246 – Fantasy here, there….

As expected, the grand duke’s class was unique.

Those who thought it was a cruise ship would just be a boat that could comfortably accommodate people.

But what appeared in front of them was a huge sailboat with only four masts.

“Wow… Are you going out on this?”

“Yes. Unfortunately, there is a larger ship than this, but the ship is currently being repaired.”

Even this is not the biggest and most flashy ship.

Once again, he could feel how great the power of the Grand Duchess of Litto Rio was.

I think I know why Elgar insisted on going south.

Since we’ve been together, everyone seems to have forgotten, but Littorio is such a great place.

So, if you are going to compete with yourself, I was telling you to take heart.

“Ummm….”

Kyle looked at Tisha and her saintess with concern.

She must have felt again what kind of family Elgar, whom she had to compete with, would become.

Tisha said she was a commoner from the beginning, so she would naturally feel the burden of her social status.

If a saintess also chooses Kyle, she will automatically give up her position as a saintess.

She is still a member of the Order, but her status is not as guaranteed as before.

In other words, neither of them is better than Elgar.

‘I wonder if he’s just feeling uncomfortable or nervous.’

I look at Tisha for now while trying to hide her worry.

“That’s amazing. Oh, if you have time, can I take a look at those sails?”

“Why is this all of a sudden? Tisha?”

“There is also a way to make things have good luck during witchcraft. It will take some time, but if I succeed, I think I can make it full of tailwinds wherever I go!”

It looks like it was raining. Rather, they are skillfully attacking gaps.

As an opportunity to further publicize the practicality of witchcraft, it is to use the family of Grand Duke Littorio.

As expected, she’s a smart woman. She’s not listening to witches for nothing.

Kyle thought so and turned her head towards her saintess.

“Awesome… It’s really great. It’s so cool! Sister Elga! I love that Sister Elgar and I are so close!”

“Ah… Is that so?”

The other side succeeded in completely breaking the hidden intentions with pure innocence.

Contrary to expectations, competitors are not at all discouraged.

I can’t help but feel a little sorry for him, but Elgar brushed it off right away.

Even if this isn’t the case, there are many areas where we can gain an edge.

“Now then, Captain. Shall we go around the sea route you mentioned earlier?”

“Okay. Princess. We will set sail.”

When the captain calls out to depart, the crew quickly move to their seats.

Sails are stretched, anchor lines are wound, and evil sounds of strength echo from all directions.

Kyle, who had been watching it, finally started to move.

“Over there. Wait.”

The place where Kyle moved her steps is the place where the sailors who operated the capstan were.

The sailors who were about to reel in the anchor line looked at Kyle in unison.

“I will do this, so go and prepare something else.”

“Yes?! No. Why do customers do this….”

“I’m not helping, I just want to do it myself.”

“No! This is not something you can do alone!”

The capstan couldn’t pull that big and heavy anchor with pure human power.

This is a device designed to achieve maximum efficiency by using a pulley.

A task that has become so easy that it cannot be compared with pure manpower.

Nevertheless, an anchor is so heavy that several people have to cling to it.

However, a customer suddenly appeared and said he would do this alone.

For sailors who have spent decades at sea, it is absurd.

“Everyone. Stop worrying and do other things.”

But with Elgar stepping out, the crew had no choice but to step back from the capstan.

Of course, I don’t think this will really work. I couldn’t take my eyes off it, though.

“Is it really necessary to come all the way here to exercise?”

Are you aware of the worries of such sailors or not?

“Of course,” Said Kyle, as Elgar said, and grabbed the handle of the capstan.

But he let out a sigh and then withdrew his hand again.

Do you think it would be impossible to do it alone? No way. No way.

“Um… It feels a bit strange.”

Kyle muttered

And headed for the deck where my luggage was.

Then he came back with something silvery and shiny between them.

“Did you bring that?”

“I feel anxious without it. Even if you don’t exercise, you must have it.”

In place of the handle was a stick that I always carried around.

This seems to be enough, Kyle says! And gave strength.

Catch up―

Then the capstan, which didn’t seem to budge, began to turn.

It’s not even just going slow. It’s getting faster.

“Uh, uh uh uh?”

“That, what kind of sight is that?”

It is a capstan that could barely turn even if several skilled sailors rushed at it.

That, that young man alone. Without shedding a drop of sweat.

It was literally spinning and spinning at breakneck speed.

What was even more surprising happened next.

“I don’t think this is a bit off. Mr. Elga.”

“Yes?”

“Because of the pulley principle, it doesn’t stimulate me too much. If that’s the case, I’ll get one.”

Said Kyle and called her crew to his side.

