Chapter 43 (1/2)

CHAPTER 43 – KILLING TIME WITH PIRATES

We are having a barbecue on top of the RV.

The meat is the tuna I fished(?) yesterday.

We had sus.h.i.+ yesterday as planned, but although s.h.i.+ro is a great glutton she couldn’t finish it all so I preserved some meat with〈Pinnacle of Storage〉.

Because the time stops in the storage, it didn’t lose any freshness.

「Un, delicious」

There are parts with a lot of fat which got insanely greasy after cooking so I prefer eating it raw.

In spite of being a dragon, s.h.i.+ro is eating in silence without stopping, she discriminating against food. Still, I have a feeling that most of the 50-meter tuna disappeared in her stomach over the two days……

The Demon Continent is still far away, the sea spreads as far as I can see.

Because the weather continues to be nice all the time, the waves are calm too.

We filled up our stomachs and set up beach chair’s on the RV’s roof to relax.

「Gefu. Satisfied. Sleep」

s.h.i.+ro who ate the portion for ten mutters in satisfaction and lies together with me selfishly. She undressed without us noticing again, but it has become a usual occurrence already so Tira doesn’t tsukkomi anymore.

「Swim~!」

「Hey, there are monsters, it’s dangerous」

Filia who changed into her swimsuit jumps into the sea and Ellen follows her in panic.

Just a while ago, a Fishman monster, Gillman appeared, but Filia kicked it flying without noticing.

So peaceful.

However, we could only peacefully enjoy the afternoon.

「Are, isn’t that a s.h.i.+p?」

Tira points towards the northeast.

「Certainly, it’s a s.h.i.+p」

A considerably big s.h.i.+p sails through the sea.

Considering its course, it will directly crash with our vehicle.

By the way, the s.h.i.+p has a raised flag with a skull drawn on it.

Un, horribly easy to understand pirate s.h.i.+p.

According to〈Pinnacle of Information〉, this is a s.h.i.+p belonging to Soil pirates, a quite well-known group of pirates.

I was just looking for something to kill time with.

「Quite good-looking women got on」

We were restricted by ropes and taken on the pirate deck.

「Hou, these will sell for a lot. However, how did this mostly female group trespa.s.s in our, the Soil pirate group’s territory?」

The one rudely appraising us is a captain of these pirates who is surprisingly a woman in her mid-twenties.

She’s quite tanned, but she certainly has quite a charm, she’s a beauty.

「In the first place, that thing, what’s that? It doesn’t look like a fis.h.i.+ng boat」

The female captain points at our RV and asks.

「It’s Recreational Vehicle」

「Recreational……?」

She asks again with a curious expression. Maa, that’s natural.

「I don’t understand well, but it smells of treasure. Oi, let’s retrieve it first」
