Book 5: Chapter 49
Even though the ecology of jellyfish is not completely known even back on Earth, I can rely on【World Ruler】about the ecology of animals in this world.
Cutting off the tentacles didn’t have a significant impact on the jellyfish, but I found that poison was effective, so I went with that strategy.
The dying jellyfish seemed like it was dissolving in seawater. The poison flowed out into the sea.
Although it was extremely poisonous, the amount was not as large as expected – rather, I was impressed that this amount was enough to kill Umibozu, and at the same time I was afraid of Mimino-san. After Umibozu died, the poison diffused into the vast ocean and became less potent. At that point, it will not be a threat to any of the marine life.
「—Bocchan!」
Zerry-san pulled my body which was drained of strength due to the lack of mana. I feel angry to say this myself, but as a skilled adventurer, Zerry-san has strong arms which made me feel relieved in her care – but feeling relieved makes me want to sleep, so I kept a firm grip on my consciousness.
Although it was late summer, the rays from the sun were glaring, burning my eyes.
「You’re always so rash and unreasonable… Make sure to grab onto me firmly.」
Zerry-san said while swimming back to the ship. Just as she self-claimed, she was quite skilled at breaststroke swimming, while I held onto her back.
