47 Lesson 47: The Sea and the New Battleship (1/2)

”What shall we do today”

Bok looks at the requisition board as he strokes his embraced moff-moff.

”Well, I don't have a lot of requests at the moment, and I think Ali's gonna take his time until a highly-ranked request comes out.”

After a massive crusade, a highly ranked request had disappeared in the Wang Capital Adventurer's Guild.

Until recently, there were demons of various ranks near Wangdu, so there were high-ranking requests for escorts and crusades, but now only about the weak demons leaked into the crusade are around Wangdu, so I lost my job.

”Gyro, you're in such a relationship. You're asking Nashi for a job.”

Yes, Gyro, who decided to stay in the King's Capital, had asked for a variety of jobs to improve his ranks.

Having demonstrated their strength in a massive crusade, they have become famous as an E-rank party with no strangers in the Wang capital.

Huh? That they would be F-ranked?

Actually, you guys got promoted to the E-rank for being active in a massive crusade.

Finally, Liliera has been promoted to A-rank for the same reason.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but Liliera's rank of Adventurer has increased, making it harder for us to get a job.

Because the requests that are now being put up in Wangdu's guild are only being solicited for C-rank, even if they are high because of all the E and D ranks.

So, when we received a very low request because of the S and A rank, the Alliance officials told us that the client would be confused.

Besides, when we were asked to lower rank, we were told that we were actually going to take the job of the adventurers who were the right rank.

That's why we were having trouble getting a job.

In fact, the same S-rank, Mr. Roddy and the others, went back to their home country for the same reason.

But our home is this country, right?

”I don't have a problem with my life because I still have the money, but it's also my idea not to work forever to dazzle me.”

That's why I've been checking the requisition board since this morning and looking for higher-ranking requests, but I knew I hadn't put up high levels of requests yet.

”Then why don't you go to the town of Inner Ocean?

”Huh?”

I was suddenly spoken to, and when I turned around, there was an amazing person there.

”Guild leader!?”

Yes, that person is Mr. Wolds, the guild leader for this Adventurer Guild King Metropolitan Branch.

”What is the Inland Ocean?

I ask questions about the inner ocean that the Alliance leader said.

Honestly, it's a word I've never heard before.

”What, you don't know the inner ocean? The inner ocean is the great terrain created by the great war with the demons of the ages.”

That's how the guild leader begins to explain.

”They were originally flat ground, but when they did it with Dodekecrater in the war, they created deep, long canyon-shaped terrain. It was long enough for the valley to connect to the ocean, and the water flowed inland through the valley, accumulating in the crater and creating a little sea.”

”Heh, there was land like that”

I've never heard of it in my previous life, so is it what happened after I died?

”Our country is also part of the inner ocean facing the land, which is one of the rarest landlocked countries in the world, but it has become a country with sea.”

Wow, that's kind of an exciting story.

”So, why are you suggesting we go to the inner ocean?

Ms Liliera asks the question that the guild chief wants to know.

”Oh, a guild in a town along the inner ocean is looking for adventurers, and I was wondering if you guys could go if you're free.”

”Recruiting adventurers?

”That's right. You guys haven't done your work by the water, have you? Anyway, the job you guys deserve in Wangdu is not going to be out for a while. Then why don't you go out for a little sightseeing?

”How did you know we'd never done a waterfront job?

”Well, you're an adventurer in this country, and you don't know the Inland Ocean, because I don't think he's ever worked in a water field before.”

Apparently, the Inner Ocean is famous among adventurers.

”Did you know Mr. Liliera was an inner ocean?

”Well, about the name. I've heard it from adventurers and merchants coming from other towns.”

Hmm, so much so.

But it's work at sea.

I've fought on the sea stage in my previous life, but I've never seen an inner ocean, and it sounds interesting to go there once.

”Right...... then it's a corner, shall we go to the inner ocean”

”I'll follow you, as usual.”

”Cu!”

Not only Ms Liliera, but Moffmoff also replies.

”The inner ocean is connected to the sea, and the seafood is abundant. You can eat fresh sea delights all the time!

Ooh, that could be fun!

”Cuoo!”

Oops, I'm willing to go hear that Mohmov is a sea blessing.

”So, Gyro, when you guys get back, shall we go?

”I don't think that's necessary. The job they received will take several days, and it will be enough to leave a letter at home.”

Huh? Is that good?

”They're a different team from us in the first place, so you don't have to bother asking permission. Don't worry, if we want to come, we'll go on our own feet.”

Hmm, well, if you say so.

Once you get over there, you'll be free to come and go at the gate in the future.

”Then let's go as soon as we're ready!

”Yes!”

”Cu!”

◆

”Oh, I see it!

Leaving the king's capital for the inner ocean, we found a very large river that stretched beyond the earth.

I'm sure that's the valley of the inner ocean.

I'm flying, so I can see the opposite shore nearby, but I guess I can see the opposite shore pretty far from the ground.

”I don't mind that, but what time can we get off?

”Cuoo.”

Liliera and Mohmov, who were flying in the sky when I held them, groaned.

”If I fly a little longer, I'll have a town, so I'm just a little impatient.”

”Ok...... as soon as possible”

”Cuoo.”

Mr. Liliera and Moffmoff don't seem to like flying in the sky after all.

There was quite a distance from Wang Du to the town of the Inner Ocean, so I decided to fly and travel in the sky.

Although Liliera and the others didn't like flying in the sky the same way.

I don't think it would be the same again if I could fly on my own, because it still seems impossible for the two of us.

◆

”Yes. Arrival.”

Technically, it's not about town yet, but getting off by the town will make a scene.

So we landed a little in front of town.

”Ha, the ground. Wow.”

”Cuoo.”

Liliera to the ground and Moffmoff to roll around and enjoy the feel of the ground.

”Shall we go into town then?”

”Oh, yeah. If you want to rest, I'd like to rest at the inn.”

When Liliera lifts her heavy hips, I hold a moff-moff, too.

And he stepped into the town of the inner ocean.

”Welcome to the town of Physio”

The gatekeeper speaks a welcome word.

”You can't have very good food right now, but in a few days, you'll be able to eat delicious monkeys, so bear with me.”

”What does that mean?

The gatekeeper's words caught my eye, and I ask why.

”Oh, did you and the others come unaware? As a matter of fact, the inner ocean is now occupied by troublesome demons, and that's why we can't get ships offshore.”

Heh, that was happening.

Oh, maybe that's why he's gathering the adventurers the guild leader was talking about?

”So now there's only so many ways to catch fish as to keep them off the coast.”

Speaking of sea delights, you're fishing offshore.

But wouldn't that be the place if it were occupied by demons?

”What do you say a few more days? You got something to take care of?

Liliera, who recovers from the fatigue of her empty journey, also joins the conversation.

”Oh, actually, the country's supposed to turn a newly built battleship into a demonic exorcism. If the Soviets defeat the demons, the fishermen will be able to go fishing offshore.”

”That's comforting.”

”Oh!”

A new battleship built by the country.

Must be so strong and big.

”The ship's departure is tomorrow. If you want to see it, you should go to the harbor.”

”Okay! Thanks!

When the gatekeeper told us what was going on, we went into town in search of accommodation.

”I'm so excited to see your new ship.”

”Really? I don't care.”

But Mr. Liliera didn't seem interested in the new battleship.

Uh, on second thought, I wonder if girls are interested in this sort of thing.
