Chapter 3: [The Black Windstorm]

Location: On a Ship

---

Eita:(4star face) Blow away, all of you! Spearless Whole Countryyyyy!!

Eita’s harpoon stance penetrated the sea surface, and the axis of the harpoon knocked down all of the enemies. ——however.

Don’t falter! Aim for the ship! If they lose even their foothold, we could neutralize them!

Uhyaaaaaaaaa!? The ship! The ship is shaking! It’s going to sink!

W-What should we do Senpai? At this rate, I, and Big Sis Benten too will...!

Giggle*... No way. Is the concert over already?

Kuh*... I didn’t lost! I just couldn’t play anymore because the foothold is bad.

It was quite fresh and exciting but... It seems that it couldn’t match ours.

Gigg

W-What is it now?! The sky over there... and the tide are strange!

What— in the world is happening?

One of the mermaids whispered something in the ear to a merman that seemed to be the leader in a hurry.

—What did you say!? A "black windstorm" is going through these waters—!?

—Retreat! Everyone, retreat quickly! Leave these waters quickly!!

Eh, wait, what happened? Everyone is escaping at full speed...!

Ah, somehow it makes me remember my dark history.

That time when l was rockin'—Aah, aah, aah!

—It wasn’t. There wasn’t a past like that!

Big Sis Benten! Thank goodness, you are safe!

There’s nothing safe in this situation though... What happened? Every one of the enemies escaped.

That’s—l also don’t know. Those mermaids suddenly escaped too...

I have a very bad feeling. When something strange occurs on the sea, the fishes escape...

1 option
They said something about a "black windstorm", right?

A "black windstorm"...? Doesn’t that sound a little exciting?

Eh, a storm- W-Waait!?

1 option
It suddenly became a storm!?

Eh, what does this mean!? It was a clear sky until now!?

Senpai, look at the sky! There’s a great flow of clouds! It’s not natural!

N-No! It’s not only the sky! The weather and the tide too, everything is changing!

Wait you two! Look at that! Something... is approaching!

.........

Where Benten was pointing—knowing even from the distant, there was a storm swallowing everything.

That was a giant black Windstorm. An overwhelming existence, so big that hit the skies—

And for some reason—it had a weird feeling, like if it was alive.

What’s that...? I’ve never seen a storm like that...!

Ominous—Should I say. Isn’t that thing it’s helpless ...?

3 options
Keep still, Benten!	Be careful, Eita!	Anyway, let’s escape!
Because, what should we do then!? With that size, even if I change the "flow"—!	I was raised on the sea, so I know...! That’s—a thing that we shouldn’t touch!	Even if you say we should escape, we are on the sea! There’s no place to run— The ship is in pieces anyway... At this rate, we...

No! We can’t escape anymore...! Gyaaaaaaaa!

[Player]-senpai! Big Sis Benten! —Ugyaaaaaaaaa!!

3 options
Benteeeeeen!	Eitaaaaaaaa!
[Player]!	[Player]-senpaiiiiiii!!

That black monster, just by passing by, crushed the pirate ship into dust.

The three, who were thrown to the ocean, were knocked down at the mercy of the raging waves.

*Cough* *Cough*	I can’t die in a place like this!

But [Player], fighting in vain, sunk to the bottom of the rough sea. Unlike just a storm, an enormous energy was overwrapping in the sea.

1 option
I'm... done for...

Without being able to breath, [Player]’s consciousness hazed.

???:( face) esc... u...!

A voice could be hard. Someone’s voice. In the middle of the rough tidal current, a voice certainly could reach one’s ears.

???:( face) Rescue... u...!

Someone crawled the waves and approached quickly.
And then—A scream could be heard.

Don’t give uuuuuuuuuup! "Role" is "Rescuer"! "Rule" is "Reaching"!

I, Makara will "inscribe" my name here! Reach the place where those people are drowning—

Valna Vahana!!

Something coil all around their body, felling like they were being pulled out— At the end of that feeling—[Player] lost consciousness.

.......

............

...................

1 option
Where... am I?

S-Senpail? Thank goodness, you wake up!?

1 option
Eita...?

Yes! Yes! Thank goodneeeeeess! If senpai disappeared I, I...!

Eita cried loudly burying his face on [Player]’s chest. With his arms around (Player)’s back, Eita hugged [Player] strongly.

Ooh, you finally wake up. Hey Eita. What are you doing to a person who just woke up recently?

...Big Bro Makara. Sorry. I’m, so happy...

Eita, you also just wake up recently. It’s better if you lie down for a little more.

How is your condition? I treated your injuries but, does it hurt somewhere?

