Chapter 423: Let's Tuck Our Tails Between Our Legs and Run Away

It was a stunning sight.

When the giant whale monsterLeviathanfilled the surface of the sea with its magical power, the sea began to swirl rapidly, and a spear of seawater was released from the center of the vortex toward dragon Kazane.

At the same time, the giant squid monsterKrakenalso immediately stretched out a tentacle to attack dragon Kazane.

Kyaaaaaaa!

Seeing that, Yui screamed. Yumika and the others also grew tense, and the moment they thought battle might be unavoidable, Kazane's eyes glowed.

Mega Beeeeeam!!

Then, a ray of light was emitted from the dragon's eyes. That light erased both the seawater spear and the extended tentacle without a trace. Moreover, after it passed through those, the beam continued on and cut through the surface of the sea, creating a large wall of water from the impact.

Kazane. You can use Skills even though you're a dragon right now?

After Yumika's surprised words, Kazane saidAh, did I not mention that?

When Dragonization reached Skill Level 3, I became able to set a single Skill to use. It's similar to Yumika'sMetamorphosis Divine Protection.

By the way, it seemed dragon Kazane's sudden appearance at Royal Castle Griffonias' square during the coronation ceremony was thanks to a set Skill. In order to not frighten the city during that time, she used Invisible as she flew to the castle, so her sudden appearance in that place was due to canceling the Skill and becoming visible.

More importantly, let's run away.

You're not going to defeat them, Mother?

Tatsuo said with a Kuwaa, and Kazane shook her head.

I can only fire Mega Beam one more time, and it would be impossible to defeat those with just that.

Excluding Dark Forest monsters,LeviathanandKrakenwere both top-ranked monsters in this world. They might be able to defeat them if they fought with all their power, but they weren't opponents they needed to push themselves to defeat right now. Then Kazane and the others flew up out of the range of the giant monsters.

While riding on the back of that Kazane dragon, Yumika was vigilantly watching behind, and she spoke up.

Ah, those two are fighting.

After those words, everyone clinging on to Kazane's back looked behind.

Oh my. They weren't companions.

I guess the smell of something delicious must have lured them to the surface?

After Tiara's words, Emily responded like that. They were already quite far away from those monsters, so composure had returned to the two people's expressions.

Onee-sama, scary.

Then Tiara hugged the frightened Yui and stroked her head while sayingWe're safe now.As might be expected, for Yui, who had never even seen a goblin before, the situation was too stimulating.

It looks like low altitude is dangerous. Shall we go a bit higher?

OK, Mother.

And as Tatsuo cried Kuwaa, dragon Kazane soared higher into the sky. Kazane and the others rose until they were about 500 meters up; there were no more incidents for the rest of their flight, and they safely arrived at Auriol Beach.

Sea Town Auriol, Tsuvara Royal Family's Villa

You did well to survive.

When Kazane and the others arrived at the Tsuvara royal family's villa, they reported the information about the Leviathan and Kraken to a person at the villa, and the person replied that way with a surprised expression.

Perhaps due to the ocean currents in that area, many huge marine monsters live there. Leviathans and Krakens are especially famous among fishermen as monsters to be wary of, so that area generally isn't approached.

After the villa's butler, Benha, spoke, Kazane groaned.

As might be expected, the map Kazane possessed didn't have such information. If it were a map of sea routes, it may have had such a warning, but Kazane didn't procure one. It was undeniable that their preparations were insufficient for crossing the sea.

Sure enough, we have to be more cautious when we're going to a place we've never been to before.

That's right. I can't fight properly on the sea's surface.

After Kazane's words, Jinrai nodded. Without any foothold on the sea's surface, Jinrai would only be able to use throwing attacks; without at least a ship to use, he couldn't fight at sea.

In any case, they were at the sea.

The town of Auriol faced Auriol Beach and was built around the Tsuvara royal family villa. The villa was built on a cliff overlooking the royal family's private beach, and once the cliff was descended, the sea was immediately nearby..

