Demon King Priest

In the early morning of the next day, Ulysses took Lapis to the deck for a walk, which has become a thing he must do every morning. Although it was still cold on the deck in the morning, Lapis was not Cherie. As a semi-physical being, she would not be afraid of low temperatures. But unlike usual, Lapis reported one thing to him.

"Are you saying that something has been lingering around the ship recently? Lapis." Ulysses looked at the silver-haired girl in surprise.

"Yes, the magic detection system did detect something following the ship. But the illusion system did not respond. It seemed that it was not acting like a creature. However, this thing does not seem to have an intention to attack, so it may also be something wrong with the magic detection system." Lapis said calmly, without any expression on her snow-white face.

"Oh. It isn't a creature... then what could it be? Inanimate things should not be able to move freely. It's strange." Ulysses frowned and began to think about the various possibilities.

Lapis didn't speak, just staying beside Ulysses quietly and watching him. At this time the sun had begun to rise above the sea level in the distance, and the soft sunlight began to sprinkle on the wide deck of the Ulysses, and it also shone on her dazzling silver hair, making the beautiful silver hair more beautiful.

"Ah, Ulysses, good morning! Eeep, Lapis is there too? Are you guys taking a walk together? How could you forget us? You should have called us too." Rasputin yawned and walked onto the deck. Behind her was Cherie, who was still feeling very sleepy.

"Big Brother, good morning, Lapis, good morning." After rubbing her eyes, Cherie greeted the two of them.

"Ah! What's that over there! It's a small island?!" Suddenly, Rasputin yelled and pointed her finger to the front of the Ulysses.

Hearing Rasputin's shout, Ulysses and Cherie unanimously looked in the direction she was pointing.

Indeed, about ten kilometers in front of the ship, there was the shadow of a small island. There seemed to be many trees on the island, and when seen from afar, it was full of charming greenery, which made them very excited after sailing at sea for many days. After all, people would get tired after seeing the sea every day. Now that they suddenly saw the long-lost green, it was really refreshing.

But what made Ulysses feel a little strange was that this island was not too far away from them, but he didn't see it earlier. But then he thought about it again. He had been thinking about the weird thing Lapis said, so probably because he had been distracted that he didn't notice the small island in front of the ship.

"Hey! Ulysses, how about we go to that island for a day's rest? It's boring to stay on the ship all the time." Rasputin said excitedly.

"This… Are you sure? We are trying to get back to the continent. If we stop at this unknown island..." Ulysses said hesitantly.

"It's just a rest. The food on the ship should also be replaced with fresh ones, especially fruits. There is not much left at all. If this goes on, your Lulu will not have enough food to eat." Rasputin said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lulu... Indeed, the fruit seems to be not enough. Then let's go to that island to find enough fruit and come back." Thinking of the lively pink rabbit, Ulysses' mouth showed a smile. In addition, he was a little tired of staying on the ship himself, so he finally agreed to Rasputin's proposal.

"Lapis, can you drive the ship to the vicinity of the island? We need to get some fresh food, and have a day's rest. You can also come with us." After the decision was made, Ulysses began to ask Lapis for his opinion.

"Yes, creator. Lapis will adjust the route of the Ulysses, I hope you will have a fun time on that island." Lapis nodded, and then flew to the control room.

"Yeah! Cherie also wants to walk on land and smell the fragrance of flowers. Let's get Helen too." Cherie was also excited when Lapis agreed to go to the island.

"Mhm, Ulysses, let's go to catch some delicious prey and have a banquet!" Rasputin also smiled.

"Rasputin, are you thinking about drinking again..." Ulysses looked at Rasputin who was smirking suspiciously.

"Of course... it's absolutely impossible. Haha, I'll go to inform the other people on the ship first, and see you later." Rasputin said hurriedly and ran into the cabin like a gust of wind.

"Big Brother, Cherie is also going to get prepared, bye." After waving to Ulysses, Cherie ran into the cabin happily behind Rasputin.

‘It seems that they are really happy. It's okay to have a banquet this evening, but it's better to let Rasputin drink less wine.' Watching the two disappear on the deck, Ulysses smiled and walked to his room.

At this time, Lapis in the control room sent a spiritual wave to Aya who was holding the apostle meeting in Arcelia's room.

"So, the policy after returning to the continent is..." After receiving Lapis's spiritual wave, Aya stopped her speech all of sudden.

"What's the matter? Aya?" Arcelia, who was listening to Aya, looked at her strangely, not knowing what had happened.

"It's nothing, just a small island appeared in front of the ship. Rasputin and Cherie want to take a rest on that island. Master seemed to agree to it. What do you think of Arcelia?" Aya quickly returned to normal, explaining why she stopped all of sudden.

"I'm fine with it. Let them go if they want to take a rest. But I will stay, in case something happens to the ship. Didn't you say that something seems to be following this ship lately?" Arcelia said calmly, there was not a trace of waves in the holy green eyes.

"Indeed, it has been giving me a headache recently. Something can break through the Ulysses's illusion system, maybe it is very troublesome. But I don't have the feeling of a strong enemy, and I shouldn't be dangerous." Aya frowned, and it seemed that she was a little undecided.

"No matter what. I will stay on this ship. I'm not that young to hang out with other girls anymore. As for you and Helen, you can join them. You can leave the safety of this Ulysses to me. Guarding has always been the responsibility of a knight." Arcelia smiled and looked at Aya and Helen.

"As for this matter… Ah, master is coming. Let me hide first." After speaking, Aya turned into a bracelet and hid it in the corner of Arcelia's bed.

"Bang! Bang!" A few seconds after Aya turned into a bracelet, Ulysses knocked on the door,

"Arcelia, are you there?"

...

The vast sky, the white clouds flowing with the wind, the endless blue ocean, the soft yellow sandy beach, the breeze that made people feel very refreshed, and the girls who were laughing and chasing each other. This was the beauty that Ulysses saw and felt while resting under a coconut tree.

Helen and Cherie were laughing and chasing in front of Ulysses. The two of them were playing the chasing game as happily as they were on a deserted island. However, Helen's running speed was much faster than before, and Cherie rarely could catch her a few times. But even so, the two still had a good time. Seeing Cherie, who couldn't catch up with Helen, Ulysses thought of something in a daze, and there seemed to be something coming out of his memory.

With a "pop!" Lulu, the little rabbit, jumped on his chest and moved restlessly, as if it was a little dissatisfied with the master just looking at girls.

"Sorry. Lulu, have you finished eating the bananas?" Ulysses sat up, took the restless little rabbit in his arms, and began to gently stroke its long fur. And Lulu was lying quietly in Ulysses' arms as usual, closing her red eyes and enjoying his gentle stroke.

"The world is really peaceful!" Feeling the warm body of Lulu in his arms, Ulysses let out a heartfelt sigh as he watched the girls chasing each other excitedly in front of him.

"Hey Hey hey! Chance, a great once-in-a-lifetime chance! This ship stopped unexpectedly, and even the additional defensive magic seemed to temporarily stop operating. It seemed that they thought there would be no magic beasts attacking them on the shore. I have to tell Johnny right away!" Mina, who had been riding a white dolphin and following behind Ulysses, laughed under the sea several hundred meters away. Then she patted the white dolphin under her body and said excitedly,

"Go! Mr. Dolphin, today this luxurious ship will belong to our Dark Skull."

Hearing Mina's order, the white dolphin under her also let out a happy cry of "Ji", and then swam away in the direction where Mina came from at a speed that was much faster than ordinary dolphins.......................................................................................
