38 – Fishers of Men (3)

Simon’s boat has reached the place I told you about.

I secretly took out an artifact from the subspace while keeping an eye on Iako next to me.

‘Poseidon’s Fork’. An artifact that can partially control the flow of water.

It is impossible to change the flow of water greatly, but even a small flow is very helpful for swimming.

So, I usually carry it with me in case I need to go swimming. Maneuvering large currents of water is impossible, but guiding fish into a net is a piece of cake.

He strengthened his eyes with magic and checked the bottom of the sea.

Then, secretly using a fork, he controlled the flow of water around the fish he identified and guided it under Simon’s boat.

Then Simon’s boat tilted and tipped over, unable to handle the weight of the huge amount of fish.

Uh…… Did you throw in too much fish?

It looks like the net is tearing.

Wow. You can’t do that.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“… Yes? Kyaaak!”

She placed her arm around Iaco’s waist, who was next to her, and used her Blink to move with her onto Simon’s boat.

“Oh, how can a fish do this! I haven’t caught a single one all night!”

“The net is tearing! Everyone hold tight!”

On the arriving boat, Simon and his colleagues are confused by the catch of fish.

“You look confused.”

“Oh, noble one? Uh, how on a boat!”

“Iaco. If you use your abilities, you will be able to keep the net intact and lift it.”

Iako’s gift is a power similar to telekinesis. It is the perfect power to overcome the current situation.

“Uh, how can I… ! Ha, but my strength is weak. I can’t even control it well. On my own, this…….”

Ah, now that I think about it, was the Iako in my head the one who grew up after entering the academy? She doesn’t seem to be able to control her abilities very well now.

“… Uh?”

She stood behind her and hugged her and supported her arms.

“Do not doubt. You can do it.”

“Ha, ha, ha ha…… !”

I breathed her magical energy into her body.

For some reason, her heart was beating strangely fast. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I’ve seen so many fish that the boat tilted.

It seems that this overexcited state prevents her from using her abilities properly. It would be possible if she stabilized her mind and body with her magical power.

“Keep calm. Believe in your ability and in me.”

“Sigh… !”

Using her telekinesis, Iaco lifted the entire net and brought it aboard the ship.

A wonderful sight with that huge net and the fishes in it floating in the air.

Yes.

This is the Iakoji I know.

* * *

After turning her boat around and back to her wharf, Iako released her psychic powers and set down a net full of fish on the wharf.

You don’t have to hold Iaco all the time now.

She undid what was wrapped around her body and fell.

“Ah… ….”

I think I heard a voice that seemed to be regretting something…… Maybe it’s because they misunderstood that their abilities became stronger because of me?

We’ve just met, so there’s no reason to feel sorry for leaving my arms.

Well, anyway, now we have to embrace the siblings Simon and Iaco.

To be honest, there was an unexpected situation earlier when I unintentionally took Iako on the boat because I was in a hurry, but it’s okay.

It wouldn’t have seemed strange.

Wouldn’t it be better? It seemed like Iako’s abilities helped her grow.

Now, you’ve shown such an excellent figure.

How are you? Wouldn’t you want to go with me if I asked you to follow me?

Kung

“Sorry, noble one!”

I want to propose to Simon, so I turn around to look at him, and he suddenly falls to his knees in front of me.

…… Huh?

“I am a sinner!”

No what. Why. What?

“I treat you with an ordinary aristocrat. That’s why I thought they were on the same level as the filthy nobles I’ve seen!”

Ordinary aristocrat?

Ah. I know what you’re talking about.

Since the world of [Deus Ex Machina] Is a fantasy world with the motif of the Middle Ages on the real earth, it has a similar status system.

And within that firm caste system, aristocrats regard commoners as if they were their possessions, so it is not uncommon for them to bring a woman they like to pass by and commit crimes.

Simon and Iaco were also victims.

Perhaps their mother was murdered by a nobleman.

