Episode 17: Arriving in Mermaid Country

Huh, calm down, calm down. Calm down, yourself. Be Cool.

The fact that I got the title [Beloved Thing] made me violently upset. As many times as the effects of upset - dissolve - upset - dissolve - upset - dissolve and [enlighten things] are activated.

It is only natural for a person to protect the small and vulnerable. Well, I'm a golem now.

And it's only natural to love someone as small and adorable as that again. I'm a golem, though.

Newly earned [contactless]. I wonder what skills it is. I don't think it will be possible to touch it from the letter, but there is no object to try it out.

I used it for pinkies in a mild way, and {Pinkie died} What a result, I can't even see it.

Let's put it on hold for now.

- Four days later.

Pinky talks a lot the same way. Apparently, Pinky has been following me since he felt my gaze.

"I've been following you for a long time," he said with a smile, pulling a little.

This is what we call stalking, isn't it? If it was Japan, it would be a crime. Well, if you're going to be followed around by such a cute mermaid, it could be a reward for some people.

He kept following me around because he couldn't be brave while trying to speak up all the time. How intrusive is that? Pinkie looks like this and she's a princess, so maybe it's the influence of being raised dearly as a boxed daughter.

I was listening to Pinky, and I was snorting.

- Two days later.

I'm finally getting to see Mermaid Country. It's in the ocean, so the prospects aren't that good, but the water is so clear around here that it's scary.

That's the country where mermaids live.

As the Mermaid Nation approaches, the number of pinky mouths decreases. I can read anxiety and tension from that look. The country is miserable after losing the battle. You take that for granted.

I came in front of a little big coral reef. Apparently, there's a hidden passage here that leads to the royal palace of Mermaid Country. I see. Did the Queen miss Pinky using this passage?

"Come on, let's go! Dear doll!"

By the way, Pinky called me by the name of a doll. My gesture failed to convey my name. I can't write, and I don't have a way to tell you my name.

Come on, come on. I'm in a hurry, Pinky. But the aisle is small, no matter how you look at it. I don't think I can get by very well.

Hey, for kids? Because this passage is small, it's not like Pinky was the only way through it. Exactly. That makes no sense in the hidden passage. I was wondering if the mermaid was the size of a human being, but maybe smaller than I imagined.

Keep your body close to the entrance of the hidden passage and appeal that it is not something you can very well pass through. Pinkie can't be, either, like, crushing and desperately trying to push me in. Not very much, but I don't feel like letting it in.

Well, what's the matter?