However, they still had tasks to take care of, such as greeting the residents of the villa, so Kazane and the others headed to the sea after lunch.

Auriol Beach, Royal Family's Private Beach

That's the first time I've seen salty yakisoba served on a silver plate and eaten so elegantly.

It's that cultural differences thing.

While talking about lunch a short while ago, Kazane and Yumika walked on the sandy beach.

Kazane was currently wearing a bright green bikini. Yumika walking at her side was in a black bikini with the same design as Kazane, and Emily was behind them in a red one-piece swimsuit. Would their respective onomatopoeia be Pitaa, Poyoyon, Choon? Though the meaning of those sound effects are  unclear.

Tiara and Yui were walking even further behind them in matching frilly swimsuits that had yellow floral patterns resembling rapeseed flowers; Louise was accompanying them, and she was wearing a white micro bikini. The narrowness of the cloth area was dangerous. By the way, as Tiara's blood relative, Yui was endowed with a suitable size. Well, the Tatsuyoshi-kun factor shouldn't particularly matter for that.

Also, for the men, Jinrai-san was wearing black swim briefs, with the rest omitted. They're inconsequential.

Dangerous. When I'm in front of Louise-san, I feel like my Gungnir's going to awaken.

I'm standing at attention at all times, though.

Let's enter the sea for now. And cool off.

Then Lyle and Naoki went into the sea. Gieve's Spear bouncing up and down to follow them was an amusing sight, but the thing it said was disgusting.

By the way, this royalty-exclusive private beach was fundamentally prepared for sunlight therapy, so swimming wasn't the purpose. For that reason, Tiara, Yui, and Louise applied sunscreen and were relaxing on the beach. Yuuko-nee was also curled up next to them.

As for Kazane,

Nn, like this?

It's so transparent that it's almost indistinguishable from the water.

Yumika said as she started walking on a board made of crystal. That plank stretching over the surface of the sea was made of Crystallized sand. Due to its high transparency, it looked like she was floating on the surface of the water.

Recently, I've been focused on practical uses. It's been a while since I made something for playing like this.

It's amazing, Mother. I'm walking on water.

While crying Kuwaa, Tatuso walked at a steady pace, right up until he walked off the edge and fell into the sea. Then, he cried Kuwaa again.

Tatsuo, that part's just normal sea.

It's salty. But I don't dislike being in the sea.

Is that so?

After Tatsuo's words, Kazane tilted her head. Blue dragons were Ice dragons, but they also had the Water attribute. In fact, the Cold Breath that dragon Kazane and Tatsuo could emit was a composite magic of Water and Ice attributes, and Tatsuo also had the aspects of a Water dragon.

Uwaa, there are some colorful fish here.

Emily was looking into the sea from on top of the crystal board. She could see fish with red and blue colors swimming around here and there.

There's a huge island over there.

That's an Island Turtle.

Since Kazane and the others looked like they were enjoying themselves, Tiara was enticed to come over to join them, and she replied to Yumika's words. Yui also came with her, and when she looked down, she saidUwawa, amazing.It was extremely charming.

Island Turtle?

Yumika tilted her head after Tiara's words.

That's the shell of a giant turtle. There are merchants living on top of it who travel up and down the coastline to trade. There are usually one or two Island Turtles around Auriol.

HehhSo big

Yumika and Emily said, impressed. It seemed Kazane already knew, as she didn't look particularly surprised.

Incidentally, Jinrai-san said that he would do a long-distance swim over there and left. Shippuu went with him.

Ah, no wonder. I was wondering why I couldn't see him.

After Kazane spoke, Yumika looked around to confirm Jinrai wasn't around and said that. After that, Kazane and the others played until sunset, then returned to the villa.

That night, Jinrai and Shippuu didn't come back.

Before his long-distance swim, Jinrai told Kazane he might drink over there, so she wasn't particularly worried. However, she was curious about the Island Turtle and wanted to see it up close.

Therefore, at Kazane's request, they decided to go to the Island Turtle tomorrow.
