Chapter 294 – Going sightseeing freely.

Wеll thеn, having cоmрlеtеd thе dungeon streаm, thе next fеw days bесаmе соmpletеly freе timе.

I toоk Маshirо аnd the bаbies аnd camе tо thе Вelvedеre Оbservatorу.

Sеriously, this island has nоthing but thе observatory аnd mаgnificent, vast nature!!

Оf сourse, thеre’s а tоwn bу thе seaside.

We рass through thаt аnd hеad into thе mоuntаins.

Therе were аn awful lot of chiсkеns… Theу sеem tо have gоne feral.

Sinсe I’m mоving whilе floating the babies, оther tоurists wеrе getting rеally surрrisеd.

“I’m аn adventurе streаmеr in Jараn. Thаt’s whу I сan usе mаgic.”

“Oh! Is that so! Give my regards to Kiraboshi Hazuki!”

When you say Japanese streamers!

It’s Kiraboshi Hazuki, who saved the world.

Her name is known everywhere.

Thanks to that, we have a common topic, making communication easier.

“Mr. Shogo has already mastered interacting with foreigners in no time…!”

“Fufufu, I’m good at finding ways to make things easier.”

We walked together, greeting a foreign couple and such.

Our babies didn’t seem to mind at all that we’d come to a region with a completely different climate from Japan, sleeping soundly while floating in the air.

It’s a relief they’re quiet.

If anything happens, the Grimoires come rushing over to take care of them.

I feel like parenting for our couple has become pretty easy!

And then, we enjoyed the wonderful view from the observatory.

If I transformed into Spice, I could fly in the sky and see it anytime I wanted, but Mashiro can’t do that.

She was so impressed by the spectacular view from high up, snapping photos left and right.

“Ahh, I’ve fully enjoyed it.”

“You’ve only been looking through the viewfinder this whole time. How about looking with your own eyes from here?”

“Hah! W-well, now that you mention it…”

Coming to her senses, Mashiro seemed to decide to enjoy this magnificent view with her own eyes from then on.

You can preserve records as much as you want, but memories gained through your own filter are things you can’t create unless you consciously try.

After that, we descended the mountain and went to places like the Moorea Dolphin Center.

You can interact with dolphins.

Incidentally, the staff in charge of the dolphins were a Manma and a Mermaid.

“There’s an Other Species employment slot here too…”

“Ah! You’re Ms. Spice, right? I’ve heard about this magic power presence from our kin.”

The Manma bowed politely.

“Ah, well, hello. The Manma network is amazing…”

“Hahaha, since the lower half of our bodies is human, we can handle all the gadgets humans can use. Wireless earphones are fine too.”

“I’m a little jealous, you know. We, well, our ears are fins, so…”

A Manma being envied by a Mermaid big sister!

A sight I’ve never seen.

And while we interacted with the dolphins, by any measure, the Manma and Mermaid were more stimulating.

In a world where Other Species appear, hasn’t the rarity of interacting with dolphins diminished… or so I thought, but…

Unexpectedly, the dolphins were well-received by the foreign tourists.

I don’t get it.

“From a normal person’s perspective, wouldn’t half-human beings be less rare? Well, even from my view, the Other Species folks seem more noticeable.”

“It might be normalcy bias…!”

That aside, we did interact with the dolphins.

Marinna also comes nearby.

“Marinna, they say dolphins are smart, but are they at a level where they can use magic using Grimoires?”

‘No? They’re just animals, so impossible, you know?’

She went straight for the kill!!

The Grimoire governing the sea judged that dolphin intelligence hasn’t reached that level at all.

By the way, from Marinna’s perspective…

‘I think if an octopus’s lifespan were ten times longer, it could use magic~’

That’s what she said.

Octopuses are rated higher, huh.

Apparently, if you optimize for a fish-like form, the lack of free limbs prevents the intelligence needed to use magic from developing.

Hoh!

In other words, somewhere in the various Otherworlds, there might be tentacle-men-like beings with countless arms, and such beings could potentially handle magic to the ultimate degree…

‘Well, even with many arms, there are limits to the magic you can control, and such species have used up all their magic power root and stem and perished, you know~!’

Marinna laughed, “Ah ha ha~!”

That’s a knowing tone, isn’t it!?

Apparently, in the Otherworld she came from, such a thing happened.

Perhaps, from humans to about six-limbed humanoids is just right for using magic.

Thus, the sightseeing ended, and when we returned to the original island, we heard that the Cardinal Sin members had been enjoying marine activities on Bora Bora Island.

Nice.

When we come here someday, let’s go there too.

By that time, our little ones will probably be running around.

‘Now then! With this free day ending like this, we’ll disband tomorrow.’

Little Ira went into summary mode like an old man.

Well, he organized this gathering.

‘Everyone, did you exchange Zakko? Since we can meet anytime in VR, let’s keep in touch.’

“Woo-hoo!” everyone replied in understanding.

By the way, here, Windy finally seemed to get a chance to touch our babies… (Apparently, on the plane, she was so engrossed in chatting she didn’t touch them.)

“They’re this tiny, and already inheriting Grimoires!? So cooool!”

Saying things like that, she was poking the babies’ cheeks.

“If I have a child too, I guess they’d probably inherit Snow White… Hmm, I’m jealous of Spice having so many Grimoires.”

‘My! I’d appreciate it if you didn’t underestimate my capacity! I’ll show you I can handle about three generations of parent and child with just one volume!!’

Snow White said something reliable!

But, ability-wise for a Grimoire, it’s probably possible.

And so, the Polynesian trip ends here.

Without any incidents, this event drew to a close…

‘Master, it seems Powered has landed in Hokkaido!’

“Wha, what did you say!?”

Hey, Flota barged in at the very end!!
