Chapter 350. The purpose is tourism only (2)

“Who came up with the concept of this city? Could it be that the mermaids invented it?”

I suddenly became interested.

Because, apparently, it was not what a normal person thought.

Could this be confidential?

After thinking about it for a while, Ella told me about the inventor.

“There is one who is called a wise man.”

“Sage?”

What's the name you remember?

“Yes, Her Majesty's teacher and the one who advised me a lot after Kelia's unification. We know that this city too was designed by him.”

“That's... amazing.”

I became interested in that sage.

I'd like to meet you face to face when the opportunity arises.

I want to go sightseeing by the sea right now, but I can't.

Above all, the representative of this place asked to see us, so we decided to meet the representative first.

And then, it was time for a quick meal.

Sightseeing is good, but dinner is first.

The castle where the representative, the manager of the city, also stayed was also somewhat unusual in general performance.

There is a structure above it, and a structure like a rock cave extends below the surface of the water.

“Hey, is it to meet those who live on land and those who live below the surface at the same time?”

It must have a different meaning besides showing off.

Those who live in the water may be misunderstood as closed-minded people in the eyes of those who live outside.

Isn't that why the representative of this place has a castle both above and below the surface?

I roughly guessed that.

I'd like to examine the castle more, but that would be too rude.

First of all, we went to meet the owner of this place.

“Nice to meet you. I am Relpha, one of the owners of this city.”

“...This is Gwella. Haahaham ....

The city of the city who welcomed us was two people.

one is familiar

I wondered where I had seen it, and it was the mermaid at the party.

The upper body of a human lower body of a fish, a mermaid bows politely in the water droplets.

It's like a fish in a fishbowl.

And the only one left is the Siren.

It is this race with the feathers of a bird and the body of a human.

However, since this is nocturnal, he doesn't seem very energetic right now.

Come to think of it, it is said that sirens lure humans on ships at night and sink them. does it have anything to do with it?

“Now... thank you.”

She waved as if she were about to fall down at any moment and said hello.

No, if it's hard, just go and sleep.

“both. Are you the representative of this place?”

“It is.”

“...they rule half above and half below. ha ha ha ha.”

As far as I've heard, there used to be a tribe of mermaids on the bottom of the sea and sirens on the shoreline living in this area from the beginning.

After the integration, of course, there was an opinion to make this place with a good view a tourist destination, and they followed suit.

The question was who would be the representative of the city.

“Anyway, we mermaids have no interest in the world outside the water. Even if there is, I can't move. The current system provides the necessary nourishment.”

“...That’s probably why?”

“Indeed, that is why the ruling system was divided into two. Siren out of the water.

Mermaids do not have water.”

After roughly understanding the situation, we enjoyed a dinner prepared by the girls.

As a city located on the sea, most of the dinners served were fish or seafood.

The food was palatable enough.

I could say that it was a level that could be given a passing grade.

Although this dish was slightly different from what the two representatives ate, perhaps it was for guests like us.

Theirs is raw fish.

Even Pena was startled when the Mermaid and the Sirens each ate the whole jumping fish.

Still, it was understandable.

That's because, unlike us, they are normal that way.

Hmmm... is it raw fish by the way?

Anyway, there is already a place.

My answer is always fixed.

“It is interesting to see the city, but there are places I want to go first. There is a place you have your eye on.”

Now that we're at sea, there's only one place to go.

“Looks like there’s a nice spot over there on the waterfront. Can I spend some time there?”

If you come to the beach, of course you have to go to the sea!

I was aiming for it from the beginning and had my eye on it.

Even if it's not, today's temperature is moderately hot and the sky is clear.

If you don't go to the sea on a day like this, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life.

And what begins when you go to sea?

How to play in the water right away!

Therefore, I strongly insisted on going to play in the water.

“Come to think of it, Arel-sama always felt sorry for him whenever he went to the port city.”

“Is it?”

“Yes, it seems that Arel-sama wanted to play in the sea.”

“So Arell... aha, that’s why it’s like that. After all, there was a place for a big water play in the castle too.”

“You seem to like water quite a bit.”

What am I...

I was fascinated by their conversation while enjoying the moderately cool feel of the water.

Currently we were spending time on the sea in front of the beach.

With a huge boat floating and a parasol spread on it, Pena is enjoying a cool drink there, and her aides are talking while guarding the surroundings.

And I am in the sea to enjoy one of my original purposes, bathing.

Instead of a tube, she attached a magic tool that floats her body on the water, and floats gracefully as it is.

The feeling of moderately cold water and the feeling of floating are pleasant.

okay! I wanted something like this. This feeling is the true sea.

If there's one thing I'm sorry for... I glanced at the women who were chatting on the boat.

Specifically, their outfits. It's thin for playing in the water, but it's still large.

‘Shouldn't I have developed a swimsuit as a new product?'

But I gave up. No matter how much it is, it can't be accepted in this era.

I decided to get rid of my thoughts and just enjoy playing in the water.

If you are tired of floating around after playing like this.

“Pena! Give me those grapes over there!”

“...Really like this? Will you be okay like this?”

Pena was a bit puzzled, picked some grapes from the tray and threw them at me.

smooth. I deftly take it in my mouth as it flies away.

Mmm! It's refreshing!

It takes a trick to get it, but it's convenient.

“Ah... this is unexpected...

At first, Pena, who was hesitant about what this was doing, also suits my eccentricity and makes an expression of something interesting.

However, something seems complicated.

It feels like feeding them at the zoo.

In fact, I feel half the same way.

That's why it's like a sea otter.

It'd be nice to be able to spend a leisurely time like this. I'd rather be a sea otter in my next life.

Although it is a lie.

“Arel, does that make you feel good?”

Looking at me floating near the boat, Pena asked in a slightly absurd manner.

Although it looks like this, it is surprisingly comfortable.

I'm sorry I can't understand you.

“Would you rather come with me? this is pretty good You could say it felt like being in a large water bed. And because it's cool.”

“I’m going to decline... For some reason, if I go into the sea water, my skin will get worse... And it looks a bit off.”

what do you think it looks like

You threw something to eat as if you were having fun a little while ago.

In return, I sprinkled a little water on it.

Where do you taste the seawater?

“oh?”

However, Undine, the spirit of Pena, pops up to block the water I sprinkled.

She said “Whoops!” and smile proudly It was the face that expected such a prank.

I clicked my tongue and floated again, giving myself over to the feeling of floating on the surface of the water.
