The man put his hands together, adjusted his middle-parted short blond hair, turned to look at Bai Shi and said, "My name is Carl Yupanki, and I'm glad you can accept this adventure escort mission."
"My name is Shiraishi, and she is Rin Kamanagi, Miya Kiryuin, and Jun Komori, the shrine maidens of our Nohara Shrine."
"It's just like what that person said. I really made a profit."
Carl smiled brightly.
"Who?" Bai Shi looked a little confused.
"Well, I specifically looked at the information of your Nohara Shrine. The order acceptance rate is 100%, the completion rate is 100%, and all of them have five-star reviews. There are also anonymous comments saying that four extraordinary people come to your door for every order you send. It is definitely a conscientious shrine."
Carl explained with a smile, and added, "This is a new feature of the upgraded version. Employers can see the soul hunting data of the person who accepts the order."
"Oh."
Bai Shi nodded. His version was an old one and he had only upgraded it once since he started using it. He was not sure what new features had been added since then.
In his eyes, any software should not be upgraded unless necessary, as the more it is upgraded, the worse it becomes.
Karl waved and said, “Come in, I’ll tell you about the route this time.”
Kiryuin Misae wanted to go in, but Kannagi Rin pulled her sleeve and signaled with her eyes that in such a formal occasion, Shiraishi-kun must go first, so why do you want to go first?
Facing the warning in her amber eyes, Kiryuin Misae glared back and gestured with her hands in protest.
Kaminagi Rin understood. They were good friends. She could tell what the other person meant even with the extremely amateurish sign language. She also gestured and opened her mouth silently to refute him.
The two performed an intense mime in the background.
Carl walked in front and said to Baishi: "We will start from here, go to Hawaii Island to rest and replenish, then go to Honduras, and enter the Caribbean Sea from there."
Bai Shi didn't know much about sailing, but he understood that flying was faster than driving this modified yacht.
Although there was a magic spell on the bottom of the yacht, he didn't think that this magic spell could give the yacht a speed that exceeded that of an airplane. "Why not take a plane?"
"Don't you want to listen to the mermaids sing?"
Carl showed a smile on his face, as pure as a child's longing for fruit.
He is an adventurer.
In this weird world full of evil spirits, monsters, and goblins, people like him are not uncommon. There are always people who like to pursue the thrill that adventure brings, but there are very few adventurers who can live to old age.
It’s just that people who choose this line of work are all pursuing a life as brilliant as a shooting star, rather than living peacefully until death, and they tend to be very open-minded about death.
"Mermaid..." Bai Shi had only heard of it but had never seen one. He nodded and said, "I understand. Let's go by sea."
There was a stinging gaze behind him. Without turning around, Shiraishi knew who was jealous. It was most likely Kamanagi Rin who was jealous again.
“Do mermaids really exist in the world?”
Kiryuin Misae would not be jealous of Shiraishi's desire to see mermaids. She had the same curious expression on her face.
"Yes, but the news is blocked and generally cannot be known."
Carl is a well-known adventurer and knows a lot of things. "Like the people in Texas, the mermaids were originally humans. Due to the sacrifice of a group of lunatics, they became half human and half fish. Now they live in the first-level sealed area.
We can’t go in, we can only look at it from a distance.”
"Oh I got it."
Kiryuin Misae nodded repeatedly, forgetting Kannagi Rin's instructions, and continued to ask: "Besides mermaids, have you ever encountered any giant sea monsters at sea?"
"Yes, I remember last August, I encountered an octopus in the Pacific Ocean that was bigger than an aircraft carrier. Thanks to the old man's strength, he chopped the octopus in half with one knife."
Karl was still shocked when he recalled the scene of that day.
"Hehe, you are lucky. The Lord God is very strong. I guarantee that there will be no problem on this trip."
Kiryuin Misae puffed out her chest with a proud expression on her face.
"Haha, that's really reliable. I saw that the review said that Mr. Bai's strength is more than level 3. We are lucky to be able to hire him for million yen."
Carl walked to the cockpit, started the yacht, switched to automatic driving, picked up the coffee pot and cups from the bar, and poured coffee for the four people. "That is the treasure map. The red line is the route of our voyage this time."
Bai Shi stared at the treasure map on the bar. It didn't look old at all. It looked very new, as if it had just been printed. He asked in confusion, "Is this map real?"
"I bought the treasure map from the Adventurer's Guild. I don't know whether it's real or fake, or how many copies it has been printed. We need to go there to check it out."
Carl had a relaxed smile on his face.
In his opinion, treasure hunting is like opening a blind box. Before you find it, you will never know whether it is a treasure, or a fake treasure that has already been emptied or is a scam.
It is a good thing to have gains, but it is not worth regretting if there are no gains. The thrilling treasure hunting journey is the treasure worth cherishing.
"It's a man's romance."
Bai Shi didn't mind people who were looking for adventure, and said with a smile, "Anyway, we are just taking orders, whether there is treasure or not, you have to pay what you should pay."
"Of course, if we can really find the Pirate King's treasure, the amount you can get will not be 1.5 million yen."
Carl began to make promises to the four people: "Four fifths of Redbeard's treasure will belong to you, and I only want one fifth of the treasure."
“Is this allocation reasonable?”
When it comes to money, Carl always likes to allocate it in advance rather than on a temporary basis, as that would easily lead to unnecessary conflicts.
If there is a conflict, a newbie like him has no say.
