I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter

81 – Chapter 29. Spirit and Sea – 2

– 82 –

When I opened my eyes, it was dark around me.

I was idly in the dark room, then approached the window and pulled the curtains to see the sea and sky painted in the color of night.

It was dark, but not pure black, but a bluish light.

The other areas I’ve been to so far have been dark with no distinction between day and night.

In the dark, I fumbled against the wall, turned on the light, and looked at my body, but there was a bandage wrapped around my waist to see who did it.

When the bandage soaked in blood was removed, the wound was almost healed.

And fortunately, there were no traces of the burn.

“Whew.”

This place that shakes little by little is probably not Bartier’s battleship.

I passed out before landing, but I recovered well and received treatment.

I don’t think it’s time to move my body comfortably yet, so I cut off the intact part of the bandage and rewound it, then lay down on the bed.

The body was so drowsy that even the hard mattress felt comfortable.

That’s why, within a few seconds, he fell like fainting.

“Haam”

When I woke up again, a bright light was coming in through the window with the curtains removed.

I’ve never seen the sun in the spirit world, but it’s strange that day and night can be clearly distinguished.

Let’s visit Bartiers first.

I can’t remember what Bartiers looked like, but he must have a human appearance like me.

It shouldn’t be difficult to find out.

Now that you’ve had enough rest, it’s time to get back to work.

When I opened the door and went out into the hallway, the lesser water spirits were busy roaming around.

There were also some intermediate water spirits in white clothes and navy suits with blue points.

Intermediate Water Spirits had the appearance of a girl with transparent blue skin with various animal ears.

I used to only look at sparrows and lizards every day, but when I saw cute girls, I opened my mouth and looked around.

No, think about it.

Girls with animal ears.

Whether I was a man in the past or a girl now, it was close to my instinct to find them cute, so I couldn’t help it.

The girls, who are on the short side, only about the size of my chest, went up and down the hallway chatting with the lesser spirits.

Some of the dogs recognized me and saluted me, but I was a little embarrassed because they seemed embarrassed to stare blankly at them.

While walking along the hallway, a bright-looking intermediate water spirit approached and talked to me.

For reference, it was rabbit ears.

“General Misfire. You woke up. What’s going on with our boat?”

“Uh, hello? I mean……. I’m here to drive out the demons in this area.”

At my words, the intermediate water spirit clapped and jumped in place.

“Wow, really? You are here as a support force!”

Intermediate I twitched my mouth at the cute behavior of the water spirit, but I finally came to my senses and delivered the task.

“Yes. Right. So, will you take me here to Captain Bartiers?”

I thought that if you called Bartiers’ name, he would guide you right away, but when he heard his name, the intermediate water spirit tilted his head.

“Captain? It’s been a long time since we didn’t have a captain on our ship.”

“What?”

That’s ridiculous.

The guy who communicated before landing called me ‘Fire’ in a friendly way.

If it wasn’t for Bar Tiers, he wouldn’t call it that way.

Is it hallucinations or ghosts?

I suddenly got goosebumps.

Rather than thinking about the ridiculous concept of a humanoid spirit ghost, it seemed better to ask the intermediate water spirit about this and that.

“Since when have you been here?”

“Currently, it is the 1,031 day of arbitrary operation.”

“A random operation?”

When questioning an unfamiliar word, the intermediate water spirit began to explain with a sad expression.

“During the Shinma War, the captain was using his ‘powers’ and then fell into a trap by demons and then disappeared. After that we all fell asleep. Then one day, when I woke up, I came back to the spirit world and was wandering this sea. Since then, the captain has not been there, but the operation comes down every day, and I call it ‘arbitrary operation’ and carry it out.”

“Operation is coming down? Where?”

This place was cut off from the other spirit realms, and even on a small amount of land, demons were roaming freely.

It was absurd to receive supplies or operations through there.

Are there any supplies or orders coming to the sea?

However, it seemed almost impossible to find the location of a ship floating on this vast sea every day from the outside and order an appropriate operation.

Whether you know these doubts or not, the intermediate water spirit smiled innocently and took my hand and led it.

