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

Thank you again today!

Today is just the third day since I started painting.

Visiting Saman again, I bowed down with my canvas in one hand.

The degree of completion of the painting is 70% to date.

The outline was firm, but the finish was still there.

Um, this is the pose, right?

"Yes, could you just raise your face a little more?"

Is that so?

Turn your face upwards, Saman, as I say.

Keeping in the same pose can be unexpectedly tough because it looks easy.

As I run the paintbrush, my body begins to shudder.

Um, can I take a break?

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't notice."

When I said that, Saman sat lying on the boat.

As she lay down on her face, she narrowed her eyes and made a pleasant face.

However, it was like sunbathing on the beach.

If you do this, the mermaids and humans won't be surprisingly different

"Oh, it sounds like a terrible rumor or a legend is a lie."

At a calm moment in the afternoon, everyone's expression naturally loosened.

Eventually, my sister took out some eggs from her pocket for snacks.

"Do you want to eat Saman too?"

"What is this?" A beautiful stone...? "

Hmm, is there no candy in the world of mermaids?

“We live at the bottom of the lake, so it won't rain.”

"It's not like that."

Perhaps it has become troublesome to explain, but my sister actually ate one egg and showed it to me.

Then, with a satisfied face, he offered it to Saman-san.

"Come on, it's good."

Saman pinched the offered candy balls and threw them into her mouth in surprise.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide in amazement.

"It's sweet!! It's about ten times sweeter than Tika's fruit!!"

"Haha, that sounds like a lot of joy. Do you want to eat this too?"

Rowga offered a sandwich to Saman, who was delighted.

Apparently he brought it in just in case he got hungry.

"Nhhh!! It's delicious!!"

Biting the sandwich, Saman smiles again.

Why does the food of the human world seem to suit my mouth so well?

We humans and mermaids have a lot in common.

Well then, how about this as well?

“Please!”

Ah!

Soon after we stopped, Saman threw something black into Nino's mouth.

It was definitely preserved food made by Nino-san.

Nino-san's dishes were full of character, without exception... are you okay?

When we were worried, Saman-san's body trembled...

"Nkuuuu..."

Samantha!?

Saman-san fell down with a blue face.

I was in a hurry to hug that body. [M]

――● ――

"...... I can't let you eat weird stuff anymore!"

"Excuse me, sister." But it's very good for your health. "

"No, if it's good for your health, you won't fall even if you eat it."

Kurta-san thrusts herself into it, and Nino snapping.

As she does so, Saman, who is fully rejuvenated, protects her.

"It's okay, it's okay!" I was just a little surprised! "

In doing so, Saman poses to appeal to her survival.

Nino seems to be reflecting on it too, so let's leave this conversation at this point.

When I get the paintbrush again, I start working again.

The battle must finally be finished by tomorrow, whatever it is.

Naturally, your hands are full of strength and your brush is gaining momentum.

Alright! You did it!!

The painting was finally finished after days of leaning.

I don't know if I can beat Sister Ecclesia, but it's a work that just hit me with all my might.

If this doesn't happen, I can honestly give up.

That's a good substitute for putting in a lot of effort.

"Oh...!! Isn't this amazing!?"

Hmm, that's a pretty powerful picture!

This Saman seems to be alive.

Kurta and the others complimented me on the finished picture.

Maybe we can beat Sister Ecclesia.

It was a reaction where I could see such hope.

"Well then, is it time to go home?" Thank you, Saman! ”

"Welcome! Come back and play again!"

So we broke up with Saman and tried to get back to the city.

But here, from somewhere, I heard an explosion that shook Dong and his whole body.

The lake was rippled, and the water birds flew up together.

"What!? Thunder!?"

But the weather's fine, isn't it?

"I heard it from that direction.... what's that?"

A black shadow floated in the center of the lake.

Is that a ship, perhaps?

I'm not sure from here, but it's a lot bigger for a fishing boat.

It seems like I could get in about fifty people if I tried my best.

What is it?

"I don't know. Do you understand?"

"No, I've never seen anything like it."

The fisherman, who was spoken of by Mr. Rowga, shook his head sideways in distress.

Then, even here, the explosion sounds again.

Moreover, this time, I saw something like lightning that ran on the lake surface.

It also originated from the abrupt end of that ship.

That place is the land of seals!!

"Huh!?"

Saman speaks unexpectedly.

Isn't this a bad thing at last...? "

Unexpectedly, I was sweating cold.
