Golden Experience

─ ─ Found it.

A forest of seaweeds that thrives on the ocean floor.

I found small fish swarming in one of the shark carcasses that fell into the forest.

Even if it's a small fish, it's bigger than Envy, who's 'pseudo-'.

It's bigger than a common human if you put it in the tail. No, that's closer to human than fish. It would be better to tell human beings that fish tails are growing.

The tip of the ankle is a complete fish fin and swims with the tail and the fin.

Fish like people. People like fish. Definitely. That's what Mother Dragon said.

The hands that are not used for swimming have something like a shark, and they use the blade at the tip of the shark to cut the shark into pieces.

Envy activated the "Book of Darkness" to hide his flashy appearance.

I've seen Emperor Squid do similar things before. Though it wasn't magic.

Even at this seafloor, where there is little light, there is a dim brightness thanks to the light emitted by the luminescent seaweed. The middle layer is darker than the sea.

Then he approached the mermaids in the darkness, and waited for the work to be finished.

Eventually they finished their work and swam through the woods with shark fillets in both hands.

Swim through the woods carefully to avoid losing sight of it.

There must be a submarine kingdom ruled by the Emperor ahead of these fishmongers.

After seeing King Ippiara and completing his report, the first squad leader came out of the castle.

The long living king was so careful that he would never touch the sinking monster's corpse.

In the position of the 1st Division Captain, I have no authority to order other officers, but there was a fighter head during the observation, so he will notify each team.

Not necessarily nobody gives a crap on the body before the order infiltrates, but even if you're the captain who keeps the team, you should be able to squeeze your subordinates out of careless behavior in such abnormal situations.

< ─ ─ This is... Aren't you the first squad leader of a glorious warrior squad?

Looking up, the 2nd division captain is swimming with some kind of good face.

This man seems to have a strong rivalry with the 1st Division Captain and is a troublesome man to bite into if anything happens.

Second Squad Captain. Is that a report?

Yes, we have a case to report to His Majesty as soon as possible.

You, too.

And the first squad? However, in that case, it seems that your team was all useless.....

You think I'm a bum? What kind of luggage do you need to get back to the report?

Of course, that's an achievement. Our team has discovered and recovered so much prey.

Prey? Recovery? I can't believe it....

No way, King Ippiara said never to touch that body.

King's, no, fighter's orders were too slow.

Yes, when the 1st Squad Captain was afraid, the darkness surrounded him.

The darkness resembles the ink of the emperor squid, but I don't feel the smell characteristic of squid.

This effect of taking away only light is probably magical.

Magic! Someone's attacking us! Guarding the castle ─ ─

What the hell!? I can't see! Oh, my God! Hey, somebody...

Envy broke into the undersea kingdom and discovered a castle with a king.

The impact crushed several nearby fishmongers, but this is trivial.

Rather, it is more problematic that a beautiful castle shining in seven colors is illuminated by the light emitted by seaweed, and that part of it collapses.

This beautiful castle made of coral is worthy of Envi's master, not the Mermaids. I was going to dedicate the castle to my master when this was over.

However, I was unfamiliar with the current size of my own body and the "pseudo-state", so I cut off the castle with a part of my tail.

Envy felt sad.

What is that?

< Large...!? No, it's bigger than the big one! You call it a super large!

I've never seen a monster before! Fish, beast, dragon, what the hell is this?

< No, more than that, how could a monster of this size be in the back of this forest...!

Straw and small fish emerge from the destroyed castle. Mermaids.

We may still be in here for this.

If it's the size of Envy now, you can't grab it with a wing-shaped chest tightening for each castle, but it's not good to have extra stuff inside.

The fishmongers who came out also heard a deafening voice. The Mermaid is using Ella to vibrate the water and communicate with it. The configuration patterns of the languages used are very similar to those used by Rare and Vinea. Envy soon understood.

< ─ ─ It was a small fish. You can lose it. Give me this castle, squid.

I imitated the way the mermaids did it, and Envy talked consciously about his master's way of speaking.

Envi's "voice", which was bigger than that of the fishmongers, echoed unexpectedly loudly and became a kind of shock wave.

It wasn't enough to destroy the castle further, but the nearest fish man was stunned by it.

What a loud voice!

Some of you are out of your mind!

< Yes, no, the monster talked more...!

It's not just a monster! Look closely! Mellow on the tip of the neck!

< This guy is not Mellow's...!?

Something went wrong.

Indeed, mellow was a species that was good at magic, with a human upper body and a fish lower body. The mother dragon said that if we could find a place where the two species were fighting, we would be able to feed easily.

It would be rude to mistake Envy for a fish of the same level as such a fish man.

