Chapter 605 – [My Summer Vacation]

The pirate fleet headed for the northern islands at high speed.

The vacation period lasted a little over a month, and I couldn’t stay there for long because I couldn’t just invest time in it, but it went pretty quickly.

“But this doesn’t have to go back and forth. How does it go back?”

“That’s it. Don’t worry. If it goes well and we can land on the island, we’ll build a [Bridge to connect space] There. It’ll be a while to get back.”

“Uh, I thought I prepared something, so that’s it?”

“It’s hard to use on the sea, where the coordinates change subtly once a wave hits, but it’s a different story if you’re on an island. It’s an item that can be used even if you drift on an island, so don’t worry.”

On the one hand, it was fine. No matter how many days it took to get there, a round trip would take twice as long.

But it would be great if that time could be cut in half. I thought I had to go through another dimension.

“I’ll be arriving soon. The wind isn’t too bad.”

“Yes”

“Can you even recognize the sea breeze?”

“I don’t know about that, but it feels like it. It’s because I have such a good sixth sense.”

Something is carried by the wind. It’s weak, but it’s ugly… It’s not so openly, it’s a wind that makes you feel like there’s something there.

It’s cold in the north. Perhaps because the geography is similar, the colder you go north or south, the closer you get to the northern islands, the sweltering heat disappears.

It’s summer now, so even if it’s better, it might be difficult to go to the sea in winter.

But to live in this land?

“I can’t use this kind of land because I don’t have it. The only land I haven’t found in this world is the one I made with my own fantasy like Rurikies.”

“But”

This is why it is not so good for places with large land masses. Since the desire for exploration leads to human development, it is difficult to develop on the one hand in this world.

Even if what the western powers did to the natives of the East or Africa is so damn bad, it is a good part of civilization to have developed navigation or technology for that.

They say that if they gather together like in this world, only trouble will arise, and there will be little desire for development.

“It will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At that time, we plan to start in earnest, so be prepared.”

“Okay”

It’s only me and Edward who enter. One boat. Others decided to leave it just in case.

If I were there, even in the worst case, even if the ship was destroyed, Edward could be saved. Then the pirate fleet will be safe.

Those who had it had to take care of others as well. Thanks to that, I couldn’t make a reckless plunge, so I needed various preparations.

“Nanana! I want to go too! I want to go in too!!!!”

“Do you know what will happen and take you away? You are just here.”

“Are you going to abandon me now?”

“Oh, if anyone hears it, they’ll think it’s from a lover who left a date.”

If Shion had been there, he would have beaten Ruby like a fly. No matter what I do, my original wife is Zion!!!!

Anyway, where we are going is a rough place. You don’t know what will happen, but it’s hard to take a child who isn’t even the same continental 10 strong.

“What if I go and die? So stay here.”

“I’m going to follow you secretly!!!!”

“At the point of saying that, you’ve already half failed.”

“Half of it was successful at the time I made up my mind, so you have to do it to know it!!!!”

“Are you taking literature class with me? Why are you so talkative?”

He must have just been stubborn, but… He had to leave Ruby behind somehow.

Of course, not only that, but I also plan to buy insurance. Because Rubys has the potential to become a new continental ship, it had the power to protect the remaining fleet with just a few preparations.

“Just in case you don’t know, I’ll give you a lot of imagination. If something big happens later, I’ll become a giant and take care of it.”

“It must be impossible to make it very large with a reasonable amount?”

“It’s not a fair amount, so it’s okay”

Imagination is not internal energy, but a power close to will.

Ah, maybe that’s why the power of fantasy accumulated in the power of imagination battery is volatilized over time. It was a skill that had its downsides.

Anyway, it is difficult to accumulate if it goes outside the body. Like self-fantasy, even if the imagination itself is crystallized, it will eventually disappear if there is no supply.

However, on the contrary, it meant that accumulation was possible inside the body. Moreover, since it was a will-based ability, it was easier to accumulate than internal energy.

Wooooo!!!

“Wow,, Ahhhhh!

“You only use it when it’s dangerous?

“Don’t worry!!!!”

I was a bit worried. The imagination power that I inspired in Rubys was not an ordinary amount.

It is said that the consumption of imagination power increases in proportion to the rate at which Ruby’s self-fantasy grows, but considering the power of imagination that I have instilled in him now… It could possibly grow to the size of a high-rise building.

Ah, how does Ruby’s small body fit such imagination? If that’s the case, I’m just a human body, how can I contain the power of a transcendental being? It’s not like it can grow to a planet-destroying level like a phantom.

That’s how I asked for trust in Ruby and came out to the deck with Edward.

In the distance, invisible to the normal eye, I see an island faintly in my field of vision. It’s a fairly large island, but there were no signs of popularity.

“If you see that there are no people on an island like that, you will know what the situation is like.”

“No, how far is it, can you feel it? Is your fantasy that way?”

“Okay”

“Tsk, if you knew, you tried to sell it as information.”

“Do you also serve as information manager? Is your income good?”

“It’s fine”

I opened my eyes again.

The way I found the Black Witch in the Black Forest was simple but ignorant.

It’s like trying to find a piece of transparent tape pasted on white drawing paper, but you can’t find it no matter how much you look at it.

It is to expand my senses, place them all within range, and find a place where none of them are detected. Are you fucking ignorant?

