Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

During this time, a crisis that would have required him to be fully aware of his situation and not necessarily confront it was swept away so easily.

What I really needed to consider before was not whether I could survive.

The question is, "Can we get there before they finish resolving everything?"

Now, even the idea that I can fight alongside them has become an arrogant notion born of ignorance.

"Seeing you all really makes me feel like all those hundred-plus questions were a waste of time..."

[Event] Fool's Tale: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Where's My Little Bird!?

A raging fire broke out beneath the lighthouse, and Hai Si's body was reduced to ashes in the flames.

For the judges, learning how to dispose of the body of the tarantula is also an essential course, since the dead tarantula will still provide nutritional value to other tarantulas, and what they need to do is ensure that it cannot be used by them at all.

"More than two thousand..."

Dario stood before the ominous campfire, lost in thought.

He had seen humanized Terrorfish—or rather, individuals known as Advanced Sea Heirs—but each battle against them was a hard-fought one. This wasn't referring to the one-against-many battles common with Terrorfish, but rather that the individual Sea Heirs were all powerful enough to put pressure on even Inquisitor-level warriors in a one-on-one fight.

The number of these in front of us is enough to be considered an army.

I thought Granfalo was in crisis, but now it seems that what happened in the town is nothing compared to what's happening here.

Now, the crisis facing the Eye of Iberia is insignificant compared to the power of Tomat and his group.

Jody, escorted by Elene, headed to the lighthouse to turn on the lights, with Goredia and the other deep-sea hunters following along.

At this point, only Tomat, Saint Carmen, and Dario were under the lighthouse.

"Your knowledge and presence put pressure on the Terrorfish, causing them to evolve towards a more defensive posture, but it also genuinely spurred them to strengthen themselves..."

Carmen looked at the disintegrating corpses in the fire and spoke with complex emotions.

I feel regretful, relieved, and also a little worried.

"Is it just getting stronger incidentally rather than actively getting stronger? They think the former has a better chance of survival than the latter, which is to disguise themselves and avoid predators, rather than getting stronger and fighting back against predators." This kind of "getting stronger" on a small scale may be a tiny difference that is hard to detect for Thomas, but he can still recognize the essence of it.

Thomas clenched his fist, chuckled, and said, "So clever, so clever that I'd like to actually exterminate them as a compliment."

Tomat is in a bad mood right now, which is obvious to outsiders, and the reason is quite simple, but it is a bit hard for normal people to understand.

After all, what normal person would get angry because they can't eat croaker?

"So what's next..." Dario, the "culprit" who had called Tomat here, tentatively asked Tomat about his next plans.

Thomas replied without hesitation, "I guess I'm just unlucky to have my mind read by the Terrorfish. Come to think of it, they've become more difficult to deal with because of me. Although they haven't done anything to you yet, that might change after I leave. Since the problem lies with me, I'll help you take care of them while I'm at it."

“Drive them out of this sea, leave no one alive.”

Tomat casually expressed the long-cherished wish of Iberia.

Although his meaning seems to be limited to this small area of ​​sea, for Iberia today, this is something that even sending an entire army of the Inquisition would not be able to do.

"But don't get me wrong, I only did it because they made me feel bad. Although beating you up might have been just as satisfying, look, your apprentice is here, and your master is here too. It's not giving you any face."

As he spoke, Tomat looked at Dario with a malicious smile.

Dario paused for a moment, then awkwardly and clumsily forced a small smile in response.

"Eliminating all the terror fish in the entire sea area" has about the same effect as "beating yourself up".

Even if it's a joke, it's enough to flatter oneself.

This left Carmen and Dario completely confused: was Tomat saying this as a joke to give them a way out of this situation, or did he really mean it?

Moreover, even if that's really what he thinks, he's capable of doing it—whether it's wiping out the Terrorfish or beating up Dario.

"Om-"

"boom----!!!"

At that moment, a huge roar came from the lighthouse, the sound of the motor turning gears. The judges immediately realized that the moment had arrived.

