Atai's name is Pafa.

A criminal mermaid who ate five hundred years of imprisonment in a mermaid court.

But a mermaid country is really small in terms of liver balls and nostalgia.

I didn't even understand Atai's great research, so I let him interrupt until he broke into the barn.

Had Atai's research been successful, the Mermaid Nation would have risen to the world's greatest power to eradicate landowners as well by now.

But unfortunately, the glorious future disappeared like a fairy tale princess.

By the bloodshed of some obscure people.

That's enough.

Because of this, Atai was trying to use this precious brains and magic for the Mermaids, and if you say you're in the way, you don't do anything anymore.

The Mermaids continue to devour tranquillity and inebriation, and are destroyed by demons and humans alike.

With that in mind, I spent every day in solitary confinement without any excitement..., after about ten years?

Atai was suddenly let out.

And he was told that, in fact, it had not been two years since he was given the verdict.

Shit, are you serious?

Life without anything in solitary confinement is too boring and too painful.

I can't believe it feels like more than a decade in less than two years.

It's too spicy a punishment for a genius like Atai who thinks a few times faster than a regular person.

When you're done with me again, they're gonna put you back in your cell?

Shit, if you can't get out of here till you're dead anyway, you should just put me to death, right?

Or so I thought, in the visiting room ahead of me when I was sent out of my cell, I met someone I never thought I would.

Oh ya, handsome ♡

To the extent that I thought so, he was a handsome man with a face shape.

"I, King Nagas, ruler of the Mermaid Nation, am the eldest son of Aloina. Have you ever heard of that name?

If you think so, you're a prince!?

It should be reasonable and handsome. No, you're not.

Top of Atai's hated institutional side. The king of the future.

Shit, I lost it sometimes.

"There's one Frenzy Six Witches, you must be in the Frozen Witches puffer?

Stop it, that nickname.

A kickin 'kid twisted his head so hard I thought about it. I'm so embarrassed with the feeling.

"Majored in the theory of manipulation of submarine mana streams, where research is prohibited under the laws of mermaid countries. Suspected of trying to destroy a manipulative mermaid country while thinking of mana in the sea? You deserve to be sentenced to a life sentence."

That's why I'm not!

If Atai's theory of chanting is put into practice, it's also possible to destroy the world, which means it's as practical as that!

We're just talking about having to abuse it!!

"The debate around it is scattered out at trial. Now let's just lay it down."

You're just gonna leave it there?

So what brings you here to see Atai?

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

Deal?

"The sentence handed down to you is five hundred years' imprisonment in a ditch jail. Normally, it's a very unlikely period to serve while you're alive. But I made it possible to reduce my sentence by changing the type of punishment."

Seriously.

How long do you think prison terms are gonna shrink?

"Ten years."

Huh?

Ten years?

Five hundred years in prison is four hundred and ninety years?

"No, you're not. Five hundred years in prison means ten years in prison."

Are you serious?

Do it! I'll do it!!

I'll switch. Penalty. If you can be free in just ten years, you just want it!!

"I've been eating tea out of tea!?... but okay? Without asking what exactly the new punishment is……!?"

You're smoking till you die in such a boring place. Absolutely better!

I need you to go through the process now! Before some idiot came up with such a big chance to say "I knew I'd quit" or something!!

"Ok ok......! Then Puffer, the Frozen Witch, says' OK '. Now you've got one man filled."

You got a quorum. Shit!

I knew I was glad I accepted it instantly! I'm so glad I didn't get lost in Heta saying "I'm already due to apply" or something!!

"Then I'll have you wait until the interview with the rest of the candidates is over. I'll call you again when I've decided to blush. And ask them to head to a new place of service. By the way, I'm going to go from jail to jail, so I'm going to."

Yes, yes! You mean put him in labor!

Boredom is a lot more painful for Atai, so it's more helpful!

This is a great day! I feel like I've been released normally!

Let me finish the interview and pick you up! I'm waiting for you!

Then the prince!

I forgot to ask you something important!

You have a girlfriend now!?

Thus Atai was to serve a new sentence in New Heaven and Earth.

There are two other prisoners who make similar choices to Atai and go to New Heaven and Earth with Atai.

Both were names I heard.

"The Witch of Hellfire" Lampeye.

"Witch of the Plague" Gala Rufa.

Both, like Atai, are one of the six Frenzy Witches.

It sucks.

Frenzy Six Witches is an embarrassing call, but the strength of the people counted among its members, the crazy ones, is real.

What does Atai himself say in that bracket...

What kind of place is the new prison where half of the six witches are put together?

I don't suppose Atai and the others will be put in as a special attack force on the battlefield of the Lu people, right?

Well, still, it's better at all than getting bored in a cell until you're Baba.

Swimming while being strictly escorted by the mermaids...

How long?

I swim blindfolded, so I have no idea where I swim.

And here we are.

It was land.

Ha!?

A new place to serve in Atai is land!?

"Arrival!!"

said the prince who was accompanying Atai and the others.

"This is the pioneering place where the Temple of Saints lives! I ask you to serve your labour here as of today, in accordance with the orders of the Temple of Saints!! That is the new punishment for you!!"
