Chapter 172 Tour Around The City

After Coralia finished handing out her gifts, she led the 3 of them into one of the rooms for them to rest.

They gratefully accepted as their journey through the sea has been both mentally and physically tough.

As soon as they laid down, they felt a wave of fatigue wash over them and almost instantly fell asleep. Mira was no different as well.

About an hour later.

"Hehe…" A giggle was heard outside of their door and a naked Coralia came walking in. She was using all of the techniques she's learned to silence herself and thin her presence.

She could tell that Mira's senses were incredibly sharp for some reason, almost to the point that it seemed like she could see the future or read minds.

Coralia this much because whenever she'd think of something lewd or even just glance at Mira, she would know. It was like she was always on edge and ready to fight.

This time was no different as Coralia took every precaution possible. She cleared her mind of all thoughts, didn't even look at Mira, silenced her footsteps, hid her aura, and thinned her presence just so she could sleep next to Mira.

What she didn't know is as soon as her presence thinned, Mira already knew she was in the room. She's been subconsciously keeping track of her this entire time and when she couldn't feel her, she woke up.

She was just too tired to say anything because unless she killed Coralia then she probably wouldn't stop.

With how tired she is right now, there would be a very high chance of Mira trying to kill her, and seeing that she held no ill-will she'll just let something like this slide so she can rest.

She stayed awake to see what Coralia was going to do, but all she did is sneak in between Celaine and herself then cuddle into Mira's chest with her arms and legs wrapped around her.

Mira waited to see if she was going to try anything else, but when she noticed that Coralia went to sleep, then Mira settled down a bit and went back to sleep

The next morning

Mira woke up first and the first thing she saw is Coralia's face right next to hers with a satisfied smile on it.

Mira flicked her forehead, but she didn't hold back and the force of the flick rattled Coralia's brain a bit while leaving a huge bump.

"Ouch! Goddess Mira, what was that for?!" She pouted.

Mira ignored her and got up which caused the other 2 to wake up.

"Why is Coralia in here? And why is she naked?"

"Yeah, how'd she even get in here? I couldn't sense her at all! Though I can guess that she came in here for Mira. So a better question would be, did Mira sense her?"

Maria and Celaine were both confused, but the only conclusion they could come to is that Mira didn't stop her. They didn't even think that Mira didn't know that she entered since they knew how sharp she was.

But now they were starting to wonder if Mira was starting to have feelings for Coralia.

"Ouch!"

They both screamed in pain after getting kicked in the face by Mira.

"What the hell are you two thinking about? Quit thinking about such idiotic things. It's time to look around" Mira said while exiting the room.

They felt a little uncomfortable about having their minds read so easily, but this is just how sharp Mira is. They barely changed their expression and gaze and Mira immediately knew what they were thinking.

"Coming!" Celaine, Maria, and Coralia yelled.

After getting dressed, Coralia led the 3 of them out of her house and started showing them around.

They got quite a few looks from the residents, but Mira was fully covered while restraining every bit of aura she could. She didn't want these bitches in heat to flock to her like they did yesterday so she could only hope that nobody would notice.

"This over here is the school…"

"This is the training facility…"

"This is where some of our forgers are…"

"This is…

…

Coralia kept showing them all of the places located in the residential area outside of the castle.

Mira concluded that the workings of the area outside of the castle were similar to inside the castle, it's just these people are either trying to get into the castle or lack the talent to get into the castle and become guards or assistants.

The buildings all looked exactly the same so there wasn't really much to see.

Mira also noticed that most mermaids that they came across have similar personalities. They are all very nice, affectionate, talkative, and have similar strengths. Not just in cultivation, but how they fight. None of their fighting styles are different which made Mira frown at the lack of variety.

She could tell that the techniques that they practiced were meant for underwater combat and not suited for land. They also seemed like they were focused more on fighting aquatic creatures rather than bipedal or land animals. Thus, Mira didn't speak up since they don't have a need to fight land creatures, especially when they live many kilometers under a massive ocean.

The chances of them fighting a land creature could be said to be almost zero and even if one did find this place, they'd most likely be scared off by the aura of the giant dead beast they live in.

"Well, what do you think of the city? Pretty great, right?" Coralia asked while they continued walking.

"More than the architecture, I think it's amazing how everyone is striving to better themselves and their race. Not only that, but everyone is so nice! I'd prefer staying here versus our hometown!" Maria exclaimed and Celaine agreed.

"The people here are incredibly like-minded, your war potential is quite high along with how efficient everything is, it is vastly superior to the human towns that I know and have experienced. Not only that but there isn't really a class system in place that discriminates against lower class or weaker people. Even people that don't have strength can still express their talents or get a job. It's a utopia-like place that man can only dream of…"

"...But I don't think I'd want to live in a place like this, not yet at least. Even though you can rise through the realms that many people can only dream of, I can tell that your residents lack the strength and resolve that comes with conflict."

"Even though most of the people here are stronger than me, their minds are feeble. While the fighting techniques used are really only viable against sea creatures and aren't suited for fighting against land or air creatures. I'm not speaking ill of your race as this is how you survived and gotten stronger over the years. There is also nothing wrong with what I'm saying and your way of life is perfectly suited for where you live." Mira gave an honest reply to Coralia's question.

Coralia just stood there with a dazed look, not expecting her question to be answered so seriously. She wanted to retort, but what Mira said made sense and she wasn't saying anything bad, she just said what she observed and reminded her that this isn't a place that she would personally live in.

*CLAP CLAP CLAP*

"Haha! You are exactly right, human! I'm surprised you gathered all of that in just a few hours of walking around and I'm guessing that you didn't even voice out all of your thoughts either. Truly splendid!"

They heard a voice of a young girl, maybe around 16, coming from behind them.

Mira's hair stood on end as she had a bad feeling about this new encounter and she started to regret not leaving this place yesterday.
