“You really are an interesting hu to the ocean’s depths, so ent ahead and retrieved it Its purity is high, so I’m sure it’ll sell for quite an amount Now then, this ice will hold up a while It’ll probablyout of your shi+p, though”
I looked at the large Magic Stone in my hand I hadn’t seen one of this size since the fortieth floor’s boss… since Arumsaas
The Fourth called out
『… So in the end, on’t learn which Walt It’s bothering me quite a bit』
And as the wo words
“Ah, but if you really want to know, just look it up in a book It was quite a famous tale at the time, so I’m sure you can at least find the naht and defeated the beautiful vixen… who fought to defeat Agrissa I’eable, but it was really famous back then”
Hearing that name, I held up my left hand
“Wait a sec…”
But right after, I saw the large white tail of a whale raise up high, as she dived deep into the sea

The rainclouds parted, and the sea was died a shade of orange
From the disassembled head of Tressy… I took the crown, and put it away in the Seventh’s box
“We’re rich! We’re rich!”
When I was shouting out in joy, Shannon looked at me with a worn-out expression
“Shut it, idiot! How many times do you think I’ve almost died because of you!?”
I looked at Shannon, and took a guess at the reason she was angry at me
“What, so you wanted me to shower you with love? Cory”
The Seventh held back sohter, as he spoke
『W-wro… I don’t think that’s the case, Lyle』
The happy ancestors were a bit doubtful this time They were better behaved than usual, and it was extre
Shannon shouted
“Don’t screitheach and every one of the you’ve done will just be overlooked!? Don’t think everyone is so easy, idiot Lyle!”
I suppressed a laugh
“It’s best you don’t deny it so strongly You’re looking unnecessarily easier, Shaneasy”
There, she snapped, began flailing her arms about, and commenced her attack I used my left hand to hold her head back
“Who the hell is Shaneasy, dammit!”
“Oh,so cute, I couldn’t help but tease you You’re cute, Shannon”
“Why are you… you bastard!”
As Shannon needlessly flailed around, the ones atop the deck smiled and watched, and there, Vera-san came out
“We’ve finished dealing with the Sahuagins that infiltrated the shi+p We’ve also done the te to depart, but are there any problems?”
There, Aria responded
“Ah, no problems on our side, so do whatever you want And it’s about the reward, but… since you cancelled it…”
Vera-san shook her head
“You did your job splendidly To such an extent I’d give a bonus from my own pocket Well then, we’re off”
Taking my hand from Shannon, I approached Vera-san with a serious face
“No, there’s still an important matter to take care of”
“W-what is it? And wait, why are you so serious…”
I came closer, as she took some distance, took her hand, and pulled her closer
“That last kiss was a necessity, and didn’t count to anything Give me your first kiss Become mine, Vera”
Vera-san’s face stiffened, and the surroundings Sailors looking on…
“He fearlessly talked with the divine beast, so he’s got souts”
“No, but for the Lady, it’ll have to be a man of at least his caliber”
“But that would ht?”
They were relatively affirmative It seems they’ve finally noticed my worth
“Now, could I hear your answer?”
I could hear some fed-up voices around
Having changed out of her sweaty clothes, Eva looked at me
“… He’s boldly doing it in front of all of us…”
I grandly turned to her, and pointed my thumb at myself
“It’s not my taste to beat around the bush with love!”
When I said that, the Third burst into laughter
『No, I think you’re irls, you can’t just confess to other women!』
The Fourth was the sa his sto
『Even when you can’t even confess in your normal state!』
Making a wry s even fro candidate
(There’s no fault in my eyes Vera is a woman worthy of me!)
Distancing herself fro pose
“Very well After you’ve done soit But… let’s have a match”
“Match? Even if I may lose for the sake of victory, I, Lyle am a man who shall alin in the end Will you still takethat?”
When I flipped ave an order to one of the sailors
“We had that strong ale and those glasses with us, didn’t we? Could you bring them over?”
The sailors…
“Ah~ that one… but I don’t think boss Lyle knows about it”
“That’s precisely why it’s ait”
Before I knew it, the sailors were already calling me their boss
“Now then, what should I do about the match…”

On top of the deck that had undergone temporary repairs, with an illuminated table between us, I stood across from Vera
On it was a wine glass that looked like a large, round plate, with a sturdy foundation under it It was a glass I’d not seen much of in Bahnsein land
Vera had prepared that cup, and a cask
“If you can drink down one hundred of these cups, I don’tyou Well, even even if you fail, I’ll pay the reward, so don’t worry too much”
The surrounding crewat me, and Novem and the others seemed worried
The cask contained solass contained quite an amount
There, the Fourth spoke interestedly
『Yeah, this is that… she’s not a dull one If you think about it, one hundred of those is impossible Push yourself, and you’ll ruin your body』
The Seventh as well
『… This girl is testing Lyle Now then, how about we bring an end to it I don’t want to da over the cup』
If you flipped the cup over, the small indent in its foundation would only hold a small bit of drink
Vera’s eyes narrowed, and the surrounding sailors whistled
“So he knew about them?”
“Well, think over it a bit, and you’ll notice, I guess”
“Does this e’s been decided?”
Vera let out a light sigh
“I see it’s my loss”
But I…
“What are you talking about!? I’ve yet to drink a hundred glasses Say it as you watch me drink down your drink I’m sure it’ll be a blast”
Saying that, I opened the tap, and filled the cup’s s the small bit of ale to my mouth, I…
“Ofwooh…”
Collapsed
“… Eh?”
Vera wasan expression of shock Novem rushed over to me
“Lyle-sama, come to think of it, up to now, have you ever drunken ale before…”
Miranda looked at me
“… He hasn’t He always ordered water or tea”
Aria hit her hand to her forehead
“There’s really no helping you, is there…”
Clara
“… It’s nice that you noticed it and all But no matter how you look at it, you failed”
Eva touched her hand to her hed
“You’re weak to alcohol? That’s kinda cute”
May looked over me
“Your face is bright red After talking so big, for you to lose…”
Monica immediately prepared water, and had me drink it
“Even if you’re useless against ale, the Chicken dickwad is my precious uarantee I’ll store it in my databanks for all eternity”
And finally, Shannon pointed at me
“How uncool!”
She said, as she laughed to herself The ancestors as well
『So that’s the end of it? What? His Fever Time ends here?』
『Quite a bit came out this time Personally, perhaps it’s ‘It’s not my taste to beat around the bush with love!’ for me?』
『Isn’t it, ‘I’et even a Goddess to fall for me’?』
『His landing malfunction in front of the divine beast wasn’t bad either Fifth, you didn’t react too much to the divine beasts this time, did you』
On the Seventh’s question, the Fifth
『When they’re that big, it’s not even a question of whether they’re cute or not I can’t dote on theer than the shi+p』
I heard a voice like that
(T-this can’t be… this is only a step on the road to victo…)
