However, Kerry looked at Kazuma instead of the small magical items he had acquired.
He confirmed that Kazuma had at least not become fragrant.
Perhaps Kazuma or the others possess the physical ability to cast spells. Of course, it's also possible that due to repeated absorption and direct confrontation with indescribable things, their minds are no longer like those of normal people.
However, it's also possible that he's just exceptionally gifted, like some of the geniuses in the Cthulhu universe. After all, in works like House of Wax Museum, there have been investigators and little bread who could casually spout the names of ancient gods even after reading the Necronomicon and the Book of the Ancients.
Of course, aside from investigators who have reverence for this knowledge, those who become obsessed with it rarely end up well.
However, Kazuma was truly lucky... Kerry looked at Kazuma and prepared to go back and try to show him some less complicated spells.
Of course, besides these, there was also a special satellite device, but Kerry and the others didn't know how to use it, so they planned to bring it back to the ship. Apart from the corpses scattered all over the island, it was actually quite beautiful. If it weren't for the other people on the ship, Kerry and the others might have considered taking a vacation there.
They found Baki on their way back to the ship.
He was actually blown into the sea and lost his way, running around in circles on the other side of the island.
"Well, now that it's resolved, I'll head back."
Baki yawned widely, then swam back to the cruise ship.
"Don't forget to take this with you. Oh, and we'll need to change our instrument bags when we get back."
Xiangzi took a spare mask from her tattered keyboard bag and handed it to Kerry, then picked up another one and put it on herself.
I wonder if she prepared several extra pieces when she ordered this style.
Kerry actually felt it was completely unnecessary, but he put it on anyway under Xiangzi's insistent gaze.
The group began their journey back to the ship.
Some were worried the statue would sink the kayak, so Kerry was the last to board.
Everyone was speechless as they watched Kerry, who was carrying a heavy-looking statue covered by a cloth, and using a rope to leap up section by section until he reached a height of several tens of meters on the cruise ship.
However, Kerry only realized after he got up that there were at least several hundred people crammed into the area where they had come up.
"They're back!"
Wow! Wuhu!
These businessmen and elites screamed like fervent fans who had just met their idol.
Seemingly used to this kind of scene, Kerry continued walking as if nothing had happened. Xiangzi also seemed to be behaving normally, but upon closer inspection, one could see that her movements and steps were much more ladylike, and she kept her eyes fixed ahead, trying her best to appear calm and composed.
Kazuma, who claims to be socially awkward all the time, is not lying in this situation at all. He hooks his arm around Kirito's neck and nods at the other side of the screen.
Even Kirito, who seems to be the most outgoing person, was walking stiffly down the corridor with his toes gripping the ground and his head down.
Whether it was the crowd on the first floor or the crowd in the aisles, they all cheered along with Kerry and his companions.
Whether they will become wary of Kerry and his companions' presence because of their behavior, or whether they will try to win them over or control them out of rationality, or whether Kerry was never one of them to begin with.
Their cheers at this moment were mostly heartfelt.
The ecstasy of escaping a great calamity, the awe of the brave, may bring them much unhappiness later, but at this moment they all choose to follow the more emotional side.
They cheered for the people who saved their boatload of lives.
"Okay!"
After all, if Kerry and his crew hadn't been invited aboard, no one knew how this trip would have ended.
After they handed the communication equipment to Erina, the staff guided them to the lounge.
Although everyone on the ship was more curious about the current situation and whether the island was safe, no one even took the initiative to ask, and they all chose to let them rest first.
The most spacious rooms were reserved for the group, and fresh fish dishes that had already been prepared were served to them.
These were all fished out of the sea by martial artists after Kerry made that suggestion; sending them to the sea was even more efficient than fishing.
"Take it away and share it with others; I've already eaten on the island."
Xiangzi greeted the waiter, seemingly reluctant to accept the slightly special treatment being given to them.
She remembered hearing from Kerry on deck that the ship was running low on supplies.
"This……"
The waiter seemed a little embarrassed.
Kirito noticed something but didn't touch the fork.
Only Kazuma and Kerry showed no reaction and casually started eating.

Chapter 231 Crooked-Mouthed Xiangzi.
A dozen minutes later, an exciting message rang out in the cabin.
