Chapter 31 – Promise
At Sea God-sama’s request, I took the queen and the two princesses to the church. For some reason, I didn’t want to interfere, so I let only the queen and the princesses into the church, and I stayed behind with Lea-san… but it was hard for Lea-san, who was very moved by the oracle of the Sea God-sama, to stay behind and be different from the usual. In the end, it would have been hard either way.
And it’s still very hard now.
“O-o-oh, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe this is happening! O-oh, that was such a compassionate, loving, powerful, majestic voice!”
“That’s right, Mother. And He was so concerned for us! He even spoke to me and told me to support my mother and do my best… ugh…”
“Me too! Me too! He told me that since I was going to the Dark Elf Island that Wataru-sama cherishes, I should honorably fulfill my duties as a princess and do my best to support Wataru-sama! I will do my best!”
Her Majesty the Queen clasped her hands to her chest and spoke as if looking up to the sky.
Then Princess Adalicia shed tears of joy as she clung to Her Majesty, who was so moved.
Princess Annemarie then clasps her hands and declares that she will do her best.
Then Lea-san, standing by her side, gently wipes away her tears.
An oracle from the Sea God-sama, in whom they believe with all their hearts. It’s understandable to be moved to tears, and it may be a moving sight, but it’s already evening, you know? How many times are you going to repeat the same thing?
I think I’m a pretty patient person when it comes to women and children, but I’m really getting tired. How did this happen?
Uh… Her Majesty the Queen and the others came out of the church in a state of abandonment. I tried to talk to them a few times, but they became distant and didn’t respond.
Fortunately, they walked with me when I pulled their hands, so I took them back to their rooms with me and Lea-san.
While we were on our way, we were spotted by a group of mermaids who were sightseeing on the luxury liner, and they were worried about Her Majesty, who was acting strangely and almost caused a commotion.
When we finally arrived at the room, the mermaids who had been waiting for us began to make a fuss, and I did my best to explain the situation to them.
Since I couldn’t talk about Sea God-sama, it was very difficult to explain the situation of Her Majesty the Queen and the others without being too blunt.
We sat them down on the sofa in the room to see how they were doing, but even after waiting for about 30 minutes, Her Majesty the Queen and the others could not get out of their state of abandonment.
It was lunchtime, and Ines and Felicia came to ask what we were going to do about lunch, but we couldn’t get the Queen and the others out of their state, so we decided to treat the mermaids in the main dining room in cooperation with Alessia-san and the others.
After a while, the queen and the others finally came to their senses, and we treated them to a hot cup of tea.
After taking a sigh of relief after drinking the tea, Her Majesty the Queen sent the mermaids and maids out of the room, except for Lea-san and me, and then the raging praise of Sea God-sama began.
Her Majesty the Queen and the two princesses spoke with a rough snort, which I thought was not a good way to describe a beautiful woman, a girl, or a young girl.
They never stopped talking about how wonderful it was and what they had been told. And then Lea-san, whose interest was already through the roof, started asking more and more questions, so it was like a never-ending hell.
Ines, who came to tell me that she had finished eating, left me and ran away because of the bizarre atmosphere. So, I am still the only human being in this room.
I promised Ines that I’d give her a good spanking tonight, and with that as support, I’m dealing with Her Majesty the Queen and the others.
I keep wishing that Rimu was with me, but he never shows up. I think he’s probably having a snack with Carla-san or someone.
The content of what was said was simple, except for the praise of the Sea God-sama.
It was not the mermaids’ fault that the Sea God’s sacred treasure was taken away from them.
He could not give the oracle, but he always watched over them.
The queen leads the mermaids and rules the country well.
I heard that they received such words.
I wondered why it took so long for just a few words. I wondered and asked, and it seemed that Sea God-sama was asking the queen and the others various questions.
It was like a relative’s uncle asking his niece, and my brain refused to understand it halfway through, so I didn’t know the details.
The raging praise of Sea God-sama finally ended, and I thought they had finally calmed down over a cup of tea, but suddenly, the praise of Sea God-sama started to repeat like a seizure.
It is difficult to see the end.
However, I can’t join in the praise forever. I couldn’t eat lunch, but it would be polite if I entertained everyone, at least for dinner.
I am not saying this because I want to escape the mermaids but because it is my duty as an adult. It was a natural adult duty. So it’s only natural that I leave the room to get ready.
But first I have to ask her something.
“Excuse me, Your Majesty the Queen. May I have a word?”
I call her just as the sketch ends. If I miss that moment, I will have to wait another 20 minutes if I am not careful.
“Oh, yes. Wataru-sama, what is it?”
She is a wonderfully sexy queen when she is calm like this.
Her Majesty’s confidence in me is growing without me knowing the upper limit, but now I can’t even say ecchi things without being careless.
