Vol 10 Chapter 168 (2/2)

“I-is that alright!?”

To a surprised sailor, Vera spoke

“If our attacks won’t reach, there’s no point at all And with the cannons, ti with that adventurer’s words”

The sailor was surprised once more

“A-are you sure it’s alright to leave that much to him?”

“I’ll take responsibility! So why don’t we teach that three headed h people on the motion hearth Hurry and send some support!”

“Y-yes!”

Sending out order after order, Vera verified the ie in her head once more

(I can see it The movements of people And I can even hear some voices)

『God fing dammit!! Only mine was a few milliseconds shorter than the others!!』

『Monica, shut up! I’h! Hack!』

『Oh ain Didn’t you say it’d be fine as long as you could see?』

『Clara, you haven’t said anything for a while Are you fantasizing over soain?』

『… Aria-san, I’m not the only one who felt like a pure maiden when he kissed me, was I?』

『It’s hot! It’s really hot here! They’re pouring ! Because of that, it’s really hot!』

『Eva, you quiet down too! Out here, it’s freezing, and wet!』

『Lyle-saotten the information you needed?』

『Got them from Clara’s Skill without a problem I’ve found out that I have absolutely no idea what sort of attack it’ll make It’s a massive harvest!』

The voices Vera heard in her head were loud, and she held her hand against it

At the bridge, the sailors hurriedly gave their reports And Vera transmitted them to Lyle

『Preparations ready over here Can I leave firing the cannon to you?』

There, Lyle gave a response

『Leave it to me If we don’t e’ve no future… how did that line come out?』

『As expected of Lyle-sama』

『Do your job properly! Why are you so laid back!? There’s a giant ht before your eyes! Why did you have to co… you’re a nuisance!』

On the words of the girl called Shannon, Lyle…

『I do think I’ it more than usual, you know? See, my aura is simply different from a normal humans, so it’s quite a trial to contain it Even if I s, I do believe in all of you As I thought, this must be a talent I’ve been born with』

Vera began to becoot the feeling she heard the voices of some other males

『No doubt about it This has got to be a talent』

『Right Finding a man of this caliber isn’t too easy…』

『Hey, think we’ll get anything better than, I can make even a Goddess fall for me?』

『It’s only just begun, has it not Oh, we’ve connected to a strange line… ah』

The voices suddenly cut off, and Vera shook her head a number of time The voices she heard wereto Lyle, but a wide array ofthose voices in their early thirties, it sounded as if they were actually enjoying the present situation

(… Seriously, what?)

As Vera thought that, the shi+p moved, and approached Tressy

“Milady! We’ve got it in the range of the cannons!”

“Don’t fire yet! Wait for the order!”

(Kuh, I don’t have the leisure to think over it now)

As Vera concentrated on Tressy, the voices resounding through her head gradually began to turn serious But Lyle alone was…

『Ah, a catchphrase! Don’t you think I need a catchphrase! Dammit, I wasn’t able to say the usual, ‘let’s have fun with it’…』

Still on cloud nine…

On top of the deck, I stood around the center with Monica to my side

The metallic blunt weapon we had once recovered from a boss in Arumsaas Monica had repaired it, and turned it into a cannon

Taking a stance with the cannon that didn’t match her small and slender body, Monica spoke to me

“This weapon is incomplete And it hasn’t even been test fired Our a shells, two explosive ones I can calibrate it after the first shot, but we’re in a storm The distance considered, please think of our chances of landing a hit to be considerably low”

As she held up that unperfected cannon, I spoke to her

“It’s antly, we’ll have to show him we’re just a bit serious”

Monica tilted her head

“Are you certain you wish to anger it?”

I looked down the barrel twice Monica’s height, as I replied

“If we see we can’t inflict a severe wound with that, we’ll just have to move on to the next means In that case, it would be easier to defeat it if it ca at it too”

I took the Jewel in my left hand, removed it from e bow The longbow had a length that exceededin Mana, a pale blue light spanned it, and formed a thread

“I’ it?”

There, Monica spoke

“Please don’t underestimate me If it’s only to land a blow, it’s an easy task Our scales of precision are different But are you sure you won’t ai it’s quite clearly its weak point”

In regards to her, I…

“We can’t have that crown fly away on us Well, it’s best if it doesn’t… I’ll take the center head”

Saying that, I drew back the bow, and an arrow of light began to take shape What was initially light in the vague shape of an arroly recreated an arrow’s shape down to its finer details

After taking enough time to set my aim…

“Don’t sink from this”

I shot the arrow That pale blue arro straight at the right head, and landed on the mark, and the enemy seemed to take notice of it, as it moved its head

But…

“Ar up Please cover your hears, and open your mouth”

I followed Monica’s orders, as the cannon breather fires, and Monica endured its irated, and the entire shi+p shook alongside it

Water spray hit the gun barrel, and evaporated to coat it in white smoke

In my head, I could hear Vera’s voice

『Wait a minute! It’ssuch a weapon around, then you should’ve just said it!』

But as I took my hands from my ears, I looked at the left head the shell had hit There wasn’t a doubt ht one either

