68 Episode 68 Reunion, Lord of Floating Ships (1/2)

After that, after receiving the ship Bahamut threw at us, we decided to return to the empty island.

Because to ensure the safety of the sailors who would be in the protected ship.

To make sure the sailors on this battleship, the Goodluther, are safe.

Fortunately, Bahamut just threw a boat at me and didn't look like he was going to chase this one.

It was probably intimidating to throw a ship at me, too.

However, if Bahamut, which I know, was a bit of a clap out because he hasn't hesitated to chase me at a time like this.

And for that reason, we are fortunate enough to drop the Goodluther on an empty island and enter the ship.

”Are you all right?!?”

The ship was lit with magic lights, and the situation inside could be confirmed, albeit dim.

Dishes, tools, etc. were scattered all over the ship, as if they had encountered a major cloud.

Fortunately, the chairs and desks were fixed to the floor, so that didn't seem like something that would get the injured out.

”Who...”

A familiar voice was heard from behind the ship.

The voice was stiff and a strong vigilance was felt.

”It's me, it's Lex, Mr. Byrne!

”... Rex, you say!?”

Mr. Byrne showed up as he made a noise of hitting or kicking something with a gatando tan from behind the ship.

You hit it somewhere, scratches everywhere.

”Oh. aren't you really a boy!?”

Mr. Byrne gives a happy voice.

”It's been a while. Is everyone else all right?

”Oh, I managed to be safe! Well, if I suddenly thought the ship rocked so badly, now I was wondering what happened because it was suddenly quiet, but what if you helped us!?”

”Well, is that what happens?”

”Ooh! Still?”

When Mr. Byrne speaks loudly of joy, he speaks toward the back of the ship.

”Pleasure, gentlemen! Less... Rex, you rescued us!

”... Rex?

”Lex?

Little by little, the sailors begin to see their faces from behind the ship.

”It's true, it's Lex.”

”Did we really help that Lex was here?”

”Naturally! It's that Rex!

”Isn't that right!? Lex would be one shot at a demon like that!

Wait, did you just overestimate something about me or do you not recognize it in a weird way?

But I'm sorry to water the sailors' delights, so I dare to swallow those words.

”Mr. Rex!

Turning from behind the ship to the voice calling me anew, there was an unexpected figure there.

”Mr. Meilene?

How dare you stay there was Mr. Mailene from the seaside country.

”Why would Mr. Meilene?

Is that it? Mr. Byrne and Mr. Mailene are people from another country.

And yet, why are you even on this ship to Mr. Mailene?

”Lord Rex, what's going on inside?

And I hear Mr. Carm from the outside.

You shouldn't, you have to explain the situation to them, too.

”Let's just go outside. You'll also need to treat the injured.”

◆

”Area heels!

I treat the wounded gathered in one place with a range healing magic.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, so I'm glad it was just an easy treatment.

”No, it's Lord Rex to recover a dozen wounded in an instant.”

With that said, the vice president comes to say thank you.

”No, it's easy range recovery magic.”

”No, such restorative magic is my first ear...”

With a sweat on his forehead, the vice president says that.

Church of the Inner Ocean. So no one can use range restoration magic?

Well, a cleric who thinks about fattening his personal belly doesn't keep his magic training busy, so maybe he can't help it either.

”If it's a big church in Wangdu, some people can use range restoration magic, right?

”Yes...... is it?

The deputy director frowned and feels half-hearted, but there are usually plenty of people who can use range recovery magic.

”... What Lord Rex calls the King's Capital, if any, the King's Capital of the Holy Land? Indeed, in that country, where the Virgin is present, there will be monks who can use the same great magic...”

The deputy chief started thinking with a bump, so I headed down to Mr. Carm and Mr. Byrne, who are discussing it.

”Thank you for accepting us this time.”

”It was originally decided to capture intruders into our country for whatever reason, but if your lords are friends with Lord Rex, we would welcome them.”

”I appreciate that. Less... thank you for your guidance, Lord Rex.”

”Yeah, absolutely.”

He usually calls me Mr. Byrne, a boy, but in times like this, he calls me by my proper name.

But why is my name in the conversation anyway?

”By the way, where is the Holy Sky Kingdom Seraphium? I had no idea where I was flying because that giant demon rushed me aboard when I was taken to the sky.”

Uh, sure, if you're not hiding in the ship, you don't know when you're gonna be upside down on the ground.

What's more, the place in this country is more surprising than Mr. Byrne thinks, isn't it?

”Mr. Byrne, this country is one above the plains just south of the seaside country.”

”On the countries of the South? I mean, a little more than north, right?

I'm sure Mr. Byrne thinks of geography near the inner ocean in his brain, but it's a little different.

It's not on the plane drawn on the map, is it?

”No, not on the map, literally on the sky”

”On the sky?

Tilt your neck to see what Mr. Byrne means.

”This is an empty island, an island that floats above the sky.”

……

What's Mr. Byrne talking about? He just looks at me with his eyes.

”No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It can't be that the island floats above the sky.”

Well, I was willing to be told this from the reaction you had when you were Liliera.

It seems that these days people don't really want to know anything other than where they live.

If you do a little research, you'll get as much information on the land outside as you can.

Although the ex-Refugee Carm's can't help it, isn't it bad to be oblivious to information outside until the Byrnes, who have long been a family of knights?

”Mr. Byrne, and the sailors, please come here.”

At times like this, it's faster to show the real thing than to explain.

I'm taking everyone on the Good Luther to the edge of the empty island.

”Watch your step and look down. Oh, don't get too close to the edge!

Mr. Byrne and the others look down.

What was this at first? So, it was the face that gradually changed the look on everyone's face when they blued or rounded their eyes.

”Shit, boy!? What the hell is this?!?”

Yeah, yeah, looks like we all figured out where we put ourselves.

”As I said earlier, this is an island floating in the sky called an empty island. You've all been transported to this island by Bahamut.”

”Sky... Island...”

◆

”After the boy left, we were to discuss the treatment of the demon.”

Though Mr. Byrne was shocked to learn that they had been brought to the sky, putting some time aside allowed him to calm down a little bit and tell his story.

”There was intense rhetorical strife between us, who started the Kraken case and captured the demon, and the two countries, who claimed that the demon was in their own hands because it was a case that happened in their own country. As a result, the demon's identity was taken over by both countries to extract information.”

So, is it true that Mr. Mailene was accompanying him as a messenger from a seaside country?

”But when we were carrying the devil by boat, that giant demon suddenly attacked us, and we were taken away from every ship to the sky. We fled aboard in a hurry to avoid being dropped on the ground, but at that point the devil fled us.”

”The magically sealed demon escaped!?”

That's crazy. There is no way that the demon man who was placed under arrest could escape on his own.

And that reminds me of Bahamut, who grabbed Mr. Byrne and the others by boat.
