Chapter 351. The only purpose is tourism (3) In addition, if it’s not dangerous to play while floating in the water like this, there’s no problem at all.
It’s because the boat we’re on and the area we’re floating in are surprisingly not rippling at all.
I don’t have to worry about drifting away just in case.
The reason is simple.
Around us, mermaids look out and control the ocean currents with magic.
Thanks to that, there is no worry of drifting at all.
The ship is also enchanted, so it never capsizes.
As proof of that, Asha, who gets seasick, is doing nothing right now.
It is proof that it does not shake.
Enjoy safe water play under the supervision of mermaids.
In a sense, this is a vacation you can enjoy because you are a valued guest.
How many humans can enjoy a vacation on the sea like this while being escorted by mermaids?
While thinking about that, I suddenly realized something strange.
“….uh? But I can’t see Dia from a while ago… What is she doing’?”
Looking at it, except for the maids, there are only Pena, Asha, and Seina on the ship.
Dia was also riding with me a little while ago, but disappeared while I was enjoying sea otters.
It doesn’t look like you’re swimming. What are you doing?
“She is over there.”
It was Asha who answered.
For some reason, she pointed in one direction with a subtle smile.
As I followed that direction, I saw Dia flying slowly over the sea with flying magic in the distance.
“huh? what is he doing?”
At first, I thought it might be a boundary line, but it probably isn’t.
While I’m here, the mermaids are taking care of the basics.
Thanks to that, there are of course no monsters passing by this place, and only very mild fish.
Of course, the place where Dia is now is outside of that blessing.
“Oh my, what is she doing now?”
Pena also looked at her curiously after hearing the conversation.
Dia is now circling the sea area as if she is looking for something.
It’s like a bird looking for something.
It was a moment when everyone was puzzled by her eccentricity.
“Didn’t Seina talk to you about something when Dia was leaving earlier?”
“ah? That’s what I mean.”
Come to think of it, Seina, who seems embarrassed to answer, is also doing something in the corner of the boat.
I saw something
“fishing rod?”
“It’s just that mermaids don’t have fishing tackle. So I made a bet with Dia for a while.”
Come to think of it, besides the fishing rod Seina is holding, there is another fishing rod without an owner.
“A fishing bet… But why only two? What about Asha and Pena?”
“I am?????? a little??????
“Me too… I’m gross.”
Both felt disgusting.
Well, if you’re not used to the feel of bait and fish, you usually don’t like it.
But why does Dia run away from home instead of fishing?
“I did, but Dia’s side didn’t get caught anyway.”
“ah? There is such a thing.”
We went fishing together, but everyone except me caught it.
It definitely doesn’t get hot.
“After that, he said he would catch something, and then suddenly flew away, so I don’t know.”
I’m going to catch it… what the hell?
After all, it’s best to ask the locals at times like these.
“Hey there mermaid girl! Is there anything over there?”
When I asked, one of the mermaid girls who was aiding us tilted her head and thought deeply.
“Over there… Come to think of it, at this time, over there…
the moment the mermaid girl was about to say something.
Dia was the first to act.
Isn’t it like casting magic all of a sudden?
You can’t be sure from looking at it from a distance, but the magic she used is a simple air hammer.
It’s a very simple magic that uses air pressure to hit and drive shockwaves.
Dia smashes it into the sea with all her might.
Fain!
A spray of water gushes out.
However, seeing that it doesn’t shake on this side, it seems that it has been adjusted to limit the impact.
Not even a sound.
Silence magic that erases sound is also being used at the same time.
A completely unobtrusive eccentricity. It’s a useless master’s skill.
Honestly, if I hadn’t wondered where he went, no one would have known.
While everyone was lost in her eccentricity, the mermaid girl who heard my question clapped her hands.
“I see! At this time, there is an ocean current that carries fish that are in their prime!”
“Ah… was that it?”
After hearing that, I understood what Dia was trying to do.
Dia continues to hit the impact as if chasing something.
I don’t mind even if my whole body is drenched in the spray of water.
And finally, Dia pulls something with her magic, and then she catches it.
It was a fish as tall as her.
It’s similar to tuna.
“…Are you fishing like that?”
The catch was the fish.
Apparently, he boldly threw away the fishing rod when he couldn’t catch it.
Even from a distance, you can see that they are faintly elated.
This is the face that says he won.
“…isn’t that a foul?”
“That’s up to you to decide.”
Seeing that the mermaids don’t say anything, I guess it’s illegal to fish with magic here.
What kind of bet did you make before that, so you’re using such a shameful number?
For reference, Dia is holding a fish as if she is proud of something besides simply winning the bet.
Doesn’t that smell fishy…
“I think you’re excited apart from betting on something?”
“Come to think of it, I felt like I was missing something at dinner a little while ago.”
“Ah… Come to think of it, I think it was like that.”
At the dinner earlier, the escorts took turns eating separately.
I was quite satisfied, but our mage must have lacked something.
Yes, when you come to a place like this, you might want to eat the best food available there.
I do understand a little bit.
Sometimes I think that he secretly wastes more talent than I do.
