Chapter 3: [A Lively Sailing]

Location: Hideout ~ To the Sea

---

This is a really complicated hideout! It's narrow, dark, and the passages are also complicated.

That’s how a naturally made cave is. With some improvements, a natural fortress was completed.

Even if the enemy comes to attack, it’s complicated, so they can’t attack freely. Even if a hostage runs away, they can’t easily go out.

Good grief—be more rational. There’s no directions, it seems that this is not going to proceed well too.

Ah, Captain-san, did you get a better opinion of me? Well, only a few people would be able to understand my—

—Enough with the impertinent talk and advance quickly! It because of this that I can’t trust people who get cocky immediately.

Buhe... he’s really a slave driver...

—Who’s there? Finally... the time to be sold came?

Buhehehehehe...! Ooh, now that I look closer there’s only cuties.

2 options (Same Response)
That merman is cool!	That merman is cute!

As long they have a cute face and a posture I like, everybody is welcome, buhehe.

Gouryou excitedly moved his hand with a grinning expression.

Buhehe. Are you hurt? It’s all right, because I’ll treat you properly.

Hiiie! How hideous wicked smile...!

...The situation is not progressing smoothly in any way. Hey Makara, Go and explain it to them.

Understood. Sorry for scaring you, mermaids.

We came to release you. We’ll explain the situation to you, so please calm down and listen.

I see... I apologize for wrongly suspecting you.

It’s fine as long as you understand. Now, let’s leave this place. Could you follow me?

—Yes! Makara-sama! We are counting with you...!

Big Bro Makara is amazing! He’s surrounded by mermaids.

According to the plan, l was supposed to be there... What’s with this sense of defeat...?

Dammiiiit! Let me join tooooooooooooo! Cute giiiiiiiiiiiiiirls!

Nooooooo! Don’t come, you pig! Makara-same, please help me! Kyaaa!

Gouryou dove aiming to the gorgeous group. The mermaids moved their tails and did an anti-air strike.

...Hah. What is he doing? Just when I though he really did it... well, it doesn’t matter.

Hey sailors! Let’s send them to their companions. Don't flirt, and get over my ship quickly!

Dahahahahaha! It was great victory! Good job!

It seems that you were very impressive too! Not bad! I’m falling for you with you more and more!

3 options
Thanks.	Typhon was also impressive.	Falling for me? Are you kidding me?
Isn’t that a pleasing thing to say? I was really cool, (PIayer)—han.		Your angered face it’s cute too. Dahahahaha!

Hey, hey, uncle Typhoon! And me? How about me?!

This is bad! Typhoon-sama is still an energetic young man!

Well, being treated as an old man by a middle-school student can’t be helped (boo-hoo).

All right. Eita, you really did his best, let me praise you.

I did my best! Because—l won’t forgive people who do bad things on the sea.

The sea is for everyone! I’ll beat them and make the guys who make a lot of people sad—

... Uncle Typhon?

...Hn? Aah, sorry Eita. Uncle wasn’t listening.

Uhm... What’s wrong? You kinda—look really sad though...

Is that so? Isn’t that only your imagination? If I had a gloomy face, the cute girls would escape.

.........

By the way, Eita. What’s that "Sacred Artifact"?

Oh, Uncle Typhoon can also understand the greatness of this "Sacred Artifact"?

It’s my prideful "Sacred Artifact"! It can burst open a huge hole no matter which sea.

Well, it can do something of that level. However, the real use is not that.

Eh? Uncle Typhon, could it be that you... know about this "Sacred Artifact"?

Well—it’s a thing from the world I came from, "Olympus."

At that moment, (Player) and the others notice the figure of a sad pig, resting on the corner of the sight.

(Player)... It seems you are having fun...

What? Uncle Gouryou... ...hey, he smells! He smells like sake! Didn’t you drink too much?!

1 option
Did the plan of rescuing the hostages and becoming popular worked?

You ask that!? Stop rubbing salt on my wounds!

If the plan would have worked, I would be laughing in this moment... Everyone went to Makara’s side.

Ah, people who have a real life can break up on the milky way. Just like that stupid couple.

3 options
You chose the wrong person to mess with.	This is like reaping what you sow...	There, there... it was painful, right?
It’s Big bro Makara who are we talking about... I remember it too... It seems that having no desires is also a weapon... Makara himself is not the opponent though. I’m so jealous. (Player)! Please comfort me. Buhe.	No, I don’t think so! I think that a modest success fee would be ideal at least! I won’t say luxury, sleeping one one’s lap, having some drinks, if at least they just allow me to nuzzle... ...Hey, senpai. What does modest mean again? That’s right, that’s right, (Player). Please comfort me. Buhehehe	Buhiiiiiii, (Player)! You are so nice, hey,hey,hey... Buhehe... *Sniff* *Sniff"... When realizing, Gouryou was rubbing his cheeks on (Player)’s body with a grinning face.

