Surviving a Harsh Fantasy with Cheat Items (WN)

Chapter 107.3: Honeymoon

This is pretty hard.

Well, Im trying to work out a compromise. Looking at my face, sensei continued.

I wanted you to know the current situation of the Kingdom of Silesie. For now, we may rent a port in the duchy but if we want to have a good port in our own country, we will have to subjugate the nobles of the south and put them under the royal power. Only then we can acquire the City of Nantes.

Senseis ambition is directed toward the sea. However, Im sure its not limited to the territory of the noisy local nobles of the south.

I know it well. This is the reason she brought me to the sea on our honeymoon.

Across the border of the territory of the south nobles, is the Kingdom of Castilla which has an invincible fleet. Its not good for our country since they are hostile towards the Britanian Union over the interests of the open sea. We also have to keep in mind the cases where we can attack from the sea.

The name of a new country was mentioned and the location on the map pointed out by sense was a peninsula jutting out into the open sea beyond the territory of the south nobles. In my world, that is Spain.

Right, Ive heard of the invincible armada in history class.

Well, I guess its great that we almost have no shipping business.

Eh? What do you mean?

Sensei, who has been excitedly talking about diplomacy, explains with a sigh.

In countries where shipping is thriving, pirates will surely show up so we dont have to worry about them for now.

There are pirates?

The thieves even built a thieves guild so I shouldnt be surprised if there is a pirate guild too.

Im getting more interested in them now.

There are pirates in the sea north of here. Their stronghold must be in ports that are out of reach of the control of the Britanian Union or the countries that made up Germania Empire. From there, they would launch pirate ships to attack merchant ships.

He told me that there are also such things as private ships that attack enemy countries for the benefit of the country.

Just as thieves sometimes participate in wars as mercenaries, pirates sometimes act as mercenaries of the sea to supplement a navy.

If that is the case, once you capture the pirates and bring them under your control, you can also make a navy with them.

If you can actually do that, every country would have done it already.

Sensei only knows book knowledge and doesnt seem to know the essence of the operation of a navy that much.

Well, Im an amateur myself. I guess Ill just keep that idea for now until the time we need a navy.

Well, since were here, lets have some fun by stone skipping.

Stone skipping?

I picked up the flattest stone I could find and threw it horizontally. The stone bounces on the surface of the sea along with the sound of water flying with every bounce.

The stone I threw managed to jump ten times given my amplified power.

Thats amazing. Ive never seen such a game before but I cant do it well.

The sea has waves so this is originally played in rivers or lakes.

Sensei tried to imitate me but she could only make the stone jump once or twice. When Silhouette and Caroline tried it, it didnt work either.

Sharon and Ria, whose arm strength was well trained, were able to make the rock jump three times against the waves when they threw them as hard as they could.

Finally, when Oracle-chan threw the stone horizontally, it made a shrieking sound and flew horizontally to a considerable distance without touching the sea once. It disappeared in the end.

I wonder how her tiny body can do such a feat.

Well, I guess Im the winner.

No, this is not a game where you send the rock flying as far as possible.

Oh, so were not playing on who can throw rocks the furthest?

Oracle-chans twin tail sways along with the sea breeze as she looks at me provocatively.

Hou..

Alright, then Im going to get serious.

I picked up a slightly wide stone for stability and threw it with all my might.

Throw!

Im a hero. I used a little too much force and the trajectory was a little off but I was able to get through with brute force.

If I give it my all, I can make it fly as far as Oracles rock.

Hohou, then, Ill do it this way!

Oracle-chan chanted and threw and the waves partially subsided. The stone she threw dashed through the surface of the calm water.

I cant use magic but using magic to manipulate sea waves is pretty cool. And she knows exactly what it means to play with stones, doesnt she?

Alright, if thats what Oracle wants then, lets get it on!

Are you kids..

I came back to my senses when sensei said that.

Well, its a childrens game.
