in the deep sea of the South Sea. A castle made of coral and quartz. It was bright and beautiful as if the sun had risen in the water thanks to the swarms of halo jellyfish roaming around the castle.
Unlike the castle outside the water, there was an entrance at the highest level and the king’s throne at the lowest level.
A long throne resembling a huge shell made of pearls, mother-of-pearl, and gold that does not fade even in water.
A tall mermaid man with light blue skin and fin ears was lying on top of it, looking bored.
“You haven’t come yet.”
“There’s no way I could have handed over Levinia right away. There’s no way that Levinia, who couldn’t fully awaken her power, would have killed that child.”
Being a mermaid with a lower body that turns into a tail instead of legs in the water instead of on land, the man who was responding moved his tail fin and turned around in the water.
“Did you run away together?”
Then, a mermaid woman swam up and opened her mouth, her dark green hair like seaweed waving in the water.
The white shark skin armor and the white cloth tied around the waist made her hair look even darker.
“No way. It would be more likely that I suddenly encountered a large monster.”
“Why, I don’t know. You must have been pitiful now.”
“That kid? You sympathize with Levinia? Arthur. If I had been certain that I would become as strong as my older brother, I would have eaten Levinia like a jellyfish.”
While the two of them were exchanging a few words, a large mermaid man lying on the throne of a giant shell touched his chin.
“You go. And somehow, use a trait to report it.”
The woman’s expression crumpled as the tall man pointed his finger at the mermaid woman.
“Do you know how tricky it is to send a fish with your voice? Besides, I have to prepare several of them because I am afraid they will be eaten in the middle. It’s hard on the stomach.”
“If you want to do it, do it. nibiz.”
At those coercive words, a mermaid woman called Niviz ran the back of her hand through her dark green hair that was flowing upward.
“I’m so annoyed! Be prepared, I will rake out a lot of jewels later.”
“As long as you do the right thing.”
“Can’t I just go and see, and get the bail?”
Seeing the two of them, the mermaid man who was spinning swallows in the water raised his hand and spoke.
“what. It’s mine, stupid.”
Then, in case someone would come after him, he quickly swam upwards, and the mermaid man pushed by the current swam as if floating and approached the large man.
“Aren’t they coming soon?”
“okay. It will be coming soon.”
“It’s a little tight. When are you going to break out of that squishy child? Originally, in addition to a huge amount of magic stones, you also need the blood of the king. Otherwise, it takes time for the blood in the body to awaken.”
“That’s something you only say when you’re going to have a proper coming-of-age ceremony. It can be done in a day as long as you make the outer shape.”
“… Are you going to use that? Well, using it will cause a lot of pain, but it’s comfortable, from our point of view.”
With her powers sealed, she cannot reappear as a mermaid, said to be the most powerful of the mermaids, and she must live forever in human form.
“Then he would never be able to become king.”
At the words of the giggly mermaid man, the tall man also laughed.

“A bath is so nice… … . I feel like I’m near an underwater volcano… … .”
I admired Levinia’s body lying on the soft sofa like a baked rice cake.
‘How can I not touch that?’
This is a temptation that is hard to resist for living beings with a sense of touch.
It looks smooth and moist, as well as shiny and soft.
“Besides, the rice is delicious, and the rice is delicious!”
“Our Zero cooks well.”
If he doesn’t have anything to do, he won’t be able to make a living by opening a restaurant other than the king of doppelgangers.
If it opens later, I will fully support it.
I quietly sat down next to Levinia and showed my hand, then slowly put it on her head and caressed it.
A soft, soft, moist and warm body like a water cake that wraps around your hand.
In addition, Levinia went one step further and wriggled her short, chubby fingers to ask her to scratch it.
I opened my mouth, scratching every nook and cranny of Levinia’s hard-to-reach back.
“Isn’t it better than a cave?”
“… good.”
“Then won’t you come with me?”
Levinia, who seemed to be sleepy at my words, strained her eyes for a moment, then raised her head and answered in her own way.
“You need to think about that.”
But even that moment. I scratch it again and it melts again like rice cake on a pan.
“Even if that’s not the case, I want to ask you one favor.”
“Oh, cool. What?”
I moved my gaze outside the cabin and opened my mouth in a small whisper.
“Kane, the man who saved you earlier.”
“You were the one who saved me.”
“It’s Kane. Anyway, he’s a bit injured, can you take care of him later?”
At my words, she turned her body like a rice cake and started scratching her belly as she watched Levinia scratch her belly with her front paws.
“I did feel it before. He’s very strong, but… … .”
Levinia blinked her round eyes.
“The inherent energy is so violent and rough, and it is incredibly unstable while pretending to be stable. know?”
I tilted my head to one side when he said that if I was by his side, mana from my body would be sucked in as well.
I couldn’t feel mana properly, so I didn’t know that, right?
Well, considering the second half of the original work, it would be necessary to fill the body with enough mana that humans could not hold.
However, originally, while continuing to face death or being persecuted and enduring with evil, he continued to confront the assassination squad, the pursuers of the evil denomination, and the bounty hunters, using mana to the bottom several times and then collecting it again.
