The underground labyrinth is in the sea.

When Mary spoke that way, she sighed one thing with 'Phew' and leaned against the back of her sitting chair.

"Outside the sea, I searched for it. I've been looking for everything, not just around town, but inside town. If there's an underground labyrinth now, all I can think about is the ocean that Atashi and the others have never set foot in yet."

"Right..."

Until now, I guess that's the conclusion that Meamir investigators have come up with by searching all over the place.

Is there no doubt that there is no underground labyrinth on earth?

"The sea... if the underground labyrinth is really there, it's pretty nasty"

Mina gestures like she thinks, 'Hmmm......' she roars.

I feel like roaring too.

Because when it comes to the sea of earth......

"For once, the waters beside this town are also the territory of the 'King of the Seas', right?

"That's right. That's why I couldn't get my hands on them."

One of the Seven Kings, "The King of the Sea".

Anything, he's defining the entire Earth Sea as his territory.

The dominant area is a mess.

If it's just about territory, I can definitely say he's the best king in Earth.

"But 'Fleur' is a town in contact with the sea, isn't it? So didn't you have quite a friendship with the fishermen, too?

Sakya pointed it out to Mary and the others.

This town is on land close to the sea.

If you're not close to the fishmongers, it won't be difficult to live in.

After all, what relationship do the inhabitants of this town have with the fishermen?

"It sounds like the town's residents and the fishermen are avoiding strife by basically not interfering. We trade around seafood, but we don't have a chance to talk to the fishermen."

"If we don't even get inside the ocean, the fishermen are very important."

"Really..."

I see.

Apparently, the fishermen and the inhabitants of "Fleur" are completely divided between sea and land.

If that's the case, it's still hard for us to investigate the ocean.

"When you go into the ocean, what happens?

"Right...... when Atashi and the others enter the sea, a soldier of the fishmongers who follow the king of the sea strikes without question. Pretty strong."

"You mean there's room for negotiation..."

"Hainzhong, then we have more time for him than we do. Honestly, thank you."

If there are Earthlings (players) in the water who can fight Matomo, that's about the piracy deriving from banditry and its top positions.

In contrast, it seems that the fishermen are a species that exerts unparalleled power when they are underwater.

If the Earthlings (players) were to wage battle against the fishermen at sea, there would be little chance of winning.

I had a hard look on my face, just like the Marys.

"Then why don't we also be free to operate underwater?

I've just been suggesting to us that the crawl that emerged from nowhere isn't a big deal.

I was also surprised by this and shook at the sound of Claire's voice.

Behind the crawl are also the figures of Phil, Mai and the Fire.

Did these guys happen to stop by this coffee shop, too?

"I flew in when I heard you guys could eat some delicious sweets, but I can't believe you guys are here! You surprised me!

The coincidence seems to be in Mai......

Always, you're tense.

"Oh, Phil, isn't it? Long time no see!

"! Oh, long time no see... Yes, Mr. Mary"

Mary found Phil and greeted him brightly.

"As always, Omei is a mess. Are you eating properly, Cora?

"Mmm... I'm eating right..."

The van also speaks to Phil in the way he greets the van.

Both Mary and Van look happy to see Phil.

Phil's also looking at the two of them and breaking their faces, although he's a little mozy because it's been a long time since we've seen each other again.

This is a smiling occasion now, but now let's prioritize Claire's story.

"... so, what you just said, could you give me a little more detail?

I decided to look back at Krall from Phils and listen to what I just said.

Krall said we should be able to operate freely underwater, too.

Does that mean you know something about how to counter the fishermen?

"Are you burning your hands at the fishermen because you can't move well underwater? If so, can we fight each other if we wear these things and challenge them to fight?

Claire said so, taking one accessory out of her nostalgia.

Looks like a brooch.

Something special about this... or something?

"Claire, show me some more."

"Uhm."

I had Krall hand me the brooch and I observed it for real.

"... protection of aquatic habitats?