No, I don't like walrus or anything like that. No, it's none of your business who I am. Give me the castle.

It was full of frustration, but as far as Envy could tell, Rare had never made such a gesture.

I didn't know what to say when spreading frustration over the fish.

I had no choice but to speak normally with a little less output this time.

Damn it, you big voice!

But the tone is polite and rational.

It's a matter of tone! The content of the request is too crazy!

The mermaids argue with each other and no one listens to Envy.

Envy was desperate for his lack of negotiating power, knowing that he could only honestly turn over the castle and not even hear that much.

Perhaps the Mermaids don't understand the difference in combat power between Envy and them.

That is why we are arguing with such a leeway attitude.

If so, we need to show you Envy's power first.

That's what Rare would do.

That's what I understood with intuition.

If this is all you have, disappear a few and it won't affect the negotiation.

Envy shook up the belly tingle instead of the foot and pushed the group in dispute to the bottom of the sea. If this were on the ground, could it be described as crushing?

Wow! They're attacking us!

Mellow! You're sending monsters like this... to declare war!

Tell the king! You won't last long against monsters like this!

It won't be long, which means you're going to fight Envy.

It is vain to show the difference in power but not to understand it.

Rare would have made it more effective.

Maybe I can even use Vinair.

No, it's just a difference in experience. If Envy goes through more of these situations, he will one day be able to serve his purpose efficiently.

I just want a castle. You didn't want to die, did you, Te? Get out of my way!

If you don't understand, you have to continue until you understand.

Envy used belly and butt fins to crush the bottom fishermen, stab the tip of the tail and kill one by one to show the difference in strength.

Stop it!

Then a larger fish appeared from the castle than any other fish man and threw a stop word at Envi. No, it's not a fish, it's a silhouette closer to the human shape.

She wears clothes and looks beautiful from Envy's point of view. Not as good as your master.

Something as intimidating as the whole body, even if it's not as rare, would be comparable to Vinea.

Obviously not just a fish man.

Oh, my king!

The king is here!

Ruler of the sea! The Emperor of the Sea!

The Sea King! Great King Ippiara!

The fleeing fishmongers boiled at the appearance of the emperor and the beast.

─ ─ Yeah? The Emperor?

Remember what Rare said.

He said, "Find the Emperor."

I slightly forgot to see the beautiful castle, but it was originally my goal.

After all, it seems that this castle was the castle of Emperor Hai, the original purpose of Envi.

I'm sure Rare will praise you if you catch this Sea Emperor.

They will praise you even more if you also dedicate a beautiful castle.

It's great to get multiple results from a single action.

Are you the Emperor of the Sea? The Lord of the eagles wanted to see you. Would you follow me for a moment? And give me the castle. I want to dedicate it to the Lord.

<... you can talk, but are you a monster in a system that doesn't make sense? Don't you understand how strange what you're saying?

Emperor Yippieara stared at Envi.

You can talk, and you can talk. If you follow me honestly, and if you give me the castle, I won't crush any more fish. Everyone's happy. Nothing's wrong.

< This is no good...

You guys, run! No matter how many bundles you become, this man is no match for you! Buy time here! In the meantime, let the people escape!

But, King!

I can't lose my king!

That's not what I'm saying! This is the end of our kingdom! Even if you don't, if you stay, we can rebuild the kingdom! Let the Emperor of the Sea and those who will arrive one day! But if everybody dies, their hopes will be lost!

< Kh......!

And do you think this pigeon is going to delay a monster like this? You are the ruler of the sea, Emperor Yippieara!

<... King... You're safe!

Unbeatable to Envy, the Emperor shouted loudly and told the fishermen to flee.

The mermaids followed him and fled in a glance.

The words of the emperor of the sea echoed in the castle, and straw and fishmonger crawled out of the castle, and after a while the area was quiet.

As I was told, all the fishmongers fled the area.

As for Envi, I should have gotten the Emperor of the Sea and the castle, so I watched it in silence. So give me the castle with satisfaction and follow me to Envy, that's fine.

Are we done? Let's go then. The Lord of the walrus is from here to the west.

What are you saying you slept with?

Yeah?

You think you're free to threaten me? I won't let you like it any more! The power of this emperor, who has brought peace to the sea floor for 1,000 years! Take a look!

The emperor set up something like a trident.

The story is different.

Unfortunately, Envy's words were not heard.

No, maybe Envy was mistaken and the conversation didn't actually work out.

Even if you just learned a word, you only learned it automatically from the conversations you were listening to. It is possible that what Envy wanted to tell them and what he told them meant differently.

<... I can't help it. Do you want me to understand by force? Maybe the Lord will.
