Chapter 350. The purpose is tourism only (2)


    “Who came up with the concept of this city? Could it be that the mermaids invented it?”


    I suddenly became interested.


    Because, apparently, it was not what a normal person thought.


    Could this be confidential?


    After thinking about it for a while, E told me about the inventor.


    “There is one who is called a wise man.”


    “Sage?”


    What''s the name you remember?


    “Yes, Her Majesty''s teacher and the one who advised me a lot after Kelia''s unification. We know that this city too was designed by him.”


    “That''s... amazing.”


    I became interested in that sage.


    I''d like to meet you face to face when the opportunity arises.


    I want to go sightseeing by the sea right now, but I can''t.


    Above all, the representative of this ce asked to see us, so we decided to meet the representative first.


    And then, it was time for a quick meal.


    Sightseeing is good, but dinner is first.


    The castle where the representative, the manager of the city, also stayed was also somewhat unusual in general performance.


    There is a structure above it, and a structure like a rock cave extends below the surface of the water.


    “Hey, is it to meet those who live onnd and those who live below the surface at the same time?”


    It must have a different meaning besides showing off.


    Those who live in the water may be misunderstood as closed-minded people in the eyes of those who live outside.


    Isn''t that why the representative of this ce has a castle both above and below the surface?


    I roughly guessed that.


    I''d like to examine the castle more, but that would be too rude.


    First of all, we went to meet the owner of this ce.


    “Nice to meet you. I am Relpha, one of the owners of this city.”


    “…This is Gwe. Haahaham ....


    The city of the city who weed us was two people.


    one is familiar


    I wondered where I had seen it, and it was the mermaid at the party.


    The upper body of a human lower body of a fish, a mermaid bows politely in the water droplets.


    It''s like a fish in a fishbowl.


    And the only one left is the Siren.


    It is this race with the feathers of a bird and the body of a human.


    However, since this is nocturnal, he doesn''t seem very energetic right now.


    Come to think of it, it is said that sirens lure humans on ships at night and sink them. does it have anything to do with it?


    “Now… thank you.”


    She waved as if she were about to fall down at any moment and said hello.


    No, if it''s hard, just go and sleep.


    “both. Are you the representative of this ce?”


    “It is.”


    “...they rule half above and half below. ha ha ha ha.”


    As far as I''ve heard, there used to be a tribe of mermaids on the bottom of the sea and sirens on the shoreline living in this area from the beginning.


    After the integration, of course, there was an opinion to make this ce with a good view a tourist destination, and they followed suit.


    The question was who would be the representative of the city.


    “Anyway, we mermaids have no interest in the world outside the water. Even if there is, I can''t move. The current system provides the necessary nourishment.”


    “…That’s probably why?”


    “Indeed, that is why the ruling system was divided into two. Siren out of the water.


    Mermaids do not have water.”


    After roughly understanding the situation, we enjoyed a dinner prepared by the girls.


    As a city located on the sea, most of the dinners served were fish or seafood.


    The food was ptable enough.


    I could say that it was a level that could be given a passing grade.


    Although this dish was slightly different from what the two representatives ate, perhaps it was for guests like us.


    Theirs is raw fish.


    Even Pena was startled when the Mermaid and the Sirens each ate the whole jumping fish.


    Still, it was understandable.


    That''s because, unlike us, they are normal that way.


    Hmmm... is it raw fish by the way?


    It must be fresh... Sashimi.


    Why does that side look more envious for some reason?


    I resisted wanting to say, ‘Give me that!''


    If I knew it would be like this, I should have made a chojang!


    Perhaps I am the only one thinking this way.


    After finishing the meal like that, we had tea and chatted lightly.


    Even insignificant stories such as life in this city are information that can help us gauge the future.


    And they, too, were interested in our sentiments.


    “What is the impression of this ce to the guests?”


    “well? I can''te to a conclusion because I haven''t looked back yet, but I was very surprised too. I feel like I came up with a very strange idea. It literally feels like a ‘city living with water''.”


    “...Unexpected. Quul...


    The Siren side is already halfway to thend of dreams.


    So you just go and sleep. I feel more sorry for calling you out for no reason.


    “How does itpare to the human state?”


    “There are many differences, but if I were to give an example, the tableware was surprising. Even this teacup, for example.”


    I said while slightly holding up the teacup containing the tea.


    A transparent teacup with a blue tint.


    What is interesting about this is the material that makes up this teacup.


    If this is something, it is ‘water''.


    It was to fix the shape of water and use it like a ss.


    “Is this magic too? How amazing. Utensils made of water.”


    Pena also touched the teacup curiously.


    Surprisingly, even if you touch it like this, the sensation is not much different from that of ss.


    When you tap lightly with your finger like this, a clear sound resonates like clean ss.


    Not only the tea cups, but also the tableware that contained the dinner a while ago were made of water as well.


    Thinking of making utensils with water?


    “It''s a pretty good idea. This, too, can be seen all over the city, right? I caught a glimpse of a store that sells them.”


    “Yes, unlike us, humans or… other races say they need these tools. But we don''t have craftsmanship or cksmithing skills like the dwarves, and it''s difficult to find wood to use wooden utensils.”


    “...Instead of that, there is plenty of water... Rather, it''s just water.”


    “indeed! That''s why I came up with this recement.”


