10 - Trident 三叉戟

The guest room I used to sleep.

我曾經睡過的客房。

In it, I lay, dead tired from the break of dawn. I9;m sure my face was quite pale. It was painful to move, and I felt terrible.

我躺在裏面，天剛亮就累得要死。我想我的臉色一定很蒼白。動一動都很痛苦，感覺糟透了。

A bucket was left nearby, and Novem was in the room nursing me.

旁邊放着一個桶，諾維姆在房間裏照顧我。

“Lyle-sama, are you alright? Do you want some water?”

"萊爾大人，您沒事吧？要喝點水嗎？"

The deterioration of physical state before a Growth.

成長前身體狀態的惡化。

It was coming out in me quite evidently, and I was also being battered by seasickness. From yesterday evening, I9;d already spit up a number of times, and caused trouble for Novem and Monica.

這在我身上表現得非常明顯，我也被暈船折磨得夠嗆。從昨天晚上開始，我已經吐了好幾次，給諾維姆和莫妮卡添了不少麻煩。

Shannon stopped by the room to observe my state.

香農在房間裏停下來觀察我的狀態。

“Uwah, how terrible…”

香農"哇，好可怕......"

She looked over my weakened form with a delighted face. Behind her, stood Monica with laundry in hand.

她一臉欣喜地看着我虛弱的樣子。在她身後，站着莫妮卡，手裏拿着洗好的衣服。

“Little girl. The Chicken Dickhead9;s Fever Time is coming. Please quiet down.”

"小姑娘。雞頭的發燒時間就要到了。請安靜下來。"

"香農呢？"

米蘭達目不轉睛地盯着坐在牀頭翻閱的那本書。

“At Lyle9;s place. That girl9;s too curious to help it.”

"如果你把身體擦乾淨，你就會感到安心。好嗎，萊爾大人？"

➐

“Where9;s Shannon?”

Miranda didn9;t take her eyes off the book, sitting atop the bed, flipping through the pages.

… Aria called out to Miranda, who was reading a book in their room.

... 阿瑞雅叫住了正在房間裏看書的米蘭達。

自從我離開房子後，我感覺我的性格變得越來越糟糕了。

『… It9;s become lonelier here than it was at the start, thought.』

"是啊，他這種狀態已經有好幾天了。他一起牀肯定會高度緊張的。"

She looked down at Shannon with an unpleasant expression, but when she looked at me, she was smiling…

『但是萊爾身邊變得熱鬧起來了，這不是很好嗎？你看，我們一開始就不該來這兒。就當是我們見證萊爾成長的幸運吧。』

She was truly delighted as she recommended for me to change. Novem gave a biter smile, as she stood, and extended a hand to me to help me stand.

五爺的聲音只是比平時低了一些。

"在萊爾家。那姑娘好奇心太強了，沒辦法。"

“Just leave me alone. And I9;m definitely not failing this time. You hear that? Not happening! I9;ve already failed four times. The fifth time… the fifth time onwards will be different.”

"這不可能。絕對不可能。現在讓你自己更難堪吧。"

當我把毯子蓋在頭上時，香農笑了。

看到她如此親切地照顧我，我聽到了寶玉的聲音。是四爺的聲音。

The Third sounded as aloof as usual.

爲我堅持到底的是老七。

"雞頭，我已經洗過你的牀單了，你的衣服也完好無損！現在換個衣服怎麼樣？你不能穿着又溼又粘的衣服迎接你的發燒時間。"

『......這裏比一開始更孤獨了，我想。』

她真的很高興，一邊推薦我去換衣服。諾維姆露出一個咬牙切齒的笑容，她站起來，向我伸出一隻手，扶我站起來。

『他從一開始就一點都不成熟。你勾起了我的一些回憶。在第一家客棧，她給你洗頭，你卻不以爲意，視若自然。』

Aria9;s face turned a little red, and she touched her hand to it to hide her embarrassment.