The smoke cleared, and perhaps the head that’d been hit had flown into a rage, as it pointed itself at the sky, and let out a roar The intense vibrations of the air could even be felt where we stood

The an to pick up speed

The middle head opened its an to form, and expand I could confirm it with Skills

Using the inforh Shannon’s demon eyes, and…

What I gained from the Second’s, and Sixth’s Skill, my conclusion was…

“If it hits, we’ll be blown to sood”

Monica looked at my face

“Despite that, you see some fun”

“It’s simple We just don’t let it hit Novem, Miranda, deploy it on my orders And fire the starboard cannons on my order Vera-san please increase the shi+p’s speed It’s fine if we get closer”

My Skill… the Conection link related responses from Novem, Miranda and Aria

『The preparations are complete』

『Don’t let it hit… you make it sound so easy』

『Ready anytime』

Vera-san

『If you’re going to give orders, give them sooner We can’t make sudden movements!』

Tressy’s center head opened its ic It was distant, and I could make out its movements quite clearly, but as it ca up speed

I swung ht hand to the side

“Deploy Magic shi+eld!”

Noveic, and for only an instant, a thick wall of Mana protected the shi+p

What’s more, it was oval shaped, and with the increase in the boat’s speed, ere able to slip the vessel out of its impact trajectory The Mana mass that strayed from the shi+p hit the sea’s surface in the distance, and raised a large pillar of water

Monica looked at it

“Truly, one hit of that would have blown us away”

I protruded ht hand out forward

“Fire!!”

The cannons on the starboard side blew fire all at once, and I used the Select Skill

I set my aim on the heads on both side, and adjusted their speed so they’d collide, but when they hit, I saw Tressy’s forht

Monica gave a level-headed analysis

“It’s covering its body with that y called Mana Of that attack, a vast majority of it never reached the main body Mine and your attacks hadclosely, it does seem those heads do have wounds from our attacks”

“I see Then I’lad we didn’t aim for the center one”

Hearing that, I looked at Tressy It was glaring at us with its red eyes, and the whirlpool had grown stronger still

“If it’s grown serious, then so be it Will it approach, or continue attacking at a distance…”

Monica spoke

“It looked like it’s closing it You have successfully angered the beast”

I pulled the boith a smile I increased the nuher As Tressy began to ht rained down on hiht protected hi decisive

There, he dived into the water

Monica spoke

“The whirlpool has ceased It seems it has to stay still for it to occur”

I gave orders to Vera-san

“The whirlpool has stopped Please go right into running from Tressy”

『Don’t make it sound so easy! Ah, God! Port! Port!』

The boat slowly turned its course to the left, and with the speed we’d built up, Tressy was stuck chasing us

“Now then, should we aim for when it surfaces?”

Me and Monica held up our bow and cannon, and I aimed at the water front, and fired an arrow Immediately afterwards, I covered my ears, opened my mouth, and Monica fired the cannon

Two pillars of water

Tressy’ssome distance to the shi+p

From the Jewel

『Huh? Is it really just going to croak like this?』

『No, Tressy should be able to get more serious than that』

『But what a tough one… aren’t we at a disadvantage here? Monica’s cannon has five rounds left』

『But when it’s that big, it sure has so to take it back, you’ll have to decide on a piece… in that case, the 』

Monica set the next shell, and Tressy’s head… when a face other than the center surfaced, it began gathering pale blue light in its mouth

Letting out a sigh, I quickly pulled the bow, and fired

“The saain… and too slow!”

My arrow hit the lights in its ic damave on itself It fell back into the water, and its et itself together underwater

“Hahaha, give chase!”

On my words, Monica also…

“Understood”

She held up her cannon, and turned it towards the water Setting her aiain

The distance was getting too great, so I told Vera-san to drop our speed

“Could you lower our speed?”

『Understood More importantly, couldn’t we just run away like this?』

“Eh?”

『Eh?』

To Vera-san, who’d chosen the option of running away, I…

“We can win, so don’t sweat it And wait, if I don’t bring back so here, my financial situation will be thrown into quite a mess, so…”

There, Monica set the next shell, and addressed me

“It seeed it”

When I turned my eyes to Tressy, the center head showed itself from the water’s surface, and bit at the other ones It sunk its teeth in, and tore off one of its flailing heads, and after so with the other one, it tried to discard it as well

“… Okay, fire”

Tressy had waited for us But we didn’t have to wait in return He wasto open it

“I, Monica, love it when you’re so vicious, Chicken dickwad Let’s go righ at it”

“I also love you I love you, Monica”

“…! What was that!? Daaaaain with a refreshi+ng smile!”

“Hahaha, you won’t get it from me so easily Now then, on to the next shot Once it’s done, I’ll give you as oes for everyone!”

『Take this seriously!! You’re definitely an idiot! Hey!!』

I smiled at Shannon, as she shouted out in protest atop the deck May was protecting her, and she was keeping her demon eyes locked on Tressy

“But before I shower you with love, we’ll have to collect the ic stones”

“I-I must hurry! The clock is…! I must put an end to all this before the Chicken dickwad’s Fever Time ends!”

As Tressy was fighting with the heads of its body, we mercilessly poured our attacks onto it
