Helen’s instantaneous movement uses a newly learned magic, or skill, of the Gas Attribute Darkness Succubus, so while the jumping distance is still short, it can be used to teleport to the port and the luxurious sailing ship within sight without much difficulty.
(By the way, I can use the Teleportation Magic Circle without any problems!)
However, it’s impressive enough just to be able to instantaneously move the five of us—myself, Helen, Nastasia, and the Princess Sisters Nataira and Lyra—simultaneously, even with my skill doubling the effect. It should be possible even without a party.
(As I was thinking this, we arrived.)
We landed on the ship in an area surrounded by barrels. I guessed this was a safe zone or an area cordoned off to avoid bumping into people. When we emerged, the person there wasn’t the ship captain but an unexpected figure.
“Hm? Mogunami, what are you doing here?”
“…I’m off today, so I came to enjoy the breeze.”
You have days off?
“Oh, I see. I thought you were here to help.”
“Today, I’m just observing. Or rather, since it’s my day off, I should say I’m here to sightsee.”
“In that case, over here.”
For some reason, I guided her to a relaxed chair that looked quite like leisurewear. I didn’t know they had these, though I guess a ship with a lounge like that would have them.
“Hah, you finally made it.”
“Captain! Thanks for your help today too.”
“Are you ready?” “Ah, we must do that.”
The sea surface was calm. However, I could see the shadows of mermaids, so they seemed to be waiting inside.
“Um, Sarinaami-san, or rather, is the Chief here?”
After a while, only her face popped out!
“Yeeees?”
“We’re starting the hunt. Please take care of the underwater work.”
“That’s fine, but could you give us lunch first?”
Ah, I see, advance payment is required.
(Are the mermaids big eaters too?)
Suddenly, the number of mermaid shadows increased, but only the Chief showed her face. What were they being cautious of?
“Um, Helen, did something happen?”
“Yes, it’s Ange’s fault. She played a bit too much.”
“W-what did she do?!”
While talking, Helen summoned eight Succubi. Ah, it’s Sil-neechan. She’s working in that form?
“The other day, I showed them just nine fruits from the Great Heavenly Tree and told many of the mermaids, ‘Fight! Fight and snatch them!’…”
“Whoa, that’s a brutal thing to do.” “As a result, it turned into an elbow fight.”
So they are being cautious, thinking the same thing might happen. Poor things…
“Then, are they injured?”
“I treated them.” “Ah, Gotchan (Goddess Succubus) did.” “Yes.”
“That’s a bit harsh. Alright, I’ll try apologizing.”
I produced many of the fruits I just received this morning, giving twenty to each of the eight Succubi… With Nastasia and me also contributing, that’s a total of two hundred.
“Uh, I apologize for what our Ange did the other day. This time, to make sure there are enough, I’m giving you two hundred Great Heavenly Tree Fruits!”
Faces immediately began to pop up one after another!
“Please don’t fight over them. No elbows, and no blocking. If you’ve taken two, please give one to someone who hasn’t yet. Let’s do this peacefully.”
“““““Yeeees!””””
Yes, they looked happy from their expressions, though their jagged teeth were still scary…
“Then, here we go. Ready, set…”
As we all threw them at once, it turned into a scene like a bustling beach resort!
(Even the beach in my hometown, Branusiava, isn’t this lively…)
And then they were happily eating. The Chief is amazing; she’s even giving them to children who don’t seem to be involved in the hunt. Yes, it seems everyone finished without any injuries. Advance payment complete.
“Ah, who is the tank for the seabed today?”
“It’s the Ent-Succubus. They can breathe underwater to some extent.”
“Oh, really?” “Use an Item if it comes to that.”
Iwamoto-san gave me something like that. Yes, he dived in with a splash. And next to me was Sil-neechan.
“Older Sister, will you assist me?”
“Yes, I will help Derus.”
“Thank you, I love you, Older Sister!”
I hugged her.
(Ahhhh, Nastasia is biting her nails!!!!)
“My Husband, perhaps this is not the place for it, but…”
“Ah, sorry. I’ll refrain from the ‘flirting with my real Older Sister’ play.”
“No, that’s not what I meant. I can use all the Summons I can call, all my Magics and Skills. That means…”
Uh, thanks to that, I can also use the Goddess Succubus’s super healing magic and resurrection magic, right? Also attack magic, so I plan to make extensive use of area magic, especially lightning-based spells, for hunting…
(Helen’s gaze is on Sil-neechan. Could it be…?!)
“Ah, could it be that Helen is also using mimicry and transformation?”
“Shall we try it here and now?”
“Yes, that’s fine. Ah, Captain, please set sail!” “You got it!”
During a short trip, this kind of play is fine, right?
“Then…”
As Helen willed it silently, her form changed. She became a female version of me, or rather, this is…!!
“…How is it?”
While the Silver Succubus’s transformation was like “my real Older Sister” in terms of body size, the form that the physically larger and more voluptuous Helen transformed into was, for me, precisely…!!
“Mama!”
“My! Derus, you are my Mama!”
I hugged her without thinking!
(First the real Older Sister play, and now I can even do the real Mother play!!!)
While I was thinking these things, we quickly arrived at the bay entrance.
“Ah, Nastasia, the ring is okay, right?”
“Yes, the ring is fine. The ring is.”
But her claws…!!
(I-I’ll quickly raise Nastasia’s Level.)
“Alright, let’s begiiiin—”