Seeing her nurse me so kindly, I heard a voice from the Jewel. It was the Fourth9;s voice.

（他們又在說那個萊爾先生嗎？該死的，我以前總是剋制不住自己，這肯定是這些傢伙的錯！）。

“It9;s impossible. Definitely impossible. Now embarrass yourself more.”

Clara had gotten quite used to the boat, but her health declined whenever she tried reading, so she was outside taking in the outside air for now.

他們表現得好像這是件好事，但我只能從 "成長 "這部分感受到惡意。

Aria had finished her daily training on the deck, so she had returned to the room with a towel around her shoulders.

There, Novem embraced me, and carefully lifted my body. I was probably making a terrible face, but she smiled as she sat me up, and began stripping off my clothes.

米蘭達一邊和阿瑞雅交談，一邊繼續看書。

“If you wipe down your body, you9;ll feel relieved. Okay, Lyle-sama?”

When I pulled my blanket over my head, Shannon laughed.

阿麗雅把毛巾掛在牀鋪的欄杆上，脫下了自己的衣服。脫下被汗水粘在皮膚上的衣服後，她開始翻包找換洗的衣服。

阿瑞雅已經結束了在甲板上的日常訓練，所以她肩上圍着一條毛巾回到了房間。

"從某種意義上說，那是他最好的時候。他不會感到絲毫羞愧或尷尬，所以大約只有在這種時候，他才能盡情展現自己的能力。他以前從未像這樣出戰過，但我真懷疑他是否比平時的萊爾更強壯。"

The one who followed through for me was the Seventh.

『But it9;s gotten lively around Lyle, so isn9;t it all fine? See, we shouldn9;t even be here to begin with. Think of it as a spot of fortune we get to witness Lyle9;s Growth.』

三世的聲音一如既往地冷漠。

"別管我。這次我絕對不會再失敗了。你聽到了嗎？不會了！我已經失敗四次了。第五次......第五次以後就不一樣了。"

But taking her hand was a pain.

在那裏，諾維姆擁抱着我，小心翼翼地抬起我的身體。我的表情可能很難看，但她微笑着讓我坐起來，開始脫我的衣服。

“In a sense, that9;s him at his best. He doesn9;t feel the slightest bit of shame or embarrassment, so that9;s around the only time that man can show off his abilities to his fullest extent. He9;s never gone out to battle like that before, but I really wonder whether he9;s stronger than the usual Lyle.”

但握着她的手是件痛苦的事。

They were acting as if it were a good thing, but I could feel nothing but malice from the ‘Growth9; part of it.

And since I left the House, I get the feeling my personality has taken quite a run for the worse.

她低頭看着香農，表情很不愉快，但當她看向我時，她笑了......

The Fifth9;s voice was just a little lower than usual.

“Chicken Dickhead, I9;ve washed your sheets, and your clothes are in perfect condition! Now how about a change? You can9;t greet your Fever Time in such wet and sticky clothes.”

“Yeah, he9;s been in that state for a few days now. He9;s sure to be in high tensions once he gets up.”

克拉拉已經很習慣船上的生活了，但每當她想看書時，她的健康狀況就會下降，所以她暫時在外面呼吸外面的空氣。

『He9;s not matured at all from the start. You9;re bringing back some memories. At the first inn, she washed your hair, while you remained unmindful, and treated it as natural.』

『嘿，在他完成成長之前，他的健康會被擊垮。暫時沒辦法。不過回想起來，你確實成長了不少，萊爾。』

『Hey, his health will be shot out until he9;s done with his Growth. There9;s no helping it for now. But thinking back to the beginning, you9;ve sure grown quite a bit, Lyle.』

Miranda continued reading the book as she conversed with Aria.

阿瑞雅的臉有點紅，她用手摸了摸臉，掩飾自己的尷尬。

Aria hung her towel over the railing of the bunk, and took off her clothes. After taking off the garments that had been stuck to her skin from her sweat, she began looking through her bags for a change.

