「… Her Majesty the Queen is just ahead」

We nodded to the Osakemans and opened the door.

───Zowa… !!

「「「!?」」」

『… Intruders. I have been waiting for you』

As we opened the heavy door, we could hear the voice directly in our heads. At the same time, we felt a tremendous sense of intimidation, and all three of us turned our heads. We managed to move forward and arrived in front of the queen of the Osakemans, who was sitting on a throne made of water.

『I called you here because I thought I smelled someone familiar…』

「「「?」」」

『Don’t tell me you turned into a little girl?』

The Queen looks at me and gives me a nostalgic look. She’s a very beautiful mermaid with big breasts… Her breasts are really big… I’ll get bigger too, right?

「… Aya is cute enough as she is」

「Y- You don’t have to say it now!」

『Kukuku! Scarlet cares about such things? She used to be so indifferent, you know?』

I’m already angry. I’ll appraise you without permission!

「……」

I couldn’t help but be touched by the two of them saying no to an obviously powerful person.

『Oh… ? Well then, this Ayane. Prove to me that you have nothing to do with Scarlet』

「E- Ehh!?」

I don’t know… Isn’t that too reckless? Proving that I’m not is also proving that I am! What to do…

『… But if you can’t do it, then you’ll have to fight me. It’s been a while since I’ve moved. And… No, it’s nothing』

「… ? … I understand」

「A- Aya, are you sure?」

「That’s right. You’re definitely gonna die, okay?」

「But even if I don’t prove it, I’m still going to die, right?」

『Because Scarlet doesn’t seem to have any power right now. You two there can join us if you want』

「Thank you!」

「We’ll do our best, but don’t get your hopes up」

「… Un. Thank you, both of you」

『Let’s get started, shall we? Oh, I forgot to mention that if I attack here, the temple will be destroyed, so I’ll keep it to about maybe a 1/100th?』

「I understand」

That said, it’s still water under the bridge. Let’s just keep on trying…

「………. fuu…」

『Raid Boss: Superclass Fish Race・Jealousy of the Great Sea Emperor Mariesta has appeared』

『Would you like to participate in a raid battle? Participants 0/10000 people』

Yes.

『… Let’s get started. Shall we start with melee combat?』

───Gyiiiin!!

「Gu!?」

Sitting on her throne with her tail fin twitching, Mariesta instantly closed the distance between us and pierced me with her magnificent trident. I deflected it with my sword and avoided it myself.

「! 《Thunder Strike》!」

───Bashu!

『Fuhahahaha! It’s not working!!』

Then Suzu’s thunder magic struck, but it didn’t seem to have any effect at all.

「Sei!!」

『Too slow!』

───Kyiiin!!

Mariesta swings her trident as she floats in the air like a swimmer. I swung my sword to deflect it, but the force was too strong. It’s probably only a few centimeters away from me.

… Why do I always end up with this kind of trouble…

※By the way, it is a specification that you can see everything in the appraisal even though there is a tremendous status difference.