If things go wrong, she might say, “If Wataru-sama wishes it,” and surrender like a martyr ready to be sacrificed.
My image has changed dramatically since the oracle of Sea God-sama. I miss the old days when I thought of nyan-nyan. My first love is gone… I feel the same sadness when I remember it.
Well, it doesn’t matter; just as it is said that the first love is barren, there is no way that the adventure with Her Majesty the Queen will be fruitful. Let’s stop dreaming and look at reality.
“Um, you got permission from Sea God-sama to give me the holy treasure that turns me into a mermaid, didn’t you?
Can I get my reward soon?
“Eh? …No, such a talk was not given to me by Sea God-sama…”
Her Majesty the Queen is at a loss for words. I have an incredibly bad feeling about this.
“Could it be that Sea God-sama never mentioned such a thing to you?”
“Yes…”
What does it mean? What does it mean, Sea God-sama?
You said it, didn’t you? Sea God-sama, didn’t you say that? Didn’t you say that you would give me permission if I brought Her Majesty the Queen and the others?
I did my best, didn’t I?
As a result, I had to suffer the torment of listening to Sea God-sama’s praises endlessly, and you didn’t give me permission?
How can I express this feeling?
Ah, maybe the expression that the main character in some manga said fits perfectly. It’s like… that I was broken with a snap.
“Sea God-sama! You’re banned!”
I shouted loudly as I looked up at the ceiling. You’re watching me anyway, aren’t you? You’re watching Her Majesty and the others praising you with a grin, aren’t you?
I won’t allow it. I will refuse you boarding!
You should just stay at home in the divine realm while the other gods enjoy the pleasures and delicacies of the other world.
“Um… Wataru-sama, what did you mean when you said that Sea God-sama is banned?”
Her Majesty the Queen, who had backed away when I suddenly started yelling, asked me anxiously, perhaps because it was about Sea God-sama. I guess she didn’t understand the word “banned.”
I was so upset that I accidentally shouted, but I’m glad she didn’t understand me. If she had understood, there was a possibility that she would have found out that God had come to visit here, right?
“No, it was no big deal. I’m sorry I yelled all of a sudden.”
“It didn’t seem like harmless behavior, did it?”
Her Majesty the Queen is staring at me. In general, she gives me a priority, but when it comes to Sea God-sama, she can’t resist confirming it.
I don’t want my impression to fade like this, so I should explain to her what I promised to do.
I had kept quiet about it because of the image of Sea God-sama, but now that it’s come to this, I’m going to tell Her Majesty the truth about my selfishness.
“Well, by appealing to the Creator God-sama… Sea God-sama gave the oracle with such a strong feeling, didn’t he?”
Huh? Why are you impressed? It’s a story about how Sea God-sama was selfish and caused a lot of trouble, right?
“No, I’m talking about Sea God-sama not keeping his promise, right?”
You should always keep your promises. It’s a basic thing you learn as a child.
Her Majesty the Queen gently turned away from me. I see; you understand that Sea God-sama is to blame.
But she couldn’t agree with my complaint against Sea God-sama, so she focused on something else.
Well, I’m relieved that she didn’t start saying that everything God says is right. Fanatics are scary, aren’t they?
…But now that I’m relieved, I’m starting to cool down a little bit.
A short while ago, I could have refused to receive the sacred treasure in anger but to tell the truth, my anger has already subsided.
It is strange that I feel a rush of regret when I do this. What should I do to settle the score with Sea God-sama?
When I think about it calmly, it’s not worth it to give up the sacred treasure after being pushed around by a beautiful woman for half a day and then pick a fight with Sea God-sama.
Why did I get so angry back then? I guess everyone makes mistakes, but to do it to a god is not good, is it? I said something like, “You are banned.”
I wonder if Sea God-sama wasn’t watching when I shouted “banned”?
…My luck is pretty low, isn’t it?
…Okay, let’s apologize. Let’s go apologize to him and be prepared to get down on my knees and say I’m sorry I got mad at him as a human being.
Basically, it’s about getting involved in the long game. Selling a fight to God is outrageous.
It would be foolish to ban the Sea God-sama when I spend most of my life on a ship.
“Well, Your Majesty the Queen. I must prepare for dinner tonight, so I’d better be going. A lot has happened, so please take a short break. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
“Eh, Wataru-sama?”
Receiving the confused voice of Her Majesty the Queen behind me, I silently bow to the slightly nervous Lea-san and quickly leave the room. Come on, let’s go. Please, please. Please call me into the divine realm.
＊＊＊
“Haha, Wataru-kun, you said it well. Sea God, it’s very funny that you’re being banned by a human. Hahahahahaha.”
It was good that I prayed at the church and was immediately called to the divine realm, but the worst thing is Creator God-sama, who is somehow pestering Sea God-sama in a schoolgirl-like manner from the old days.
Can I get through this situation?
