In the middle of chasing after the winged Sirens, I received a warning from the window flower.

''Ladies and gentlemen. That bird-type Siren, but I detected a slight magical power in her voice. It probably has the effect of manipulating your thoughts. Please be very careful.

　Are you saying that you are unconsciously guided in your thinking?　I don't think it had any effect on me in that way, but...

Not so dangerous, is it?　I don't think it affects me at all, do you?

　Because my biological curiosity got the better of me than my need for help.

"In Ryota-sama's case, there is a magic power dissipation effect on the skin. The structural skin of your ear is thin, but it's a weak magic power to begin with, so it shouldn't affect you.

　You know, like the eardrums and...

　As I always think, my skin is very useful in this world. It's not good against mass-attack magic, but it can hide magic power, and it's very strong against mental and curse-type magic. But I recently fell victim to Schmel's magic, so I can't be overconfident.

It's unlikely that this is done intentionally, but it's likely that other Sirens have the same ability. Besides, according to the data, they act in packs, so it's probably a group of people to be rescued. You should always be aware of the soundness of your judgment.

　I see.
　I think it's a very good decision.
　Window flowers are always excellent!

Can you manage that consciously?　I'm not ... I'm not sure.
I'm not so sure about that either. The Sirens are good enough to hunt pirates with a spell.

　Hunting pirates... is that a fighting breed?　But if you're having trouble with sharks, they're probably not a good match for someone who is more instinctual than thought.

'I'm not sure how much, but I thought it would work if you were aware of it. I can detect anomalies by comparing the thoughts of the spirits and the telekinesis. That's how I was able to control it.

　This is not very convincing to people, and I don't think it's going to reassure them at all.

　In fact, window flowers are so good that I used to feel inferior and depressed. Everyone else is not at all relieved because they can do window flowers.

　By the way, my inferiority complex is already over.
　I could solve it by changing my ideas and perspective.

　The window flower is originally my computer, so it's my personal property. Window flowers are excellent and have many abilities, but they were originally my personal property, so they are mine too. But I'm the only one who can do it. Therefore, if you imply to yourself that you are the best in total, you won't feel any inferiority complex.

You're the only one who can do that, aren't you?　Of course I'll try and do my best, but...
Your husband can turn off his magic and your sister could only do that if she had a mechanical mind, you know?

　I know, right?
　I'm not at all sure if I didn't have skin either.
　Hmmm, it might be surprisingly difficult to rescue them.

'Surely, if you can prevent it by being told to be careful, then pirates won't be easy to get beaten up.......'

　Midia and Manya agree with my opinion with an ounce of agreement.

''Lord, my thoughts are both with Haruka's thought crystals, so you can rest assured, right?

　Is the snow wind okay, the artificial intelligence system can be relied upon at times like this.

''Oh, I'm relying on it.

　

''Then let Ryota-sama take your skin. For the sake of my companions, he will remove the skin that can counteract the magic power. If you cover your ears with that skin, it will also prevent the effects.

　Huh?　What's going on here?

'Your husband would skin you alive for your mate...'
'It's painful and hard to strip, too... but thank you...'

　I knew the stock was going up in a bad way!　Wait a minute!　I did it on the spur of the moment, but I'm actually scared!

　Oh, no, no, no!
　We've got to figure out some other way...
　I get it!

This time it's okay. I'm not the enemy, I'll have that birdie go ahead and tell the Sirens who are to be rescued not to raise their voices. That'll settle it!

　It's a reluctance, but when I feel my body is in danger, I'm naturally prone to making plans. I'd like it to be on full display at all times. So I immediately asked the birdie to do it.

"Okay, I'll tell you, I won't say it, I'll fly up.

　For some reason, it's an old western, that Native American impression of the way he speaks. But the meaning is vaguely understandable.

　I guess it means that they fly circles on top of the Mermaid-type Sirens.


I followed the *Sirens.

　We hurriedly followed the birdlings and found a group of Sirens. The Mermaid Sirens had taken refuge on a reef surrounded by the sea, and there were many shark-like dorsal fins around them. The numbers are manageable, but underwater is tricky.

　Birds in the sky above. The Sirens on the reef are appealing to us not to make a sound with their mouths pressed together.

The Midea is a Tango-51, with little underwater range. The Midea is a Tango-51, with little underwater range, and it's a sniper aimed under the dorsal fins and other areas close to the sea surface. The Midea is armor-piercing; with other bullets, it deforms as soon as it hits the surface.

　I wanted you to have some freshet ammunition like a rifle grenade and a few frehsit bullets.

Yes, sir.

　Midea has learned the names of the weapons and knows the intentions right away.
　The coordination is quite close to the heart of the matter.

"Anya, follow me to assist with the simple explosives. There's an ammo box numbered B-264 with a detonator in it. It's in the self-propelled vehicle. Find it and bring it to me.

Yes, sir.

　This time it's a homemade explosive.

　It's a can with a handle with a weight on the bottom (looks just like a paint can), a spring-loaded detonator (time-locked wheel lock), and detonating charge in the detonator.

　There is a 1.5m rope on the semi-circular handle and a float on the other side of the rope. After setting the detonator, it is covered with a lid and waterproofed with duct tape, and then thrown to the target point.

　For safety reasons, the time for detonation was made long. Fragments are not very effective in water, so the aim is to damage them by shock waves, water pressure and sound. In the experiment, the weighted can sank and stopped at 1.5m below the bottom of the float. When the time comes, it will explode.

　However, it's not originally intended to be a weapon's explosive, so it has many drawbacks. Originally, it was made as an explosive fishing device to secure emergency food for slumlords in the town of Niim, the Aigis holiday resort....　

　That's why I've set the explosion to be slow because it's hard to throw and the strikes are inaccurate. Also, it's not suitable for real battles, requiring two people to be in charge of throwing and preparation.

　It's a flawed weapon, but a shark is a fish.
　It should be effective........maybe, MAYBE.

The fishing method is called dynamite fishing on Earth, and is banned in most areas. Don't do this. Not only is it dangerous, it destroys the marine life around it, so even if you use it well, it will certainly be a negative in the long run.


Start Attack

"Ugh, I can't get it down in the water!　Ryota, is the lightning strike still on?

　I've already thrown a few of them!
　I'm setting it long enough so it doesn't explode in the middle of a throw!

'It's about to go off and the gunfire is already working!　The sharks are starting to cannibalize each other. Maybe it's the blood from the wounds Midea made!

　Mr. Siren is holding his mouth.

　But she expresses her gratitude to Midea by bouncing on the rocky ground. In addition, the two flabby fruits, lightly covered with salash, are also shaking violently.

　I can't see them well enough in Midea's shadow.
　This is very suspicious!
　But I'm motivated!

　Finally, a bomb goes off!　The water column creates a rainbow, and numerous sharks are sinking. Ah!　Sharks don't have a maw and I don't stand out.

"Midea. I want you to shoot it in the middle of its belly, just below the pectoral fin. If you don't see the shark, shoot it in the head or the gills.

　The Siren's eyes were glued to Midea.
　d*mn it!　Let me see my plumpness!
(*The knot of the water-dress is secure and there is no polo-polo.

'Window flowers!　We don't know if the sunken shark is dead or not!　Is there any way to stop it?　Preferably in a conspicuous way!

　But Windowflower's decision was cold.

　Zero moving sharks, hence the order to evacuate now. Siren-san jumped into the sea and couldn't see from the neck down....

　Apparently, my bonus time was over before it even started.