The sea, shrouded in darkness for decades, is about to once again welcome familiar light.

The dazzling lights came on, and a powerful beam of light emanated from the top of the lighthouse. In that instant, it seemed as if the gloomy atmosphere in the surrounding air was dispelled. Or perhaps it was an illusion, but for a moment the black tide seemed to calm down, and the murky underwater creatures seemed to be swimming away from the light.

The Eye of Iberia has been lit up.

"What the hell? The Fool is so close... Back when the team landed at the Eye of Iberia, even if they had deviated from their course by just a degree or two, they probably would have crashed into it..."

Just then, a complaining voice came from the lighthouse. Ennily ran quickly to Dalio's side, seemingly to report something, while Johnny, after coming out, looked up excitedly at the lighthouse he had opened with his own hands.

As for the deep-sea hunters, they walked out unhurriedly, all looking in a certain direction of the sea.

“Something’s not right. This is the nest of the Terrorfish. It’s impossible for a ship to hold out for long if it’s anchored this close. The lighthouse records show that the ship has been sending out signals normally for the past few decades. In other words, the ship managed to hold out for so long while surrounded by Terrorfish?”

Although the Deepsea Hunters of Rhodes Island are no longer as powerful as they once were, they have not lost their common sense and know what the situation they described would normally lead to.

This made them, who had originally planned to explore an empty ship, start to think.

Regardless, going to investigate is now a done deal.

"If the Fool is really that close, it would be a real shame not to go and find out."

The group of judges, who had originally come to the lighthouse, decided to go to the Fool's Ship together after Carmen's suggestion, because the ship was also, strictly speaking, the property of Iberia, and if they could bring it back, its importance would be no less than lighting up the Eye of Iberia.

When everyone returned in the small boat, they all felt that something was missing.

"...Where's the little bird?"

The ghost shark looked up and around the boat.

"I'm here, why are you calling me?"

Alene responded somewhat impatiently.

"No, I meant the other one, the one that was hanging on the mast before." It was then that people realized Amaya, which had been hanging there, was nowhere to be seen. "By the way, you've accepted that name now?"

"Who accepted this?!"

[Event] Fool's Past: Chapter Thirty: Fool's Number

Some people felt regret, some felt ashamed, some were worried—and some didn't care at all.

Whether Amaya escaped on her own or was helped to flee by a daemon, tracking her down will not be an easy task.

After all, the surrounding atmosphere was quite complex, with the presence of many common marine creatures mixed in besides the terror fish. Moreover, no one had deliberately remembered the characteristics of Amaya's aura, so no one knew exactly where she was.

However, even though some people are concerned about Amaya's whereabouts, they can only put it aside for the time being and focus their attention on their next goal—to reach the Fool.

They continued sailing toward the location shown on the radar. Perhaps due to the lighthouse being activated, or perhaps they were still avoiding the few troublesome creatures on the ship, there was no sign of any dire fish attacks along the way.

On the slightly hazy sea, the people on the ship could also see a huge ship in the distance.

Its massive hull made the Tribunal's ships appear tiny in comparison. The glittering decorations covering the hull, along with the sails and cannons that completely disregarded practicality and combat necessity, all demonstrated how powerful the Iberians were when they built the Fool. Only then could they have the resources to build such a huge ship that didn't need to be too concerned with its practical combat significance.

Its sole purpose is to be surrounded by more armed ships on the battlefield, allowing the nobles and commanders to enjoy fine food and chat in an absolutely safe place while watching the battlefield engulfed in gunfire, and finally wait for the victory to be won, boasting to each other about whether they can continue to be promoted after the battle.

"Is this the Iberian people's taste in ships? It's definitely the style of guys who pick up scraps from others and get rich overnight."

The abundance of precious metal decorations, the useless sailboat structure and oars, along with the mascot-like naval cannon, all drew scorn from Grétia, Agor's technical officer. It was as if a Colombian supercar designer had seen an over-the-top motorcycle modified by a biker gang from the East; the vanity of the eager-to-show-off was impossible to ignore.

