I kept being called incompetent at home, but it seemed super competent globally

The next morning.

The five of us visited the fisherman who had just discovered the scales.

Although the fisherman's uncle was surprised by the sudden visit, he can tell us more about the situation.

"I think I found the scales about a week ago." There's a nice fishing spot about an hour from here along the shore. And when I lifted the net, it got caught. "

The fisherman laughed, showing his white teeth, saying that the blackfish he could pick up there was exquisite.

Speaking of which, the big black fish was served at dinner yesterday.

It was a pale, delicious meaty fish, but it was a specialty of Lake Lamia.

"Did the mermaids come to eat the fish too?"

"Surprisingly, it could be."

"Can I go to that place now?" I'll pay for the boat. "

In that case, I took a gold coin out of my wallet and showed it to him.

Freight charges are good even if they are considered broken.

As soon as I saw it, the colour of the fisherman's eyes changed.

"Hahaha, that's a lot of generosity!" You're awesome, big brother! "

"Nothing like that."

"I'll get you out of here right away." Come on, ride! "

We are invited by the good fishermen of Nori to continue aboard the ship.

However, it must have been a ship originally intended for one or two people.

When we're all on board, the hull sinks deep into the water and is about to sink.

"Oops! I can't do this!" Can somebody get out of here? "

"... then I'll pull it." It's a man. "

Having said that, Mr. Rowga tried to return to the pier.

If a mermaid uses seduction magic, it may be a wise decision for him to pull.

However, I still don't know what kind of tactics the opponent will take.

It's a bit of a mistake to lose power here.

Rowga-san, you don't have to come down.

"Hmm?"

"Mr. Rowga's defenses are invaluable." It's a must to see what they're up to. ”

But then someone has to get off to get out of the boat, right?

"This is how it works."

When I stepped out of the side of the boat, I put my hand on the water.

Lightly releasing magic power interferes with the flow of water.

The bubbles immediately began to rise and the current pushed up the hull.

"Whoa!? Magic!?"

Suddenly, the fisherman was staggering in surprise.

I answered with a smile as I hurriedly supported her back.

Yes, can't we do this?

"I think I can go... but can I control it?"

Of course, I'll move the ship in the direction I want to go.

"... rather, am I here?"

For some reason, the fisherman shrugged his shoulders as if he had lost his confidence.

Then Mr. Kurta taps his shoulder and says.

"Don't worry, you'll lose."

Is that so?

"Oh, I'm even more overwhelmed."

In time, a mysterious circle of empathy was formed without me and my sister.

Hmm, did you do something that everyone could avoid?

I looked at my sister for a moment, but she shook her head to the side because she didn't know.

And I said it in a slightly nostalgic manner.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Let's go faster than that! "

"... that's right." Okay, I'll show you where I'm going by hand, so just follow me. "

Roger that!

Thus I proceeded with the fisherman's instructions.

The hull pressed by the current gently cuts the surface of the water.

The wind across the lake was pleasant, and my body was moderately cold.

"Next, this way." Sometimes there are shallow waters, so be careful. "

Eventually, the shore was approaching, so I made sure to keep pace with it and proceeded with the ship.

Keep going, about fifteen minutes.

Arrive at your destination much faster than the fisherman said.

"Around here."

"Wow, that's how it feels."

The shore was a cliff cut high and protruding toward the lake.

Underneath, there was a big shadow and deep darkness.

Even though the days are still high, the atmosphere is somewhat creepy and gloomy.

"Thanks to that cliff, this area is a fish hangout." It's a little dark, but it's a good fishing spot. "

"Heh...."

Maybe it's just the right place for a mermaid to hide.

”... mmm, isn't there a cave over there?”

Eventually, my sister discovered a small cave under the cliff.

It is hard to understand because it is just in the dark, but it is a hole where people are likely to stand and put it in.

It was the perfect place for a mermaid-like monster to settle in.

It sounds suspicious to me, doesn't it?

Ahh, it smells like punk.

"Come on, let's go! Let's go!"

"Hey, hey! If you suddenly stand up, you'll lose your balance!"

Unbalanced and fluttering hull.

When I managed to calm down, I slowly turned my tip towards the cave.

But here, I suddenly felt a strange sign.

Rowga-san!!

Oh, my God!

As soon as I called out, Mr. Rowga set up a big shield.

Immediately thereafter, a huge mass of water hits the shield directly.

Is this a brace attack!?

When we are surprised, the water will eventually make creepy noises.

"I-It's...!!"

Frog!?

A giant frog appeared, swallowing us all from ship to ship.
