Chapter 20 – Surprisingly Easy?
I welcomed Her Majesty the Mermaid Queen, Adelheid-sama, and four of her escorts aboard the Lutto and told them about Sea God-sama’s words. Her Majesty the Queen and her four escorts were both moved to tears, but after they calmed down, they asked me how I got the word from Sea God-sama. It’s hard to know to what extent I should answer.
“If you can’t, that’s okay. I apologize for asking such a rude question.”
When I was troubled, Her Majesty the Queen apologized to me. It seemed that I had made her feel uncomfortable. Her Majesty the Queen and her escorts seem to adore Sea God-sama and are overly polite to me.
Even though it was the Sea God-sama’s effect, it is still polite to be as sincere as possible to those who are willing to face you properly.
“No, I was just wondering what to tell you. I’m also not sure how much to tell you, so please forgive me. Besides, it would be easier for us to talk if you could sit on the sofa.”
I don’t have the courage to continue talking with Her Majesty the Queen on her knees on the floor, so I ask her to sit as she is.
“Excuse me. The fact that you are willing to speak to me is enough. Thank you for your kind attention.”
Her Majesty the Queen, who has taken her seat again, urges me to continue the conversation. Well, how should I talk?
“Well, first of all, I am related to a certain divine realm, and I am able to exchange words with Creator God-sama from time to time. Then, by chance, I received the Sea God’s sacred treasure, but I didn’t know how to use it, so I asked Creator God-sama how to use it. Then, after some discussion, I finally talked to Sea God-sama, and he gave me permission to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure and gave me a word to the mermaids.”
I may have explained it in a rough way, but I also feel that I talked too much. But I didn’t lie, did I?
“So… Wataru-sama is the messenger of Creator God-sama?”
Her Majesty the Queen, her face pale, asks the question in an anxious manner. Hmm, she’s using the “Sama” suffix again. I’m more like a receptionist than a messenger of the Creator God-sama, you know?
“No, I’m not in such a high position. How shall I put it… an errand boy?”
“Even if you ask me, being an errand boy for Creator God-sama is quite an amazing thing…”
Yes. I can understand that somehow. The cathedral in Palermo is also a sacred place, but Creator God-sama seems to have very little to do with it. I’m from a different world, so he just approaches me for entertainment.
Alessia-san, who was listening next to me, looked at me with a look that said I was talking too much. It’s true that if I keep talking like this, I’ll end up talking about strange things and invoking a version of a fox that borrows the authority of a tiger, saying that I have the Creator God-sama in my back.
No, it’s already been invoked. I don’t want to humble her any further, so I’ll stop talking about Creator God-sama and talk about Sea God-sama. There are still many things to talk about.
“Well, it’s not like I really have any influence in the world in relation to the Creator God-sama, so it’s not like I’m all that great. Back to the story, when I was given the word, Sea God-sama asked me to help the mermaids because they were in trouble. I don’t know what the trouble is, but if I can help you, I’ll cooperate.”
“Well…”
The pale complexion of Her Majesty the Queen changed to a moist and passionate expression, as if she was moved… or moved by Sea God-sama’s thoughtfulness. It’s a very mature and sexy look.
I wonder if, for Her Majesty the Queen, Creator God-sama is an object of fear and Sea God-sama is an object of affection. If she actually met him, she would definitely find Sea God-sama more dignified than Creator God-sama, but since she has never met him, it is understandable that she would be afraid of him just because of the name Creator God-sama.
“So, what do we do now?”
I called to Her Majesty the Queen, whose soul seemed to have flown somewhere, and she looked back at me with a surprised look on her face and apologized. Maybe I’m the number one person who made Her Majesty the Mermaid Queen bow her head. I’m not very happy about it, but in a way, it’s probably a great accomplishment.
“I apologize for the inconvenience, but could you please listen to me?”
After thinking for a moment, Her Majesty the Queen spoke to me as if she had made up her mind. To be honest, I don’t like being inconvenienced, but that doesn’t mean I won’t listen. I looked at Alessia-san, and she nodded silently, and with the words of the Sea God-sama, I couldn’t run away from her.
“Yes. Please let me hear it. If I can help you, I will do my best.”
I assured her that I would do my best, but if I were a hero or a brave man or something like that, I would have assured her that she could leave it to me. Is that part of the reason why I can’t build a harem right now? It’s hard to be cool.
＊＊＊
“…And that’s what this is all about.”
I see, so the original culprit is the otherworlder who stole the Sea God’s sacred treasure.
After stealing the Sea God’s sacred treasure, he could have just run away normally, but he wanted to test the Sea God’s sacred treasure he had obtained, or maybe he was disturbed by his pursuers, and he disturbed the ocean currents around the mermaid country.
