We finished finding the trident and were riding the Queen Anne's Revenge back with light hearts.
On the way back, Salazar's Silent Mary was chasing Jack Sparrow's improvised Dying Gull, but the Silent Mary was so wrecked it couldn't pick up speed and just couldn't close the distance.
"Jack Sparrow! Stop right there!!!"
"Would you stop if you were me!!!"
Barbossa and I watched the scene with great amusement.
"Bwahahaha! I've never seen anything this entertaining in all my years!"
"Yeah, you don't get to see something like this often."
We drank while enjoying the spectacle, then returned to Barbossa's hideout island. But Barbossa's crew were moving around busily.
At first I thought they were just tidying up after docking, but watching a bit more, they seemed to be building something. Curious, I asked Barbossa.
"What are they making now?"
"Your wedding venue."
"Huh? What?"
"Are you not going to marry her? I want to see my grandchild soon."
"Ahem..."
I was flustered by the sudden wedding, but it wasn't like I disliked Carina. As long as the bad breath wasn't an issue.
And just like that, they threw together a wedding venue in no time and the ceremony started. The wedding passed by in a blur. It was my first wedding too, so I was out of it.
"Here comes the bride!"
Carina walked in shyly, holding Barbossa's hand, wearing a white dress I had no idea where they'd gotten.
A priest I didn't know where they'd found came to officiate. Where did they drag him from in a single day?
"Groom, do you promise to cherish and love the bride and blah blah---"
Barbossa was crying next to me for some reason.
"Then, groom, you may kiss the bride."
I was out of it and completely forgot that Carina's mouth smelled because she didn't brush, and got swept up in the mood and kissed her. The moment her breath came up, I remembered the smell.
I had no choice but to endure the stench and finish the kiss with Carina. Thanks to the ability, my expression didn't change.[Acting]
Ah! Damn, shit breath... I was so out of it I forgot to use [Household Magic]. I need to brush her teeth fast...
"I now pronounce you husband and wife!"
Waaaaa~~~~!!
The pirates cheered.
Ding~!
Event
[First Heroine NTR Achieved Reward: 5,000 Points granted]
I guess they give rewards for events like this too.
Carina and I moved to the bridal chamber Barbossa had prepared for us. On the way, I used [Household Magic] on both Carina and myself to quickly remove the smells from our mouths and bodies.
"My body suddenly feels so refreshed."
"It's because you're happy about getting married."
"That must be it. I'm so happy. It feels like a dream that we got married."
"Yeah, I'm happy too. So, a witch and a magician got married, huh?"
"Hehe~ That's right."
We entered the bridal chamber the pirates had hastily built, tacky with flowers stuck all over it.
Still, they seemed to have put some effort in—it didn't smell. And so the two of us spent our first night together.
The next day, I thought there was nothing left to get in this world, but looking at Carina sleeping beside me, it felt like a waste to trigger the ending.
So I decided to just leave it and come back whenever I was bored to enjoy a honeymoon in the Caribbean.
"End Play."

"Huh? It didn't ask about viewing the ending. Ah! It's because I didn't kill 'Salazar'."
It seemed the ending didn't trigger because I didn't kill 'Salazar', who was basically the boss. That's probably why the reward points were lower than Jumper too.
"Well, I wasn't planning to see the ending anyway, so it doesn't matter?"
Now that I had Teleport from Jumper, there was something I needed to do. I went to the bunker's storage, grabbed a shovel and candles, picked up my mother's body, and teleported to my father's grave.
It was my first time going outside the bunker in 18 years. The moment I came out, a scorching heat hit my skin on the wind.
All the trees were withered and skeletal, and the ground was cracked wide open. The ozone layer seemed to have failed completely.
"Wow~ No wonder there are no survivors..."
Even with high stamina and [Flame Resistance], it was hot for me. A normal person wouldn't last long outside.
I chose large dead trees and made a coffin for my mother's body. My swordsmanship was excellent, so it didn't take long.
Then I dug deep next to my father's grave with the shovel I brought, carefully laid the coffin holding my mother inside, and buried it.
Since I had no ritual food, I took a random lunchbox and alcohol from my inventory, set them out, and held a simple memorial service.
"Father, I brought Mother. I promised I'd bury her here."
Tears came a little. Honestly, I could go to the Naruto world and steal [Edo Tensei] and [Rinne Rebirth] to revive them, but with the world like this, it would be meaningless.
"I'll definitely turn back time and make sure the world doesn't end up like this. Until then, please take care of Mother. Both of you, rest in peace."
After finishing the service, I returned to the bunker and took some time to collect myself, then came back out. I wanted to test [Poseidon's Trident] that I got in Pirates of the Caribbean, but the phrase 'World-bound Item' in the description bothered me.
I moved to a nearby sea, took out [Poseidon's Trident] from my inventory, and tried to use it.
[World mismatch. Cannot use this item.]
[World mismatch. Cannot use this item.]
[World mismatch. Cannot use this item.]
"Damn... I see what 'World-bound Item' means now."
[Poseidon's Trident] seemed to draw power from the sea of the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Using it made that clear.
For example, if the sea in the Pirates of the Caribbean world is a broadcasting station, the TV is [Poseidon's Trident].
If you go to another world, you can't watch the broadcast with the TV. And using a [Penalty Removal Ticket] wouldn't help, because the TV only receives broadcasts—it doesn't have the ability to create them. In other words, it wasn't a penalty.
"Still, I got two good items, so I should be satisfied with that."
I used Teleport to return to the bunker and checked the points I'd accumulated so far.
"Status."