"Everyone! Good news! Several heroes brought back communication equipment from the island. Our current leader, Commander-in-Chief Nakiri of the Totsuki Group, has made contact with Japan! Moreover, even before Enryu Island received the message, they had already dispatched ships to search for us and tracked down our location before we lost contact! As well as the location of the Death Ship! It's not far from us now, we're saved!"
As the news arrived, many people's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and cries and hysterical screams rose and fell.
"Who on earth has been fighting on the shore for over ten hours straight, and we haven't even had a chance to react?"
Kazuma picked up a piece of fish fillet, dipped it in mayonnaise, and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he complained somewhat discontentedly about the cheers that could be heard even through the door.
"Well... I guess I can understand."
Kirito also had his food removed, and only some fruit that would spoil if not eaten soon was brought out. He was eating grapes at the moment.
"Speaking of which, I ate so much this time too. After the main course, it was dessert. I'm really not going anywhere else this time. I need to rest for at least a week after I get back to Tokyo! A whole week!"
Kazuma emphasized that he hadn't rested at all this time.
"Necessary rest is also a way to adjust life."
Xiangzi took a small sip of her tea, agreeing with Hezhen's assessment; it seemed she wanted to relax.
Just as the group was chatting, there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me, it's me, Erina Nakiri."
"come in."
Ultimately, Erina still needed to confirm the situation on the island.
Erina couldn't be as relaxed as before, and stood somewhat reservedly by the table with the others, closing the door behind her.
"They all want me to confirm the situation on the island and what exactly happened, but if it's not convenient for you to disclose that, I can explain it to them."
"The situation? Well, there were several thousand of those little dwarves and one big guy, and now they're all dead. Hayami Katsumasa is dead too, that's it."
Kerry gave her a brief explanation.
Erina's face twitched; this was a bit too brief.
"Um... this is a personal question of mine. I wanted to ask, are those dwarves who can produce blades on their bodies... the product of some kind of experiment, or...?"
Erina, are you still suffering from chuunibyou?
"Just think of it as a monster that looks like a human."
Kerry replied to her again.
"Oh, I see... By the way, there are some people outside who want to see you, but if it's inconvenient for you, I've turned them down for you."
"Have someone make a list, and we'll see how things go."
"Okay. I'll be going now."
The other party's consistent attitude actually reassured Erina a little. She gave a businesslike reply and turned to walk to the door.
Take a deep breath.
"Thank you so much for this time. I apologize for the trouble my invitation has caused you."
After speaking, she quickly opened and closed the door and left.
So all that was to say thank you? It's kind of awkward though.
Soon after she left, someone made a list; some wanted to see them all, while others simply wanted to see a particular person.
Without a doubt, at the very top of the list is the little old man Tokugawa Mitsunari, who was rescued and did not die.
However, everyone simply ignored him.
"Hehehe! What does Miss Ito Chusho want to see me alone for?"
Kazuma let out an evil laugh, but he didn't agree.
On the contrary, Xiangzi and Tongren both checked the boxes on the list.
As for the other merchants, they did not intend to meet these people unless they had some supernatural need for it.
Ultimately, these people simply believe they have something to offer and hope to communicate with Kerry and his group, or they simply maintain the basic business acumen of knowing one or two people from various circles and hoping to make connections.
Kerry and his companions didn't want to waste their time with them.
If they come to us with problems, we'll go no matter who they are. If they're poor, we'll help them; if they're rich, we'll make an exorbitant demand.
Moreover, regardless of whether they invited these people or not, they will only act according to their own standards.
[Kirigaya Kazuto: This list includes my family and friends, but to avoid being too conspicuous, I hope to see as many people as possible. They probably recognized me.]
She had originally planned to meet these people alone in his room, but she really didn't want to waste time talking to those people he had only invited to cover up his true intentions, so she asked Kerry and the others to help her talk to them.
Xiangzi, who had been pursing her lips and had a round face, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the message from Kirito.
Actually, she had just been struggling with this issue. She knew she couldn't run away, so she decided to see her grandfather and reconcile.
However, she didn't want them to be so conspicuous, but given her personality, she couldn't bring herself to ask for help, so she was constantly torn.
However, now that Kirito has spoken, she can take the opportunity to speak as well.
[Toyokawa Shoko: Me too]
Kazuma and Kerry exchanged a glance.
[Sato Kazuma: No problem, Kirito, you have to take me to clear the early levels of AOL when you get back]
[Kerry: Buy me a sundae when we get back]
[Kiritani Kazuto: Enough is enough]
