151 – Sinking Ships Have Holes #2
I went to the banquet room first and informed the people of the engine room.
“A problem occurred in the first engine room. There is a high probability that the ship will soon sink because the engines are overloaded with mana and cannot be stopped.”
The banquet hall buzzes in an instant.
Soon Nike raised his hand and shouted.
“Victor doesn’t lie with these words! Mo, everyone, calmly put on life jackets and move to the boat—”
It seemed like he was trying his best in many ways, but Nike was a shy person from the beginning.
Nike’s cheerful yet small voice is soon buried in the buzz of people.
“The ship is sinking! What are you talking about!”
“How much cargo am I loading on this ship!”
“Everybody stay calm… .”
Nike was restless.

Just when I wondered if I should say one more word, someone clapped loudly.
match.
It was not an ordinary applause, but a loud sound, as if a needle had been pricked by a large balloon.
Everyone’s eyes turned towards it.
Victoriaka brushed off her palms and said.
“This is not the time to be like this. My name is Victoria Arclight, the current student president of Ludens. From now on, we will try to escape one by one, starting with children and the elderly.”
From a young age, Victoria was a person who gave instructions to others on a daily basis.
Perhaps because of that, Victoria’s voice had a calming power, and people’s chatter gradually diminished.
“If you are the student council president of Ludens… .”
“Yeah, this is not the time to be like this. If the ship sinks, you have to survive first!”
Many people began to leave the banquet hall in an orderly manner.
Cristina, who was observing this situation, asked Jin, who was guiding people by her side.
“Jin, what is the probability that this ship will sink?”
“Defects in engine room No. 1. Huge explosive potential 80 percent. The probability of sinking when the explosion occurred is approximately 97% when reviewing various sources.”
I don’t know how the hell you get those numbers.
It’s not like he’s making up words without a loser.
I also asked Jin.
“How long do you think it will be before the engine room explodes? There is an island in this vicinity. I want to be able to get as far as possible.”
“… … .”

Jin didn’t answer my question.
I don’t think he was ignoring me, and it seemed difficult to calculate how long it would take for this guy to explode.
“… Time.”
The boy raised his glasses and moved his gaze.
What he sees is Milone, a first-year junior with flowing blonde hair.
“Milone, I want you to cooperate with the calculation.”
Then, Milone, who was carrying her luggage in both hands, frowned and trembled.
“Sir, I don’t like it… ! When I was having a hard time, Jin-senpai didn’t even help me… !”
For Milone, who was about to marry a bald man, it is unknown if Christina’s faction and strife still remain deep.
But a clear crisis situation.
In this crisis situation, anyone who puts personal sensibility first is eliminated as an executive of the student council.
I scolded my junior Milone in a stern voice.
“Milon, the situation is urgent.”
Milone glanced at me and said, “… Only this time.” He nodded reluctantly.
Soon, Milone and Jean started talking about something.
“We need to calculate the wave height and wind speed.”
“Then the number goes well over eight digits, but well, no problem.”
Big figures seemed to be mentioned, but Milone finally gave the answer to the calculations.
“About 10 minutes. It is time for this ship to go to that island.”
“To be exact, 623 seconds.”
Is it 623 seconds?
There was only that much time left before sinking.
At least there were a lot of student council executives and teachers on board, so there was less panic on site than I thought.
“Clarice, get on the lifeboat.”
“But what about you?”
“I am the principal. I have a duty to guide students and teachers. So, you foolish Viktor, it must be certain that the ship will sink, right?”
“It is certainly.”
People who were so confused get on the lifeboat.
Koo Woo-.
Finally, a great shaking came over the ship.
Did the engine room explode?

