Chapter 19 – Copernican Revolution
A dinner party hosted by Her Majesty the Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom. I, who was supposed to be an invited guest, somehow ended up enjoying the dinner party at the honorary seat where Her Majesty the Queen should be sitting. The glory of Creator God-sama is so strong that my mind is exhausted.
“I apologize for the urgency of this request at such a busy time of day.”
I asked to meet Her Majesty the Queen, and the room I was shown to seemed to be her office. It was an urgent request, so I guess they didn’t have time to arrange the place. I was really sorry.
But, you know, the office of the Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom is very rare in a way.
And the atmosphere of the office is wonderful in proportion to its rarity.
Perhaps it is because the furnishings are unique to the underwater world, but coral and shells are used everywhere, and it has an appearance that is both luxurious and magnificent yet has the elegance of a queen.
To put it simply, it is very beautiful.
“No, Wataru-sama is the benefactor of this country, and you are welcome to visit me at any time. Now, please take a seat over there.”
I apologize, and Her Majesty the Queen smiles graciously and offers me a seat.
I can’t read her emotions at all, so I can’t tell if she’s angry, in a good mood, or even normal.
It was very easy to understand when she received the oracle of the Sea God-sama, but I guess that time was special.
Well, there is nothing I can do about it now, so I will take advantage of her kind words and tell her.
…But the mermaid chair is still interesting, even after all this time.
Since the lower half of the body is in the shape of a fish, it is shaped like a gentle mountain so that it does not become a burden, and when you lean against it, it stabilizes your body as if it were sucking on you.
This is not a bad sitting experience, but there is actually something that I’m not sure if it can be called a chair… that I’m a little curious about.
When I was sightseeing outside the castle, I saw a lot of mermaids using jars as chairs, or rather, inside the jars.
I was curious to see what was going on inside the jars, and I thought it looked very relaxing.
“So, Wataru-sama, you said you wanted to ask me something today?”
“Oh, yes, I did. It’s not about the jar… but, um, I have a favor to ask you about Pent.”
Thinking about the jar, I almost made a strange request to Her Majesty the Queen. If it’s just an ordinary jar used in the city, I don’t need to ask Her Majesty for it.
While stroking Pent, who is wrapped around the chair I am sitting on, I tell Her Majesty the original purpose of my request.
“About Pent-sama?”
…It’s terribly strange for a sea serpent to be addressed with ‘sama’ by Her Majesty the Queen of the Mermaids. Well, if I keep complaining about things like that, the story won’t go anywhere, so I’ll explain the situation for now.
But first, let’s collect the group of mermaid-shaped slimes with tiny tails that are swimming around in Her Majesty’s office.
I don’t think Rimu and the others will break anything, but that’s another matter.
“Um, Your Majesty?”
I call to Her Majesty, who has turned her head to the sky and frozen, but she doesn’t move an inch. Ah, but she seems to be moved to tears.
When you talk to a mermaid about the Sea God-sama, she becomes emotionally unstable. Is that common for mermaids?
It’s not as if Sea God-sama spoke to her directly this time, and she usually believes in him, so she must be talking and thinking about him. So, it seems that the first step is to know how Sea God-sama feels about helping the mermaids.
…I think Pent has the Sea God-sama’s blessing, even if it’s very small. If the mermaid finds out about the blessing, he will likely be treated as a divine beast or divine messenger.
A sea serpent-like divine use seems very strong.
“Forgive me.”
Oh, Her Majesty the Queen has been rebooted. As expected, she’s revived faster than when she was given the oracle directly. At that time, it wasn’t just a processing error; it was as if an error had been discovered.
“No, there is no problem for us. Is Your Majesty the Queen all right?”
“Yes. I was just touched to know that Sea God-sama is concerned about us. Yes, there is no problem. It’s the holy treasure that changes the size of the body, I understand, and I will have it prepared immediately.”
“Uh, no, Your Majesty, wait a minute. You left out the part about helping the Mermaid Kingdom.”
The devil in my head whispered to me that it would be fine to just take it as it is, but as the one who will get into trouble if the promise with Sea God-sama is forgotten, I would feel bad for Sea God-sama if I did not get the reward through proper means.
Also, it is not good because if Creator God-sama finds out that I got the holy treasure through dishonest means, it will be very troublesome. Creator God-sama, who is under a lot of stress, will make a big fuss here and there.
“Is that so…?”
Oh, no. I knew it was suspicious when the word Sea God-sama was mentioned, but my request was not properly conveyed.
I’ll explain it again. I’m trying to avoid the word Sea God-sama as much as possible.
“I see, so how about showing us something called a magical girl anime?”
It seems that Her Majesty the Queen’s head is buggy. I thought it rebooted surprisingly quickly, but I guess it’s only on the surface, and the internal process hasn’t caught up.
“Since we are talking about being useful in the Mermaid Kingdom, I think watching anime would be different.”
“Is that so? According to Annemarie, it’s a masterpiece, sprinkled with love, justice, dreams, hopes and a variety of other emotions, and she was enthusiastic about helping to bring about world peace…”
Princess Annemarie proselytized magical girls in an extraordinary way.