Before the currents were disturbed, the complicated and violent currents surrounded the mermaid country except for certain routes, and even the Sea Serpent could not approach what seemed to be a peaceful country.
If a danger zone is created in the country and monsters start to invade, that would certainly be a problem, wouldn’t it? However, it seems that they have taken care of the situation, so it seems that they are in trouble but not in a desperate situation.
However, I wonder why the Creator God-sama would give such an annoying otherworlder such a cheat. Unless he thinks about it a little more, I feel ashamed of myself as an otherworlder.
…Huh? But is this a surprisingly simple story? I was prepared to be forced to do difficult tasks such as fighting very strong monsters and obtaining rare secret medicines because they said it would be an inconvenience, so it’s a bit of a letdown, isn’t it? Or is it a difficult task because I don’t understand it well enough?
“Well, from what you asked, I think I can handle the Sea God’s sacred treasure, but… am I wrong?”
“No, if you can help us with the Sea God’s sacred treasure, I think there is a good chance that it can be handled. At the very least, the situation should improve. However, we who have lived for a long time since we lost the Sea God’s sacred treasure can’t judge how difficult it would be for you.”
“I see. Is that what you mean?”
I think it would be a piece of cake for me to make full use of the Sea God’s sacred treasure. That’s too bad. If it was a piece of cake, I should have taken it on and solved it in a cool way.
…Pretended it was difficult, and finally achieved it after a lot of hard work! How about acting like that? Then the beautiful mermaids would thank me, and I would be very popular with them?
Oh, no. After all, Sea God-sama is watching from the divine realm, isn’t he? That would be the worst possible impression for an otherworlder… who uses his own sacred treasure to exaggerate his benevolence toward the mermaids he cares about. If it’s bad enough, even the permission to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure will probably be revoked.
Besides, if Creator God-sama or the God of Entertainment-sama saw it, they would surely tease me the next time I saw them.
It’s a great advantage to be able to see the gods, but it’s a hassle to have to even think about the impression I’m making on them. I know they say the heavens are watching us, but it’s a lot of pressure to actually be watched.
“Wataru-san. Are you okay?”
Alessia-san asked a little uneasily as if unable to make a decision.
“I think I need to practice using the Sea God’s sacred treasure, but I think it probably won’t be a problem.”
“Really?”
Oof. Her Majesty the Queen, who was delighted, held both of my hands. I’m very happy, but Her Majesty the Queen is a married woman… or a mermaid wife.
I can’t help but feel that “married woman” has a somewhat ecchi sound to it, but the sound of “mermaid wife” calms my emotions. It’s a strange feeling, even though Her Majesty the Queen in front of me is still a beautiful woman.
“Yes. Since I have the permission of Sea God-sama, I don’t think it will be too difficult to use the Sea God’s sacred treasure. However, I don’t know how to make the currents flow, so you will have to give me instructions on that.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Um, well, the country has changed a lot since the old days, so I am sure there will be some changes in the ocean currents. Would you be able to handle that?”
I see; it has been a long time since the ocean currents were messed up, so it would be inconvenient to just make them the same as before.
Hmm? Come to think of it, if the currents are so complicated and intertwined, it would be like a puzzle to restore them to their original form or to operate them according to new requirements, which would be difficult.
“If you give me instructions, I will just move the ocean currents accordingly, so there is no problem in making changes. However, if it becomes too complicated, I think it would be easier to stop all the currents and start from scratch.”
“I see… can you give us some time to discuss what should be done in the country?”
It is difficult even for Her Majesty the Queen to make a decision on this occasion since it is something like renovating or rebuilding the city walls that protect the country.
“I have some business that I can’t miss, but I plan to stay in the Aquamarine Kingdom for about ten days. I think it is possible to extend our stay to some extent, but if it takes too long, we might have to go to another country once.”
It’s like a vacation, so there’s plenty of time, but I can’t promise a long stay because the stress of Ines and the offerings to the king might make it difficult for us to stay in the Aquamarine Kingdom.
“We’ve already checked the currents and holes for safety precautions, so I think we can make a decision without taking too much time.”
Then it should be no problem. It would be easier to take time after receiving Creator God-sama and the other gods and after receiving Ines’ family, so I would ask her to contact the innkeeper of the Mermaid Inn in about ten days.
Hmm? If the situation improves, will we be able to visit the mermaid country? It’s hard to stay in a submarine for a long time, so it would be great if there were a place in the mermaid country where there was air.
No, it would be good to build such a place as well. It seems possible to breathe air if I make good use of the Sea God’s sacred treasure, doesn’t it? I’ll make a request to Her Majesty the Queen. Oh, we also need to discuss the ownership of the Sea God’s sacred treasure.
