Now, to the Panemo Offshore!
* * *
Now, the next morning!
The weather is clear again today!
It looks like it’s going to be hot today too!
Under such a refreshing sumr blue sky, where am I now, you ask……
“No problem.”
I’m on top of Zaratopu’s head!
Standing on the head of this friendly Great Sea Serpent, with my arms crossed…… I am advancing through the vast ocean!
Even this sea, which seed to have little wind and small waves when viewed from the cape, is a different story when going offshore.
With a loud sound of zaan, zaan, huge waves crash into Zaratopu, and the spray wets my body.
Zaratopu’s body continues to sway violently up and down.
I just said “No problem,” but Zaratopu’s ride quality itself is the worst.
However, don’t underestimate my fantasy inner ear.
I don’t feel sick at all, and my condition is perfect.
That’s why there’s “No problem.”
Now, where are we heading, you ask…… it’s the sea area that Zaratopu said was originally its dwelling.
We are going to defeat the monsters that are said to be occupying that area…… the Panemo offshore.
* * *
To summarize Zaratopu’s story from yesterday, it goes like this.
After escaping from its group, Zaratopu lived peacefully in the Panemo offshore for a long ti.
Due to the ocean currents, humans didn’t approach, and that place, which was slightly shallow and full of fish to catch, was Zaratopu’s favorite territory and a heavenly place for it.
However, recently, that situation drastically changed.
……I don’t know what a Great Sea Serpent’s complexion looks like, but probably based on the tone of its 【Telepathy】, Zaratopu said that while turning pale.
Two demons.
Giant magical beasts that rival even Zaratopu’s huge body.
Those creatures suddenly appeared in Zaratopu’s territory and started attacking it.
Originally, those two, who shouldn’t possess much intelligence, moved as if they were coordinating with each other despite being different species, and cornered Zaratopu.
Zaratopu, who was already timid and lacked confidence in fighting, beca completely frightened and abandoned its favorite territory and fled without much struggle.
And the place it ended up was that cape, causing trouble for the residents of Panemo Village.
No, I’m not interested in the information about whether it’s easy or not to live there from a Great Sea Serpent’s perspective.
Anyway, what’s important are those two giant magical beasts.
We’re going to defeat them.
That way, Zaratopu can return to its original territory.
The people of Panemo Village won’t have to be afraid of Zaratopu.
Case closed, hurrah.
I’m impressed by Zaratopu’s kindness for saying such things, but I made it stop speculating further.
I decided to help Zaratopu.
I decided to kill those two magical beasts.
The only thing behind this battle is my selfish thinking.
That’s good enough.
If anything happens, I’ll take the bla for being tyrannical or thoughtless.
Anyway, defeat them.
Kill them.
Kill them!
While being rocked by the waves on top of Zaratopu, I consciously dye my mind bright red.
* * *
Zaratopu’s 【Telepathy】 reaches my mind, which had beco a bit dazed from raising my killing intent too much.
I hurriedly regain my composure and look around, but……
“……Here?”
I can’t really tell the difference from the surrounding sea areas.
It looks exactly the sa as the sea around it.
Being told that, I brace myself again.
Since Zaratopu’s movent has ended and I don’t have to worry about wind resistance, I deploy 【Black Arms】.
“Understood.”
I reply with few words and heighten my vigilance.
Then, at that mont.
Bubble, bubble, bubble……!
Right in front of us, about a few dozen ters ahead on the sea…… large bubbles started rising from underwater and popping!
Zaratopu sends a 【Telepathy】 while making a high-pitched warning sound!
Bubble, bubble, bubble……!
Do…… paaaahn!!
Almost simultaneously, the amount of bubbles popping on the sea surface increased, and the sea surface suddenly swelled up!
“!!”
The being that leaped out of the sea with a large splash of water…… that was one of the “demons” Zaratopu spoke of!
A huge body that makes Zaratopu’s size pale in comparison…… reminiscent of a small island!
Gigantic claws that could easily tear apart even dragons……!
A blood-red, intimidating color sche……!
An extrely thick carapace that exudes a heavy presence like steel……!
Furthermore, it has nurous large barnacles clinging to it, waving their tentacles eerily……!
In a word, it’s……!
A super, giant…… shrimp!!
Extra-sama, noticing sothing upon seeing the giant shrimp, shouts!
What’s wrong!?
Do you know about this guy!?
W-What did you say!?
The legendary giant shrimp!?
The king of shrimp!?
The fishern’s nesis!?
“EBIIIIIIIIIIII!!”
Ebitouzi, while letting out a ferocious scream…… raised its giant claws high in the sky in an intimidating manner!
The shrimp of a different world…… screams!!
