Chapter 2 – Mermaids Moving Out
I returned to the dark elf village after a boat trip that turned out to be more difficult than I expected, including building the city in the Aquamarine Kingdom, moving Bella-san and the others, and migrating the dark elves from the Lost Mountain. It would have been easier if the city building could have been completely thrown out to them as planned…
“So happy!”
“…Happy…?”
“Yes. It means I have fun playing with Rimu.”
“…Rimu is happy too…”
…It’s bad! Rimu is so cute; I think I’m going to get a nosebleed.
The day after my return to Dark Elf Island, I’m playing with Rimu in a room in the Chateau.
Not that last night’s banquet wasn’t fun, but this kind of relaxed time is probably better for me.
Of course, I don’t dislike the atmosphere of last night’s party, but since I don’t have the temperament of a party person, I think it’s okay to do it once in a while.
For some time now, dark elves and fairies have been on board for the migration, and it has been noisy in both good and bad ways.
In a few days, the dark elves and fairies will be leaving the Chateau to live on Dark Elf Island, and this ship will be quiet again.
It might be a good idea to enjoy the bustling ship while I can. I’ll have to remember to bring snacks in case I get tangled up with the fairies.
“Rimu. Let’s go for a walk.”
“…Walk… Let’s go…”
Rimu is so excited to go for a walk that he jumps up and down. He is so cute.
Now, where shall we go first?
…Well, let’s go to the pool first to see how Pent is doing.
＊＊＊
Yes… Pento looks very healthy.
But for some reason, a lot of fairies are straddling Pent’s long body, so… I’ll call him later.
But that’s the thing, what could have caused this?
＊＊＊
The leisurely time passed quickly as I strolled around the ship with Rimu, summoned the ferry, played crane games with Claretta-san, and did adult things with Ines and Felicia in the evening.
The dark elves who migrated this time are constantly preparing for their migration with the help of the dark elves on the island so they can be left to their own devices.
And today, the mermaids are moving into their underwater village.
However, it seems that the furniture that was delivered from the Mermaid Kingdom has already been brought to the underwater village, and all they have to do now is carry their own belongings individually, so there is no real moving work.
So today is more of a tour of the mermaid village than a move.
Once again, Princess Annemarie is very enthusiastic about showing us around the village. So let’s have fun and remember what the village was like last time.
“Hmm? …This presence is…”
“Master, is something wrong?”
Suddenly, I started to scurry around, and Felicia called out to me worriedly.
“Yes, a little. I’m sorry, but Ines, Felicia, and Rimu, please be quiet for a moment.”
At times like this, it’s easy for me not to pay attention to Pent, who rarely makes a sound.
“…..Right there!”
“Eh?”
“Kyaa!”
I quickly move behind Felicia and run my hand through her long, beautiful silver hair. It’s worth a try!
“Let me go. Let me go!”
I pull my hand out of her hair, and there is a fairy trapped in my hand.
“I knew you were hiding.”
I don’t know if it’s because of my high level or the result of my daily battles with the fairies, but I’ve become able to sense their presence to some extent.
I feel a little empty.
“Look, we’re going out now, so go play with the other kids.”
I let go of the fairy and waved my hand as if to chase her away.
“No! I’m going with you!”
“No, you can’t. Here, I’ll give you a sweet. Give it up.”
“I’ll take the sweets. But I’m going with you!”
The fairy snatched the sweet from my hand and boldly demanded that she come with me.
“I’ll be underwater, so you can’t come with me.”
“I heard that if you have the ring, you can get in!”
I see. It seems that she gets her information from the other fairies who are friends with Princess Annemarie.
This fairy might be a little… or even quite stupid compared to other fairies, but she might be someone not to be underestimated because she has control over information.
“Well, it’s true that you’ll be fine if you have the sacred treasure…”
The fairy’s face lit up at my words. Ugh, fairies are very cute, if only on the outside.
“But I refuse!”
I’ve learned my lesson. I learned that fairies, no matter how cute they are, are enemies. And that in order to confront fairies, you must be resolute and refuse them clearly and unequivocally.
“No! I’m coming with you!”
Well, by showing firm determination, I was able to reduce the damage from the fairy a bit, but it didn’t help much because they still took me for a fool.
It really was a mistake to be fooled by their cuteness in our first encounter.
“Ah, Wataru-sama!”
As I managed to get rid of the fairy and get to the meeting place, Princess Annemarie noticed me and came running.
“Good morning, Annemarie. Please take good care of me today.”
“Good morning. Wataru-sama, Ines-sama, Felicia-sama. You can count on me today!”
