A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"...Hmm? Isn't it supposed to be a little dot?"

But whatever Dorothea says goes, since I can't see anything anyway.

As Likdo mentioned before, the seas are now mostly occupied by sea creatures.

Anyone who crosses the sea faces the threat of sea creatures.

Many people have already perished at sea.

In the sea, the sea creatures are invincible; neither angels nor demons are their match.

The sea creatures have no desire for the land world; they simply occupy the sea.

The angels and demons were quite satisfied with this, because it wouldn't cause them any conflict.

To get back to the point, even if Bray and Dorothea had ships, they would still have to bear certain risks.

After all, the boat might get damaged while crossing the sea.

While the sea creatures couldn't defeat Bray and Dorothea, they could sink small boats.

Dorothea might survive, but Bray will definitely be dead.

“They should be patrolling,” Dorothea said to Bray.

"I can't see it," Bray said dejectedly; he could only see tiny black dots.

"It's alright, it's enough that you know," Dorothea said, since she hadn't expected Bray to have particularly good eyesight anyway.

“I have a good way to cross the sea.” She smiled, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Wait a moment." She brushed her long hair aside and then stepped on the shield that had suddenly appeared.

"This is?"

However, Bray didn't get an answer, so Dorothea used her shield as a board and went straight to sea.

"??????" After seeing Dorothea's actions, countless question marks floated above Bray's head.

Why can a shield float on the sea? Why can it turn?

It seems to be moving quite fast.

"Most importantly, you should have said you had this sooner." With this, we could have crossed the sea directly.

However, Her Majesty the Queen may no longer be able to hear it, or if she did, she would probably pretend not to.

---

Dorothea's long, silvery-white hair was blown about by the sea breeze.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived near the sea creatures.

As the shield hurtled forward, it left behind towering waves, creating a truly spectacular sight.

"Who goes there?!" (in the language of the sea creatures) A ​​sea creature spotted Dorothea rushing towards them and asked.

Unfortunately, He spoke in the language of the sea people, which Dorothea could not understand.

“This is none of your business. I want this one,” Dorothea said to the sea creatures, then looked at a certain憨厚大大印 (simple-minded sea seal).

"A lowly species of elf?" This time, the sea creature finally spoke in a language that Dorothea could understand.

"You mere ants have no right to set foot on the sea!"

"Let's do what we always do and torture her to death."

However, they would have been better off not saying anything.

These words greatly displeased Dorothea.

They call them ants and toy with them. Just how arrogant must they be to say such foolish things?

"You are the real ants."

"Before saying such things, consider your own strength," Dorothea said coldly, gripping a long sword in her hand.

Before being arrogant, one must have the corresponding strength.

And these guys—no.

A white line flashed past as the shield sped by.

Dorothea's cold gaze was the last thing those sea creatures saw before their lives faded away.

She slightly tilted the back of her shield up, gracefully turned it in a small arc, and stopped it on the sea surface.

The spray from the shields engulfed the sea creatures' corpses, sending them crashing into the seabed.

Dorothea's original target was this monster, but the Bronze-type creatures, as expected, spoke without thinking and successfully angered her.

"!" The honest-looking seal monster trembled when it saw Dorothea staring at it.

It quietly swam backward, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

The other monsters all ran away, but Dorothea did not stop them.

However, just as the seal was about to slip away, she flashed a sword flourish, warning it.

"!?" The monster's intuition told it that if it resisted, it would suffer greatly; the sea creatures from before were living examples.

After realizing its situation, the giant seal froze on the spot, too afraid to move.

It only begged that the other party wouldn't kill it... A huge seal swam cautiously on the surface of the sea.

Two people sat on its broad back; they were Dorothea and Bray.

“Actually, you could use that shield to cross the sea,” Bray reminded Dorothea.

"Only one person can stand there. I can't let you go up there," Dorothea said coldly.

How could her weapon be so easily trampled by Bray?

"Besides, using magic the whole time would be too tiring." This was also Dorothea's reason for not wanting to use that thing to cross the sea.

"Furthermore, crossing the sea on a mount is more in line with my status as a king," she said in a very ordinary tone.

If it were a ship, Dorothea would choose a large one.

"The identity of a king, huh?" Bray muttered. Dorothea's line was a little embarrassing, but for some reason, it sounded quite natural coming from her.

Bray secretly poked the seal's skin; it was a bit slippery and a bit thick.

If this guy swims too fast, he and Dorothea will both slide down.

