-... in a boat floating by the sea...

"'Instructor Mage' won't come back, then!?

The man screamed in a rough voice

Ask the boy in front of you as he leaves his large body in his chair and slaps his elbow like a frustration.

"Having purposefully moved 'Inspired Hydra'? What do you mean, what happened?

"I think you failed to respond to the intruder."

Answered the boy in silver armor.

This is a room in the boat.

Men and boys were facing each other in places that were too spacious and too luxurious for each of them to sleep in.

"I call myself the Teacher Mage, Lord of Vermillion, etc., but Himoto-Keiske is a hasty thing."

The boy in the armor caught a long sigh.

"The filling is sweet. If he was capable, he'd have caught more mermaids."

He looked at the tub (which often seemed) placed behind the cabin.

There was a mermaid girl there.

She leans against the edge of the tub and nods nicely.

"In any case, you will need to take direct command. Putting out a landing boat, can you permit it? Marquis Hillmut."

"You are my escort. I'm not allowed to move alone."

"But..."

"The Purification of the Talisman is not yet complete. We shouldn't be moving."

The man, called Marquis Hilmut, saw the crystal raised on his waist.

"The Teacher Mage" and the same "Curse Avoidance Talisman" that the boy in front of you has.

It has the power to protect its owners from the 'curse' that floods the land, but when used for a day, it is cloudy and requires mermaid singing to purify.

Marquis Hillmut decides to be sure to land every day and put his temper into 'trainee'. I'm really affected by the curse then. So every night, I used to purify myself with mermaid singing.

"I haven't tried to sing since yesterday. What's with all this crap?

The Marquis threw the silver vessel in his hand toward the tub.

But no, there's a noise, the vessel hits the tub, bounces back. Splashed wine wets the floor and the mermaid girl's hair.

"I would have given you a place! How much money do you think you put on that tub? They're made from masterpiece pottery, decorated with crystals, and sprinkled with gems! It's a delicacy that Kisara Asians don't get no matter how hard they try. The sea water is also changed every day. Even luxurious fragrance oil is shaking. What are you unhappy about!

The voice of the Marquis echoes the wide cabin.

For a while, silence fell.

The water in the bathtub, it sounded like a shake.

"... I don't want to wait"

The mermaid girl snapped, pounding.

"... I don't want to wait. Nakama, I want to come."

"Damn, the young ones these days!

Marquis flies by and screams.

"Though I'm telling you I'll give it back to you when I'm done with business! How can you not know if this is the place to hang in!

"... good luck, where?

"I was formerly a royal martial arts guide. When I was younger, I waved my sword and slaughtered and killed demons. I have undertaken the search for keys (key items) more important than the Alliance!

"............ I don't know"

"Even you guys can't just sing and dance forever. The world should eventually make a difference. That's why we're giving you a chance to get involved in history, right?

Men keep talking with their arms wide open, as if this is a theater as well.

"I'm doing this because I expected you guys to be purifiers of key item exploration. I'm hoping you guys can do it. You mean betray it!?

"I don't know, I'm telling you"

The mermaid girl shook her head to the side.

Watery hair shakes and soaking sea water wets the floor.

Don't you like that again, Marquis Hilmut snorts. "It's sloppy. It hasn't."

"Lady Mermaid"

A boy in silver approached the tub and said:

"Why don't you and I have a contract?" You 'sing a song for purification'. I'm "Get the Holy Sword, Fight for Justice" "

"... I don't know what it is"

"I need the Sacred Sword. To use my skills."

To the boy's question, the mermaid does not answer.

"... I don't know, nothing"

She closed her eyes and cleared her ears to the sound of the waves.

I want to jump into the ocean now. I don't want anything, so I want to swim and sing freely.

Because she didn't know what the people here were thinking.

"... let me see..."

said the girl.

"... let me see you... let me touch the running water... then I'll sing to you"

"That's a laborious thing to do!

Marquis Hillmut threw up.

He looked troublesome and then waved at the armored boy.

"Do as you wish, 'Holy Swordsman'. But don't forget to chain him up."

