112 Episode 112: Underwater Pirate Ships (1/2)
The sea's rough, pirate.
It's a bunch of villains who attack merchant ships, take their precious loads, sell the people they've taken as slaves, and kill those who resist.
In some countries far away, some say the royal government tolerates pirates attacking merchant ships in other countries. They call it a private looting boat, but those who are attacked are not accumulated.
Prine's home - a merchant ship of the Lamoud family, they've also been attacked by pirates several times in the past. Most of the time, the former adventurers who rode as escorts returned the favor, and now that seems to be over.
The Sukhuk kingdom flourishes in the dungeons of the gods and has a large number of adventurers. Apparently there are considerably fewer assholes trying to get their hands on that ship. Royal governments in other countries also seem to be ordering private looters not to get their hands on Sukhu.
Nevertheless, there are still cases where pirates from some countries, unaware of the circumstances around them, inadvertently get their hands on a ship boarded by adventurers and are lightly attacked back and sunk from ship to ship.
I don't know if this is the kind of ship, but me and Prine were on the deck of a sunken pirate ship.
It was connected from the cave to the bottom of the floor of the pirate ship, which may mean that this is a dungeon of the gods. It's a dungeon of whimsical gods. Guess it's just useless to care.
Check the map in your brain.
The interior was clearly wider than the size of the ship. The usual one. I guess the space is twisted.
The key to the ”submarine gate” that the Titanico is waiting for appears to be among the pirate ships.
Out on deck, we found another entrance to the cabin. Put out the rotating feather ”Propeller” and move on.
As we proceeded down the narrow aisle, there was a door on the right. According to the map, the path lies ahead. There's also a chest. I opened the door.
”... Ooh!
”Wow!”
Surprise me and Prine. Inside it was like a 'liquor store'. A table and chairs are arranged in a large room, with a counter bar in the back.
The door closed on its own. At the same time, the sea water was consumed (...).
In an instant, the situation was no different from that of a land liquor store.
Drinking at the table are men of the wind, such as being pirates to see. I'm not hooked on 'Detection'. That means it's not a monster. You look human.
The gaze of the whole room gathers upon us. I went forward so that Prine could hide behind me and protect her.
”Whoa? What, Bowes and your little girl, you're an adventurer?
”Hey, get out of the way. No! Come here and drink. Drink!
It's a welcome mood. Feeling good pirates...... you mean?
”This is a cute customer. Let's order first.”
A bartender at the counter called out to us.
But I can't help but be deceptive (...) here.
”Ra-kun...”
”Oh. Like you're not leaving me.”
With an anxious prine holding hands, I went to the counter and sat down in an empty chair.
But Prine stood anxiously right next to me. There's a subtle distance in the chair next door, and the other next to that, I guess I'm scared because there's an old pirate who's looking at this one and sneering.
I stepped out of the chair and sat there with the prine. I stood behind her and put my hands on her hips. It's okay, I'm not scared. I can hear Prine's relieved exhale.
A moustache bartender on the other side of the counter, with his hair all-back, wipes the glass and asks without looking at us.
”Make it what?
”Coffee please. And this guy has milk.”
”There's no such thing. This is what we have.”
The bartender put more and more bottles of whiskey on the table.
I think it's the kind of interaction you've seen somewhere. He promised me a play. I didn't think I'd do it myself.
The bartender stopped wiping the glass. He looked at me.
”By adventurer, you mean you're already an adult, right?
In this country, I'll be an adult at fifteen, but that's pre-construction. They still treat me like a child.
Even when I walked into the store earlier, they said Bowes and the lady.
A bartender lays down two tiny glasses, tilts a liquor bottle, and pours brown, cloudy liquid. Is it my fault that the smoke seemed to stand? I can't tell if it's poisonous or just poor alcohol quality. I feel similar to both of them.
”Or do wizards only drink crazy herbal tea?
To the words of the bartender, duh wah hah! and the whole store laughed out. What was so funny right now? What, a pirate joke?
