Chapter 9 – Sudden Vacation
I also opened a general store in the hot spring village, enjoyed the hot springs, and filled my hot spring tubs. On the way home, I visited the Goddess of the Forest-sama shrine, and it was quite a fulfilling time. It was wonderful to be able to relax and pray, especially when I thought I would not be called to the divine realm because the shrine was not sanctified.
With some prospect of the general store in sight, I returned to the Chateau.
The temporary general store in the hilltop village will be moved by the dark elves as soon as the building is completed, so there is no need for me to be there.
The mermaid village is also doing well.
Bella-san and the others have moved out, and the dark elves have just added a new resident. And bringing in more dark elves will overwhelm their capacity, so I’ll give it some time.
I don’t mind the progress of the beastmen’s village in the Aquamarine Kingdom, but if I go to check on it improperly, there’s a high possibility that I’ll be forced to do some work, so let’s not worry about that.
As for the construction of the beastmen village, I have a contract from God, so I’m grateful that the possibility of injustice is low even if I don’t supervise it.
Besides, I’ve postponed going to the southern continent, and the gods’ invitation is still pending, so I won’t be reckless by not praying in the sanctuary.
…Could this be a chance to relax for a while?
Others might say that I’ve relaxed enough, but I’ve had my share of hardships, and I can’t say that I’ve fully enjoyed the Chateau during the voyage.
Now is the time to play. Then I’d like to leave the luxury liner for later when I can enjoy it to the fullest, and have an experience that I can only enjoy now.
So… it’s either playing on the island or playing at sea… I think it’s the sea. I spend most of my time at sea, but I’ve spent very little time just playing in the sea.
Thanks to the Sea God’s Divine Treasure, the area around Dark Elf Island is a bit safer.
With the help of the mermaids, it might be a good idea for us, or rather Ines, Felicia, Alessia-san and the others, to clean up the remaining slightly dangerous monsters and then take a vacation and have some fun.
It’s no exaggeration to say that swimming in the sea surrounded by a group of beautiful women is a real treat. The sea can easily be reserved for private parties if necessary so that it might be more like celebrity fulfillment.
Well, I feel like it’s a little too late for me since I lived on a luxury liner, but the luxury liner is an unrealistic feeling, and swimming with girls is an enviable event that is close to my heart.
When I was in Japan… I went to the beach with my male friends and all I could do was stare at the girls in their swimsuits with all my might… Wow, that’s a sad memory.
But it’s different now. I’ve been given the Ship Summoning cheat and have all the money, time, and beautiful women I need. Now is the time to host the popular guy event that everyone envies.
To my friends on Earth that I’ll never see again, don’t worry, I’m having a great time. I’m sorry I can’t send you pictures.
I’m sorry I can’t brag to my unlucky friends who are with me looking lewdly at beautiful women in swimsuits, but let’s enjoy my life in another world as much as possible.
Actually, I was looking at the special ships section of the Ship Summoning and found a ship that caught my attention. Can this be called a ship? I wondered, but I wanted to introduce it one day because it is an item that would make me extremely happy.
I had put it off because there was no place to use it in this world, but things changed when I got the Sea God’s Divine Treasure.
If we can clear out the monsters while using the Sea God’s Divine Treasure to demarcate the sea area, we will immediately have an area where we can play safely.
Yes, yes, good, I’m on fire.
I want to invite Alessia-san and the others right away, but if I go off half-cocked, Alessia-san and the others will make fun of me.
I needed a detailed plan.
First, I had to deal with Felicia, who looked at me worriedly while I grinned all by myself.
＊＊＊
“These are my plans. Thank you for your attention.”
After reassuring Felicia, I spent the rest of the night working out a detailed plan and finally presented it.
After a delicious meal and a few drinks to get them in a tipsy mood, the explanation was well received.
“Heh. It’s true if you use the Sea God’s Divine Treasure, we can play safely even in the sea.”
“Yes. I never thought of just swimming and playing in the sea, even though I lived in a port city. Even when I swam, it was only to kill monsters.”
“Wataru, that’s wonderful. The dark elves and mermaids can fish safely, and even the children can play safely!”
Alessia-san and Dorothea-san nodded their heads in admiration. I think Claretta-san’s impression of me has soared.
It seems that my plan to benefit the islanders, and not just for the sake of fun, has paid off.
“I think it’s good to be useful to the islanders, and if Wataru wants to do it, I’ll gladly cooperate with him. But in our case, we can turn into mermaids and swim normally underwater, and I think the pool is enough for us to play in, don’t you?”
It doesn’t seem like a bad impression, but Ilma-san tilts her head. She agrees that it would be useful for the islanders, but she seems to question the act of going out to play in the ocean.
Well, this is a world where there is no culture of swimming in the sea like there is on Earth, and there are safe places to swim, like the swimming pools on luxury liners, so she probably doesn’t see the point of going out of her way to play in the sea.
I had already explained this to Ines and Felicia in advance, and they had similar opinions, so I knew such questions would come up.
