The Magic of “Analysis” Sees Through Everything – Chapter 140

“This feels good~!”

ㅤ

Alma is laughing with a radiant smile while looking at the horizon from the bow of the ship.

ㅤ

The ship glides across the sea surface, raising a spray of water.

ㅤ

Luke and Alma are on their way to Osten Island with Kiel.

ㅤ

“Look! Luke! It’s a dolphin! It’s my first time seeing a dolphin!”

ㅤ

“Ugh. . .”

ㅤ

Contrary to the frolicking Alma, Luke was rolling on the deck with a pale face.

ㅤ

“Are you okay?”

ㅤ

“I’m. . .I’m fine. . .”

ㅤ

Luke, who answered in a hoarse voice, covered his mouth before he could finish his words.

ㅤ

He ran to the side of the ship and vomited a large amount of stomach contents into the sea.

ㅤ

“Are you really okay?”

ㅤ

“I. . .I might not be okay. . .”

ㅤ

Luke, who answered while leaning against the side of the ship, had a face that had already turned pasty beyond blue.

ㅤ

“If it’s that hard, you didn’t have to force yourself to come, did you?”

ㅤ

“I. . .I had no choice.”

ㅤ

“About Flora-sama?”

ㅤ

Luke nodded weakly.

ㅤ

He had confessed to Alma what he had been asked by Flora the night before.

ㅤ

“If Luke has decided, I won’t say anything more, but don’t push yourself, okay?”

ㅤ

Alma sat down next to Luke and gently stroked his back.

ㅤ

“But why didn’t you tell me when you two were talking about it?”

ㅤ

“Well, probably because Flora-sama wanted you to enjoy a normal vacation. I wanted to keep it to myself as much as possible, too.”

ㅤ

At first, he thought it would be enough to just check the public order and the attitudes of the influential people towards the royal family.

ㅤ

However, the southern territories seemed to have more problems than Luke had imagined, and he decided that he had no choice but to ask for Alma’s cooperation.

ㅤ

“Is that so?”

ㅤ

Alma rested her head on Luke’s shoulder.

ㅤ

“I’ll do anything if I’m with Luke, so I want you to tell me if anything happens.”

ㅤ

“Of course. . .I also. . .ugh.”

ㅤ

Luke’s face turned blue again as he spoke to Alma.

ㅤ

“Oh, you’re really suffering, aren’t you?”

ㅤ

Kiel came over.

ㅤ

She walked as lightly as if she were walking on the ground, even on the swaying deck.

ㅤ

“What. . .what is this. . .as soon as I get on the ship, I feel. . .ugh. . .”

ㅤ

Luke stuck his head out from the side of the ship again.

ㅤ

“That’s seasickness. It’s common for people who are not used to ships.”

ㅤ

“Seasickness? This is. . .”

ㅤ

He had heard of it, but he didn’t think it would be this bad.

ㅤ

The inside of his body felt unbearably heavy, and although he didn’t have a fever, his head was fuzzy and he couldn’t think properly.

ㅤ

It felt like the morning after being forced to drink cheap liquor.

ㅤ

“I didn’t imagine it would be this bad. . .”

ㅤ

He looked up at the sky, panting heavily.

ㅤ

“It depends on your constitution and physical condition~ Some people are fine.”

ㅤ

Kiel handed Luke a water bottle with a laugh.

ㅤ

“What do you want to do? Shall I cast a healing spell for seasickness? I can do that much.”

ㅤ

“. . .No, I’ll pass for now.”

ㅤ

Luke answered while drinking water.

 ㅤ

“This is also an experience. You wouldn’t have this opportunity otherwise.”

ㅤ

“Huh, well, that’s fine. You’re quite unusual, Luke, to purposely get seasick.”

ㅤ

“Haha. . .”

ㅤ

Luke gave a weak laugh and then began to groan again as he lay down on the deck.

ㅤ

“It’s better to look at the horizon or as far away as possible. That way, you’ll get used to it faster.”

ㅤ

“Thanks for the advice. . .”

ㅤ

Luke staggered to his feet and leaned against the ship’s side, looking out at the horizon.

