Day 375
Needs a TON of editing ~Miraclegrass
We reached another water area where the waves are calm and has a clear blue color.
Although it is not a special sea area, the tide is fast, yet it seems that there are not as many dangerous oceanic monsters as before.
For that reason, although it is not as rich as the special waters where the [Grand Leviathan] was, it is a sea area inhabited by plentiful prey such as the typical small fish.
Since it is a small area, we took out two magic vessels that had been stored in the item box and decided to do some fishing with them.
It is a simple job to pull up fish using a fishing net type magic item called "Owl's Fishing Net" with each of the magic ships.
If it is true, I think that it has a little bit of a troublesome ability, because it has the [Fertile Effect] that exerts [Fertilization Ocean] for fish. If you expand it appropriately, you can pull the fish in after you.
It is a magic item that can be said to come from a fisherman for what it is, since it can be said to have such a monochrome use.
That night the net was expanded so as not to overdo it too much.
During the meal Kanami told me she would come to my room later, so I stayed in my room - I prepared my own room, but I often sleep with Kanami-chan etc. So it has become more like a private place for me to go.
Since it is the next room over, I arrive soon enough.
As soon as I knocked, I was told "come in", so I opened the door.
Coming into view was a room like one found in a palace, Kanami is wearing a thin fabric dress and sitting on a sofa while gracefully tilting back a wineglass.
The appearance of Kanami is sensational and beautiful, but my consciousness is drawn to the red liquid being poured from the wine glass.
Even if you look like that, I can still feel the magic power hidden in the liquid. I become thirsty without even thinking of rich aroma in the alcohol yet.
When asked the reason why my line of sight kept focusing on the wine glasses, it seems to be drinking me in.
That is nice, but what is the red liquid?
As I thought so, when I sat face to face, he taught the identity of the red liquid.
It was a wonder that Kanami made the Empress Dragon's blood a raw material.
Apparently Kanami-chan, the former 【Magus】, blended the blood collected at battle with Hyulton, his blood and everything else, but its taste is terrible.
The impact of a rich, aged, and complex taste runs through the whole body as it takes a drink.
It feels like its freezing the mind and body, but also like a burning magical feeling.
Although it is hot, it is cold, it is hot and cold altogether. The combination of Kanami and Huron's magical powers gather together without compromising the good parts of both, making one unexpectedly jealous.
Even after its death, it manages to deliver a good blow.
I drank it with Kanami-chan with slightly complex thoughts, and then took out the [Magical Empress] cooked in advance by Iiyu and ate it together.
Incidentally, Hurthon had peeled the skin to look like a human-type dark slime, so that when it was cooked it had a unique softness like tofu.

After being satisfied with that taste which exceeds even the dragon emperor from the amount of [god power] that was included, Kanami also got to try it.
Since it deliberately stimulated jealousy, it is probably better to prepare some corresponding dishes.

Today is supposed to be set aside to play in the ocean, but this time we'll use the "Ship Kamiyoshi Steering Wheel" to summon the "Black Egress Sea Dragon", which has been newly reborn by meeting the conditions.
It was bigger than an ordinary Egress sea dragon because of the blackened skin, but the size was compressed with the ability of [Ship god Kiyoshi Steering Wheel] which is a [Sacred Treasure], finally a special small vessel - that is to say, a motor boat [Bragless].
【Bragless】 is an adult male big enough that 3 or 4 can ride with room to spare, so should it have a runabout type classification?
In any case, equipped with separate life-jackets that replace the floating rings, I ride through the sea with Auroand Argento behind me.
It felt faster than moving on the ground, and for kids it also felt exhilarating, laughing even when they're deliberately thrown into the sea.
We are now in what is called the «Racing Waters» where the waves are relatively calm and are characterized by highly transparent seawater.
There are no marine monster attacks, so it translated to our enjoying the ride quite well, but we gradually got used to [BRAGLESS], since its reaction is dull at first.
So we figure that [BRAGLESS] is about the size of a motor boat after using a rope and measuring by hand.
