el-styled ship, so it must have been Ashley’s fleet.
They perhaps had just arrived as sailors were busy about moving cargo. 

I stopped the U-Boat under the sea and brought Mimi up to the command post.
She followed while looking around the narrow passages since she’d been carried while unconscious.
She was curious about all the exposed piping and countless instruments. 

“Ah, um… W-Where are we going…?”

“You will get on the boat that will take you home.”

“Eh! I can go home?!”

You can go home.”

“But… But… I can’t go home –” 

And then… She burst into tears while sinking down and held her knees… 

Why can’t she go home? … I couldn’t ask. 

She eventually got up while holding herself, muttering her mother’s name….
Was there something I could say to her…? … Nothing came to mind.
But, there was still one thing I understood. 

“Mimi, I think your mother is praying for your return.”

“… But … But…” 

“Parents are the ones who accept all of their children, so you don’t need to worry about anything.” 

I lifted her up as she still cried and held her to my chest with one hand.
I climbed the later that lead to the upper floor of the control tower.
Among the transport ships, I moved the ship towards the largest ship which would mostly have Ashley.
Hoping she was there, I surfaced. 

“W-What the hell is that?!”

“T-That black ship! The one that I told you about earlier! It’s a sailess ship that intervened in our battle against the pirates!” 

“Hm, that is…” 

When I surfaced about 100 meters to the side of the largest ship, I could hear the noise on board it. 

“Assemble the combat sailors! Capture that black ship!” 

“Reizen! What are you talking about! Everyone is still unloading! 

“Sharle, Reizen, someone is coming out from the top —”

When I opened the hatch on top of the tower and climbed outside, I saw three people standing on the side of the ship.
Sharle- Piggy Reimon, and Ashley.

“Wha! Undead?! Get ready for all-out combat! The undead are out!” 

After he say me, Piggy Reimon ran to the other side of the ship — Dobon! I heard the sound of something falling into the water, or jumping into the sea… 

“Big sister, please step back!” 

Sharle-san came forward as if she was hiding Ashley.
Drawing her bow, her hand shined with light, But I stayed silent.
I was just staring at Ashley’s eyes with blue flaming eyes… Did she notice at this distance? 

“Sharle- lower that bow.”

“Sharle- lower the bow.”

“Why, big sister?!”

“Just a little bit, let’s wait a little bit.
Don’t let the combat sailors attack! However, prepare the defensive magic to be cast immediately!” 

Around them, there were a number of sailors.
It seemed she bought some time.
I threw the lifeboat into the sea as I left the tower and dropped Mimi into it as the sound of air jets sounded.
She stopped crying and looked up to me as if she wanted to say something.
I, however, just jumped back down the hatch before listening.
That was because the flagship Reizen appeared behind the transport ship. 

The U-Boat did a quick dive and evacuated the area…
