There are many ways of traveling across the ocean, by sea, by air, or if you are crazy enough, swim.
Standing on the edge of a cliff, leaning on the coffin, I stare towards the ocean...
Mu is very far away from Japan since it belongs to the Oceania Continent. I can travel by pne, as it is the fastest way. But the customs are boring as fuck.
If I only had wings... I look to Enna, dressed in maid clothing, standing next to me.
"What?", she tilted her head.
I really want to rip her wings and make them my own... but Enna won't let me. I asked before, she is very attached to her wings.
"Nothing.", I turned to the sea once again.
When it comes to this, there is only one thing that is perfect for this situation...
"Enna, build me a cruise ship."
"What?!", she threw away the burrito in her hand, "I can't do something like that!"
"Pfft! Hehahaha!!", I burst out ughing, "I was just joking, if I wanted you to build a ship, I would've ordered you to build one a week ago."
Before Enna could come up with a retort, I continued.
"So I brought my own ship!!", I raised my hand to the sky, "Open, Gate of Akasha!! The Shield of The Round, Prydwen!!"
Appearing on my right hand is a silver shield, decorated with the head of the Medusa and rings of Runes.
Prydwen, the name I chose for this shield... something I got from Sincir before Ouroboros Omniscia.
=0=0=
Meanwhile, in Novah Laboratory.
"WHERE IS IT?! WHERE IS THE SHIELD?!"
"IT WAS HERE A SECOND AGO!!"
"LOCKDOWN THE FACILITY!! WE HAVE TO FIND IT BEFORE THE BRITISH COME!!"
"AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!"
Seria, who was there, sipping on her coffee, smiled at the scientists making an uproar, "This is very fun."
=0=0=
"That shield is our ship?", Enna asked.
"Yup, let me show you.", I threw the shield into the ocean.
Plop!
"Are you sure you didn't just throw it away?", Enna questioned.
"Just give it a sec.", I crossed my arms, smiling.
"I still can retrieve the shield if you want, it hasn't sunk too deep—"
The water rumbled, and stabbing out of the sea was the bow of a silver ship. Prydwen, Aegis, Lugh's Shield. Hehahaha!!
To reforge many divine equipments together... is impossible, but Sincir, my alternative future self, did just that.
There is no fucking way I'll pass on trying a new toy!
Prydwen rose from the sea, its translucent green sails fluttered... its the size of an Age of Exploration merchant ship.
Armed with hundreds of ancient anti-air turrets, cannons ready to destroy in the general direction I point at...
This is my ship, my silver vessel...
"Hop on, we are going to Japan by ship! Of course, I will be the captain!!", I took the handle of Ouroboros Omniscia, pressing the second button.
The handle detached, then a chain shot out from the top— it sought out the handle, attaching the two. I've been messing around with the controls.
"Enna, get on the ship first...", I smiled, gripping the handle tightly, while being careful to not press any button.
"Uh... okay.", taking my luggage with her, Enna flew onto the ship without questioning anything.
I pushed my foot under the coffin, kicking it up. Then I kicked it again on the side and started to spin it around.
Rotational force is a powerful force, and from it, many phenomena can occur. First is gyroscopic motion, where gravity can be ignored. It can be applied to decelerate incoming projectiles and redirect them... aside from blowing things up and shooting, I enjoy seeing my crazy actions succeed.
Around~ and around~ I can feel it's getting harder to control.
Calcuting the best possible action, I jumped— letting the coffin drag me into the air.
And I nded on the crow's nest— the coffin almost dragged me down!
Heha, I should've thought about this more. If I let go, I don't know what will happen to the ship. Ouroboros Omniscia will still be fine, but the deck will surely have a dent in it. This coffin, whatever it contains is very heavy, about 100 kg.
I haven't tested the durability of Prydwen yet, so it's best to leave it until I crash into an iceberg or something.
I yanked the coffin, dragging it up. Pressing the second button again, the chain detached from the handle, and the entire coffin was magnetically sucked up, attaching to its original position.
Slowly, with the coffin in hand, I climbed down the dder...
"Whew.", I put Ouroboros Omniscia down safely, not denting the metallic deck at all.
"How are you able to stand so stable?! The entire ship is rocking!", Enna was leaning against the side, trying to keep herself from falling over.
"Skill issues.", I smiled.
"Ugh! I'm going to fly, fucking this shit!!", and she flew off, returning to her original position...
It's quite lonely being here alone, especially when I have to do everything myself. Well, I headed towards the helm after I kicked both of my luggage into the captain's cabin.
There is, of course, the helm to steer the ship. But alongside that are control panels, advanced technology giving me more control over this vessel. Sincir must've modified it, so many buttons... so many things to try.
But first, I have to get out of Mu.
I cranked the lever to my right slowly. The ship began to move, then I pressed a few buttons on the left panel, moving the sails so it pick up the wind.
"Let us set to the Land of the Rising Sun!!", I pushed the lever to the max, and the entire ship sped off!!
Hehahaha!!
30 knots, 40 knots, 55 knots, 65 knots!! Higher!! Higher!!