Simon’s family lived peacefully in a territory of the Nova Empire.

Simon’s mother goes out to the marketplace alone and catches the eye of a nobleman.

Her disgrace makes her an extreme choice, and Simon’s father, Sebaedae, who is enraged by this, surprisingly succeeds in killing the nobleman with a body that is only a commoner.

However, it is impossible to live a normal life as a commoner unless you kill a nobleman.

Sebaedae was able to escape the Nova Empire and escape to the Galilee territory, evading numerous pursuits with Simon and Iaco.

Simon’s family, freed from all touch of the Nova Empire, was supposed to find peace again, but three generations suffered from the loss of the woman she loved and died.

And the only two left are Simon and Iaco.

Simon struggled alone to feed Iaco.

Simon, a character with a similar story to Lydia in many ways.

With this kind of background, nobility can’t look good on Simon.

Perhaps just by looking at me, he could tell that he was a nobleman, so Simon must have thought that I would be just as bad as the other nobles.

“I misunderstood that you meant to cast the net again to take Iako away from me!”

Ah…… You might have thought so.

Come to think of it, it’s suspicious enough.

I was sent to catch fish again out of the blue.

“There, when he appeared on her stomach with Iako and held her Iako, I thought he was trying to satisfy her ugly desire!”

Ah…… It’s worth thinking about that too.

Suddenly hugging Iako from behind… She deserves to be thought strange.

She hardly thought of that, but…. Of course, it wasn’t completely absent.

“That’s why I thought to myself whether I should strike the head of a noble person.”

No, that’s a bit harsh.

Simon’s ability is rapid. You can block it if you want to block it, but it’s a tricky ability to deal with subtly. It might have been dangerous if he had really tried to hit me on the head with all his might.

“But now I know. I’ve been thinking it was weird! The Noble One wanted to help us from beginning to end!”

Uh…… No, to be precise, I was thinking of showing my competence and embracing you, but wouldn’t it be nice if you thought of it that way?

“The Noble One… No, the Great One took pity on me for wasting all night and gave me meat, and took pity on my younger brother who couldn’t use his powers and improved his strength. And yet I…… !”

…… Huh? Who is great?

Noble person is a word used to address nobles. But the great one…… It’s usually used for emperors or dragons.

“Ah. Please punish me! I couldn’t recognize even the great One, and I ended up thinking of it with human standards!”

Hey, this can’t be…….

“But I did something wrong, so please punish me! My brother did nothing wrong!”

There is such a legend.

When dragons leave play in human form, they appear in front of humans to do good deeds and test humans. People with good hearts are given greater gifts, but those with evil hearts are punished.

Could this guy think of me as a dragon?

Control Fish, Blink, Boost Abilities.

Can you be mistaken for a dragon?

In addition, I used an old-fashioned way of speaking.

At first, I didn’t know it was Simon, so I thought he was an ordinary fisherman, so he used that tone.

If you change your tone now, you’ll think it’s strange, so I can’t change it.

No. It might be better

Pretend to be a dragon.

Then it wouldn’t be easier to recruit.

And tell Simon to hide my identity.

Originally, dragons hid their identities and go about playing.

Then you won’t get caught up in strange things when you recruit others.

Can’t you just say that you can’t show off your power as a dragon?

“Simon.”

“Yes! Speak!”

“Don’t be afraid. I have no intention of punishing you.”

“…… Yes?”

“I will go on a journey in the future. Follow me. You too Your brother, Iaco, too.”

“… Uh, that’s…….”

“My, I will make you fishers of people, not fishers of fish.”

Although I will have to lie about my identity to my colleagues from now on.

It’s not a life of fishing in a small village like this.

A life that saves the world from ‘chaos’.

I’ll create a life where everyone can become a hero.

“Yes…… I will follow master.”

Simon dropped the net.

“Yes…. I will follow.”

Iako also followed me, blushing.

But why is your face red?

As expected, did you like the powerful telekinetic power you are using for the first time?