Bai Shi had no intention of monopolizing the treasure, but he did not refuse it either. If he did not want a share, it would probably make the other party worried. "Okay, if you want a share, then share it."
"Haha, wish us a pleasant journey~"
Carl raised his coffee cup and smiled widely.
……
after a few days.
The bright sunshine made the sea sparkle, and the sky was so blue that there was not a single cloud in sight.
They continued their daily practice.
Shiraishi and Carl stayed on the bow deck, erected a parasol, set out beach chairs and tables, and naturally arranged for wine, chatting and bragging to each other.
The yacht rocked slightly, which was normal, but Carl stopped drinking.
An adventurer should relax when he should relax, and be absolutely vigilant when he should be vigilant.
If you are not alert when you need to be alert, you will die.
Many adventurers die because of their self-confidence.
Carl likes adventure, but he doesn't like death, otherwise there would be no need to hire people from the Soul Hunters to protect him.
"Something's wrong with the waves."
Carl walked forward, and white waves emerged from below. Could it be that...
He thought of a possibility and shouted, "Sirs, ladies, please stand still, we have to turn around urgently."
As he spoke, Carl rushed to the cockpit, switched from automatic to manual, and urgently drove the yacht out of the sea.
"Wow."
Kiryuin Meiya hurriedly hugged the wooden man and looked behind her, "Kannagi, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Kami Nagi Rin's voice floated from the stern.
Bai Shi looked down at the sea and said with a smile: "Interesting~"
"what happened?"
Guilongyuan Meiya asked Carl in the driver's seat.
Carl showed a hint of excitement on his face, "Haha, if I'm not mistaken, it should be an island whale!"
"Island whale?!"
Kiryuin Misae didn't know what an island whale was, but if it was called a whale, it must be a very large creature, so she rushed out to the deck.
The waves became more and more rapid, with a large number of white waves emerging from the center and circles of waves spreading around.
A huge monster is about to emerge.
After Carl's emergency turn, the yacht accelerated and was at the outer edge of the waves. It was no longer as stable as before and was drifting like a leaf in the wind.
Guilongyuan Meiya couldn't stand steadily, and hurriedly hugged Bai Shi, laughing, "Haha~ That's amazing!"
"Shiraishi-kun! Look!"
She cried out excitedly, her cheeks pressed against his.
It was difficult for Shiraishi to concentrate on the scenery in front of him, as he was completely attracted by the voice of Kiryuin Miya who was calling in his ear.
The air was filled with the smell of the egg tarts I had eaten in the morning, sweet and pleasant.
"Uh-huh."
Bai Shi answered absentmindedly.
The waves were gradually covered by black. Guilongyuan Meiya stared at that place, and a black skin as big as land emerged from the sea.
In the blink of an eye, half of its huge body was exposed, like a continuous mountain range.
Woo! The island whale spewed out exhaust gas, and some remaining seawater around its nostrils was carried upward by the air flow, forming a very beautiful water mist column.
"What a huge whale! Bigger than a dinosaur!"
Guilongyuan Meiya's eyes lit up, and she was eager to try, "Can I go up and play for a while?"
"No."
Carl spoke up to stop them, "The island whale is a docile animal, but if you provoke it, you will understand how powerful it is."
Kaminagi Rin came over from behind and said, "It's so big! Is there really such a whale in the world?"
"Well, island whales are creatures that can only be seen outside of safe shipping routes."
Carl leaned against the door frame and said with a smile on his face, "It's spectacular, right? I just can't forget such a view, so I embarked on an adventurous journey."
"Not outside the safe route," Kaminagi Rin muttered this word, grabbed the single ponytail of Kiryuin Misae's fate and pulled it back, "Don't hinder Shiraishi-kun."
"Well, don't pull my hair, I'm not a horse!"
Kiryuin Misae protested against her rudeness and let go of her arms, not continuing to stick to her.
Bai Shi came back to his senses, turned around and said, "We have a nice view, let's have a few drinks."
"haha, yes."
Carl replied with a smile.
……
A few days later, the yacht simply replenished fuel and food in Hawaii and headed for Honduras.
"You should be able to sense that the area ahead is a Level 1 sealed area, an area that humans are not allowed to enter."
Carl took a sip of coconut juice and pointed his hand forward, "Be careful, the mermaid's song is very beautiful. People with weak wills will be lured by the song and then crash into the barrier outside the sealed area and die."
Bai Shi smiled and said, "There's no way I can be seduced by singing."
"I will. Please stop me later and don't let me change the route."
Karl shrugged, a trace of memory on his face, and said: "The first time I heard the mermaid's song, I almost crashed the yacht into it, but luckily someone pulled me back."
Thinking back to that time, when I was seduced by the song, I realized, “The mermaid is very mean, she won’t erase the memory of being seduced.
Thinking back on it, I really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into."
Bai Shi was a little surprised and asked, "Then why did you come up to me?"
"Haha, the mermaid's singing is so beautiful."
Carl laughed heartily, took another sip of coconut juice, and stared at the reef in the sea to the right. "Look, that's the mermaid."
A telescope was handed over, and men understand men.
Bai Shi took it tacitly and took a look through the telescope.
The mermaid on the reef is the same as the mermaid in fairy tales, with the upper body being a naked human female.
The lower half is the body of a fish, covered with glittering golden scales, and its tail lazily flaps the surface of the sea.
I have good eyesight and can see them clearly far away.
The mermaid looks up.
