"In the future, I'm never going to sit on the same ship as Su Nanna again."
That was Rorschach's final thought right before he lost consciousness.
Considering how annoying his strange talent was, this was probably what he thought from the bottom of his heart as well.
Of course, he couldn't stay in the ship's hangar while casting his spell. The magic armor was attached to the lower deck of the ship. Although the spell failed, part of the spell's effects still appeared.
The magic armor that was attached to the ship was instantly tossed into the sea by the gigantic waves that covered the sky.
Before the AI automatically shut down the spellcasting platform and put the pilot back into protective mode, the last thing Rorschach saw was the ship being torn apart by the gigantic waves.
This was only the aftershock of the spell. It was the aftershock of the spellcaster's position, which was supposed to be in a non-damaging mode. As for the rest of the ship, the waves had already reached the clouds, so nothing could be seen.
"… They should be fine. After all, they weren't hit directly by a forbidden spell."
Before his vision completely darkened, he cursed one last time, "Su Nanna will only eat instant noodles for the rest of her life without any seasoning packs. No, I'm going to deduct her salary so that she won't be able to afford any seasoning packs. I'm also going to make Isabella freeload off her every day."
Next, Rorschach could only pray that this "Image of the Red Lotus" defense system hadn't been sloppy, that it wouldn't completely disintegrate in the undercurrent of the waves, and that it wouldn't bring his soul back to the sea.
"… Wait a moment, you can't die. At least, you can't die in my country, at my hands!"
In the end, that somewhat familiar voice was still unable to awaken Rorschach's consciousness. He could only struggle with his eyes, but the last thing he saw was a petite black figure with a dazzling blue gem on its neck.
"… Nests, God Equipment, I've been tricked again."
Rorschach was woken up by the waves crashing against the shore and the cries of seagulls.
"It's such a nice morning … What the hell, where am I? Who am I? Where am I going?"
Rorschach had just woken up in a daze when he was scared awake by himself. Looking around, he saw a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
The dark blue ocean rippled with the wind. This world of clear skies and white clouds was calming. Hermit crabs and seashells were scattered all over the beach. Seagulls were wrestling with small fish that were stranded on the beach. Not far away, a young girl was trying her best to climb up a coconut tree. She was as agile as a monkey, but she still accidentally slipped and fell. She landed on her butt rather painfully … What was that last part?
"… Seviala."
Rorschach came to a realization as he recalled the scene of him failing to cast the spell and the last scene before he lost consciousness.
While everyone else was being suppressed by the Forbidden Spell, Seviala was still able to move despite the fact that she was wielding a Celestial Artifact. She even made a prompt decision to cut him down …
"Eh? Right hand? "
When he thought of this, the pain in his right hand suddenly intensified. When he turned his head to look, Rorschach was shocked.
Everything below his right wrist was gone. There was only a red handkerchief tied tightly around his left wrist, helping him stop the bleeding.
"… I'm sorry. I didn't have any other methods …"
While Rorschach was looking at his hand, Seviala's voice sounded from behind him. It seemed that Seviala had noticed that he was awake.
Rorschach smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
He still knew what was good for him. Back then, the three-in-one magic system had already been activated. The best way to stop the spell would have been to destroy the system. Cutting himself out of the system would have been the best choice. But if Seviala had directly touched him, it would have been possible for her to instantly kill him due to the mana feedback.
It was already quite smart of her to have thought of cutting off his own arm and forcefully cutting himself out of the system. It would have been too much to ask for perfection, not to mention …
"It's fine. It's not that difficult to regrow a severed limb. I'm a decent nature priestess myself. Where's my right hand? I can reattach it right now. "
Rorschach's magnanimous words caused Seviala to fall silent.
"I don't know."
Seiji paused in surprise. This was a lie, but was there any meaning to this lie?
Rorschach didn't say anything. Since Seviala knew his name, there was no reason for her not to know about his natural talent ability.
Seviala, who had her head lowered, quickly and carefully lifted her head. She saw that Rorschach was still silently looking at her. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and tell him the truth.
"… While we were floating on the sea, we met a group of small winged wyverns. They attacked us, and in the end, they took away your severed limb as well. "
"That's the truth, but it's not the complete truth. What else are you hiding?"
Rorschach recalled the faint sense of disharmony he felt earlier, so he decided to be extremely vigilant against this seemingly harmless girl.
