My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C173

Episode 173 Sea Rescue

It's not a normal wave. 

The large waves released by Umibozu's water magic hit Yukimaru's deck with tremendous force, perhaps due to the synergistic effect of the fact that they had a mysterious skill called ``Sea Weather'', and the waves that hit the people on the deck with tremendous force. I took most of it away at once. 

There was a strong impact, and then a moment later, I felt like I was sinking into the water, and I couldn't breathe for several seconds, and then I realized that my body had risen to the surface. 

It's not that cold. 

For the time being, I'm not Kanadzuchi, so I realize that I'm not panicking, and feel a little relieved. 

Come to think of it, I was once made to swim clothed during PE in junior high school. Because my physical education teacher was a weird guy. I was the worst as a corporal punishment teacher, but I thought it was a little better for now. That thought probably crossed my mind for just a moment before I was submerged by the waves and floated back up again. 

Calm down, what can you do now? 

I remembered the fifth floor of Scutari's labyrinth and created a "ceramic ship" on the sea. 

However, the draft was high and the waves were strong, making it difficult to crawl onto the ship. It seems like he wasn't calm after all...that's no good. 

(Fly!)

I received Lina's telepathy from the leather bag on my waist. 

That's right, that happened. 

In an instant, my soaking wet body was transferred to the small boat. 

Wait, why aren't the members of my party flying together? 

(It seems like the party teleportation doesn't work because we're too far away.)

As soon as I thought about everyone, my slight calmness disappeared! 

I hurriedly used my map skills to find everyone's location. 

There are still 5 members' points of light! 

“What should I do!?”

(Keep your map skills in mind and teleport to each location and help them in turn!)

Collect one person at a time! I have no choice but to do it. 

　

"First, there."

The light spots reflected in the map skill can be distinguished by the white dots of third parties and the unique yellow or golden glow of party members, but their names are not displayed. 

However, it felt like it was a sign, so I felt like that was where I had the least leeway. 

“Nolte!”

Lina and I reappeared just above the water surface. 

Only my dark brown hair was visible on the surface of the water, and Nolte, who was about to drown, fell to the surface of the water and I floated up to the surface and hugged him. 

I'm sure Nolte can't swim. Despite my girlfriend, she came along on this quest without complaining. 

When I reached out and connected with Lina, who had fallen right next to me, Lina instantly teleported to me. 

I landed with a thud on the floor of the ceramic ship, but I didn't have time to feel any pain. 

Are you drinking water? I don't think about artificial respiration, but I don't have time for that. 

Just make sure to turn it sideways so that water doesn't get into your windpipe. 

Remove Nolte from the party composition and transfer it to Lina again. 

Maggie and Butch were hugging each other, bouncing up and down on the water's surface, flapping their limbs together. 

“Shiro, pup!?”

"Ah"

"Grab me!"

I grabbed the two of them together, and Lina stuck to me from behind and teleported. 

They fell next to Nolte, tangled together. 

“If Nolte is drinking water, please make him throw up.”

After I said that to the two of them while holding back the pain, I removed them from the party and retransferred. 

The delicate elf was floating on the water on its own. He seems to be supporting himself with water magic. 

"Shiro...Lina! Are you okay?"

As soon as Lina fell to the water's surface, she went limp. MP is exhausted! 

As I desperately grabbed Lina in an unaccustomed treadmill, I searched for the item box in my consciousness... There it was. 

This is the last half-piece of the magic recovery pill that Beth made for me. 

After taking a deep breath, she pushed the pill piece into Lina's mouth. 

Swallow it! 

(...Idiot, I could absorb MP if I stuck to you)

(You don't have to talk)

While sinking under the water, they exchanged telepathy, and with the momentum of floating up to the surface, they held hands with Lucien. 

Metastasis. 

Lucien had an excellent sense of balance and landed on the bottom of the ceramic ship without falling. He supports Lina as she stumbles. ...What about me? Come on! 

(Let's go)

They fly at Lina's signal after replenishing their MP. I hit my back so hard I can't even make a sound. 

Carmilla looked surprised as we fell to the water, swimming normally. 

A wolf instead of a dog? The best swimmer was definitely an athlete girl. 

"Master, are you okay? Carmilla is fine."

When I silently hugged Carmilla, Lina chanted the final teleportation. 

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Everyone was saved, you know...Master."

"Ah, good. Is Nolte okay?"

On a small ceramic boat that swayed like leaves, we cast healing spells on each other's battered bodies, healing the broken bones that were probably broken in several places. 

Then, I used clay skills to put a thin cover on the ship to prevent water from flooding, and used wind magic and heat control to dry everyone's clothes. 

By the time I finally had enough time to look for Yukimaru, he was no longer reflected in my map skills... 

"It's not sinking, Carmilla, I could see the ship going in the distance."

"Well, the spirits said there was no sign of the dead, so I guess the fishermen were able to escape somehow."

I want to believe Carmilla and Lucien's words. 

I'd like to think that the Umibozu's purpose was to prevent them from entering the barrier, not to kill them. 

"But where is this?"

"Looks like you've been washed away quite a bit."

Even with my map skills, I don't know for sure. All around us is the sea... 

But suddenly, Carmilla's ears twitched. It's not the nose, it's the ears. 

Then, Lucien also began to listen for a long time. 

"...singing voice?"

"Someone's singing...but this."

Lucien suddenly became serious and chanted a spell. 

“Protect your heart!”

Mental defense magic, what do you mean? 

“This song is not a good song.”

As Carmilla expressed her wariness, we also heard faint singing voices in the distance. 

I don't know who sings it...it's very good, it's beautiful, it's wonderfully moving, it moves my heart... 

“No, no way!”

Lucien blurts out something like anti-drug activities. 

“Lina, layer it up, hurry up.”

Lina, who had not yet fully recovered, transformed into a monk and applied the same "heart protection" as Lucien. 

"Everyone, don't listen to it! This is the demonic voice of a siren!"

Lucien's scream-like voice rang out.
