Tearmoon Empire Story

"I've never seen Emeralda's honest smile like that before..."

After dropping off Emeralda, who disappeared into the water, Meer pounded and snapped.

It's like, a smile that's out of venom.

That's a good smile... somehow, my chest squeaks.

I wonder why, Meer, I remember the day I made that tea party promise.

Didn't Emeralda have a good smile like that on that day's breakup, too?

"It was kind of an unreasonable favor from Mr. Emeralda... I'm a little worried..."

So, as it were, five minutes went by.

"Mr. Emeralda, will you be all right..."

Anne grinned at Meer, who snapped worryingly.

"It's okay, Mia. Besides, it's only about five minutes. Emeralda, let's believe you."

"Yes, you are..."

As it were, enough has passed.

"... will you be all right, Mr. Emeralda? Impossible to get hurt or something..."

"It's okay, Meer. She's the best swimmer among us, and she's rare."

Is it to reassure Meer? In a bright and light tone, Abel says.

But Meer only snorted heavily.

And..., gradually, Meer's mouth count was getting smaller, and by the time thirty minutes had passed, she was already half crying.

Over time, infinitely bad imaginations swell in the back of your brain.

In a place like this, what does it mean that whoever goes to see how things are not coming back...?

That's obvious without even thinking about it... Plus, I was reminded of the gentle smile earlier......

Meer, I thought.

Nothing, I don't think Emeralda is my best friend, and at best it's about a little friend...

But in retrospect, I've known her for a long time.

That's already been the case with the Tea Party debut, I've been invited to many birthday parties, and Meer's own birthday was well celebrated.

We've been busy lately and not that far, but we used to tailor matching dresses together and laugh.

So... Meer didn't think of Emeralda as her only best friend... but still, she didn't turn out to be a good friend.

If I lost it, I'd be... close enough to cry.

"Ugh, Mr. Emeralda...... Hiccup, yeah, he said it was okay... he said he'd be back... he said he'd be back... It's terrible, it's terrible... Ugh, you... and you betrayed me..."

By the time less than an hour later, Meer had been in a state of great crying.

Bet bets with tears all over your face, eh, grunts Meer. While gently stroking its head, Anne, who is comforting, is just beginning to tear her eyes a little...

Shh, and there was a water noise back there.

At the same time, I hear puffy breathing out......

"Phew, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. We're back now."

Emeralda, with an obvious face, is back.

Was it nice to swim? Slightly, the face looked shiny and really healthy.

"Outside, that's five minutes from here, isn't it? It's okay, there's a little bit of diving, but I think you can go, Meer."

Emeralda, who came to Meer's while dripping water, huh? and tilted his neck.

"What's wrong? I don't know, the atmosphere..."

"That took a long time..."

Soot, to Meer, who was getting much closer, Emeralda offered her a pendant on her chest.

"Oh, I was gathering sunlight on the moonlight stone. It's a bit of a tough journey without the lights. And a little sunbathing on a rock to warm my cold body... oh? What's wrong with you? Miss Meer? Ha-ha!?

In the middle of the words, Meer hissed and embraced Emeralda. Keep it up, tighten the area around your stomach, Meer said.

"I was worried! I was so worried! I didn't know you were coming back..."

"Well, Mia..."

Emeralda looked a little surprised...,

"It's okay, it's okay, Mia. I will never betray you, my best friend. Yeah, never again..."

He immediately gave me a gentle grin.

I just calmed down and ask Emeralda again about what lies ahead.

"As I said earlier, we're not that far away. The road is the main road, and you won't get lost. There's one place, two places, where we have to go in the water, but... Meer, I don't think it would be a problem if we could swim."

Hearing that, it was Anne who clouded her face.

Anne, a civilian, had no experience swimming more than Meer.

"Well, then, Anne would be happy to go with me."

Emeralda, I said it all the time. But that's just how Meer frowns.

"You..., Mr. Emeralda, right? What's wrong with you? I hit him in the head..."

"Shit! That's terrible, Mia. I was just wondering if I could be a little sweet because I'm your best friend Meer's precious maid!

He said so in a strong tone, and then Emeralda slightly missed his eyes.

"And, uh... thank you for all your help... Is it not a thank-you to the noble bloodline to return the favor properly?

- Oh, really, Mr. Emeralda is a pain in the ass. You don't seem very familiar to me...

With that in mind, Meer nodded.

"I get it. Mr. Emeralda, please tell me about Anne."

Thus, the line was decided.

Emeralda leads the way, followed by Anne. Further afterwards, Abel and Meer continue.

If it was meant to be, Abel should protect his lord, but there was a reason why he had to leave before Meer. That's......

"That's a little deep from here. He's got no legs."

"I get it!

Meer got it, she nodded all the time, turning back..., floating in the form of a backstroke.

Grab that Meer collar and Abel swims forward.

Yes, the reason I put it in this order was because Abel had to tow Meer and swim!

... Well, that's anyway.

Follow Emeralda's, raised lights that go forward.

Emeralda's right, the journey isn't even that tough.

Swimming several times, diving, repeating…, eventually I saw the light forward.

"I'm working on another one. Gentlemen!"

I can hear Emeralda's encouragement.

I wasn't trying anything else, but still, Meer was encouraged by the voice to put her hands and feet on the water. And......

"Huh..."

Meer accidentally covers her face with eyelids that ran into her sight.

What I felt immediately after was a strong sea breeze. Into the ear is the sound of a gentle wave that returns.

In the eyes I'm gradually getting used to, a clear blue sky comes in...

"Ah... oh, you're safe, you're out..."

Unexpectedly, I'm about to lose strength in appeasement. Even so, I'm floating on my back, so it's not like I've ever had the strength...

Then, once again, Meer turns her eyes to the faces nearby.

A short distance away are Emeralda and Anne. And right around me was Abel's appearance.

- Oh, I can't believe we can all get out alive... I want to dream about it.

It was Meer that seemed to impress me unexpectedly, but, furthermore, the dreamy events continued.

"Ah! That's the Emerald Star!

While cheering, there was a nostalgic look of the ship ahead that Emeralda pointed out.

"Thank you... are we saved?

So crushing and grinning Meer will be remembering in a few moments...

A statement from the Empress Meer…….

I'm supposed to come to such a deserted island myself, describing the cause.

A huge shadow that appeared in a peaceful sea......

Meer had yet to realize that behind us, we were approaching without sound...