"What do you do with intruders?

"Siege and kill. I will be the last one."

"There are 'elite trainees' - 'quasi-valiant' - who are assisted by instructors on the coast. If you give instructions with a flag from here, you'll see. Leave the command to them. Are you sure about that?

"... oh... no, wait"

The Marquis stopped the boy trying to make a move.

"A while ago, a bunch of undead people showed up on the street."

"I hear you."

"They were wiped out by a giant circle of light, a purifying light."

"Rumor has it that the resurrected Tenryu wielded his power. Or there's a" Tenryu proxy. "

"I don't believe in the resurrection of the Tenryu or anything else... but the great magic of purification exists. Then we should take action."

Men think a little before

"Disperse the trainees and besiege the intruders on it. That way we won't be able to purify everyone. If the" curse "effect disappears, it'll be a hassle."

"I'm just amazed at your wisdom, Marquis."

The boy, called the 'Holy Swordsman', knelt on the floor.

"That's who you were, formerly, a royal martial arts guide. Good at tactics."

"It's only because I realized your worth."

The man stood up and took the sword in his hand.

In a flattering move, hand it to the boy.

"Now he is just a 'swordsman', now one who will be unique as long as he gets the Holy Sword. When you battle the upcoming Demon King, take full care of yourself by my side."

"Oh, my God."

The boy nodded and answered.

"If this land is an example place, then the Holy Sword must necessarily be asleep. Whatever method you use, let me try to get it."

"Oh."

Out of his sight, the Marquis laughed with his lips crouched.

It's as if your line is also an interesting joke.

─ ─ Nagi Cecil Rita Team ─

The air is heavy.

We're not even close to the coast yet. Still, I can see the air all around me.

"Is this the 'Cursed Land'?"

But it's where the mermaids live.

I don't know. Even though there's nobody around, I get a strange tinnitus. It's like someone's been watching me for a long time, that's how I feel.

"Is Cecil and Rita okay? Tell me if you're not feeling well."

I ask the two of them on the left and right.

"Daijibu, it is. I kind of feel like pressure, but..."

"Right. It feels like someone is yelling in an inaudible voice. This is like a curse."

"It feels like you're yelling in an inaudible voice"?

Sure, it feels that way.

He's been under a lot of pressure because he's seen something so big, he doesn't know when it's going to piss him off. That's the image.

"... but the consciousness is clear. My body isn't crazy, either."

As the Virgin assured me, me and Cecil, Rita seem to have resistance to the 'curse'.

"You know it's a 'cursed land' even if it's resistant. I wonder what the intolerable trainees are in."

"... an escape trainee said. Guys, they're gonna try to escape by the second day."

"... everyone's changed their minds since day three... and said they'd give up"

We looked down at the sandy beach where the trainees gathered from behind the rocks.

Everyone was playing group gymnastics until just now, but now they're standing blurry.

Running around between 'trainees' are swordsman girls and girls in robes. I just saw 'Instructor Mage' give instructions to the two of them.

He would be an adjunct to The Teacher Mage.

"─ All assembled. And come forth those who are resting."

"─ Excuse me, gentlemen. I'm gonna hang on!

The girls are screaming and watching the ships floating in the sea.

There's no movement there at all. I thought Rita said she saw the flag move on deck. Is that some kind of signal?

Information on "Newbie Training" comes from a girl from "Escape Trainee" who Leticia helped.

Sharing information is fundamental. The necessary information is to be communicated in "Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage)/Modification".

The girl taught me that 'Teacher Mage' has an adjunct.

That ships offshore have nobles and swordsmen. Aristocrats ─ Marquis Hillmut is bound to come once a day and give his trainees' thankful guidance '. So there's always an injured person.

They are looking for someone who is resistant to the curse.

I guess you're trying to use those people to explore mermaid habitats.

"... I wonder if there really is a 'Dungeon of the Demon Dragon' near the Mermaid's residence"

I exchanged glances with Cecil and Rita next door. [M]

"I thought it would be easiest if nothing happened, but wouldn't it?"