Actually, I’m going to be crazy, so if I add a few conditions here, it’ll hurt like my head is spinning, but in the black forest, the range was small, and it was easy to find because there was no one here.

“From what I’ve seen, the deepest part of the sea on the biggest island in the center is suspicious.”

“First of all, since it’s said by someone who has dealt with delusion once, you have to believe it. Okay, first, let’s stop by the nearest island and see the reaction, then go there.”

Leaving the pirate fleet and Rubys out of the island’s influence, we entered the island cautiously.

And the air changes. Like a black forest, the air was like a faint fantasy.

“It’s not a very good wind. Any reaction?”

“Not yet”

The void in the center of the system was still unmoved.

Unlike the Black Witch, I wondered if it was self-fantasy in a slightly different field, but I wasn’t sure either. Even in the Black Forest, I couldn’t figure out that the Black Witch was alive.

I had to be careful, so I slowed down a little, but it still went faster than a normal ship. After some time passed, we were able to set foot on the first island of the archipelago.

“What, did you lose your self-fantasy as time passed? It’s so different from the last time.”

“I don’t think so”

“On what grounds?”

“My sense”

If the self-fantasy had naturally disappeared after a really long time, my senses would have told me, ‘It’s okay now!’

But my senses are still tense. If other people say it, it’s bullshit, but what the person with the ‘sensation’ ability says is not for nothing.

No, it’s a feeling that’s at the level of winning the lottery if you pick any number and shoot it.

“Yes, there are times when that feeling is important. Then, shall we go a little deeper?”

“That would be nice”

We boarded the boat again and entered the islands.

Although the movement of the current is quite complex, Edward maneuvered the boat skillfully. It is not simply because it is a ship made up of self-fantasy, but because the person’s sailing skills are excellent.

“Ha! Didn’t I awaken the [Great Pirate’s Invincible Armada] From the beginning? I started with a small boat and came here like this! If you can’t drive a boat, you’re a pirate, right?”

“But I don’t think it’s a bit like drunk driving!!!!”

Haha! This is about half an hour! I’m not even drunk!!!”

I always drink rum, so even if my alcohol level is low, I can only increase it.

Anyway, we continued to enter the system. The weather became chilly enough to think about putting on another coat, but the sea was quiet.

“By the way, does this place have a different name?”

“It’s just the Northern Islands. The names I used to call them are now dead.”

“No, it’s not that, it’s delusion.”

“That’s got a cool name for it, storm waters!”

After the Black Forest, it is the Storm Sea.

I don’t think I’ll get a title like delusion slayer at this rate. To be honest, it’s such a title that I don’t really need even if I have it.

“It’s too quiet anyway.”

“Yeah, there’s a saying that it’s quiet before a storm. It’s a bit strange if it’s this quiet.”

“How many times have you been there?”

“Back then, it wasn’t a joke from the entrance.”

Little by little, we were getting closer to the island in the middle of the archipelago. But no response. If you got this close, there must be some kind of reaction…

It’s fine if you don’t have it. All you have to do is quietly enter and destroy the source.

“It’s not in the deep abyss, so you can swim in and destroy your imagination.”

“Can’t you swim?”

“Shall we catch a killer whale?”

“Basically, whale meat has a sour smell, so it doesn’t taste good if it’s not handled well.”

“Oh, that’s the same”

We stopped the boat at some distance. Then he got ready to go into the sea and deal with the self-fantasy that created the storm waters.

Edward also loads the ship’s cannons. He hadn’t even properly discovered gunpowder yet, so he wondered why there was a cannon, but it was a cannon that was triggered using imagination.

“Because we can support you in times of need. If something happens, come out right away.”

“What are you worried about?”

“Because if you die, you’ll be chased by the Empire for the rest of your life. That’s kind of scary.”

“What else am I saying? Don’t worry.”

Soon after, I dived into the sea.

It moves quickly through the water while splashing. A body that has been strengthened by using inner energy can move freely even in water.

Of course, it couldn’t be helped that it couldn’t move outside the water. If you pay attention, there might be a way to act as if there is no water resistance, but……. This is not my major.

Even transcendentalists have their own good and bad skills. My organs are always killing me, it wasn’t something like a catch that works well in a place like this.

“…….Here it is”

I muttered involuntarily, but all that came out was only water droplets. There is no one to hear, no one to hear.

The location of the blank that my intuition grasped is inside a cave-like place under the sea that is quite deep. Somehow it feels ominous.

But I entered the cave without hesitation. It was so dark that I couldn’t really see anything because it was underwater and inside a cave.

I didn’t know what would come out, but I thought the first thing to do was to secure my sight. So, I lightly used my inner energy to create a light sphere that emits light.

And what was there

It was a huge sea dragon that was coiled up and asleep.

“……………..”

No, I thought it was something that caused weather changes, but sea dragons?! Why sea dragon?!

Is it the same case as the Black Witch? Did self-fantasy manifest itself as a creature?

I had many questions, but it wasn’t until I came this close that I discovered the source of the void.

A small bead embedded in his head, his forehead. It was the same as the one the Black Witch in the Black Forest had before.

Cruru……..

Soon, the sleeping boy opened his eyes.

I am reminded of a story Edward once told me in passing. The ocean currents in the storm waters are said to be alive.

Reality wasn’t like being alive, it was really alive.

But it actually happened!!!!

Kreureaaaaa

It roared at me with its hideous red eyes shining.
