I wanted to ask if Kirameki was hurt from what had happened, but it was bluntly obvious. Kirameki was catching her breath. But despite what had happened to her, Kirameki never complained and cared for the less fortunate ones who got hit by the monster. She didn’t suffer a fatal blow, but Kirameki was still hurt. Her wounds were just scratches on her shoulders and hands, and that was about it. Thankfully, those grazes were the only thing she had suffered. If Kirameki were to receive such a devastating blow… I didn’t know what I was about to do with myself. I left my sister in the hands of Francoise and Azure, who were also wounded from the previous strike coming from the kraken. Both of these women were now prohibited to fight. And even if Francoise and Azure could lift their weapons and cast their spells, I doubted their bodies would last much longer. We needed them conscious more than their spells, since their abilities couldn’t hurt a snail. It was better if they could nurse the inj

The Aspidochelone was wounded thanks to the slashing technique Captain Israel taught me. It kept wriggling left to right as if dodging an invisible spell, and continued to move in a zigzag manner every now and then. That beast wasn’t aware of its surroundings. But given its killer instinct, the Aspidochelone somehow knew exactly where to find me and the boat. The same could be described towards the other boss-like creatures, except they moved in an animal manner. I was a human, so I could tell. Nothing was different the last time the monsters and I clashed against each other. But it seemed that these creatures were a bit desperate, as they used their physical spells against us and disregarded everything in its way, including their own kind. The monster still chose to tackle the boat despite its wobbling motions, only for it to collide with the megalodon shark and hit it on the spot. Both their health bars decreased. And the collision was enough to even immobilise the Aspidochelone,

Just beside the hostages and the Kingdom camp, a fleet of ships approached the island. These boats cannot be seen by the naked eye, and they would need a telescope to view things that I could. But since I was gifted with a system that heightened my senses, everything became clear. Even Captain Israel noticed what was happening from afar… “We need to save them… all of them! I don’t have to bring anyone with me, since they’ve just recently fought a losing battle. I don’t want to drag them with me. But I would appreciate it if you still have the strength to accompany me.” “ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?!” I raised my voice, nearly provoking and luring any pirates within the vicinity. So I lowered my tone and resumed where I had left. “Are you out of your mind? Haven’t you looked at yourself in front of a mirror? First of all, you’re wounded. Second, we’ve just came in a fucking battle. A MOTHER FUCKING BATTLE THAT NEARLY KILLED US!?” “But… they’re people, Arata. Aren’t we supposed to help them?

As soon as the conversation with Kirameki and I ended, I hit the sack and rest for a few hours before resuming our journey. The mattress was made of soft leaves found near the coast. It wasn’t like the palm leaves we had from the isolated island, and the trees we used as our bed and pillow seemed awfully nice to my skin. It was even bouncy for a second, but my eyes and mind had already wandered in my rem state, until the sun’s rays blinded my eyes and eventually woke me up.But even though my body had relaxed even for a bit, my mind was in complete shambles. My thoughts battled against each other, blaming myself after what had happened between Kirameki and me. The talk wasn’t supposed to end with a bad taste in our mouths, but it did. And it was mostly my fault. Upon rising from my cushion, I got up and checked on the entire group how they were coping up. It also looked like Kirameki also had a good night’s sleep, but her mind was pretty jerked up. By the time she saw me, everything
