*****On the high seas, on a honeycomb-like ship, in the upper 2-story pilothouse****
After Zhang Youji and his party successfully achieved the rescue goal in the huge whirlpool of the deep-sea Warcraft battle, they rescued the carrot-shaped submarine they encountered by chance from the huge tentacles of Kraken.
They have been dragging the boat on Cuiyin's side and the submarine they just rescued, led by Zhang Youji's boat, away from the huge whirlpool, back to the stormy area, and briefly communicated with each other. After a while, they started sailing in the storm again.
[Zim, how is the return of personnel? 】
[They are all back and now recuperating~, but Moni and Ling are still on the human ship. They seem to be discussing something with the rabbit? ~]
[Hmm, although I want to ask Mo Ni for details immediately, but since she just sent a contact and said that she should never call her before the matter is settled, I can only put the question aside first. It’s all behind now, what’s important now is what’s in front of you. 】
Sitting in the rest area in the wheelhouse, after confirming with Zi Mu at the helm the status of the personnel in the previous rescue operation and the situation of Moni on Cuiyin's side, Zhang Youji casually recalled that Moni had left Cuiyin before. The content of the brief communication sent by the voice over there.
And while sighing a little and giving up on pursuing some things, he moved his eyes to the very weak man who fell on the floor nearby and entered a kind of half-dream state, muttering something about the beautiful skeleton and the mermaid. On the knight.
[...Ah, ah, ah, look, I saw it. On the bridge, there is a gentle mother-in-law, waving her hand, holding a bowl of soup that seems to be delicious, and letting people drink it. 】】
【Don’t drink? ! Don’t go there either! Don't say such scary things together in a daze? ! You two, wake up! 】
[[Huh? ! 】】
I heard the two people who had completely drained their magic power due to the incident of escaping from the maelstrom and were lying on the floor trembling, speaking with a very pitiful feeling. It seemed that they saw Naihe Bridge, and carrying soup to the When they waved at Po Meng's words.
Zhang Youji couldn't help but feel a little pain in his conscience because of this familiar joke. At the same time, he immediately felt bad and used force to beat the beautiful bones and the mermaid knight out of their trance.
By the way, the reason why the beautiful skeleton became the same as the mermaid knight was because the mermaid knight did not have enough magic power when pulling the boat. Therefore, Zhang Youji, in order to protect himself, took action first. In order to force the beauty of the world, the skeleton also became a sacrifice for the power of the ship.
【ah? ! What about the mother-in-law? ! Where is the bridge? ! Wow, it hurts so much, it feels like my soul is being torn apart. 】
【Soup! Why? Where's my soup? ! Woo? ! I feel dizzy! It hurts! The body is tired and disobedient. 】
[Should I say welcome back? Anyway, you two should go to the infirmary on the ship first. I just heard Monie say that your symptoms seem to be a depletion of magic power, and even some damage to your soul? Although you can fully recover by resting slowly for a while, it is better to drink more potion just in case. 】
【【······,ah--! 】】
Seeing Beautiful Skeleton and Mermaid Knight getting up from the floor after being punched hard on the head, their consciences began to hurt in every sense of the word, and Zhang Youji regretted not adjusting his strength.
They tried to say some perfunctory words in a panic, trying to fool the lack of power when pulling the boat, but unfortunately, this made the two people immediately recall what happened before, and they shouted at Zhang Youji together. shouted.
[Is this punishment? ! What on earth did I do wrong! Zhang Youji, please tell me! 】
【What have you done! Believe it or not, I cursed you? ! By the way, I am an immortal! Skeletons! It’s strange that potion or something can be effective! Even if you drink it, it will only leak out! 】
[Then let’s switch to healing magic, and the first one to start is this beautiful skeleton, right? ! I didn't know anything at the time! Just follow her wishes! Although I do feel a little sorry for Silly Fish, at that time, I just acted preemptively to protect myself! Because of that bone, it was obvious that the second sacrifice was me! 】
【really! Those who don’t know are not guilty, and the first person to grab my arm and forcefully push it up was the beautiful skeleton! 】
[You stupid fish, do you want to help outsiders beat me? You two, do you want to put all the blame on me? ? By the way, healing magic is an attack on me! 】
([Interruption, compared to that meaningless ugly dispute, things here are more important.])
[[[···, the culprit has appeared! 】】】
Seeing that Zhang Youji, who was about to be attacked by the Beautiful Bones and the Mermaid Knight, joined forces to denounce the unfavorable situation, he immediately panicked and made an excuse for the two of them who looked like they were holding on and were about to collapse, although it was beyond his expectation. has taken effect.
But soon afterwards, during the quarrel between the three people, through the communicator held by Zim's clone who came nearby, and Moni's voice suddenly interjected, the three people looked at each other. After that, he turned into a person who shared the same hatred and shouted to Moni on the other end of the communicator.
But it was a pity that the momentum of sharing the same hatred did not last long. Beautiful Skeleton and Mermaid Knight fell to the floor again because of the residual sequelae of extracting magic power.
Zhang Youji was stunned for a moment when he saw this. When he reacted, he immediately started screaming for help, called several velvet crystal subordinates, and pulled the two people who fell on the floor and seemed to be on the verge of life and death. Transported to the ship's infirmary.
