180 Episode 180: Storm Landing (1/2)
Three days have passed since the pirate ship was remodeled to make its way to the East.
”I see land!
”Land!?”
When we hear we finally see land, we all go out on deck.
But across from the ship were all the seas, and I could see no land anywhere.
”Dude, where's the land?
”I can see it right.”
and I can hear voices from the watchtower above the mast.
”Do you see it if you go up there?
”Whoa! Up there!
Gyro, when you fly magically up there, everyone goes up next to it.
I also jump with physical strengthening magic and ride on top of a sail column.
Then I saw something stretching thin across the ship.
”Is that... a mountain?
Yes, at the end of the ocean, I could see the tip of a potpound and a mountain.
”I can only see the mountains without seeing the land.”
”Hey, that's the tallest mountain in the East, on Mount Amatsukami. Come on”
”” ”” ”” ”Mount Amatsukami?
When I went up over the ship with flying magic, I finally saw the whole thing.
”Wow. I can't see the land at all, but only the mountains can clearly tell”
That means that Mount Amatsukami is a very large mountain.
Maybe it's a good size to say mountain range.
”That's a hell of a size.”
”How big is that mountain alone?
Everyone is overwhelmed by the size of Mount Amatsukami.
”Anyway, it's finally land! I miss the ground!
Haha, because it was definitely on the boat the whole time. I'm used to shaking my body.
”Hmm? What?
and it was then.
A pirate watching the perimeter on a watchtower points to the nearby sky.
”Hey, look at me, it's a rain cloud”
When I saw it, dark clouds were approaching from across the sky.
”That distance would get us to land first. Even if you get caught in a storm before you get to the worst port, you can do it if you dock near land.”
The pirates are immediately discussing dealing with the storm.
It feels like the men of the sea are good and evil around here anyway.
”Well, with the speed of this ship now, we can get to land before the rain clouds come”
”So is that!
”” ”Ha-ha-ha” ”
Sure, you wouldn't have to worry about getting caught in the storm unless it wasn't so much trouble because the speed of this ship would allow you to travel faster than the rain clouds approaching.
I thought...
”Hey, that's crazy.”
The other pirates on the watchtower raise their voices in surprise as they look around.
”What's the matter?
”Rain clouds are approaching too fast. Besides, it was a blue sky earlier, but it's surrounded by clouds!
”Huh?”
True. The sky is becoming more and more cloudy when I notice it.
”And this cloud, it's getting darker and thicker.”
”What is this? I've never seen weather like this...”
The pirates are also baffled by this strange weather.
”I have a bad feeling! Hurry up, we're going to land!
”” ”” Hey, Captain!! ””
The sailors who perceived the danger moved fast.
But...
”What is the speed of that cloud spreading!?”
Cloud speeds spread faster than expected, wrapping the surrounding side with dark rain clouds.
”Shit. This wind...... it's gonna be a storm!!”
As the captain put it, the waves get a little higher and the ship starts to shake.
”Ah, storms come so suddenly!?”
When Mr. Liliera, who has no experience of storms, speaks out in confusion, the captain denies it as he defies the shake.
”Yes, no, I've never had such a strange storm. This can't be happening!
The ship has already been hit by considerable shaking and the pirates are struggling to work on the shaking deck.
”When this happens, you're lucky to have a wind fence on your deck with wind pressure control.”
Now if it had even been affected by the wind storm, the pirates would have been thrown out into the sea by now.
Besides, the fact that the strength of the hull has been increased by modification also plays a role.
You don't know what life can do for you.
”Husbands please go back to your room before the storm gets full!
The captain tells us to go back to his room with a serious face.
”Right. I'll leave you to your post and we'll be quiet.”
”Okay.”
Everyone returns to the ship honestly saying that there is nothing they can do with natural phenomena.
But then. A large wave struck and the ship swayed heavily.
”Whew!”
”Ahhh!?”
Everyone rolls over to a sudden big swing.
”If you can't see the view outside, you can't handle the looming waves.”
This really sounds like you should stay quiet in the room.
But things don't seem so easy, and new problems arise.
”Oh my God! There's a hole in the bottom of the ship with the current shake!
”What!?”
Oh, my God, if there's a hole in the boat, the water will come in!
”You shouldn't! We need to help fix this right away!
When we got to the bottom of the ship, the ship looked awful.
There are already a number of holes in the bottom of the ship, and the pirates are desperate to make repairs, but they are very untouched.
”What to do, brother!?”
”First, you magically block the hole! Freezing Cube!”
Freeze the water flowing in with ice magic.
”So much so that freezing sea water prevents water from entering! Then we can do it too!
Liliera and Mina, who saw my way, freeze the other holes with the same ice magic.
”Ugh...”
”Are you all right? God, a healing miracle. Healing.”
Mr. Norb is healing and treating wounded pirates.
”Shh, excuse me”
”I just blocked it temporarily, so do your repairs now”
”Wow, I get it!
But you did. I also increased the strength when modifying the hull, but on top of the low strength of the original material, this ship itself is not very well built, so depending on the strength of the storm, the ship may not hold it.
”Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!
”Wow! There's a hole over here!
No, there seems to be a problem elsewhere.
”If we don't protect the ship from the waves, we're not going to fix it.”
As soon as I get out to the deck, I'll check my surroundings.
The storm is getting pretty strong, and the pirates are holding onto it and stomping to avoid being thrown off the ship.
”Yes, sir! It's dangerous, please go back inside!
He tells me to go back while the captain grabs the rope tied to the sail column.
