Chapter 17 – The Sacred Treasure’s Essence
I went to the divine realm to ask how to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure, and I asked the God of Light-sama to bring the Sea God-sama to me, and I was able to learn how to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure. Before that, I was to invite Ines’ family and Flora-san to the Chris.
“How did it go, Wataru-san?”
As I left the church, Alessia-san called out to me as fast as she could. I see that everyone else is here in full force except for Pent. They seem to be anxious about the outcome of the negotiations with God.
“I was able to meet with the Sea God-sama, and now I can use the Sea God’s sacred treasure.”
When I said this, Alessia-san and the others, Ines and Felicia, shouted in admiration. It’s not that I’m particularly great; that’s all up to God, but it’s nice to see that kind of reaction. Huh, I feel like I’m getting burned by Claretta-san’s respectful eyes.
“Well, then, you can already use the Sea God’s sacred treasure, right? Let’s try it right away.”
Alessia-san looks at me with expectant eyes. I would like to meet her expectations, but I have something to say first.
“Please wait a moment. I have some important news to tell you.”
“I see… So, the sacred treasure of the Sea God has something to do with mermaids. That should be interesting.”
“I am interested in mermaids, but first we have to clean up the Chris. After all, the gods will be coming here.”
“You’re really inviting my family, aren’t you? I’m so happy for that, but it’s going to be a lot of work.”
Alessia-san was curious about mermaids. Claretta-san is very enthusiastic about the God’s descent event, but the ship from the Ship Summoning can be cleaned just by thinking about it. Well, I guess Claretta-san knows that and wants to clean it.
Ines… probably thinks it’s a hassle to deal with Bella-san and the others after the tour of the Chris is over.
We even talked about the offerings to the king, but they are all going through the motions. Either they’re just not interested, or they don’t want to think about it because it’s too much trouble, I don’t know.
I have to finish everything I have to do in the Aquamarine Kingdom before I can think about making offerings to the king, so I guess I’ll think about it then.
“Now that you understand all the details of the situation, in what order do you want to act? The offering to the king should come last.”
“The date and time of the descent of the gods are fixed, so we should act accordingly. We have to check the schedule of Ines’ family, so should we go to another place first to try the Sea God’s sacred treasure?”
“I think so. My family and Flora both have work to do, so I’ve already explained some of the details to them beforehand, but we can’t suddenly move today or tomorrow.”
“But if we use the Sea God’s sacred treasure, we will find nine out of ten mermaids, right? Wataru-san says they’re in trouble, so won’t the mermaid problem take up a lot of time?”
Alessia-san and Ines think we should try for the Sea,God’s sacred treasure. Dorothea-san seems to be worried about the mermaid problem.
“Master. I understand the mermaids are in trouble; is it an emergency?”
“No, I didn’t ask for that many details.”
I wanted to ask for details as well, but the rules set by Creator God-sama would get in the way.
“I think you should think about meeting the mermaid first if that is the case. If you can’t make it in time, there’s nothing you can do about it, and if you can afford the time, then just let them wait for you.”
It’s rare to hear the always-reserved Felicia express herself so well. …Ah, she compares it to her own kind. The dark elf tribe is also struggling, so she probably doesn’t see it as someone else’s problem.
“Sure, it’s an emergency situation. Well, I’m going to put the mermaids first. Is that okay with you?”
There seems to be no objection, so let’s move to a place where it’s easy to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure. The Chris is too conspicuous, so we’ll switch to the Lutto.
＊＊＊
“This area seems nice.”
It is not impossible to see it from the land, but it is not very visible because apparently no one lives near it. If I use the sacred treasure on the other side of the land, no one will be able to see it.
The mermaids are unlikely to be attacked by monsters because of the inland sea, and although I am worried about the fishmen, it is already late in the evening. They would not come all the way out here to hunt. This is the best place.
“I have been waiting for this. I wonder how it works, how it moves the currents?”
“It’s a sacred treasure; it’ll be spectacular!”
Alessia-san and Ines look forward to it. But just because it can be spectacular doesn’t mean I’m going to make it spectacular. That would defeat the purpose of moving to a less conspicuous place.
It will be plain and disappointing, but let’s just get on with it and meet the mermaids. I’m looking forward to it. Huh? I got the permit, but I haven’t heard how I’m supposed to use it. It’s too late to say… that I don’t know how to use it. I guess I’ll just have to try it on the spot.
I summoned a rubber boat with the Sea God’s sacred treasure on it and approached it with trepidation, and the originally brightly colored Sea God’s sacred treasure began to emit sparkling particles of light.
It looked like coral spawning, but there was no such reaction when I touched the sacred treasure before. Was this the effect of receiving permission? I am not sure, but it looks like it might be useful.
