Distress

Chris-sama seemed to be royalty, and was familiar with the passages of the castle.

"From the chapel in the courtyard, there is a secret underground passage that leads out of the castle. Use it."

　We go through the shadows while hiding ourselves in the dark.

Thankfully it was a cloudy, moonless night.

We encountered several patrols of soldiers along the way, but we were able to hide and get past them.

　After walking for about 5 minutes, I came to a courtyard with a large lawn.

A small shrine-like building stands in the center of the garden.

That would be the chapel.

A bonfire was lit in front of the chapel, and four soldiers were guarding it.

"Shiro, wait here.

　Chris started running without even checking my reply.

Maybe he's using something called body strengthening magic.

His speed far surpassed that of the athletes I had seen at the World Championships.

　A battle seems inevitable no matter what.

If I am found, will I be killed for jailbreak as well?　

I'm still wondering if I made the right choice.

Wouldn't it be better if only Chris-sama escaped from prison and I stayed in prison?　

No, not at all.

Memories of being attacked by soldiers are revived.

If I had been treated well by those female soldiers at that time, I would have been scarred for the rest of my life.

If I stay in prison, I might face worse things.

In that case, I think the correct answer is to run away with Chris-sama here.

　A red flash ran across the darkness, and I could confirm from the light of the bonfire that the four soldiers had fallen one after another.

I can also see Chris opening the chapel door.

I made up my mind and started running.

The worst thing you can do is hesitate and stay here.

　Four headless corpses of soldiers were strewn about in the choking smell of blood.

Suppressing my nausea, I entered the chapel, looking only at the front so as not to see the corpse, and closed the door.

"Shiro, hurry up."

　Chris-sama beckoned me with a lantern and a sword taken from the soldiers.

After sliding the heavy-looking stone altar, a staircase leading to the basement appeared.

"I'm glad we weren't able to find this place. Let's get out of the castle quickly."

　A little down the stairs was a landing.

When Chris-sama moved a device that I didn't understand, the altar that was moved earlier moved to its original location and the entrance was blocked.

"This passage leads to the pedestal of the bronze statue in Momsen Park. From there, Filappe's fishing port is close."

　It's refreshing for me to be told about geography, but I nod honestly.

"The highway will be blocked, so let's procure a small boat at the fishing port. Then head east."

　Is it the sea again?

I somehow had a bad feeling about it, but I have no choice because I'm aimless in another world.

I hated being swept away by the situation, but now I couldn't do anything about it.

　　　♢

　The sun is dazzling.

As far as the eye can see, there are seas, seas, seas in all directions.

We are currently in distress.

　It was good until I escaped from the castle using the underground passage and arrived at Firappe's fishing port.

I was spotted by the empire's soldiers several times along the way, but Chris-sama, who had the strength of a demon god, wiped them out each time.

And robbed a boat with a small sail used by fishermen at the fishing port (sorry fishermen).

It was still 3 o'clock in the morning when we went out to sea.

But I couldn't do it after that.

Since he said he would steal the ship and head east, I thought that Chris-sama would be able to steer it, but it seems that wasn't the case.

That's right.

Only fishermen and sailors can handle such things,

It's not something an amateur can do.

Even I have only had the experience of being on a ship once.

It's a ferry, not a boat.

I remember riding from Kurihama in Kanagawa Prefecture to Kanaya Port in Chiba Prefecture to go to the Boso Peninsula.

The horse mackerel sashimi I ate at Kanaya was delicious.

i want to eat it again

Is there horse mackerel swimming in the sea here?　

How laid back are you?　

Because there's nothing you can do about it.

In the blink of an eye, we were swept away by the tide and lost sight of land.

Partly because it was pitch black at night.

There were no lighthouses like there are on Earth, and the weather was so cloudy that it was impossible to determine the direction by the position of the stars.

Pawn♪

00:00:00 until the end of water production

water is complete. Please specify the spawn location.

　It looks like water is ready.

I specified the appearance place in the pot I made in advance.

This will prevent you from becoming dehydrated.

I used seawater, which is abundant around the ship, so I was able to make it in 5 minutes.

Moreover, this time you can make salt at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Consumed MP was only 2, but the amount of experience gained was also less.

My status now looks like this.

　Thanks to making the file and pot, the experience value for making tools is the highest.

Food preparation is water twice, so the experience value is only 6.

It was 4 when I made it normally, and 2 when I used seawater.

Now that I've finished making water, I think I'll try making bread next.

Bread takes 1 hour to make and consumes 6 MP, so you can make it with your remaining MP.

It seems that by using the salt and water you just got, you can shorten the creation time to 50 minutes.

Let's do it now.

　By the way, regarding MP recovery, I found out that this doesn't go up at all when you're creating something with magic.

Instead, if you don't even use creation magic, you recover 1 MP every minute.

Now I feel like I'm full in 40 minutes.

It looks like my level will go up soon, and I'll be creating more and more things that will be useful in my life.

As the level rises, the amount of MP will increase, and the range of things that can be created should also expand.

It would be nice to be able to create golems and medicines that can't be used now.

For the time being, I'll do my best to raise my creation magic level to 2.

"Chris-sama, the water is ready."

"Yes, thank you"

　I drank the water that I made for the first time, but it was very sweet and delicious.

"Thanks to Shiro, I think I'll be able to live longer. You're my guardian angel."

　I'm happy to hear you say that, but I wonder if Angel-sama has a beard like this?　

It's been three days since I came to this world, but I haven't shaved my beard even once, and I haven't even washed my face.

Mirrors, soaps, and razors.

For now, I just want to wash my face.

"Chris"

"what?"

"I want to wash my face, so could you pour some water from the pressure point onto your palm?"

"Okay. The man should be clean."

　I think it's better to keep women clean, not just men.

It's common knowledge in this world that men are cute and beautiful, but for me, it's nothing but a sense of incongruity.

"Please wash your face too, Chris-sama."

"Yeah? That's right. I don't want Shiro to hate me for being filthy."

　When two people were using it, 1 liter of water was gone in an instant.

When you finish making bread, you have to make water again.

I realized that human beings live by consuming things one after another.

"Shiro!"

　Chris-sama stood up on the ship and pointed far ahead.

"Look. I can see the island!"

　Even if I strain my eyes, I can't see anything, but Chris seems to be able to see it.

The princess grabbed the oar and started rowing with all her might.

The ship picks up speed.

Before long, the island was so close that I could see it with my own eyes.

Blue sea, blue sky and long white sandy beach.

It was a place that looked like a tropical paradise.
