Chapter 76 (1/2)

Nothing happened in particular after the pirate ship attacked. The ship sailed smoothly in the calm ocean.

[I see..... you are a butler of princess Naminissa and Wazu is the countries hero huh..... the royal family is a place full of conspiracies!! It doesn't suit me as expected. It's a good choice to no never get involved with that kind of place] (Grave)

[Certainly, I never heard Grave-sama backing up some country] (Feud)

[You bet!!] (Grave)

Freud and Grave-san are getting along well. But Freud, I wonder if it’s good to disclose a country's internal affairs so much.

[Wazu dude is quite strong to be able to defeated Fluegel, but why he is still F-rank adventurer?] (Grave)

[Well..... how should I put this, he never gets the timing to raise his rank, or something like that?] (Freud)

[F-ranked defeated S-ranked, what kind on nonsense is that!! Even I am not sure I could win if I had to fight Fluegel.  He is in the top position among the fellow S-rank adventurers if we are talking about pure strength] (Grave)

[Hou~~] (Wazu)

We were talking about such topic at the edge of ship, at the same time there was a little shake on the ship and a sound that reached my ears.

---------- *dokun - dokun* ----------

Beating tone such as heartbeat sound could be heard more clearly than ever, and it seems I am the only one who could hear it. The first thing that comes to my mind when hearing this sound was a large number of monsters will be coming.....

Though I think it's impossible, I leaned forwards my body from the edge of ship to check the surrounding ocean. Freud and Grave-san shows a puzzled look because of my action, a moment later the ship greatly swaying around. The two instantly put their faces over of the edge of the ship, switches to a position where they can vomit at any time. These guys are useless.

There is a reason for the ship swaying greatly. When I turn my eyes towards the bottom of a ship, there was a great numbers of fish that was enough to cover the ocean are single-mindedly swimming to the same direction,  as if to escape from something.....

If I turn my line of sight toward the opposite direction of the ocean where the fish were swimming, there are a large number of monster approaching to the extent can be seen even from a distance. Regardless of their aim is this ship or not, it seems they are actively annihilating the fish who couldn't escape.

I think that the ship can safely escape from this area with the current speed, but the sight of fish that were slaughtered is unpleasant to watch. Freud speaks to me with his pale face when I was distorting my face.

[Wazu-sama, it's better to not hold yourself---

*orororororororororororo*] (Freud)

[Yeah..... do what suit yourself] (Grave)

I stop rubbed their back,  I put my foot on the edge of ship and jump off to the ocean. I bolted towards direction where the monsters were while being careful not to tread on fish.