When I touch the Sea God’s sacred treasure with determination, the use of the sacred treasure flows into my brain. It feels like being appointed as a staff member with Ship Summoning.
But… this is bad. No wonder Creator God-sama is in trouble. The ability to manipulate the ocean currents alone is a cheat, but that wasn’t its true power.
The Sea God-sama said that if it were forced, it would not be powerful enough, but on the contrary, it was a cheat to be able to manipulate the ocean currents even if it was disabled.
And since the Sea God’s sacred treasure in front of me has the Sea God’s permission, it can work at full capacity. Not only the ocean currents but most things in the ocean seem to be controllable with this sacred treasure.
It’s definitely too much power for me. I’m scared just to have it, but how am I supposed to handle it? If I give it back to the mermaid and they use it recklessly, the country will be destroyed, right?
“Wataru-san. What do you think? Can you control the ocean currents?”
As I was getting scared, Alessia-san called out to me. She seemed to be worried about me because I had stopped out of fear. Well, I want to meet the mermaid, and if it looks dangerous, I’ll seal it in my rubber boat.
For now, let’s make a little whirlpool. It should be safer than moving the current or creating a new one. I have to make sure I don’t cause a tsunami.
“First, I’m going to make a whirlpool over there; just watch me.
The surface of the ocean began to ripple, and in no time at all, a whirlpool about two meters long was formed.
“It’s so small. Wataru-san, is this your limit?”
Alessia-san looked at me with an expectant expression.
“I think I can make the whirlpool as big as I want it to be. It’s not safe to make it too big, but how big do you want it to be?”
“What do you mean, how big?”
“It seems that this divine treasure could not work as well as it should have at the Duke’s place, and all it could do was move the ocean currents. But now that I have Sea God-sama’s permission, it seems possible to create a whirlpool that could engulf the Aquamarine Kingdom.”
“…That’s not a joke, is it? I thought it could only move the ocean currents?”
“Yes. The original performance of this sacred treasure is too dangerous. It’s on a level where it’s harder to find something it can’t do in the ocean.”
Alessia-san looked like a child who got a new toy, so I told her about the performance of the Sea God’s sacred treasure to make her understand the danger.
“I see. Um, it is best not to use it too much, right?”
“I think so too, but since I plan to use it on the Dark Elf Island, it would be kind of scary if I didn’t master it to some extent.”
It would be a disaster if something happened to the Dark Elf Island on the spur of the moment. Felicia. I’m going to practice properly, so don’t look at me with such a worried face.
“Oh, it would be a problem if something happened to the island, wouldn’t it?”
“Yes. But originally, I wanted to manipulate the ocean currents to keep ships away from the island, but it was a more powerful sacred treasure than I expected, so it would be a perfect defense.”
The question is how far to go, but I think it is possible to create a legendary island that is impenetrable unless you can fly over it. At the very least, I want to make it more impenetrable than the southeast island. After that, I want to seal it off if possible.
“So, if it’s not too dangerous, I’ll accept requests, so please let me know what you want me to do.”
“Even though you say it so casually, it’s hard to ask for something like that.”
That was my intention, but I may have threatened her too much.
“Then I will. Master, can you make the waves more violent in one part and keep them that way?”
Felicia also seems to be thinking about defending the island. It’s a good idea because it’s hard to get close to the island if the waves are just too violent.
“I understand. I’ll try it.”
I’ll try to make the waves more violent in a place a little farther away, about the size of five tatami mats.
“That is great. Master, how long can you keep it up?”
It is indeed amazing: the waves only swell like a storm within an area of about five tatami mats, but they don’t affect the rest of the area in the slightest.
“It seems that when you want to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure, you can set the time, so it seems possible to maintain this state indefinitely until the next time you want to use it.”
Sea God’s sacred treasure… It’s at the level where it’s hard to even describe in words how amazing it is. To put it simply… It is as expected of the sacred treasure.
“Is it possible to surround the entire Dark Elf Island with these waves?”
“Yes. I think it would be relatively easy.”
It seems to me that just surrounding a large area with more awesome waves would make it impenetrable. But then, the dark elves would not be able to leave the island, so I would have to think of a way.
“Ara, Wataru-san. We’re surrounded.”
Ilma-san’s voice made me look around, and I saw human faces sticking out of the water surrounding our ship. It’s a somewhat frightening sight.
Sea God-sama said that they would come if I used the Sea God’s sacred treasure, but it seems that the mermaids appeared sooner than I expected.
It is good that the mermaids showed up as planned, but… why are they all men? Mermaids are basically beautiful women, aren’t they? Can’t I just push away the handsome mermaid or the man’s dream with… the Sea God’s sacred treasure?