0;Are they talking about that mr. lyle again? Dammit, it9;s definitely these guys fault that I was never able to restrain myself before!1;

“It9;s common to make mistakes in a post-Growth state, so isn9;t it a general rule to avoid battle?”

"在成長後的狀態下，犯錯誤是常有的事，所以避免戰鬥不是一般的規則嗎？"

“… That9;s right, but I can9;t help but wonder. In all actuality, just how strong is a serious Lyle? Aren9;t you curious?”

"......沒錯，但我不禁要問。實際上，認真的萊爾到底有多強？你不好奇嗎？"

After wiping down her body and changing, Aria sat on her bed.

擦拭完身體，換好衣服，阿瑞雅坐在牀上。

“Serious? He9;s still holding back?”

"認真？他還在隱忍？"

Perhaps Miranda had finished the book, as she closed it, and set it on the bed.

也許米蘭達已經把書看完了，她合上書本，把它放在牀上。

“He9;s not. But just what would happen if he used all his Skills to their fullest. Lyle has eight whole Skills, does he not? Even if they9;re Support Class, shouldn9;t that number be formidable? That blue gem of his has been handed down for generations, so there are no duplicate Skills in it; it9;s needlessly amazing.”

"他沒有。但如果他把所有技能都發揮到極致，會發生什麼呢？萊爾不是有整整八個技能嗎？就算是輔助類的，這個數字也應該很厲害吧？他的那塊藍色寶石是世代相傳的，裏面的技能不會重複，不用說也很厲害。"

Unable to comprehend the meaning behind her words, Aria tilted her head. So Miranda sighed, and gave an explanations.

無法理解她話裏的意思，阿瑞雅歪了歪頭。於是米蘭達嘆了口氣，給出瞭解釋。

“You listening? When you9;re in a time of crisis, and you have no choice but to manifest a Skill, then it9;s common for body-strengthening, or some other simple Skill to manifest. But if you have those simple Skills from the start, you9;re going to get something different, right?”

"你在聽嗎？當你處於危機時刻，你別無選擇，只能表現出一種技能，那麼表現出身體強化或其他一些簡單的技能是很常見的。但如果你從一開始就擁有這些簡單的技能，你會得到不一樣的東西，對嗎？"

Aria nodded.

阿瑞雅點了點頭。

“I kinda get it. My red gem also has a body-strengthening Skill. And wait, I still don9;t really know how it differs from Lyle.”

"我有點明白了。我的紅色寶石也有一個強化身體的技能。等等，我還真不知道它和萊爾有什麼不同。"

"我不好。這堆積如山的文件到底是什麼？爲什麼扎因和洛菲斯的文件會被直接送到萊爾先生在貝姆的豪宅裏！"

馬克西姆看着堆積如山的表格。

“… He9;s a hero who9;s done magnificent service for both countries, so I don9;t believe it strange for these sorts of documents to come. I-is it strange?”

看着米蘭達立刻進入了夢鄉，阿瑞雅開始思考接下來的日子該如何度過......

她嘟囔着說。

“I9;m not alright. Just what is this mountain of paperwork? Why is paperwork from Zayin and Lorphys being delivered straight to Mr. Lyle9;s mansion in Beim!?”

Maksim looked at the mountain of forms.

Bursting into Adele9;s room, Maksim saw the girl fall prostrate over her desk, and called out.

衝進阿黛爾的房間，馬克西姆看見女孩癱倒在書桌前，便叫了起來。

She muttered that.

是阿黛爾。

"當然奇怪！爲什麼報告會到這裏來！？爲什麼提案要徵求他的授權！？那個人到底做了什麼？還有，這封來自洛菲斯公主的信......竟然是一首情詩！這是什麼？你做了什麼，萊爾先生！"

Similar strengthening Skills.

Maksim threw his towel aside, took up his spear, and leapt into the mansion, heading straight for Adele9;s room.

The blue gem one, a strengthening Skill of the Support Class.

It was Adele.