ㅤ

A small island shadow could be seen beyond the horizon.

ㅤ

I wonder if that’s Osten Island.

ㅤ

“Ugh. . . It’s still far away. . .”

ㅤ

As he let out a cry of despair, he saw a black shadow approaching from the horizon.

ㅤ

“. . .It seems like something is coming this way. . .”

ㅤ

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Kiel! Someone’s coming this way!”

ㅤ

A crew member on the lookout tower on the deck shouted.

ㅤ

“What?!. . . Damn, that’s the flag of Rivasura! Everyone, get ready for battle!”

ㅤ

Kiel shouted with a stern face as he pulled out a telescope from his pocket.

ㅤ

The ship was suddenly enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

ㅤ

“Hey, bring me a weapon! Don’t dawdle!”

ㅤ

“Damn! Where’s my armor?!”

ㅤ

“Set the sails! All of them!”

ㅤ

The crew members began to hurriedly arm themselves, pulling weapons and armor out of the ship’s hold.

ㅤ

“Are they. . . enemies?”

ㅤ

“They’re the Rivasura clan, a tribe living in the same village as us, but we don’t get along.”

ㅤ

Kiel answered Luke’s question with a stern face and turned back to the helmsman at the bow.

ㅤ

“How’s it going?! Are we losing?!”

ㅤ

“No good! We’re against the tide and the wind direction is bad too! No matter where we run, they’ll catch up!!”

ㅤ

“Damn. . .”

ㅤ

Kiel gritted his teeth.

ㅤ

At that moment, a flash of light ran from the distant black shadow, and a few seconds later, a water column rose up near the ship where Luke and the others were.

ㅤ

The ship rocked heavily as it was hit by a sideways wave.

ㅤ

“You’ve got to be kidding. . . They’ve even got a mage on board?!”

ㅤ

“What do we do, Kiel? We don’t have any magic defenses here.”

ㅤ

The crew was shaken by the sight of the magic attack from the Rivasura clan’s ship.

ㅤ

“Damn. . .”

ㅤ

Kiel groaned in frustration, but there was nothing he could do about the attack from afar, and she could only watch in silence.

ㅤ

The attack magic released from the Rivasura clan’s ship intermittently attacked Luke and the others, and the point of impact was gradually approaching the ship.

ㅤ

Now, the Rivasura clan’s ship had come close enough for them to see each other’s faces.

ㅤ

They could see a bearded man grinning at them.

ㅤ

Next to him, a man who appeared to be a wizard was chanting a spell.

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Damn. . . If only we could use magic too. . .”

ㅤ

Kiel muttered regretfully.

ㅤ

“What. . . are they planning to do?”

ㅤ

Luke asked, gasping for breath from the increased rocking of the ship due to the magic attack.

ㅤ

“That bearded guy’s name is Dorkin, he’s the most hated guy on the island for acting like a pirate. He’s probably planning to kidnap us and demand a ransom from the chief.”

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Hey, Kiel! I know you’re there!”

ㅤ

A voice echoed from the ship across.

ㅤ

Bearded Dorkin was shouting with his hand on his mouth.

ㅤ

“You know you can’t beat us! If you surrender quietly, I guarantee your safety. Disarm quickly and come out!”

ㅤ

The crew was lined up on the deck across.

ㅤ

They were conspicuously showing off the ladder for boarding.

ㅤ

ㅤ

Kiel gripped her sword.

ㅤ

“No joke. I’d rather fight and die than be humiliated by that guy.”

ㅤ

“So. . . we just need to stop that ship.”

ㅤ

Kiel hurriedly tried to stop Luke, who was staggering to his feet.

ㅤ

“Wait, it’s dangerous! You never know when magic will fly!”

ㅤ

ㅤ

Light was born between the hands of the magician on the deck across.

ㅤ

“This is bad! That’s a flame bullet!”

ㅤ

The crew in the crow’s nest shouted.

ㅤ

“Flame bullet.”

ㅤ

Immediately after, the magic Luke released hit Dorkin’s ship directly.
