'Whew!　The sea breeze is so nice!

'And the view is beautiful!　How far the blue color extends, and the sky and the sea seem to blend together!

　Meena and her brother Silvio shout happily as the sea breeze whips them up and holds their fluttering hair.

　It's been a few minutes since they left the harbor and went out to sea, but they're still excited the whole time.

　They must be having a lot of fun seeing the sea for the first time from the boat.

　The other members of the team are smiling at them as they react to everything and seem to be enjoying themselves.

　Even Titus, who was piloting the ship, had a kind expression on his face, breaking his strong face.

''Ah!　There are people over there!

'It's true!　What's he doing?

　I look at the direction Meena is pointing at, and it looks like the kids are working on something at the rocky area.

　While the three of us were craning our necks, Eric noticed us and came to explain.

That's the village kids fishing," he said, "but they're not fish. We're not catching fish, but shellfish that stick to the rocks and seaweed that grows on the bottom. In those shallows, even small children can work well enough.

　As Eric says, if you look closely, you can see slimy green and red seaweed in the hands of children. Some boys and others seem to be demonstrating their mischievousness by ketching the girl who dislikes it.

Is that slimy stuff seaweed?

'Yeah. It's usually like that before it dries out.

　Seaweed washed ashore in the village of Koliat, which is surrounded by mountains. However, it would be the first time to see the original state of the seaweed as it is all dry.

　Meena and Silvio are looking at it with great interest.

'But I don't know how you can run around on the rocky ground and not be able to pedal. I think it's dangerous...''

Yeah.

　Running around on the rocky ground is just a dangerous activity for children and adults alike, but surprisingly, the children seem to be used to it.

The people who live in this village have grown up with the support of the sea. A rocky place like that, even a child can instantly judge the safe path and run around.

But it's a practice that is still not recommended.

　Eric says as he adds to Luna's words.

　That's right. I don't think you can get away with grazing yourself if you fall on the rocky ground.

'Hey, you can't run, it's not safe!

"Yeah.

Next time you screw around, I won't bring you to the beach.

Okay.

Hey.

　As we watched on the edge of our seats, a little girl, the oldest, stopped us from doing so.

　It was too bad for my heart to have a small child running around in such an unstable place. That's a relief to my heart, too.

'Luna, what are you doing over there?'

　As I stared at the children in a daze while thinking about this, my sister Elinora now pointed further back.

　When I looked in that direction, I saw a place where the sea was deep and dotted with large rocky areas, which was a change from the place I had just seen.

　There was a nearly naked man there, holding a long harpoon in his hand.

'Kyah!　Oh, Lord Elinora!　What are you showing me!

　Meena blushes at the sight of the near-naked man and screams as she covers him with her hands.

　But he seems to be looking exactly through his fingers to see if he's interested.

'You have a cloth wrapped around your waist, isn't that reaction an exaggeration?

　Elinora sis lets out a somewhat dumbfounded voice.

　On the contrary to Meena's initial reaction, Elinora looks quite calm. It's not that kind of a problem!

"That's not the point!　I mean, Lady Elinora, how can you be okay with that?

You'll get used to that kind of spectacle if you practice with the men.

"...when a man sweats, he takes his clothes off immediately.

　Because the quickest way to get away from the heat is to take off your clothes. In this world, manual laborers are quick to take off their clothes.

　For two people who routinely participate in training with men, they would never scream at a man's nakedness.

'Eh, eh, is that how it works?　.........It's kind of annoying that I'm the oldest and the only one who gets upset.

　I think these two are just special, and I think the normal noblewoman would be disconcerted.

'So what was that all about in the end?　Like training for an underwater warrior?

"....that's a harpoon sticker. You dive into the sea and use that long, thin harpoon to catch fish. There are demons in the sea, so you need to be a top-notch warrior to become one.

　I see. In this world, there are demons that attack people in the sea as well. Even in the unfavorable underwater terrain, if you're skilled enough to kill the demons, you'll need to have some skill. It makes sense that you need to be a top-notch fighter to become one.

"Wow, that sounds interesting.

　Sister Elinora laughs with a somewhat fearless smile on her face.

　Why do you show interest in such a dangerous thing....... As for me, I can't help but wonder.

The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a harpoon. Do you want to try it sometime?

Yeah. I'll take a look at it sometime.

Okay.

　The boat then proceeded offshore as we passed the bay area where people could see the life of the people.

　As we headed out to sea, the sea wind was getting stronger and the waves were getting stronger.

　The stronger the waves, the stronger the ship's rocking will naturally be....

I'm not sure what it is, but I feel sick to my stomach. What is this?

Maybe it's the seasickness?　Ugh, I feel sick too.

　Meena and her brother Silvio got wonderfully drunk.

　They are in a groggy state, a complete change from the way they were frolicking earlier. Their faces are pale, and they look like they can no longer even stand up.

Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to have to do it again. Are you two okay?

I'm fine. I'm not a drunk guy.

What do you mean you're fine?

　I'm the type of person who can handle motion sickness and such. That's a fact that's been proven on the long boat trip in Kagura. I don't even need to ask about Elinora's sister.

　Titus is relieved that Elinora and I don't get seasick, and he makes room for us to sit.

It's a small space, but you can sit here and rest.

　Mina and Brother Silvio nodded silently, and then, with a ghostly gait, they stepped forward and sat down.

　It's as if he's aged all at once, as if he's become an old man.

"Hey, Al. What is the meaning of this?

　As I look at the two groggy guys, sister Elinora pokes me in the shoulder and asks.

'When you're on a boat, the rocking of the waves can make you feel sick,' she says. It's just like when someone is unaccustomed to riding in a carriage and gets drunk and sick.

Oh, I see. I don't get drunk at all, so I don't know how I feel.

　In truth, it should have been a symptom of confusion caused by the misalignment of information sent to the brain from each of the ears and eyes, causing a disturbance in the autonomic nervous system.

　It was a suitably chewed up explanation, but Sister Elinora seemed to be satisfied.

　She's curious, but she's not interested in more than that.

　It's like he doesn't care what the reason is as long as he knows the result. However, Brother Silvio cares about the reason and investigates and thinks about it greedily.

　That's the main difference between Silvio brother and Elinora sister, I guess.
