Day 371-380/Day 380

Day 380
　As we were close to land, the number of armed ships we saw began to increase around noon.
　In addition to the growing fleet of armed vessels accompanying us, we began to see a few medium-sized vessels that looked like fishing boats.
　Although they can't go as far as the armed ships, the fishermen go out to fish on the armored medium-sized ships.
　This means that land is close by, which means that there is a new continent within reach of medium-sized ships.
　While we excitedly waited for them to arrive, we watched the [fishermen] on the mid-sized ship setting their nets and the fishermen diving into the sea with their harpoons.
　We used a magic item to make a quick catch, but there was no hesitation in their movements, as it was their main business.
　As I looked down at them in a daze, slowly reflecting on my first voyage, which had been both short and long, but in retrospect, it had been a blur, everyone had naturally gathered and we decided to have a small party.
　Once we arrived in the new continent, we had a lot of work to do, such as searching for unknown ingredients and expanding our influence.
　In order to nourish our spirits, we had a small banquet where we were served food prepared by Iiyou and his sisters, and several empty barrels of elfsake and labyrinthine wine were left lying around.
　It's a good idea to have a petite banquet that you can use as a reason to feel good about drinking, and before you know it, your maiden voyage has come to an end.
　【The Ambrashem Parabellum】is anchored slightly offshore from the port city, and Admiral Kuroshachi brings news of its arrival.
　The new continent was indeed there, and we were able to find the bustling city at the mouth of the bay.
　From here, we would have to unload the ship and head for the new continent, but since it was almost dusk, we decided to rest here for the day.
　The petit banquet turned into a regular banquet, and we had a lot of fun drinking and singing.
　We raised our cups in the hope of discovering delicious ingredients that we had not yet encountered in this new continent.
　We poured the demon wine and toasted.

　“三百八十日目”
　陸地が近いだけあって、昼頃には見かける武装船舶の数が増え始めた。
　それは俺達に随行する武装船舶の船団拡大に繋がるのだが、それに加えてチラホラと漁船らしい中型船舶の姿を見つけられるようになった。
　武装船舶ほど遠くまでは行けないが、装甲で補強された中型船舶に乗って漁師は漁に出掛ける。
　それは陸地が近くにあると言う事であり、それはつまり中型船舶で行き来できる距離に新大陸があると言う事だ。
　ワクワクしながら到着するのを待つ間、中型船舶に居る【漁師】持ちだろう人間が網を設置したり、魚人達が銛を持って海に潜っていたりしているのを見学する。
　俺達はマジックアイテムによって手っ取り早く行った漁だが、本業だけあってその動きに迷いがない。
　それをぼんやりと見下ろしながら、短いような長いような、振り返ればあっと言う間だった初航海をゆっくり振りかえっていると、皆が自然と集まってきたので、プチ宴会を行う事にした。
　新大陸に到着すれば、未知なる食材を求めて、勢力図の拡大などやるべき仕事は多い。
　その英気を養うという意味もあってのプチ宴会は飯勇と姉妹さん達の料理が振る舞われ、エルフ酒や迷宮酒などが入った酒樽が幾つも空樽となって転がった。
　何だかんだと気分良く酒を飲む理由にしたプチ宴会をしていると、気がついた頃には初航海は終わりを迎えていた。
　【アンブラッセム・パラベラム号】は港湾都市からやや沖合で停泊し、黒鯱提督が到着の知らせを持ってくる。
　見れば確かに新大陸がそこに在り、賑わいを見せる湾口都市を見つける事が出来た。
　ココから先は船を下ろして新大陸に向かう必要があるのだが、夕暮れに近かった事もあり、今日はココで休む事にした。
　プチ宴会は普通の宴会となり、飲めや歌えの大騒ぎ。
　新大陸という新天地でまだ遭遇していない美味なる食材を発見する事を祈って、俺達は杯を掲げた。
　鬼酒を注いで、乾杯だ。