It’s different now.
If you do that, it will be four months. In a way that wasn’t neat or something.
‘Besides, I’m not feeling well, isn’t it worse if I collect excessive mana?’
“What do you think would be best?”
When I took out the grapes from the subspace, he looked like he was about to take a bite of them with the stems.
“it’s good! First of all, the channel of mana flowing through the human body of Kane is in a slightly broken state, so it’s better to fix it and refining all the attribute mana that is being absorbed recklessly.”
Also our healer. I read a lot of stone tablets related to treatment before running away to the island, so I know a lot about this side.
I asked again, stroking the bouncy hair as if it were admirable.
“Can you?”
“I can, but. I’m just before the coming-of-age ceremony, so I’m running out of mana… … .”
Suddenly those big eyes become moist. I looked at it and opened my mouth.
“Is it replaced with a magic stone?”
“Kane is too strong. You’ll need a huge amount of magic stones to pierce the flow in your body and heal it. I know you’re a human aristocrat, but if you do something wrong, you’ll end up broke?”
Levi said again, touching his stomach after eating all the grapes.
“So it would be better to control yourself and let it recover little by little. It will take three years, but if you’re that strong, you won’t even care about damage to your mana circuit by meeting decent opponents.”
3 years?
Absolutely not.
“How much do you need?”
Turning Kruger’s ring once, he smiled.
From noble mtl dot com.
Money is what I am more confident than anyone else on this continent. Throw away 3 years to save some money?
There’s no way.
I moved my hand in the air to open the subspace upside down and started pouring the magic crystals onto the floor.
“uh. uh. uh?”
From small ones the size of a fingernail to large ones bigger than a fist.
At the feast of the magic stones piled up at the feet of the sofa, Levi spun his body like a spring and stood up.
“Are you a prince? No, even a prince would carry something like this?”
“how is it? Would this be possible?”
It’s cute how he rolled off the sofa and came down to the floor, grabbed the magic stones one by one with his plump hands, and looked at them with a wow.
“It’s good to have this much!”
Levi picked up only a part of the magic crystals piled on the floor, glanced at me, and wiggled his hands.
“Can I give you this if I follow you?”
I asked while looking at him with twinkling eyes, but who can say no to this?
It feels a bit like going to the pharmacy with my young nephew and choosing the President Po Vitamin, which is expensive and contains 100% vitamin C.
“Even if you don’t come with me after all, I’ll give you what you need.”
If Levi is not with us and is going to stand alone, he will need something other than his ability as a healer, so we can help him awaken.
Because if you go with me, you can’t help but see blood.
At first, I only thought of Levy as an elegant lady.
Because it was Levi, who had a thirst for revenge and freedom under a benevolent smile that seemed to be drawn. I thought it would be safer and happier going with us, so I came to pick you up.
‘Actually, bringing her out before being taken to the wedding might have been the end of my job.’
I said I don’t need it right now, and I picked up Levy, who returned the magic crystal, and put it back on the sofa.
“I will help you do what you want, I.”
“… I don’t know why you are nice to me.”
I sat down at the table in front of the sofa and grinned.
“I told you. I have Ye Jian.”
“What about the future me?”
At my words, Levy asked with her watery blue eyes shining.
the original you It was always quiet and sometimes sang, and if someone got hurt during a party, even if it was a desert, he healed them exhausted, and sometimes he turns into a child. He hates humans! It was the lady who shouted,
“Humans are fun, too,” he said, holding an apple and laughing.
When I playfully say it, a question mark appears above Levy’s head.
I laughed out loud after hitting a drip that only I know in this world.
“Then, when should I call Kane?”
How long will it take to fix? At my question, Levi’s round head tilted over.
“I’ve only glimpsed the flow so far, so I’ll have to take a good look at it again, but less than three years!”
Oh, that’s right.
“Then call Kane a little later and see you.”
At my words, Levy nods, but someone knocks and enters.
“Adelian.”
“What’s up, Zero?”
In the meantime, Kane must have been touring the nearby island, and there is a coconut in Zero’s hand.
And strangely, it has something similar to the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.
“It is toasted coconut. They say it’s sweeter than just drinking it, and the flesh is easy to eat.”
Zero laughed as he cut something like a reed and inserted it like a straw and gave it to Levy and me one by one.
“And that. Elise says that looking at the sky, it looks like it will rain for a few days and be windy. No matter how much magic stones you pour into a shield, it is dangerous to penetrate the vortex zone in such a climate.”
“You mean you have to stay for a few days?”
Zero nodded at the words I said while sucking on a reed straw and taking a sip of the sweet water.
“Ominous. It’s a cliché that enemies will come to you if you’re caught like this. Since the guy who came to pick up Levy hasn’t returned, it looks like he’ll at least send out reconnaissance.”
I smiled as I stroked Levi, who was drinking the delicious coconut water.
“Look at Kane and go ambush on that island, yes.”
I’ll come no matter who comes, so I’ll catch it before I go back and report it.
