On the boundless blue sea, a small sailboat sailed slowly by, and occasionally one or two figures could be seen busy on it.
The waves were lapping against the hull of the boat, and the girl sitting barefoot on the stern was humming a rhythmic tune and admiring the surrounding scenery.
"Mavis, if you sit like that, you will easily fall."
The sound of "quacking" came from far away, and the sound of wheels rolling over the deck sounded at the same time as someone's words.
"It doesn't matter, this sailing speed is very safe."
The blond girl who knew who the visitor was tilted her head slightly, swung her feet and smiled. Based on the knowledge she learned in books, she had already calculated the movement of the sea current.
"...Well, I know you are very happy to go to sea for the first time, but you have to stop it in moderation."
Coming to Mavis, the long years of getting along still made the brown-haired girl habitually worry.
Ever since she started packing her luggage, her friend had never been 'at peace', and the feather ears that kept swaying up and down completely betrayed the owner's mood.
Zella knew that Mabius had never stopped being curious about the mainland, but it was just because of her feet that she suppressed this wish.
So this time can be regarded as a good opportunity. If you can have free ‘labor’, why not do it?
And even if Yuri and the others don't come, Zeira plans to leave the island with Mavis.
After all, there is no way to start their adventure if they stay there all the time.
Looking at the feather-eared girl's back with some fondness, Zera has never forgotten their agreement.
"This is the sea...it's so beautiful! Zella!"
Mebis stood up from the stern of the boat, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to embrace the oncoming sea breeze, wanting to pass on his joy to Zella.
"Beauty is beautiful, but don't we see it every day?"
The overly excited little guy may have forgotten that "Sirius Island" is just a small island in the sea.
"That's different!"
Putting on a very knowledgeable look, the blond girl slowly started pacing at the stern of the boat.
“The scenery you see on the island is completely different from the scenery you see on the boat.”
"Because now we are taking the first step towards this world!"
Mabius turned around happily and looked up into the distance, softly telling her feelings.
It's just someone's attention, and it seems to be somewhere else now.
"...Yes, yes, I understand, but Mavis, did you forget to put on your shoes again?"
"Well……"
"It's more comfortable this way...it's really..."
He puffed up his mouth and muttered in dissatisfaction. Of course, Mavis could hear that this was his friend's concern.
Although she didn't wear shoes, she used magic power to protect her feet.
The two are obviously the same age, but Zella always treats her as a child.
But soon, the little guy put aside this little resentment and was once again attracted by the sea.
"Ah! Zella! Look! There is a fish!"
The floating shadow crossed the sea. Seeing this dolphin-like creature for the first time made Mabis excited again.
"Hey, I knew something would happen a long time ago, Qiang Qiang!"
And this time, the little guy's execution was so fast that Zella didn't even have time to prepare mentally.
"Wait, wait, Mavis! What are you going to do?"
Seeing the action Mavis made by putting her hands on her skirt, Zella shouted in panic.
There are men on this boat! Don’t treat free labor as human beings!
Fortunately, it was not as Zera feared. Although Mabius has a somewhat natural personality, she is not without the self-consciousness of a girl.
Although the fabric of the swimsuit seems to Zella to be no different from underwear...
After catching the dress thrown away by Mavis, Zella breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the girl playing happily in the sea, with a slight smile gradually appearing on her face.
"Forget it, that's it..."
But not everyone is as 'mature' as she is. Such a smile is more suitable for a thirteen-year-old girl.
With inexplicable emotion, Zella watched all this quietly from the stern of the boat.
Until a guy who doesn't understand the style breaks into their "world".
"...It's been noisy since the beginning, ladies, what on earth are you doing?"
Full of depression, because he heard the sound of something falling into the water, Yuri, who was a little worried, had to distract himself and come over to take a look.
They were working tirelessly at the helm and paying attention to the course. Can't these two girls be considerate of them?
"Huh? Where's Mavis?"
Frowning, he remembered that the little girl had been sitting at the stern of the boat, and he also reminded her that it was dangerous. Could it be that...?!
Yuri, whose expression changed in connection with the noise just now, rushed forward. However, before he could even take two steps, his vision turned dark.
"Oh, oh? What is going on?! Why can't I see anything?! Oh oh oh oh!! It hurts so much!"
The sudden change caused Yuri to hit the railing hard, and then lay down in pain, covering his head and eyes.
And his screams also attracted the other two people.
"Yuri?!"
"what happens?"
They rushed over from the bow of the ship one after another, and then they also received the same treatment as Yuri.
"Even me?!"
"Well……!"
Rubbing their eyes, Warlord and Precht were also startled.
A dark red light flashed across Zella's body, and it was obvious who the culprit was.
He snorted softly. In fact, even Zella himself didn't know why he did this. When he saw someone coming, he subconsciously used the magic to disrupt his vision.
Maybe, it's just that he doesn't want others to see Mavis like this.
Continuously rinsing his black panda-like eyes with water, Yuri kept moaning in pain.
For some reason, Warlord and Precht only felt a little uncomfortable and recovered quickly. Only Yuri's eyes were severely corroded by the dark magic.
When the three people knew the whole story, they couldn't help but lament that this was an unreasonable disaster.
"That, Zella, no matter how you say it, it's too..."
Mabis, who felt the commotion and returned to the ship, saw this scene and didn't know what to say.
She didn't even know her best friend had such a childish side.
"...I know, who made this guy want to take a peek."
Zella turned her head away angrily, not realizing her 'mistake'.
"What does peeking mean?"
With two artificial dark circles under his eyes, Yuri was almost furious.
Not to mention that he didn't see anything at all. He thought with good intentions that something had happened, but in the end he got into an inexplicable commotion.
"Who would be interested in your flat figure that has no front and no back! You witch who likes to pretend to be an adult!"
Unhappy, Yuri finally decided to resist and uttered words that would kill him.
"Hoho, you really said something interesting, golden-haired ape."
Her expression darkened. Unlike Mavis, who was unhappy because her figure was being ridiculed, Zella was annoyed that this fool dared to talk back after he had done something 'wrong'.
"Golden, golden retriever ape?!"
"puff……"
This metaphor was so vivid that the three people around him couldn't help but turn their backs and their bodies trembled slightly.
Yuri blushed and felt his self-esteem was hurt. He took two steps forward and decided to give this annoying little girl a little show.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
What was waiting for him were fireballs falling one after another.
"Wait, wait! I have something to say!!! Sister, I was wrong! Stop using magic! The boat is going to burn!!!!"
After a while, someone's cry echoed through the calm sea.
