Chapter 99: Lolicons Everywhere
After the others took the provisions they got from their camp; they went to the beach where the Golden Hind was. The ship was outside the Bounded Field, so they couldn't use it until Asterios undid it.
"Asterios, your turn. You can remove the Bounded Field." The Minotaur nodded at Euryale's order. With a shout that nearly burst their eardrums, and a little shake of the island, the barrier surrounding it disappeared.
"Goddamit. At least warn us if you're going to do something like that next time!" That shout had been worse than a hangover after partying hard for a full day.
The white-haired guy just avoided her gaze with a little red on his cheeks, probably out of embarrassment for his actions just now.
"Anyway, I'll call the scallywags over here. My ship seems to have moved a bit far from the shore." After saying that, she took her gun out and began firing at the sky a couple of times. If Asterios' roar didn't get their attention, that will.
Sure enough, a few minutes after she shot her gun, the ship began to move in their direction. It wasn't long before the Golden Hind anchored right in front of them.
"Good ta see ya doin' well, Cap'n." Bombe greeted Drake as soon as he saw her. For a moment, they thought she would be trapped on this island forever or something. No matter what they tried, they couldn't get on it for some reason.
"There's no way I'm going to die just yet. You better have appropriately rested because we are going to have another adventure." Just as her crew was in hearing range, she started giving orders. Many exciting things awaited them, so there was no time to waste.
"Aye aye." They already knew how her mind worked, so they didn't put much thought into it and started working. Soon, everyone boarded the Golden Hind. Once again, Asterios brought some surprise to the crew due to his form and size. It seemed like a curse that would never go away.
Euryale had to rise in his defense and also make sure the pirates didn't get any funny ideas with her. It was not like they could do anything to her as she could just shoot an arrow through their heads, but it was better to make things clear beforehand.
She didn't want to experience something like what happened some days ago with a certain lolicon. Were they to do something, though, Asterious would just kill them outright, no questions asked.
After the initial surprise, the pirates ignored the Minotaur and got to work. Drake was quick in getting a hold of the helm and ordering her crew to start their sailing.
The Chaldeans finally left the island following some quick preparations. They made sure to be alert in case their enemies appeared.
Once they were at open sea, there was no signal of the opposing Servants, surprisingly. They DID find other pirate groups that attacked them trying to take their possessions, though.
Naturally, they were all beaten without trouble. At this point, regular pirates daring to face them were just going to their deaths. They couldn't even get close as EMIYA would just blast their ship with one of his most destructive arrows. In the lasts Singularities, they hadn't had an Archer in their ranks, but now that they had one, it was overkill.
For now, it was all smooth sailing. The pirates also got over Asterios' form and even took a liking to him as he helped them with some chores that needed immense strength. He could easily accomplish what required three or more people to do.
Euryale and Stheno were enjoying each other's company and humming a little tune. They were trying to do it in secret, though, as it was something embarrassing for them. To their misfortune, there were people on the ship with excellent hearing capabilities.
Seth, in particular, enjoyed it very much. It helped him relax and stop thinking about the future for a moment. Even though he didn't show it on the outside, it was very stressful and taxing on his body.
The two sisters stopped when they noticed everyone was listening to them, although only for a moment. After getting some encouragement, they continued. Honestly, the little Goddesses were better singing than being a source of mischief.
It was after they finished their tune that Mash decided to ask the middle sister something that had been in her mind for a while. "Um...Miss Euryale. Why are these people after you?" By the looks of it, their first meeting was a thing of the past. That said, she indeed had expected for the Servants who were on the same side to be a little more respectful.
"The reason is not at all complicated. It's just because I am cute. Nothing else." Her explanation certainly wasn't helpful. It was more an act of narcissism than anything.
"Sorry?" Shielder's confusion was not unfounded. Hardly anyone could describe that as an answer. A proper one, at least.
"I am cute, so they are after my cuteness. What's so difficult to understand? Men always long for people like us. Although this one just happens to be the worst, most disgusting, creepy, hideous cockroach of the bunch." Euryale's face was a mix of disgust and fear. In all her existence, she hadn't met someone like that person.
That...was something. The group didn't know what she went through, but it didn't look to be pleasant. Euryale immediately looked at her sister with sympathy. If she suffered from that bug's creepiness, then Stheno will also be the same.
"Somehow, a person fitting that description comes to mind, but I don't think he would appear here." Archer suddenly felt like a memory of when he was alive was reappearing.
