Reincarnated Into A Dead Woman's Body In Another World

Within sight was the form of the massive slime-woman. Though still far, her form had grown to a much greater extent from when they last saw her. Jotou walked forward to the bow of the ship.

The helmsman slowed down the engines; the ship’s plume of black smoke was no longer blasted back and was allowed to rise into the air from the top.

Rain no longer cascaded, for in fact it ascended. Droplets of water defied gravity as they floated upwards and joined thin swirling streams of water up in the sky.

Each string-width stream of water circled in a large arc, in what can only be assumed in the direction of the one causing all of it. A storm did not rage where Beauregard walked, only in her wake.

Any cloud was drained out of the sky to join the streams. Once a droplet lingered for long enough on its path, it began to shimmer the same hue as each line as well—a dark ocean blue.

Hotaru joined by the blonde’s side to stare at the sight, alongside Fumeko and Tiffany. Rays of sunlight beamed down to scatter across the sea’s surface, making it glitter.

Now they saw why the ship had to slow down, as the helmsman steered the ship clear of the funnel of a sinking vessel. The waterlogged flag floated on the surface—one of red and white stripes with a blue circle surrounding a black X-shape in the middle.

Around them, the waters had settled and simply shifted as the sea was wont to do. Dozens of warships were capsized, halfway sunken and still sinking; one could only imagine how many were already under the water’s surface.

The Sun rose from the front of Beauregard and up ahead was what could only be called a graveyard of sinking ships. The numbers must have been in the hundreds— most likely approaching a thousand.

Light glimmered the streams of ocean blue water that swirled in the air, all the way up into the sky; they formed wide rings around Beauregard as if she were a planet.

With the majority of the storm and the ship’s engine roaring behind the four of them, only sombre silence lied forward. Even with every risk taken and at their fastest time, the damage had already begun. ’Both not yet done.’
