The softness of my heart is almost gone.
What I stole is clothes. But I sensed something more than that from Ryleigh-kun’s way of speaking.
I startled and looked around. . . everyone was looking at me.
Apparently, everyone came to the uninhabited island with Gyabussh.
. . . This is not good.

“There is a reason for this. . .”

With eyes that have lost their light, I will explain.
How I came to the uninhabited island and why I was wearing Hurst-san’s clothes.
When I asked, they all agreed.
. . . . That’s good.
Furthermore, Shizuku-chan brought a change of clothes.
So, I changed my clothes and succeeded in returning them to Hurst-san.
And so, after finishing everything, I decided to tell them about Mikariam-kun.
Elja-san, the crown prince, is also there, so be careful. Don’t put yourself and Mikariam-kun at a disadvantage.
That’s what I thought, but. . .

“Hahaha! Amazing! You really are a mermaid!”

Hearing my story and seeing Mikariam-kun’s tail fin, Elja-san’s purple eyes sparkled.
Elja-san is laughing with a broken face.
Other people are surprised and seem to be thinking, but Elja-san looks very happy.
I also explained that Mikariam-kun’s tears would turn into pearls, and let them actually see it.

“Hahaha! Really! Your tears turned into magic stones! There is such a thing!”

Finally, he laughed so hard that he began to hold his stomach.
You’re listening to me properly, but maybe you’re laughing a little too much. . .?

“So, umm, I thought that if Mikariam-kun wiped his tears, they wouldn’t turn into pearls, so I thought it would be fine if he managed them properly. . .”

“You’re tears will turn into pearls, so you should wipe them before that happens! It’s a natural idea, and it’s like Shina-kun!”

As for pearls, I don’t particularly pursue them either. He laughed.
I’m curious, but Elja-san is laughing really happily, so for now, let’s move on.

-A magic fish that obtains a pearl can escape from the magic sea.
-Mikariam-kun can use magic fish.
-It was not a coincidence that the magic fish attacked the port, it was Mikariam-kun’s intention.

. . . That was his single-minded desire to meet me.

“Mikariam-kun seems to have been born recently. He heard my voice and wanted to see me no matter what.”

“Mika wanted to meet Shina. If Shina doesn’t want it, I won’t do it anymore.”

“Yes! I see! In other words, did you mean that Shina-kun was the cause?”

Elja-san laughing Hahaha!, I firmly convinced him.
With a snap and a wink.

“I received a report from Thruster, but Shina-kun was able to summon the magic beasts, right? If there is a mermaid and the mermaid can bring the magic fish out of the magic sea and control them, then things will change.”

Happy purple eyes.
However, there is something serious about it, and he is staring at me as if to test me.
So, I nodded at those eyes and said, ‘I understand’, then moved my gaze to Mikariam-kun.

“Mikariam-kun. What do you think of the magic fish?”

“What do I think?”

“I don’t want to defeat them if you’re good friends. . .”
“Mika doesn’t get along with others.”

“Is it okay if I turn the magic fish into fish here?”

“Yes!”

I confirm with Mikariam-kun about the magic fish.
It doesn’t look like he’s saying that because he cares about me or is trying to force himself.
For Mikariam-kun, the magic fish doesn’t seem to be something like ‘He listens to what I say because he’s a good friend.’
As Hurst-san said, it seems that magic fish are only used by people who they recognize as a superior species.

“Well then, there’s something I want Elja-san to see. . .”

“For me?”

“Yes. I think it’s faster for you to actually see it.”

“Yeah, I got it!”

“Then let’s move to the beach.”

We approached the sea from the beach we were talking about.
So I prepared. . .

“. . . This is a kitchen knife.”

. . . .It is a kitchen knife (sacred sword).

“Mikariam-kun, I want you to call me a magic fish.”

“Yeah! Got it! Wait!”

Hearing my request, Mikariam-kun entered the magic sea.
After awhile, Mikariam-kun came back and pointed his finger at me.

“Yeah. It’s really a magic fish! Just like you told me.”

In front of Mikariam-kun’s finger, a magic fish was looking at me with it’s dorsal fin and eyes sticking out of the sea.
The reason why it doesn’t come to the beach is probably because the sea isn’t deep enough.

“Come here!”

“Gyo!”

So wave my hand towards it.
Then, the magic fish towards me.
And. . .

“Be delicious!”

. . .Roar, holy sword! (kitchen knife)

“. . . . .So”

Fish bouncing on the sandy beach.
It seems to be a different type than the one on the wharf, with red scales shining on its back.

. . . This is red sea bream!

“Nothing Elja-san should worry about. I swear that Mikariam-kun and I will only use this ability for fishing.”

. . .Yes. This ability is for fishing.

“It’s a mermaid fishery.”

. . . Safe and secure.

I stare back at the purple eyes that were looking at me seriously.
Then, Elja-san opened his mouth wide.

“Mermaid fishery”

And then, that face crumbled away. . .

“Wait a minute. . . Wait a minute. . . Seriously, what are you saying. . . With that serious face. . . Wait a minute!”

It’s not his usual laughter.

“Hey! Shina-kun makes me laugh too much!”

He can’t stop even if he wants to.

“A mermaid fishery. . .! You swear that you will only use that power for fishing. . .! The fangs of the King of Beasts are being used like this. . .!”

That’s how he laughed.

“My stomach hurts!”

Elja-san held his stomach and laughed.

 

I wonder if the kitchen knife is the reason that the magic beasts came to Shina or if it’s just her. The first time it happened was after she already had the knife. And I wonder if she could do other things with that knife other than just make them be delicious. . .
