Chapter 248

~11 min read 2,189 words

They seemed to be talking to Uranus beside them, who was walking with a grumpy face, perhaps trying to adjust his mood.

"Hey, Uranus.

Does the gem from just now count as one of the 3 required events?"

"Hmm... I don't know.

The last time I had a Discovery of a gem was during an event at Fushigigaike.

So I don't know if it counts as 3 events."

"I see...

Then besides the designated pocket, I might still need to do two more things."

"No."

And beside me was Meleoron, who was clearly very frustrated.

"Ah..."

"... Well, you aren't frustrated either.

It's nothing new for Uranus to become difficult."

For some reason, I think Seam and I are in opposite positions... But I am angrier than Uranus, the previous Seam. So sad.

I don't know if Uranus knows this, but he didn't show a malicious attitude toward Seam. I don't know if I'm happy in my heart that I'm this angry.

"Because I didn't expect you to care so much..."

"..."

I think the extra words themselves were Meleoron's carelessness, but... I didn't expect I would care so much. I hope you change your mind, but that will cost money.

Anything affordable—oops. There is one good thing.

"You two!

Do you want to eat something cold?"

I shouted to Uranus and the others who were slightly separated.

I pointed to a shop and then turned around.

"──Yes!

What kind of ice cream is this, anyway?"

Meleoron stuffed the kneaded cream into his mouth, muttering while exclaiming in admiration. The taste of Meleoron's melon... Yes, I'm thinking about it.

"This is so Pitch Darkness.

I have never eaten ice cream like this before."

Seam said this while eating grape-flavored cream. Is this the first time you two have done something like this?

"Strictly speaking, this isn't ice cream, but gelato.

It's like melted caramel because it has less air than ice cream, right?"

"Hey. That's true."

"Look, why don't we compare some flavors?"

"Yes.

Big sister's melon is also very delicious."

Good, good, good, everyone's mood is very good. Eating together is important.

I have coffee-flavored ice cream. It tastes good, and the aroma is also quite good. Uranus's is orange. I think it looks like strawberry.

"Aisha has been here before, right?"

Uranus asked. I tilted my head.

"No, is this your first time here?"

"Ah, no, in real life, that is."

Oh, are you talking about this?... Method.

"And Uranus."

"Yes.

... Aisha, do you know what that boat is called?"

Uranus pointed his thumb at a boat crossing the river. I'm sure...

"Gondola, right?"

"That's correct.

No matter how you look at it, this is that town."

Is Uranus the same? Because it is a world-famous tourist destination.

"Are you?

Have you ever traveled by airship?"

"No.

On that island, the airship landing site isn't open to the public. I think it's because it's too narrow.

I feel like I could force it to stop with my License, but I don't mind if I interfere with air transport. So I fly near the airship, then the boat. Sea travel is occasionally nice too."

"I see..."

"That's good, you guys...

I can go to many places.

We want to go too."

Seam looked thoughtfully at Meleoron, who was muttering to himself.

"Hm? You want to go? I'll take you."

Uranos said casually. But your eyes are serious.

"……Really?"

"Of course."

"Me too?"

"Is this normal?"

"……This is a promise, Uranos."

"Exaggerating, Shim.

I will definitely take you.

……Hurry up and eat your ice cream. It's going to melt."

"Yes……"

Oh, how terrible. I want to cry; we are too close, all three of us...

After admiring the Flow of the river from the stone bridge over the waterway, Uranos took me to a small chapel. Uranos opened the door casually and walked in. ……Things like this are very normal in games, but I am a bit resistant after all.

Uranos spoke to an uncle wearing religious attire at the back of the room, which looked more like a gathering hall than a chapel.

"Hello.

Do you have any questions?"

"Oh, then I would like to ask you one thing!

It seems there is a monster blocking the sewer of the rear waterway——"

It is truly great to know such things. It takes time and energy to acquire this as knowledge. Long live the walking strategy guide.

After accepting the request, Uranos left the temple once and walked to the waterway behind the temple.

Stop. Overlooking the water flow at the end of the stone path. As we investigated together——

Hmm…… I can see something crawling at the bottom of the waterway. It is deep.

"Are you sure?"

"That is correct."

"There is something."

"Eh? Am I the only one who can't see it?"

"Meleoron, please use 'Hard'……"

"Oh, yes.

I see a kind of aura……"

In other words, can you see the seams without 'Hard'? ……Perhaps it matches well with the water.

"But how will you deal with it?

Uranos, are you going diving?"

When Shim asked, Uranos looked repulsed.

Yes, well... when Uranos dives, I feel like a lot of things will happen when he comes back up.

"What?

Are you going to show off your clairvoyance again?"

"Great Thousand, Divine Grace Night."

Blow. I'm not sure what you mean, but it will happen. Definitely.

"There is no way to dive, damn it……

Well, there is such an event here. I won't do that."

"Then how do you plan to defeat it?"

To Meleoron's reasonable question,

"Don't try to find a way to lower combat power by diving into the water.

……Well, there are very few people who are good at underwater combat.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Nen Ability suitable for underwater combat."

I see. The ability to walk on the river just now, was it for fighting 'on water'? I am thinking about how to use it correctly.

"So, I will do it like this."

Uranos held his right hand as if he had something. A long, thick Needle-like object appeared between my thumb and index finger.

Oh, you know I can see it too?

"Yo."

With a flick of the wrist, I threw the Needle into the water with considerable force.

Where there was something at the bottom of the waterway, the water became white and murky. This is accurate…… this is not easy.

