Ocean Battle

With a shift when the timer reached zero, we were in the air before hitting the water with a ship under our feet. Success! We have something to stand on for the wave and I can still use the backup plan to assist.

But first, I do the usual thing and spread my senses out to the world. I can only sense a few tears clustered around Melromarc and the surrounding kingdoms. Looks like there will only be one or two more waves before the worlds are fully separated and I can just spend time with my partners in this world before bringing them with me to the next.

Yes, I'm bringing them with me! I have spent so much time just having fun and getting to know them. It would break my heart to leave them in this world, never to see them again. Sophia and I are already a couple, and Fitoria is content with being our fluffy pet that enjoys snuggling between us at night. If anyone wants to leave those they have an emotional attachment with, they have something wrong with them.

Now I just need to figure out how to bring our old bodies with us when we reincarnate.

Focusing back on the task at hand, I can see the enemies are much more powerful than the previous wave. So glad we got three weeks of hunting and training in before this. I opened the gate to bring out one of the backups I had in case we couldn't bring the ships with us.

Out falls an advanced warship that smacks a breaching enemy right in the face. HA! This baby has everything needed for a naval battle including under water sonar and torpedoes. Of course, we can't forget the mounted LASER GUNS! I went all out on this thing and am not giving the enemies a chance to retaliate. Best thing is the whole build is automated.

The waves that were once feared by the people of this world are being massacred by a group of eight. Shield boy's party, the adventurer couple, and my partners are smacking the shit out of them whenever they pop out of the water. If they stay in the water, they get a nice big torpedo right up the ass from the giant warship I'm currently having tea on, green tea not the bitter shit that is unsweetened tea.

After the boss jumps into the air making himself a nice big target for Sophia to riddle with holes from penetrating arrows, the adventurer couple jump onto the warship while dragging shield boy by the scruff of his neck. They toss him to me when he promptly does a sick ass flip in midair to stabilize himself and show he wasn't sitting on his thumbs for three weeks. A girl with black hair, holding a fan with a gem at the tip, jumps on right before magical girl casts a barrier spell closing us off from the other heroes and my companions.

I'm curious about why they did this because I can't feel any hostility from them. I signal my companions to stand down and they notify the queen that I have the situation under control. This doesn't stop the idiot trio from yelling at the fan girl and trying to break the barrier, but I have long stop expecting them to contribute any brain power to the situation.

Shield hero is cautious at first because of fan girl but notices I don't have my guard up and tensions start to ease. He trusts my judgement on the situation from hunting together for three weeks.

"Before anything is said I wish to apologize to you for our previous encounter, shield hero.", fan girl says with a bow to shield boy who lets his shoulders relax after seeing she isn't hostile.

The three talk about how they are from the other side of the tears and their world was in danger from them like ours was. They talk about how the will of their world said it was a battle between worlds that could decide which survived. And how the will of the world informed them a bit late that the cause had been solved and the worlds were no longer in danger.

I just facepalm at how the will of their world went about things. Our will of the world didn't inform the people about shit and they never decided to invade the others, so I think that was the right decision.

After some apologies to shield hero and thanks to me for preventing the destruction of both worlds, which shield boy was shocked about, they left in the tear back to their world. I'm going to miss the adventurer couple, but they probably have a family waiting for them and I don't want to keep them away from them.

All in all, this wave was pretty good, and I now have massive sea creature corpses in my gate ready for making aquatic gear.
