SS   - Swimsuit! Dried Squid! Demon King’s Little Sister! 1

—ship.

We are busy fishing on a large galleon.

「I caught a seaweed nano desu?」

「I caught a shoe nano desu?」

「Fuhaha, we, hand riding rabbits….even in terms of fishing, are super first class….our talent is horrible.」

Presently, the hand riding rabbits are fishing garbage and they are very excited about it.

「Master….I’m sorry but you’ll have to excuse me from serving you personally for a while…」

Ouroboros looks like she’s seasick.

And we are supposed to enjoy this ship ride.

「Has the king gone insane? How can he send little girls to subjugate the kraken…」

The captain of the ship, a man named Samson, called out to us.

He is currently in charge of the sea monsters in the adventurers guild. He seemed to have been a pirate before and only belonged to the guild in certain meanings.

「What do you mean little girls…don’t you know anything about the hand riding rabbits?」

「Ah, no. I’m not that familiar about the land affairs.」

I see.

I now understand his worries.

「Will you be okay? Kraken is one hell of a monster. 」

「How big is it? 」

「Well, it’s mostly tentacles…a tentacle is around 40 meters long. It will catch the ship first and then, constrict it with its tentacles like a snake.」

「Fumu fumu. 」

「Then, it will destroy the hull and sink the ship. It will eat the drowning people thrown overboard after that. 」

That’s certainly terrifying. It’s really a monster.

「It is a sea monster so….swordsmen and other melee are helpless against it. The only effective technique to deal with it is using mages and shoot it with magic from a distance. 」

「Maa, we’ll be fine so rest assured. By the way, is kraken material popular?」

From what I heard so far, it seems like we can’t rely on the hand riding rabbits this time.

The muscle brain Sonja is useless too.

Maria and Ouroboros can use magic…and of course, Cornelia is here.

—this is an easy win no matter how I think.

「Hahaha, you are really funny. Do you really think you can get rid of the kraken?」

「That’s why we are here.」

「You were sent by the king so I guess you have something in you but the land and the sea are different. Also, it doesn’t look like there’s anyone from your party that can use magic to beat the kraken.」

「I already told you we will be fine.」

「If you get killed, the ship will be destroyed. Even I will be part of it. I’m not going to leave my life on your hands.」

「What are you trying to say?」

「When we reached the waters where the kraken resides, I’ll give you a small boat.」

「Huh?」

「If you want to die, go f*ck yourself. I don’t want to be part of it. I’m not here to babysit a bunch of kids, got it?」

He said so and sent his gaze to Cornelia, Katya, and Sonja and spat on the spot.

This guy suddenly began to say something unreasonable.

So, what should I do with him…

「Aniki….leave it to me.」

「Atom-kun?」

「I’ll give him a good beating.」

Atom-kun is a good boy.

When he saw that we were being taunted, he did not stand by.

「Oi, captain! What’s wrong with babysitting!? That’s the best thing in the world! People like you are unforgivable!」

That’s the reason you’re mad!

This guy…he’s a hardcore hentai gentleman.

The kind that loves little girls.

And Atom-kun grabbed the captain’s collar—

—ah, he’s being beaten up.

The captain was originally a muscle brain and he’s also a high rank adventurer and a former pirate.

Atom-kun looks like a muscle delinquent but he’s a sage. He’s basically not good at melee.

And Atom-kun came back with teary eyes.

「I have failed you, aniki….I’m sorry.」

「Maa, I think you are too hot blooded, Atom-kun.」

And then…Cornelia spoke grumpily.

「Oi, captain.」

「Ah? What is it, kid?」

「Oi oi, if Cornelia’s going to be the one to pick the fight, it won’t end well.」

「Don’t worry, I’m not going to start a fight.」

「Hnn?」

「Captain, you said that you’ll give us a small boat when we arrive in the kraken territory, right?」

「Yes, that’s right. I won’t come with you.」

「The waters where the kraken reside is…in that place, right?」

Cornelia pointed north and the captain nodded.

「Yes, that’s right.」

「There are about 20 of them gathered there in about 1 kilometer square in that place. Let’s destroy them all.」

And Cornelia pointed her palm on to the north.

「Super Maximum Magic: Level 10 Raijin!」

—lightning.

A roar echoed along with a flash at the north horizon.

I mean, even though it is quite far away, I could clearly see the thick lightning.

No, it’s more of a cylinder since it has a radius of 100 meter.

「That’s it. If you get closer to that area, you’ll see the kraken burned by the electric current floating around. When you get back to land, don’t forget the boat you’ll give us, okay?」

Cornelia said that to the captain and wink. The captain collapsed and looked incredibly pale.

This girl is really a cheat. You mean you cast lightning and sent its electric current throughout the sea within a radius of one kilometer?

To think I’m as powerful as this girl….

The captain repeatedly opened and closed his mouth like a fish and finally, he managed to ask us a question.

「Y-y-y-you…..who the hell are you?」

「—a group of farmers?」