Uranos used Materialization to create Needles one by one, killing the monster at the bottom of the water.

When I threw 6 of them, it stopped moving.

A card floated on the surface of the river.

"Hm. It's over."

"Well……

I don't know what to say."

Meleoron was not impressed, but made a sound that sounded like he was truly taken aback.

Shim looked curious.

"Was that a Nen Ability just now? I didn't use a Divine Rune."

"Well then...

Of course it's a Nen Ability, but at this level, it's not enough to be called 'Fire'. I don't even use kamiji."

Hmm. It feels a bit inefficient...

While thinking, Uranus tilted his head, as if looking at me.

"What's wrong, Aisha?"

"No, if you attack like you are now...

I thought it would be easier to change Aura into a Needle shape, even if I didn't specifically use Materialization for the Needle. At least I would."

Well, I've never done it before, changing Aura like a needle and throwing it.

While answering my question, Uranus showed a thoughtful attitude.

"... Milady, that's no problem.

Technically, it's easier to change Aura and throw it, but if you do that, your power accuracy will drop as you move, right?

It's not stupid to be waterproof, so it would be safer to reinforce the materialized Needle with Ken and throw it. For a simple shape like this, you don't need Aura to materialize it. If you undo the shackles of Materialization, the Aura will recover to a certain extent."

Uranus just denied it. Hmm...

Overall, my point might be correct for a Psychic, but not for Uranus. This is a unique idea for a genius who possesses both Throwing and Materialization techniques. At the very least, Uranus's method would be much better in terms of power. Is it because I only threw it with my wrist that I didn't realize my target?

That is to say, this is a technique clearly learned for the sake of killing... Difficult.

I mean, what does he mean by saying he can't use weapon techniques...

Well, this knife might mean it's impossible. Right now, it's effective against opponents that can't be reached. At the very least, shooting a Nen Bullet into the water would be problematic. It looks like it would destroy the sewers and waterways. If you don't like it, you can run away.

"Are you sure you didn't pick up a card?"

Seam pointed to a card. Ah, I've been carried away for quite a while... Anyway, a minute has passed.

"It doesn't earn much money anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Even if I clear this event, I still have 50,000 Jenny."

After receiving the reward for exterminating the Slime, we continued to walk around the town for a while. Crossing the bridge many times, looking around at various compartments. Yes, such temples are everywhere.

Of course, besides the church, there are many buildings. There aren't many gorgeous buildings, only one building has painted walls. Each one is not unusual, but the free-running waterway overrides the atmosphere.

"Soon, let's get on the Gondola."

While docked at the pier, Uranus pointed to a large boat and invited him.

We readily agreed, and Uranus talked to the boatman.

20 minutes, 4000 Jenny.

That's right... This is very possible in real life. This is a painful expense for Greed Island.

Fortunately, any number of people can pay for a boat, so four people can board together.

Uranus seemed to be sitting on a cushion, enjoying the vibration of the waves.

"To the pier in the southeast of the town."

"Ouch."

I specified it, and the Gondola set sail.

The boatman paddled the shellfish, stepped on the pedals, swayed slowly, and started moving forward.

I looked at the stone road I had just walked on. When you leave the ground like this, it looks completely different from when you walk.

While watching the swaying ground and the cityscape, I crossed the narrow waterway that runs through the city and came to the big river that divides the city in two.

It requires a Heavy burden.

As the vibration became larger, the speed of the Gondola was like going upstream.

"Wow, so fast."

"Donosh."

Watching the brother and sister laughing happily. A leisurely walk is nice, but the city view seen from the Gondola is unique. The sea breeze blowing freely on the river surface is also a good feeling.

Uranus has been smiling, looking up at the seabirds flying over the river. Yes... the sky looks different too.

The parents and children of the seabirds are swimming gently on the water near the Gondola.

"Meow meow meow meow."

"Ah hahaha."

Seam is happy for its cry. Meleoron and Uranus smile at this situation.

I have ridden this Gondola in real life, but it wasn't this fun. This isn't bad.

... Is that so? Is it because I was riding alone at the time? When you ride with others, the situation is different.

Seeing the three of them having so much fun, perhaps it's the most fun. Not applicable.

Not long after, the Gondola arrived in the southeast of the city.

Head to the pier and make contact with Gakon.

"Are you done?"

Seemed to ask Uranus after a trot. I have been Stick for about 10 minutes. I feel it's definitely not enough.

"Even so, isn't it time?

I need to eat lunch as soon as possible. We can ride when we come again."

Hmm. I'm looking forward to Gohan, and it's almost time for Training. The two of them looked at me, their expressions a bit confused, but don't mind it.

Arrived at the delicious seafood restaurant recommended by Uranus. We sat at a white round table outdoors, and the waiter watched us from afar.

"Once you have decided on your order, press this doorbell.

It's okay to choose slowly."

In the center of the table sat a Ging bell. This is interesting. If it were a game character, I believe it would come.

I picked up the menu on the table and took a look.

Hmm. The seafood selection is amazing. The food in the attached pictures looks delicious. I'm really worried... shellfish cream pasta, seafood pizza, steamed shrimp, seafood soup... *drool*.

"What is the best propulsion on Uranus?"

Sim asked. Oh, I would love to hear that.

"I see...

If you want to fill your stomach, the seafood curry. The satisfaction is overwhelming.

The seafood pizza with plenty of tomatoes and cheese is delicious, or a large clam pasta to share with everyone. I personally also like the crab salad. Unusual things like Fugura fillet soup... then..."

Damn it, I want to eat them all. Ku, so annoying!