"... right" "Yeah. I can't help it."

The three of us are lying on the rocks, looking out over the sandy beach.

Hold hands so we can merge at any time.

Cecil's tiny hands are getting hotter than usual.

You care you're sweating, sometimes, let go of your knotted hands and plush them with a robe.

Rita's got the perfect shoulder for me.

He doesn't seem nervous, he's shaking his clean tail. You haven't noticed it yourself, I hold it down with my hands every now and then, but it goes right back to normal. I'm away from the beach, and I'm at the root of a tree, so I don't think I'll find it that way.

"The operation is simple. First we hit the people on the beach with enormous' sacred power '"

I started explaining. [M]

"We should then be free from the influence of the 'curse' and back to sanity. According to" Escape Trainee, "they're all here because they believe in bullshit training. If you go back to sanity, you know it's crazy. I guess the persuasion around there is to ask Ilis. We'll check the center of the Curse and put down the silver plate of purification the Virgin gave us."

"... the land of curses, is it"

Poop, and Cecil snapped.

"What is the sin committed by a human king against a dragon? So much so that the 'curse' has not disappeared for so long. Is there such a sin? I can't imagine."

"... yeah. I've been thinking about that too."

I stroked Cecil's silver hair. [M]

Because Cecil looked anxious.

Sonia, the mermaid, said, 'Once upon a time, the king of man committed a very great sin against the dragons that dwell on the earth'.

But then the Demons suffer similar damage.

Because humans almost let one race called the Demon Nation down.

But Cecil doesn't resent humans. I didn't even curse you.

On the contrary, he asked me to draw his subconscious out of fear of 'what if I resented people at the bottom of my heart'. As a result... I have come to know Cecil's true wishes.

But the dragon that's the source of this curse is still angry at what he did.

We can't imagine what it is that creates so much anger.

"If everyone was as kind as Cecil, the world would be more peaceful."

Rita accidentally held Cecil.

On Cecil's cheek, pressing her own cheek, she's laughing.

"When you meet a dragon who resents people, you have to say," Apprentice the Demons. "

"I want you to know that I'm happy to meet my favorite husband."

"Common sense, right?"

"Right"

... What are you both going to tell the source of the 'curse'?

I tried to penetrate, but Cecil and Rita are smiling face-to-face.

You're both really close.

I always thought Cecil and Rita were like sisters of different races. Of course Rita's the better sister. I often see Rita fixing Cecil's hair in the bathroom.

Cecil's hairstyle today, by the way, is a twin tail set nicely by Rita. Rita's probably in trouble, too. I put it in and Rita fixes it herself. [M]

For the convenience of the operation, we make it easier to find each other. This should work later.

"... Okay, I guess it's time they all came out"

I turned my gaze back towards the beach. [M]

Over there, a girl swordsman is screaming. "I'm an elite trainee," "I'm allowed to wake up an hour late," "Discrimination matters," "If anyone is taken care of, we all strive to be that way," "That'll get me in the mood," "Be like us," - and finally, "Everybody out."

In response to that word, trainees gather from all over the beach.

In addition to the people in training, they had someone wrapped around a blanket and rested.

I mean, that's all the trainees that have to be purified.

"Okay. Cecil, Rita. Combined magic prep."

I gave them instructions. [M]

"... wait, Nagi. Trainees are starting to scatter..."

"It's true! This means that someone who doesn't come within the purification range..."

Rita points to the beach and Cecil speaks up.

They were right.

There are dozens of 'trainees' on the beach. That's divided into four squads, and they're starting to move in separate directions.

"We have enemies approaching this scene!!

"The enemy could use immense magic"

Elite trainees raised their voices.

"Divide them all into four squads. We lead every two squads. Put two Inspirational Hydras on the escort."

"Trainees, we're going to follow the emergency manual. Come on!

They're using the magic of expanding their voices. I can hear you so far.

Leading the trainees are boys with swords in their hands and girls with canes in their hands.

Further out of the sea, the little Hydra appears. Is Hydra being manipulated by an 'elite trainee', as ordered, following the trainee?

