Chapter 591 – [My Fantasy Academia]
I don’t know what the size of this planet is, but considering the maximum of my feeling, it’s at least a planet that’s not much different from Earth.
And the continent of Arcadia, the only continent on the planet, is very huge. It is probably at the level where the continents were once attached to each other like Pangea on Earth.
Thanks to this, it is safe to say that there is almost no unexplored land as they live huddled together on one continent. Unless there was something unusual like Delusion Land, or it was the home of a race like Dragon Mountains.
And the Northern Islands were a case of the former.
“The Northern Islands, made up of 7 islands, is more than enough to easily build a country, considering the size of the land. It’s a little cold, but it’s quite a coveted place because it’s a land where you can grow crops and farm.”
“But why?”
“The current is like hell. I’ve been in there a few times, but I ran away for fear of dying at the entrance.”
Oh, I get it roughly. Because there is nothing more scary than current in the sea.
Edward nervously gulped down his rum and continued.
“The currents in the Northern Islands are like those of a prostitute, so capricious that even a large sailboat can be rammed somewhere and destroyed at once. It makes you wonder if it is alive.”
“Is that enough? But at that level of sea, it doesn’t seem natural.”
“Of course”
I took a sip of rum. It’s not delicious, but it’s been a while since I’ve been drinking and it’s pretty good.
Write, this episode has everything to do even though you’re young, so it’s not good to live long…
“When people lived in the Northern Islands, there was a belief in superstitions, even sea gods.”
“The sea god? Why does the face look like an octopus or a fish?”
If something like Cthulhu suddenly appears here, I’m scared too. Even if the real Cthulhu can’t do it, isn’t Rodgo the absolute agenda?
“It’s just a superstition. There are only three gods in this world. Superstitions are common among sailors.”
It’s not a particularly strange story. As he said, superstitions exist everywhere, and if you live in a fickle environment like the sea, you have no choice but to rely on them.
In the first place, humans are weak, so they want to lean on something, and as a result, they create gods. After that, you have to graduate from Shin, but it is still a necessary intermediate course.
“Then, after a while, the storm showed no signs of calming the sea. The inhabitants of the islands decided to quell the anger of the sea god by offering a girl as a sacrifice.”
“It’s like a climber.”
“Yes, looking at the results, it was a foolish act. There is no such thing as a sea god, and just like that, only innocent people were sacrificed to an object that did not exist.”
In Edward’s story, the subject is not the person sacrificed.
It’s her mother
“The girl was sacrificed, and the girl’s mother, who cried for a week and night, threw herself into the sea, blaming the residents of the island. And the storm…. It was swallowed up and wiped out. All that remains are a few survivors who have flowed into the islands and continents.”
“Originally, if a woman harbors resentment, frost will fall even in May.”
I don’t mean that women are like that, but I’m not saying it for nothing.
Resentment, hatred, resentment, if a person harbored such feelings, it was natural to cause anything. And the scariest person is all the more frightening because he has nothing more to lose.
“After all, there is no god they believed in, and it’s pretty ironic that the grudge they created to live killed them.”
“Perhaps some self-fantasy is messing with the climate there.
“Hmm”
After the story, Edward narrowed his eyes and asked me.
“Yes, are you interested? If you want to go to the Northern Islands, can you provide boats and various support from this side?”
“After all, what you want is the institution itself, right?”
“I might be able to negotiate amicably with the empire. Because you’re the one who solved the delusion of the Black Forest, not anyone else.”
To be honest, I’m not interested in that kind of gain.
However, there is one thing that gets in the way because of the strange object that I found in the Black Witch’s residence last time.
A strange object that makes me not even detect my feelings. And someone like the Black Witch had encountered.
If it was like someone else, I would have thought that it was just a delusion, but my intuition was prodding that there was something. That means there’s a good chance there’s something identical.
My intuition is to ignore intermediate steps and draw conclusions if supported by sufficient information. I think this is the same case.
“So, when are you going?”
“I’m on vacation”
“…………..”
Don’t ignore the busy student’s schedule!!!!!
* * *
First of all, a plan to visit the Northern Islands, which was not in my schedule, arose.
By the time vacation is around, the academy will probably be in the northeastern seas of the empire, so if you go to the north by boat from there, it won’t be that far and you’ll be there soon, but it will take a few days, so it’s like going on vacation or not.
If you are absent 3 times, you are retaking the class! Do you think you’ll get a retake?
“Well, I’ve been waiting for decades, so how many months can I wait? I promise later.”
“I’m fine with that guy as long as he doesn’t cling to me.”
Way to end the story and go back. But then I spotted someone on the boat next to me.
Little girl. She was, at best, a girl the same age as Luminous. Since she was on a pirate ship, she was such an out of place.
………. She’s the only one I can think of as a woman on board a ship of rough sailors. But the girl over there smiled and waved her hand contrary to my imagination.
“Who is that child?”
“Ah, if it’s that boat… It’s Max’s daughter.”
“Isn’t it normal for a boat to not carry a woman, even a child?”
What did you say, there is such a superstition.
The reason ships are usually given female names is because the captains and crew are mostly male. It may have a slightly sexual meaning, but anyway, the ship is expressed as a woman.
Even in English-speaking countries, she can often be seen using she when referring to a ship. Therefore, there is a superstition that if a woman is on a boat, she will not carry a woman because the boat will be jealous and will not cruise.
“I don’t just pick up pirates in my fleet. Those who have been abandoned on the continent, those who have been abandoned, and those who have nowhere else to go eventually come out to sea, so I carry them around.”
