Chapter 239: CH 239

To the Demon Continent


Pushing through the high waves of the ocean, this world’s largest ship propelled forward.
We, who were riding the Combat Ship Oceanus, headed straight south from the Sanctuary.
Steering the Oceanus was entrusted to Doganbo-san and the Dwarves. After we take off in the Airship Ouranos, they will return to the Sanctuary.

Everyone boarded the Airship Ouranos that was parked on the deck of the ship once we were at the open seas outside of Samandour Kingdom.

「Then Doganbo-san, please be careful on your way back.」
「Ou, leave it to us! The Oceanus will be safe even if Sea Dragons pick a fight.」
「Okay, we’ll be on our way.」
「Ou! Hurry up with making a base and establish a gate.」

Entrusting the Oceanus to Doganbo-san, I went in the Ouranos.

Sitting in the cockpit, I pushed the lever and booted up the Levitator MD. The aircraft slowly ascended and I stowed the landing gear.
Once we rose close to 300m in altitude, I lowered the output of the Levitator MD, launched the jet engines, and the Airship Ouranos silently increased its speed as it flew towards the south.

The Airship Ouranos was making its way to the Demon Continent at cruising speeds of approximately 700km/h.

「I imagine we would arrive at the continent before nightfall.」
「Roger.」

While looking at the map we had asked Sylph to draw, Laeva calculated our arrival time. Although it’s called a “map”, it’s not like the accurate maps in my old world, so it was simple estimations.

The Ouranos, which departed from the Oceanus early in the morning, continued to fly in excellent condition.

Partway through, we encountered bird monsters, but they couldn’t catch up with Ouranos’ speed. I dropped the speed for a bit to do a weapon test and tried shooting the Mana Gatling Gun, but I discovered that it was really difficult to take aim.

「……it appears it would hit the slow monsters.」
「……yeah, like large dragons.」

I definitely regret not testing the weapons at Laeva’s consoling words.

Ouranos’ form doesn’t go over the speed of sound and the sound barrier, but none of the flying monsters of this world could catch up to Ouranos’ current cruising speed, so there’s nothing to worry about. Worst case scenario, we escape and will be fine.

……yeah, let’s think of it that way.

As we continued to fly at cruising speeds of 700km/h for 10 hours, the silhouette of the continent came into view.

「Silhouette of the continent spotted ahead, lowering the altitude and moving to search the surrounding coast.」

On the north side of the southern continent known as the Demon Continent, there is a city that makes all sorts of trades with Samandour Kingdom. I tip my hat off to the merchants who cross the ocean filled with dangerous gigantic aquatic monsters for over 10 days to trade with the Demon Continent. That said, it also means the Demon Continent probably has interesting things to offer.

Even if we make a base to search for Akira and the Evil Spirit, it’d be best if we don’t get too close to the other city-states. Even if we did go scouting to gather information, the Airship Ouranos solves the distance issues.

The Demon Continent we saw from the sky was a truly strange sight.
First off, its geography had no regularity. There was a jungle right beside a desert, and once you think “Oh, is that how it is?”, you realize wetlands spread out too. And the presence of monsters was terribly dense.
We discovered a fortress city-state with a port overlooking the coast. The port took advantage of the natural terrain to lessen the damages from monsters, and cleverly piled on breakwaters.

「So that’s the city-state that trades with Samandour Kingdom, huh……」
「That looks to be a nation of Mazoku[1].」

Sophia informed me that that city-state was a country of Mazoku.

Mazoku, a race that the Divine Empire Sydnia and Triaria Kingdom perceives as having monster ancestry. However, this is a complete misconception / mistake. They do not have monster blood running through their veins, nor do they have a magic stone in their body.


The Oni tribe, Succubus Clan, Giant tribe, Devil Clan and the like exist.

「The Oni Tribe and the Devil Clan were said have evolved from monsters because of their appearance, but that is the greatest insult to them, and as such, caution is necessary.」
「About the Succubus Clan, do they suck the vitality of the opposite sex?」
「No, they are a tribe that births only females, but I hear they have a high aptitude for magic.」

I ended up imagining something a bit indecent when I heard “Succubus”. However, I found out that the appearance of the Succubi[2] were not much different from my imagination. Perhaps because the southern continent was warm, they wore extremely revealing clothing, had bat-like wings and two sheep-like horns, and a pointed tail just like what I had imagined. Yup, it’s exactly like the Succubus I had in mind.

In addition to this, the Demon Continent had Mazoku-governed city-states, multiracial city-states, Beastkin-governed city-states and more. Even so, given how extremely seldom interactions were between fellow countries, just how many countries there were couldn’t accurately be stated.

We distanced ourselves from the port-owning city-state and searched for a place suitable for a base.

A place within the quasi-monster nest which has either a river or lake, or even groundwater. My wish was to build a base floating on an artificial lake if there is an abundant underground water vein.

That day, just before it got dark, at 15 minutes of the Airship Ouranos cruising inland, we discovered a place that was suitable for a base.
