300 #285 Sunken ship exploration.txt (1/2)

Today is the day of the duel with the Dark Summoner. Naturally, you should have an adventure, and if you die, all sorts of things will be ruined, so you should weigh yourself.

''Why are you here at the beach...Tact-san?''

Aeon was taken aback by this.

'No. You had that thing about wanting to raise Saffy's level and the sinking ship.　I can't stop thinking about that one.

After all, when I hear of a wreck, I expect a treasure.

Huh...I understand. But if it becomes dangerous, please retreat, okay?

Aeon nailed it, so we headed out to search for the sunken ship with safety first. The members were Aeon, Rian, Puyosuke, Diane, and Safi.

Puyosuke was asked by Aeon. Well, for safety reasons, it was only natural to choose Puyosuke to stick with me.

Besides, there's a nasty one in the place we're heading. However, Puyosuke would be able to neutralize them.

I'm going to get on Saffy and head out to search for the sinking ship.

It's still fast when you're on Saffy. As soon as we arrive at the destination, we are immediately attacked by gun fish.

”Everybody get behind me!　Puyosu!　Please!

Puyousuke is a wall and prevents gunfire. It looks like gunfire won't work on Puyosuke after all. Puyosuke's different.

It's no longer as easy as the other day. I readied my spear and rammed through with Safi. Aeon and the rest of the team follow suit and lay waste to the area.

It's totally different when Safi is around. Good boy, good boy.''

”Squeak!

Saffy is in a good mood when Rian compliments her.

I'm complicated. The reason it's different at all is because it's me. As a result of being able to attack me on Saffy without Aeon, Rian, and Dian caring about me, my movements have changed dramatically.

When I think of that as the original underwater battle between Aeon, Rian and Dian, I realize, even if I don't want to, how much of a drag I was holding back.

''Well... um... I was happy that Takuto-san fought underwater!

Aeon comforts me, but I'm not denying that I'm slowing down. Well, we'll make up for it now. I'm sure that without Safi, the useless sign will stay on forever.

When I got my mind back on track and was exploring the wreck, I found more monsters besides Octopus.

Ship Ghost Lv8.

Normal Monster Target Active

It's a white-decorated ghost. It looks like a ghost that's haunting the ship. It's probably possessed, so we'll take it down with a quick Saint.

I mean, whoever possesses this crew is going to be out of luck. No hard feelings.

I'll continue my search, but I can't find the treasure I'm looking for. Well, it's not every day that a ship is carrying a treasure, is it?

But finally, we found a medium-sized ship that looks promising. Then the first monster appears again.

Skeleton Explorer Lv. 10

Normal Monster Target Active

If it's an explorer's ship, does that mean this ship is an explorer's ship? This is a high expectation. For now--.

Saint!

Goodbye, explorer. We'll take your treasure. Huh? I'm starting to feel like a pirate.

There were also a lot of skeleton explorers on board. Well, it's all one hit with a Saint, so it's not a problem.

I go through the room. And I finally found a treasure chest in what I thought was the captain's office. But there's someone in the way.

Skeleton Explorer Captain Lv 20.

Normal Monster Target Active

Saint!

That's a long name! It's a pain in the ass! And I don't have time for this!

'You're relentless... tact, sir.

'I don't have much time, so I don't have a choice. It's more of a treasure chest!

Aeon's tension rises, but we have a problem. The treasure chest won't unlock... unfortunately none of us have the skill to open it.

According to Luke, goblins have the skill. Other summoned beasts have been identified as Thief Crows, Hobbits, and Dwarves, but unfortunately, the summoner himself cannot acquire the skill.

However, this treasure, what a surprise, entered my inventory. This one can be opened by asking Luke or someone else to open it!

After being impressed by the gentle specifications, I put the treasure chest in my inventory and suddenly felt a vibration from the ship. I was an idiot for being even slightly impressed!

Mr. Tact!

No!　I can't turn around!　Let's get off the ship!

”Yes!

As we ejected from the ship, the ship was just about to be crushed by a giant shell. Identified.

Shakomimic Lv 23.

Normal Monster Target Active

I would object. No matter how much of a mimic you are, you didn't see anything from above!

While I was doing that, the ship was eaten by a shakomimic.

Now, what to do... and then Shakomimic came towards us with his mouth crunching.

'Thunderbranch!'

The Thunderbranch hits, but again, hitting the shell doesn't work. Then I'll time it and aim for the inside. There!

”Blitz!

The result was a blitz on the body of the shako shell, which did some damage.

'Ion, Rian, Dian. Did you see that earlier?

'Yes!　I should just attack those contents, right?

'Leave it to me. Mr. Takuto is in danger, so please stay here!

Huh?

Yes, that's it.

...Yes?

''Hmm. Takuto-senpai has a weakness for Aeon-senpai.

Rian laughed at me. Oh no, as a senior, I have to show some dignity here!

Mr. Tact?

I will cover you with magic.

Not a good minute in the water... d*mn it.

”Please. I'm coming!　Leanne!

Hmm. Yes!　Senior Aeon!

So I'll be in charge of debuffing, and then I'll work with Diane on blitzes and poison breaths for damage.

But this Shakomimic, as its level indicates, was strong. After attacking a few times, he would close his mouth and rotate to hit me, or when he thought he had opened his mouth, he used a splash.

If I had been in close combat like Ion was, it could have been a close call.
