The Captain, who had always maintained his composure no matter what happened, hurriedly launched a stream of water. It was not a stream formed by seawater, but clear water of extremely high transparency that appeared out of thin air.
Judging from her expression, it was not a pursuit, but rather a stream of water released for Meredith's sake.
But there was one person who didn't know.
"Miledi!"
I saw a black figure intervene between Meredith and the water at an astonishing speed. It was Oscar.
Oscar held up his black umbrella and immediately deployed the barrier of the Ten Styles of "Holy Absolute".
Because it seemed to have no power in the first place, the water flow was immediately bounced away.
“Ah, Aw…”
"It's okay, I'll heal you right away! — Eleventh Style 'Holy Light' - Maximum Output!"
The healing light turns into sweet rain, falling from the open umbrella.
"Your injuries are serious. It will take some time."
"Wow... How embarrassing. Oh, be careful, that person might be—"
Meredy seemed about to say something, but before she could, the Captain landed in front of Oscar.
Looking around, he saw that all the pirates of the Braed Pirates had been defeated without him noticing, and were surrounded by the pirates of the ghost ship.
"Hey, Mei'er, be careful. That guy is hiding his true strength and is very powerful."
"He has a lot of weird gadgets, he's a weird guy!"
Chris and Katie offered nervous advice.
But the Captain didn't care, she walked quickly towards Oscar.
"Will you please let me pass?"
"Do you think I'll give in?"
Oscar and the Captain's eyes met.
Oscar turned sideways to face the enemy, tightened his black gloves again, and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes behind his glasses, while protecting Miledy behind him.
"Please be prepared if you want to fight. If you try to hurt Meredith again—I'm sorry, I don't have the confidence that I can bring all of you back alive."
"Wait, a-Aoh?"
Oscar's voice was extremely cold, and his attitude showed his determination to never give in.
The pirates retreated and looked at each other, but when they saw Oscar's situation, it was Meredith who became anxious.
Ao's anger was about to explode.
Oscar seemed to feel that the pirates of the ghost ship were unusual, so he was still responding rationally. However, Miledy's injuries were very serious, and the slightest mistake could be fatal.
Therefore, Oscar now exudes a dangerous aura, and his emotions may explode at any time.
Seeing Oscar's reaction, the "Captain" smiled slightly for some reason and put away his sword.
"There's no way there's someone with that kind of look in this pirate group."
"?"
Oscar was puzzled, but the Captain regained his composure and apologized to Oscar.
"I'm sorry I hurt the girl that's important to you. I never thought such a beautiful girl could have been hurt so badly in just one year."
"I don't understand what you mean by that?"
"I think so."
The Captain nodded and continued forward. Oscar held out his black glove menacingly, but the Captain didn't stop and continued:
"You can take my head any time, but I'm going to touch her because I can heal her right away."
"..."
Oscar said nothing, blocking the way in front of the Captain, and it was obvious that he was hesitant.
It was Meredith who prompted him to make the decision.
"Oh, it's okay."
"Miledi... But these pirates are too strong for a villain. We can't take them lightly..."
"It's okay, Ao."
Although Meredith showed a painful expression, in order to move Oscar's heart, Meredith spoke again.
Oscar was a little speechless...
"...I understand. Please treat her."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Oscar made way for the Captain and watched the situation from the side with the pirates. The Captain gently touched Meredith's bloodied cheek.
"Dear pirate girl, you've led a pretty dangerous life so far."
"Hehe, the smooth road of life is not suitable for Xiao Mi! It hurts!"
Seeing Meredith, who was sweating in pain but still smiling bravely, the "Captain" smiled softly.
"—『Absolute Elephant』."
"Huwah."
A magical light as bright as the morning glow and as bright as the sunset enveloped Meredith. The next moment, Meredith returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.
Not to mention the wound, there wasn't even any bloodstains, and even the clothes that were originally wet had dried.
That can no longer be called a cure, but rather—
"Reborn?"
Oscar muttered blankly. Meredith also touched her body to confirm it and asked blankly:
"Who are you?"
The "Captain" stepped back and gave the two a gentle smile.
She waved her hand, and one of her subordinates brought her a long coat and a tricorn hat.
She turned her coat over her shoulders, slowly put on her tricorn hat, and then announced her name.
"My name is Mei'er, and I'm the captain of the Melkine Pirates."
Although she calls herself a pirate group, she gives people the feeling of being quite proud when she declares it.
The tough guys on the sea who followed the female pirate Mei'er also smiled proudly after hearing her declaration, as if they felt very honored to be her companions and to see her appropriate speech.
They really didn't look like a group of villains, and the gleam in their eyes was the best proof of that.
Regardless, the true identity of the "Pirate Killer Ghost Ship" is the Melkine Pirates, and the regenerative power that cannot be explained by existing magic is probably... no, it must be...
