284 – Waiting for something new
In the middle of a vast ocean with no end in sight.
A mana ship was speeding up to the point where its engine exploded.
“How long have you been here?”
“If we substitute the previous route conditions, we are now over the two-thirds point.”
It was truly a tremendous sailing speed.
It took much longer than this when we left the port on the mainland.
The reason is simple. All the mana stones were invested entirely in sailing.
Unlike before, there was no time to think about spare time.
I didn’t even consider the magic stone that would be used in a possible battle.
The important thing for them right now is the day. No, even an hour sooner.
It is about reaching the mainland and talking about what they have seen and experienced.
And I had to create what the monster wanted.
‘If it’s impossible, I should at least prepare to make it.’
‘It’s scary to even imagine. How could they blow up half the port with one gesture?’
‘They are cruel! The moment I reach the mainland, there will definitely be a carnage!’
‘The country that fought against them could use this as an excuse to invade!’
Perhaps Jon Nassen and Empire would each scream what bullshit they were talking about.

John Nassen would be offended saying, ‘Do you think I’m going to harm even the weak?’
A situation in which the Empire will say that it has no intention of crossing the sea and does not want to fight John Nassen again.
“Can’t you go faster? As far as I know there are still extra mana stones.”
Although more than half of them are said to have been damaged due to too much exposure to seawater.
Still, there were more things that could be used than things that could not be used.
“That is true, but if the engine is damaged, it will be difficult.”
“Mmm.”
“However, there are many left in the New World before sailing, so this is it. If they were all on board, they wouldn’t have even passed the halfway mark yet because of their weight.”
It was a terrible word to think about. Not even halfway through.
I have to go back soon and warn you!
“How about this method instead?”
A lieutenant holds out something he was holding.
At that, the fleet commander let out a sigh.
“That… Well. On the contrary, it could be for nothing.”
What the adjutant held out was a magical power communicator.
In exchange for its excellent communication distance, it devours mana stones relentlessly.
The rule is not to use it unless it is really an emergency.
Above all, it was a problem because communication wasn’t 100 percent if the distance was too far.
“Even if we are still far from our home country, it is too far. If you use it in a situation where you only have mana stones that are only used for sailing and then make a mistake, you won’t be able to maintain your current speed.”
“But the engine is in poor condition. If you have to slow down anyway, even considering the engine, it might be better to slow down a bit and save your mana stones and use them here.”
This is an opinion that would normally have been dismissed as unreasonable.
It is a disgrace for sailors to give up on faster voyages.
But this was not an ordinary situation.
A literal emergency. It was safe to say that it was almost a national disaster.
“… Come to me.”
In the end, the commander who couldn’t help but accept the magic communication device.
After that, the adjutant quickly ran down and brought the magic stones in the best condition.
However, the mana communicator showed no signs of working.
Anyway, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with the magic stone he brought.
“Looks like you can’t catch it at this level.”
“How is it?”
“I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t used the mana stone, but I can’t be bitten now. Go get some more.”
At the words of the commander, the adjutant runs back to the magic stone storage.
After that, I brought the mana stone with me in a big pouch.
“This is the limit. It’s breathtaking considering the voyage margin.”
“Please, this time I hope we can reach you.”
The commander bit his lip and activated the communicator once again.
How long did the silence filled with tension and nervousness last?
Diring-!
Finally, the magic communicator on the mainland side confirmed this request.
“I got it!”
“Come on, come on, start with the transmission password! We need to tell you as much as possible before we run out of magic!”
“Yes! I’ll tell you the password. The outgoing password is ‘Francer rides a goat to the east, picks a flower, and falls off a cliff.’ Afterwards, the receiving code reads, “As the dead celebrate, rabbits dance and sparks fly.” Did you check?”
“… It became. Both sides confirmed.”
They must have made their identities clear, so the commander urgently informed the home country of the current news.
I arrived in the New Continent in pursuit of those who were tracking the refugees.
There, I encountered huge and overwhelming beings that I could not dare to resist.
They block magic cannons lightly and treat even airmen too lightly.
Even the empire there is a superpower that has fought against those monsters for years.
“… It is predicted that even defense will be difficult with the current power of the home country, and some of them will already head to the home country to make demands. It is necessary to prepare for this. Defense is the worst, so it’s better to listen to the requirements, and the requirements are sent later….”
Before the mana stones lose their power and turn into stones, we must send even a little more information.
