In a banquet table.
3 people sitting at each corner of the table, under the shadow.
"Why did he take so long?"
God Beast Behemot.
One of 4 Black Cards. Known as The Jack.
"He's always like this"
Snake God Medusa.
One of 4 Black Cards. Known as The Queen of Poison.
"...."
Sea God Poseidon
One of 4 Black Cards. Known as The King of the Sea.
"Finally you came"
The three Black Card members looked at the person walking toward the empty seat.
"Sorry for the delay, I have some things to take care of"
The God of Death Hades.
One of 4 Black Cards. Known as The Joker.
"Since everyone is here let's start the meeting"

"Wow, it's raining really hard huh"
Everyone's eyes on the ship were on Kobo for a moment.
"Don't daydream! Ignore her! movement your body, we are still in a difficult position, Hey you, hurry up and take cover, it's dangerous there"
Everyone went back to their work, someone still saw Kobo from the boat deck, a woman.
"Hey! You come here! It's dangerous there!"
Looks like she's worried about me, well it can't be helped. I got off the edge of the ship and walked into the middle of the ship which was shaking in the waves.
"Hey, kid! I already warned you it's dangerous here, go inside"
"...."
Extending my hand forward, gathering mana in my hand, with the power of the Water Goddess' blessing I can manipulate water, it can be used to attack or defend.
"(Aegis)"
Water appeared from around Kobo's body, creating a large shield that protected the ship, a giant Water Shield that enveloped the entire ship and kept it safe from storms and remained stable.
"Boss look!"
One of the ship's crew noticed the Barrier magic that Kobo used.
"A Barrier magic? Who... could it be-"
The captain immediately glanced back and saw Kobo sitting on the barrel easily using large-scale Shield magic so easly.
A girl who looked the same age as Kobo ran to her and held Kobo's hand with a happy expression.
"I saw that! I saw your magic! That was amazing! how you do that??"
"Were you the one who used this Barrier magic?"
Kobo just smiled with an innocent face. Made the captain think.
"{A tier 4 mage, no, maybe a tier 5 she uses such great magic easily}"
Muttering, still wondering if the girl in front him was a tier 5 mage. It didn't make sense to reach tier 5 at such a young age, let alone the appearance of Kobo's current body like that of a 14-year-old.
Shield magic is only tiered 3 magic. But the normal size of a barrier depends on how big the user is and the level of the magician, to keep the shield active we have to drain our Mana.
Usually, Magicians who use Barrier like this are tier 4 mages who are on warships, it takes 3-5 tier 4 mages to make a shield like this and keep flowing Mana to keep the Barrier active.
The ship captain Balda kept spinning his mind, even the armor used on the ship didn't need to be drained of Mana, as if the shield would continue to exist according to the user's wishes.
"{I don't know who she is but, she saved us already, I have to show a proper attitude}"
Balda muttered.
"Excuse my attitude earlier, thanks for saving us from the storm, by the way, how did you get here? I don't see any land around here"
"Right, how did you get to this ship? who are you? what's your name? did my father send you?"
Balda and the princess threw some questions at Kobo but Kobo, made a confused face for a while and then just smiled, making Balda and Putri confused.
Do you know why I smile? yes because I don't understand what they are saying!! what language do they speak, ahhhhh embarrassing.
"So Cute..."
Everyone on the ship smiled shyly and said their hearts out loud.
"Alright, alright then my name is Luna. Princess of the kingdom of Lunaria, this is Balda the captain of this ship. We're sailing to the Kingdom of Esterio, to carry out diplomatic relations, so...what's your name??"
While bringing his face closer to Kobo.
"Luna...."
"Not my name, your name...my name is Luna...your name?"
Pointing at Kobo once again.
Ah, so she asked my name.
"K-Kobo Kanaeru...Name"
"Kobo...Kobo! how cute ah!!! ~♡"
The princess who first heard Kobo's soft voice immediately blushed and hugged Kobo with joy.
Ugh stop it, even though we seem to be the same age, how does he have such a huge asset.
"By the way, Miss Kobo, do you have a goal"
I was confused and tilted my head.
"We are... on our way to the...Esterio Kingdom"
Balda spelled words while using body language so that Kobo could understand a little.
I shook my head because I knew he was asking me where I was going.
Is there isn't language translator magic? gezz, I'm like a non-Japanese when I go to Japan and panic because there are no subtitles in Japanese. I guess I have to learn the human language in this world manually.
"It means ... "
"That's right princess it seems she has no purpose-"
"She can go with us!!!"
"eh?"
"If you don't have a goal how about with us! Come with us! please, please, pleasennnn"
Oh, she's so excited. Even though I don't know what she's saying, but i felt like I understand what shs's trying to convey, it seems like she's taking me on their journey if so-
"But our princess, we can't-"
"We can't?"
With an innocent face, Luna asked back, pleading with Balda.
"uhh... Alright, *sigh"
"Yesss, Kobo from now on we are friends!!"
Oi oi oi what are you guys talking about, even they don't seem to ask my opinion and decide on their own?
Meanwhile a few hundred meters from the ship.
"Hehe look at that, it's the Royal Family's Ship, that crest...the Lunaria royal crest"
"But why is there only 1 ship? Usually, royal ships have 2 battleships on their side"
"Are you stupid looking at the sky, they just went through a storm, most likely the 2 battleships that were with them sank because of the storm.
The reason why the only ship of the royal family that survived must be the main ship that has magicians and my guess at the magician has run out of mana so there's no need to be afraid"
"You are a genius Boss, then let's attack, Prepare 3 Ships"
"What 3??? didn't you say their magicians have run out of Mana"
"You idiot, the Lunaria Kingdom is known for having a lot of Graduate Knights, they have 2 Master level people, there's a possibility if one of their Masters is on that ship, quickly prepare"
"O-Okay Captain"
He is the Gram known as the Water Dragon. A spear user who reached the peak of Graduate. Even so, Peak Graduates and Masters were vastly different, as if the Earth and Moon were far apart in power.
The reason a pirate like him was so hard to exterminate was that he had the Spear of Nightmare, one of the stolen National treasures.

"This Ship"
"Ship?"
"Yeah right! try asking me I'll answer it"
I saw 3 Ships coming and pointed
"Then what is that?"
"it's a pirate.... ahh a pirate!!"
Balda and the crew went straight to the ship's deck, and some of the knights who were in the ship started to come out.
"Princess please take shelter in the ship, oh my god, they brought 3 warships...."