"Can you swim?" Bray asked curiously, knowing it would be terrible if he fell into the sea.

"Yes." Dorothea thought Bray was talking nonsense.

“Ah, I can too.” Bray nodded.

"But if I fell into the sea, I'd probably be freezing." Being able to swim and being able to fight in the water are two different things.

Fighting the sea creatures in the ocean, Bray felt he was going to die.

Incidentally, along the way, many sea creatures tried to ambush the two of them.

After all, Dorothea and Bray had already invaded the sea creatures' territory, so it was normal for them to be marked by the sea creatures.

Unfortunately, the sea creatures chose the wrong opponent.

"Speaking of which, you really showed no mercy when you slaughtered them," Bray complained. Dorothea basically killed them instantly, giving them no chance to react.

"Are you really going to let the guy who tried to kill you go?" Dorothea stood up and looked down at Bray, who was sitting cross-legged.

“It’s not that bad,” Bray shook his head.

"It's just that everyone's life is cheap, and it's too stupid to keep hurting each other."

Everyone's life is something that can be easily taken by higher species. It's not worth it to not cherish it and instead kill other creatures like us.

The bronze variety is actually a lower variety, but it considers itself a higher variety.

However, for the Black Iron type, it is indeed a high-grade type.

High and low are relative terms.

Do you think you're just as pathetic as them?

“Pitiful? It’s insignificant, but insignificant is not the same as pitiful.” After saying that, Bray tried to lie down on the seal’s comfortable back.

"Don't lie down, we're almost at land." Dorothea grabbed Bray and pulled him up.

"..." Bray looked a little dejected as she lifted him up.

"So soon?" Bray sighed.

“We’ve been at sea for two days now, and this seal is quite fast,” Dorothea said, frowning.

Speaking of this, she was a little upset and hadn't been able to eat, shower, or sleep properly for two days.

Dorothea just wants to get to land as soon as possible so she can get some rest.

"Two days?" Dorothea hadn't even told Bray that two days had already passed.

“That’s right, it’s been two days.” As soon as she finished speaking, Dorothea walked over to the seal’s head and gently stepped on it.

"Speed ​​up, we'll let you go once we reach the shore," she said to the seal under her boots.

"!!!!" The seal seemed to understand Dorothea's words and became excited, obediently increasing its swimming speed.

Great, great, it's wonderful to let it go. The seal couldn't wait to escape Dorothea's clutches.

Looking at it now, this woman is quite nice, and the seal even has the illusion that Dorothea is very kind.

---

"Thump!" After delivering Dorothea and Bray to land, the seal dived into the sea without looking back.

To avoid being caught by Dorothea, it dared not even peek above the surface of the sea.

Dorothea looked at the high splashing waves and found herself somewhat reluctant to part with the seal.

Although you can't really rest properly at sea, seals are certainly a great means of transportation.

If the seal hadn't been fast, it probably would have been caught by Dorothea.

“Hey, Brayclas,” Dorothea called out to Bray.

"Huh... what's wrong?" Bray, who had just landed, looked at Dorothea with a blank expression.

"You're the one who said you wanted to come to the Central Continent, so quickly find me a place to rest."

"First, you need to take a shower and go to sleep," Dorothea said coldly to Bray.

"This is the Central Continent of the past, a continent from who knows how many years ago." Bray was a little frustrated. Not to mention the Central Continent of this era, he wasn't even that familiar with the Central Continent of his own time.

"..." Dorothea looked at Bray expressionlessly, seemingly not intending to listen to Bray's "excuse".

“Alright, let’s find a lake or a river first.” Bray sighed deeply.

In short, we should prioritize satisfying Dorothea's need for a bath.

"Drive." Dorothea released the magic vehicle immediately after hearing Bray's words.

That space for storing weapons is really convenient.

Bray climbed into the car, intending to drive; he had no intention of walking.

If you wander around, you'll eventually find your destination.

"Bang!!!" However, the car hadn't gone far when a muffled sound came.

The car paused for a moment, then its speed began to decrease steadily.

"That sound... something exploded, right?" Bray's expression was a little grim.

“That’s right.” Dorothea also showed a helpless expression. Yes, what was that that made the noise?

And the things that were blown up were terrible.

"..." Bray couldn't help but jump out of the car, wanting to know what had exploded.

Fortunately, it wasn't the engine that exploded.

Unfortunately, it was the tires that exploded.

On the beach, an incredibly hard seashell punctured the tire.
