Chapter 393 - Episode Thirty-Nine - The King of Destruction (2)

“Abel, Abel! Stay with me!”

Mea has tears in her eyes and touches my shoulder.

I slowly put my hands on my neck and try to catch my breath.

“I-It’s okay, it’s okay ……”

I reply with all the strength I can muster.

I’m not sure what to do, but I’m not sure what to do.

“Ple-Please wait a minute! Mea will go get the ship’s doctor!”

I grabbed Mea’s arm as she tried to walk away.

“…… I think Julem is after you right now. It is also possible that Peter is turning the “Amor” sorcerer against you. Stay as close to me as you can.”

Amor is an extremist group of the Kudor Church, shadowed by Peter.

They may come to punish me for leaving without permission, or they may come to assassinate Mea that Count Julem is after, based on Kudor’s story.

“Abel …… but, but ……!”

“No, you’re just seasick …… You look like the end of the world like that. Abel-chan and Mea-chan are both overreacting …… Don’t embarrass the ship’s doctor too much.”

Shame, who was passing by, said in disgust.

“But, but, Abel looks like he’s about to die ……!”

“…… Wasn’t he always that white?”

“No, of course not! Abel has always been fair-skinned, but look, he’s turning a little pale! He’s turning pale!”

“U-Uhh, really? He has an unhealthy complexion to begin with, so ……”

Shame nodded her head.

“Shame-san, please! Mea will look after Abel, so please go and get the ship’s doctor for him! If you don’t hurry, Abel will, Abel will!”

“I’m not calling him though……”

“Why not? Abel looks like he’s in so much pain!”

…… I never thought I’d be this weak on a boat.

I’ve always ridden an Orem, and I’ve also ridden a carriage in my own way.

The carriages in this world are faster because the horses have a much higher level of physical strength than in my previous life, but the roads are not paved, so they sway a bit more.

Is it a mental problem?

Maybe I’m a little tired because I’ve been traveling a lot since I left the Fage territory I’ve been used to living in for a long time, and I’ve also been mentally exhausted from meeting the people from my hometown that I escaped from.

I was so engrossed in playing with the magic circle that I hadn’t slept properly last night, and that might have been a factor.

“It’ll be easier if you throw up~”

Shame leaned forward and approached me, moving his hands suspiciously.

Mea dared to stand in front of it.

“Ple-, please stop! Abel really, really, look like he’s in pain right now!”

…… I’m glad to see that both of you are enjoying it.

“That’s right. I have a favor to ask you, Abel-chan.”

Shame’s expression and posture changed.

“Please ……?”

Shame clasped her hands together.

“Yes, please. You know, Abel-chan, didn’t you say you picked up that devil’s stone? I’m a little curious about it, so can I take a closer look?”

“…… That, huh.”

I’m talking about Sim, who was petrified by the curse.

…… Nevertheless, the only reason I was able to get away with that was because he was an idiot inside, but he was a dangerous man who had been stalking Gizel for a long time, looking for an opportunity to use her.

“I-, isn’t that a little dangerous? It’s not that good thing, you know, It’s not that beautiful either.”

“I didn’t tell you, but the truth is, I’m pretty confident on dealing with demons. Okay? Abel-chan, you’re the type of person who prefers something a little dangerous for the sake of curiosity, so you understand how I feel, right?”

Shame smiles wickedly.

“I understand that very well, but ……”

…… Rather than that, It’s surprising that the word “dealing with demons” came out of Shame’s mouth.

She had such vitality and a wide range of connections that it was a wonder she was originally a low-grade adventurer, so I suspected she was hiding some kind of real job, but I guess it had something to do with that.

“Okay? It’s alright if it’s just in front of Abel-chan, please! I’m asking for a lifetime request!”

It was unusual for Shame to ask me like this.

She’s our benifactor, so I’d like to do it If I can.

Shame is pretty solid, and if she says she’s confident, she’ll be fine.

“Well, I guess that’s okay.”

I fumbled in my pocket and threw the Sim stone at him.

Shame catches it with both hands.

“Nn~, thank you, Abel-chan.”

“…… Abel, for someone who was so cautious, you’re treating it very poorly.”

“Well, It’s not like it can do something just because I threw it.”

I smiled bitterly.

“Whoa!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shame swung her arm outward from the ship, holding the Sim stone.

“Shame!?”

“Just kidding.”

Shame laughs and opens her hand.

The Sim stone was held firmly in her palm.

I was surprised, and for a moment I really thought she was going to throw it.

“It’s just that the way he was talking to Abel-chan was really irritating, and it kind of pissed me off.”

Shame flexed her thumbs and poked at the Sim stone as he placed it in her palm.

It’s true that Sim was a jerk.

He had a terrible sense of harm towards humans.

For a while after that, Mea and Shame were discussing what to do once they arrived in the Galshard Kingdom.

But I was not feeling well, so I mainly listened to the two of them talking on the side.

On the way, I was advised by Shame that I should look farther away because it would be worse if my vision was shaken, so I was gazing at the sea and the sun.

Suddenly, I saw something in the distance.

There was something splashing in the distance, heading straight for us.

Was it a demon? If so, I have a duty to fight back with magic.

“…… Huh, is something running at the top of the sea?”

My hazy consciousness suddenly became clearer.

It was approaching at a tremendous speed, and it was clearly running at a terrifying speed over the ocean.

As it approached to some extent, I finally realized that it was a human being wearing a dark cloak.

It had rough dark blue hair and a shining blue crystalline stone on its forehead.

Two curly horns extended from his head.

On his back was a large spear.

“D-Doom tribe ……?”

Unbelievably, it kicked the surface of the water and jumped up.

It was the height of flight, if you can call it that.

It was clearly not a leg-power of the human category.

It landed in the middle of the ship, easily penetrating the floor and falling into the interior.

After that, the floor a little to the side shattered, and a large man jumped up from below.

“What the hell is that guy ……”

In the past, when the Doom tribe attacked, there was absolutely no such guy.

Dafne also had the air of a first-class warrior, but this man was not of that caliber.

He was a beast, or rather a monster.

“A-, an attack! Is it the Pirates!? Where the hell did they come from!?”

“Where’s the sorcerer guarding us?”

“This is insane! What the hell are we supposed to do!”

The ship instantly erupted in a storm of screams.

“My name is Melzef. I have no reason to harm you. But the Red Stone is supposed to be on the ship. You should not try to protect her, because then I might have to sink all of you to the bottom of the sea.”

The large man said in a low voice.

The words were too persuasive.

“M-, Mea, who is that?”

Mea looked at the large man who called himself Melzef with a stunned look on her face.

Her face had gone pale.

“I-It’s father……”

“Father!?”

I looked at Melzef again.

He had tousled hair and a dignified beard.

He has thick arms that seem to specialize in destroying things, and a stern face.

He was an impressive man with a vicious set of eyes that could really kill a small animal if you stared at him.

“M-, Mea takes after her mother, huh.”
