With our new companion, Luri, we headed south.

　We were going from the north to the southern kingdom of Rooster, which took quite a bit of time.

　We wanted to get to Rooster as soon as possible, so we didn't do any leveling up along the way.

''Hey, what kind of country is the Kingdom of Rooster?''

　On the way, I asked Meku about the Kingdom of Leicester.

The Kingdom of Rooster is inhabited by fishmen," he said. Fishermen are a race of people with characteristics of both fish and man. It's also a country by the sea.
The fisherman.

　Meku explained a little more about the fishmen.
　They are good swimmers and can live both on land and in the sea.
　It seems that some fishmen stay on land all their lives, while others continue to live in the sea. There are no restrictions on how long they can live on land or die if they don't go into the water for a certain period of time, or how long they can live on land.

If you look at the land area alone, the Rooster Kingdom is a small one. However, since this country faces the sea and there are fishermen living in the sea, its population is quite large. If you include the sea, it's a huge nation.
Heh.
But the fishermen who live in the sea and the fishermen who live on land don't get along with each other very well. I've heard that they sometimes cooperate with each other in case of emergency, but I've heard that they've been quarreling with each other. I don't understand why they're so quarrelsome. It's a kingdom, and it's ruled by royalty, but the fishermen who live in the sea don't really listen to each other, so maybe there are people in the sea who simply don't want to be ruled.
Hey, Tetsuya, what's a fish?

　Lenya asked from the side.

'Don't you know?'
I've never seen that before.

　You certainly haven't seen the ocean, but there are lakes and rivers and you thought you knew them, but you don't.

They're creatures that live in the water.
'What?　I can't breathe under water.
That's why the fish can breathe.
How?
It's more like gill breathing...
What?
It's on the fish's cheek and, uh, I can breathe in the water anyway.

　Along the way, I forced myself to put it all together, because I was too lazy to explain it.

　A few months later, I finally reached the Kingdom of Rooster.

　I entered the Luster Kingdom and saw some fishermen, and they were a rather friendly race. They don't seem to look down on humans as low life forms.

　We stopped at a town on the way and gathered information on where we could get to the island of Moen and heard that we should go to Fas, an oceanfront city in the southwest.

　We hurried to Fas in a big hurry.