“Follow me.”

The cool feeling in the hand was pleasant.

Intermediate Following the spirit of water, I walked down the hallway and went down the stairs to see the destination.

It was a place where the rooms on both sides were ripped out in the middle of the hallway to make it look like a large lounge.

The table was fixed firmly on the floor, and the spirits sitting on the chairs were each eating food or replenishing their magical power through mana stones.

There was a large bulletin board on one wall, and dozens of spirits had gathered in front of it.

“Today is a beach cleanup!”

“The demons were roaming near the forest. We need to find the place where General Misfire was attacked by demons and bombard it.”

“Prepare the reconnaissance unit quickly!”

The atmosphere was cluttered like a market.

Seeing my name mentioned here and there, it seems that everyone already knows that I am here.

“Ah, General. Hello.”

“Yes. Nice to meet you all.”

I returned to the spirits who recognized me and gave me greetings and salutes, and I mixed among them and looked at the bulletin board slowly.

“Caught demon activity near the forest. Organize it by bombardment – bombardment coordinates: 417,192 nearby]

『Change Host: Sofia (Human) → Misfire (Human Spirit)』

「Misfire Career Recruitment」

“What is a host?”

Looking at the fact that she used to be Sophia and changed to me, it seemed like she was referring to the person who first entered the spirit world with a mark of a demon.

If the role was changed to me, it was said that Sophia could get out of here.

Once I came here, one of my goals was accomplished.

“There. Do you know who Sophia is?”

“Of course. Until recently, I was the ‘host’ of this district.”

“What is that host?”

I can only guess, but it would be better to listen for sure.

“Well. Did you know that demons are invading the spirit realm to use it as a bridgehead to invade the physical realm?”

“You know that.”

“When demons sprinkle the demon demon’s token on the physical world and open a portal here, it becomes a space cut off from the outside world.”

“I know that too.”

I remember hearing an explanation from Sila before.

It is said that Sila used some of her abilities to change the direction of the break, leading to a level where time in her space almost stopped.

“And it is said that those who invaded by absorbing the bad energy in the physical world became stronger.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

The mark of a demon is doing that.

She nodded at her newfound knowledge and asked where she got this advanced information.

Intermediate Water Spirit tilted his head and put his finger on his head.

“Well? When we woke up from our sleep, we found out naturally…….”

As if he had never questioned that, the intermediate water spirit looked a little confused.

“You may wake up and discover unknown knowledge.”

Me too.

To be precise, all of my original memories have been blown away.

“So what is the role of the host?”

“Ah, the host can only be used by a person in the physical world by touching the token of a demon, but it inhibits the ability to absorb power from the outside. And with her own powers, she can help the spirits defending the area.”

Here, it is said that people include not only humans, but also all kinds of intelligent beings, such as dwarves, elves, humanoid spirits, and even demons from the physical world.

Of course, there’s no way the demons can help purify the demon’s mark.

“How was Sophia?”

Intermediate Water Spirit answered with a bright expression.

“He made delicious food.”

“Again?”

“They said we were cute.”

“And?”

“He petted me because I thought of my daughters.”

Of course, the intermediate water spirits were cute, but that wasn’t the answer I wanted.

I couldn’t help but ask the direct part.

“That, the combat part?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

She clapped once as if she had suddenly remembered and walked towards the bulletin board.

He looked at her bunny ears and followed after her, proudly spreading her arms out.

“I made this bulletin board, received ‘order’ and wrote it down every day.”

It was Sophia who made this bulletin board.

How was it possible to have such a command system for only one month?

Time flow with the material world may be different as in Sila’s case.

“Since when have you been here?”

“It was probably close to a year. Right?”

“That’s right. Because you came around 700 days before the operation day.”

An intermediate water spirit with cat ears next to her answered.

With slightly sharp eyes, she nodded at me and left.

Mr. Sophia said that it had only been a month since she contacted the token, so the time difference with the physical world seems to be more than 10 times.

“Do you know where Sophia is?”

Intermediate Water Spirit shook his head left and right.

