The Water Magician

Chapter 841: What I Want 🍀

Published: July 5, 2025

Ryo and Abel, along with the party from the Naitorei Kingdom, boarded the Skizblaznil Vessel, heading away from the dark continent towards the Western Nations, accompanied by the Fundebie Kingdom's army led by Pope Graham.

Originally, the party from the kingdom was also en route to the Western Nations.

However, they encountered a storm that caused their ship to drift, eventually arriving at the dark continent.

From there, they transitioned haphazardly, moving from the east to the west of the dark continent, and further from the north to the south...

"It will take nearly twenty days, right?"

"Yes. It seems that given the wind and current, that’s about how long it will take."

Abel nodded in response to Ryo's confirmation.

Abel had been gazing towards the dark continent from the deck for well over enough time.

And then, he murmured with conviction.

"Eventually, we will have to return to the dark continent."

"Is that so?"

"There will be a need to visit the eastern provinces along the northern coast and the Western Nations Federation, right? Acquiring mitriro ore can wait until then."

"Certainly. So, we will embark on another expedition to the central dark continent at that time?"

"Huh?"

"The Naitorei Kingdom will occupy it and declare it as territory. That will be the first step towards world domination for King Abel. How terrifying."

"Of course not!"

The image of a close aide enticing the king was clear.

"To save the people suffering under tyranny in neighboring countries, a wise king of a neighboring nation will defeat the tyrant... Isn't that a common story?"

"That sort of thing is just a story. It’s from a book. If it were to happen in reality, it would be a big deal."

"After conquering the entire world, Abel would whisper while crying, saying it was necessary to bring peace to the people."

"...Huh?"

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'm on Abel's side."

"...It's for the cake privileges, isn't it?"

"Naturally. Sweets are justice! Cake increases allies."

For some reason, Ryo nodded gravely.

What he was saying was sweet and light-hearted, though.

"But I think,"

"Yeah?"

"What is the mission that Abel was given from the heavens?"

"...Huh?"

Today marked yet another instance of "Huh?"

Among them, this was the highest tier of "Huh?"

"Someone like Abel is surely given a mission from the heavens."

"Is that so?"

"Of course. Ah, it goes without saying, but excluding the part about giving me cake. That’s one part of the mission that's clearly defined."

"First off, I think that part isn’t clearly defined."

Abel shook his head slightly.

Ignoring Abel's claim, Ryo continued speaking.

"The most likely mission given to Abel is to conquer the world and become a conqueror."

"Yeah, I want to hear Ryo's reasoning for 'most likely'..."

Abel shook his head slightly.

"Just like with mitriro ore, we have several unresolved issues."

"Unresolved issues?"

"The acquisition of mitriro ore, the eerie pointed mountain, the vampire duke, the being that called out to only me and Abel in a voice we could hear, and the confirmation of crepes in the southern region."

"That’s quite a few. But what’s the last one? Crepes?"

"According to Mini from the third defense squad who protected me, there have been crepes as sweets in the southern dark continent since long ago."

"Crepes, like those sold sometimes in Run or the royal capital, wrapped with cream and banana in a thin batter..."

"That’s it!"

Ryo pointed sharply at Abel's answer.

"Those are indeed delicious."

"Right? Furthermore, the ones in the south are said to have chocolate, a chocolate banana cream, which is a classic combination."

"Chocolate?"

"Yes. For some reason, they don't exist in the Central Nations... yet for some reason, they have the name 'chocolat'."

"Chocolat? There are places like Café de Chocolat, right? Is that chocolat a food name?"

"That’s correct. Rather, I want to ask Abel. What did you think that word 'chocolat' meant?"

"No matter how you put it... I thought it was some kind of color, like a black hue."