In short, it is a wake board which slides on the waters surface while passengers stand on a board with both feet.
At first I was challenged by being an example as a model of balance, but here the rare ability [Water Ride Johnny] demonstrated its effect.
While being towed by [BRAGLESS] and navigating automatically, I decide the skill needed was one to fly, bounce, and turn around.
Children who seemed excited to see it for the first time are all challenging the ride, but at first it was a bit difficult.
It took a lot of time to get up and on and off the rope on the way.
But once I got used to it, I was able to help the others figure it out.
Although I use physical fitness pretty much every day, my kids seemed to be just as comfortable by a wide margin.
By the way, Minokichi-kun was also challenged, but it did not seem to be a power shortage from [Bragless], just from his size.
At that time [Shark Head No.] covered as the magical ship we used.
Anyway, it can be said that it was a day when I enjoyed the ocean just like that.
I thought that that tomorrow would also be a good day while grilling a horse's weight in fish caught by the submarine.

Day 377
Unfortunately, today was a waste of time.
It was troublesome to go outside as a thunderstorm rained down, so I spent my time slowly inside the ship.
There may have been the option to go somewhere else using the [Teleport Gate], but there were also documents to be written, so I decided to stick to office work.
The night came before I even noticed.
Well, there will be such days.
====
Day 378
Small meteorites are sloppily falling around while we're sailing in a special waters area called "Sea Descending Sea".
There is no direct hit on us, as to whether it is a mysterious defense or not, it not even swaying the waves into a rough storm.
The explosions and shock waves never stop landing around us, the splashing sea water falls like rain.
It was troublesome so I decided to spend today on board the ship as well.
While digesting my work, I was taking a break time with Kanami on her back, earning some looks from the smith and alchemist.
Blacksmith-san has recently been crazy about making jewelry, so she has been working along-side Asue-chan.
Beside,Oniwaka is not the only one interested in smithing, there's also Opushii who has blessings from [God of Divine Beasts Protection] and [God of Jewels], seems to have their own thoughts on the subject.
While chatting with each other, they try designing something new from their combined experience.
Alchemist-san seems to be doing something in the kitchen with the sisters.
Since I was interested in it, I decided to study up on new condiments matching with the seafood ingredients.
I was laughing happily because it was neither inconvenient or awesome, we talked while we mixed preserved ingredients into a souvenir.
The road to new condiments is long and steep, but it will surely make something.
Iiyasu also mixed it up in the second half of the day, or so it seems to be anyway.
Besides, I went around everyone in between moments while I was doing this.
In that way time passed and we crossed over the gloomy «Desert Sea» so the outside is calm at night.
After dinner, I suddenly wanted to drink Onion wine so, I was relaxing outside after dinner while the night wind was blowing, when Minokichi came in silently.
It seems that Iiyugu cooked something by hand, a meat dish made from the former Beast King Lionel called [Beauty King].
Sitting with meat dishes in between us, without saying a word, I pour a drink.
Together with the flesh from the tempered limbs and the heart that we hotly pass along, we ate silently, eating the meat knobs at the same time.
The Oni Liquor is as tasty as always, but tonight it only has a supporting role to color the meat dishes.
It was not very handy, just like a bake but it was brilliant enough to make one think of Lionel, who shone like gold, just by taking one bite.
Illusion of that wild living invade the body as you chew. The magical power that overflows in its reach, and the sense of fulfillment of power is covering the whole body.
Lionel's opponent was handed over to Minokichi, but I think that I wanted to actually make it even with just one strike.
It is already late, but we eat meat with a slight regret, and spices.
【Ability 【Golden Lion King Armor】 learned】
【Ability 【Lion King's Roar】 learned】
【Ability 【Muon Lion King】 learned】
【Ability 【Conquest of Beast King】 learned】
As we did not forget the taste of the enemy that was killed and eaten, we just kept silent and demolished all the meat dishes.
I felt I could see not only Lionel but also Hürthon in the night sky.

Day 379
The number of exciting special water areas began to decrease, and it feels like when sailing somewhere close to land.
Perhaps the new continent is close.