"─ Taken care of"

Over there, he's got some information.

Previously, when the streets were flooded with undead, they were purified together by the great magic of divine power. Can't you help but rumor?

If the enemy uses a 'curse' to manipulate people, they will naturally take measures to purify them.

That's noble. You're thinking of a lot of measures...

But we've evolved since then.

I activated my skills.

"Activated." Competency Reconstruction "Skill Structure" LV7 "─" Competency Crossing (Skill Crossing) - Modification "!!

This time it's a new force in Skill Structure. When I 'rebuilt' Leggy and Raphilia, 'ability rebuild' became LV7. Along with that, "Skill Crossing" became available.

─ ─ However, there is a "change."

"Come on, Cecil. Rita."

"Ha, ha," "... Fine. Come, my lord."

I touch Cecil's chest with my right hand and Rita's chest with my left.

Same as before. Connect the three with "Magic Thread."

To unite us and unleash the great magic of purification.

".................. eh. I'll come in. The magic of Nagi and the divine power of Rita"

"Yeah... rather than mingle... this feels delicious..."

Cecil closes her eyes and Rita cheers with a cheerful face.

I call two skills to the window under your authority. [M]

They use the same "Ancient Language Chant LV1" and "Holy Power Mastery" Shinseri-Kusaku LV1 "as last time.

'Cross Capabilities' is a 'Skill Combination Emulator'. The two skills can be combined to temporarily produce six concept cheat skills.

And that superior edition of "Crossing Skills and Changes" allows me to add only one concept of the skills I have.

─ ─ First time. So. Use 'concepts' that are easy to understand. For example... this is it.

"Gift Swordsmanship LV1"

'Increase' Resilience 'in' Swords and Knives' (10% + 10% 'Giving Swordsmanship' LVx) 'Skill

Use 'Increase' for this skill.

Uh, the connection between "Ancient Language Chant LV1" and "Holy Power Mastery LV1" is the same as last time, he said.

Plus the concept of 'gift swordsmanship'...... I guess this is it.

'Owner' - 'Spell' - 'Holy Power' - 'Details' - 'Speak' - 'Notice' - 'Increase'

"............... I'm kind of getting pouty"

Cecil held onto Robe's chest and looked at me.

"No, it doesn't feel unpleasant, it's peaceful... it's 'pompous' to be relieved of... hmmm"

"Cecil, you look kind of happy"

Rita had Cecil's silver hair.

"Hey Nagi and I wonder if you want to be connected all the time?

"Rita? Hey, what!?

Cecil's face turns bright red.

But I didn't realize what Rita was doing.

I wonder if this is one sensation or something.

"Li, even Rita, you remember a lot!" "Cecil! Hey, it's against the rules to think about that now!?

"─ And when I said that, Rita's memory came in!?" "Wait, wait, wait, wait!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Rita... the..." "Oh, wow, wow. Cecil......"

Something's going on!?

Cecil and Rita's words overlap, and they're twisted at the same time.

It's not just the feeling, it seems we even know each other's memories. But the memory of you two turning so bright red...?

"And anyway. Both of you, I'll use great magic, so focus!

"Ha, ha. That was it. The memory Rita gave me, I forget now!

"Cecil, I said 'now'!? What do you mean," now "?

I calmed down the two heads for now.

Then "Skill Crossing/Modification" is - "Apply".

Assembled skills move.

Me, Cecil and Rita, seven "concepts" intertwined, words filling in between.

So the new 'emulated' skills...

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

"Ancient Language/Sacred Power Magic Chant (Multiple Capture Model (Multilock On))"

'Notice' skill to 'detail' and 'chant' the 'spell' of 'owner' in 'divine power'

(The addition of your husband's "concept" and "increase" allowed multiple lock-on)

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

... It had some amazing features.

The concept I gave them is used to add functionality.

I wonder if my abilities are the same as last time. Uh,

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

The Ancient Language and Sacred Power Magic Chant (Multiple Capture Model (Multilock On)) is a pseudo-created skill created by Souma-Nagi's Crossover (Skill Crossing) and Modification.

