Kawaranu Mono ＜Kirameki no Gōremu＞

I am a minister of the Mermaid Nation. It's called Bassa.

No, I guess you should have. Because today, the Mermaid Nation will no longer be attacked by the fishermen.

If one of you says I have an item that also governs Cesar Pent, I wondered if you really have a drug that makes mermaids human. Despair for the raw, which I had given up on nothing I could do, turned into a raw obsession to look ugly and appreciate.

Magically make a contract with a human being. I will guide the Mermaid Nation to make it easier for fishermen to defeat it. Once it works, I get medicine from humans for me to be human. I don't get medication when I fail. I must, at any rate, let the fishermen attack down the Mermaid Nation.

After that, he held several close meetings with the fishmongers, General Bowman. The world is very powerful. If you're a mermaid, you can barely cross the line, but no other creature or demon can cross the line. But if such a junction also touches a living mermaid, it can pass through if it is a place called the entrance to the junction.

Determine the date and procedure to attack. Siege the country with as many as 300 fishmonger soldiers and 3 sea serpents. Let Cesar Pent kick the mermaids out there. Then 200 fishmonger soldiers and two sea serpents line up to chase the mermaids who would pull up within the junction, all holding one rope in their hands. With me holding the end of that rope, everyone touching that rope can enter the land of mermaids, if they come from the entrance of the junction.

The 100 remaining fishermen and one sea serpent serve to kill the escapees. If you're a young woman mermaid, there's a lot of demand, but other than that, you can kill her because she'll be devalued. I'm more than happy to be escaped and fought back, so I'm going to make sure not one of them gets away with it.

The day has finally arrived when the fishermen will attack. Now I can be human. We must succeed at all costs.

Mermaid country that falls so easily. Sure. Too much. Is this the result of relying too much on the power of the junction? There was no counterattack, either. Just a few complicated emotions swirl through my chest just to the country I've been in. But those emotions also vanished before the hope of survival.

I will guide General Bowman and his men among the kings who have a queen who is maintaining his bond at the end of the day. The queen found me coming in with the fisherman, stunned only a little, and soon thereafter seemed to forget me in anger. We tried to activate the advanced magic of the water, so we push the caught mermaids forward and use them as shields. The queen stopped the magic.

I accidentally spoke up. It's making me think I can be human.

"What a shame to break a bond. That's the end of Mermaid Country."

General Bowman makes me take the queen. I guess you're going to lock me up somewhere. The Queen is still worth using.

Well, then I shall go and see a human to get my contract fulfilled.

"Now, General Bowman, I'm going to go get some medicine for that human being, so I'm going to have to ask you to disrespect me."

General Bowman replies, "Oh, yeah," that's not true. But I can't leave because the fishermen are in front of the door. The fishermen put up spears and surround me. That's crazy. What's going on?

"Excuse me, could you all step aside there?" the voice nodded.

In the meantime, General Bowman talks to me.

"Do you know that traitors are only worth using until you betray them?"

What are you talking about, you dumb fisherman?

"Really? So you're saying I'm used? But you can't hurt me because you have a magic contract."

"Right. Those who have made a magical covenant will no longer be able to go around acts or thoughts that would defeat that covenant. Except that's after I signed a magic contract. Before you make a magic pact, you can do everything you can to make it a rebellion."

I can't hide my frustration in General Bowman's words and I get my voice absurd.

"What are you talking about!? Get out of the way!!"

"That means you're used. You're a fool and you really helped me."

I felt heat in my chest. General Bowman's spear is piercing my chest. Oh, my God. You can't hurt me because you signed a contract...

"You look incredible I said. I'll just tell you one last thing. You have a contract with a human being, but you have no contract with us. I was worried when you might want to make a deal with us."

It looks like General Bowman is saying something, but that voice is not already in my ear. My body is powerless. Will I die in this place? What for? I...

"The end of a traitor is always miserable."

General Bowman's voice murmured among kings.
