Chapter 247 – Since Then… From Now On

— See you later!

After saying goodbye to my friends, who vowed to meet again, Tre’ainar and I set off for the world again.

How long has it been?

『What is it?』

“No, it’s just… I wonder how long it has been since our ‘new journey’…”

Tre’ainar, my teacher, my partner, and the existence I shared my body with.

When he heard my words, he smiled as if a little dumbfounded…

『Erm… same as ‘last time’, tis still only been about three hours.』

“Ubeyeee, das ma bad~, ship swaaay… uubey…”

『Weakling…』

Ah…… it’s still about that much.

The sun had already set and the moon was rising in the sky, but it was still “today”.

The sea is still and quiet, and in every direction, there is an endless dark sea.

“I never thought a ship could rock so much…”

The only way to reach another continent was to cross the ocean.

It would have been easier if the Prince had sent me by Pegasus, but in the end, I had no choice but to board a regular ship from that port.

I was on a ship with a few dozen people, including merchants, tourists, and people dressed like they were returning home.

I was completely overcome with seasickness, and fallen down on the deck at night.

I was fine on the fishing boat when I I invaded the Heavenly World from Cacretale… tte, that thing was flying…

Still, it’s pathetic…

“Damn… as a kid, when I rode on a trip, it didn’t shake this much… isn’t this ship too shabby?”

『Tis not that much, this is normal, common even.』

The ship was a reasonably large ship that was headed for another continent, it wasn’t a luxury cruise ship that would be used by Royalty and aristocrats in the Imperial City, but a ship with a simple and old-fashioned feel.

Well, that port itself wasn’t that big, so it seems that this is reasonable, but…

“Hey, there, brother, have you thrown it all out yet?”

“Dahahahaha, be careful! A man who can live in the sea is a man among men!”

“Once you’ve got it out of your system, go to the room and get some rest!”

The rugged sailors, who didn’t know me, teased and laughed at me.

On the ship I rode with my parents, all the sailors were well-groomed like knights, there was also a skilled chef, and they were all polite, and even though I was just a kid, they were all polite and respectful, and bowed their heads to me. But now… no, I set out on a journey hoping for that, so that’s fine.

“To make things worse~…… we’re all sleeping in a group… even though I have no money… a private room would’ve been nice ~……”

『Pompous twit…』

“Ugh, I haven’t been called that in a long time… ugh…”

I had been on ships when I was little, but I had never been on a sea voyage like this.

I went down within a few hours of the ship leaving, and I had lost my entire meal.

『The semicircular canal is weak… for someone like you who deals with Martial Arts, tis a fatal flaw, is it not?』

“I, is that so…?”

『Well, you have a good sense of balance, but this unfamiliar swaying affects your body… my oh my, you may have gained a lot of strength in Cacretale, but… you still need much training.』

“I’m ashamed…”

For the time being, I spat every last drop into the sea, and a feeling of weakness, as if my stomach had become empty, enveloped my body.

“Fuh~……”

『Dear me, for you to spew a mess again… even though you had my assistance, you have defeated two of the Six Supremacy, Jamdi’el and Paripi… how to put it…』

“I ged it…”

『You do not, after all! Cur, though you have gone to great lengths to save face in front of females, should they see you now, Kron, Shinobu, the maid, and the princess would be disappointed, would they not?』

“Uh~…… ah I see… wh?”

While I was still groggy, I tried to envision the “what if” I heard in Tre’ainar’s words.

――Earth… are you okay?

――Honey, let me rub your back.

―― Here, Little man. I hope you have a good night’s rest now.

―― Hey, how pathetic, Earth! Hah, aren’t you still the hero’s…

No, with the exception of one person, I have a feeling that everyone will be kind to me… oops don’t go there. With Phianse, that’s no longer the case.

But……

『Cur… no, well, I too certainly share your feelings… but then… that little girl… what of Amae?』

“Huh!?”

I thought it over once more.

How would Amae feel if she saw me now?

Amae would say it quite clearly…

―― Older brother … vomit…… uncool

“I-I don’t like that!?”

『Then hold firm! Good? Sure, sailing can be difficult for the uninitiated, but at the same time, a ship is an excellent way to develop your sense of balance! And tis outrageous that a growing sprout such as yourself throws out his meal! Ingest it properly!』

“O, Osu!”

『As such, tomorrow we will have a training session on the ship. Actually, I would like to commence right away, but… surely you are tired today.』

“Oh…”

Somehow, I thought Tre’ainar’s expression would say something like “do it now” or “have guts,” but that wasn’t the case.

In the end, he was concerned and ordered me to rest.

『I am not that demonic.』

“Kuhahaha, not demonic, you’re the Demon King…”

『…… Oi… is now the time for that?』

“I love my kind master.”

『L, lo… d, dullard… anyway, rest for today! Y, you hear? Rest is part of training! Overwork is counterproductive! Today, as expected, your limit has already been exceeded after consecutive battles. Without adequate rest, your training will simply be ineffective. Tis not kindness. Do not misunderstand!』

“Yes, yes”

With that being said, I was certainly at my limit, so I lay down on the deck of the ship and looked up at the stars in the night sky.

At that moment, all at once, the taut thread of tension was cut, and in an instant, I began to doze off.

“Yeah… I’m really…… so tired…”

I already know this feeling. In a few seconds I’ll be asleep… and……

Even though the stars are so beautiful, I can’t afford to enjoy them…

“But… training on a ship… what… to do?”

『Hmm… well, the voyage takes but a few days… I suppose…… might we go fishing on deck?』

“Huh? Fishing? You…… can even fish?”

『Do not underestimate me. In the past, when I was camping solo, I fished for bass, and when I went out to sea, I would bend my rod and catch everything. Yes, I even caught one of those ‘Great Demon Tuna’…』

Fishing? When I was little… oh, no…

『Hmm~? Oi, child! Are you sleeping? Oi, listen to my tale……………… fuh~…………』

Sorry…… Tre’ainar, limit… sleep now…

『Three days by ship… and then, across the land… well, it will not take much longer… former Shiznautmy…… Paripi, really has the master key… speaking of which…… Shiznautmy… it was the hometown of the maid which I destroyed, but the child did not say anything… not even after hearing it would be the next destination…』

Yes…… I’m powerless to do anything… the night breeze feels so good… the deck is hard, but it feels so comfortable that I don’t want to get up anymore…

『Hmm… child…… today, truly… you really gave it your all. Be sure to take a good rest, okay?』
