I Became The Rabbit Swordsman In A Chapter 26: On The Pirate Ship

When I regained my consciousness, I was in bed, with the blanket all the way to my neck. From hearing the waves and feeling the bed shake, it seed that we ca out to the ocean even after the elf got killed.

When I looked around the surroundings, I noticed first that my hat and coat was removed and placed on top of the table. Further out, I saw Arje drinking tea wearing a comfortable pajama dress.

You are awake. I was surprised that you fainted suddenly.

From hearing that I was awake, Arje placed her teacup down and looked over at .

What about the elf? What happened to her?

I had seen to the point where the elf got a bad burn from holding my sword, and then fell into the sea after getting struck by Arjes magic, but I wanted to confirm.

I am not sure.

I could not understand Arjes reply.

You dont know? Why? Did you faint as well?

From what I last rembered, Arje had run to instead of fainting. Had she fainted right after ?

No, I did get hit by that elf, but it wasnt so bad that I fainted.

Then how co you are not sure if you didnt faint?

When I looked puzzled, Arje made an awkward expression.

Well, I was so busy looking after you that I didnt get to check what happened to the elf.

Should I be glad, or say sothing.

Still, the elf did not erge from the water after falling! Im not lying! The other sailors checked as well.

As if Arje felt that I was a parent scolding the child, she started to co up with excuses like a little child who made a mistake.

Really? Then the elf must be dead, then.

Since I never read in the novel that the elf could breathe underwater, it should be dead if it never ca back up.

Phew! I can finally relax now.

I lay in bed in a good mood. Now, I didnt have to worry about being chased and go around to look for treasures and Pucci, my original goal.

But its still too early to let our guards down. Although the elf is gone, her subordinates are still roaming around.

Arje ntioned the subordinates of the crazy elf.

Arje, they are a piece of cake, so they do not concern a little bit.

They were none of my concern.

What do you an by that?

From her question, I rose from the bed again and smiled at Arje, who seed frustrated.

Fruit flies are annoying, not sothing to be scared of!

Even if they were to chase down, I would be able to wipe them out. It was weird to worry about them.

Your confidence feels conceited, yet I cant say anything because you are often right.

Arje shook her head and then took another sip of her tea.

So dont worry about the elf flies. Lets focus on our original goal.

I rose from the bed.

Aris, you still lie down a little more, since you might not be fully recovered.

Arje suggested that I lie down a little longer, but

No, I should get up now.

I got out of bed and then checked over my body to see if I had any injuries.

Huh?

I then realized that I was also wearing a pajama dress like that of Arje.

Ah, its provided by Mary. It might be a little big for you, but thats all right since its sleepwear, right?

This also must belong to Mary. But why was I wearing this?

Why am I wearing this? Where are my clothes?

There would be no way that I would have changed myself while unconscious.

Oh, I changed you. The one you were wearing got muddy, so its drying after being washed.

Oh, I see. I guess I should be assured that I was changed by ArjeI guess?

You changed , Arje?

Yes, I did. Why?

Unlike , who was shocked, Arje just sipped on her tea as if it was nothing.

Wait. If you changed , does that an you used magic to do it easily?

It would be okay if she used magic.

What kind of a spell helps you change clothes? Of course I did it manually.

Thinking about it made blush and my ears to fold down.

Oh, I see..

I didnt know it was such an embarrassing thing to show a woman my naked body.

Why so shy, Aris? We are the sa gender!

Arje laughed at my reaction.

Im not shy, its justyou know cough.

I tried to explain myself while tapping on my ears that kept folding on their own.

It makes look like a weird person if you react that way! I didnt have any thoughts while changing you except getting jealous that your skin was really nice and soft!

Arje got embarrassed instead. True, it wasnt like a male to female exchange and Arje wouldnt know why I felt so awkward.

No, not that I thought you did sothing weird to .

I pretended to not be awkward, but

But you just did think so, right?

Arje stood up from her seat.

Arje?

Her evil smile was a little creepy.

Be ready to get punished for making a royal princess feel bad.

And with that she ran towards , and

Arje? No, stop, stop!