"......他是個英雄，爲兩國都立下了汗馬功勞，所以這些文件送來我不覺得奇怪。我--奇怪嗎？"

“There9;s no way a non-specialist like me would be able to explain it. But you can tell there are some subtle differences, right? More importantly, I9;ll be rotating out with Novem, and taking care of Lyle tonight. I9;ll be getting some sleep now, so please don9;t wake me.”

阿瑞雅說話了。

米蘭達把書拿到房間裏的一張小書桌前，躺了下來，把毯子披在身上，閉上了眼睛。

… Beim; Lyle9;s mansion.

"這是什麼意思！！"

Automaton No. 2 was maintaining the yard, and the two of them were the only ones visible in the entirety of the vast mansion.

類似的強化技能。紅色寶石蘊含着先鋒級的強化技能。

“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIIIIIS!!”

藍色寶石一顆，是輔助類的強化技能。

In the large estate, Maksim was swinging about his spear in the yard to polish up his Skills.

There, Adele hit her palms against the desk top a number of times.

➐

“If this was masters, I9;d preserve and worship it… hah, let9;s get back to work.”

Aria spoke.

“Are you alright, milady!?”

Automaton No. 2 collected up Maksim9;s towel, and offered a line.

Slowly raising her face, Adele sought salvation from Maksim with teary eyes.

“Eh? I never heard anything about… and she9;s already asleep!”

馬克西姆遺憾地垂下頭。

Seeing Miranda instantly fall asleep, Aria began to think over how she would spend the rest of her day…

Miranda brought the book to a small desk in the room, lay down, draped the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes.

阿黛爾嘆了一口氣。

阿黛爾慢慢抬起臉，用淚眼向馬克西姆尋求救贖。

"我道歉，夫人。我無能爲力......"

在偌大的莊園裏，馬克西姆正在院子裏揮舞着長矛，打磨他的技能。

"阿黛爾女士！！"

“Lady Adele!!”

"像我這樣的非專業人士是沒辦法解釋清楚的。但你能看出其中的細微差別，對嗎？更重要的是，我今晚要和諾維姆輪流出去，照顧萊爾。我現在要去睡覺了，請不要吵醒我。"

But even if there were some differences here and there, they demonstrated similar effects. Miranda raised her hands in the air, and assumed a pose of surrender.

"誒？ 我從來沒聽說過......她已經睡着了！"

“I apologize, milady. There is nothing much I can do to…”

不過，即使這裏和那裏有些不同，但它們表現出的效果卻大同小異。米蘭達舉起雙手，做出投降的姿勢。

馬克西姆把毛巾扔到一邊，拿起他的長矛，縱身躍入宅邸，直奔阿黛爾的房間。

"如果這是主人，我一定會保護它、崇拜它......哈，我們回去工作吧。"

類似的強化技能。

馬克西姆無休止地重複着基本動作，擦了擦汗，正準備休息一下，忽然聽到宅子裏傳來一聲尖叫。

The red gem contained a strengthening Skill of the Vanguard Class.

“Of course it is! Why are the reports coming here!? Why are the proposals seeking his authorization!? Just what did that man do!? What9;s more, this letter from the Princess of Lorphys… it9;s a freaking love poem! What is this!? What did you do, Mr. Lyle!?”

"你沒事吧，夫人！"

......貝姆；萊爾的宅邸。

Maksim endlessly repeated the basic movements, wiped off his sweat, and was about to take a break, when he heard a scream from the mansion.

2號自動機正在維護院子，偌大的宅子裏只有他們兩個人的身影。

Maksim hung his head in regret.

在那裏，阿黛爾多次用手掌敲擊桌面。

Adele let out a sigh.

自動機 2 號撿起馬克西姆的毛巾，說了一句話。

“Then can you get me a refill on my drink, Maksim? They9;re apparently going to be picked up today evening, so I9;ll have to have them done by then.”

