Chapter 43
We are having a barbecue on top of the RV.
The meat is the tuna I fished(?) yesterday.
We had sus.h.i.+ yesterday as planned, but although s.h.i.+ro is a great glutton she couldn’t finish it all so I preserved some meat with〈Pinnacle of Storage〉.
Because the time stops in the storage, it didn’t lose any freshness.
「Un, delicious」
There are parts with a lot of fat which got insanely greasy after cooking so I prefer eating it raw.
In spite of being a dragon, s.h.i.+ro is eating in silence without stopping, she discriminating against food. Still, I have a feeling that most of the 50-meter tuna disappeared in her stomach over the two days……
The Demon Continent is still far away, the sea spreads as far as I can see.
Because the weather continues to be nice all the time, the waves are calm too.
We filled up our stomachs and set up beach chair’s on the RV’s roof to relax.
「Gefu. Satisfied. Sleep」
s.h.i.+ro who ate the portion for ten mutters in satisfaction and lies together with me selfishly. She undressed without us noticing again, but it has become a usual occurrence already so Tira doesn’t tsukkomi anymore.
「Swim~!」
「Hey, there are monsters, it’s dangerous」
Filia who changed into her swimsuit jumps into the sea and Ellen follows her in panic.
Just a while ago, a Fishman monster, Gillman appeared, but Filia kicked it flying without noticing.
So peaceful.
However, we could only peacefully enjoy the afternoon.
「Are, isn’t that a s.h.i.+p?」
Tira points towards the northeast.
「Certainly, it’s a s.h.i.+p」
A considerably big s.h.i.+p sails through the sea.
Considering its course, it will directly crash with our vehicle.
By the way, the s.h.i.+p has a raised flag with a skull drawn on it.
Un, horribly easy to understand pirate s.h.i.+p.
According to〈Pinnacle of Information〉, this is a s.h.i.+p belonging to Soil pirates, a quite well-known group of pirates.
I was just looking for something to kill time with.
「Quite good-looking women got on」
We were restricted by ropes and taken on the pirate deck.
「Hou, these will sell for a lot. However, how did this mostly female group trespa.s.s in our, the Soil pirate
The one rudely appraising us is a captain of these pirates who is surprisingly a woman in her mid-twenties.
She’s quite tanned, but she certainly has quite a charm, she’s a beauty.
「In the first place, that thing, what’s that? It doesn’t look like a fis.h.i.+ng boat」
The female captain points at our RV and asks.
「It’s Recreational Vehicle」
「Recreational……?」
She asks again with a curious expression. Maa, that’s natural.
「I don’t understand well, but it smells of treasure. Oi, let’s retrieve it first」
「Rogerssu!」
One of the pirates answers vigorously at the female captain’s orders.
「Also, throw these fellows into the prison. They are precious merchandise. Don’t go injuring them to your liking」
「Ussu!」
「…… Only you don’t look like a valuable merchandise, I will have a chat with you later」
The female captain brings her face close to me licks her lips.
Seriously? I’m extremely looking forward to it.
I had expectations for a bit, but it didn’t look comfortable after checking with〈Pinnacle of Prediction〉so I will have to refuse.
「Ne~ Papa. Is it the time already?」
Filia is restlessly fidgeting. Ellen too.
「Yes, it is」
「Wa~i! Ei!」
Together with a lovely shout, buchin, Filia snaps the rope restricting her.
「「「Eh……?」」」
The pirates are dumbfoundedly looking at the rope which shouldn’t be so easily snapped.
「Really, who was the one who tied her up with such fragile rope」
「T, that shouldn’t be the case, I think! I used a proper solid rope!」
「Then, there’s no way she would get out of it so easily. Oi, quickly restrict her again」
「Rogerssu!」
The pirates approach Filia to restrict her again in a hurry.
「Ta~!」
「Bube!?」「Gya!?」「Guo!?」
But, the robust seamen were easily blown off to the sea by Filia.
「It certainly is fragile」
「Fun, don’t think you can restrict me with something like that」
「…… N」
Following Filia, I, Ellen and s.h.i.+ro tear the ropes apart.
Only Tira is remaining.
「…… Excuse me, I’m but an ordinary person so I think it’s impossible for me, but…… tte, are? It may be surprisingly easy……? Nn……」
Tira’s face turns red from straining herself.
「おOh, that strained face is somehow refres.h.i.+ng and cute. However, if you strain so much you will let out a ga.s.s」
「Ei, don’t say such strange things!」
Together with tsukkomi, buchi, she snaps the restricting rope. As expected of my Tsukkomi heroine.
「Hey, what are you doing? Oi, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you can hurt them a bit, so quickly recapture them!」
「「「Ou!」」」
The pirates pull out the swords from their waists. In total…… about two hundred people.
That’s that, so we begin a light after meal exercise.
