Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 265

 

Wind



There is a thief


But this situation was similar.


"""Ah……"""


There were people in the Dragonica cafeteria who weren't supposed to be there.


Three people.


"Why are you guys here!"


Wince shouted in a voice that echoed through the entire cafeteria.


Her words are filled with anger and surprise.


There was Miriu, Giran's son and the next emperor.


Gallus and Merell, Shisu's sons.


"It's an adventure!"


"There are many things that sensei have not taught me yet, so I would like to accompany you on this voyage as an opportunity to learn them......"


"I couldn't help my intellectual curiosity!"


Three different excuses are given by each of them.


No, that's not even an excuse.


"Isn't it good, Wince?"


Tenrei defends all three.


"Think calmly. This airship is protected by 26 battleships, and what's more, this ship is also strong. Furthermore, with us, there will be no safer journey than this."


But Tenrei's words were not convincing.


Could you at least tell her that after putting away the gold in your hand?


"Gold is a good thing. Even Shiro likes my blonde hair, right?"


"Yeah, that doesn't matter right now."


For now, the bribe will be confiscated.


I talked to Yukikaze on the bridge using the sound tube.


"Yukikaze, can we go back to the Empire now?"


"It's impossible. The sun will rise soon. We'll soon be able to see the center."


The fact that they showed their face at this timing suggests that they understood.


"If you get in my way, I'll throw you in the brig!"


"""Thank you very much!"""


That's not the part to say thank you!




---------




Shiro, Wince, and Tenrei headed out to eat.


Meanwhile, Sedona and I are on the bridge, just looking ahead.


"Yukikaze"


"No."


"I haven't said anything yet."


I'm against it because I know what she wants to say.


"I'd like to eat too, you know?"


"No, you will be eating with me."


Even I want to go out to eat.


But not everyone who can serve as a captain can leave the bridge vacant.


And it's lonely to be in charge alone.


"I don’t think anything will happen, though?"


"It is necessary because we can't say something won't happen."


And that [something] happened immediately


"What? The indicator... Captain!"


"What's going on?"


"The indicator is not responding properly. The direction and speed are unstable!"


"Communicate to the 26th ship Alsviz! Ask the wyverns to confirm it!"


I designed the indicator.


That's why I know these unusual readings when I see them.


Our speed is dropping rapidly.


The direction is not stable and it is swaying to the west and east.


But the ship is not shaking.


It just looks like it's going straight


"Confirmation from the wyverns!"


"Read it aloud!"


"There's something wrong with the wind. It's blocking the way like a wall!"


"A wall? The wind?"


"I have a message from Alsviz! They're trying to force their way through at the head of the line!"


"Tell them to stop immediately if there is any burden!"


After communication, one ship that cut off the connection goes out in front of Dragonica


It's moving forward as fast as it can, but it's shaking from side to side as if it's sliding in front of a wall.


"Tell Alsviz to abort."


"Copy that!"




----------




In the end, we couldn't find a way out of the wind.


I decided to retreat and regroup.


"H-huh?"


Then I noticed something unusual in the sky.


"Yukikaze... here... where?"


The position of the sunrise was different.


It was a few degrees off from where I usually see it.


"We were swept away to the east! In such a short time!"


"I'll go check the sky with the wyverns!"


"Please! But don't go to a position where you can't see the airship! We don't know what's going to happen!"


There's not even an islet around us.


We completely lost track of where we were.


"Captain... can we go back?"


"Don't worry. At night, we can tell by the position of the stars."


But that doesn't mean we can't do something during the day.


It's just morning, so we must act as best we can.
