Now, to the Panemo Offshore!

* * *

Now, the next morning!

The weather is clear again today!

It looks like its going to be hot today too!

Under such a refreshing summer blue sky, where am I now, you ask

<<<Anego! Hows the ride!?>>>

No problem.

Im on top of Zaratopus head!

Standing on the head of this friendly Great Sea Serpent, with my arms crossed I am advancing through the vast ocean!

Even this sea, which seemed to have little wind and small waves when viewed from the cape, is a different story when going offshore.

With a loud sound of zaan, zaan, huge waves crash into Zaratopu, and the spray wets my body.

Zaratopus body continues to sway violently up and down.

I just said No problem, but Zaratopus ride quality itself is the worst.

However, dont underestimate my fantasy inner ear.

I dont feel sick at all, and my condition is perfect.

Thats why theres No problem.

<Im glad to hear that. Please keep it up in preparation for the upcoming battle.>

Now, where are we heading, you ask its the sea area that Zaratopu said was originally its dwelling.

We are going to defeat the monsters that are said to be occupying that area the Panemo offshore.

To summarize Zaratopus story from yesterday, it goes like this.

After escaping from its group, Zaratopu lived peacefully in the Panemo offshore for a long time.

Due to the ocean currents, humans didnt approach, and that place, which was slightly shallow and full of fish to catch, was Zaratopus favorite territory and a heavenly place for it.

However, recently, that situation drastically changed.

<<<Two demons appeared>>>

I dont know what a Great Sea Serpents complexion looks like, but probably based on the tone of its Telepathy, Zaratopu said that while turning pale.

Two demons.

Giant magical beasts that rival even Zaratopus huge body.

Those creatures suddenly appeared in Zaratopus territory and started attacking it.

Originally, those two, who shouldnt possess much intelligence, moved as if they were coordinating with each other despite being different species, and cornered Zaratopu.

Zaratopu, who was already timid and lacked confidence in fighting, became completely frightened and abandoned its favorite territory and fled without much struggle.

And the place it ended up was that cape, causing trouble for the residents of Panemo Village.

<<<Ah, but I didnt stay holed up at the cape the whole time! I basically went out a bit in the opposite direction of my original territory to eat! There were a lot of big human ships floating there at first, but recently there are fewer, and its a relatively easy place to live!>>>

No, Im not interested in the information about whether its easy or not to live there from a Great Sea Serpents perspective.

Anyway, whats important are those two giant magical beasts.

Were going to defeat them.

That way, Zaratopu can return to its original territory.

The people of Panemo Village wont have to be afraid of Zaratopu.

Case closed, hurrah.

<<<But I really dont understand why those two attacked me they might have their own circumstances too>>>

Im impressed by Zaratopus kindness for saying such things, but I made it stop speculating further.

I decided to help Zaratopu.

I decided to kill those two magical beasts.

The only thing behind this battle is my selfish thinking.

Thats good enough.

If anything happens, Ill take the blame for being tyrannical or thoughtless.

Anyway, defeat them.

Kill them.

Kill them!

While being rocked by the waves on top of Zaratopu, I consciously dye my mind bright red.

* * *

<<<Weve arrived, Anego!>>>

Zaratopus Telepathy reaches my mind, which had become a bit dazed from raising my killing intent too much.

I hurriedly regain my composure and look around, but

Here?

<<<Yes, here!>>>

I cant really tell the difference from the surrounding sea areas.

It looks exactly the same as the sea around it.

<<<But this is definitely it this is now their territory they could attack at any moment.>>>

Being told that, I brace myself again.

Since Zaratopus movement has ended and I dont have to worry about wind resistance, I deploy Black Arms.

<<<Those guys are in a word really creepy fellows. You never know what theyll do. Please be very careful.>>>

Understood.

I reply with few words and heighten my vigilance.

Then, at that moment.

Bubble, bubble, bubble!

Right in front of us, about a few dozen meters ahead on the sea large bubbles started rising from underwater and popping!

<<<Ah! T-Theyre here! Its them!>>>

Zaratopu sends a Telepathy while making a high-pitched warning sound!

Bubble, bubble, bubble!

Do paaaahn!!

Almost simultaneously, the amount of bubbles popping on the sea surface increased, and the sea surface suddenly swelled up!

!!

The being that leaped out of the sea with a large splash of water that was one of the demons Zaratopu spoke of!

A huge body that makes Zaratopus size pale in comparison reminiscent of a small island!

Gigantic claws that could easily tear apart even dragons!

A blood-red, intimidating color scheme!

An extremely thick carapace that exudes a heavy presence like steel!

Furthermore, it has numerous large barnacles clinging to it, waving their tentacles eerily!

In a word, its!

A super, giant shrimp!!

<Aah! This is!?>

Extra-sama, noticing something upon seeing the giant shrimp, shouts!

Whats wrong!?

Do you know about this guy!?

<Yes I know, without a doubt! I have seen this shrimp before in the Fishing Gods isekai reincarnation broadcast!>

W-What did you say!?

<This is the legendary giant shrimp that is said to have destroyed a maritime nation!>

The legendary giant shrimp!?

<It has been feared as the king of shrimp for at least 500 years!>

The king of shrimp!?

<The number of fixed nets it has torn apart with its giant claws is countless! The total damage has already reached an astronomical figure!>

The fishermens nemesis!?

<Its name is The Shrimp That Rules All Shrimp, Ebitouzi!!>

EBIIIIIIIIIIII!!

Ebitouzi, while letting out a ferocious scream raised its giant claws high in the sky in an intimidating manner!

The shrimp of a different world screams!!
