Make sure you kick the water, go.

Speed is fast, but not fast enough to run on the ground.

Because this place is underwater, and I am a beast that runs its natural course.

"Tail Beast," "Twin Leaves"! "

Magic is shed on one of the four tails, creating a split body.

The magic power you give to the created identities is minimal, something that disappears in just a few moments.

But that's enough time. Split does, kick me out.

... If you don't have a scaffold, you just have to make it!

Creativity is important.

I am a fox beast man. If you manipulate a split person, you can do what you cannot do alone.

Accelerate and go further underwater to dissolve in the water and leave the disappearing body behind. Run through the sea, not the earth, like cutting the current rather than the wind.

It's heavier and more pungent water than air, but as long as the speed rides, it's always the same. I'm a hunter, for sure.

"I got it......!

Beyond the target speed, you can reach it.

The prey that fits in my hand will burst into bits, but I've already caught it, so that's a waste of resistance. If you insert the sharp nails you have as the characteristic of the beast man into the right position, that will quiet you down.

"... this one is still prettier than wind magic"

I have confirmed that magic can be used in this water as well. Though in the water, words can also be spinned in the water by the power of the queen, Ms Kutila. If you can even give words, you can use magic.

I can use the magic of fire, not just the wind. The same goes for being able to breathe, but this space can only be wonderful.

"Massive water magic......? Or is it the effect of the artifact?

Either way, dealing with forces of this magnitude should be a considerable amount of effort. Maybe Mr. Kutila is comparable to my mother if it's just magic.

Having spent a few days, this town appears to function as a city so well that it is peaceful wherever it walks and has not beaten even the major cities of republics like Sacramento and Sacranomia.

The difference with the earth is that some people walk and some swim, and the people who go out with them are all fishermen - Sea Demons.

"Fox Fire, Fire"

Roll the fire attribute magic with your palms instead of releasing it. It is inert, but all you have to do is shake it and it will be a simple dish.

It's not that big of a fish, so the fire passes in a little time. At the end of the day, add a little fire and scorch, and you're done.

I smelled good when I said it was underwater, and my stomach started ringing.

"... I'm burned, Mr. Richelle"

I throw a freshly roasted fish at Mr. Richelle, looking down at the hunger that my flesh has complained about.

Baked fish swimmed at a slow rate through the water, not in the air, and it was eventually received by brown fingers.

――

Perhaps a word of gratitude. Richelle, who finally thanked me, tries to mouth the grilled fish and starts eating softly.

Richelle, who takes his time to taste one and looks happy, was a little envious, to be honest. Let's make the next one your share.

"Still, how long are you going to stay here...?

To be honest, I like this undersea city and its township.

You can swim, you can walk, you're not insecure. The people involved are kind and fun. More importantly, you can take all the fish you want and eat all you want.

Still, we shouldn't stay here.

Mr. Richelle is eating fish that looks delicious now, but I also know that the truth is that it's not quite there.

... Something I'm going to miss.

I know even if the words don't make sense.

There's someone I want to see, but I can't go see him. I can only see a little bit of that nonsense. Even if I don't change my words, I can tell by the atmosphere and the look on my face.

So I want to get you home soon, and if that feels any softer, I want to feed you as much fish as you want.

"That's about all I can do right now."

I don't know how, but Mr. Kutila invites us to this city as guests and doesn't try to open up.

Mr Zeno is supposed to be the negotiator on that point, so I just have to wait.

I hope there's something I can do to help, but if you tell me what I can do now, it would be enough to get rid of Mr. Richelle's anxiety in this way at all.

――

"Ah... no, Mr. Richelle. You don't have to worry about it. Next time, you'll get it!

I guess he looked difficult at some point. Mr. Richelle looked anxious and was peeking into me.

Words don't have to make sense, they can be passed on. It's not just me, it's Richelle.

Responding with a smile not to make me anxious, I kicked the stone floor again.