“Trying to create a country outside of the continent…”
“Those guys have one reason why they can’t enter the continent. The total number of people in the fleet is thousands of people…… It’s a rough idea, right?”
“How do you pirate?”
“I’ll end up taking some of my stuff, why?”
“You don’t kill people?”
“You can’t just kill our steady customers.”
He’s still a bit of a pirate, but he’s keeping the line.
There is nothing more annoying than discussing human good and evil. Bad guys sometimes do good things, and good people sometimes do bad things.
Whoever plunders but does not kill people, who tries to build a country by collecting people who have been abandoned by society, is he really a bad person or a good person?
The people of the continent will think of him as a bad guy, but the people of this fleet will think of him as a good man.
By my standards… At least he didn’t cross the line. That alone was worth enough for me not to touch.
He rides on Ruri’s back again and flies to the academy. The next time I see him is when I go to the Northern Islands.
[Today ended quietly]
“What is it, isn’t it usually?”
[Sometimes there are times when I protest loudly. It’s not a big deal, but there are times when our kids get scared]
“Looks like they’re in a hurry too.”
Anyone who wants to develop a good society is welcome.
If you gather those who have been abandoned by society and build a nation rather than a pirate den, I will affirm that action as the Great Demon King. It’s not a big deal to help out a little there.
[Thanks to you, I owe you this time. I can’t go far because of the academy. I can go to the Northern Islands too, but I can’t choose anything because I don’t know what will happen.]
“If you’re owed money, shoot me”
[Buy something expensive. I’ll invite you to the restaurant with the best view in the academy]
“Similar to Zion”
[Isn’t it a little bit strange to put someone else in when the two of you are together?]
“Then only Zion”
[Writing, this is why I love you dearly…]
What’s wrong with a man being a pathetic wife!!!!
Ipmun did too! There is no man who is afraid of his wife, there are only men who respect her wife!!
Ah, of course, the story of the movie, the actual Ip Man… Well, let’s not talk about it.
“It’s been a while since I talked to the Empire, so it’s time for Shion to go out as well.”
[Have you thought about the aftermath?]
“……That’s a bit scary.”
Shion’s appearance is unreasonably beautiful. Once you get used to it, you can treat it as if you were looking at a work of art, but usually it is easy to look at it with a bewildered expression.
Why is that guy from the previous life? What was it……. The second-generation conglomerate who caused a car accident while driving while watching Xion. The guy who later went to jail for telling me to break up with Shion.
His behavior was enough to beat him to death, but his obsession was understandable. Besides, what he saw at that time was Xion in adult form, and the default form was also very pretty, but he said everything in adult form that was showing off his beauty.
“At times like this, I’m so glad I’m the prince. I won’t do any repair work.”
[Beware of stalkers. As kids are kids, there is such a thing as a fan club]
“Ah, something that feels like a typical school drama has arrived!!!”
[What kind of romance game do you think school stuff is like?!]
We arrived at the academy again. Ruri dropped me off without immediately transforming into a human and flew to the department head’s office.
[Then see you next time!]
Even though he was in the form of a dragon, waving his hand was the right thing to do, so I thought that Ruri was Ruri.
When I returned to the dormitory, Shion welcomed me. Suddenly, there was only one Shion, so I was a little suspicious, but it seemed that Korma and Seon went to work at a cafe.
“Are you here?”
“I’ve been taking care of this and that. Everything was fine, right?”
“Nothing in particular happened. But what were you talking about?”
I told Shion the story I had with Edward.
Shion, who had been listening quietly, spit out.
“Pirate King? Were you wearing a straw hat?”
“Why didn’t you say that? He has one eye, but he didn’t wear a straw hat.”
Since Shion is an expert in that field, it was only natural that such words would come out after hearing the word pirate king. No, but when it comes to the pirate fleet, it’s not Luffy, it’s Don Clique.
I know a little about this field, but it’s still not enough compared to Shion. The day when I can win my wife with virtue will never come.
“And Ruri said we should eat together? I’ll make a reservation at a good restaurant.”
“Doesn’t Ruri want to go with you two?”
“It feels like a friend, right?”
“How come I feel like Mad Max Ruri, but…”
“Uh huh, write, I can’t use that ominous thing.”
“Anyway, it’s good. I’m sick of staying at home, so I want to look around. I want to take this opportunity to go out and see things.”
“Is it a date after a while? It’s good?”
If Ruri notices, she’ll make a restaurant reservation for the weekend, and she can go out and look around her academy before that date.
……… Seon will try to follow you inexhaustibly, but let’s separate her for now. No matter how much it is, I don’t think it’s a bit much to follow a couple to that point.
In the evening, Suni and Korma returned from business.
“We’re here!”
“Oh, yes, wash your hands and sit down. I made dinner.”
“Your Highness, I could have done it…”
“I’m not so ruthless to people who come to work.”
“That…Thank you.”
“What, even say thank you for something insignificant”
Then, Korma suddenly flinched and took a step back. There was a slight blush and a look of bewilderment on his face.
Meme? I didn’t do anything, what the hell is it?
“What’s the matter?”
“Oh, no, it’s nothing. It’s, um, so…”
Korma paused for a moment. It’s a bit like that because I feel like I’m trying to say something ambiguous and embarrassing.
It doesn’t feel ominous, but somehow I felt a strange feeling in another part.
“First of all, congratulations”
“What the hell are you celebrating!?”
I’m not even happy to be congratulated for no reason, what the hell is that?!