It will be possible to activate the magic of Cecil-Falot (exclusive) with the 'divine power' of Rita-Merfeus (exclusive).

The magic activated by this turns into something with purifying power.

Limit number of times used: only once.

Immediately after use, the Ancient Language Sacred Power Magic Chant (Multiple Capture Model (Multilock On)) and the Ability Crossover/Modification disappear.

"Capability Crossing/Modification" is revived after a certain amount of time.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

… 'Crossing and Modifying', will it be resurrected after a certain amount of time?

You're just high level and suddenly cheesy. This.

I wonder what would happen if I multilock on to the Ancient Language Magic Flame Arrow in this pattern......

If I laser that with 'True Cane Neuerut'...... to the homing laser......?

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Uh, get back on your mind, it's time to start chanting!

"Cecil will be supplied with" divine power. "

Cecil and Rita looked at each other and nodded.

And the two of them, hold hands and start chanting.

"'Announcing purification, descending with the appearance of things circling the heavens...'"

"In the name of holiness..."

Two voices rock the grass.

At the same time, a marker appeared in front of me. There are four red, circular ones.

"Lock-on marker."

Skills where the original 'Giving Swordsmanship' increases power at 10% + (10% x skill level). The use of that concept allows us to 'increase' the object of magic.

There are four numbers that can be locked on.

Do you feel the level of skill used by me, Cecil and Rita +1?

"Should I fit this into each squad of 'Trainees'..."

I moved the lock-on marker at my fingertips.

When pressed on top of the Trainee squad, the marker turns green.

Now we're locked on.

"Bye, Cecil, Rita. You can shoot me!

"" Copy that! Activate! Holy Ancient Language Magic! "Holy Purification Halo"! "

The moment Cecil and Rita proclaimed themselves in high spirits, a circle of light appeared by the sea.

"Coming! Enemy magic! Squads, evade at full speed!!

"Well, it's kind of a comfortable light, but don't let it fool you. For each squad, run without disturbing the line.

The "elite trainees" and the trainees, who were on the beach, run out in four directions.

But...

"Ha, fast!? And it's spreading!?

"Hey, I'm kind of following you. Whoa, whoa! Hey, trainee there. How can you be so lukewarm in the light!? There's something black coming out of my body, but...

While the circle of light widens, it accurately tracks (homes) the trainees.

The downpouring light, of course, is not a bad thing. It's a shower of divine power that wipes out the effects of the 'curse'.

The trainee who bathed it stops his leg.

I close my eyes in the shower of light, as I began to realize that I was very tired.

And...

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

The air shook.

The black signs that were drifting around here disappear.

That's among the 'trainees'.

It was as if the poison that was eating into his body were coming up as a mist.

Everyone was mentally unstable under the influence of the 'curse'. Purifying it...

"Home!

Unexpectedly, one of the 'trainees' screamed.

"Why do I have to keep getting this weird training!? Why do I have to be denied myself that far!?

"That's right. We came here to be strong? Get some weird gymnastics done!

"If I run away from here, there's no other job. - That's not true!

Mouth to mouth, the 'trainees' speak up.

"─ What, demons!? Is Hydra here?

"How could we not have noticed!?

"Run! Run!" They'll eat you. Everybody, run!

Plus, they watch 'Inspirational Hydra' and run out.

Well, it will, won't it?

I have a demon in front of me. If you go back to sanity, it's natural to escape.

"Or stop them!" Inspired Hydra "!

"I don't know, but you can't escape! We'll be pissed!

"Elite Trainee" Flies Instructions to "Inspirational Hydra". The fact that the reaction doesn't change seems to mean those people have 'curse' tolerance.

But the 'trainees' have already begun to flee to scatter.

Before Inspirational Hydra tries to chase it...

"Son of man, run away! I'll stop this place!!

A white-winged dragon stood up.

"Master Tenryu Blanchalka!?" "Why, Tenryu is here!?" "I've heard rumors that he's back..."

