*****On the sea surface of the kingdom, on the honeycomb-like ship, in Zhang Youji’s exclusive dormitory on the upper third floor****
On the second day of the sea journey, Zhang Youji was severely hit by his conscience after confirming the status of Valkyrie and the others, or more precisely, their titles.
After a night of tossing and turning in bed, he finally fell asleep for a while and woke up at around 1 p.m. that day.
【·······Well, my sleep was still the same, not that good. By the way, the heavy rain outside hasn’t stopped yet? ..., I don’t know what’s going on with Cuiyin and the others, but anyway, I’d better go find someone to ask about the situation first. 】
Zhang Youji lazily got up from the bed and muttered to himself with an expression that clearly didn't sleep well. At the same time, he noticed that the scenery outside the window was still the same as last night. Zhang Youji finished telling his story. After thinking about it, he put on a serious expression and arranged his clothes appropriately while worrying about Cuiyin's situation.
Slowly getting down from the bed, he suddenly noticed that he seemed to be Zhang Youji, who had slept on the bed with his shoes on. After looking back at the stained sheets and the lifted quilt, he felt a little frustrated. , thinking about what happened last night, started to walk towards the door.
[···, Speaking of which, it seems that I was thrown into bed by Shinran last night, and then because of those titles that shocked my conscience, I completely covered up other things. Wow, I always feel a little bit sleepy with my shoes on. Something's wrong, wow? ! 】
[[[Lord Queen Bee, starting from today, we were sent by Lord Jing Jing to temporarily serve as members of the Queen Bee Guard Team! Feel free to give us orders! 】】】X12
【Aha--? ! 】
Tangled up in some insignificant things, Zhang Youji lazily opened the door and was about to leave. Because of the 10 poisonous bee elite guards and 2 queen bee elite guards standing outside the door, A total of 12 humanoid bees send out greetings.
Zhang Youji couldn't help but shouted out dumbfounded at first, and then at a loss. When he came to his senses for a while, Zhang Youji, who was once again struck by his conscience in a sense as soon as he got up, started to have a headache. Covered his head.
【Woo! It's early in the morning, no, now is the time to have completely overslept. Forget it, let's not talk about the feeling that my conscience is about to be broken. Now I should prioritize confirming the situation on Cuiyin's side. 】
[Lord Queen Bee, do you want to know about those humans who led the way? Do you need us to immediately send out a few team bees to help you inquire with the bees on duty? 】
[Also, Lady Moni left a message asking you to go to the pilothouse on the upper 2 floors of this ship when you wake up. 】
After hearing Zhang Youji talking to himself as if to stabilize his mental state, two of the 12 humanoid bees, the queen bee elite guards, came forward to try to answer Zhang Youji's questions and tell them. proposals and messages.
Zhang Youji, whose conscience ached and was a little confused, couldn't help but care about Mo Ni's message after hearing the words of the two elite queen bee guards in front of him.
[Wait a minute, put aside those who are sending people to ask questions. What’s going on with Mo Ni’s message? By the way, where is the wheelhouse? ! 】
[We have been guarding here since early today. We don’t know the details. When Lady Mo Ni came over in the morning, she didn’t say much else. 】
[However, we are completely familiar with the route on this nest and on this ship. If we want to go to the wheelhouse, do we need to lead the way? 】
[Did you just say nest? Sure enough, compared to a ship, this is just a honeycomb, right? 】
[Sir Mo Ni said this is a ship, so this is a ship. Listening to the previous chat between Master Rongjing and Master Moni, this ship does not have a name yet. I hope to find an opportunity in the future to let Queen Bee name it. 】
[It’s definitely Moni who is being tough, right? ! Just call it the cellular number! Sigh, my head is getting more and more painful. Anyway, I'm asking you to lead the way. Since it's Mo Ni's message, I guess that guy has already anticipated what I will do first when I wake up, and then prepare some things in advance. . 】
When Zhang Youji listened to the answers of the two elite queen bee guards in front of him, not to mention the one in front, he asked back with a very headache and dumbfounded response to the suggestion of the one in the back that seemed to have leaked something. , Zhang Youji couldn't help but feel that she had exposed some of the inside stories about this honeycomb-like ship.
After yelling like a complaint, he gave up pursuing some things because of the increasing pain in his head, and prepared to let the queen bee escort team composed of a total of 12 humanoid bees in front of him start to lead the way to Moni The place in the message is gone.
*****On the sea surface of the Kingdom, on a honeycomb-like ship, in the upper 2-story pilothouse****
After that, it took about 15 minutes. Under the guidance of the Queen Bee Guards, Zhang Youji, who originally wanted to relieve his headache and conscience pain, looked left and right on the road and passed many intersections before arriving at the wheelhouse. When in front of the door.
Zhang Youji couldn't help but feel more and more troubled by the complicated route to the wheelhouse on the upper 2 floors. He opened the door of the wheelhouse and while complaining loudly, he came to the wheelhouse with the Queen Bee escort behind him. among.
[Really, what’s going on with the route here? It's easy to find places like guest rooms, but why is it so difficult to find the way to the wheelhouse? It's Zim who is driving the ship? ! ? ! ? ! 】
While walking into the wheelhouse and complaining, Zhang Youji couldn't help but wonder because he saw Zim who was in the form of a girl in the wheelhouse and was steering the wheel, and five Zim who were also in the form of a girl and seemed to be helping. Mu separated, and after being stunned for a while, he shouted in surprise, attracting the attention of the Zim.