She started to tickle my sides. I couldnt get enough strength from how ticklish I was, so I couldn't help but stay helpless.

Im sorry! I really am!

So it was that ti when I could barely get a hold of myself from getting tickled by Arje.

Knock knock.

Soone knocked on the door politely, and then Arje got off of imdiately and coughed as if it never happened.

Yes, who is it?

Arje replied politely as if she had been sitting the whole ti.

Ha..

I thought in bed, whether the Arje I just saw was her true self, or if she had gone crazy.

Our captain says that if the bunny, I an Miss Aris, is awake, to see her inside her room.

A voice of a pirate sent the ssage.

To see Aris?

Arje looked over at .

Aris is a little busy right now.

Arje didnt seem like she was ready to let go.

No, its fine. I will be back.

But to look for at such a late hour, it must be sothing important.

Aris, are you going to go dressed like that?

Arje looked at with a surprised face. Right, I was in pajamas.

I can wear a coat over it or whatever.

I wore a coat on top. It should work.

And Aris, you wouldnt know because you just woke up, but its late. Wouldnt it be better to see her the next day?

Its okay. I will be right back.

When I got dressed, Arje just sighed that she couldnt help from going.

Well if you say so, please return safely. I will be in bed.

Arje just yawned and went over to the bed, as if she was not interested in coming along or persisting longer. I felt this from earlier, but was she sulking?

Arhe, are you upset that I reacted that way earlier?

I apologized before heading out. From her standpoint, she was just trying to help and I overreacted.

Oh, that? Pshh. I was just ssing with you. Dont worry about it.

Of course. I was glad that Arje wasnt hurt or mad at my reaction. I learned my lesson from this event to think of myself as a female body: to not think its weird when Arje changes , as I wouldnt feel awkward if a man had changed when I was a man.

Click.

I cracked open the door.

Hmm.

The sailor turned his head after seeing my attire, even though I had a coat over it.

Mary called , right? Take to her.

Ah, yes.

And so I followed the pirate to the captains deck.

Captain, Miss Aris is here.

As I waited in front of the captains room, I could feel the stares of the other pirates. Maybe it was because the pajamas were too loose?

Tell her to co inside.

And when I entered the room, there was a giant table with settings of various vegetables, greens, at and wine.

Welco, our hero! The bunny who killed the eary!

Mary looked at and smiled after pouring a glass of wine.

You have no sense of sha, I guess because you are a bunny!

Mary laughed at my attire.

What does sha have to do with being a bunny?

I sat on a nearby chair and questioned Marys comnt.

I an, its okay because I am a woman, but all the other guys are male. This is also a ship.

So?

I knew what Mary was saying, but I still pretended to be clueless.

You might get sothing to cry about if the guys go crazy.

Then Mary looked at with an exaggerated expression, as if she was trying to make a scary face. It was too funny to be frightened. Also, Mary was fine being the only female, so I should be safe, too.

Really? Then you, as the captain, should control the guys so sothing like that wont happen. Or else, your guys will cry after losing their important parts.

What a bluff.

Im not bluffing.

I really wasnt bluffing. I would really do it.

Hahaha! Thats the bunny I like. You must be hungry after waking up, right? Dive in.

Mary pushed the plate with a bunch of vegetables towards my direction.

Why is everyone so eager to feed grass?

I brought one of the steaks on Marys side over to my plate.

You eat at? Interesting.

She was definitely stereotyping my race.

Whatever, I don't think you called here to feed a late night snack. You called to ask about the treasure, right?

Mary wouldnt treat without expecting sothing.

You are quick to take a hint. As expected of soone who has killed an elf.

Mary picked up her glass with a satisfied expression.

So, where do we have to go to get the treasure?

After I finished eating a slice of steak, I ntioned the na of the place that Jarrod visited.

The treasure is located at the island of lost spirits.

Mary froze up, as expected, and she dropped her glass of wine.

I think I heard wrong. Where?

I shrugged my shoulders and repeated.

Can humans not hear well with their tiny ears? The island of l-o-s-t s-o-u-l-s.

Oh god.

Mary looked at in disbelief, but the wine was already spilled.