I cut back as I stroked Prine's shoulder frightened by laughter.
”You're a much older image of a 'sorcerer'.”
Herbal tea.
That sounds like a traditional magician or wizard who simmers grass and leaves in a pot and makes herbs and tea.
The Dungeon Guild Adventurer's profession ”Job,” ”The Wizard,” does not perform such sorcery. It should be common sense for those living in this country right now...
Knock, barten raised his eyebrows.
”That's right. We've been at the bottom of the ocean for almost 300 years.”
”What? 300 years?
”Yes, 300 years ago, we were sunk every ship... by a warcraft.”
A bartender who squeals to remember with his eyes narrowed. I, uh, said something. [M]
”Is that story long?
”... there's nothing to stop you at times like this.”
”Honestly, I'm not interested in talking about pirates.”
”You...”
”I mean, if you're a pirate ship, why do you have a bartender?
”I'm curious, there or at all... I was originally captain of this ship.”
The captain's a bartender, isn't he?
”They sank the ship because of me. The captain is responsible.”
I see. I ask further.
”I was about to say, were you sunk by a warcraft?
”Oh. He was a horribly big guy. I've never seen that before. We've been stuck in this dungeon ever since, and we can't get out. Except...”
And Captain Bartender saw us.
”If you entertain adventurers, that's all the shorter prison terms. That's what the dungeon god said.”
I read the captain's breath winking.
Slightly shallow, slightly faster breathing. faint excitement, mockery, prudence and a sense of superiority.
Oh, I knew it.
When I'm convinced, from all over the store, I tend to! and I heard something bump.
The pirates are holding a jock in one hand.
Everyone shouted with a full grin.
”Here's to adventurers!
”Cheers to the bottom of the earth, to the end of the sea, to the beyond of the sky without the command to adventure!
”Here's to the gods of the dungeons!
”” Cheers!
He seems to be honoring us. Whatever the history, it may be something similar to ”those living in the dungeon,” like the Hopper tribe, the fairy Fairy, or the cat cleric.
The bartender, come on, and the liquor is advancing.
”This is luxury from me. I've never taken money from a customer.”
”Huh.”
Hold the glass in your hand and carry it to your mouth. As I recall along the way, I asked.
”I heard there's a chest here.”
”Oh, that or. Take it with you.”
”Is that good?
”I don't mind. We can't open it.”
And a large chest is placed on the counter table.
Coming.
In the end, I put down a glass that I didn't even put on my mouth, and I touched the chest. When you unlock and open the trap with sheaf skill, inside -
”Devil Black Inverness!
”Tori hat!
It contained a black Inverness coat and a pointed hat with a triangular cone.
All right. Both are magician gear. Me and Prine, we can both gear up, but as we discussed in advance, I'll take both.
I just equipped myself.

The Inverness Court was +40 and the Tori Hat was +20.
It's the same defense as the ”old court coat” that Emma used to give me, but I never think it's low. That's the protective gear you can't get unless you complete a special event, so you should think that you're finally getting as much protective gear as that, usually on the route.
When I got dressed, I had my purine coat stretched out for a long time and went inside. I thought it would be nice to get naked in the tavern, and with the meaning of the ops conference.
Hissing, we discuss.
”You're on schedule so far.”
”Oh yeah......!
”Are you all right, Prine? It's all right, because I'm here.”
”Ugh, yeah......! Thanks, Ra-kun!
Tense, grinning prine. Lovely.
And being in the coat means that Prine also naturally looks like underwear.
And of course, I'm dressed in underwear, too.
”……………… (J)”
”……………… (J)”
A pair of sorcerers staring at each other half naked.
Prine's gaze is focused on my chest and stomach. It's kind of awkward. I stare at losers and prine boobs, too. Hidden in his coat and almost forgotten, Prine's underwear is an ultra-fine shorts with a tube top where his chest is almost unhidden and his buttocks rounded out.
