66 Receptionist Year Two - Sea Country Edition 7

Soft air.

It was like sleeping in a cradle. Or warm warmth, like back in your mother's tummy.

"Mmm..."

Consciousness surfaces at the feeling of being stroked on the cheek.

Such carelessness as waking up from a long sleep, like out of a dark dark world to a place of light.

Blink the lid to focus the blurred vision.

Beneath me, which would be lying, was a rug with a soft feel… different from a cloth, a baby's cheeks and a lot of touch. The colour is like the colour of your lips.

Slow down and I'll look around.

What you see in your eyes is a beautiful blue world, unlike the blue in the sky, with a mixture of light even in the clear.

The kind of sleeping table I would have slept on is shaped like a shell I saw on the beach if I looked closely.

There were strangely shaped, star-like figurines all around. It also grows long grasses that shake with yurayura.

But this was some room, not outside.

White, yes. A space surrounded by white walls that are a little glossy, as if on the back of a shell.

If you look at the ceiling, creatures and fish you've never seen are stretching and swimming.

My hair, which should have been tied, was loose, but somewhere out of the ordinary.

It spreads fluffy, as if in water.

……

After a while I thought about it, I shook my arm sideways as much as I wanted.

- Bukkkkkkkkkkkkkkk......

Slight resistance and bubbling.

Unlike the air that touches your skin, it's like being immersed in water close to warm water......,

"Huh?"

- Bukubuku.

- Yeah.

"... Yep!?

I was in the water.

"What's here..."

Every time I move my mouth, there is poking and bubbling.

Ever since I was dragged into the ocean, I don't know what happened. I don't even see that strange creature.

I pressed my mouth unexpectedly after realizing I was in the water, but for now I was relieved because I seemed to be able to breathe wonders.

I feel sincerely relieved that I'm not dead. Something that stops dying in such a weird place to say that there are still things you want to do or haven't been able to do.

What would Nike and Benjamin be doing by now, too? It would be extremely annoying if my friends were shipwrecked at sea even though it was a trip because of it.

"Ha! I didn't organize the dossier room!

Plus... work! What about the job!

If it's only been a year since you've been a receptionist sister, and you can't keep coming home from here, unauthorized absence is a good place. Regardless of the paperwork I finished before I took my vacation, the re-numbering of the book in the dossier room that I was going to do at the beginning of my vacation was a job that the director had asked me to do immediately. Shit, the director busts me.

I haven't even bought the souvenirs of Mr. Zozo and his family in just three days off, I haven't collected all sorts of seashells that can be picked on the sandy beach that he said he wanted china from, and I haven't bought a treat called "Parkle's Milk," a specialty of the Kingdom of Serena that the director has asked for plain.

I really don't like that it's all par even though the money I saved will be my target amount in a little while because of it. Is it something that will definitely die in a place like this?

No matter what you think alone, you don't even have to know where this place is to talk about it.

I would try magic, but I couldn't do anything.

"Sheesh sissi"

If you're gonna stand up, don't. If you're sitting up, does that sound like it? voice? was heard from the ceiling.

If you look up, the upper body of a human man on his fishface, and the part of his leg, a creature with a fishtail, swims, comes in front of him. My body swayed, pushed by a stream of water.

"Fish?"

Is this... a mermaid?

It's like something I've seen in a picture book or a memoir, or a lot different from what I was hearing in a rumor.

Gyolo, and two eyes turned to me.

"Cissy, Cissy"

My mouth is pounding and I'm talking about something to me.

But from earlier on, all I can hear is Shea. I know very well by hand that you're trying to tell me something, but it's all sheer, so I can't tell the difference between the pronunciation or anything.

"Si?... Shh!

When I put my neck up, oh, no, I forgot, that fish person with a face like that? has slapped his hand with a pong and offered him a round, white little ball of where he served it from.

I mean take it. It pushes me hard.

After that, I was given a finger gesture on my mouth, so I wondered if I wanted to drink this unknown ball.

... What if it's poison?

"... mugg?!

"Sissy! Sissy - eat fast!

"Oh no, you swallowed it!... and that?

The fishmonger forced me to stick my balls in my mouth and accidentally swallowed them. Worst case scenario, I wonder if this will kill me.

But the only voice I had heard from earlier that was Shy was suddenly being heard as a word. Totally man...... or boy, the voice of is heard from a fishmonger.

Surprised and backward, but fishmongers grabbed my arm and pulled me back. My hair sways and floats on my face.

"You look like your sister, but not your sister"

"What?"

"But the smell is the same because Nanyok brought him here... sometimes blood ties? What if my sister was married? Aside from me, I'm still with a human man!?

I know the words now, but I don't know what they mean.

"But well good. Father had no choice but to connect with you."

"I have no idea what you're talking about!

Throw in the large shellfish that was kept nearby and make a gap.

I want you to rough up the crowd at all. I fluttered my legs and swam, trying to escape while I could if I was breathing.

But it still didn't work for a fish human opponent, and I couldn't get my legs grabbed and move on.

I resent that pitchy tail fin.

"I will take you to the king of the sea."

"Um...? Is that possible, Neptune - Celestial?

That giant creature also said 'The King of the Sea'.

Although we only have the knowledge gained in the book, if this is the kingdom of the sea inhabited by mermaids, and if he says it is the king who rules this sea, then perhaps, no, surely the king of the sea must be the 'Celestial King'.

I have definitely seen the statement that the ocean does not matter with one of his moods.

If the king was angry, the sea would be rough, if he was happy, the waves would shake calmly, if he was sad, the sea would sway, etc. The sea and the king were connected by one soul, what a book I saw.

"It's quick to talk if you know. Let's go."

"No, no, no. Um, I'm sorry, I'm probably wrong, right? Or where are we?"

It's my sister's room.

"Otherwise, I mean, sister, go up. Um - Wow!

Fishman pulls his arm out of the room from a blowing ceiling.

He's not answering the question at all, and what is it? This guy, and I was the one who puts the bubble of Bukubuku air out of my mouth, but I stopped bubbling out of the room and into what I saw.

"Nah...... what, here"

Bigger than any castle I've ever seen, it's white and glowing. What the hell kind of person would make such a magnificent work of art?

A castle with a number of holes, an oval window with leaking golden light, in the centre where a number of giant columns stand, with a spiraled shellfish tower in the middle. Are the walls of the building littered with gemstones or shining small in the light of the sun shooting in from above the sea? Large seashells were also stuck everywhere. Shellfish wrapped around glue and vortex, elongated shellfish, and surrounded by blue and white grass, red grass, and yellow grass grew like flower gardens.

I can hear the music playing or the scales with good ear damage.

Before me, the pun and the little fish were rampant.

"Look, don't you get it? The room you were in is part of this."

The room I was in, he said, was just part of this big building.

"My great father, the castle of King Celestial's submarine, the palace of the Sea."

He says so confidently, and he's pulled.

- I admired it, the sea.

Look at the hand of the person being grabbed, the gold ring put on his left pharmacopoeia.

I wondered how much I would have enjoyed this if it had been sightseeing, while being taken by a fishmonger.