([Ignore, now that the obstructive things have been cleared away, let’s get to the point quickly. Report, we have now completed negotiations with the leader of the Raging Bunny Girls. The other party has agreed to become our companions and stay in the maze. The number of people is 201. , exactly 1 tribe.])
【Wait! It feels like you treat those two people as trash? ! By the way, what's going on? ! I am completely confused here! 】
([Explanation: There are not enough companions in the labyrinth who can negotiate with specific human countries. For example, this is the case in the Theocracy that we are about to go to. The hostility to demons, undead, demons and other monsters in the Theocracy is very serious. 】)
After receiving the magic tool similar to a walkie-talkie from Zim's clone, after listening to Moni's message from inside, she treated the two people who had just been transported out as if they were throwing away garbage and ignored the report. At that time, Zhang Youji immediately began to complain and investigate.
But Mo Ni still explained without wavering. After listening to the explanation, Zhang Youji couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression due to the lack of manpower. He subconsciously put aside the previous things and thought about it. Personnel matters.
【···, are you still short of manpower? It’s not that there are Velvet Crystals and the others, ah... From a racial perspective, we are indeed short of manpower. According to what you said, based on negotiation, we probably only have Valkyrie, Scarlet Bird, and the Ninja Faction on our side. After going out, Iroha's words seemed a bit biased in the direction of the monster, so maybe it wouldn't work, but it seems that things on the kingdom side will take some time. 】
([Absolutely, therefore, after arriving in the Theocracy with the current lineup, there will definitely be a shortage of manpower when conducting certain negotiations, so we took the opportunity to supplement specific personnel in advance.])
[Sigh, should I say that this is a Theocracy that believes in gods, or should I say that this is just racial discrimination? It’s really troublesome, huh? Speaking of which, when you and Cuiyin were in Lianhai City, they didn't seem to have much aversion to monsters or anything like that? 】
([Rebuttal, they are just different, that is, there are internal reasons. Please do not regard them as examples of humans in the Theocracy. In conclusion, for the future, companions with very subtle races like the Crazy Bunny Girl are It is necessary, so after waiting for their leader to jump over and deal with the deep-sea fish that follow, please be sure to sign a contract with that leader, because it can save a lot of trouble.])
[Is it just troublesome? ! Although I also hate trouble, eh? Jump over? Deep sea fish? 】
Zhang Youji, who had calmed down a little, understood Mo Ni's intention and briefly chatted with her about the Theocracy. He couldn't help but because of the troublesome relationship with human countries in this other world, and in the While sighing with a headache, he also accidentally expressed what he cared about.
But later, when he heard Mo Ni's sincere answer, Zhang Youji couldn't help but subconsciously put it in his mind because of Mo Ni's seemingly troublesome words, and during the loud rant, and because of some of the content in it. His gaze moved to the window of the wheelhouse.
After trying to quickly and carefully observe the stormy scenery with low visibility outside, he discovered something on the left side of the ship. It seemed that there was a very large thing moving towards him, and it moved at an extremely fast speed. The speed jumped out of the water.
At this moment, what Zhang Youji saw in his eyes was a monster that was similar to a crocodile but was extraordinarily huge. It showed its fangs wrapped with thunder and lightning and opened its bloody mouth when it bit it.
But at the same moment, Zhang Youji discovered several very fast shadows moving above the big monster.
After a while, I saw the big monster with its mouth open. It closed its mouth instantly as if it had been attacked, and fell into the sea with a huge splash.
Moreover, a few more beams of light were fired from Cuiyin's ship, which seemed to be light-attribute magic attacks, giving the big monster a finishing attack. Although Zhang Youji's current line of sight, the attack had long since stopped. The monster over there.
Instead, it turned to the moment when the monster fell into the sea, it seemed to jump over and stick to, or hit the pilothouse window. There were a total of four monsters, each wearing bunny girl costumes and having a unique appearance. The woman with rabbit ears was stunned as she didn't know how to react.
【······． 】
【···, open the window, it’s so hard, can that, let us in? I heard that there is a person named Zhang Youji here, who is our contract partner. Is that person here? 】
[Ah, um, come in, I am, but, uh, your heads seem to be bleeding, are you okay? 】
【···, it hurts a lot, but because I couldn’t find a place to get in, it was difficult to maintain balance, and I couldn’t move my hands and feet easily, so I had to use my head. 】
【······． 】
Facing the bunny girls who were stuck on the window and smashing their heads into the glass together, Zhang Youji couldn't help but stare at this, which was a terrifying scene in a sense. He froze in place speechless until one of them appeared. When the bunny girl asked like a representative.
Zhang Youji finally calmed down and gave the permission in a daze. While watching the horrifying scene of the bunny girls with massive brain bleeding, they used their heads again from outside the window to completely smash the glass and slowly crawled in. He was stunned. He asked them questions speechlessly.
But the answers from the bunny girls couldn't help but make Zhang Youji, who was in a very delicate mood now and didn't know how to complain, think about it in complete silence, how to negotiate with these bunny girls who have very subtle personalities, and why. The idea that they didn't go down slowly and enter the door in a normal way instead of banging their heads through the glass kept lingering in their heads.