I dropped down the briefcase, taking Quirinus out— I stomped on the briefcase, not letting it fly away.
"In the Name of Humanity!", I pointed the nce up toward the sky, wind began to gather around it, "Fly! Let the wind roar, take me to my destination!!"
I spun the nce around, gathering the wind and earning extra style points, I pointed it towards the sail.
The wind rolled, commanded by my will, pushing the sails and speeding up the ship!
70 knots, 90 knots, higher! I can still go faster!! Hehahaha!!!
When I made it out of the Mu sea border, I gradually slowed down, keeping it at 20 knots. Normally, it would take about 15 days to reach Japan by boat so I should be speeding up more.
There are still things I have to do, like avoiding detection. People would get suspicious if they found a silver ship traveling at 100 knots.
I look over the terminals, gzing my hands over every button and learning what they do. Hmm... ah, there it is, what I was looking for auto-drive.
I pressed another button, opening a holographic map of the entire world, a blue globe hovering in front of the helm. I spun it around with a swipe...
Let's see... I took out my phone, and searched for the resident of the Okita Family... its in Iwate Prefecture. I have to go to Fukushima first to meet up with the Miko.
"Set the destination to Fukushima...", where would be the most inconspicuous location to enter...
Ah, right, the Sealed Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Pnt. The gas dome there would cover my movement...
"Docking location will be Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Pnt."
The hologram spun around, and then a red dot - beacon - began to bip on the map.
Then I dialed the number given to me by Issac... after a few seconds, someone picked up the phone.
A cheery voice came from the other side, [Hello hello~ this is Yuugure Kra, Miko of Daizoji Temple and Professional Omnyoji. What is your request?]
"We exist in the dark.", I began the phrase.
[...for those in the light to go on.], she finished.
"I'm Charlotte Silvi, have Issac informed you about me?"
[Let's see... let's see... Ah! Big boss man wanted me to be your tour guide, right?]
"Kinda, a friend of mine will be sacrificed to be the vessel for her great-grandmother. Which will most likely wipe out Japan."
[Lemme get my pen and paper... wipe out Japan... okay! Who are we rescuing?]
"Okita Mitsuki, with her Gem most likely to be Entropy. It is incompatible with Okita Mitsu's Conceptual of Blood. If those two exist inside the same body, Entropy will go berserk.", even if Conceptuals are the safest kind.
[I see... I see... I'll contact Asanagi and the Demon Syer Union. While at that, I'll lure Mitsuki to Fukushima with a mission. Is that okay?]
Seem like people don't want me to act on my own. Since they don't know who I am or my capabilities, they won't risk any chance when their entire nation is in danger.
"Sure, it's your country. I have no say in whatever you do to keep it safe. Just don't reveal my identity."
[Sure~ sure~ of course, I'm very good at keeping secrets! Oh, and what time will you come?]
"It's early in the morning where I am, so probably this afternoon?"
[Cool cool, let me just write that down... I might be te, preparing for ceremonies and all of that.]
"That's okay, you do you. Anything else?"
[Nope! That is all~ I hope to see you in your full glory, Silver Princess. Bye bye~]
"Goodbye."
And I ended the call.
Now that I have set up the destination, I pressed the auto drive button.
"Full speed...."
[All system: online][Please get inside for safety]
As soon as I heard the announcement, I hopped down and ran into my cabin. The entire vessel shifted, and I could feel the parts moving... becoming more streamlined. The artillery and anti-air guns shifted position... all of them shifted to the back, becoming thrusters.
[Speed Mode: Initialized][Warning: Speed Mode can reach up to 500 knots][Beginning coutdown]
I took in a deep breath, jumping onto the bed.
[3]
Using tendrils created by Reverie, I pulled everything close to me.
[2]
I grabbed Ouroboros Omniscia, pressing the third button. The sides opened up, revealing eight silver spears, four on each side.
[1]
"Stasis.", I gave out the order.
The spears glow white, creating a bubble separating the space here.
[Prydwen: Full Throttle]
Survive showed me the change in motion instantly, going faster than before, faster than ever. At this speed, I will reach Japan soon.
=0=0=
Gas, radiation, uninhabitable.
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Pnt, a pce where there is only pain and death. Now sealed inside a Magic Seal, trapping all the radiation and gas inside for it to settle down and not leak outside.
But it never did.
Nearly ten years ter, the foggy world inside the Seal still exists, never became clear at all. How is that possible?
The Onmyoji Department theorized that an Evil Spirit was born from the disaster and now resides in the ruin of the power pnt. Not that people were able to confirm anything, due to the radiation.
They are wrong, it is something much worse.
Lurking in golden brown gas, something tall and thin. Carrying itself with four arms around the wreckage. Long flowing dirty orange hair, beautiful but like the color of a dart frog, it signified danger.
Wearing a gas mask, continuously spewing the golden brown gas... it came close to the Seal barrier...
Its hazel eyes, inside them four pupils each, dialing, contracting, and expanding at different rates.
"I sense something coming...", its voice was scratchy, rough, and creepy. Like chalk screeching against a board.
"I welcome you... as The Evening Star..."