And after saying a word to hold on to this for a while.

“Suck.”

I started pulling the anchor line with my own hands.

“….”

“….”

What kind of monster is that, the words lingered in the mouths of the sailors.

But I couldn’t bear to get those words out of my mouth.

*

“Hiyaaa!! It’s so fast, Sister Nell!”

“That’s right, saintess. I didn’t know that this big ship could be this fast.”

“Kuhm. I think it might be because there are so many sails.”

“The wind is also a fair wind. At this speed, it seems like you can go out to sea in no time.”

The eyes of the saintess and Nell twinkle as if they were very excited.

It seems like this is the first time I’ve encountered such a huge ship or wide sea.

“You are very excited.”

At Tisha’s words, Kyle nodded her head saying that it seems so.

Leaving the harbor, the ship passed several islands in an instant and entered the real sea.

The sky is blue without a single cloud, and the sun is just right.

The waves are not very high, so no one suffers from motion sickness.

Above all, the surrounding scenery is so beautiful that you will be mesmerized by it.

“I think heaven has blessed me. It’s hard to find a sunny day like this.”

Beside her, Elgar is turning her key quite skillfully.

She says that whenever she had the time, she would come south and drive the boat.

At first it was very difficult, but now I can drive even a huge sailboat like this.

Kyle turned his eyes back to the sea, thinking that the future grand duke was doing his best.

‘It’s a bit different from my hometown. The sea there was not blue, but black.’

A place that gives you a warm and refreshing feeling like now? No.

The sea that Kyle remembers was literally like an abyss with no end in sight.

A dangerous place with ice-cold water and floating glaciers.

Some people say they worry about sharks in the sea, but North Korea didn’t have to worry about that.

Sharks must have frozen to death long ago and sank deep in the sea.

hahahaha, the people who are home to the sea! They laughed and swam day and night.

I have a fever, but I can cool it down thanks to this cold seawater.

Of course, Kyle later exclaimed, ‘As expected, cold water is the best!’

I don’t think there’s anything more unpleasant than swimming in hot water.

“… Uh. For a moment. Wait? Kyle, can you see that?”

“Yes?”

Tisha, who was looking at the horizon, suddenly points to a certain place.

Then Kyle approached Tisha, but she was nowhere to be seen.

“Why, Tisha. What did you see?”

“I must have seen something… over the horizon.”

“Isn’t it a mirage? I sometimes see something like that toward the horizon.”

Turning her key, Elga says a word as if passing by.

There was definitely a high chance of that, and the captain who was beside her also supported Elgar.

“Ah… is that so? I’m sorry, Kyle. I think I was wrong.”

“Nothing to say sorry, Tisha. A mirage is a natural phenomenon. How can man see through nature’s tricks? How many times have I been fooled? Right, captain?”

“The princess is right. It’s not something Tisha-sama should apologize for.”

Unbeknownst to her, she is Elgarda, who manages her allies very well.

Thanks to that, Kyle just laughed and shrugged her shoulder once.

“… Uh?”

But after a while. Tisha parted her lips again, pointing toward the horizon.

“Hey, hey! Kyle! It’s real this time! Really!”

Maybe she saw a mirage again, trying hard to hide her desire.

Kyle’s response to Tisha’s words was, ‘Why is that?’ She turned her gaze to the horizon.

And there, again, there is a mirage….

“… A mirage, I don’t think so. That. Mr Elga. Look at that.”

“What is it?”

After handing over her keys to her captain, Elgar comes right next to Kyle and scans the horizon.

“Uh…. Sure, something… Is there? What is that?”

First of all, it looks like a ship. However, the sail, which should be located, is not visible.

Instead, what was sitting on top of the ship was black smoke.

‘… Wait a minute.’

Leave Elgar and Tisha, who responded that they didn’t know what that was at the moment.

What about Kyle? He sighed and looked at the object again.

‘That… Maybe it’s a steamer?’

This is such a ridiculous situation all of a sudden. By the time you think

This time on the deck over there. Alas! The saintess burst out in admiration.

“Brother Kyle! Over there, there are people flying around!”

This is an absurd statement. That people are flying

Are you saying there’s a wizard nearby? But flying magic is a very high difficulty magic, right?

Kyle hurriedly ran to her saintess and looked up at the sky.

I really saw something that looked like a person flying in the sky.

It looks like he’s wearing a flight suit.

It could be that the magic stone is the source of flight when you can feel the magic even faintly.

‘What kind of situation is this again, what the hell.’

Romance fantasy. So if this world was pure fantasy itself.

Anyway, those who suddenly appeared seemed to be people who had science grafted onto fantasy.