"Details later. Anyway, let's get out of here."

Bright white dragons bark with their necks as they cover people.

'I heard it from those who fled first. My personal belongings are in the cabin ahead. Take it and cover it up to the maintenance ground and run! This is a land of malice. Never look back!!

"" "Okay, Tenryu!!

People run out in unison.

"Sender: Nagi

Recipient: Iris

Body: Good timing. Iris. And then stop on the street. '

I sent a message to Ilis on "Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage)/Modification".

"Sender: Illis

Recipient: Ooichan

Body: Leave it to me. The skills you gained in "Soul About (Engage)" with your brother are not DA!

Confident.

Me, Cecil and Rita, we fought in the shadows of the rocks.

You have to follow up when it didn't work out.

"─ Signal from the ship. That Tenryu is a fake thing. He told me to take him down with Inspirational Hydra."

"─ It just looks real!?

'Elite Trainees' waved on the beach.

'Inspirational Hydra' moves it out on the signal.

"" "'Huiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Two 'Inspired Hydra' thrust toward 'Tenryu Blancharca', which inhibits the way to go.

The small Hydra, about four metres tall, approached the Phantom of the Tenryu Blancharca with the momentum it remained, and...

"Sender: Illis

Recipient: Ouch

Body: This is the time. Activate "Dragon Blessing (Dragonic Brace)"!

Shh.

Sure.

The tail of "Tenryu Blanchalka" caught "Inspirational Hydra" and defeated him.

"" Not a phantom... "? I said there's an entity. Whoa!?

No, it's a phantom. Just put a physical determination (...) on the tail (...) for a moment (...).

"Sender: Illis

Recipient: Nagi

Body: Success. Brother! Have you seen the power of Illis' Blessing the Dragon (Dragonic Brace)!?

"Dragon Blessing (Dragonic Breath)"

The protection of 'Dragon Blood' gives' Physical Enhancement 'to weapons, skills and magic.

Only one subject per time.

The moment you "fortify" a different subject, the previous "fortification" disappears.

This skill can give 'physical enhancement' to the skill itself as well as weapons and magic.

If you use this for "fantasy space," you'll temporarily be given a "physical feel" for "The Phantom of the Tenryu Blancharca."

"Sender: Rafilia

Recipient: Master. []/(n) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) good

Body: Thanks for stopping. "Heavy Rain Archery" Plus "Physical Penetrator", Go "

Hiu. Hiu. Hin. Hin.

Saku.

"'"' Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Rafilia's arrow, flying from across the rock, pierced the head of 'Inspirational Hydra'.

It was light.

Destroyed the 'magic crystal' of the power source, 'Inspirational Hydra' collapsed.

"My protection can turn even the demon's torso into a thin cloth."

The Phantom Tenryu barked.

"Son of man. You demon your people... and walk away quickly. '

"Ah, ah..."

Peetan.

The swordsman girl is shaking and sitting on the beach.

"This land is the dwelling place of mermaids, not the place for people to step in"

"Yes, but... training on this land does make people stronger"

The girl stood up trembling and pulled out her sword.

The wizard girl also takes the wand. Like covering a girl.

"That's right. We are now confident in ourselves with this training! We were originally just low-level adventurers. But after training here, don't let anyone else beat you."

... That's a strong one, 'Elite Trainees'.

I'd better convince you to leave early.

I decided to send a message to Illis.

With "Tenryu's Script".

'That is because the land is cursed. You guys didn't get stronger. Others Weakened'

"The Phantom of the Tenryu Blancharca" mouthed the line as instructed.

"You were only comparing yourselves to those who were confused and weak"

"... no!?" "It's a lie. A nobleman would do that better!?

Then the truth will be in your eyes.

The Phantom of the Tenryu Blancharca shouted.

Soon the land will be covered in thick mist. Run if you don't want to get caught up in this. My deputies will do their work quietly '

That said, Tenryu's phantom turned to me.

I send a signal to Cecil. Cecil nods and activates the magic she chants.