At first glance, the fishing sounds noisy, but the fish she caught showed no signs of injury.
How delicately did you hit him?
Thanks to Dia, who is so engrossed in hunting fish in the sea, it seemed that tonight’s dinner would be more luxurious than the previous dinner.
Afterwards, it is said that some mermaids and sirens showed interest in Dia’s bizarre fishing method.
Later, I saw that she asked her something personally.
As a result.
Since then, it is said that bizarre fishing, in which mermaids hit fish with shock waves, took place every year when it was time to fish.
Is it surprisingly effective?
Of course, that is a fairly short future.
After a day’s stay in the maritime city.
The next place we visited was the industrial city of Dwarves.
It is said that the people who stay here are the strong and skilled races such as Dwarves and Minotaurs.
For now, the representative is said to be in charge of the dwarves.
At first, I was quite surprised when I heard that they were trying to make a city like this a tourist destination.
Because I’ve already heard about the appearance of their kingdom from the dwarves who work in our territory before.
But do you recommend this place?
“…Arken said that the kingdom of the dwarves was literally surrounded by mines, so it was impossible to see them.”
“It certainly was.”
Ella, our guide, heard me and nodded in agreement.
“The old Dwarven Kingdom, located in the Iron Mountains, is still used as a major workshop facility. This is a newly relocated city after the unification of Kelia.”
A city of dwarves with a huge iron barrier.
At first, I also wondered what kind of spectacle there would be in this place after seeing its rugged appearance.
When I went inside the walls and saw the structure of the elaborately built city, that thought quickly vanished.
“That’s right…. It means that the artisan’s skill is used as a form of tourism.”
I walked around the streets with everyone and judged by seeing for myself.
By the way, I had already met the representative of the Dwarves.
Well, he was a man whose only impression was that he was a dwarf.
At first, I thought it would be suitable to offer a drink, but everyone’s eyes were stinging, so I moderately declined and decided to enjoy the city tour instead.
“There are quite a lot of products.”
“You have a variety of products on display, ranging from simple weapons.”
“Still, the quality of weapons is ours.”
It’s overwhelming with materials such as titanium alloy.
As expected, his skills cannot be underestimated, probably because he is the same dwarf.
As for elaborate decorations or aesthetic pursuits… Well, surely this side is going to have a bit of an edge?
Well, our dwarves aren’t interested in decorations or art.
In other words, pragmatism.
There is a difference in attitude here.
It’s not that Hagiya Aken isn’t dexterous with his hands, and he makes pretty decorations whenever he wants, but he doesn’t take the initiative to use them.
When I asked myself, he said that he only learned it as a necessary skill during his training days.
I sometimes ask if he’s not interested, but he doesn’t show interest at all.
“Subtly, the lines of our products and products do not overlap…. Is that what you were aiming for?”
I ask as if to listen, but our guide doesn’t say anything.
Instead, it suggested another interesting thing right away like water flowing.
“After the full-scale opening, we plan to hold a festival where each artisan competes with each other.”
“Oh yeah? Can craftsmen from outside participate in that?”
“That’s right.”
“I really do remember.”
I smiled.
When you say something like that, I can’t help but remember it.
After that, we continued to look around the city.
At first, I started to look around with the concept of a light walk, but unexpectedly, it also handles decorations and furniture that I like, so it became a shopping trip to purchase them before I knew it.
In terms of functionality, the one developed by us is the best, but from an aesthetic point of view, theirs are fine too.
In addition, furniture and the like were needed at the same time, so it was not an unnecessary consumption at all.
The purchased product is bulky, so let’s call Fry and the kids to take it later.
After looking around, we took a break and bought snacks that caught our eye.
Surprisingly, the Dwarves were selling quite a few things that looked pretty tasty, as if they had a knack for cooking.
Among them, this one was the most reputable.
I happened to see a certain dwarf making a stall and bought it.
“Is this a weird snack? Did you wrap some fruit or other things in the flour dough?”
Everyone, including Pena, was chatting while taking a bite of each snack.
I, too, am smiling bitterly while biting into the same snack.
“Dwarves are dexterous with their hands, but they show off their skills this way again…
To think that a rugged man who looks like he’ll set up a food stall at any moment is seriously making these pretty snacks.
Looking at it in person, it’s pretty unbalanced, so I don’t know what kind of expression to put on.
“Recently, some Dwarves have opened their eyes to cooking. ‘Cooking is no different from blacksmith work!’ It seems to claim that. Thanks to that, this kind of food has become popular.”
“Hmm… Well, it’s completely different from our dwarves.”
It would be great if those guys watched and learned.
“Then, was this snack also developed by those dwarves? Or.”
I put the remaining half of the snack in my mouth at once and swallowed it.
Enjoy the sweet taste of the fruits and ingredients of Kellya’s rich nature.
Feeling complicated that it was the workmanship of those muscular and delicate hands.
“Did someone teach you?”
Where my eyes are directed.
The words written on the signboard of that dwarf stall must have read something like this.
I mean ‘crepes sucrees’.
yumma you’re too blatant
I was dumbfounded and shook my head.