"Can you answer a question for me?"
Meredith stood up and asked with a serious look that could not be deceived:
"What are you going to do with the people who are captured?"
"Before that, I have a question, lovely pirate girl. What are you going to do with them?"
Mel was willing to talk partly because of the strong bond between Meredith and Oscar, and because they looked sincere, indicating they weren't bad people. But the more crucial factor was that she felt the situation would be very disadvantageous if she continued fighting.
Oscar's momentum just now was astonishing. Honestly, if he had used all his strength, it wouldn't have been a bad outcome for Mel, but his companions would have been in trouble. And Mel knew that Meredith hadn't used her full strength in the fight just now.
Meanwhile, Meredith's face was awkward and she was speechless at Mel's question. Ultimately, it was because she was wearing a misleading outfit that she was mistaken for an accomplice of the Braed Pirates.
"Um, sorry for the misunderstanding, this outfit is for role-playing. Since it's a rare opportunity to come to Andica, I wanted to experience what it's like to be a pirate. This is just a little joke from Mimi."
Oscar, who was standing by, rubbed his temples, as if he was enduring a headache.
The pirates said, "Oh, oh, so that's it...", looking at Meredith with sympathetic eyes. Katie blushed and couldn't help but exclaim, "So, so cute..."
"Hmm, let me explain on behalf of Meredith. We are guests staying at the Wanda Inn, and we were well taken care of by the inn's proprietress and daughter. Because they were kidnapped, we followed them."
"I see. Could that bunny girl be the shop owner's daughter?"
"Oh, yes! Her name is Chiara, she's my friend!"
"Is that so? Then it's understandable that you kicked Ned into the sea due to a misunderstanding."
“Ugh!”
Meredy had an indescribable expression, as if she were experiencing a severe stomachache.
Looking closely, Ned had joined the surrounding pirates. Perhaps embarrassed by being kicked by a girl, he looked away, an indescribable expression on his face.
Seeing the reactions of Meredy and Ned, Mel's cheeks turned red for some reason and she coughed.
"Okay, I believe you. To answer your question, I will of course send them back to Andika."
Oscar was almost certain, so he asked immediately:
"Heal their wounds and send them back?"
"Haha, yeah."
Mel smiled softly and replied. Oscar and Meredith looked at each other and nodded.
Oscar confirmed with her in a trembling voice.
"You are the Healing Saint, right?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Although Mel tilted her head and pretended to be stupid, Oscar and Meredith were sure of it when they saw the mischievous look in her eyes.
She, the captain of the 'Ghost Ship of Pirate Killers', or rather the 'Melkinne Pirates', is the 'Healing Saint'.
She heals those who were captured or harmed by pirates. No, what she performs is a magical skill that should be called "regeneration". She is the person that Miledy and the others are looking for!
Mireddy's expression suddenly became delighted.
"Oh! That's great—"
"I've been looking for someone like you!"
"oops?"
Oscar ignored Meredith's offer of a high five and suddenly moved closer to Mel as if to hug her.
For a moment, the pirates were about to take action, but because Oscar simply used his hands to cover Mel's hands, holding hers tightly, they stopped in confusion.
"Your face is a little too close—"
"Ms. Mei'er!"
Facing Oscar's constant encroachment on her personal territory, Mei's expression froze. She retreated little by little, as if overwhelmed by Oscar's aura, but Oscar, in turn, advanced.
The pirates were whispering to each other, while Meredy was shouting "Ah!?" in shock.
However, Ao himself seemed to only have Mei'er in his eyes and could not see anyone else.
Not only that, Oscar's cheeks flushed, his eyes moist with emotion, and he said to Mei'er in a passionate tone that others could clearly feel:
"My name is Oscar Orcus, and I have traveled here from the center of the continent to pursue you!"
"Eh? Eh? You're pursuing me... but you're hers—"
Mei'er looked embarrassed and turned her gaze to Meredith.
"Miledi isn't important right now! What's important is that you listen to me!"
The pirates looked at Meredith with sympathy, as if she were a girl abandoned by her lover. Meredith frantically protested, "We're not that kind of relationship!" This only earned her even more sympathy.
Oscar completely ignored them and spoke an extremely powerful word to Mei, who was forced to the wall of the ship by his momentum and looked confused.
"Ms. Mei'er!"
"Yes, yes?"
"Please come with me to the center of the continent! Please go meet my family! I'm begging you!"
“Eh, eh eh eh?”
The pirates were all in an uproar. They said one after another, "This is a proposal. The guy with glasses proposed to the captain!", "Hey, hey, you already have a lovely girlfriend, and you still want to make a move on the captain? This is why handsome guys are so annoying... Do you want to kill him?", "What!? You pervert with glasses! What nonsense are you talking about to Mei'er!", "Interesting, I have a different opinion of you, you pretty boy with glasses! Just push Mei over like this!" and so on.