It’s normal to proselytize from close proximity, so it’s not hard to understand why she proselytized to her mother, Her Majesty the Queen, but please think about your position.
Her Majesty the Queen is very interested in girl-oriented anime. What does she mean by “contributing to world peace”? No, it is a work that makes you think deeply about love and peace, right? But you have to distinguish between reality and fiction.
At this rate, not only Her Majesty the Queen but also Princess Adalicia and… at least the people around the royal family will probably spread the word.
Knowledge cheats in another world. Even though I’m a beneficiary of that, I don’t think it’s the same as spreading magical girls.
Culture is something that develops gradually, and putting magical girls in a place where people enjoy fairy tales and legends as entertainment is just evil… Well, I can’t say that since I’m spreading high-quality cosmetics and beauty products in a world where soap is not even used in the private sector…
“Is there anything else you need help with? I think I can help you with some things.”
I’m quite a cheat, so feel free to rely on me.
Except for magical girl stuff.
“Yes, it hasn’t been that long since the country was normalized, so there are many things that worry us…”
Her Majesty the Queen has a hard time saying this. Does she have a lot of difficulties?
“At the moment, the whole country is united in hope and working hard to rebuild, and we want to work with the people to move forward.”
I see, there is no danger, no hardship, but if everyone works hard, they can make the country prosperous. So that’s the situation.
There may be employment problems, and it would be a problem for the country if someone, just because he is a cheat, were to step in and solve the problem in an appropriate way.
Ah, so that’s why it’s magical girls. It’s hard for her to tell me, a benefactor and apostle of the Creator God-sama, that she doesn’t need my help, so she changed the subject to magical girls, which has nothing to do with restoring the country.
I may have forced Her Majesty the Queen to make a difficult decision. I’m sorry for my unnecessary interference.
But that doesn’t mean that proselytizing magical girls is out of the question for me. I have to somehow manage to be active in a way that doesn’t get in the way of the Mermaid Kingdom and in a way that it wouldn’t be a shock for me to receive a divine treasure…
…..There’s no way I can just come up with such a convenient job, is there?
“Then, Your Majesty the Queen, is there anything I can do for you outside of this country?”
If you don’t know, ask. This is important.
And if they don’t need a cheat inside the country, why don’t they use it outside the country, a Copernican solution.
I should be tired, but maybe I’m feeling a little sharp today.
“Outside the country?”
Her Majesty the Queen is worried. I am sorry to ask for something troublesome, but it is the result of the Sea God-sama’s oracle, so I would appreciate it if she could somehow spin out a job for me.
“Ah, I have an idea of what I would like to ask of you!”
Her Majesty the Queen, who had been slumped over and worried for quite some time, looked up with a refreshed expression on her face. I’m truly sorry.
Since I had caused Her Majesty so much trouble, I had no choice but to do my best, even if it was a rather difficult task.
I gulped and swallowed my saliva, nervously waiting for the rest of Her Majesty’s words.
“Actually, after hearing Annemarie’s report, Wataru-sama’s island has attracted quite a bit of attention in the castle.”
It is the island of the dark elves, not mine, but come to think of it, there were some mermaids who refused to return home for fear of being replaced because of the comfort of the dark elves’ island.
“But Wataru-sama’s island is too far from the Mermaid Kingdom.”
“Oh, Your Majesty, it’s not my island, it’s the island of the dark elves.”
It’s a small detail, but I’ll correct it just in case. If I don’t correct it properly, even the dark elves will start saying that the island is my island before I know it.
“I see. I apologize.”
“No, I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation.”
I apologize and ask her to continue the conversation. The way this conversation is going, I wonder if she’s going to ask me to take her to and from the Mermaid Kingdom and Dark Elf Island.
It’s a bit of work, but I can’t leave the village in the Aquamarine Kingdom unattended, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a free ride two or three times a year.
The mermaids are trustworthy, and the dark elves’ world is expanding, so they might be grateful.
“So I was wondering if you could use the Sea God-sama’s divine treasure to create some safe zones between this country and Wataru-sama’s, I mean, the Dark Elf Island?”
It wasn’t a request for a ride. I brought Sea God-sama’s divine treasure with me, but what exactly does she want me to do?
“By safe zone, do you mean that I should create a boundary like the ocean currents that surround this country?”
“Yes. We will provide the equipment, so it would be helpful if you could make it so that the mermaids can escape and rest in peace.”
Hmm. I have a vague idea of what to expect. It would be good if I could create a place under the sea that would act as an oasis in the desert.
If they are to be able to escape in times of danger, a certain number of them are necessary, but having too many of them would be a problem.
If we set up a large, well-equipped barrier that can be used for resting, like an oasis connecting deserts, at a distance of about half a day at the speed at which mermaids can swim, and a smaller, shelter-like barrier for emergency evacuation and just resting in between, it could be managed depending on the number of people, right?
Since the divine treasure of Sea God-sama is powerful, it seems that we could build large barriers for everyone, but that might have a negative effect on the nature and distribution of living creatures under the sea.
I will discuss this area with Her Majesty the Queen, but it’s a pretty big job, so I think it would be balanced even if we received the sacred treasure. Okay, let’s go in that direction.
