It's the second day after one night in the Kingdom of Hydra.
　I woke up quite early, I was still walking along the seaside in the dim light, thinking that it was a good time to take a morning walk.

　As expected of a port town, many people seem to be working early in the morning, and the town is quite lively.
　While listening to the noisy but pleasant hustle and bustle, I continued my walk at a leisurely pace... and arrived at a slightly different place.
　There are people here and there, all holding long, thin sticks ... fishing rods in their hands and fishing.

　It seems that this place is a fishing spot, and there are all kinds of people from young to old.
　Hmmm. Fishing.........I've never tried sea fishing before, but it looks like fun. I'd like to try it if I had the chance.

"Woooooooooooo, this is a big one!
...Yeah?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!　Hey, help me out!
'What?　Oh, yes!

　As I walked along watching the scene, I saw a white bearded old man out of the corner of my eye, his pole was swinging wildly, and he was desperately trying to pull it back, but it looked like a big fish, and he was struggling, so he called out to me for help.
　It looked dangerous, so I quickly ran up to him and helped him up.

Okay, okay, well then, let's pull out of here!
Yes, sir.
"Se-no!　
Yes!

　I didn't have time to think about how it happened, and I struggled with the fish as I struggled to support the pole being pulled with considerable force and to keep my breath with the old man.








'Oh no! Thank you, young man. Thank you, young man.
Oh, no, no, I'm just glad you made it.
Yes, that's the biggest one I've seen in a long time.

　I struggled with the fish for a few minutes, and I managed to catch it.
　The old man seemed to be happy to catch a big fish, and he patted me on the back with a smile on his wrinkled face.
　He was so energetic.

But I've never seen him before, have you?　I often fish here, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like it... are you a tourist?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, well, well, you're in luck, young man!　I heard that the God of Fate and the heroes are coming to this town right now, if you look for them, you might be able to meet them.
Yeah, I guess so.

　Sorry, I've already met with both of them. No, on the contrary, I didn't meet with one of them, I came with one of them...
　It seems that this old man loves to talk, and he laughed happily as he continued to talk to you one after the other.

He laughed happily as he continued to talk and said, "Well, he's got a nice expression on his face, especially for a young man these days. It's just like when I was a young man!
Oh, thank you.

　...Are you Japanese, Grandpa?　I swallowed desperately at the rush of "I'm from this world no matter how you look at it....

''Speaking of which, my lord, on the subject of tourism, have you taken a look at the 'House of Assembly'?'''
The House of Representatives?
Well, in the heart of the country, where the Congress is held, you should see it if you're ever in town.
Yeah, sure.

　It's amazing, this old man, he doesn't seem to stop talking at all. I wonder if this is the result of life experience..........................I have a feeling that Mr. Magnawell was like this too.
　The old man's talking skills had no end in sight, and he went on and on.

This is a good country, and it is open to the opinions of its people.
...Is that right?
Yes, this country is governed by a system of representatives. Eight members of the common people and eight members of the nobility are elected by the people to decide the course of government.
"Mmm-hmm.

　Well, it seems that the politics of this Hydra Kingdom is similar to the politics of our world.
　Members are elected by the people and discuss policies to make the country better.
　Naturally, people who want to be members of the council value the popularity of the people, and since half of them are commoners and half are aristocrats, they can share their opinions with each other from different points of view.
　It seems to me that the country is becoming more and more comfortable for the people.

　Of course, that doesn't mean that everything will go smoothly, but from what the old man says, the people have a high opinion of him.

The senators are all good people, but the king of this country is not.
...What?
It is a pity that they are so bored with their participation in Congress that they are playing around with it.
... hahaha...

　I'm not a bad person for thinking that he's a king like Mr. Fate.

"We don't need a king in this country any longer... don't you think?　Younger.
'What?　Oh, yeah, maybe.
'You bet!　That's right!　Oh no, you're young and you know it well!

　Grandpa laughs happily and slaps me on the back with a bang.....................soberly painful.
　Still, he's a really cheerful old man. If this is the case, I have a feeling we're going to have to go on and on with this conversation.

"Oops, no good..............................I've interrupted the sightseeing.
Oh, no, thank you for your valuable talk.

　Unlike what I expected, I heard the old man say that he was going to end the conversation, and I was relieved inside. I was grateful for the opportunity to hear a lot of stories, but I also wanted to eat breakfast and was hoping to get back home soon.

I often fish here. I hope you can talk to me again when you have time.
Oh, yes. I understand. If I get another chance....
Hmm. Have a safe trip then.
Yes, thank you.

　I bowed to my grandfather while being overwhelmed by his light-hearted talking skills until the end, and then left the place.

　Dear Mom, Dad - I thought my comic skills had improved since I came to this world, but that was a naive idea. At least that old man overwhelmed me from start to finish, and I was swept away. What can I say, I still don't seem to have enough - talk skills.








　After the pleasant man left, the old man dropped his fishing line into the sea again and tried to resume fishing.
　At that moment, a number of knights dressed in knight armor approached the spot.

I'm afraid they've already found us........we are no match for them.
What the hell are you doing?
I thought you needed a break from all this, but oh boy...

　Hearing the words of the approaching knight, the old man heaves a loud sigh, and at the same time, the old man's figure changes as his body is engulfed in light.
　The figure changes to a petite girl with ears shaped like fish fins, short marine blue hair, and blue eyes the same color as her hair, and the girl stands up carrying a fishing rod.

''As I've said many times, we can't allow you to leave the royal castle Your Majesty,''
Well, I always say that I'm fine with decorations. The god of fate is here, and I can't relax.
Well this isn't the first time you've taken a break, is it?
Ha, is that right?　Well, isn't it good that the king is not busy, that the people are the only ones who can keep the kingdom running?

　The girl laughs and tells her that while laughing, King Hydra stands up and starts walking with his knight in tow.


Then you'll have to work a little harder for your country.
An old king like me has no business giving out his head to the young ones. I'm only here to give you my head if that fails. Fortunately, my head is still on the table.
"....you really are the one...
Or rather, you're you, aren't you?　You've been the king for nearly a thousand years, how long will you continue to treat the old man?　I'd like to retire as soon as possible, wouldn't you?

　
　However, she always said she wanted to quit, and she was a troubled king who slipped away from the castle whenever she could find time to play.

If you think that's what you want, you should marry and have an heir.
I'm not interested in anything s*xy, but if that's the case, bring me a man I like. I don't want a boring guy.　I want a young man with light brown hair and good-natured, someone who will sit quietly with me as I talk. His height doesn't matter, and he doesn't have to be dazzlingly beautiful.
"...why are you so specific?
Well?　I just thought it would be fun to have that kind of company.

　With a containing smile, the king of the Mermaid tribe heads to the royal castle.
　Her name is.........Laguna Dia Hydra.......once 'the hero who fought with the first hero against the Demon King', and even now, she is still a hero, a great hero who has great support from the people and is said to be the strongest in the human world.
　In his blue eyes, there is a joy in the chance encounter.
