Chapter186: Quarrel
Landing the airship in the wilderness with the ruins in the distance.
"How many magic stones are left?"
"Less than 20%. We can't even go out to sea with this."
I hate myself for my lack of foresight.
Based on the results of the test flight in Berdreich, I had prepared the amount of magic stone that would allow us to fly to the center of the continent.
I had expected to be able to fly continuously for at least three months.
But it didn't work out that way.
After about five days on the sea
Suddenly the weather began to change.
The wind gusts were so strong that it was difficult to control the airship's altitude.
So we had to use a lot of magic stones to force our way.
So we ran out of magic stones to get to the center.
But if we hadn't used them there, we would have crashed.
So I made excuses as it couldn't be helped.
Furthermore, the gust of wind damaged various parts of the airship
Repairs were needed.
In the midst of everyone's anxiety, we finally found land.
It's the Kingdom of Geldaria.
Luckily, we were able to meet the Queen and were given permission to stay.
Now we just need to fix it up and fly away again.
This time toward the center.
"Yukikaze-sama, please look here."
The staff unfold the map we received from Geldaria.
"There's a forest around here. It might be useful for replenishing magic stone."
"If there are monsters, that is. We'll just have to pray. How's the hull repair going?"
"Fortunately, no parts have fallen off. We can fix it by tapping it."
"Please. Shisu!"
I call Shisu that is working outside.
"Yes, what is it, Mother?"
"I'll leave you in charge of this one. I'll take about 20 people and go hunt in the forest."
"I understand. I want fresh meat, as well as the magic stone."
"If there is anything that looks edible. Chief Engineer, please assist Shisu."
"Leave it to me!"
----------------
Saying that, Mother took 20 people for a few days.
Nine people, including myself, are single-mindedly hitting the bent parts to fix them.
"Ouch, ouch. Shisu, my back hurts already, you know?"
Corus puts her hand on her hip and complains.
"You can take a rest."
"Eh~, can you give me a massage?"
"I'm too busy to do it. Why don't you ask Harper?"
"I don't like it. I'm sure I won't be able to move. What is that Harper doing anyway?"
"She's working with the chief engineer on the power reactor."
"Hmm, why don't you take a rest, Shisu?"
"There's more work to do."
"I think it's best if you take it easy, don't you?"
Saying that, Corus clung to me from behind.
"Wait. I can't work."
"I don't care. It's not good to overdo it, sniff*...why does Shisu smell so good?"
She's really just in the way...
"Look out!"
"Uhya!"
A knife flew at me and Corus
The knife that I dodged pierced deeply into the ground
"Ohohoho!!! I'm so sorryyy!"
I hear Harper screaming in the distance
"What the hell are you doing!?"
Corus yells back at Harper.
"My hand slipped!"
"It obviously didn't slip and were aiming at me!"
My head hurts
"Shisu-sama, can I have a minute?"
"What is it?"
The staff speaks
"It's about time you chose one or the other, right?"
"Choose what?"
"Which one of them is going to be your official wife?"
"Eh… Is it definite to choose between the two?"
And what do you mean by, official wife?
Is marriage a definite matter?
"It's time to make up your mind. The fight between those two is a fight for Shisu-sama's official wife."
"That's just like Father!"
"I don't know about Shiro-sama, but isn't that something you'll be proud of?"
Impossible!
I'm not a hero like Father
"Even though being a hero's child is a heavy responsibility, two wives will crush me."
"Good luck with that. If you have to choose one or the other, they're definitely going to kill each other, right? Also, Shiro-sama has three wives, so I say it's still light."
It's heavy!
Even two wives are heavy enough.
"Shisu-sama! Shisu-sama! There's trouble!"
"What now!"
"Look over there! The sky!"
"The sky?"
I looked at the sky in the direction he said.
There was a flock of birds flying overhead.
"What is that?"
"The other guys are checking on the lookout right now!"
When I looked over the watchtower, I saw a staff looking into the distance.
I can see the impatience on his face and he's screaming at us
"Military! Armed soldiers are coming this way!"
"All men prepare to engage in hand-to-hand combat! Don't let them get too close to the ship!"
Arrows are raining down on the airship.
"Shit! Take cover! Use the airship as a shield!"
"Shisu-sama! That's...!"
"We will just fix the ship! The top priority is not to die!"
"...Understood!"
Only nine of us. How long can we hold them?
"Oi, oi, isn't that the flag of Geldaria!"
"What? Why!"
A military commander shouts from the distance, firing arrows at us.
"Surrender quietly, give us your airship, and we won't kill you!"
Saying that
"You mean we've been deceived?"
"What they're doing is no different from being a bandit."
"Aren't bandits better?"
There is no change in the fact that both are below shit
"They say they won't kill us, but I don't want to let Harper-sama and Corus-chan get caught."
"They're definitely going to take the two, right?"
That's right
I can say that they are peerless beauties.
"And we can't give them Shisu-sama, who's going to be my husband."
"Me too!"
"I can tell by the look on that Commander's face. He definitely like's men."
"We must keep Shisu-sama to ourselves!"
I don't have a choice, do I?
"Come on, the three of you should go to Yukikaze-sama."
"Don't be absurd. I can't leave you guys behind."
In the midst of this non-negotiable conversation with the staffs, a scream is heard.
It came from the Geldaria army.
Human beings are blown away in the distance
Human parts are blown off.
Blood sprays so thick you can see it from a distance
And then, just when you think the screams have died down a bit...
Then a few bolts of lightning struck.
When the ringing in my ears from the lightning had subsided
The screams had completely stopped.
There was a large pool of blood where the army had been
In the center of it stood someone with a large sword.
