Exactly two days later, all the ships returned to their original state.

“gi… Miracle! It’s a miracle!”

“Blessing of the sea god!”

The sailors, who knew nothing, just cheered.

“Hmm… .”

We, who knew the whole story, kept our mouths shut.

***

“It’s really been two days?”

“Yeah.”

And during that time I was deeply asleep.

No, you were sleeping for two days?

My body feels strangely light. I guess it’s because I slept so well.

“The witch said sorry and gave me this and that.”

“And you even made a reservation for me on the best ship.”

It seems like he passed out while having tentacle sex with the Kraken, but it seems like he enjoyed it to a point where it was a little dangerous.

Hmm… I think my sensitivity and libido almost reached 99.

Did you take a picture?

I don’t remember very well.

Anyway, I’m glad that there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.

Honestly, I feel a little bad about it all because of that witch, but I decided to forget about it since she gave me a reward.

Because after putting them in my bag and checking them once, all the items she gave me were elixirs.

Ten bottles of elixir that fully restores stamina and magic power.

And there are also three gold bars that were probably given to me to redeem.

Money and items?

If this happens, you have to forgive me.

I’m the type of person who doesn’t hold grudges over things like that.

Who am I?

Aisha, a woman with no afterthoughts.

Okay, let’s call this a wrap.

“Are you really okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay. But since the ship has returned, I guess we should start again.”

It feels like I only spent one night here, but they spent two days here.

I think it’s time to start again.

“Ah, if you’re still not feeling well, it’s okay to go later… .”

“No, I’m really fine. In fact, I feel better than usual?”

I didn’t say that in vain to ease your worries.

My body feels really light, as if I’ve received some kind of buff.

Right now, I feel like I could use about 1.2 times the usual attack power…!

“Second Asia… !”

It turned out to be not just Asia, but Super Asia!

“Oh, really?”

“Then today… .”

But for some reason, they hesitated for a moment with a strange expression on their face.

Huh? Why are you doing that?

“Is there anything else you want to do here?”

“Huh? Oh, no! No, that’s not it!”

“Ugh, yeah! If Asia is okay with it, let’s go right away!”

It’s even more suspicious to see him desperately deny it.

“Um… ”

“Oh, Asia! Do you want to go see the ship we’re going to ride?”

“Oh, yes!”

Yeah, well, I guess it’s okay since we’re leaving today.

I put aside my momentary doubts and followed Karin out of the dorm.

“Huh?”

Come to think of it, this is a low-class inn.

I slept for two days… .

Two days… .

…here?

“Karin.”

“Uh, yeah?”

“What happened to me during that time?”

“… … .”

An elf who can’t lie.

Her mouth was tightly shut.

“Karin?”

“… … .”

This is probably her best resistance.

Even now, he is keeping his mouth shut with a bright red face.

You’ve come a long way, Karin…!

But even if you don’t try hard to hide it, it’s already revealed in your expression!

I cautiously opened the status window.

Well then, that’s right.

I guess a lot happened while I was sleeping.

“Let’s go.”

“Ugh, yeah!”

The fact that we had been intercepted was buried in the darkness and we decided to leave the port.

Why was everyone so restless? This was the reason.

Well, I decided to keep quiet since it seemed like he wasn’t saying anything for my sake.

But when I think about it, it’s a little annoying.

Do you think I would have kept not knowing if you didn’t tell me?

No matter how much I thought about it, I felt wronged because everyone seemed to think I was an idiot.

“Right, Ravi?”

Ravi looked up at me from his sternum, his expression blank, but I couldn’t tell for sure, but I thought he was asking if I really thought that.

Kook.

I felt like I had lost to the doll, so I pushed Ravi back into my chest.

“I can see land!”

It doesn’t feel like we’ve sailed very far, but we can already see the other side.

I don’t know if it was because the ground was that close or because it was a game so I just skipped over it, but either way, it was just the right amount of time since I don’t think I would have been able to stand it any longer because it was boring.

Choaack!

The ship docked in the port, accompanied by a strangely familiar sound effect.

“Oh.”

“Wow… .”

The place I set foot on was very foreign, but it was a place I always came to.

I don’t know why it’s included in Western-style fantasy, but it’s a city with a national style that is never absent from JRPGs…!

It’s Yamato!

