Chapter 126 – A Dungeon Even at the Bottom of the Sea!?

Whilе receiving Littlе Yukui’s briеfing, Spicе and Shirokо wеrе fullу рrеparеd.

Alright, time tо divе!!

“Wow, but thе sеа аrоund Ishigaki Islаnd is reаlly beаutiful! It’s mаrinе bluе!!”

※『Super bеautiful』 Рrime Sirloin 『It’s so сlеar』 Rump 『Can’t bеliеve it’s the same cоuntrу’s sea. Little Spicе аnd Little Yukui’s swimsuits loоk greаt tоо, it’s likе heaven on еarth』

Thе Меat Brigаdе wаs also аgreeing еnthusiastically.

Littlе Yukui рuffed up рrоudly.

“Sеe, told уa! The whоle sеа’s like jewels or somеthin’.”

“Amаzing! I wаs bоrn neаr the mountаins, sо just thе sea fеels sресiаl tо me, but this сlеаr, spаrkling sеa is even more—!”

“Shiroko-chan, are you a mainlander’s mainlander?”

“Mainlander…?”

“Shiroko! ‘Mainlander’ means someone from Honshu, more or less. Are you from way, way deep inland or somethin’?”

“Yeah, yeah!”

“Whoa, senpai, you know your stuff!”

“Just an educated guess.”

※『Little Spice is smart!』『The old man’s knowledge is exploding』 Maruchou 『This is where adult experience comes in handy』

Yeah, yeah, never underestimate an old man’s powers of perception and adaptability.

Alrighty, from here, we dive into this beautiful sea.

Thanks to Virtualize and Aqua Spice’s power, we can talk even underwater.

What an incredible era we live in, huh.

“Kee… I mean, be careful, okay. Tiny Dungeons pop up here and there even in the water.”

Little Yukui corrected her dialect a bit.

Apparently, she’s conscious about not going full dialect so the listeners can understand, aiming for a mix that’s easy to grasp but still has that local flavor.

Pro~!

“Is that so! Dungeons exist in the sea too, huh. But, but, don’t Dungeons kinda come from people’s irritation or conflicts? Do things like that happen in the sea?”

“Hmm, the sea’s always had ghost stories and stuff, right? Those become Dungeons.”

“I see! That’s true, there are Ship Ghosts and Sea Monks and such. So those become Dungeonized, huh.”

“See, told ya.”

This “see, told ya” is apparently an agreeing phrase in the Yaeyama dialect.

So cute~.

“Whoa, I’ve got some rust, so I’ll proceed cautiously…”

“No worries, no worries! If Shiroko’s in danger, Spice will protect you! Like, bam!”

“Se, senpaaai!”

“Ooh, hot stuff. As expected of a married couple.”

Little Yukui smiled brightly.

By the way, that statement is dangerous~.

※『Nghh!!』『Married!?』『Meaning… Little Spice and Little Shiroko got married!?』『A yuri couple!』『Is this not yuri baiting?』『Little Spice is supposed to be an old man…』『No, he’s a little girl, what are you talking about』『If the two of them are happy, that’s OK』

The comment section was in a bit of a light uproar before apparently settling on “if they’re happy, it’s OK” as the conclusion.

Such a high-quality Meat Brigade!

“Since everyone’s being good, I’ll record an ASMR with the sound of waves later and share it!”

※『Wooooooow』『Thank youuuuu』『So happpppy』

I didn’t bring the Flying Head Spirit Microphone, but Floppy can use a pseudo-function for it, so we’ll do it with that.

Alright, from here on, it’s the inside of the Ishigaki sea.

Aqua Spice Full Armor Mode!

A swimming cap equipped on my head.

The Meat Brigade reacted hugely to this too.

With a splash as I dove in, even though I should have floaties on my limbs, Aqua Spice could descend into the water normally.

『They look like floaties, but they’re actually like Magic Tanks, you know. Plus, they get supplied with Magic Power from the sea with each use, so in this state, I can use magic infinitely. Mmm, the sea, it’s the best…!! I can dye the world while submerged~』

※『Marinna, her voice is cute but what she’s saying is dangerous lol』『I want her to do ASMR with this voice』『It’s a bit different from Flota’s high-pitched but menacing voice』『What she’s saying is unsettling but her voice is soothing』

Hohoho, Marinna’s voice is getting good reviews.

『Hmph, I won’t lose either!!』

※『Whoa, suddenly a deep, husky voice!』『Ignite, please leave the underwater area!』

Even in the sea, the Grimoires are lively.

By the way, right now the Grimoires are housed inside a ball made of bubbles.

If Flota acts up, the buoyancy might cause her to pop out with a boing, so for now, they’re being told to behave.

“Let’s go interact with the fishies.”

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

“Interact with fishies!?”

Guided by Little Yukui, we swam leisurely through the sea.

Apparently, Aqua Spice can generate thrust from my entire body and move freely underwater… but that’s just too uninteresting!

I’m properly kicking my legs to swim.

※『Ahh~ I can see Little Spice’s cute butt from behind~』『The kicking is adorable』『A feast for the eyes…』『Little Awatube, you’re not gonna strip ads for this level of content lately, huh?』『Ever since some high school girl streamer saved America, regulations around this stuff have gotten crazy lax』

“Whoa, really! Then Aqua Spice can change outfits freely! I think I’ll be in this form a lot while we’re in the tropics, so that’s a relief~”

Hearing that Aqua Spice Mode would be the default for this tropical trip, the Meat Brigade got super excited.

What a bunch who love sensitive content.

From here on, it’s fishy interaction time.

Underwater, there are fish that come closer when they see human figures.

It’s out of curiosity, or thinking they might get food, or so I’m told.

Fish are like regular animals, huh.

A large blue fish was being petted by Mashiro.

It’s basically like a big dog.

By the way, around Spice, there was a school of small fish…

『Master is a wielder of magic that rules the sea, so the fish are showing their deference, I think. Probably.』

“Probably?”

『I don’t know what fish are thinking~. But the sea is wonderful.』

“This Grimoire is surprisingly slapdash!”

Like this, the diving was proceeding enjoyably… but.

Where there’s a streamer, there’s trouble!

“Ah, I found a little Dungeon!”

“Wha, what!?”

Triggered by Little Yukui’s words, the situation shifts to Dungeon Clearing!