Since I had made a presentation to Ines and Felicia beforehand and made a detailed plan, I had no choice but to leave no stone unturned.
“There are things you can do in the sea that you can’t do in a swimming pool.”
At first, I had planned a recreational activity that would be fun to look for and delicious to eat, such as harpooning and tide pooling, but Ines reminded me that this was normal business at the seaside.
I was surprised at how different the mindset is in a country like Japan, where most people buy food, and a country where people buy food, but hunting and gathering is commonplace.
Snorkeling and scuba diving, for example, would be more of a hassle with the equipment than fun, since you can even live normally underwater if you turn into a mermaid.
But that’s not a big deal.
All I want is one thing; as long as I can enjoy it with everyone else, that’s all I need.
I thought about all the water sports that exist in Japan, and although I had several candidates that sounded fun, I eliminated all but one.
I thought parasailing would be fun, and I thought it would be possible to recreate it using the sails of a yacht that could be purchased from a special ship, but I had a feeling that Alessia-san and Ines would be reckless, so I decided to postpone the implementation for now.
I don’t think a person of Alessia-san and Ines’ level would die even if they fell from a certain height, but caution is still needed.
“So this is it. Ship Summoning!”
“…Let’s see, it looks like a very fancy and simple structure, but… is it a ship?”
“It looks a lot like the fruit in the dessert section.”
Alessia-san’s question was quite reasonable, and Carla-san, being the foodie that she is, had a keen eye for observation.
When I found it on the ship purchase screen, I wondered if I could categorize it as a ship, but I guess it’s okay as long as it’s called a boat. I feel this way because it is a unique skill given to me by the Creator God-sama.
“This is a ride called a banana boat. When we pull it with the boat, we enjoy the feeling of speed on the water, the thrill of whether it will capsize or not, and the surprise when it does capsize.”
Yes, the situation I want is a banana boat ride with beautiful women, with a happy scene!
There were banana boats with two rows and wider ones, but I chose the simplest banana boat for six people because it would reduce the possibility of a lucky scene.
The boat is pulled by a super strong motorboat called Galette, so it must be a great thrill.
As for me, I wanted to buy a boat with more moderate acceleration and maximum speed, but I needed the power of the motorboat to have a lucky scene with the ladies with great physical ability.
They also sold other jet skis and the same kind of banana boat, circular and spinning like crazy, but I’ll save those for when the banana boat gets stuck in a rut.
“What’s the fun in that? You’re going so fast in an unstable situation, and if you’re not careful, you’ll just fall overboard, right?”
Marina-san, who had been listening quietly, gave me a calm rebuke. It was hard to deny it because I had the same opinion.
But that’s okay because I have a powerful word.
“It’s pretty fun. It’s a popular sea sport in my former world.”
The mood of Alessia-san and the others changed. The word “popular” in another world is still a strong word.
They looked at each other and nodded.
“It sounds interesting, so let’s start. What should we do first?”
Okay, the lucky scene is right around the corner. Normally, at this point, my face would collapse in madness, but in order to be a good man, I kept my guard up and tightened my expression.
“Since we’ve been drinking, I don’t think we can start today. I’ll ask Princess Annemarie to help us. Alessia and the others should prepare for an underwater battle.”
I had not even talked to the mermaids yet, and there was no way I would start now.
Princess Annemarie and the others treat me like a benefactor and will cooperate with me in most things if I ask them to.
So I decided to go ahead with the plan after the presentation to Alessia-san and the others, which was the only thing that could possibly derail the plan.
I could have talked to Princess Annemarie before talking to Alessia-san and the others, but I could imagine the mermaids going into a frenzy if I asked them for help, so I had to avoid making any uncertain requests.
“Roger that. The big ones are almost all gone from the island, so we just need to clean up the little monsters. I’ll have my equipment ready for that.”
“Alessia, you can’t just go after monsters. There are poisonous and dangerous creatures in the sea. It will be difficult to get rid of all of them, but we have to eliminate as many as we can.”
“Also, the island’s topography is dangerous, so we need to check that as well. We may need to set up landmarks to prevent the islanders from entering.”
Alessia-san’s voice was joined by Claretta-san and Dorothea-san’s, and one by one, the tasks to be done were decided.
I feel a bit fresh because I have rarely had to fight outside of training and have only seen the softer side of Alessia-san and the others.
Yes, Alessia-san and the others are A-rank adventurers, so it is obvious that they are competent when it comes to doing things.
I have a purpose to play, but they also seem to care deeply about the residents of the Dark Elf Island, and they must never know that my purpose is a lucky scene.
Yes, I’ll act with a body that also thinks for the islanders.
It’s a bad idea, but as a result, the islanders will be prosperous, Alessia-san and the others, Ines and Felicia will be able to enjoy themselves, and if I can get a happy scene, everyone will be happy except for the dangerous creatures that will be eliminated.
This selfish opinion would surely upset animal rights groups if they existed, but this is a different world. I’m sorry, but I’m going to ask them to sacrifice themselves.