    It is not simply a substitute.


    I can guarantee you that this alone will catch your eye quite a bit.


    In a sense, it is like a work of art with practicality.


    “But will this form be maintained even outside the city?”


    “Yes, you can use it permanently even outside the city. Of course, since it has the same strength as ordinary ss, it will go back to water when impacted.”


    It''s probably safer than shards of ss.


    “I would appreciate it if you could purchase it at Arel-nim''s store in the future.”


    This... I''m aiming, I''m aiming.


    It is not just a novelty item that attracts attention, but it is also thought of as a product unique to this ce.


    “Could this also be what the... sage thought?”


    “Yes, it is his suggestion.”


    As if they had nothing to hide, they affirmed.


    “Hmm?????


    I thought about it as I touched the cup again with my fingertips.


    After all, this.....


    “...What''s wrong?”


    Pena noticed that I was struggling for a while and asked in a low voice.


    “not a big deal. It''s just... I just thought that the guy who came up with this is doing it quite a bit.”


    I thought the tourist destination would be the exclusive property of Fahilia, but I saw this a little bit again.


    However, the feelings I have are not useless like a sense of crisis or jealousy.


    I''m not that petty.


    It''s anticipation.


    Even in a foreign country, having more ces to see and y is a desirable thing.


    Especially if someone else made it, not me, it would be even more wee.


    the world expands


    I''m really looking forward to the future.


    As I was so happy, the mermaid representative asked cautiously.


    “What will you do with your schedule today? If you would like to see the city, I will attach a guide.”


    “...You can look up and down. I especially rmend the following.”


    no i can''t go down Common sense.


    It looks like a moth is aching because it wants to sink in the water in case someone isn''t a siren.


    Anyway, there is already a ce.


    My answer is always fixed.


    “It is interesting to see the city, but there are ces I want to go first. There is a ce you have your eye on.”


    Now that we''re at sea, there''s only one ce to go.


    “Looks like there’s a nice spot over there on the waterfront. Can I spend some time there?”


    If youe to the beach, of course you have to go to the sea!


    I was aiming for it from the beginning and had my eye on it.


    Even if it''s not, today''s temperature is moderately hot and the sky is clear.


    If you don''t go to the sea on a day like this, you''ll probably regret it for the rest of your life.


    And what begins when you go to sea?


    How to y in the water right away!


    Therefore, I strongly insisted on going to y in the water.


    “Come to think of it, Arel-sama always felt sorry for him whenever he went to the port city.”


    “Is it?”


    “Yes, it seems that Arel-sama wanted to y in the sea.”


    “So Arell… aha, that’s why it’s like that. After all, there was a ce for a big water y in the castle too.”


    “You seem to like water quite a bit.”


    What am I...


    I was fascinated by their conversation while enjoying the moderately cool feel of the water.


    Currently we were spending time on the sea in front of the beach.


    With a huge boat floating and a parasol spread on it, Pena is enjoying a cool drink there, and her aides are talking while guarding the surroundings.


    And I am in the sea to enjoy one of my original purposes, bathing.


    Instead of a tube, she attached a magic tool that floats her body on the water, and floats gracefully as it is.


    The feeling of moderately cold water and the feeling of floating are pleasant.


    okay! I wanted something like this. This feeling is the true sea.


    If there''s one thing I''m sorry for... I nced at the women who were chatting on the boat.


    Specifically, their outfits. It''s thin for ying in the water, but it''s stillrge.


    ‘Shouldn''t I have developed a swimsuit as a new product?''


    But I gave up. No matter how much it is, it can''t be epted in this era.


    I decided to get rid of my thoughts and just enjoy ying in the water.


    If you are tired of floating around after ying like this.


    “Pena! Give me those grapes over there!”


    “…Really like this? Will you be okay like this?”


    Pena was a bit puzzled, picked some grapes from the tray and threw them at me.


    smooth. I deftly take it in my mouth as it flies away.


    Mmm! It''s refreshing!


    It takes a trick to get it, but it''s convenient.


    “Ah... this is unexpected...


    At first, Pena, who was hesitant about what this was doing, also suits my entricity and makes an expression of something interesting.


    However, something seemsplicated.


    It feels like feeding them at the zoo.


    In fact, I feel half the same way.


    That''s why it''s like a sea otter.


    It''d be nice to be able to spend a leisurely time like this. I''d rather be a sea otter in my next life.


    Although it is a lie.


    “Arel, does that make you feel good?”


    Looking at me floating near the boat, Pena asked in a slightly absurd manner.


    Although it looks like this, it is surprisinglyfortable.


    I''m sorry I can''t understand you.


    “Would you rathere with me? this is pretty good You could say it felt like being in arge water bed. And because it''s cool.”


    “I’m going to decline… For some reason, if I go into the sea water, my skin will get worse… And it looks a bit off.”


    what do you think it looks like


    You threw something to eat as if you were having fun a little while ago.


    In return, I sprinkled a little water on it.


    Where do you taste the seawater?


    “oh?”


    However, Undine, the spirit of Pena, pops up to block the water I sprinkled.


    She said “Whoops!” and smile proudly It was the face that expected such a prank.


    I clicked my tongue and floated again, giving myself over to the feeling of floating on the surface of the water.


    never pissed off
