With the [Alchemy Box], Create, Enchant and Dominate! With a Box That Can Create Anything, Begin Building a New Life on a Deserted Island - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Departure

Ain: “Oh～ So you have a [Blessing] that allows you to clearly perceive if a Dungeon Core is created or destroyed?” Royce: “Yeah. So well, to be frank, it’s a trash ability!”

The Mage, Royce, declared it with his chest puffed out.

There’s a lot of different kinds of [Blessings] in this world.

So this [Blessing] was able to perceive when a dead Dungeon revived.

I see now. That’s why they were able to pick up on the Dungeon resurrecting.

As we headed to the shores, we spoke about that and many other things.

Yesterday, we spent the entire day rebuilding the inn, and then introduced the people who will be taking care of Boss and his group for a while.

They were the sailors, the Knight, and the Mages. We worked hard to rebuild the inn so that they have a place to eat and sleep.

Sia: “Bossー”

Ain: “…….I guess he won’t even see us off…….I hope he’ll be in a better mood by the time we’re done with our job and return home.”

We’ll be away from the island for a while.

When I said so, all the Sheepoos said that they were going with me.

I’m happy for their loyalty butーー though they’re soft and super fluffy, in the end, they’re Monsters.

Even if they have some history of being domesticated, those are Sheepoos on ranches.

If a Sheepoo was wandering around in a random area and was discovered by an Adventurer, they would be killed.

The Dungeon the Prince wanted to revive will take at least 10 days on a horse.

Then I can’t have them follow me regardless.

Ain: “If you’re worried about Boss, you can stay behind too, Sia. Once the Dungeon is revived, I’ll come back as soon as the paperwork for my refugee status and the island’s right is squared away.”

Sia: “Noー”

And Sia pouted childishly and grabbed hold of me.

When she raised her head to look at me, both her cheeks were puffed out, so she was quite upset with me.

Royce: “If she’s that attached to you, why not take her with you? It will be okay. The Dungeon is dead, and there’s going to be no Monsters inside.”

Ain: “Well, I’m not really worried about that.”

I’ve already seen for myself that a dead Dungeon contains no Monsters. But as soon as the Core is fixed, the Dungeon Boss will appear, but I’m not worried about that either.

What I’m worried about is the Sheepoos.

There might be others who realize that the Dungeon is active again.

I don’t care if they’re going to just come and die inside the Dungeon, but it’ll be more troublesome if they start wrecking the island itself.

So, until my return and an Adventurer’s Guild Office is made, the Prince’s direct Knights and Mages will reside here.

I have requested that they look after the Sheepoos too but……

I will just have to pray that no one gets hurt before I return.

On the eastward shores, near the small bridge, Prince Eriol’s ship was docked there.

As soon as we board the ship, it begins to move.

I look towards the direction where the abandoned town lays and think about Boss and his crew.

Ain: “I asked Agura to take care of the Carrot Greenhouse, but…….will it be okayー?”

Sia: “GRRrrr. No carrot, Boss mad.”

Ain: “He’ll probably lead a revolt.”

Sia: “Eeeeek…..”

The ship departed and began drifting away from the beach. The farther we go, the deeper the longing and sadness becomes.

I wish they would have at least come to see me off.

When I return to the island, I’ll make sure to bring other kinds of carrot seeds for them.

I’ll remodel the Sheepoos’ cottage and put a lot of soft hay down.

I need to think about Sheena’s child’s name too.

As I thought about these thingsーー

[BEHHHHーー]

My attention is drawn back to the shores where I heard the voice come from, and I see the Sheepoos running on the sandy shores!

Boris is running with them, and Sheena too?!

Ain: “YーYou guys….”

[BEH. BEHーー]

Sia: “BOSSーー! UーK! Boss say he’ll go too!”

Ain: “Ugh, you idiot! What about Sheena who’s pregnant?!”

[BEHー BEH, BEH-BEHー]

Sia: “Sheena say she okay.” But even so, I can’t just…

[PEHHー PEH-PEHhhhh]

Boris was crying hysterically and jumped into the ocean!!

Ain: “IーIdiot! Turn back!!”

[PEH, PEH-PEH-PEH-PEHー]

AHHHHH!! THEY WON’T MAKE IT!!

AGHH! AAAAGHHHHH!!

Ain: “CAPTAINーー!! PLEASE! WE HAVE TO TURN BACK! RIGHT NOW!!”

[UHPEH. UNPEH]

Ain: “HEYー!! BORIS!!”

Boris’ voice suddenly cut off, and in terror, I immediately snap my head back towards his direction. Borisーーand Boss who was carrying him were drowning.

Ain: “AAHHHHHHH!! BOSSSSSーーー I’M COMING!! HANG ONーー!!!”

I jumped into the water without a second thought.

It occurred to me then.

This was the seas in the smack dab middle of winter.