"If he is not dead, I assume he is a Servant, right?" Seth was sitting on the gunwale, enjoying the breeze. That wasn't to say he wasn't paying attention, though. The only male Euryale mentioned previously was Hector, and as much as he thought the guy was weird, he didn't strike him as the type of person to lust after her.
Setting that aside, if the one who caused Euryale to feel that way were just a human, then he would be dead and not chasing her right now, so it was safe to assume that person was a Servant.
"Yeah... He is a Pirate Servant, but I don't know his True Name. However, that doesn't matter when it comes to that thing. Even the most horrifying of monsters would look cute in comparison." She wasn't lying or even exaggerating, for the matter. Her words couldn't get more accurate than they were.
'She is certainly not mincing her words when it comes to that guy.' At this point, he was expecting a deformed man with an additional pair of limbs or something going by her description.
"As long as his danger level doesn't correlate with his "disgustingness" then we will be fine." Zhuge Liang couldn't go by description alone. He had to see what the real foe was capable of so that he could make a suitable plan.
Just as Caster finished speaking, EMIYA and Seth noticed a ship on the corner of their vision. This one was bigger and more menacing than the ones before, though.
The lookout on the crow's nest also detected it with his monocular, albeit a little later. Immediately after the man did so, he made sure to warn his Captain. "Boss! There's a ship coming this way! And it doesn't seem to be a normal one!"
"Hah?! We will just blow it to pieces like we have been doing!" She didn't give it much thought until Archer and Seth materialized their weapons with no relaxation seen on their faces.
That could only mean one thing: The real enemies have arrived. After seeing the reaction of the two, the rest also prepared for combat.
EMIYA projected a sword with a similar handle to Excalibur but with a drill-like body. He then proceeded to position it like he would an arrow. "I am the bone of my sword." As he pulled the string back, the sword began to grow thin until it resembled the shape of a white needle with some protrusions.
Smoke emerged from Archer's feet and surrounded him in a spiral-like way. Red lightning and the occasional blue moved erratically beside him. "Caladbolg!" With a final shout, he let go of the string.
The arrow flew like a missile in the enemy ship's direction. Some sort of blue and white energy accompanied it, spiraling and giving a more destructive feel to it.
EMIYA didn't want to take any chances against whoever was on that ship. Seth was the same as him, so without wasting time, he summoned thunderclouds as quickly as possible above the enemy and struck them with an all-powerful thunderbolt.
However, how could it be that easy? Before Archer's arrow impacted, the ship shot cannons at it, together with a projectile similar to the one he sent. In Seth's case, as if someone already knew what was coming, they threw a weapon to the sky that repelled the hit.
The outcome was two explosions that covered their vision of the ship through a cloud of black smoke, but the two knew better than to think their attacks were successful.
"Tch." Both men clicked their tongues in unison. There it goes the surprise factor. Now there was no point in doing it again as the final result would most likely be the same.
Not long after, the ship exited the black cloud without problems. Aside from some slight tears to the sails due to the cutting wind created from explosion.
With it coming closer, the lookout could see the Jolly Roger better. His expression didn't become calmer after recognizing it, though. "Boss...It's that Jolly Roger! The one from before!"
Drake's expression immediately morphed into an angry one. "Pass me that thing right now!" She gave an order that didn't allow disobedience, and the man complied. As soon as she got the monocular in her hands, she hastily used it to see the incoming ship with more clarity.
The moment she confirmed her suspicions, her grip intensified to the point that she almost broke the instrument. She eventually threw it down and took out her guns. 'Those guys...!'
Noticing her reaction, Fujimaru decided to ask. "Captain Drake, do you know those people?" It didn't take a genius to realize there was some story between her and them.
"Yeah...those bastards chased me down, trying to sink my ship before I met you guys. I won't rest until I sink them to where even sharks can't devour their flesh." Her hate was evident for everyone to see.
Mash picked up the monocular and also did the same as Drake and used it to get better visual confirmation of the target. Her surprise came the moment she realized that Jolly Roger was the same as the one she sent images of for Dr. Roman to analyze. Something that now made her remember they haven't contacted them ever since leaving that island.
She immediately turned on the communicator to contact Chaldea, successfully managing to do so. They instantly heard Romani's voice. "Finally, I got through! What happened while the transmission was off?!"
"More importantly! That image I sent you earlier. Do you know who the owner of that flag is? Communications cut just before you could tell us!" They were in a race against time. Although knowing now might not be of help at all, getting even a bit of information was better than nothing.
