I Want to Say You Did Well, But…

“R-Running on the lake!?” (Person A)

“What is that boy!?” (Person B)

Voices of surprise could be heard from the ship, but for Leon, running on water was nothing difficult.

“Stone Bullet.” (Leon)

He, then, fired stone bullets toward the swarm of Sahagin in the water.

“Gya!?” (Sahagin)

“Gyagya!” (Sahagin)

“Gyoee!?” (Sahagin)

The Sahagin were accurately shot through the heads with the stones and died one after another. Some individuals hurried to escape underwater, but a stone hit their backs of the heads directly. Even underwater, Leon’s stones pierced through the Sahagin without mercy. It was easy to locate them up to a depth of about ten meters, and the Sahagin gathered near the ship were quickly annihilated. Before he knew it, there were many dead Sahagin floating around, and the lake surface could barely be seen.

“Only the ones on the ship remain.” (Leon)

Leon landed on the deck. The warriors struggling against the Sahagin swarm, including the Sahagin Lord, had somehow managed to recover, perhaps because no new enemies were coming from the lake.

“Gyagyagya!” (Sahagin Lord)

Out of hatred for his comrades, the Sahagin Lord left the humans he had been fighting and jumped at Leon with bloodshot eyes.

*Thud!*

“Gya…?” (Sahagin Lord)

However, suddenly, he stopped moving. The target he was trying to attack had disappeared.

“Behind you.” (Leon)

“!?” (Sahagin Lord)

Hearing the voice from behind, the Sahagin Lord hurriedly turned around.

“Gya!” (Sahagin Lord)

Surprised, he immediately tried to attack again, but at that moment–…

“Too bad. It’s already over.” (Leon)

“~~~~!?” (Sahagin Lord)

A straight line ran through the center of the Sahagin Lord’s body. The next moment, he was cut cleanly in two. When Leon had gone behind earlier, the Sahagin Lord’s body had already been sliced.

“Gyagyaaa!?” (Sahagin)

The Sahagin still on the deck screamed in horror at their lord’s easy death.

They hurriedly tried to flee into the lake, but the human warriors would not let them escape.

“Don’t let them get away! Annihilate them all!” (Warrior A)

“We can’t lose to a child!” (Warrior B)

Leon decided to leave the rest to them. He turned his eyes back toward the lake.

“Shaaaats!” (Sea Serpent)

“Ku ku ku, don’t think someone like you can capture me!” (Meltera)

“~~~~!” (Sea Serpent)

There, Meltera was skillfully moving the small boat to dodge the Sea Serpent’s attacks, and Mona clung desperately to the ship.

“Next, I’m coming for you! Rockfall!” (Meltera)

“!?” (Sea Serpent)

“Ughhh…” (Mona)

Behind Meltera, who was counterattacking with stones, Mona was making a voice unbecoming of a Saintess. Looking closely, her face was pale. Since Meltera was fiercely maneuvering the boat without caring about her passenger, Mona had become seasick.

“…I should have brought her over here.” (Leon)

*Gigi gigi gigi…*

“Looks like it’s leaning quite a bit.” (Leon)

The large ship had taken multiple hits from the water serpent and was falling apart. Water was flooding inside, and the deck was already soaked. At this rate, it would not hold until the shore.

“Sura, split and seal the holes, won’t you?” (Leon)

‘Easy-peasy~’ (Sura)

Several pieces of Sura’s body fell off, each acting with its own will. They moved to the holes in the ship and stretched out to seal them.

“Slimes…?” (Mona)

“Could it be they’re sealing the holes…?” (Meltera)

After sealing all the holes, the ship’s sinking stopped.

“All right, pump out the water inside! Help me!” (Leon)

“““Okay!””” (Suras)

Having cleaned the Sahagin off the deck, they started moving without rest. While this was happening, Meltera defeated the Sea Serpent and approached the large ship.

“How’s that! I defeated it alone!” (Meltera)

“Yeah, I want to say you did well, but… look behind you.” (Leon)

“Huh?” (Meltera)

*Glug glug glug…*

The Saintess Mona was vomiting spectacularly toward the lake.

“Um… are you okay, Saintess-oneechan?” (Leon)

“…Not okay… ugh…” (Mona)

Feeling sorry for her, Leon cast a healing spell. Mona could probably use it herself, but judging by how she looked, she would likely struggle to cast it on herself.

“I-I’m cured…?” (Mona)

Wiping vomit from the corner of her mouth, Mona’s eyes widened.

“Saintess-sama! Are you unharmed!?” (Companion)

“Y-yeah… somehow…” (Mona)

Supported by companions who had rushed over, Mona moved back to the large ship. Meltera also jumped over from the small boat. They somehow managed to steady the large ship and returned to the port.

“Still, I’m grateful. If you hadn’t helped, we would have become lake scum by now.” (Mona)

Thanks to her seasickness fading, her complexion had improved considerably.

“That’s right! Especially my work defeating that water serpent was amazing!” (Meltera)

“Y-yeah… I’m thankful…” (Mona)

Meltera showed a smug face, but Mona’s cheeks twitched. Having gone through such a tough experience, she apparently could not feel gratitude easily.