The giant beastman called Makara spoke in a relaxed tone.

1 option
Eita's acquaintance...?

Yeah! He’s Big Bro Makara. A sea man just like me!

I’m Makara. I usually work as a lifesaver.

After being thrown by the Windstorm—Big Bro Makara saved us!

Yes, I was really surprised. To think that the drowning person that l rescued was Eita.

3 options
Thank you, Makara-san.	I'm [Player].	As a token of our meeting, a hug...
Ooh, I don’t mind. Because rescuing troubled people on the sea is my occupation.		Oh, You were scared? Theere, there. Please don’t hate the sea.

2 options (Same Response)
By the way...	What's with Eita's outfit?

Ah, these clothes? Hehe, They suits me right? I got them from Big Bro Makara.

His clothes were in pieces after all. So I changed his clothes.

I also change your clothes while you were sleeping. It would be bad if you caught a cold because of those soaked clothes.

Ah, I properly averted to look. I didn’t see anything, so relax.

[Player], after being told that, realized that they own clothes were the same sailor clothes from Eita.

2 options (Same Response)
Ah, it’s true, me too—	Thanks for everything.

More importantly—Eita. There’s something you have to say right?

...Yeah. Actually...

1 option
Benten is... not here?

Yes... the people that Big Bro Makara rescued were... only the two of us.

1 option
Don’t tell me that, just like that, she sunk...?!

No, that's not it. This "Sacred Artifact" garland can stretch anywhere and certainly reach without leaving the rescuer.

There wasn’t another person drowning on the pirate ship you were in.

But... we were together! Big Sis Benten was...!

Hmm, If that’s the case then—she escape by herself, or she was saved by another person?

2 options (Same Response)
It’s possible that she escape by herself but—	She was rescued by another person...?

Thinking too much is bad for the body, you two.

That Benten girl must be safe. We’ll look for her together, so don’t worry.

Hey, Makara. How long are you going to goof off?

—What? You two are already awake?

Aah, sorry about that. As a lifesaver I couldn’t leave them alone.

My, my. Picking up two new drifting brats—

—Well, as a captain, I have no complains if they work just for the eaten food.

1 option
The captain... of this ship?

Captain!? Mr. Captain!? Woooooow, coooooooll!

...What? Makara, since when did my ship became a nursery?

Well, a captain is the yearning of a sea men. Please endure the gazing.

...Hm. Youngsters are carefree and enviable.

l’ll introduce him. Here is the captain of this ship, Ahab-san.

I was also involved in this "other world" sea, and Ahab-san rescue me when I was in trouble.

Don’t say unnecessary things, Makara. As a captain, it’ll become awkward.

1 option
Thank you very much for saving us.

The one who saved you was that Makara. Not me. Don’t misunderstand.

—But, what Makara did as someone who rode this ship as a sailor, I, as a captain, should also bear responsibility.

...In other words, as long as you ride this ship, —you’re one of my cute subordinates and a sailor.

If that’s the case, you’ll vigorously work while you ride it — for the purpose of my ship.

1 option
What do you mean by purpose?

I don’t really understand, but it seems that Captain Ahab is pursuing a "sea monster".

I guess you never thought that you drifted, by coincidence, after pass by that.

Halfway of the searching—we found you drifting.

1 option
Could it be the "black windstorm"?

After saying those words, Ahab-san, with eyes tinged with madness, grasped [Player]’s chest.

—As I thought, it passed by here?! Where?! In which direction he went?!

2 options (Same Response)
P-Please release me!	I-I can't breathe!

W-Wait please calm down Captain Ahab! That "black windstorm"... is a living thing?

Certainly, we saw it but... immediately after that, we were swallowed by the sea!

Thinking back about the tidal current from that time... I think it went northwest, Captain Ahab.

Northwest, huh? Tch, we could went over there after all.

1 option
What do you mean?

—Makara. Explain it to these newbie sailors.

The waters of the northwest, alias, mermaid waters. If you get in the way of those mermaids, you can’t pass the ship.

On the contrary, if you approach, they’ll attack the ship.

I have completely no idea why they are so aggressive like that. If at least we could know the reason, we could negotiate—

Dowaaa?! The ship is shaking greatly!

Again, incorrigibly—those merpeople came to attack again.

It can’t be helped, let’s attack! You’ll fight too, follow me!

S—Senpai! They’re coming to attack us...!

—Look at that senpai! That scarf that the leader merman have...!

2 options (Same Response)
It’s the one that Benten was wearing!	Don’t tell me that Benten was—

It’s not the time to talk so carelessly. The mermaids came to attack us!

Listen, protect your own body by yourself! —They’re coming!!