"那你能幫我續杯酒嗎，馬克西姆？他們顯然要在今天傍晚去取，所以我必須在那之前把它們弄好。"

He took a cup from a tired Adele. Maksim put his spear under his armpit, and held the cup quite preciously, as he left the room.

他從疲憊的阿黛爾手中接過杯子。馬克西姆把長矛放在腋下，頗爲珍視地捧着杯子，離開了房間。

“I9;ll have it ready at once!”

"我馬上去準備！"

As Maksim dashed down the hallway, automaton maid No. 1…

當馬克西姆衝向走廊時，自動女僕一號......

“Don9;t run in the halls.”

"別在走廊裏跑。"

Offered him a warning…

向他發出警告......

➐

… It was around when the ship voyage was entering its sixth day.

... 大約是在飛船航行進入第六天的時候。

Lyle was still bed-ridden.

萊爾仍然臥病在牀。

At this point, it was agony for him to even let out words, and if someone talked to him, they9;d only get a, ‘meh…9; or, ‘yeah…9; in response.

這時候，他連說話都很痛苦，如果有人跟他說話，只能得到 "嗯...... "或 "是啊...... "的回應。

The bridge was about to enter dangerous water, so Vera had checked his room to confirm he was still in a horrible state.

『我，我看到了什麼！天空烏雲密佈......』。

船長對驚慌失措的水手喊道，希望他能得到更確切的信息。

Vera looked out the window of the bridge, before rushing out of it.

“Those goddess of fortune rumors again? Don9;t go there. They drive all the men away, and I9;m quite troubled here.”

她自己還沒有認清他們的關係。但在薇拉的印象中，一個人不是時間問題。這位年輕的僕人才華橫溢，而且性格認真。

『I-I can see something! And the sky is clouding over…』

The captain shouted at the panicking sailor to get some more definite information.

And that was the part that had drawn her in as well.

這也是吸引她的地方。

She herself had yet to recognize their relations. But Vera was under the impression that one wasn9;t a problem of time. The young servant was talented, and blessed with an earnest personality.

薇拉想起了她的妹妹，還有那個在宅子裏工作的年輕僕人。她們的年齡相仿，而那個在宅子周圍幫忙幹活的男孩......他曾是維拉的初戀情人。

在這之前，天氣一直很好。海鳥在船上飛來飛去，但現在它們完全消失了。旋轉的雨雲在天空中盤旋，雨開始下了，薇拉把黑髮向後推了推，看着前方。

橋即將進入危險的水域，所以維拉檢查了他的房間，確認他仍然處於可怕的狀態。

She knew the red parasol the boy had given her as a present was something her sister put out money for, and asked him to buy.

"夫人，冒險者們的情況如何？有幾個人行動還算鎮定，但那個人還沒露面，水手們都開始擔心了。"

Vera recalled her younger sister, and the young servant who9;d worked at the mansion. Their ages were around the same, and the boy who assisted in work around the mansion… he had been Vera9;s first love.

維拉望着艦橋的窗外，然後衝出了艦橋。

薇拉不假思索地彙報了她的所見所聞。

“Well that9;s quite a… anyways, we have you with us, milady, so there9;s nothing to worry about.”

The captain pulled his cap down, and gave a dry smile.

The captain raised a loud laugh.

她並沒有繼續拖下去。但當那個男孩長到可以駕船出海的年齡時，他開始追求的卻是她的妹妹。姐妹倆並不衝突，薇拉甚至說她會支持她。

Vera offered a light response of, ‘and how nice that would be,9; but inside, she didn9;t feel all that well.

“Milady, how are the adventurers faring? A few of them are moving around quite calmly, but the man has yet to show himself, so the sailors are getting worried.”

She wasn9;t still dragging it out. But when that boy grew to the age where he could take a ship out to sea, it was her sister he had begun to court. The sisters weren9;t at odds, and Vera even said she9;d support her.

Rather than worry, they were beginning to wonder if he9;d really be of any use.

“Then it9;s the men who9;ve got no eyes for women. You9;re a fine woman, milady, so they9;ll flock to you whether you like it or not someday.”

