We flew the airship for several hours. Finally, the blue sea came into view ahead of us. When we reached the beach, we used the elevator to descend to the white sandy beach.
(Oh~, what a very beautiful sandy beach! This is perfect for swimming! Maybe I’ll find a beautiful woman there already? Ufufufu.)
In my mind, I picture the scene of myself having fun with beautiful women (with big breasts) in swimsuits, and my cheeks unconsciously relax.
『No, Master, it seems it’s not time for you to swim in the sea.』
“Eh?”
I tilted my head at Lindwurm’s ominous remark.
『Look at the state of the sea.』
(T-This is ….…)
As I turned my gaze towards the sea, I saw a number of huge shadows wriggling in the sea. From time to time they came out to sea, roaring loudly.
“There are so many monsters……”
Even with just a glance, there are probably 20 of them. And that’s only what I can see from this beach, there are probably more of them deeper down there.
“What an incredible number! Are there really that many monsters in the sea?”
“That can’t be! Obviously, that’s an extraordinary number!”
Fana, who doesn’t seem to have been to the sea much, muttered, but Anje disagreed.
“Hmm. Master, there are monsters coming up to the beach.”
When Lill allerted me, I turned my gaze to the direction she’s looking at and saw a turtle monster with countless spines on its back slowly coming up onto the beach.
(Linlin, we’ll eliminate that thing immediately! We’ll never get to the sea, but we must absolutely defend the beach! At worst, as long as we have a sandy beach I can have a swimsuit episode!)
Unfortunately, there were no other guests, but my disciples are here. I had prepared a swimsuit for them to wear just for this purpose.
『No matter how I look at it, that won’t happen.』
(No way……)
『You should be more concerned about the state of this sea.』
As I slumped my shoulders, I heard an angry shout from behind us.
“What are you guys doing in such a place!? The sea is very dangerous right now!”
When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be a local here. He was quite tanned and looked like a man of the sea. Maybe he’s a fisherman.
“This sea is full of monsters! Some of them come up on land like that turtle! Come over here quickly!”
The uncle urged us loudly so we followed his instructions. We soon came across a barricade made of stones and dirt that covered the entire beach. On the other side of the barricades, there is a kind of turret that apparently keeps an eye on this beach. We climbed the ladder and descended to the other side, where the uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“How on earth did you guys get onto the beach? As you can see, this place should be completely sealed off!”
Of course, I can’t explain that we descended from the sky via the airship. But instead of covering up, I ask,
“More than that, Ojiichan, has the sea here been like this for a long time?”
“Of course not! It used to be a beautiful sea, and the fishing industry here is thriving but, w-wait!….. B-b-baby…. a baby just taaalked!?”
It seems that this sea has been flooded with monsters only recently huh.
“We are adventurers from the city called Vegaltia.”
“Vegaltia…. you mean, the well known sanctuary of adventurers……?”
“Yes. You see, babies there can talk.”
“……Hey! There’s no way that’s true. Don’t just make up random stuff.”
Anje was dumbfounded, but the uncle was a little convinced, he even muttered, “Is that so……?”
“If you don’t mind, tell us more about this situation. We might be able to do something about it. We are all A-rank adventurers, so I’m sure we are capable enough.”
“A-rank!? At such young age……”
“It must be hard not being able to fish properly, right?”
“Ah? Oh, yes, that’s right. With the sea in this state, there’s no way for us to go fishing. The port was even closed down… This beach used to be a popular swimming beach spot too…”
“Ojiichan, what did you say just now!?”
“Ah? This beach used to be a popular swimming beach spot….…”
Apparently I hadn’t heard wrong.
I clenched my fists and declared,
“Don’t worry, Ojiichan, we’ll take care of it!”
“R-really?”
“Yes! Leave it to us!”
『You seem pretty motivated, but of course it’s for the people who are struggling because they can’t go fishing, right?』
(Of course it’s all for this swimming beach spot!)