"… I had no other choice, so I took the initiative to throw out my right hand as bait. I don't have any combat job, and I still have to protect the two of you. Uncle, you won't be angry, right? "
This time, she was telling the truth. Rorschach was so angry that his neck almost went crooked. So not only did you cut off my hand, you even took the initiative to feed it to the wyverns?
But no matter how you looked at it, this was the most correct choice. Logically speaking, he even had to thank her for saving him and his companions when he lost consciousness.
"Right, there were two of you? Who else? "
Rorschach followed Seviala's gaze and saw his companion who had fallen into the sea with him. It was Ariel, who had also been in her magic armor at the time.
However, she still had her mature figure, but her skin color seemed to have returned to normal. It wasn't rosy to the point where steam was constantly coming out of her body.
"… That's strange. Did I make a mistake? I feel like her dragonization has become even more serious. She didn't have so many dragon scales and dragon wings before …"
Perhaps it was because her body was overflowing with magic, but the current Ariel was clearly different from the Ariel in his memories after her transformation.
But now obviously wasn't the time to care about others. Seeing that Ariel's body was moving up and down as if she was in a deep sleep, and that she was still breathing normally, Rorschach turned to look at Seviala.
Rorschach remained unmoved as he looked at the young girl who had her head lowered. She seemed to be filled with guilt and uneasiness.
Although they hadn't known each other for very long, Rorschach already discovered that he had been tricked by this girl twice. This girl definitely wasn't as obedient as she appeared to be. Her current appearance was more to gain sympathy.
After all, although logically speaking she did a good job, there were many people who were completely unreasonable. Weak little girls were very skilled at using all sorts of methods to protect themselves.
After being interrupted, Rorschach finally calmed down completely.
"Forget it, it's not that big of a deal. At most, I'll just revive another one later."
When technology and magical engineering developed to a certain extent, even ordinary physical disabilities could be treated. In terms of biological technology … the wood spirits' technology was number one in the world.
As long as one had the money, they could even give one a new body. In front of a body replacement technique that could completely remove one's bloodline, Germany's orthopedic department was nothing.
Rorschach also calmed down now that he was in a good mood.
It was just that right now was a bit inconvenient. High-level nature magic could also regenerate broken limbs. Still, it would be safer to go to the wood spirits' place. It would just be a matter of enduring for a while.
In that case, the next thing was the current environment.
Rorschach furrowed his eyebrows as he looked around. Judging from the scenery, this didn't seem like a beach on a continent. In fact, it wasn't even a large island.
"An uninhabited island?"
"Yep. I didn't dare to enter the forest, but the coastline isn't that long either …"
"That's a wise decision. If you really end up attracting some predators, we'll all die mysteriously."
Rorschach had a contemplative look as he looked at the pile of wild fruits he had collected.
"There's a limited amount of ingredients, so I'll have to make do. I'll first use some grilled fish and coconut juice to recover my strength. Later, I'll find some wild animals to test if the wild fruits are poisonous. "
Rorschach took the grilled fish and coconut with his left hand. He wasn't used to it, but after he took a bite, his furrowed eyebrows relaxed.
Originally, he thought that a princess of a country wouldn't have many opportunities to cook, so it was most likely a dark cuisine. However, not only was the grilled fish perfectly cooked, it was also seasoned with sliced mushrooms and coconut minced meat. Although it wasn't at the level of a gourmet dish, it was still edible.
Not far away, there was even a charred wooden stick that could be used to make a fire. Roxia reevaluated the princess before him when he recalled how she nimbly climbed up the tree. At the very least, it would be impossible to learn how to make a fire and cook for herself in the palace. This princess was truly unconventional. At the very least, it would be impossible for her to learn how to make a fire in the palace.
Hunger was the best seasoning. The faint roars of beasts in the distant forest also reminded Rorschach to cherish the time in front of him. He finished his food in a few bites and stood up shakily.
He walked a few steps, and his condition wasn't bad. It was just that how much combat strength he had left was a problem.
After using that forbidden spell, he had long since run out of mana. It seemed that he had also been injured by the backlash of his mana, and it was difficult for him to even use his mana to cast spells.
In terms of melee combat, he usually used his left hand … Rorschach tried wielding a sword with his left hand. Although he had trained in the past, he had always used his left hand as a support. It was really a question as to how much combat strength he had left.
Even if he could still use his full strength …
The only good news was that there was still a mage's magic armor that was stranded not far away.