Quarleung-.
A violent storm.
sinking ship.
A situation where everything is desperate.
Still, I wondered if I had done enough to be satisfied with this.
Finally, the hull tilted significantly—
After some time the ship sank.
* * *
Everything was shaken by a fierce typhoon.
The small lifeboat was no different from a raft in a typhoon in front of a storm so strong that the cruise ship was shaken.
Eventually, the lifeboat I was on capsized.
“… … !”
As the cold seawater touched my body, I felt goosebumps.
I mentioned something when I went to Bikini Island not too long ago, but I’m really really bad at swimming.
The sound of many people clamoring.
I was distracted by the feel of the sea water lapping here and there.
“after-.”
I try to focus on my five senses as much as possible to catch my spirit.
“———dot—”
What I hear in my ears is strange… .
“It is to cause splashes. Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot… !”
… A strange singing voice?
Who is singing in this storm?
Rather, this song had a strangely familiar corner.
where did you hear it?
I was very interested, but my eyes were flickering as if lights were on, and I was completely distracted.
Then, when I finally felt the strange scent of peaches, I was able to open my eyes.
“Do—nothing. I really can’t help it—but I’ll try artificial-suction on Big-. I lost at scissors-bo. I hate it—I can’t help it.”
“Victory—Ms., if you don’t like it—I’ll do it—”
Hearing gradually returns.
“No, Mokey Mokey. rules are rules Since I lost in rock-paper-scissors, I had no choice but to do artificial respiration. You know there’s no emotion here then… .”
What artificial respiration.
softly.
I could feel the silver hair tickling my face.
Soon, I saw muuu and pursed lips approaching my face.
“what?”
I pushed those lips out with the palm of my hand. Then, wasn’t Victorica startled saying, “Uhh, what, what, all of a sudden?”
“What? what? Did you come to your senses all of a sudden?”
Victoria looked at me and was startled as if she had seen a ghost.
Is it any surprise that I came to my senses?
I lifted myself from the strange sandy bottom and looked around.
The first thing I see is Nike and Cristina looking at me with their gruff faces, and then I see the incredibly blue sky and the wide expanse of the sea.
stormy road.
There are no sinking ships.
“What happened?”
When I asked, Nike said with tears in her eyes.
“I thought Viktor was dying! But, I’m glad you survived!”
Looking at Nike’s behavior, I roughly inferred the situation.
My lifeboat capsized by the waves when the ship was sinking.
I lost my mind in the sea and was somehow rescued and survived—would it be good to guess?
There seems to be no other way to explain the situation.
There are many things I want to say in many ways.
I had a lot of questions.
For now, it’s better to focus on surviving.
“So where is this place?”
I looked around.
A fairly wide sandy beach.
It was full of trash and debris that looked like traces of a wrecked ship.
As I was wiping the seawater from my mouth, Christina calmly explained.
“This seems to be an island located somewhere in the Ludens Sea. It looks like an uninhabited island. I still don’t know exactly what island it is.”
About 30 people were said to have drifted to this island.
The number may increase as they continue to rescue people who are washed away by the waves.
Christina looked at the shore and said anxiously.
“Where did Hilde go? I wish I was on that island.”
I turned my head at the word over there island.
There was another island at what seemed like a few hundred meters or even a few kilometers from the island we are now on.
are two islands.
Could this be the island of the double moon that I saw on the map?
A new island added as DLC.
I looked around the place to check the place, but I didn’t see guys like Enio or Puipoi.
Are you on that island?
I hope nothing goes wrong.
Then I heard the sound of someone riding on the sandy beach.
When I turn my head, Arnoi, who caught a large crab, looks at me and is startled.
“Ah… ! Chef Viktor, it’s already happened… ! There is nothing more effective than pinching the nose with crab claws to wake up a person who has lost consciousness… . It’s a pity… .”
I’m sorry about something like that.
Even if Gero didn’t wake up, shouldn’t it be something to be happy about?
By the way, Arnoi survived well too.
As I admired it, Arnoi pushed his flat chest forward and let out a snort.
“This Arnoi, if not as good as a seawater nymph, he is a good swimmer like a ditch nymph… ! The other sisters must be surviving well somewhere… !”
It seems so.
Come to think of it, I think I heard something like Arnoi singing at the end.
“Arnoi, did you ever sing when the ship sank?”
“What song are you talking about… ?”
I don’t know if you see me tilting my head.
Well, even Arno wouldn’t have sang while the ship was sinking.
So what was that sound?
my hallucinations?
Then my stomach groaned.
Come to think of it, the crab Arnoi caught looked big and delicious.
– Crab, Crab.
Is it “King Ludens Crab”?
That’s a tier 1 material, so it’s hard to find, but you did a good job.
“Arnoi, give that crab here.”
“hehehehe… !”
Perhaps feeling my gaze, Arnoi trembled as he hid the crab behind his back.
“This, this Krepnoi is Arnoi’s friend… ! It’s something you shouldn’t eat… ! From the moment we just met, we were already friends… !”
─Creep Creep.
* * *
“Krepnoy… . In the next world, please live freely in the vast sea… .”
Arnoy, who thought he was so attached to the crab that he even gave it a name, surprisingly ate the “Crab Soup” well.
I made it, but it was salty and delicious.
The sweat I shed to prepare a shelter was replenished and I felt refreshed.
Victorica said as she elegantly wiped her mouth with her fingertips, as if her stomach had been filled and she was getting more energy.
“As expected, we need to secure food and drinking water first. And make usable tools first. Do you think surviving somehow and waiting for the rescue team is your priority?”
The experience of living in the wild for several days seemed to be helpful in many ways to Pom, who took out a small pocket knife.
At that time, Jin, with one of his glasses broken, looked up at the sky and said.
“A stranded ship. remote island. An average of four days before rescuers arrive.”
Is it really four days?
To spend four days on this island.
But it was a new island I didn’t know.
I’m just starting to get nervous.
