Chapter 76

Maki and Chiharu frantically searched from the window . Maki had always had good eyes . As for Chiharu, she used to wear contact lenses, but her eyesight had improved upon coming to this world .

 

“So, what I thought were white waves, was really the sunlight reflecting off of their scales…”

“How many are there… There are more than we saw on the merfolk island . ”

 

Maki muttered as she turned around and said to no one in particular,

 

“Is the merfolk kingdom close to Lowland?”

 

Maybe there were a lot of merfolk near Lowland, just like there were a lot near the island . So, was the merfolk kingdom in-between Lowland and the island? They would have to go there eventually, but they had never learned about its location .

 

However, everyone traded glances but kept silent . It was no wonder . Because they didn’t know .

 

“Do you know anything, Aeris and Grudo?”

 

Edwy finally asked .

 

“I have heard about it being an island that was near the border of Midland and Lowland . ”

“But I heard it was closer to the elf territories . ”

 

Grudo and Aeris replied .

 

“In other words?”

 

Maki said .

 

“No one knows . ”

“Then how were we ever supposed to visit it!”

 

Maki couldn’t help but shout .

 

“You had plans to go?”

“Amia invited us . We were supposed to go once things settled down . ”

“Maki-chan . ”

 

Chiharu interrupted her .

 

“Maybe finding it is the quest!”

“That’s way too hard! We’ve only been in this world for two months! Even the 300-year-old elf and dwarf don’t know!”

Maki put her hands on her head and tousled her hair .

 

“Also, Chiharu . This involves you just as much as it does me . ”

“Right, sorry!”

 

Chiharu said . Maki sighed and then asked again .

 

“Argh . But why would there be so many here if they didn’t live nearby? Is there a merfolk store here too?”

“No . ”

 

Nyran shook his head .

 

“Merfolk can be seen here occasionally, as the beach is very beautiful . But I’ve never seen this many gather here before . That’s probably why the birdfolk came to watch . ”

 

And then Nyran turned to Aeris and said,

 

“Aeris . After we land at the airport, I would like to stop by the beach before we head to the castle . ”

“I don’t mind . But it would be best to take Maki and Chiharu straight to the castle . ”

“We will lose a lot of time if the merfolk catch the Saintesses . So that is a good idea . ”

“Very well . We will split into two groups . ”

 

And so Kaider and Nyran would stop by the beach before going to the castle .

 

The airship flew slowly around the beach and then headed for the port . Then it landed .

 

They got out one by one . And though airships were in no way unusual, a crowd had gathered around .

 

“What? Did information about the Saintesses leak? Ah . ”

 

As Kaider looked around them, he suddenly noticed something .

 

“What is it, Kaider?”

“Maki . And especially Chiharu . Don’t come out yet!”

“What? But we already did . ”

“Tsk . ”

 

When the crowd began to open before them, a merman draped in thin cloth walked out towards them .

 

“Beloved children . ”

“Ah, it’s that young guy we met on the island!”

Chiharu shouted in surprise .

 

“So you remembered me . ”

“Of course we did . It was only two days ago . ”

 

Chiharu chuckled . That meant that this young merman swam all of the way here in just two days . But it was not too strange, as they were just as fast as the birdfolk, if not faster . However…

 

“What happened?”

“I would like to talk by the sea, if that’s possible . ”

 

Chiharu looked at Maki . Then they said,

 

“Okay . ”

 

And they nodded and started to walk towards the sea .

 

“Maki . Chiharu! Don’t go!”

 

Kaider shouted .

 

“It will probably take longer if we don’t go . ”

“Why don’t you come too if you’re so worried?”

 

After all, they had decided not to go off on their own anymore .

 

“Tsk . We have no choice . Nyran and I will go then . ”

“No, we will all go . ”

 

 

 

Edwy said .

 

“There is no point in going to the castle without Nyran . ”

“Th-that’s true . Then we’ll all go . Uh, hey! Maki and Chiharu!”

