My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C127

Episode 127 Transfer magic

By the time we got back on deck, the battle was almost over on the bow and stern, and the few remaining pirates were barely able to get off the Red Skull, which was sinking in a huge explosion. He jumped into the sea, aiming for the boat. 

We don't have the energy to pursue them, and even if we corner them, it won't bite the cat in a corner, but we might also suffer damage. Above all, everyone felt like they had had enough of killing each other. 

There were things I had to do even more quickly. 

The unharmed sailors are desperately trying to get water to extinguish the fire that is spreading to the mast. 

It seems that the frogman merchant can also use water magic, and he sprays water within reach from the deck. 

Lina, Lucien, and I also joined in and released water magic like a water cannon, and managed to extinguish the fire. 

However, the mast is already quite burnt, and the bottom part is thinner in some places. If a storm were to come, it would probably blow over. I covered it from the root to the thinner part with my clay skill, hardened it, and reinforced it. 

The sailors are wide-eyed. 

"I wonder if there's magic like this...Thank you. I think I can go all the way to Damascus with this."

Sailor Captain Bowen, who appeared to have been hit by an arrow and had a bandage on his shoulder, called out to me. 

But it's not over yet. 

The sailors began to panic as they saw the speed at which the pirate ship was sinking gradually accelerating. 

It seems that if a ship much larger than us sinks, there is a risk that a whirlpool will form and pull us in. 

At the direction of the captain, we raised the safe sails and hurried to get away as much as possible. 

Then, once we were finally at a safe distance, the remaining sailors and I divided up and carried the bandit's corpse onto the deck and threw it into the sea. 

Honestly, it's creepy to touch it, but I can't leave it lying around forever. 

Then, the bodies of those who died on this side were carefully wrapped in cloth and lined up on the edge of the ship. 

Considering that the Pirate King's gang and those on board a merchant ship fought and barely managed to repel them, the damage was surprisingly small. 

However, two sailors and Veran, a LV14 warrior who was fighting to protect the merchants on the stern side, died. It is said that he took up his own sword and used it as a shield for his employer, a merchant named Ars, who was attacking pirates. 

First, the captain praises the courage of the three and offers words of gratitude, followed by Perthes, the LV16 monk from Sidon's party, who is the highest-level monk here, and recites a holy verse. 

In accordance with this, we clasp our fingers together, bow our heads, and pray together. 

If we were unlucky, we would have ended up like this.Now that I think about it, maybe the decision to fight against the pirates was reckless after all, but I don't know the correct answer. 

However, since I'm still alive, I have no choice but to survive this second life. 

Sailors pick up the body wrapped in cloth and carry it over the edge of the ship and back into the sea. 

Perthes recited the scripture again, and we chanted in unison. 

In addition to the dead, nearly half of those who took part in the battle were injured. 

Especially in the first shooting battle, many people were injured by gun bullets and arrows. 

There were three people in our house who could treat, Lina, and Lucien, so we treated the injured on the deck, which had been turned into a field hospital. 

Fortunately, only one sailor and one merchant suffered serious injuries that couldn't be cured with healing spells and potions. 

At my party, I had a cut on my shoulder before I knew it, and Nolte had a bruise and sprain from colliding with a pirate, but both of them could be healed with magic. 

Carmilla was found by the pirates while escaping and received a fairly deep wound on her arm, but since werewolves have a small amount of HP recovery skills, the wound was about half closed before they could treat it. 

We washed our bloodied bodies and clothes with water magic, and then took turns having a late dinner at the dining room on the deck. 

In the distance above the darkened sea, I could see something that looked like pale demon flames floating in spots, like the souls of the dead. But no one said anything about it. 

　

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

When I woke up the next morning, my alchemist job level had risen to 16 and I had gained 1 skill point. 

I can't even remember how many thieves the entire party defeated. 

I changed jobs from adventurer when I was LV16, so I wonder if it's time to think about the next job change? 

However, there seems to be a limit that you can only change jobs two or three times, so there is a possibility that the next one will be your last. In that sense, it seems better to think carefully. 

Other things that leveled up were Carmilla's werewolf level 14, Lina's wizard level level 15, and she finally learned the "transfer" spell. 

This opens up a lot of possibilities. 

According to Lina, you can fly anywhere within the visible range, but outside of that, something like a menu screen appears and you can register up to 10 locations you want to teleport to. 

However, it seems that you can only register "where you are", so for example, you can't fly to Scutari or the royal capital Deva right now, so you'll need to go there and register from now on. In other words, you can't fly directly to a place you don't know. 

"Huh? So, what will happen if we register this Tofu Maru? The ship will move."

"Hmm, I won't know until I try, but maybe I can fly to the Tofuumaru where I moved to. If it's the coordinates I was at when I registered, I'll fall into the ocean, right?"

I had doubts, so I went out on deck and tried it out. 

After having Lina register a certain location on the deck, I return to the cabin, wait a few minutes, and then teleport. During this time, the ship must have traveled several hundred meters. 

When I got on deck, Lina was right where I had registered. 

"It's a success. After all, once you register on board, you can fly on that ship."

"What were you going to do if it was wrong?"

“You can collect it by ‘going home’.”

"I'll be soaking wet before that happens."

I was hit hard. Even if you don't get too angry...maybe it's a lack of calcium. 

If you use this, you can stow away on the Tofumaru as much as you want... It would be difficult for the police in another world. 

After that, I formed a party and confirmed that we could all fly together. 

However, as the number of people increases, the amount of MP consumed also increases. 

Basically, "transfer" is a magic that consumes a lot of MP, and as the distance increases, the consumption increases accordingly, and it is difficult to use it frequently. 

For example, which is more efficient, flying 1km twice or 2km once? I couldn't test it on the ship, so future verification is required. 

However, the traveling envoys who transported the whole party from the royal capital to Scutari at once were amazing. 

That's what I realized while comforting Lina, who was exhausted due to MP depletion. 

That afternoon, a warship from the city-state of Adan caught up with the Tofumaru. 

It's a large, heavily armed sailing ship comparable to the pirates' Red Skull. Adan seems to be a leader among the small and medium-sized city-states facing the archipelago. 

And this ship was also the closest military ship that LV16 wizard Odds contacted yesterday before the battle with the pirates. 

It seems that if our ship had been plundered, they would have chased after us, hoping to at least take back the prisoners. 

However, on the way, they encountered a pirate lifeboat and captured it. 

It seems that he heard the story from them and searched for Tofuumaru with some doubts. 

"Then, did you really defeat Balzac's party just by yourself?"

The commander asked Captain Maggart, looking genuinely surprised. 

It seems like it was a battle that, according to common sense, there was no way they could win. 

According to what remains of the pirates, it seems that Balzac was not saved. 

"We, the city-states, were having trouble dealing with the Four Pirate Kings of the archipelago. Since you defeated one of them, I'm sure you'll receive a letter of appreciation soon..."

Um...did you just say "Four Pirate Kings"? 

Are there still three others? 

"In other words, it's like, 'He was the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings, and I'll show him the true power of the Four Heavenly Kings.'"

That's wrong, Lina, how do you know such template lines?
