Dr. Roman (Danger!)
"Whew!"
The sky was vast and clear, and the salty, damp wind blew across their faces.
Before them stretched an endless, deep blue ocean, with only a few small islands scattered here and there. Nothing else.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Mo Shuying and the other three were teleported into the sky, the clouds within reach, and a magnificent ocean spread out below.
"Dr. Roman! What's going on?!"
As the four plummeted, Mash shrieked, their expression terrified.
Dr. Roman, on the other side, was also stunned for a moment before quickly checking the data, a frown on his face.
"That's not right? I clearly targeted a deserted island! What happened?"
Roman stated he had no idea why this was happening.
The four continued to fall. Mo Shuying and Child Gil looked calm, and Mo Shuying, in particular, could fly.
"Gil."
"Yes, yes, I know, I know. You just love ordering around a poor, pitiable child like me!"
Hearing Mo Shuying, Child Gil indignantly summoned Vimana, and an Ark of Radiance appeared, steadily catching the four.
*"Thud!"*
Mash landed on the ship, kneeling on one knee, a look of lingering fear on their face. They patted their chest and said,
"I thought we were going to be shark food!"
Mo Shuying looked at the ocean below, deep blue and incredibly mysterious. In this era, an era where even gods existed, he wondered how many strange creatures lived in the sea.
"Are you all okay?"
Dr. Roman's voice sounded. Mash's eyelid twitched, and then they said coldly,
"Of course we're fine, Dr. Roman, but you are in trouble! When I get back, just wait until I throw all your precious collectibles into the water!"
Mash knew that Dr. Roman was obsessed with a virtual idol called Magical Girl ☆ Magical Romani. He'd bought a ton of merchandise; it was his lifeblood.
"Ah? No, Mash! I don't remember raising you to be such a terrifying person!"
Dr. Roman quickly pleaded for mercy. Touching his other things was fine, but not this!
"Alright, alright, stop messing around. We have more important things to do. Mash, first find a leyline node and establish a connection."
The Little Director didn't go on the offensive today, walking over in their usual clothes.
Dr. Roman instinctively gave up his seat. After the Little Director sat down, they began searching for the nearest leyline reaction point for Mash.
"I've already sent you the general route, but honestly, with Gil there, what we're doing is just extra effort. If you have any questions, just ask Gil."
Everyone knew that Child Gil possessed the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence. The reason they still searched for leylines and planned routes was just to feel like they were participating; otherwise, everyone could just take a holiday.
"Okay."
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised their hand. After this transfer, a digital watch appeared on their wrist.
This was a high-tech watch made by Chaldea, its main function being to communicate with Chaldea and transmit information.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was receiving and checking the information. At that moment, Child Gil looked around, then showed a strange expression. After some thought, he spoke.
"There's something I need to tell everyone. It might be a bit discouraging, but I think it's better to say it now."
"What is it?"
Mo Shuying asked, puzzled.
"This…"
Child Gil pointed to his head, a smile on his face, and said,
"This sea area seems to be covered by some mysterious power, like a veil over everything. And this veil is blocking my Noble Phantasm's detection."
"…Meaning?"
"Meaning, it's temporarily impossible for me to directly locate the opponent."
Child Gil shrugged, indicating that he wasn't slacking off, but genuinely couldn't figure it out.
"I see…"
Mo Shuying nodded. This was somewhat unexpected.
On the other side, Roman's eyes darted around, and he spoke.
"Could it be that the positioning error was also due to this? If so, the route map given earlier might also be inaccurate. You need to be careful and try not to deviate too much during your exploration."
Hearing Dr. Roman's instructions, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said,
"Understood, we'll be careful. But the location marked on this route is an island. Since there's a landmark, it should be correct. Alright, Mr. Mo, let's go."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little excited. Sea voyages! They had dreamed of it many times, but this was their first time truly going out to sea.
Mo Shuying turned and gave Child Gil a look. Child Gil understood and reluctantly maneuvered Vimana, flying towards the nearest leyline node.
The weather can be unpredictable.
And the sea's weather is even more temperamental, like a girlfriend's mood — it changes in an instant, appearing out of nowhere!
One moment it was clear skies, the next it was a storm, the ocean pitch black, as if terrifying monsters lurked beneath, waiting to strike!
"Whoosh!"
A light shield appeared around Vimana. Child Gil had activated its protective mode. This shield wasn't for defense against attacks; it was only for blocking wind and rain.
Mo Shuying had never known before that Vimana had windshields.
"Rumble!"
Lightning flashed across the sky, connecting heaven and earth, the terrifying thunderstorm illuminating an area.
"Oh boy~ Is this the ocean! Is sailing at sea always this exciting! It's amazing!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka stood at the bow, completely unafraid. They looked at the route projected on their communicator and pointed forward.
"Almost there! We'll see an island soon, that should be our destination!"
Child Gil nodded at Fujimaru Ritsuka's words. With a thought, Vimana blasted out incredible energy! Instantly, it transformed into a golden streak, charging into the thunderstorm area! Pushing through the storm, it carved out a path, suddenly bursting out of the thick black region, and beautiful sunshine bloomed before them once more.
"We're out!"
Mash exclaimed with delight.
It was hard to believe that a single ocean could display two such different weather phenomena.
Hundreds of meters behind them was the towering black storm, yet before them, it was calm, gentle, and sunny.
A gentle breeze blew, and a small island was already visible ahead.
Fujimaru Ritsuka stood at the bow, gazing at the island, and shouted.
"That's it! The Leyline point!"
"Alright, full speed ahead!"
"Whoosh!"
Vimana skimmed over the sea, moving very fast. The energy vibrations from behind it sprayed out dazzling waves. Not far away, a giant beast suddenly leaped out of the water, then crashed down heavily. Mo Shuying glanced at it; it seemed to be a massive white whale.
That white whale exuded a dense aura of Mana; it was an incredibly powerful magical beast.
Mo Shuying thought that this Singularity had many truly living dragons, not the kind that Jeanne d'Arc Alter summoned, which would disappear upon death, but actual living beings that, even if killed, would leave behind corpses.
Thinking of this, Mo Shuying rubbed his chin and said with some anticipation.
"Living dragons should yield a lot of materials when killed, unlike those summoned wyverns that only drop one material after a long fight. Once the Leyline point is connected… if there's nothing else to do, we could go on a wyvern hunt, get some materials, make some things. Dragon Tooth Warriors aren't bad either, actually."