"I changed my magic to a water attribute in" Attribute Change "Element Changer. Activate." Ancient Language Magic, Dark Fog ""

Buh.

The coast and the sea were engulfed in thick mist.

"You can't even see our faces in this state. Put on your usual 'sea dragon noodles' just in case"

"Yes, Nagi." "Rikai."

Cecil and Rita's twin tails are shaking.

That's why I unified everyone's hair. Silhouette even in the fog, so that even your companions can tell.

"That ship... I hope you're going somewhere like this"

If you go offshore, you won't be affected by fog.

Trainees head for the mainland, so it's impossible to chase them by boat. The trainees on the maintenance site are to be protected by the merchant Mr. Dolgore. With the testimony of Mr. Dolgore and the trainees, it should just as well convey the anomaly of 'rookie training'.

In the meantime, we'll look into the back of the Mermaid's Place and find out what's causing the Curse.

If that's what really involves the 'Demon Dragon' - you might need to help the 'Sea Dragon Kelkattle'. If the cause of the 'curse' disappears, there will also be no reason for the nobility to occupy this place. The mermaids should be able to come back.

Little mermaid Sonia wanted that too.

"Whether we continue to sing 'Songs of Purification' in this land or live in another land, we settle down and then we decide" ─.

─ With that in mind, we run out to the coast.

The fog is deep, but me and Cecil are unaffected. I can see your feet, and I can see 'Elite Trainees' standing flat.

Let's just talk to those two.

"Nagi. I can hear the song."

Rita accidentally stopped.

"... I feel the power of purification... this is Mermaid's song"

Running for a while, I heard it too.

Clear singing, like blending in between waves. Like purifying the heavy air just now.

What I hear is a wave beating.

There was a little mermaid girl chained to her torso.

"............... who?

The girl looked at me and blurted.

"... frightened one... carrot?

"We're friends of Sonia the Mermaid. At her request, I came here."

"... of Sonia...?

"That's terrible. Tied up in chains... could the nobles have caught you?

The mermaid girl nodded.

"In the ship... there is a sailor, and one of the nobles, a sword brave man... those men... in this land... searching for the holy sword. It was sung so that the people... would not be affected by the 'curse'. I was connected outside the ship now... but the fog came out, I was surprised, the chains were loose, so I ran away... of"

"Okay. We'll protect you. I'll take you to Sonia. I guess."

"……………………………………"

That said, the mermaid girl closed her eyes.

I lifted her off the water. Lighter. Than Sonia. I'm really still like a child.

"............... once we rendezvous with the Eines"

"... you have to keep this child."

"............... little ones are a priority, aren't they? I can't help it."

I'm meeting Cecil, Rita, in a quiet voice.

Doing so brings the 'elite trainees' closer together.

"Oh, you guys?

"... 'Tenryu's proxy'"

With the mask on, I answered.

"It connects all dragons to each other. At the request of the 'Sea Dragon', I came to investigate the land. I heard that mermaids, creatures of the sea, were being persecuted."

"... persecution,"

"It's a lie. The Marquis says that the mermaid has given the land to us who burn on our great mission."

... Is that what you said?

What is it? Its magnificent and noble lies.

"That's falsehood. The chains tangled up in this mermaid girl are proof. She fled the ship."

"Then the land is called 'For the mission of true brave men, purified'..."

"It's a lie. The other trainees had been invaded by the 'curse' and gone crazy. The Marquises must have escaped the 'curse' on their own in 'Mermaid Song'"

".................. Ah, ah"

"Well, see for yourself whether it's a lie or a truth. Bye."

I carried a mermaid and tried to run out. [M]

But...

Shake it off!

Water and the sound of kicking the beach.

Looking back, a boat coming out of an offshore ship was coming to the beach.

From there comes a few soldiers and a swordsman, an aristocratic man.

"Return the mermaid. And die."

Swordsman shadows, that sort of thing.

"The mermaid is a key item for me to get the 'Holy Sword'. Give it back to me now. And all of you die knowing it's useless!!

The soldiers lined up and attacked us and two of our Elite Trainees.