"Oh yeah! That flag belonged to Edward Teach, otherwise known as Blackbeard! I suggest avoiding combat at all costs!" Romani spoke fast all in one go, trying to convey the urgency behind what he was saying.
"Blackbeard?!" Even someone like Fujimaru, who was not that well versed in history, knew of that famous, or rather, infamous name. That went to show just how well-known that pirate was.
"I am sorry, Doctor...I feel like that won't be possible." After the initial surprise, the Japanese boy spoke to Romani with some helplessness in his voice.
"Huh? Why not?" As he hadn't had any visuals of the events that elapsed, he didn't know the situation they were in right now.
"Because..." Fujimaru started.
"...They are here." And the rest continued.
"Nuhuhuhuhu. I didn't expect such a lively welcome! Is this what they call harsh love?!" It was a voice belonging to a black-haired man of considerable height. He had an open black captain coat, revealing his bare chest, also black and red pants, and black boots with a sort of skeletal design. The man possessed a weird-looking belt with chains attached to it. Finally, he had a weird white hook on his right hand.
Leaving aside his clothing and accessories, that man had a face worthy of a degenerate beyond redemption.
"I am sure they wanted to erase your face from existence. I can't blame those people as I want the same." A beautiful, blond-haired woman with a rifle and a red captain coat stated as if it was nothing.
"Agreed." Her companion, a white-haired little girl with a scar on her face similar to Drake's murmured. She had a black jacket that ended midway down her thighs. She was holding a cutlass in her hand.
"I understand. I UNDERSTAND! It has to be that, right? The so-called tsundere. I don't mind if you drop the act and shower me with your love, you know?" The only answer he got was a rifle pointed straight at his head.
"Bastard...I'm going to send you to Davy Jones' locker!" Different from the blond-haired girl, Drake didn't just aim her gun at him but also fired. Sadly for her, he used his hook to deflect the bullets.
"What's up with you, old hag? I don't want your attention! I'm only interested in cute girls! What's the point of having those huge knockers if you look to be over 40? I bet you used some kind of black magic to keep them in place!" He didn't bother to be lenient and went straight ahead to where it hurt.
It seemed it worked in his favor as Drake was rendered speechless, even being incapable of moving.
"What do we do now? She won't respond to whatever we say!" It was not the time to become all frozen, especially when that creep was in front of them.
"Oh? Is that Euryale-chan I hear? Duhuhuhu! I knew it. Destiny brought us together again!" His words made the middle sister recoil in disgust. She grabbed Seth's arm and pulled him next to Asterios, forming some sort of "barrier" to defend against him. She didn't forget to bring her sister too.
'For some reason, I also want to hide.' The Egyptian God had met his fair share of abnormal people. But, this guy. This guy was something else.
"Nani?! What is this that I see?! Another Euryale-chan?! Is this the mythical dev's kindness where they give you a free unit after purchasing another?!" His voice was as excited as someone who had won the lottery, which made it creepier.
"Ugh...I can't stand this guy. Please protect us, Asterios, Papa!" Euryale's words managed to make Seth's eyebrows twitch and everyone else to look at him weirdly or with surprise.
"Stop calling me that. I am not your father." There wasn't any point in beginning a discussion about that topic right now. That said, he didn't want to let that sink in under any circumstances.
"Go away and let me see my two Euryales-chan! And wait, isn't the number of males too high there? I don't like it! What is this? An otome game? All the routes seem to be here! The teacher who exchanges good grades for a night of pleasure. The kohai and childhood friend who wants the female protagonist to notice him without success. The womanizer of the whole school that dates a different girl every week. The typical guy with no redeemable qualities but is the most earnest, and finally, the hardest route! The cold and lone senpai who never shows interest in you until you start to get into his life slowly! I didn't sign up for this! I expected an endless harem of beautiful girls, not a bunch of ikemen! I want my money back!" This man was beyond redemption. No one could save him now.
With just a "few" words, he managed to make every male Servant plus Fujimaru and Seth crave for his head with a never seen before desire. However, as if oblivious, he moved his gaze to Mash and Altera, which were as disgusted as Euryale and Stheno were.
"What do we have here? So kawaii! A tan, white-haired beauty showing a lot of skin and a girl with one-eye covered! These appearances, without a doubt, enter my "I approve" fetish zone! Bofufufufu!" Without realizing it, he was digging his own grave.
This lolicon was going to get it.
