Even Posing as a Hero is Easy–Why? Cause I’m a God–

Episode 103: Negotiating Mermaid Island!

Sea in a few days.

The ship was proceeding through the reef zone.

A sailor at the bow raises his hand with a flag diagonally and screams.

"Rock to the right!

"Left low speed, straight ahead"

The outer ring on the left slows down and the ship turns back to the left. Incidentally, the angle at which the flag was raised was the direction of the reef.

I squeal as I watch from around the stern.

I'm glad you're on the outer ship.

The outer ships change the depth of the water left and right because of the waves when they travel through the sea, and they really get energy loss.

Instead, the pivoting performance is so high that it was suitable for taking a fine path.

But I can't see the island shadow this way.

Ask Luna beside you.

"Are you sure there's a mermaid living ahead?

"Ugh, yeah... I guess. Because they went in the water..."

I looked worried and leaned down. The red-headed jellyfish swayed plenty.

At that time, a small shadow crossed the sky diagonally.

"Ooh. The seabirds are flying. Proof of proximity to land."

"Really!? I'm glad."

Luna jumped small. Lapiscia was also jumping pimpy about what was fun.

◇ ◇ ◇

Hours later.

By the time the sun leaned west, I felt a lukewarm thrust through some curtain. They've broken through a special juncture.

Then suddenly, before my eyes, a green island appeared.

A small island that would be able to circle for an hour.

In the middle of the island, the woods stretched out, surrounded by white sandy beaches.

The mermaids of beautiful women and girls who were on the beach and rocks scream.

"Yikes! I'm human!" "There's a human coming in!" "They'll kidnap you!

He jumps into the ocean one after the other, saying people like monsters.

I was watching from the top of the deck.

"This should be done in small numbers."

"Right, Kaika."

Celica nodded next door.

"Captain, put the anchor and the boat down."

"I'll take care of it!

Along with the prestigious reply, the boat is dropped off handily.

Then I wrapped my elongated body around the top of the mast, and when I did, Naga's nana came down.

"Shall I go ahead and talk to you?

"Are the Naga and Mermaids close?

"Uh... I guess, it's a lot"

"I'm sorry, but I think I'm panicking lightly, please."

"Yes. I'm coming"

Nana flushed her brown hair and jumped from the boat to the sea. Keep swimming through the sea level with a snake body.

Just in case, check mermaid status in Chirii Eye and Truth Eye.

Almost everyone was good at magic.

There were plenty of magic attacks and state abnormal magic, but the defenses and magic defenses were outnumbered by Nana.

- If this is the case, don't get help in time even if you get attacked.

I also use "Heard More" to see how things are going.

The mermaids, who saw Nana, raise their voices of surprise.

"La, it's Lamia!" "No more - they kill us all... oh?" "That girl, not Naga?

Nana, rising to the beach, bowed her head closer to the mermaid she was deliberately discussing.

"Nice to meet you, Nana of the Naga tribe. Rest assured we are a line of brave men."

"" "Brave man!?

The mermaids gathered their voices of surprise.

Seeing how it goes, successively the escaped mermaids gather on the white sandy beach.

"Looks like you made it."

"I'm glad I solved the misunderstanding."

"By the way, I mean mermaids are exposed, why not?

"I've heard that eating mermaid meat rejuvenates you."

"I see. That's a story I've heard somewhere. Is that why you're on guard? - Uh-huh."

If it's true, mermaids have no alternative but to live in hiding.

It's pretty hard to solve a misunderstanding even if it's superstition......

It may be difficult to help and be a believer.

"Anyway, go"

"Yes, Kaika."

We took the boat we had prepared and headed to the island. The Lunas swam and followed behind.

◇ ◇ ◇

When we got to the beach, a group of mermaids came. Musculoskeletal mermaids.

I've been swimming with blisters up luxuriously. I have a net or a wax. They were out fishing.

When everyone came to the waves, the most able-bodied man at the head sat in a chair and talked. Muscles built up into long, wavy hair.

"You're a brave man. Right. I am the king of mermaids, Garland."

"I'm Kaika the Brave. I came to help these kids when I heard their parents were being held captive."

I pointed to the runners behind me.

Garland looked down.

"I don't agree with that. I joined the Demon Clan. Besides, it's unforgivable to be the wife of that Four Heavens King, etc. Children will soon become terrible demons."

"Even the Demons are good. I think you should sell your favors from now on, huh?

"Why not?

I answered with a strained chest.

"Because I'm going to make Luna the ruler of the ocean"

"What!? You mean give the Demons a hand, brave man!

