I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 124: Grand Explorer

I looked at the massive ship in front of us, and I must say that it was beautiful. I know it cannot carry the same weight as the modern-era ship, but it has a beauty you can’t compare to the modern-era ship.

"This beauty is called the Grand Explorer. This is the biggest and the toughest ship in the entire Kingdom of Luzia. This is the first ship in this kingdom that goes to the Northern and Western Continent at once before going back here on a single trip. This is the ship leading the fleet against a fleet of pirates from the Eastern Continent trying to create a pirate kingdom. With the help of the Gipan Kingdom, we managed to defeat them."

I nod at that explanation and look at Hilda.

"The king is really going all out, huh?"

"He is just too worried about me. I already asked him that we only need a small ship, but he decided to use our biggest ship here."

"Well, he is your father, after all."

If I have a daughter who wants to explore the world, I will ensure she also has the best protection I can buy or produce. Speaking of protection... I think I will give them another upgrade before we arrive in the Western Continent.

Right. I also need to show them my guild base. I learned that I can take anyone and anything that touches my body. That means I can bring them to my Guild Base and show them around. However, that is for later.

"Anyway, with this beautiful piece of work, you will arrive in Western in ten days, the fastest and the slowest, three weeks." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"That big of a gap?"

Lord Hayur looks at me and says.

"It all depends on the weather and the goods. The more goods you want to bring in this ship, the slower it will get. Combine it with bad weather, and you will get even slower than usual. The sailor and captain of the ship will be one of the best we have. Even when you guys get lost on the sea because of the weather, they will quickly correct the course of the trip."

Fair enough.

"I see. What kind of monster should we watch out for on the way there?"

Void Crack did not only appear above ground but also appeared above the sea. The researcher says that the chances of them appearing is smaller than the one above the ground, but the sea can be dangerous because no one wants to explore the sea just to control the sea monster.

It will be dangerous and also expensive. Dangerous because they will fight on the ocean, and expensive because when a ship gets destroyed, they will lose quite a bit of money for nothing. Because of this, a marine will only patrol not too far away from shore.

The more I think about it, the more I respect the Marine Faction of the Gipan Kingdom.

"There should be no monster in the route you will take. Because of how frequently the route is used, the monsters that appear will quickly get killed by the other merchants and other nobles who want to travel."

Right. That means we can relax but prepare in case something happens, and I have a feeling we will fight at least once or twice in this journey, according to my luck.

"What you need to watch out for is a pirate because the route is near an Archipelago where the pirates use the Archipelago as their base."

"Really? Why does no one destroy them?"

"We do. However, it usually only happens every ten years. It is too expensive because they have the advantages because they are defending rather than attacking, and no one wants to die in a foreign land."

That is another great argument. People will not want to defend a land that is not theirs. To the people in this era, dying on a foreign land is not something they want unless they are conquering that said land, and that will be an honor because they are fighting to increase the land of their kingdom.

It is weird for someone from a modern world like me. Oh well. Nothing I can do about that.

"That is a shame. When was the last time it got attacked?"

"Two years ago, so you will have relatively smooth sailing."

"I see. That is good. Anyway, can we get inside the ship?"

"Of course! Follow me!"

Lord Hayur, my companion, and I get closer to the ship, and I can see people quickly create a small bridge when they see us coming. When we got closer, a young woman wearing a uniform jumped out of the ship and landed near us. She gives us a beautiful smile and says,

"Welcome to the Grand Explorer, Princess, Lord Hayur, and honored guest."

Lord Hayur looks at us and says,

"She will be your captain for your journey. Please introduce yourself."

"Yes!"

The young woman walks forward and says.

"My name is Nathalia Horace! I’m given the honor of steering the Grand Explorer for this journey! You can rest assured that no harm will come to you and your companion, Princess!"

Is that a side glare, I see? What is her problem?

I’m about to say something, but before I can do that, Hilda walks forward with a frown on her face.

"That is rude, you know?"

"Princess?"

"This man is the one helping us! He is the owner of the little of Luzia Kingdom’s Savior! He is the one curing the curse! He is the one who kills the monster coming from the Void Crack, and he is the one curing all the people in need! You dare not to greet him or bow at him, and now you even dare to glare at him?! As your princess, I order you to show some respect to him and not think of him as a mere guest!"

The woman widens her eyes, and she quickly kneels on the ground in front of me before saying.

"I apologize, O Hero! To dare even to think that you are just another noble who wants to woo our princess is a shame that I cannot bear! Please tell me anything about my punishment!"

I can only sigh and rub my temple as a headache starts to appear.

"Please get up. As long as you do not do that any longer, I don’t mind. Also, didn’t the king send a letter saying that we are coming?"

The woman, Nathalia, gets up and says.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. As for the letter, his highness gave a letter of command saying that an important person would come. When I see the princess from a distance, I think that she is an important person, and you are one of the nobles that keep pestering the princess to try to marry her for power."

I look at Hilda, who sighs and nods. She has it rough, huh? I’m lucky that I’m a man, and Southern people respect me enough not to breach my comfort zone.

"I see. Then there is no reason for me not to forgive you then. Anyway, we will be the ones who want to go to the Western Continent. However, before we go tomorrow morning, we want to see the ship first."

"Of course, let me show you around."

My companion and I get inside the Galleon, where Nathalia shows us around.

"This is the deck of the ship. We can tie any goods you want to bring here if they are too big for the storage room underneath here."

"How much goods can we bring? How much weight can this ship carry?"

"Grand Explorer is designed to carry a lot of goods from around the world. Because of this, it can carry a very large number of goods. With this ship alone, it can even carry goods that can feed an entire kingdom for two days. Yes, that includes the commander and not only the nobles."

That is quite a bit of good, huh? Feeding the entire kingdom, including the commoner and not only the nobles, requires a lot of food. However, that depends on the amount of food. I think you can feed the entire kingdom with bread for each person there, and the weight will be too much.

Oh, well. I did not intend to buy that many goods anyway. A few tons of goods should be good for me.

"This will be your room, my lord."

I snap from my thoughts when we arrive in front of a corridor full of rooms.

"To the right will be your private room for Princess Hildegard, Lady Silvanna, and you, my lord. While the room on the left is for your guard."

Nathalia opens the door and shows us a beautiful room filled with many kinds of things. There are two beds there. A king-size bed fits three people, and a small one fits two people.

"And that will be all, my lord. The other one is the crew room and storage room. I don’t think you want to see it at the moment. It is rather filthy. We are still cleaning them."

"Not a problem. We are satisfied with it. Thank you for showing us around, and I’m looking forward to sailing with you."

She smiles at me and says,

"Leave it to me, my lord!"
