Chapter 104: Goddess of the Sea

It was night, and I was pacing the deck on lookout duty. Patrolling with a lantern in hand was part of the job. We adventurers weren’t just hired muscle, we were also tasked with keeping watch. There were sailors on lookout too, but if monsters did attack, it was better to have adventurers already on the scene to provide a swift counterattack.

They’d also set up a station where other adventurers were waiting on standby.

“I hope they don’t attack at night. That would be a pain,” I muttered, glancing down at the dark, eerie depths of the sea.

I continued watching the waves for a while before the fifth head urged me to stay cautious.

“Lyle, here they come.”

I turned to see some sailors approaching. What’s more, the color they showed in my head was... red.

It seemed they were hostile towards me.

Are they here to push me overboard?

Just as I was about to make a swift escape, I spotted someone stepping out onto the deck.

“Lord Lyle, it’s time to change shifts,” Novem called out, her voice carrying well and clear.

The sailors hurriedly scattered. Perhaps they decided not to go through with it when there was a witness afoot.

“They gave up surprisingly easily,” I heard the sixth say, “It doesn’t look like they were trying to kill you.”

Yeah, they may have just wanted to warn me to stay away from Vera. Or maybe get a few words in beforethey decided whether or not to toss me off the side. In any case, the sailors likely thought I was overstepping my bounds.

After Novem came May, who stretched as she took in some fresh sea air.

“Aah, I’d love to run around a bit,” she said.

She was talking about reverting to her qilin form and racing around the sky. I glanced around to make sure no one was in earshot before replying.

“You can’t. There are other people on watch.”

“Yeah, and I’m not going to. I know that much. Dealing with the turf stuff around here will be a huge hassle.”

“Turf?”

“If they were friends of mine, I’d be able to talk it out. But it isn’t so easy around these parts.”

Does this have something to do with other divine beasts?

Novem, meanwhile, looked at me with concern. “Those men from earlier were drinking. They were all getting fired up about teaching you a lesson, so I came to make sure nothing happened.”

Drunkards, huh? But that’s also a sign of how much resentment I’ve built up with the crew.

“What a pain. I’m not even trying to seduce her anymore.”

“To them, Ms. Vera is a very important individual.”

“Yeah, this is about her being a goddess, right? I heard about it from Vera, and she’s not too happy about the situation. She said she feels a wall between herself and everyone else.”

“That is an issue,” Novem said, seemingly sharing my concern over the sailors’ attitudes.

But, scratching her cheek, May said, “That girl’s got something to her.”

“Huh? What do you mean, ‘something’?”

“Well, I don’t know exactly what. But she’s got a strange power.