Princess Annemarie is very tense. That’s fine, but I’m very worried about the two fairies lying on her head.
One of them must be the fairy who befriended Princess Annemarie. That one, well, has nothing to do with me, so I don’t have a problem with that one.
The question is, why are the second fairies who complained so much and who allegedly took the sweet from me on Princess Annemarie’s head?
“These children? They want to go to the village together, so I’m thinking of taking them with me. Um… was that no good?”
“…N-no, it’s fine, but the… sacred treasure is…”
If they’ve already gotten their hands on Princess Annemarie… does that mean I’ve been tricked by the fairy I thought was the dumbest of the dumb?
“Don’t worry about the sacred treasure; we have a spare!”
“I-I see… then it’s okay…”
Except for my pride…
“Fufu… Master has lost.”
Ines, please don’t push me any further. It makes me want to cry.
“I’m coming with you!”
I’m in shock, but the fairy in question is talking to me with a big smile.
Well, that’s okay. This stupidest of all fairies, being as stupid as she is, plays pranks but never does anything too troublesome.
This time, instead of tricking me, she got a sweet, ran off, and asked to go with Princess Annemarie and the others because she happened to be meeting them.
In fact, she forgot all about the sweets I had given her and innocently asked me for more.
It would be kinder to my psyche if I just assumed it was a coincidence.
“…Let’s go, then.”
＊＊＊
“It’s beautiful, Master.”
“Yes, Felicia. It’s even more beautiful than I imagined.”
There was a commotion before we left, but we arrived safely at the mermaid village, where we found a sight beyond our imagination.
Since it had only been a few months since our last visit, I thought there would not be much change, but I was wrong.
“Fufu, we all worked hard, so I’m glad you’re happy.”
Princess Annemarie was happy to hear our words, but normally, no matter how hard they worked, there would not be such a big change.
The mermaids are probably the only ones who are unusual, as not only Felicia but also Ines and Alessia-san are admiring the village.
The only ones who are not surprised are Rimu and the rest of the slime crew, Pent, and the two fairies who are very excited about swimming for the first time.
The outer walls of the houses that we thought were finished were decorated, and the seaweed that had been growing freely on the sea floor was now neatly arranged.
Even though this alone was quite different, colorful corals were planted on the houses and on the ground.
I had been surprised by Princess Annemarie’s comment that the coral had not yet grown, but the colorful coral was so well balanced and arranged that it was as if the whole village was decorated with flowers, making me feel as if I had stepped into a picture book.
I can hardly wait to see what the landscape will look like when the corals have grown.
“Wataru-sama. This way!”
Princess Annemarie tugged on my hand as I looked at the scenery and started to swim. She seemed to have a place she wanted to show me.
“This is my house!”
It seemed that what Princess Annemarie wanted to show me was her house.
“I see, it’s a beautiful house.”
“Fufu, thank you!”
Princess Annemarie seemed to be very pleased with her house, and with sparkling eyes, she showed her house to the other members of the group. She seemed very happy.
The last time I saw it, I thought it was too small for a princess’s house.
She said she admired fairy tales, and indeed, it looks like a fairy tale.
The house, which was small and simply round, has been transformed into the shape of a giant clam.
Maybe the main character in the fairy tale used a giant clam as a dwelling.
I wonder if the reason why the house is planted with colorful corals instead of just one color is because the giant clam, which died and became just a shell, was taken in by corals of different colors.
I don’t know the fairy tale, so I can only imagine, but it seems to be a very faithful reproduction.
“Look at the inside of the house. Oh, let’s have a tea party! Come inside, everyone.”
When told to go inside…
“Uh, Annemarie, I don’t think we can go inside the house with so many people, can we?”
Even with the small size of Rimu and the other slime group, the two fairies, and Princess Annemarie, they would already take up so much space, but me, Ines, Felicia, Pent, Alessia-san, and Lea-san… even though it is huge as a shell, it is too small as a house to fit more than ten people inside.
“…You’re right.”
Princess Annemarie was disappointed. She is usually a very determined girl, but this is a very rare mistake. I guess she was just so happy to be in her own house.
“Wataru. We’re going to take a tour of the village, so you can have some tea. Oh, and I’ll take care of Pent here as well.”
Alessia-san and the others were very considerate. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take their word for it.
“Thank you very much. Now, Annemarie, please take care of me.”
“Yes!”
The mermaid princess invites us to a tea party in a house that resembles an underwater shell. It sounds more like a fairy tale than a fantasy, but it looks like a lot of fun.