Garland peeled his eyes and yelled.

But my resolve is unshakeable.

From the time I saw Luna's status [Divine Beast], I was wondering if I could build a relationship I couldn't have built with Evil Squid.

I asked Lapisia to get along, too, to have it between people and demons.

Well, I don't have to tell you, the three near-age Lapisia, Luna and Nana used to chat.

I said.

"So let Luna's mother go free. That way I won't make it worse."

Luna came to the side and said in an anxious voice.

"Duh, why not...?

I put my hand on the confused Luna jellyfish head. Feels good to touch a little.

I blush my cheeks and crouch.

I said with a smile.

"For men, for the sea, for the devils, and for you."

"Because of you..."

"People and demons are sure to understand each other. That may be too much to say, but I can go out with you intentionally. Hopefully the Demon King's influence is gone. I've just been looking at it lately."

The hell Marquis created, the better he thought about it. People and goblins mow the grass shoulder to shoulder, Auga and the Beastman grip the hammer and blacksmith, and people, fairies and vampires make cheese together. Such a sight.

Talking about it, Garland skewed his face sincerely. Luna had her mouth open with a poker.

"Oh, is that real..."

"Wow. I can't believe I can follow every race! You're going to be the Demon King!

"Stop that idea... but do you? Your main skill was Assassin. The Marquis or his men might be able to tell us."

"Really!?... Ah, I want to see you. As it is now, I'm ready to go."

Luna said, shaking the jellyfish and gaining momentum.

Garland snorts deeply.

"That won't help us either."

"Help?"

"Now every day and night, the demons are fighting a duel. With Luna, this island is also at high risk of being attacked by demons"

"Ah...... Oh."

Luna leaned down to grief.

So you just kicked out the Lunas?

"I'm sorry, brave man. I have to protect my family, too."

"I would have done the same if I were in the same position. All right, if you let me see my mother, Luna and I will take them. When the ruler settles down, welcome him in then."

"Thank you, brave man"

Garland bowed his head deeply. Wavy hair shakes.

"Is that okay with Luna, too?

"I want to be stronger! Yu-sha, I want to take you down!

"That's what I meant."

Garland shouted with his hand next to his mouth.

"Somebody, get Kristia out of jail!

A man with a spear in the distance said, "Yes!" I replied.

Garland told Luna.

"Sorry, Luna."

"Thank you, king."

"Good for now. - Hmm?"

Megna rocked her tail and came closer.

"Kaika, brother. We could have dinner."

Looking at the sandy beach, freshly caught fresh fish, shellfish and seagrass were lined up all the time.

I hear Megna cooked that.

A good smell drifts this far.

"Well, thank you - let's all eat then"

"Um," "Yes."

We headed to a table set up on the beach.

◇ ◇ ◇

At dusk the beach had become a lively ballroom.

A male mermaid plays an instrument and the female mermaids sing in a beautiful voice.

The liquor is served and everyone is smiling and drinking and mouthing the dish.

Megna's dishes are moistened twisted soups, wrapped in pie dough with musseled shellfish, and steamed and softened fish. Seagrass salad.

Apparently, the mermaid dish had to be baked or boiled, and this dish was highly regarded as a delicious dish I had never eaten.

Praiseworthy Meña was as faceless as usual, but I didn't miss the fact that her ears were happily moving piccolorly.

Fun cheer continues. Because of the booze, I was breaking it down.

Kids, including Lapisia and Luna, are delighted to have sausages.

Only Nana of Naga was adored like a mascot elsewhere. The magical silver breast and paleo skirt, specially ordered at Dollar Earth, seemed topical. Adorable floral pattern and suits Nana.

To such a bustling banquet hall on the beach, a beautiful female mermaid appeared, taken by a mermaid.

I'm rocking purple hair like a wave. A neat face that makes the runa .

I noticed Luna rushing out with her red tentacles and hair backwards.

"Ohhhh!!

"Luna!

The two hugged each other on the beach. Rub her face against my mother's chest and Luna cries.

Soon his young siblings rushed over and cling.

Mother - Christia stroked the jellyfish heads of the children gently and evenly, even as she wept.

- This will help if you cooperate a little bit.

Well, I can tell you it's easier to be resented.

For some reason it was a mystery that Lapisia was also rushing over and hugging her.

I put my gaze back on myself and resumed my meal.

I think of it and ask Garland.

"Is it true that eating mermaid meat makes you young?

"I'm determined by that kind of superstition. But those who aim at us are constant..."

Garland faces bitterly.

- Is it superstition? This could be a chance to increase the number of believers.

Put your hand on your chin and say as you think.