 

Maki and Chiharu were walking ahead with the merman .

 

“Even if they aren’t getting abducted, they are too spontaneous . We have to catch up with them! Let’s go . ”

Why wouldn’t the Saintesses act like normal ladies? Kaider knew he was being unreasonable, but he still felt annoyed as he chased after them .

 

“It’s the white philosopher . ”

“The royals . ”

“Then who are those girls?”

“The Saintesses . ”

“The Saintesses!”

 

The voices rang around them as they followed the merman to the beach .

 

Many merfolk were standing near the rushing waves . A short distance away, Lowland soldiers were watching them with an air of nervousness . A few of them had gone out to talk to the merfolk, but it seemed like they were being ignored .

 

“That is my father . ”

 

Nyran muttered .

 

“His Majesty himself?”

 

Kaider was surprised . This was highly unusual . The king himself had come out to talk to them .

 

“So, here is another person who is too spontaneous . ”

“Kaider . My father is much the same . He came all the way to the train station, remember?”

“Unlike Midland, my home and Nyran’s have a lot of people to act as helpers . There is no need for the king to go wandering around . His guards must have a headache . ”

“It’s the same with the Saintesses . It really cannot be helped . ”

 

While the guards watched, the merman led the Saintesses over to where the Lowland king was standing .

 

“We have come to meet the Saintesses . We have no business with Lowland . You can return to your castle . ”

 

He said as he pointed in the direction of the castle . The people around them were more annoyed than the king was .

 

“How dare you treat the king of this country like that!”

 

One of the guards said as he stepped forward . But the king stopped him with a hand . Then he looked at Maki and Chiharu, and then glanced toward Kaider and Nyran .

 

“So, you have nothing to say to Lowland . Very well . We will wait here until you are finished with the Saintesses . ”

 

The merman looked like he was going to say that that won’t be necessary . But the king continued before he could .

 

“After all, the Saintesses were originally invited to our castle . ”

 

So it was you who ruined our plans, the words seemed to say . The merman fell silent and then took Maki and Chiharu towards the waves . Maki and Chiharu bowed to the king and then followed after the merman .

And then, all at once, the merfolk surrounded them . It was hard to believe that they had looked so indifferent a moment ago .

 

The king sighed and said,

 

“Nyran . Kaider . It’s been a month since I last saw you two . I feel bad for keeping you so busy . ”

 

Kaider kept his eyes on Maki and Chiharu as he said,

 

“I know how it can be when a dungeon is involved . Please don’t worry about it . ”

 

Nyran nodded .

 

“Father, will you please tell us what is happening here?”

 

He asked .

 

“There is not much to explain . A few hours ago, I heard that a crowd of merfolk had gathered to our beach . I was told that they had business with Lowland, but when I came, they say they do not . But they wouldn’t tell me why they were here either . And so we’ve been in a stalemate . ”

 

The king said with a sigh .

 

“I had no idea that they were waiting for the Saintesses . Maybe I should be relieved . I’m too surprised to know what to say . In any case, so they are this generation’s Saintesses . They seem quite normal to me . ”

 

He said rudely . It was then that Aeris caught up with them and said in an exasperated voice .

 

“Dark eyes and hair . Short and quiet . The Saintesses were always like that . No more and no less . What were you expecting, Kilian?”

“That’s true . But since they apparently stole my son’s heart, I expected a little more glamour . ”

“They didn’t steal anything . ”

 

Nyran was annoyed that such rumors had spread .

 

“And I wouldn’t choose a woman just because she was glamorous . ”

“Oh, so you like Saintesses to be plain . ”

“I didn’t say that . ”

 

Nyran couldn’t help but answer to the king’s teasing . Still, he kept his eyes on Maki and Chiharu the whole time .

 

“Still, what are they talking about?”

“Hopefully, it’s an invitation to the merfolk kingdom . ”