【Huh? Driving a boat is fun, right? Because Zim can't go into the water, he has to learn to sail a boat if he wants to cross the sea. Also, the seafood is delicious~. 】
[Ah, well, I don’t object to the delicious seafood. I don’t know about farming in the maze, so that’s wrong! What on earth is Moni thinking? ! If Zim is allowed to sail the ship, there won't be any problems, right? ! 】
Zim and her clones, who seemed to be very interested and focused on sailing, noticed Zhang Youji's voice, and Zim's main body responded feebly, unintentionally leading Zhang Youji's thoughts astray. However, Zhang Youji, who quickly noticed something was wrong, immediately shouted.
But at this moment, it was not Zim who answered, but a black object next to Zim. A voice came from nearby and began to answer for Zhang Youji.
([Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang Youji, this child unexpectedly accepted the operation of the boat very quickly. Even Ms. Mo Ni was very surprised and agreed with the matter of letting this child take the helm.])
【? ! Is this voice Veroniel's? Where did it come from? 】
[It came from the box that Moni left here, and asked Zim to keep in communication with the ship in front of her at any time~. 】
【ah? Box? By the way, isn't this a modified version of a walkie-talkie? ! 】
([Hehe, this magic tool really helped a lot. After all, in this kind of weather, it is very difficult to maintain communication between ships. I was saved last night thanks to it. Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Zhang Youji.])
【Well? last night? ···Speaking of which, although I remember letting Mo Ni and Ling go over last night, is there really no problem with you guys? ! 】
When Zim saw Zhang Youji listening to Veroniel's voice and looking around, while saying the reminder, she temporarily left the helm and turned on a nearby magic tool similar to a walkie-talkie. Passed it to Zhang Youji's hand.
She watched Zhang Youji talking to Veroniere over the walkie-talkie about last night's events. After roughly confirming that she had nothing to do with her, Zim returned to the matter of sailing the ship with great interest. I continued to learn some things related to sailing while doing it.
[Why, it feels like there is some kind of expert-like atmosphere coming from Zim who cannot be disturbed. Forget it, let’s not mention it for now. Veroniere and Zim didn’t cause you any trouble, did they? 】
([Hehe, I can only say that it feels like taking care of a child who keeps asking questions. I really didn’t know before that the extremely vicious and evil eating slime is such a cute creature.])
[I don’t know what other bad-eating slimes are like. Then, what happened to you last night? 】
([To put it simply, the ship almost sank, right? If Ling-sama and Moni-sama had not come to help us in time and braved the violent storm outside to install many parts on the ship, Cuiyin and I would have We must have perished and become fodder for the monsters in the sea. On second thought, if you had not come with us, maybe we would have died here directly.】)
[Ugh, in this scene outside, an ordinary ship really feels like it can't hold up. I really don't know how long this storm, which looks and feels bad, will last. 】
Zhang Youji took the walkie-talkie from Zim and watched her return to the helm. Zhang Youji, who exuded a certain air of not being disturbed, used the walkie-talkie in his hand to briefly chat with Veronie about Zim and yesterday. After what happened to Veronille that night, Zhang Youji couldn't help but look at the frightening storm outside the window of the wheelhouse, and subconsciously expressed his feelings.
Veroniere, who was about to agree with Zhang Youji's words later, couldn't help but made a very uncomfortable sound like she wanted to vomit due to the bumps of the waves, which made Zhang Youji start to worry about her. Case.
【Hello? Are you okay over there? By the way, if you listen carefully, why does it seem like the sound of waves is all over your place? 】
([Well, because the waves on the sea are very big now, if Lord Suzu hadn't volunteered to stay here and use some recovery magic unique to the fairy tribe from time to time for us, this bumpy feeling of encountering big waves on the sea would have long ago. It has made our life worse than death. Now I still have the energy to sail the boat and talk to you, also because of the effect of the recovery magic, but even so, I still have a strong feeling of dizziness.])
[Really, Ling is helping you there now, huh? A bumpy feeling? I don't feel anything at all? 】
([It must be thanks to the magic tools set up by Lady Moni. Frankly speaking, I am very jealous of your environment now, to the point where I even want to encourage Cuiyin and the others to become stowaways together. 】)
[Is that necessary? ! It would be a big deal if the patrolling bees underneath them discovered you smuggling in without knowing it! You guys can come over if you want, at least I won't have any objections, or else I can ask Moni to install something for you to avoid the bumpy feeling. 】
([If possible, I hope you can ask Lady Moni to help solve the turbulence problem on our side as soon as possible. After all, we have a wounded person here who is very afraid of you, and Lady Moni also said that this storm The situation is much worse than expected, and it seems that it will not disperse so easily.】)
[Indeed, it is clearly daytime now, but the scenery outside is still very dark. It seems that we will have to sail in this kind of weather for a while in the future. 】
After Zhang Youji learned about the situation on Veroniere's side and briefly chatted with her over the walkie-talkie about the situation and status of her side, he listened to Zhang Youji's very headache and nerve-wracking voice, and changed a few words. Veroniere, who was in a gloomy atmosphere, chatted with Zhang Youji about the weather after finishing her request.
Zhang Youji couldn't help but start to look outside through the window. It was clearly daytime, but it was as dark as a storm at night. He expressed his current feelings in a voice that was filled with headaches and troubles and was rarely serious. In this storm on the sea, he continued his journey to the Theocracy.