Fortunately, neither the judge nor Jody heard such comments, otherwise it would have been another argument. After all, they certainly didn't want the Fool, a technological marvel and a symbol of glory, to be judged in this way by the Agorians.

“Something’s definitely not right. From the outside, this ship looks exactly the same as when it went missing. Even if the lighting system on board scared away the terror fish and prevented them from getting close, the wind and rain at sea would leave marks on the deck or the outer hull.” Carmen stood at the bow of the Inquisition ship, observing carefully. “Unless someone has been cleaning and maintaining the Fool’s for decades…”

“You mean, there are still people alive on this ship?” Dario asked.

"...Teacher, that's impossible, isn't it? Even if this place is like a floating palace, after so many years, even the most abundant supplies would run out. We can't survive on terror fish for that long." The eerie atmosphere emanating from the ship made Elinni more inclined to believe that there were only terror fish on board, not humans.

While they were talking, Thomas and the others had already reached the bow of the ship. After looking up for a while, they leaped onto the edge of the Fool's deck. The other deep-sea hunters followed suit and easily climbed up as well.

As for the judges, they could only wait for the ship to be driven to the docking point before they could walk along the path with a gold-edged red carpet to the spacious deck.

"There are very few auras, but they are not none. There are two auras in the very center. Judging from their characteristics, one is half human and half dinosaur, and the other is similar to a dinosaur, but both auras are very weak."

After quickly scanning the area, Thomas sniffed the air, then walked into the Fool's cabin without consulting or waiting.

The spacious hall, bathed in the soft light of crystal chandeliers, exuded an air of nobility tinged with extravagance. Hundreds of round tables were neatly arranged throughout the hall, each covered with a clean red cloth, and even the chairs were meticulously arranged.

The small fountains and rockery decorations scattered throughout the room flowed with clean water, devoid of any seawater scent. In the small concert hall located in the very center of the hall, all the musical instruments were neatly arranged and spotless, as if awaiting the arrival of top musicians from Letania to entertain the dignitaries at the start of the banquet.

"This place is even cleaner than the cafeteria on Rhodes Island."

After making a remark, Thomas continued forward, following a faint scent in the air.

"Don't you know why it's chaotic there?"

Several deep-sea hunters followed behind, surveying the hall as they headed in another direction—the direction from which the two auras were located.

As for the judges and others who arrived at the hall a little later, they realized that Tomat and the others had gotten separated from them, so they were not in a hurry to catch up with them. Instead, they chose to go to the main control room first, which is the location of the captain's cabin.

On Thomas's side, since he didn't look at the interior layout of the Fool, he simply followed the scent—the scent of the dead Terrorfish. Following this, he walked along the long corridor on the side of the ship to a closed metal door marked "First Kitchen".

Several similar doors nearby are labeled "Second" and "Third," and there are also many rooms with more detailed distinctions such as "Dessert Workshop" and "Fresh Food Storage."

This is clearly the place where food was prepared for the huge hall from before.

Thomas gripped the doorknob and turned it tentatively a few times; the crackling sound meant it couldn't be opened without a key.

Then he pulled the whole door down and put it aside.

The lights turned on automatically, but the scene inside greatly disappointed Tomat. Although there were all kinds of cooking utensils and so many kinds of high-end kitchen knives that he might not be able to walk around, there was no trace of ingredients anywhere.

Except for that giant refrigerator that smelled of scorpions.

When it was opened, it was indeed filled with long-dead dinosaurs, and there were traces of cutting on the cooking table next to it.

It's clear that the person trying to cut up these tarantulas put in a lot of effort, and doesn't seem to really enjoy eating them, given that they look like they've been in the refrigerator for quite some time.

[Event] Fool's Tale: Chapter Thirty-One - Just Make Do

"Ok?"

Just as Thomas was feeling frustrated about his discovery, he suddenly sensed a movement on the ship.

The one that moved was the individual with an aura closer to that of the Terrorfish. It left the location of the other aura and headed straight for the kitchen area where Tomat was.