“Sigh… .”

Actually, I have a disease where my blood pressure goes up and I collapse whenever I see samurai or ninjas in medieval European fantasy, so I feel really uncomfortable.

No, why can’t I add some Japanese elements and get impatient?

If it were me, I would be incredibly embarrassed.

If the All Japan Traditional Culture Association… or simply the All Japan Association for short, is doing dark lobbying, then it’s not that hard to understand.

“It’s a unique style. But somehow it feels beautiful.”

“What a peculiar outfit. Is that Yamato’s traditional attire?”

“I heard that they worship the sun god here too. I heard that the name is a little different, but there is a theory that the sun religion actually originated from here… .”

Oh, no.

I can’t stand it anymore…!

“Ah, aaaah!”

“Asia! What’s wrong?”

My physical strength has already reached its limit.

***

“Ugh, ugh… .”

“Are you okay, Asia?”

“Is it possible that the aftereffects of the Kraken incident still remain?”

Here is…?

When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar… no, unfamiliar, yet strangely familiar ceiling.

It’s not a building of the style we usually see.

Yeah, it’s strangely oriental, like being inside a Japanese-style building… .

“Ah.”

Yeah, right.

We arrived at Yamato.

“Sigh… .”

It’s not that I particularly dislike Japanese-style games.

Because I have almost all the games that start with a kunoichi in my library right now.

The setting of a kunoichi who failed to infiltrate makes my heart race every time I see it.

However… I just don’t like how they suddenly force it into a background that doesn’t fit!

“Is it because I can’t adapt to such an unfamiliar space?”

“Maybe so.”

It’s an unfamiliar space. It’s unfamiliar, but…

If you are familiar with it, then you are very familiar with it.

I was lying on the mat, not in bed, and fiddling with the blanket.

Hmm… I like the cozy feeling.

“I’m sorry, I fell down again for no reason.”

“No, you don’t need to push yourself when you’re sick.”

“Huh? No, it doesn’t really hurt… .”

But before I could continue speaking, they shook their heads.

“Asia is resting here. We will investigate the earth sign ourselves.”

“Uh, yes?”

When I blinked, they looked at me with great concern and said kindly:

“Asia… is taking care of herself for the time being.”

“Huh… ?”

I guess I’ve been worrying them too much lately.

So, out of the blue, I ended up recuperating in this town.

***

“Sigh… .”

Second day of recuperation. I’m bored.

Maybe it was because I had been down for two days, but everyone was overly worried about me.

They told me not to move around too much, not to come out of the hotel, etc… If someone saw me, they would think I had a serious illness.

Of course, my body is actually in good shape, so I don’t really need to lie down all day.

So while they were out and about investigating, I would sneak out like this.

In my hand is a plate of dango.

I always wanted to try it at least once because it always appears in games.

“Um… .”

I don’t know what real dango tastes like, but the dango here didn’t taste that bad.

It’s moderately sweet and good.

People passing by glance at me, probably because of my unfamiliar hair color.

Because everyone here had dull hair.

Black hair, brown hair, or blue hair… .

“Oh, pervert sister!”

“Who’s a pervert!”

I turned around, startled by the familiar voice.

A pretty woman in a kimono with blue hair.

She is the only daughter of the inn where I stay.

“… Konoha.”

Yeah, the name is Konoha.

It still feels awkward whenever I call your name.

I’m always used to calling people by their Western names, so calling them by their Japanese names makes me feel itchy for no reason.

“But only my sister and her friends wear clothes that are so revealing.”

“Ugh… .”

It’s not a wrong thing to say, it just hurts a little.

But… that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to argue against!

“Why, there are others besides us. Kunois who walk around in perverted body mesh suits… .”

“That, that’s a workout outfit!”

At my comment, Konoha suddenly blushed bright red and shouted.

Yeah, that shy reaction.

Probably 100%.

“Wow, originally, kunoichi value activity, so they have to wear clothes that are well-ventilated… and, well, it’s embarrassing, but sometimes you have to use your body, so such clothes are not a choice, but a necessity… .”

Look at the stream of things that come out when you poke it.

Konoha was twisting her body, trying hard to hide her embarrassment and making excuses.

If someone saw this woman, they would think she was a kunoichi, right?

Yeah, that’s true.

Konoha is a kunoichi.
