Ira was right yesterday. The date for the first official trade has been set, Cassie has determined the price of the goods they want, and the Demon King's territory has also given its requirements.

It seems that both sides have negotiated a price that satisfies the other.

And this is the foundation of trade... The next step is to determine the route from the Demon King's territory directly to the Silver Moon Tree Garden, and then conduct trade one after another at the most efficient speed.

For countries that lack abundant resources and cannot achieve self-sufficiency in all aspects, exchanging surplus resources for resources that are not produced much is undoubtedly necessary.

Right now, the little demons are carrying boxes of blue sage mushrooms into the ship's hold. Once all five trade ships are loaded, the trade convoy will set sail for the first time.

"Our planned route is as follows: following the flow of the sea, we will first reach the pirate city of Hazlosa in the far east, where we will replenish our supplies of drinks and food on the island, and then continue our journey to the port of Silvermoon Tree Garden."

As she spoke, the merman leader explained the trade route to Ira and Satanye. Pointing to the sea chart that the two could not understand at all, she said, "If we don't do this, we will need to bring twice as many supplies, and the amount of goods we can carry will be very small."

It's worth mentioning that nautical charts and maps are not the same thing at all. If Iraq, as a layman, could understand what the people of this world wanted to express through his experience, then with nautical charts... Iraq couldn't even understand where the sea was or where the land was.

Although Ira and Satanieh couldn't offer any opinions, he still needed to raise some questions...

"Haizlothar? That's a chaotic place, a place where pirates don't care whether they're wanted or not, and where all lawless people are treated the same, right?"

As Ira asked this, recalling his influence on Hazlosa, he said, "We're not pirates, so is it really necessary for us to resupply there?"

The Naga leader seemed unconcerned about Ira's concerns, shrugging her shoulders and saying, "Pirates are mostly made up of sirens, Gorgons, and humans, aren't they...? We're sirens after all, aren't we?"

However, it is not uncommon for members of the same race to harm each other, even outside of areas controlled by monsters.

"It is indeed dangerous, but we either sacrifice efficiency and carry more supplies."

The mermaid leader spoke softly, his finger sliding from one side of the nautical chart to the other, adding, "Alternatively, we could go in a circle and resupply near the Lothar Islands, but we'd also need to bring more supplies... though less than what we'd need if we went directly."

However, that would mean that each trade trip would take much longer.

"I'm not worried about their combat capabilities at sea. After all, the sword shark should be a powerful weapon that can quickly destroy enemy ships in the sea. But what if they have already landed in Hazlosa?"

Ira agreed, and wanting to understand the three sirens' considerations, he continued, "At that time, if a battle occurs on land, how will your fighting strength be guaranteed?"

The three sirens looked at each other in bewilderment at this question, and then responded to him with their actions—

The merfolk leader displayed the shield that transformed into a shield shell with a gentle breath, which she held in her hand. The mermaid leader's hand shone with blue mana light, and the Naga leader revealed her six arms.

The Naga, after a blur, transformed into a six-armed form, each arm wielding a weapon, which looked... like the kind that would be impenetrable when wielded.

Hmm, it seems... Ira finally understands what the Naga are for in the fleet.

"..."

It seems I've completely forgotten about this...

Ira glanced away. He had initially thought of the mermaid leader who could hear the song of the sea (and feel the ocean currents), and the merfolk with their swords and shields. Then, he subconsciously couldn't think of any use the Naga could have among the sirens.

Looking at it now, it was probably... a boarding action?

"Ira, your gaze is so rude..."

The Naga leader noticed Ira's gaze and, somewhat displeased, added, "While we are certainly not as strong as you, we should be considered strong in the pirate city of Hazlosa, right?"

Although she had clearly misunderstood something, Ira didn't explain anything like, "That's not what I meant. I just thought you were useless and were just there to make up the numbers among the sirens." If she had, things would have really gotten worse.

"Hmm? Are you guys really that strong?"

However, Satan Ye, who had been listening in, blinked and said innocently, her words piercing the hearts of the three sirens: "But, it seems like you can't even beat Lotia~"

"..."

"But Miss Lotia is the Black Flame Headless Knight..."

"That's right, Your Highness the Demon King."

"Uh-huh."

The three sirens responded with an attitude that seemed to say, "Isn't it normal to lose?" Looking at Satan Ye, who tilted her head in confusion, she said, "But it doesn't seem like we can beat Rainbow Shell either..."

The three sirens gave similar answers to this question—

"But Mr. Rainbow Shell is the strongest insect warrior!"

"That's right, that's right."

"Mmm~"

"..."

Doesn't that mean you can't beat anyone?

Satan Ye's expression clearly conveyed this meaning, and the three siren leaders also clearly understood Satan Ye's meaning, and then... they panicked.