“What9;s all this? There wasn9;t any wind before… and this is…”

"又是那些幸運女神的謠言？別去那裏他們把所有的人都趕走了，我在這裏很煩惱。"

0;If father recognizes it, he9;s sure to be the successor. And I9;ll be stuck on this ship forever, will I…1;

船長拉了拉帽子，乾笑了一聲。

0;Hah, I really should have talked with him some more… once I get back, the three of us can sit down for a nice long…1;

Her sister was likely trying to be mindful, But Vera found herself becoming pitiful.

When she thought to herself, a voice came from one of the numerous metal tubes on the bridge. It was the one connected to the lookout post.

"那可真是......不管怎麼說，我們有你在身邊，夫人，所以沒什麼好擔心的。"

當她抓住附近的欄杆時，船開始劇烈搖晃。

薇拉的表情有些僵硬，但她立刻笑了起來。

"他還處於生長前期，絕對不是什麼好東西。時機太糟糕了。他們真的在外面，那些運氣不好的人。不管是什麼冒險者，一旦成爲第一流的冒險者，我還以爲他們得是運氣比較好的，看來那個人不一樣。"

"米拉迪，快進去！你會被淋溼的！"

就在她胡思亂想的時候，一個聲音從艦橋上衆多金屬管道中的一個傳了出來。它就是連接瞭望哨的那個。

一名水手跟在她後面，讓她回去。

"那就是男人眼裏沒有女人。你是個好女人，夫人，不管你願不願意，他們總有一天會對你趨之若鶩的。"

（......不知不覺中，他已經開始和她正常說話了，可我一直是個女主人，不是嗎？）

0;… Before I knew it, he had started speaking to her normally, yet I was always a milady, wasn9;t I. I9;ve always been called heartless, but it9;s honestly quite rough.1;

“He9;s still in a pre-Growth, and absolutely no good. The timing was too bad. They really are out there, those luckless folks. Whatever adventurers, once they got to be first rate, I thought they would have to be the luckier ones, but it looks like that man is different.”

與其說他們擔心，不如說他們開始懷疑他是否真的有用。

Vera9;s expression hardened a bit, but she immediately smiled.

A sailor followed her, and told her to return.

Vera reported what she9;d seen without any falsehoods.

她知道，男孩送給她的紅色陽傘是姐姐拿出錢，讓他買的禮物。

（如果父親認準了，他肯定是接班人。而我將永遠被困在這艘船上，是不是......）。

The captain asked Vera about the state of her bodyguards, aka Lyle9;s Party.

（套近乎的人都是爲了錢。當我在海上漂泊的時候，你還指望我遇到什麼人？天哪......）。

船長向薇拉詢問她的保鏢，也就是萊爾黨的情況。

The weather had been splendid right up that point. Sea birds were flying around the vessel, but now they had disappeared entirely. Swirling rain clouds were spiraling their way into the sky, and as rain began to fall, Vera pushed her black hair back, and looked ahead.

（哈，我真應該和他多聊幾句......等我回去後，我們三個可以好好地坐一坐......）。

船長大聲笑了起來。

0;The ones who draw close are all just after the money. And when I9;m out here on the ocean, just how do you expect me to meet a people? Good grief…1;

薇拉輕描淡寫地回答："那該多好啊！"但她的內心卻不是滋味。

When she gripped a nearby railing, the boat began to rock violently.

"這是怎麼回事？之前一點風都沒有......這是......"

“Milady, quickly go inside! You9;ll get wet!”

她姐姐可能是想關心一下她，但是薇拉發現自己變得很可憐。

Vera was looking straight in the direction of the boat9;s trajectory. And after pointing her hand at the sailor, she immediately gave orders.

薇拉直直地望着船行駛的方向。用手一指水手，她立刻下達了命令。

“Turn this boat around! Port or starboard, I don9;t care! Change our course at once!”