The Commander put the words in like crazy and relayed the news to his home country.
Now we have to wait for the response from the home country. At least there should be confirmation that it was received.
The amount of mana is breathtaking. Hurry up, I have to confirm it quickly to feel relieved….
Diring!-
“Receipt from home country!”
“Quickly! What, what did you send? Did you only receive it once? Or did you see the contents?”
“You have to wait a moment. It’s not coming right away… Ah! Reception complete!”
At the words of the adjutant, the commander and those around him hurriedly gathered.
This is an important moment. If you prepare in advance in your home country, you can rest assured.
The people of the empire said that monsters keep their promises.
If that’s true, then the home country can be guaranteed safety like the empire….
[ I received your nonsensical bullshit well. So that I can return soon. The rest of the novel will be listened to later in the interrogation room. I hope you don’t think nonsense. Your family members will go into house arrest right thereafter. ]
“….”
“….”
“… ….”
Everyone who had been holding on to a bit of hope turned into a dejected expression.
Originally, the fact that their home country would consider them traitors and arrest them.
And I was devastated by the news that my family had been taken hostage.
Rather than that, only one scene filled their heads now.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!!-
The image of a man who wiped out half of a huge port with a single gesture.
“… Please.”
Please, my God. Please let the monster come a little later.
Please wait until we return to our country and explain the situation.
Everyone who was busy returning home prayed so fervently.

“Saint?”
“….”
“Holy Lady!”
“Oh, yes! Brother Kyle. Did you call?”
“You look dazed from earlier. Is there something wrong?”
The saintess thought about something at Kyle’s question and shook her head.
“That’s not true. Just… I did it because I felt like I was praying to God somewhere.”
Pray. Someone somewhere in the empire seems very desperate.
Kyle grabbed the hand of the saintess, hoping that his prayer would come true.
“Let’s go first. I think we will be leaving soon.”
“Are you ready yet?”
“There is no such thing as preparation. Brother and sister are already ready, and the only thing left is the situation of the point where the runway will be made and the location of the island after that, right?”
If there is no island to speak of, it will jump into the sea.
After that, most sailboats will speed up to the point where they say, “It’s slow.”
No matter how leisurely you go… I wonder if it will be gone in ten days.
“I am the youngest.”
Lear quietly calls her Kyle.
Looks like the time to leave is getting closer.
“I’ll be back for a while.”
Leave the women behind, and immediately run in front of my brother and sister.
“You want to go now?”
“That’s right. The people here also said that the preparations were over, and the location of the islands was also delivered.”
Looking around, the ground seemed to have been compacted as hard as possible.
And even built a barrier around it to prepare for the aftermath.
Likely, really thorough preparation. When Lear and Leah warned him, he faithfully followed them.
“This is all thanks to you, the youngest.”
“What did I do?”
“Don’t you know, Kyle? Since you were there last time, people here listen to everything we John Nasen says!”
It was Kyle who just let out a dry cough.
Swim in, catch a wave catcher, and return to swimming.
On the way, they even brought all the roiders trained on the boat.
At that time, I was just angry and committed it.
Now that I think about it, even if I went crazy, it was pretty crazy.
“Anyway, let’s go. Don’t wait for me to come Look at your business.”
“Eh? I want Kyle to meet us when we come, brother?”
Sister. My older sister and older brother come out to meet me knowing when they are coming.
Then I have to wait here endlessly.
“Even the youngest should spend some time with the sisters.”
“Ah, aha. I see. Um, are you suddenly jealous?!”
He’s the little brother I’ve been pampering! I feel like I’m being taken away!
Lear sighed, probably because of Leah speaking in a playful way.
“I need to say hello to the jesu-ssi too.”
“Then I will go and get it for you.”
“Just tell them to come this way, maknae, stay away.”
“Eh?”
“I have something to tell you.”
*
What the hell are you talking about?
Lear said something, and Leah gave a supplementary explanation from the side.
Tisha and Elgar, the saint and the princess, all listened very carefully to what the siblings said.
How much time has passed?
“Kyle!”
Elgar calls Kyle. After the story, she seemed about to leave.
“I’ll be back.”
“Have a good trip, brother. Sister.”
“Yes! I’ll have a good trip! I’ll see my sister-in-law in a month!”
After greeting, the two siblings head to the wide empty lot ahead.
And after a while.
