Ash asked curiously.
“Why is it an old man?”
“There is such a thing.”
Ash and I cheered on Thesilid.
“Fighting, Terry.”
“Cheer up, brother.”
The gondola moved swiftly through the current, propelled by a three-ter giant Marlin, as the battle between man and nature continued.
Then it happened. Suddenly, the rain stopped and my vision blurred.
[ You have entered the ‘Fog of Delusion’ area.]
“Ah, it’s coming out now.”
“Coming out, what is it?”
A creepy cold mist enveloped the surroundings as if it were the breath of a ghost.
The Blue Marlin was quite perceptive even if he was but a fish. As if realizing that it had stumbled into unpleasant territory, it slamd the brakes.
Thanks to this, the gondola stopped in the middle of the foggy sea at night.
The mont Agnes called instead of issuing a warning, I said.
“Now, boys, it’s ti to plug your ears. Blessings of Protection.”
Right at the mont when Thesilid and Ash’s ears were protected with divine power.
Ahhh-! Aaaaa-!
The vocalists of the sea began to play music with a humming ringing.
It was a seductive song, both beautiful and deceptive.
If a man had heard it, he would have thrown himself into the sea in a fit of madness. Of course, as a woman, that didn’t apply to .
I made Ash crouch on the floor and put the tent over him.
Thesilid had no choice but to stay in place because he was in the midst of a lifeti match with the Blue Marlin.
Shhh! Shhh!
The seawater around the boat churned wild in circles.
A number of long fin tails were glimpsed through the cracks in the splashing water, and soon the upper body of human won rose to the surface.
Of course, they weren’t real won.
Fluttering fins protruded from where the ears should have been, their iris was large enough to occupy the entire white of the eyes, and fish scales glistened everywhere on the skin.
It was these disparate features that separated them from humans.
Spirits of the sea, they were rmaids.
Even though this was a demonized place, they were not corrupted yet.
The boss who occupied this place was quite docile unless you touch him, and since his intelligence was low, coexistence was possible in this open sea.
However, it was too soon to be relieved just because the opponent was uncorrupted.
As the nurous fairy tales, folklore, and myths surrounding the rmaids attest, these spirits of the sea did not take kindly to humans.
Especially of n.
A total of twelve rmaids circled around the gondola.
When the sonic attack didn’t work, they must have taken matters into their own hands.
The rmaids giggled and chattered amongst themselves as they closed in on the siege.
Ash must have been caught peeking outside through a crack in the tent.
When I was about to pull the tent back over his head, fortunately, the rmaids stated their own beliefs.
Wow, are all these sisters tankers?
This might be the first ti I’ve ever felt aggro in my life.
And their taunts didn’t end with words alone, the rmaids climbed onto the gondola and stretched out their rake-like hands at Thesilid.
They leaned in seductively, trying to lift his chin with their fingers or grabbing his arms trying to pull him underwater.
Currently, Thesilid is defenseless as he is holding a fishing rod so their rake-like hands were gently ripping apart his uniform.
Alas, I can’t take it any longer.
“Divine punishnt!”
Pakjijijk!
In response to my call, lightning broke through the dark clouds and descended.
A divine lightning bolt struck the sea, not the land. Riding the electrolytes, it spread evenly across the waters of the region.
The power was reduced, but the range was wide and as long as you are subrged in water, defense is impossible.
The rmaids scread in turmoil.
Since stimulation went to the brain, they must have co to their senses.
However, I felt a little sorry for Thesilid.
The Blue Marlin that had been killed in the attack just now floated to the surface.
Thesilid, who was aloof even when the rmaids fumbled his body, sighed deeply this ti.
He must have been really serious about fishing.
“Uh, sorry, Terry.”
Thesilid shook his head as if he had read the shape of my lips. Then he pulled the Marlin and hung it over the side of the boat.
It was because it was so large that it could not be lifted above the ship.
Around that ti, the rmaids regained consciousness while shaking their heads.
I grabbed the arm of one of the rmaids closest to the boat and pulled her up on the gondola.
I tied the youngest rmaid tightly with the Spirit King’s Harp Strings while in the anti, the rest of the rmaids tried to overturn the gondola, but the boat did not budge because of the non–capsizing buff.
“It’s of no use, rmaid sisters. Co on, why don’t we talk?”
The three rmaids, who seed to be the oldest, growled in turn and the corners of the gondola shattered to pieces by the tail fins they nervously snapped around.
It was like a round kick.
“Calm down. As long as you don’t touch the silver-haired paladin here, I have no intention of harassing the youngest.”
To prove it, I cast a heal to the youngest rmaid. Her scales scorched by the lightning were restored cleanly.
Seeing this, the rest of the rmaids’ expressions softened a bit.
“What I really want is conversation.”
I emphasized it again for the disbelieving rmaids.
“Yes.”
“……Could you please stop calling it weirdly?”
[‘The Scales that Judges the Soul’ is saddened by your plight of having to deny the relationship for now because you can’t afford the genre change rights.]
I hope the next update will co with a feature to block divine ssages.
“……Think whatever you want.”
The desire to talk was gradually disappearing from my side. To be honest, I can make do with every one of them with one fist, I should just knock them down with force……
“So, what do you want to talk about with us?”
At least they have good timing.
“rmaid sisters, aren’t you in trouble because of the Boss who occupied this place?”
As if asking how I knew, the rmaids nodded violently.
Troubled sighs were heard. Now was the ti to propose.
“We’ll catch the Boss and open the entrance. Instead, I want you to give rmaid tears at regular intervals.”
And the rmaids’ reaction to this was.
“Yes.”