“You haven’t been here since last night. The host has also changed, so I think I’m back in the material world.”

Even though a long-time acquaintance suddenly left, the mid-level water spirit’s expression was bright.

Is it because it’s a spirit?

“Then who wrote this post?”

“Huh? Iknow, right… ….”

The mid-level water spirit showed a bewildered look at the words thrown without much thought.

She asked the spirits around her about this and that, and she came to a rather absurd conclusion.

“Yesterday’s order was attached until this morning, but at some point it was updated to today’s. No one knows who wrote it and pasted it.”

To her words, the intermediate earth spirit sitting in her corner answered.

“That’s right. I’ve been here since the dawn of yesterday until now, but all of a sudden, as if I had used magic, it changed in one fell swoop, right?”

His words were not convincing as he had a glass of beer in his hand and his face flushed red.

After a light sigh, as we were looking for other witnesses, we saw a lesser wind spirit staring at us with strange eyes in the corner.

Because the owner of this ship is the owner, considering that it is mostly composed of water and earth spirits, it is a low-level, but it was strange to have a wind spirit.

After she asked the Intermediate Water Spirit for forgiveness, she approached the Spirit alone.

“Hello, General Misfire.”

“Hello. Maybe you… ….”

“Shh. This way for a while.”

Pointing to a sparsely populated hallway, he flew lightly and stood with his back to one wall.

“I will introduce you formally. This is Baram 17728 belonging to the Central Transport Department. I came here for transportation, but I couldn’t go back, so I was left behind.”

“Nice to meet you. I am Erif. I used to be called Misfire, but now call me Erif.”

“I see. Erif.”

Wind 17728 looked around and whispered.

“Bartier appeared suddenly yesterday.”

“What? Yesterday?”

Is that possible?

It wasn’t Bartiers who suddenly appeared yesterday, but me.

The wind spirit looked at my expression and nodded her head as if she knew it.

“To be precise, right after Erif-sama came here yesterday, she suddenly appeared next to Sophia-sama, who was checking her condition, as if she was there.”

“What does that mean?”

The Wind Spirit made a more absurd sound instead of answering my question.

“And the spirits of water and earth around him did not recognize him at all.”

“What?”

The more you talk, the more questions you have.

The wind spirit looked at the spirits gathered in the break room and spoke quietly.

“Maybe this has something to do with Erif-sama.”

“Well.”

It was an absurd story, but there was no reason for the lesser spirit to lie to me.

The easiest way to determine the authenticity is to ask the person directly.

“So, you mean Bartiers is here?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Then can you guide me?”

The wind spirit nodded slightly, and I returned to the break room and approached the intermediate water spirit who was guiding me.

“Thanks for the guide. Now I want to go slowly.”

“Really? There are still many places to guide you…….”

“Okay. I’ll take a quick look.”

The mid-level water spirit sent me off with a sad expression, and I immediately joined the low-level wind spirit.

“Let’s go to where Bartiers is.”

“I see. Follow me.”

The lesser wind spirit passed the break room and went deeper.

After passing a couple of rooms, I saw a large room with a nameplate on it.

「Captain’s Office」

“Because I’m the captain, it’s natural to be in the captain’s room… ….”

The spirits of water and earth say they have never seen Bartiers since they came here.

A command that comes down every day.

Bartiers began to be seen by the wind spirits since yesterday, when I fell down here.

The bulletin board was updated in an instant after Sophia passed away.

And the ship is slowly getting hungry.

Everything except the last one hinted at a possibility.

Holding half of excitement and anticipation, I grabbed the doorknob.

You should knock before that.

Trick

After knocking, I waited for a while, but there was no answer.

When I slowly opened the door and entered, I saw a neat room.

And the large back-facing chair was covered with a navy blue cord, so it was impossible to tell who was sitting or if it was empty.

The lesser wind spirit decided to remain in the hallway, and I entered the captain’s room and closed the door.

“Bartiers?”

Rump

Suddenly the chair moved.

In the chair that slowly turns this way,

“Ah, is the fire here?”

Bartiers was sitting with a cookie in his mouth.
