When you pass through the cave, there are corals and colorful stones all over the place, and the blue sea shines beautifully on the ceiling. It is breathtakingly beautiful.



　The houses of the mermaids were also made of stone, one by one, with great care.

　But of course, not a single mermaid swam in the village.



Isn't it beautiful? They have a special magic so that you can't see them from the water.

"It's true. I didn't expect it to be this beautiful.



"Anyone can enter through the cave, but not many people or demons come this far out to sea.



"It's been a few hundred years since a human has entered this mermaid village, so you should feel honored."

　Mei looks smug as she beats her chest.



--And where are the half-mermaids? ----

"Wait a minute. When I escaped, they were gathered at the head of the village at the far end.



"It would have been bad if we had gone in large numbers and they had found us. I, Lucky, and Sun will go check it out. You can all wait in the box yard.



　Lucky gets off Sun and tries to walk on the bottom of the sea, but he gets flustered and can't move forward properly.

----I can't move forward.

"Okay. Then let's have Lucky wait in the box yard and take Mr. Gargoyle instead."

----Sorry.



　The sight of Lucky swimming in the sea makes my cheeks relax for a moment.

"Lucky is so cute!"

　I hug him and nuzzle him.



　Lucky returns to the box yard, and Mr. Gargoyle takes his place.

　He is more promising than Lucky, since he is used to moving around in the water this time.



I am honored to be Lucky's replacement. I will do my best.



　I can't leave her here alone, so I decide to go with her.

　I stare at her silently, and she stretches her chest out.



"Leave it to me.

"You can take Mei with you, but she has to be really quiet.

"I'll take care of it!"



　I didn't see Sun sigh a little.

　I really don't want to leave anything to him, even though I've asked him twice to do so.



"Well then, let's be careful."

　We climbed on Mr. Gargoyle's back and Mei and Sun swam through the village.

　Some of the walls in the village are crumbling, but it is so neat and tidy that we forget that we are in the water.



　Above all, the blue scenery is fantastic and makes you feel as if you are being rewarded just for being here.

　I would definitely like to visit here when there is nothing going on.



　After walking through the village for a while, you will see a rather large building in the village.



"Mr. Locke. Please stop. There is a half-fisherman there."

　Just in the shadow of the building, San deftly pointed with his tentacles in the direction of two half-mermaids with shark-like upper bodies holding spears and watching the entrance.



"Are there mermaids trapped in there?"

"I don't know, but I think so. Even if they are not, we just have to catch the half-mermaids and make them throw up.



"What do we do?　Should we go through the front door?

"No, there is a back door. Let's see if we can get in through the back door. If we don't have to go in the front, that's the best way.



　Sun and I make eye contact and try to go around the back.

"What are you two talking about?　You don't have to do that, just lure him out here."



　May suddenly runs out of the building.

　Then she screams!



"I'm not running away again!　I'm the strongest!"



　San gets a slight headache.

　I'm getting a headache, too.



　The shark-fishman swims toward May.

　But it doesn't seem to be having a conversation with her.

　It feels as if he really has no will of his own.



"Well then, take care of Sun and Rock for me!"

　May waves at me smilingly.

　I'll definitely be following you.



"I'm sorry, Mr. Locke, but we're going to have to force our way through. And you can shackle May as much as you like later.

I agree. I'll be with you when you beat up Sun.



　Something like a friendship developed between me and Sun.



"I'm sorry, Mr. Gargoyle, but I have to go."

I'll take care of it.






　Mr. Gargoyle shoots wind magic with both hands and runs into the shark fisherman at high speed.

　I'd like to interrogate him if I can, so I have to be careful not to kill him.



　I don't want to cut him and have him come to me with the smell of blood.

　Okay, let's go for the straight and narrow.



　Mr. Gargoyle tries to hit the shark-fishman with his speed, but the shark-fishman moves unexpectedly fast.

　As one would expect in the water. He moves quite well, even with our poor movement.



"Hold on, Mr. Locke!"

　Mr. Gargoyle stops the shark fisherman with wind magic.

　I get on Mr. Gargoyle's back and hit him.



　With a lot of force.

"Did I do that?"



　Mr. Gargoyle, I've done that before and it didn't work.

　The half-breed was still alive and well.



"Isn't it unusually strong?"

"It came in pretty strong, though."

"Is he being controlled by something?"



　The shark fish attacked us, trying to bite us.

　He attacked us twice ......3 times ......4.



"Mr. Gargoyle, can you avoid this side next time?"

"Yes, sir."



　The shark-fishman was moving in the same way as before.

　It seems that the shark-fishman is set to attack automatically when an enemy comes along.

　However, the movements do not seem to be so detailed.　



　Then there are many ways to deal with it.



"Sun, these guys are moving the same way. Can you wrap them up in your tentacles so we can hold them down?

Yes, I can.



　We'll grab a shark fisherman with Mr. Gargoyle and wrap him up in a circle.

　The other one we put on ...... May and let him pull us in.



　He's helping a little.

　Okay, let's let them play chase each other for a while.



"Sun, this shark-fish guy doesn't talk at all, is that normal?"

"No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. We were able to communicate normally before.



　Is he being manipulated by something?

　But this time the shark-fishman didn't come to his senses even after I hit him.



　And with all the noise outside, reinforcements never came.



"Let's go inside after we get the other one. Are Sun's tentacles okay?"

"They're fine. I can extend them with my magic power as much as I want.



　Sun and I were chatting as we watched May being chased.

　You're doing great.



"Mr. Locke, why don't you help us and we'll move on?"

"Oh, yeah. I almost left him there.



　You're a gentleman, Mr. Gargoyle.



　We decided to grab the other one and check the house.



　May tells us.

"You guys ignored me!　I'll never forgive you! I'm going to tell your mother... ......

　She was making such a racket, but Sun wrapped her tentacles around May's mouth in mid-sentence to shut her up.

　Too bad she's a mermaid.