"把船掉頭！左舷還是右舷，我不管！馬上改變航向！"

But pushing the sailor to the side, the captain popped out his head.

但把水手推到一邊，船長卻冒出了頭。

“Milady! The rudder isn9;t working! It9;s as if we9;re being pulled in, reeled in ahead!”

"夫人！舵失靈了！我們好像被拉住了，被卷在前面了！"

Vera mortifyingly looked straight ahead.

薇拉驚恐地直視前方。

There, showing its face from the water surface, was a large monster… no, one known as a god of the seas, a 【Trident Serpent】 was looking their way.

在那裏，從水面上露出臉來的是一個大怪物......不，是一個被稱爲海神的怪物，一條【三叉戟巨蛇】正朝他們這邊望來。

It had three heads, and the middle one looked just like its namesake… from the sides of its jaw, grew sharp protrusions unidentifiable as horns or fangs; they were made of an unknown metallic substance.

它有三個頭，中間的那個看起來就像它的名字一樣......從它的下巴兩側長出了尖銳的突起物，無法辨認是角還是獠牙；它們是由一種未知的金屬物質製成的。

Such protrusion weren9;t on the other heads, but she noticed the six eyes of the three heads were looking their way.

其他的腦袋上沒有這種突起物，但她注意到這三個腦袋的六隻眼睛都在看着他們。

She could only despair. It was several times larger than the Vera Trēs, and from the eyes of sailors, a monster that was a difficult one to even try and survive against. Yes, it was a monster, and even if it was called a god of the seas, it was looking on them as prey.

她只能感到絕望。它比維拉.特里斯大好幾倍，在水手們的眼裏，這是一個連想在它面前生存都很困難的怪物。是的，它是一個怪物，即使它被稱爲海神，也是把他們當作獵物。

A little below where its heads forked off, she could see a large fin. It was floating on the surface, waiting for them to draw closer.

在它的頭部分叉處的下方一點，她可以看到一個大鰭。它漂浮在海面上，等待着它們靠近。

"不會有什麼好結果的。用槍指着海神。"

But a single sailor…

本該生病睡着的男孩公然無視蜷縮着的水手們，向船頭走去。

Raising a face taken aback, Vera vexingly grit her teeth.

“Prepare for battle! We9;re not going to let ourselves go down just like that! This is a state-of-the-art ship, is it not!”

在甲板頂上，是那個藍髮少年的身影。

雨越下越大，薇拉瞪着眼前的三叉戟巨蛇......她注意到了那裏。

“There9;s no way a cannon9;ll take down a god…”

薇拉的聲音再次響起。"準備戰鬥我們不會讓自己就這樣倒下的！這是一艘最先進的船，不是嗎！"

“… Get off the ship, milady. With a small boat, there9;s still a chance you9;ll get out alive.”

“There9;s no way I could run. It9;s the currents pulling this ship in.”

Bu the sailors were making expressions of despair.

她知道自己再也見不到家人了，但即便如此，也許這也是擺脫目前被禁錮狀態的一種手段。

0;The hell am I thinking about? If we sink here, I9;ll really sink to the ocean9;s depths… ocean9;s depths? You9;re telling me that was a prophetic dream?1;

And on the deck, the sailors, sat, and held their heads.

他們陷入了絕望，甚至沒有一個海員試圖有所行動。於是，維拉又用拳頭擊打欄杆。

He was soaked by the rain, yet he continued across the shaking vessel, looked at the enemy, and…

他被雨水淋溼了，卻繼續穿過搖晃的船隻，看着敵人，然後......

但一個水手......

"完美！！太棒了！那高大的身軀，那英武的輪廓，那威嚴的氣勢！你一定是我值得尊敬的對手！你一定是我雄偉的對手！"

Lightning fell from the clouds, and lit up the dark shadow of the Trident Serpent in a pale blue light. Its blue scales beautifully reflected the seven colors of the rainbow, as it eagerly awaited the arrival of its prey.

