“Because I built this ship. It’s only natural that I know how it works.”
“…… Huh?”
In the wheelhouse is a man who seemed to be the leader of a group of thieves, and two who seemed to be his subordinates. There are only three of them, a rather lonely number.
“N-no, impossible. There’s no way a brat like you can build a ship like this! This ship has been around for a long time! At least it must have been made before you were born!”
“It’s true though.”
『They are not going to believe you, Master.』
Ignoring Lindwurm, I went to the back of the wheelhouse.
“Oh- right. It really was like this. I thought so too on the way here, but it’s definitely a bit shoddy in construction here and there. Well, I made when I was still young so I guess it can’t be helped.”
I think I built this ship when I was still a teenager in my previous life. It was the first time I had built an airship, so there were a number of things that bothered me when I looked at it now. Of course, the thieves here have no way of knowing such a situation.
“H-he’s a bit creepy, but he’s just a baby after all! You guys do it!”
““Ah? U-us?””
Suddenly appointed, the two subordinates are surprised.
“…… You guys should be able to take care of that baby yourself.”
“As usual, you are being unnecessarily cautious……”
“Oh, shut up. I have a bad feeling about this!”
Reluctantly, the two thieves approached me.
“Well, just behave yourself kid. I’ll kill you in a way that it doesn’t hurt.”
“Wait. Isn’t it possible to sell a baby who can walk and talk? Maybe he can be sold at a high price, right?”
“Mmm, he could be an spectacle for sure.”
“Then, let’s catch him for now.”
They are talking nonchalantly, but before they can get close to me, their feet stopped moving.
“Huh? What’s this? S-suddenly, my legs….…”
“M-me too, what the hell ……?”
Thud. Thud. As it is, they collapsed on the floor together.
“Good night~, all that’s left is you, Ojiichan.”
“D-don’t move!”
“…… Hn?”
The leader was pointing a cylindrical object at my position.
“This thing is a magical tool that can instantly unleash a powerful attack spell! Try moving even one step there! In that moment, your little body will be blown to pieces!”
“Oh~, another rare one!”
Ignoring the man who looked so tense, I involuntarily raised my voice.
Of course, that thing was also made by me. It’s called a magic gun, and it’s a convenient substitute that allows the holder to easily activate pre-loaded magic by simply pulling the trigger with the finger. The one that the man was holding, almost as if he was carrying it on his back, was probably one of the first to be made.
It was unnecessarily big, after all. In the end, I decided to reduce its size and I succeeded in reducing the weight to a size that could fit in one hand.
“That brings back memories huh.”
“……Y-you’ve been saying things that doesn’t make sense at all! I’ll make sure you don’t speak again!”
The man pulled the trigger. What was released was a condensed scorching flame.
“Hoip-”
With a swing of Lindwurm, I dissipated it.
“It looks like someone loaded it with magic later on huh.”
Even when I was younger, I could have loaded a little more powerful magic.
“W-w-wha……”
The man slumped and collapsed on his butt.
“T-that powerful magic…… Y-you easy dodged that……!?”
“Alright, I’ll take this ship back. I gave it up myself though.”
“Hiiiiiii! D-don’t come near me!”
His cheeks were twitching with fear, but I’m not a scary baby.
“It’s not my job to decide. Good night.”
“~~~~!”
Passing by the man who was unconscious with the whites of his eyes rolled up, I approached the monitor. And while touching the screen,
“Change ownership”
『Beep,Beep,Beep…… Are you sure you want to change ownership?』
“Yes.”
『Ownership has been changed from Banbil to Reus.』
Apparently, the leader’s name was Banbil.
“Next, remove the theives who are registered.”
If it is registered in the system beforehand, the elimination system such as traps and other removal systems will not work.
“…… Eh? It looks like there was someone on the ship who isn’t registered.”