3 options
Anyone is fine, isn’t it?!	You unprincipled pig!	Here, here, it’s alright.
Bugyaa?! Owowow! My bad! I’m sorry for getting overexcited! Buhehehe... But, The way you beat me was so gentle...		—Howaah...!? H-Hey, you won’t beat me up!? ...I-It’ll become serious, you know? Are you okay with that? buhe. Buheheheh.

Hahaha, it seems that it became very lively. It’s a good thing that everyone is getting along.

You—daring to have a pretty girl on each arm! I don’t care anymore! You’re an enemy! Stuupid! Popular jerk!

Such terrifying hostility...! But, is popular jerk even an insult...?

We’ll arrive to the mennaid’s water soon. Before that— it seems to be something that the mermaids want to talk about.

Talk...? Hah, aren’t those just complains about being sexually harassed?

On this occasion... we want to express our gratitude— for saving us after being captured by those pirates.

We heard the situation from Makara-sama. Thanks to everyone—so we cam return.

Please forgive us—for our rudeness on so many occasions, brave land people.

Buhe, buhehehehe! It’s fine as long as you understand! Riiight?

Yeah! It’s a relief that you were safe! Mermaids!

These kids were also cautious for being captured. They really are honest kids that want to express they gratitude.

No way... Makara-same... It’s all thanks to you, who patiently explained us the situation.

Buhehe...! With this, the dream of a harem is...!

(Standing alone)

As I thought, Makara! You are my enemyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

The cry of Gouryou’s soul echoed on the endless wide ocean.

A few days passed after leaving the hideout of the pirates. The ship came back to the "Mermaids’ Waters."

We’ll at the mermaids’ territory soon. Everybody, keep the specialized equipment just in case.

If my prediction is correct, they’ll come really soon.

... You made us wait, brave land people.

Oh no— You came already?

Big Sis Benten? We came to save you but... What are you doing?

Can’t you tell by looking? A biwa and harp session of course!

Even if I became a hostage, this Benten-sama will live in freedom!

Therefore... I don’t really feel lonely—

Eita suddenly jumped, Benten fell on her backside without thinking.

Ow, ow... Wait, Eita! What are you—

Big Sis Benteeeeeeen! Thank goodness... thank goodness that you are safeeee.

Wait, stop! There’s no way that I wouldn’t be able to do something, right?

D-Do something (Player)! Aah, come on! Eita, you’re covered on snot!

3 options (Same Response)
Benten, thank goodness you're safe.	Don't make me cry.	If you could be more honest.

.........

At that time, I... even when I promised you that I would protect you!

I’m sorry, Big Sis Benten! Thank goodness you’re fineeeeee! Uwaaaaaah!

...You’re an idiot. Making such promise. You’re just a kid, you don’t have to bear responsibility for your honor.

Aah. Isn’t it me that was just only complaining the one who’s an idiot?

But... you didn’t abandon me and came. Thank you. This is—uhm...

Let’s leave it as a debt! I’ll return the double, so prepare yourself!

—With this, we delivered all the hostages. Return us... that lass.

Yes, there’s no problem. Please I want you to forgive us— for the rude treatment from before.

There’s nothing to apologize for. The problem was caused by land people in the end.

Please don’t misunderstand. We, the people from the sea— still don’t forgive the people from the land.

Right now, the feeling of this apology—are for you, individually.

...My, my. Such a deep matter.

By the way—There’s something I want to ask.

The group left the place where the mermaids lived and set their course to the port town.

Soooo, Benten-sama’s great revival!

It has been a while since I was on stage to cheering up things! I’ll make the deep bass sound resound on this quiet sea!

Hyaahyaa! That’s great, Missy! Here, jump from there! Jump from there!

Why are you here, you pig jerk? Also, your sight is too low! You are not dozing, right!?

That’s great, thatjeer... oops. Such powerful voice makes me excited! Buhehehe.

Oh? Isn’t she a lively girl? That’s good, that’s good! Why don’t you liven thing up?

Oh, there's a new face here too. Here’s like an animal bizarre ship.

So you are that Benten? Nice to meet you. I hear a lot of things 'bout you from Eita.

Here is an extremely big one too...! Yes, nice to meet you! I’m Benten.

What’s with this noise? It hurts my ears.

A bigger one! Everyone is so big that all of you stand out...

2 options (Same Response)
Well then, now that Benten came back—	Let’s talk about what we are going to do now.

How to return to Tokyo, right? *Sigh* It feels like we finally entered to the main issue.

But, even if you say how to return... Senpai, is there a way to do it?

2 options (Same Response)
How could we return? I wonder.	Isn’t there some hint?

—Hah. "Return" ...huh?

I feared that we had no plan...! I can’t say that isn’t rockin'.