The captain seemed to have given up as well. Of all else, that9;s just how overwhelming the opponent was. The center head looked as if it were wearing a crown. A golden crown, and those sharp golden blades on the sides of its mouth.

Vera leaned in as she heard that elated voice.

"......讓幸運女神見鬼去吧。看看這個。"

“… Even so, god of the seas there.”

"可是，夫人......我們面對的是一個神。"

"大炮是不可能打倒神的......"

水手們，坐着，抱着頭。"......下船吧，夫人。用小船，你還有機會活着出去。"

“… Prepare for battle. Take out the cannons. We can9;t just leave this god of the seas to do as he pleases forever!”

看到三叉戟大蛇，船長把帽子儘量往下拉。

（我到底在想什麼？如果我們沉在這裏，我就真的會沉到大海深處......大海深處？你是說那是個預言夢？）

The boy who should9;ve been sick and asleep blatantly ignored the sailors curling up, and headed for the front of the boat.

“… To hell with goddess of fortune. Just look at this.”

Lyle spread his arms out with in the rain, and shouted out in a loud voice.

“A splendid opponent to commemorate this Growth! You shall… become the fuel for my money-raising schemes!! Fwahaha, FWAHAHAHA… *cough*! Swallowed a little seawater. The water spray here is awful.”

Vera slowly turned to look at the captain.

She knew she wouldn9;t be able to see her family again, but even so, maybe that was a means to escape from her current locked-down situation.

“What does he intend to do over there…”

她搖了搖頭。

看着以 "三叉戟之蛇 "號爲中心的漩渦狀水面，維拉把拳頭放進了欄杆。

Vera wrung out her voice once more.

As the rain grew stronger, Vera glared at the Trident Serpent before her eyes… and there, she noticed.

Looking at the swirling water surface centered on the Trident Serpent, Vera lowered her fist into the rail.

她的眼睛睜得大大的。"......準備戰鬥。把大炮拿出來我們不能讓這個海神永遠爲所欲爲！"

Together with is jaw, it looked like a three-pronged spear.

船長似乎也放棄了。這就是對手的壓倒性優勢。中間的頭顱彷彿戴着一頂皇冠。一頂金色的皇冠，嘴邊還有那些鋒利的金色刀片。

"我根本跑不動。是洋流在拉這艘船。"

Atop the deck, the form of the young man with blue hair.

And she shook her head.

"他打算在那邊做什麼......"

薇拉慢慢地轉過身來看着船長。

再加上它的下巴，看上去就像一把三棱長矛。

薇拉再次擰緊了嗓子。

而在甲板上，水手們坐着，抱着頭。

“Nothing good9;ll come of it. Pointing a gun at the god of the seas.”

Seeing the Trident Serpent, the Captain pulled his cap down as far as it went.

"......即便如此，那裏的海神。"

They were in despair, and none of the seamen even tried to make a move. So Vera hit her fist against the railing again.

維拉驚訝地抬起臉，苦惱地咬着牙。

“But milady… it9;s a god we9;re up against.”

布水手們露出絕望的表情。

薇拉聽到那個欣喜若狂的聲音，便湊了過去。

“Peeerfect!! Wonderful! That large frame, that heroic silhouette, that majesty!! You must be a worthy opponent for my magnificence!”

萊爾在雨中張開雙臂，高聲喊道。

閃電從雲層中落下，將三叉戟巨蛇的黑影照亮，泛起淡淡的藍光。它的藍色鱗片美麗地反射出彩虹的七種顏色，正焦急地等待着獵物的到來。

"一個精彩的對手來紀念這次成長！你將......成爲我斂財計劃的燃料！"！哇哈哈，哇哈哈...... *咳咳*！吞了一點海水。這裏的水花太可怕了"。

Before the giant enemy, Lyle raised a loud laugh. And when the waves crashed into the boat, and sent ocean water into the air, he swallowed it, and broke into a coughing fit…

在巨大的敵人面前，萊爾發出了爽朗的笑聲。
