"I said, is this direction okay?" Akai looked in the direction of the sun and said with some concern.

"Well, I don't remember it very well, but if you keep sailing in this direction, you should be able to reach the place where Ruyue first appeared soon." Ruyue said with great certainty, because she had always felt this way, and her intuition told her that this direction was correct.

That's right, our destination this time is towards the sea area where Ruyue was first discovered.

As for the underwater temple, since the location is not clear at all, it can only be searched aimlessly. But this is obviously not possible, and it is completely impossible to plan a trip without a goal, so after our discussion, we decided to go to the sea area where Ruyue first appeared.

It's not a long way, and I estimate it will take less than two days to get there.

After the wind blows, the speed of the ship under its feet can reach a speed of about sixteen knots, which is quite acceptable.

"However, without a compass, I am still very unaccustomed to it." Ruyue looked at the compass in her hand that was shaking constantly, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, it's good to get used to it, the compass of this world is not so much a compass as a home needle."

I held the boat chop with both hands, my back to the sea, and leisurely enjoyed the scenery on the sea.

"But then again, it was really dangerous at the time." Akai lifted the rod upwards and flicked the hook out again. "If we hadn't found out earlier, Ruyue would have been in danger for you."

"Hi ・・・・・・" is still afraid for a while when I think about it now, in the endless sea, the possibility of being rescued is equivalent to a miracle.

"But didn't a miracle happen, so that kind of thing is in the past, and it can be regarded as a memory." I said with a smile.

"That's right, in every sense, the story of me and Xia is equivalent to a miracle, and I suddenly feel that we can write a biography after everything is understood." Akai quipped.

Biography? Looks like a good one. I touched my chin.

If I'm not mistaken, that little library in town seems to contain information about me and Akai, of course, from a thousand years ago.

It seems that the title of the book is "The Stone of the Philosopher" and "The Crest of the Wind".

"It's full of what the name makes me want to complain." I thought back to the two books I had read in the library over there that recorded the biographies of me and Akai, and my face was black. The titles of the books are full of immediacy, are there?

Shall I make something similar to the Philosopher's Stone one day and throw it into the sea, and then start the Age of Discovery? It seems to be quite fun.

Stop, stop, and if you think about it again, your brain will be beyond the scope of reason.

"Ah, what's that?" Akai looked puzzled.

"Well, nothing, just thinking of something weird." The corner of my eye twitched, and I hurried to find something else.

Since Ruyue came, Akai and I have unconsciously talked more, in the past, we had nothing to say except for daily communication about work progress and making plans for the next day, after all, I didn't see you when I looked down.

In the process of calm chatting, time passed slowly.

In the afternoon, the scorching morning sun evaporated the sea, raising the temperature of the sea quite a bit, but luckily I was prepared, and a large number of snowballs were prepared in the box, and I was ready to make shaved ice when the time came.

・・・・・・

"What's strange・・・・・・ Akai frowned after fishing for a long time, and a gloomy feeling suddenly sounded from his heart.

"It's been so long, why haven't any fish been baited?"

In terms of odds, we were able to catch at least five fish in an average of half an hour. After all, although there is a shortage of fish in this world, there is no large number of humans to catch them, so their numbers are very large.

This world is about eight times larger than the Earth, so the ocean is about eight times larger.

As for the size of the land, we don't know, we haven't reached the level of technology to be able to get a glimpse of the entire MC world in the void.

And now, Akai hadn't caught a single fish for an hour in a row, and this anomaly made Akai stand up.

"Like the moon."

Ruyue, who was sitting in the cabin enjoying the coolness, responded, "Hi ~ Kaijun, is there something wrong?" ”

"Be careful, it's not a good sea." Akai's expression became serious, although he usually relied on tease to kill his boredom when he was fine, but when he really encountered something, Akai was still very reliable.

"Huh?" Ruyue stepped out of the cabin and looked around, but didn't find anything strange in the calm sea.

"Ruyue, let's lower the speed of the ship first." Akai instructed at Ruyue.

"Understood." Ruyue nodded, and then controlled the speed of the boat to slowly descend.

On the other side, I also noticed the situation and walked up to Akai's side, and I looked at the calm sea.

"Well・・・・・・ trouble, it seems that we have reached some great place."

We don't know the distance at sea, we don't have charts or anything like that, and we don't know if we reached the sea where we found the moon in the first place.

Generally speaking, you want to make a sea area very quiet, unless there is a very powerful presence in the sea that constantly exudes an aura that threatens all living things, driving away all passing fish.

After a while, without us waiting, soon there was a strange omen in the sea.

"That's?"

"It's a bit of a problem, no wonder there aren't any fish nearby."

Countless huge black shadows moved rapidly beneath the surface of the water, and all of them were moving strangely towards our ships.

The only people who can have such a body shape are sharks except sharks.

Sighing, I can't help but sigh that no matter what I do, it's so troublesome, if the power is still there, just shoot a fireball directly at the surface of the sea, and now there is no good way to disperse this group of sharks, even if Akai and I release our own breath, it won't work.

When the number of a group reaches a certain level, even if the aura of the enemy individual is strong, it cannot be directly deterred.

Therefore, it is also true to say that the power of the masses is powerful.

"Okay, instead of dwelling on that, let's think about what to do now." I looked around, and before I knew it, our ship was surrounded by a large number of sharks, and I didn't know why, could it be that there was something on our ship that attracted them? Impossible!

"It seems to me that these guys are fending off intruders who have intruded into their territory. However, it is not ruled out that there are some high-level guys behind the control, and it seems that they don't want us to enter this sea area. Akai took the bamboo bow in his hand, and the arrow was already in the string.

I nodded, "Interesting, it seems that we are lucky to be close to our destination." "Any special place has a strong guard, and this applies in any game as well as in reality.

It's like telling the enemy, 'There's a treasure here'!

Then he took out the musket from his backpack and threw it to Rutsuki.

The latter scrambled to catch it.

"Ruyue, you go to the cabin, and then increase the speed, we are going to get ready to rush." With the spear in my hand and behind my back, I became on guard. God knows if these sharks will jump out of the water into our boat in a frenzy, so let Ruyue get to a safe place first.

"But・・・・・・" Ruyue is a little reluctant, because it's just a school of sharks, although it's a little scary for her, but her self-esteem as a ship girl is still unwilling to go to a safe place, Ruyue wants to fight with us.

In front of me, my figure appeared in front of Ruyue's eyes, and my hand stroked Ruyue's hair, "It's just that I can't rest assured of your safety, even in the cabin, you can control the artillery support." ”

"Yes." Hearing this, Ruyue ran into the cabin with relief.

The six cannons mounted on the ship began to adjust their steering automatically, and the boxes placed next to each battery were loaded with shells and gunpowder, enough to last more than a whole day, so there was no need to worry about ammunition.

Turning his gaze back to the surrounding sea, countless shark fins began to move on the surface of the sea, drawing a V-shaped white splash trail.

Akai and I took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in our hearts and enter the calm state of mind of battle.

As the slightly rapid beating heart slowly returned to its normal beating rate, 100 meters ・・・・・・ 50 meters・・・・・・

A school of sharks, close to ・・・・・・

"Like the moon, full force, fire!"

With my voice, the six cannons began to show their true power.

Rumble!!! Rumble!!!!!

A huge splash of water exploded on the surface of the sea in an instant, followed by a battle atmosphere filled with gunsmoke.

"Sa, let's have a big party."

Akai's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and with the bamboo spear in his hand, he stabbed straight at the shark in the water.

I, on the other hand, held a firearm covered with blue vein runes, waiting quietly like a hunter for the approaching prey.
