As we kept cutting across Samandour Kingdom, it soon began slling like salt water.
The west of the Sanctuary also faces the sea, but it’s like the south sea has a sowhat sweet, tropical scent.
「The seaaa nyaaa~~!!」
「Mister Sun is so briiight nya~!」
「Howaaa~ lots of water~」
The little girl trio cheered in excitent when they saw the sea from the carriage.
「Uwaa, cool.」
「………………so big.」
「It’s blue, vast, and pretty.」
It seems that even Wappa, Colette, and Miri were impressed seeing the sea for the first ti.
「Takumi-sama, it seems we are steadily getting closer.」
「Got it, I think we’ll be fine since we can activate Perception Inhibitor MD, but let’s be careful so we aren’t noticed.」
Just as I was took over as the driver, the Wind Spirit told us through Sophia that we’re close to cove where the rmaid protectees were.
The location the Spirits guided us to was a small cove. The rmaids likely ca here after escaping from monsters. This is already in the border regions of Samandour Kingdom, a place where there were no villages or towns close by. Originally, they would live close to where people inhabit so they could find a male to pair with, but with the recent monster activity, they had to escape to this small cove.
Maybe because it’s a place untouched by human hands, the cove was really beautiful. With directions from Sophia who could hear the voice of the Spirits, we walked closer to the water’s edge.
Leaving the little sister trio playing by the ebbing and flowing waves to Wappa, Colette, and Miri, we waited for the rmaids to make their appearance.
There were several responses in Kaede’s and my wide-range Presence Detection.
「Master, it looks like the rmaids are here.」
「Yep, they’ve arrived.」
One by one, twelve long green and light blue haired rmaids, the elder half being in their 30’s and the younger half as young as 5-6 years old, erged from within the sea and approached us.
When the rmaids reached shallow waters, they transford into humans and walked with two legs.
Yup, the rmaids were very stimulating.
Their upper halves were concealed in tube top-like swimwear while their lower halves were stark naked.
「K-kaede, prepare clothing for a lot of people urgently!」
「Roger, Master.」
Kaede distributed one piece dresses to the rmaids for the ti being.
A rmaid who appears to be in her mid-twenties approached .
「We heard the story from the Water Spirit-samas. I am Fluna of the rmaid Race.」
「My na is Takumi. At the Great Water Spirit Undine’s request, we’ve co to protect you ladies.」
「Thank you very much. Recently, the monster activity in the vicinity of this sea has beco ferocious. They’ve driven us out of the place we live in, and it is difficult to say that this cove is safe either, as such, we have had to depend upon the Water Spirit-samas for help.」
Everyone looked thin when I took a better look. They probably couldn’t fish normally because of the impact of the active monsters.
「Fluna-san, we will send everyone to a safe sea so please don’t worry.」
「Thank you very much.」
「Master Husband, why don’t we prepare a al for everyone?」
「You’re right. Fluna-san, is there food that you and the rmaids can’t eat?」
「No, it’s fine, be it at or vegetables.」
Marnie had proposed to have a al with the rmaid protectees. She probably noticed the grumbling stomachs of the young rmaids.
When I asked Marnie and Maria to prepare the food, I perceived a large response in the direction of the open seas.
「…………that’s huge.」
「Un, sothing really big is coming.」
Both my Enemy Search skill and Kaede, who is best when it cos to enemy perception among us, sensed it.
「Sophia, evacuate all the rmaids to Tsubaki’s carriage!」
「Ha! Fluna-san! Everyone! Hurry this way!」
Sophia guided the clueless rmaids to shelter.
Our group had already switched to battle stances.
「It’s not a monster that’s in this shallow cove.」
「Did it think there was a lot of prey here?」
I took out Ice Bringer from the my Item Box and waited.
Having co back, Sophia readied Tempest and Maria took out Explode; The three of us were ready to fight.
Marnie took a bow in her hands, and Akane prepared her magic. Lulu-chan was made to co with Fluna-san and the rmaids.
Zazazazaazazaーーーーーーーーー!!
We began hearing the sounds of large waves.
This cove is supposedly shallow, so it should show up any ti now.
「It’s here!!」
Zaabaaaaaaaaan!!
The open-mouthed gigantic figure that appeared from the sea had a serpentine body with dorsal and pectoral fins, with a probable overall length of over 30 ters. A Sea Serpent.
The Sea Serpent is a lesser dragon species like the wyvern, but because of its large body and the fact that fighting in sea is difficult, it is often treated as a higher middle rank monster.
Whether or not it sniffed out the scent of the rmaids or us, it raised its enormous sickle-shaped neck and attacked with its large open mouth.