So I thought to ask the Grand Admiral, and it seems that it is rather close to him as well.
It is impossible for us to arrive today but we can arrive by tomorrow.
I heard that it is impossible to reach another continent by crossing the ocean in less than a few months, normally.
The reason why we could shorten it by so much, and prove that the Admiral's route was right, was due to the performance of the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum.
Well, if such a story is okay, while today is still set aside for enjoying the elegance of the upper deck pool, I found a shadow that seems to be another fleet of armed ships far away.
At first it was far too away to make out any details, but the fleet is progressing in the same direction and their speed is faster, so the distance shrank as time passed.
They gradually became clearly visible, resolving into a fleet made up of tens of vessels.
Damage is conspicuous on all the hulls. Although there are relatively few scars, most of them are repaired by hand and they are still seemingly floating.
Were they hit by several marine monsters during an extended voyage?
I do not know if there were any sunken or strayed ships, but I could imagine the trouble of the fleet.
When it caught up after a while, with us sailing side by side as it was, the sailors were able to wave their hands with a smile on their faces, and we watched as they knelt and put their hands on their knees while dedicating prayers.
The reactions are different, but they are all cheerful, like everyone is relaxed, as if released from something.
For them it was also a new continent, a little after the voyage of their life.
However, the state of their hull was not good, and in a situation where it was attacked by a group of marine monsters or when it encountered any big crisis, it could become quite the dangerous situation, the fatigue and stress on the mind and body were heavy pressing on the sailors I guess.
If you think that the [Goddess of Dungeons] or the [god of the ship], which are from one pillar of deeply related gods, the connection of the sea to men is just as deeply related, as seen by the sailors we pass, that reaction makes sense.
It seems as though he encountered a guarding force.
For such reasons, the fleet springs up and raises their speed to match our own.
Did they think that they would not be attacked by any brutal oceanic monsters by being near [Ambrasseum · Parabellum], or did they just simply not want to separate.
In any case, although they had to work in parallel for a while due to their past struggles, they still gradually fall behind because the power was too different.
Besides, there were various hot exchanges, but after I took a look at the whole story, I changed my feelings and decided to enjoy the rest of my little vacation.
Yeah, an ogre drinking under the blue sky is good.
=========
Day 380
Since noon the land has been growing closer, the number of armed vessels we saw increased.
It leads to an expansion to the fleet of armed vessels accompanying us, but in addition to that we spotted the figure of a mid-size ship like something between a flyer and a fishing boat.
Although it can not go far beyond the armed ships, fishermen go out on medium size ships reinforced with armor.
That is to say that the land must be nearby, which means that there is a new continent at a distance that can be reached by these medium-sized ships.
While I am excited and awaiting our arrival, I am currently on a medium-sized ship [Fisherman] holding a net and harpoon observing the fish people hiding in the bottom of the ocean.
We are quick fishing by using magic items, but there is no doubt as to its movements what the boats main business is.
While slowly looking down at the boat, I am also looking back on the long, but short journey, it had slowly turned around, going back to the beginning of its first voyage, and as everyone gathered around naturally, I made a small banquet.
When we arrive at the New Continent, there will be many jobs to do, such as expanding our power base, and seeking unknown ingredients.
There is also the secondary meaning of nurturing the spirit. At the small banquet, Iwa and the sisters' dishes were well prepared, and a number of barrels containing elf and labyrinths wine were left empty barrels and rolling around.
When I was preparing the small banquet, it made me think about why I drank it as much as I could, our first voyage was over by the time I noticed that.
[Ambrasseum · Parabellum] anchors somewhat offshore from the port city, and Admiral Kuroda announces the news of our arrival.
As I saw it, the New World was definitely here, and I could find a city birthplace that is full to bursting.
From here it is necessary to take a ship down into the New Continent, but since it was close to dusk, I decided to take a rest here.
The small banquet is an ordinary banquet, full of drinking, singing, and other fusses.
We pray that we should discover delicious ingredients that have not been encountered yet in this new place called New World.
We pour out noodles and have a toast.
