Story 47

“This is the map of what I know.”
Black Dragon handed a map over.
We’re aboard the beat up sailing ship.
I accepted Black Dragon’s reward for exterminating zombies.
On the map there were two continents and a number of islands in between them drawn carefully.
And, going in a line straight south, there’s an indistinct shadow of an island drawn.
“This is?”
When I asked Black Dragon,
“I was born in the southern hemisphere. However I was very young, so I don’t remember it well, sorry.”
“Southern hemisphere? So it exists?”
“Of course it does. Whether it was annihilated in a battle between the goods or the mischief of spirits, it became impossible to go there roughly one thousand years ago.”
I had called them sun and moon at my convenience, but there are stars and satellites, so this is obviously a planet.
Rather, what’s more serious is why you’re unable to go there.
“What happens if you try to go to the southern hemisphere?”
“It’s like you’re pushed … you can’t proceed. No, well, I had also tried to go, but before I knew it I would be returning towards the northern hemisphere. It’s that kind of feeling.”
“U-n…”
So there’s that kind of fantastic phenomenon, huh?
It’s kind of similar to the monster from my previous world called the ‘nurikabe’, but for the entire equator to be a nurikabe?
It’s like there’s some wide-scaled magic at work.
Can you do it with space magic? To the entire equator?
“What kind of god is it?”
“It’s obviously the work of gods, na. Well, the ones who went to fight that god disappeared afterwards, it seems. This boat was the same.”

There are countless scars on the ship from a fight.
When I entered the cabin, there was a piece of parchment with “Adventurers will adventure” written on it stuck on the wall.
There are pots and tableware scattered on the floor and tables of the cabin.
When I peeked into the other rooms, there was a room with torn hammocks strung in it and a room with wine casks packed in it, but there were no human bones.
Black Dragon was definitely conscientious and cleaned it up.
If I replace the sail and fix the broken spots, it looks like we can use it.

“Un, it’s a good ship, ne.”
“Then I’m relieved.”
“It’s just, we can’t man this huge sailing ship with just the three of us, and there aren’t any sailors…”
“That is the case. Water Dragon will escort you to the nearest port town, so can’t you find sailors there?”
“Aa, that’s true. I’ll do that.”
“Are you departing immediately? If there’s anything you need, whether from the mansion or the town, I won’t mind so you can take it with you.”
“Ee. Thank you very much.”

When we returned to the mansion, Ayl was making a fuss.
“What’s up?”
“Look! The title on my Adventurer’s Card!”
Ayl showed me her Adventurer’s Card.
[Protector of Dragons] and [Sword King] were recorded on the card.
The level was also like 58.
She’s surpassed the previous hero, hasn’t she?

“A, me too.”
Velsa looked at her own card.
“Velsa also has an Adventurer’s card?”
“Aa, just in case; I thought I might travel by boat, so I got it at Marina Port.”
Velsa’s card also has [Protector of Dragons] recorded.
Her level is also 25, not too bad.
“My level also went up. I killed too many masmascarl.”
Velsa was experimenting by dissecting masmascarls and set out recovery dumplings, so she probably defeated zombified monsters.

“A, I don’t have it.”
There wasn’t an special title on my Adventurer’s Card.
For the level to be 95, this is kind of really bad. I can’t show this guy to anyone.

“You probably earned the title because we are grateful to you. I don’t know the reason why Naoki didn’t get the title.”
“Is there any sort of profit or anything to a title?”
“Isn’t it that status growth speed will go up? It’s been a long while since my level’s risen, so I don’t really know, though.”
Black Dragon responded.
“A special correction to the numbers has been made. Muu… I want the Appraisal Skill!”
Ayl is delighted.
“I wonder why it didn’t get added to Naoki?”
To Velsa’s question, I think it’s because I’m an ‘otherworlder’.
“Well, it’s not like I particularly need it. Aside from that, prepare for sailing! Gather the things you need, and let’s set off!”
“Got it!”
“OK!”

Packing our things, we boarded the ship.
Although I said packing, it was just putting things in the item bag so it wasn’t a big deal.
Everything we thought we might need just went in.
Then I carried the bottle with the ticks and brought it onto the ship.
Those two are staring at me like, ‘he’s doing it again’, but good grief, these two don’t understand the importance of these ticks.
I had asked the dragon girls whether there’s a chrysanthemum-like flower, but it turns out they don’t know of any other flowers other than the white flowers we used while making the sleeping medicine.
I didn’t diligently search the island, but it seems like there aren’t any, so I gave up on this island.

When it came time to depart, the dragons saw us off.
“Hurry and get on, ya? I’m, like, gonna escort you.”
and Black Dragon rebuked Water Dragon for speaking that way.

“Then, let’s meet again some day! We intend to stay here for some time longer. If there’s some stray dragon, it would be helpful if you brought him here!”
“Aa, of course! Because I’m a [Protector of Dragons]!”
Ayl thoughtlessly made the promise. Not my problem.

Water Dragon is in the shape of a dragon, pulling a rope attacked to the prow of the ship, and we slowly set off.
The dragon girls and we three waved our hands until we couldn’t see each other.

As the island became smaller, I completely ignored Water Dragon-chan and headed to the cabin.
While preparing my bed in the cabin, I announced a matter I had been persisting in.

“Sorry, but can I say something? Haven’t you noticed me being a little strange recently?”
“Nope, since Naoki’s been strange since I’ve met you.”
So Ayl said, and Velsa consented like she was the same.
“That so. Well, see. Recently, all sorts of things have been making me turned on; I can’t help it. Like, Ayl’s scent turning me on, and the dragon girls’ get ups entering my sight.”
“What, so it’s that. So hopeless. Guys, I mean. Good grief.”
“He’s a male creature, so it’s inevitable. If it’s Naoki, it’s not like we don’t get along, and I’m not against it.”
Ayl and Velsa said so, and made to take off their clothes.
“Wait wait! I’m against it. I’m not going to go steady with you guys after this, so I don’t want to. No, well, what I wanted to say is that once we reach the next port town, let’s move separately. Because I’m going to drop by the brothel.”
“Say that first. Good grief.”
“What, so it’s like that. Got it.”

Outside the window, Water Dragon-chan’s eye appeared.
“Like, did you guys, like, hear me?”
“””Wasn’t listening.”””
