Next up is port town Keyha! Yaaay! Im looking forward to it soooo much!

Alright, lets stock up plenty and plentyyyy!

Hmmthe last time I went there and ate somethin, it didnt taste all that special, though.

He really doesnt get it. Fish is great even when eaten raw!

When we switched to Bronko on the way

Ooohh! The scent of the sea hangs in the air!

Hmm? Ah, this is what you call it, huh?

The ocean!!! Im so hyped!

I want to make a swimsuit. Ill use the insect fabric for it.

Swimsuit? You mean clothes you wear round water?

Indeed! Well, it doesnt really matter for men. As long as you wear a pair of pants thats not transparent and hides your nether region, the rest doesnt matter. But, for women its different! I have to make a cute swimsuit~

Sword immediately poured cold water on me as I was in high spirits.

Dont worry. It wont make any difference if you wear the same as men. You not havin nythin down there is goin to make it easier to sew as well, right?

I CA-NT HE-AR A THI-NG!

Once we entered the town after passing the checkpoint, I exclaimed, Oohh! Oooooohhh! A seashore fantasy!

It was a town suited for houses made out of earth the most so far. I could also see masts in the background. Probably because sailing ships were anchored at the port.

Once I squealed cheerfully, Sword said with a laugh, You sure got it nice. Everythings new for you. Ive come here in the past, so I cant get so deeply impressed bout everythin.

Seeing Sword so indifferent about it, I pointed a hand at the sun, Then, become moved from now on! The sea is close and there are no tall grasses, so the sunlights reflections on the water are dazzling! The harmful sun rays are glittering!

And I should be moved by that? Listen up, just make sure to block the harmful sun rays, kay?

Since Ive been doing that, his skin has become quite beautiful. Hes looking a lot younger these days.

Touringdriving Bronko along the coastline rocks. It feels nice to feel the salty wind on your skin while watching the glittery sea, you know?

Yep, okay, Im deeply moved now!

I guess Sword has started to feel all excited too now.

First off, the guild. By now itd become a standard routine for a guild to become noisy once we named ourselves. And the guildmaster immediately showing up was a common occurrence too.

Behind us,

That hero?

Eh? Ah, right, you dont know him, do you? Hes a hero because, someone started to explain.

But still, I wasnt the only one! In the end, theres people who dont know about Sword being a hero. Just like me!

We were led to the guildmasters room and shown the pending requests.

Isnt there something like a leviathan around? Itd be quite thrilling! A giant squid would be nice too! Squids taste great!

The guildmaster became flabbergasted upon my remark.

Sorry ttell, but neither of em can be found here. How about this here? Its somethin similar.

He held out a request form.

By the way, the guildmaster of Keyha was sunburned and his appearance totally screamed Man of the Sea.

Hmm! I see, I see!

Mmh? You like it? Sword asked.

This is tasty too.

You plan to eat (teat) it!?

The two men cried out in harmony.

I mean, a Darking Octopus is an octopus that shoots out ink, no?

Octopus is all about Takowasa! Gah, I dont have any wasabi, though Oh well, its also delicious when roasted or fried. Ill make a superb dish out of it, so you should try it as well. Octopus eggs are great too, but I wonder whether well be able to find any.

The guildmaster stared at me with a blank look and his mouth agape. Is the jinx that otherworld inhabitants dont eat octopus really true? Sword seems to be fine with it, though.

I see. Its incredibly grotesque, but your sayin its tasty, eh? You seriously eat nythin, dont you?

I dont eat bugs, you know?

Figures. Itd make no sense for you to eat em, seein how much you dote on them.

He told me, but Im not doting on them!
