Zaratopu’s Circumstances
* * *
As Zaratopu declared that while wriggling its body, water spheres about the size of my head popped out one after another from the sea surface around Zaratopu.
Those water spheres float in the air and circle around Zaratopu.
But that’s not all.
“Pyururururuuuu!!”
When Zaratopu let out a shout, those water spheres, surprisingly, transford into various shapes of fish!
Of course, they are not colored, just seawater in the sa shape, but each 【Water Fish】 swimming in the air is ticulously crafted with attention to detail, from its form and fin shape to even the whiskers and scaly bumps depending on the type, which I think is quite amazing.
“Ooh……”
Clap, clap, clap.
I express my appreciation to Zaratopu through applause.
It’s also a very high evaluation from Extra-sama.
Zaratopu is also in a good mood, letting out a high-pitched “Pyururu” cry.
“Your body is…… small……?”
How huge are Great Sea Serpents……
I gaze at the 【Water Fish】 swimming in the air, dyed red by the setting sun, and while munching on a mouthful of at, I ponder the ecology of Great Sea Serpents and how to kill them if they beco hostile.
Now, yes, it’s evening.
I’m still at the cape.
What have I been doing, you ask? For so reason, I’ve been chatting with this Great Sea Serpent Zaratopu who has beco attached to .
As you can tell from its earlier statent, this Zaratopu was indeed bullied within its group of Great Sea Serpents.
Unable to endure the painful life in the group, it ran away and ca to this nearby sea about 100 years ago.
Since then, it seems to have been living leisurely in the offshore area near here.
In other words, Zaratopu and I have been talking about each other’s life stories for a long ti.
Oh, what I’m eating right now is Zaratopu’s tail that was offered to earlier.
It’s seriously delicious.
What should I do, I’m starting to see Zaratopu as nothing more than at……
Even I’m not that heartless, Extra-sama……
But when I look at Zaratopu, I sohow get hungry……
I think for the sake of protecting both our minds and bodies, even though it has beco attached to , we should part ways soon.
“Hey, Zaratopu.”
So, here’s the thing.
“You, go back to the offshore area imdiately.”
I decided to bring up parting ways.
Zaratopu opens its big mouth, widens its eyes, and shakes its head, refusing.
But you see……
“I told you earlier, right? The nearby villagers are terrified of you. It’s inconvenient for you to be in such shallow waters too. You originally lived offshore? Then you should return there.”
Other than the option of eating Zaratopu, I think this is the best answer.
That way, both the villagers of Panemo Village and the Great Sea Serpent Zaratopu can return to their original lives.
Endure not having dried fish.
However, Zaratopu seems to dislike returning offshore after all.
It’s mumbling sothing while fidgeting and wriggling.
Getting impatient as the conversation doesn’t progress, I lightly release 【Intimidation】.
“Pyuru!?”
“Stop fidgeting. Go back.”
“Pyuru……”
I say it decisively.
Then Zaratopu…… shrank its huge body and completely drooped.
…………
The cape suddenly becos quiet.
Only the sound of the gradually calming and shrinking waves and the sound of the wind can be heard quietly.
……Ah, geez.
“Hey, Zaratopu, you still have sothing you haven’t told , right?”
“Pyuru……”
“There’s a reason you can’t go back offshore, right? Tell .”
“Pyururu……”
As a result of shrinking its body, Zaratopu, who had lowered its face to below the cliff, stared at with upturned eyes.
It began telling about its troubles.