"Hmm. Then why don't you solve that misunderstanding?

"Duh, how?!?

"We have to interact with people and correct them."

"It's too dangerous! If I could, I'd be doing it a long time ago!

Garland shakes her hair and roughs her voice.

But I laughed and said.

"You don't have to deny youthfulness"

"Huh? What do you mean?

"First you get close to people. Then you can ask them if they're going to be rejuvenated by eating mermaids, as they are now, or if they're going to be rejuvenated by eating them from here. I'm sure I can only answer to the extent of the rumors. And here's what I'm gonna say."

Garland said, sipping his sauce.

"What do you say?

"I say it because it's you I trust. Eating meat doesn't rejuvenate you. Mermaids eat at festivals, and a dish has a rejuvenating effect. I'm sure whoever ate the mermaid that was caught right after the festival just rejuvenated, this is our only secret. Don't tell anyone, just say it. And then the rumors will spread on their own."

When I was done, Garland looked at me with the sight of something incredible.

"Are you really a brave man... surely the mermaid would be safer now if that way... how much worse..."

"Huh. It works better to use it than to deny people's desires. And it's worse to believe in superstition or to be fooled."

But -, and Garland thinks with a shitty arm.

"Would there be a dish that would be so convenient to fool..."

I laughed with my nose.

"You're an oyster. It has a vigorous effect. If you feed a tired middle-aged man, you'd mistake him for being young. Cooking that with ingredients that humans have never eaten would well mislead them. I can make sure I'm safe if I tell you that there are only a few types of mermaids taught. You can use magic."

Garland was flashy. The way the open mouth doesn't get blocked.

"... that's a terrible thing to be brave about. I'm so glad I didn't hostile you."

"And then you have to interact with me, make it stand out as being under protection and it's perfect."

"What can I do?

"Easy. You can place mermaids anywhere that matters to me, and you can place bronze statues of the brave Kaika here."

"Does that work...? No, with the protection of the brave, can't people just say hey...... hmm. Sounds worth a try."

"Oh, good luck with that. I'll work with you."

"Thank you, brave Kaika."

Garland and I exchanged hard handshakes. His manly grin had white teeth glowing.

All right, now you should be able to increase the number of believers.

After that, it opened up because the night was getting late.

We're going back to the boat in a boat.

During the breakup, I asked Garland.

"Hey, tell me one thing. I feel the number of mermaids is high, but were the mermaids attacked by the demons of the sea?

"No. It's been a peaceful decade."

"I mean, I guess Evil Squid ruled the ocean more than we all thought,"

"No way! Are you saying you were protecting me... ugh!

"I don't think it's that impossible to build a world where people, demons, beasts and mermaids can all live. - See you later."

"Oh... have a good dream"

We broke up with the mermaid and headed back to the ship.

Luna was waiting on the deck. The jellyfish head is shaking meticulously.

"Yusha..."

"What's the matter, darkness?

"No! Um... I can't forgive you, but... oh, thank you for saving me."

Luna bowed her head deeply.

"It's nothing I've done for myself. Never mind."

"But I... thought I'd never see you again. - Thank you so much."

Luna bowed over and over again. Tears glow in the light of the moon.

Though I'm surprised by the tears from my heart, I think.

Maybe he was looking for a place to die.

Days when my father is killed, my mother is imprisoned, and I desperately flee to protect my young siblings. It's a new breed, so I'm unfamiliar, and I'm in the middle of a duel evolution battle and I can't rely on anyone.

Eight directions blocked in an endlessly wide sea.

In a young child, he would have gotten tired of the hedgehog.

- Is there room for discretion in the circumstances?

I said while scratching my head.

"- Oh well. Good luck with your enemies."

"Ugh, yeah......"

I stroked Luna's head. The softness of trembling in your hands. But she didn't hate just blushing in embarrassment.

Then I left the place.

Walk down the hallway alongside Celica.

Drunken celica dyed her cheeks delightfully and brought it to me. Exhalation is hot.

"Dear Kaika... Thank you for your concern"

"Hmm? Oh, you've helped the mermaids. We're going to see if it works."

"That's not all... don't discriminate against young children... Kaika is kind to you, and I like you more and more... ahhh"

Celica tried to hide her bright red face to her ear by pressing it against my arm.

I held Celica's thin shoulder as I walked.

"Celica...... wasn't I wrong?

"Hmm... Kaika is always right"

"Right. - Thank you."

"I can't thank you... I'm just happy to be beside you Kaika"

Then I walked silently.

I walked into the room with her in my arms and slept with her as she hugged her.