The brooch had unfamiliar special effects.

It's the first time I've seen it, too.

Nevertheless, the effect can somehow be inferred from the name.

"With this, you can move freely around the water without having to be a fisherman! How about that! That would be awesome!

Krall's doya face was decided.

Still, it's a cute, cute look.

... or that you can move freely underwater?

Is that true?

If it's true, it's something we want so much that we can get our hands out of our throats right now.

As an indication, all but me groupies of Earthlings (players) gathered here look surprised.

"By the way, does that even work around the person wearing it?

"That's not so versatile. Only the wearer can receive the effect of this brooch!

Claire answered my question, keeping Doya's face.

No, that's not where you talk with a Doya face.

After all, you mean only one person can work underwater.

"But hang on to whoever made this brooch, and maybe they'll accommodate some of the same stuff."

"Who made it... who are you talking about?

It's Arias.

Uh, I see.

The Spirit King?

He's got a lot of rare items.

Were Phil's hair decorations and Emma's earrings also homemade?

... it's worth a try.

"Okay, then let's go to 'Alfheim'"

The policy has been decided.

First, meet the Spirit King to have the equipment provided with the protection of the aquatic habitat accommodated.

After that, we enter the sea in our gear and persuade or repel the attacking fishermen.

And when the threat of the fishermen has weakened, we will conduct a search of the underground labyrinth.

Let's do this.

"Mary, van. Thank you for sharing the details. Thanks to you, we found a breakthrough."

Standing up, I bowed deeply to Mary and Van.

The two of them helped me again.

I mean, I'm just being helped by everyone.

Later, he's even trying to make a debt to the Spirit King.

I'm even a little anxious to see if I can reward you properly.

"If you can help me, I'll be glad to hear from you."

"Arias, ask him who he is. - But maybe another time. Get the fuck out of here!

"Okay!... then let's go, guys!

I turned my back on Mary and the van and flew out of the store with Mina and the others.

"So, where is it called 'Alfheim'?

Shirazaki asked me when I left the store.

"The place is... a secret"

"Secret?"

"Oh."

For once, the whereabouts of 'Alfheim' are kept secret.

So even if you were a person in your body, you can't teach them to be wheelies.

... Thinking about it, should we leave the Shirazaki guys here?

I'm glad we all left the store momentum, but we don't all have to go to 'Alfheim' for anything.

Me and Claire go alone, but we can't do anything about it.

"To Shirazaki...... Mina, Sakuya, Mai. Will you guys wait in the dormitory?

So I asked Shirazaki and the others to wait for us to return, and I told them so.

Phil and Fire know where 'Alfheim' is, so you don't have to bother leaving them.

"You, are you going to cancel the party with me? If you're going, I'm going, too."

"... ah"

Speaking of which, you did......

I totally forgot about my promise to Shirazaki.

Or is it unacceptable to temporarily cancel a party?

How long will this promise last?

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute! If you're going to" Alfheim, "I'm going, too! If you mean to wait here, there's no point in missing a sweet meal at an earlier store!

Following Shirazaki, even Mai began to leak dissatisfaction.

Then you can turn back to the store and eat the sweets now... If you say so, then you might be told not to create an atmosphere where everyone leaves the store in the first place.

Is it my fault that I didn't act after thinking about it properly in the store?

"Why shouldn't we all go to a place called 'Alfheim'?

"No... not like that..."

Sakuya asked me, so I gave her the answer even though I was polypolizing my cheeks.

I used to take outsider children to Alfheim.

Again, if you take care not to know where that country is, you won't be blamed... maybe.

"... okay, let's all go. But if you're going, make sure you're not crude."

"Yay!

When I gave up persuasion and everyone decided to go to 'Alfheim', Mai jumped well.

Mai is an overall curious girl, not just food.

I guess I was also interested in a place called 'Alfheim', regardless of how the sweets in the store were.

Oh, my God, it's a land of spirits.

Thus we decided to head to Alfheim once.