—Fine. I wasn’t just being captured and having a session with the mermaids after all!

This sea is an "change to another world" with Tokyo Bay, right? In other words—I think that there must to be some kind of "bond"!

Oh, missy. Are you familiar with [change to another world]? You’re quite knowledgeable despite your appearance.

A quite big "change to another world" happened on a famous commercial facility in front of the Nakano station a while before.

I investigated about it on the SNS at that time. Like an old wound. To think that it’ll become useful.

Well, I’ll tell you while a play a mysterious song! Listen carefully!

For a [change to another world], first that "place." Then, if a "summon" bound to that is present, it occurs.

The terrain, that place name, to communicate it, the most common points there’re, it may be easier to occur but—

1 option
A "summon" bounded to that place?

Its soul bounded by some way and not be able to leave— Or maybe, if there’s some strong obsession.

In other words, if the "summon" that became the chains of that "change to another world" leaves, we could return to our original place.

So, missy. Where could that "summon" could be?

There’s no way I could know that!

This is baaaaaad! It didn’t become a hope!?

Then—there’s one more thing. The way to leave that "change to another world"!

Oh, there’s still more, huh? Just when I thought you were keeping the suspense. Explain it quickly without wasting time!

The other thing, a "change to another world" is rooted to that place until the end. If we go to that edge, It would be possible to leave.

This one is more realistic, isn’t it? Because, we just have to go to that edge after all!

Yes, about that... I have to tell you something.

Before meeting you, we wandered around this sea together with Captain Ahab.

From the results, beyond the south and east sea there’s an invisible wall that won’t let us advance.

1 option
An invisible wall?

Aah, I see, I see. Because it was "Tokyo Bay" before after all.

What are you doing, pig? Are you trying to steal my big moment!?

Buhehehe. That’s good, those eyes... Buhii.

2 options
What do you mean?	Ah, I see!
South and east... ah, I know! It means that it’s the same as Tokyo Bay!	Gahaha! That’s right, that’s right, here is "Tokyo Bay."

I didn’t really understand it but, now I got it. In other words, something like this.

It looks like that inside this "change to another world," a lot of different worlds were mixed together but—

That’s, in fact, wrong. The original terrain of this sea is "Tokyo Bay" until the end.

Well, it’s really distorted and the extension seems to be way bigger that Tokyo Bay though.

Then, "Tokyo Bay" is the entrance to another sea— the south and east were carefully blocked.

In other words—there’s something beyond that south and east on this "change to another world" sea

1 option
In other words, the remaining part is—

If there’s a clue to escape this sea, we have to go— to the deeps of that northwest waters.

The waters of those mermaids is further northwest, a place where nobody has navigated before.

Therefore, we have to set our course to the waters further northwest.

2 options (Same Response)
Captain, are you going to escape too?	Captain, if you’re together with us is like having the power of a hundred!

...Hm. The prey I’m looking for is not on these waters after all.

Then, I’m just going to search that prey on the sea. Just that. Don’t misunderstand.

However... There’s one problem.

From what I hear on the informant before, it seems that the northwest waters is the home of "that thing."

2 options (Same Response)
Could "that thing" be—	The "Black Windstorm"?

Makara nodded to those words.

Yes, that’s right. Every boat that approached the "Black Windstorm" ended up sinking.

Its sphere of influence is a wide northwest range. If it was a coincidence or inevitable—the escape for these waters and those assumed waters.

It seems that the "Black Windstorm" is getting bigger and bigger every day. If we leave it alone like that—it’ll swallow everyone on these waters.

A catastrophe that would swallow the world, the "Black Windstorm." Doesn’t it sounds threatening, right, Typhon?

.........

Ahab looked at typhoon. But, Typhon averted his gaze like if he were escaping.

...But, anyway. It seem sthat we have to going there.

Typhon, Gouryou. What are you going to do?

I can leave you on the port town from before— or are you going to stay in this ship?

From now on, it’s going to be a great voyage. No matter how much people there are, I always won’t be enough to move a ship.

If that’s the case, let’s us ride this ship. We should return to [Tokyo] soon. Right, Gouryou?

Buhi. That’s right. Even if we stay here it couldn’t be helped.

3 options
It's decided, Captain Ahab.	I’m counting on you, Typhon!	I’m relying on you, Gouryou.
...My, my. Seriously, such a strange group.	Ooh, I’m counting on you! Typhon-sama will protect you, so don’t worry!	I’ll do my job properly. In my own way—that’s it.

All right! Then, your captain will indicate you a plan. Dig out your ears and listen, my sailors!

First, we’ll return to your beloved south port town and make preparations for the sail.

After that, we’ll pass through some port town and supply some goods— and we will head to the northwest waters!

Yeeeeeeeeeees!

Everyone there raised their fists overhead, screaming with joy.

The port town near to the northwest waters was—really close.
