The octopus, which swam ahead of us, gradually slowed down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this distance, the island in front of you has become clear.

There are many ...... on the mountain-like island. Hole?

Some are very large, like underwater caverns, which can be seen from a long distance, while many more are similar to the sewers of human cities.

Of course, this sewer refers to the kind of underground network built by Europeans that resembles an ancient labyrinth.

If you change to Kirishima in the West Sea, it becomes an underwater network, and presumably it is the road.

Just as Ellie and I were still amazed at the clear waters, an ominous sensation came from behind us.

The octopus looked back and motioned for us to stop.

So I restrained the magic that flowed to the barrier, and the sphere that wrapped around us slowed down in the resistance of the water.

He spun around with the levitation spell and turned to look behind him.

Very high very high ...... No, there is a group of krakens approaching near the surface of the ocean.

Unlike the bazas, they have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, and they are swinging their waists neatly, and they are much faster in the water than the octopus.

There are more than a dozen of them, lined up in a triangular formation, neatly shuttling through the water.

Because the water is weightless, the sense of space is similar to that of the sky, and from my position, the Kraken looks like a formation of fighter jets soaring through the air.

Uniform, majestic and grand.

The leading kraken shook his body sharply, made a 90-degree turn, and rushed straight down towards us.

His sudden downward movement is as agile and fierce as a bird of prey flying in the air seeing game on the ground.

A whole group of Krakens pressed down one after another following the movements of the leader fish, maintaining a loose formation, like a dive bomber aiming at the target.

Whoosh - whoosh -

I swept past me like torpedoes, and I didn't expect them to be so fast, and I could even hear the cooing of their bodies rubbing against the scales as they parted from the sea.

The krakens shuffled their formations, one after the other, circling around us, wandering, some near, some far, as if wolves had surrounded their prey.

Goo――

A kraken swooped up from below, startling me.

They must have long been accustomed to this technique of shuttling up and down, left and right in all directions.

For those of us who live on land, it's hard to catch their movements.

And unexpectedly, his body came to a sudden stop in front of us, as if he had lost all kinetic energy in an instant.

It can't be explained by physics, and you don't have to think about it to know that there must be some kind of magic that helped him fix his position.

You could see the water rushing up after him, still washing him up, stirring up circles of whirlpools around him.

"Isn't this Her Royal Highness Princess Elice Heranna of the Dawn Mountains?"

This fish-man, who doesn't look much different from Bazas, actually knows Ellie?

I looked back at the little one I was sitting on my shoulder, and the princess tilted her head, as puzzled as I was.

"You know me?"

'Haha, Ellie, you're really a celebrity, I didn't expect you to have your best friend among the fish'

'Go, go, go while cooling'

In her heart, the princess was indeed satisfied with her fame, but she did not like the appearance of this kraken.

I don't know why, but the little guy's stomach churned in the inside, and even I felt a little uncomfortable.

'Listen up, don't cook fish when you go home'

Woo nightmare...... The disgust that came from Ellie's side also affected me deeply.

It seems that there will be no animals with fish scales on my dining table for a long, long time.

"You're a regular visitor to Seganger, I once saw you there"

Oh...... It's about Seganger, the city of free trade, where Elle, the unjust boss, doesn't know how much money she was cheated of.

However, the little guy has no impression of these krakens at all, and there are indeed many water-filled caves in Seganger, but the krakens never show their bodies and hide under the water.

Seeing that the princess couldn't think of anything, the kraken didn't plan to continue to close, and began to speak in an official tone.

"Although I would love to invite Her Royal Highness Princess Ellie Heranna as a guest, you also know that we Krakens do not welcome elves."

As he spoke, the big fish-man turned his head to look at the octopus, as if he was very disdainful of him.

"It seems that the reason why you broke in is entirely the fault of Bazas, and we will hold him accountable"

"Ahem"

Bazas cleared his throat and raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to show a little bit of a drag in front of the big fishman.

"Indeed, I brought them here to meet Lord Sassari Lennuland, the King of the Sirens"

"Huh?"

The big fishman scoffed, and then didn't put on a good face, and changed to a tone like a reprimand.

"See the King of the Sirens, Bazath, you probably messed up Sluka's mission and wanted to use this to save your life, right?"

Surprise!

Sluka's mission.

I really didn't understand the hissing sound of the Siren as he spoke, but that's how the translation mantra blessed in my head translated.

This fish actually knew that Bazas had come to assassinate me on the orders of Sruka.

So are all Krakens complicit in dragons?

Did this octopus, called Bazas, lead us into the enemy's encirclement?

My heart suddenly cooled.

After hearing these words, Elle also lowered her face and looked at the group of fishmen with displeasure.

The little one didn't care about being in the middle of an enemy position, she was so confident in her magic that even if it wasn't as powerful as Skyfire, it was enough to turn the entire island upside down.

"Now I'd like to meet your Siren King even more."

Ellie's mouth was full of displeasure.

The big fishman stared at Ellie with his brown eyes for a few seconds, then blinked.

"Okay, you can, that's it"

Huh?

Is that okay?

He seemed to see through the little one's temperament, and knew that he must not go against the princess's wishes until Ellie's displeasure turned into anger.

The big fishman waved his hand and motioned for us to follow, and then he swam away with a wave of his tail.

And that makes me feel very bad.

Such enemies who do not resist at all often have indiscernible conspiracies.

If you keep up, you will be caught in the net.

"Little ghost, don't be stunned, follow up"

"Ellie!"

'It's not like you can't hear what I'm thinking'

"So what's the matter, it's all here, can't you go back?"

The little one is desperate to see the city of the Kraken and the king of the Kraken.

If these fish-men fulfill her, it would be better, in case it doesn't work out, the little one has already planned what kind of spell to vent his frustration.

"Okay......"

Bite the bullet, don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger.

If we survive this adventure, we will definitely get a lot of information, very valuable information, I'm sure.

Reactivate the magic, and the circular enchantment that wraps around us follows the fish people as they swim at the bottom of the sea.

The fish people formed a formation and swam to the left and right, up and down, and in front and back of us, completely surrounded.

However, when it is said to be a siege, it actually looks more like an escort, like a military honor guard convoy escorting a foreign ambassador.

Gradually, more Krakens came into our field of vision.

On the outskirts of the city, the Krakens are just like ordinary humans, transporting packages large and small, or talking in groups of three or five.

There are also krakens returning from the direction of the open sea, carrying tools like fishing baskets and fishing nets.

There were also krakens swimming back from behind us, carrying bags made of seaweed.

Some of the Krakens that notice us will look at us from a distance, while others will pass by us and look back at us.

From Ellie's memory, I can tell that the West Sea Kirishima has always been closed, and almost no other race can visit here.

After all, the sea alone is an insurmountable obstacle, not to mention that the West Coast is still the territory of cavemen.

But these fish people don't care too much about us, and there is only a little accident, and they are wary of outsiders.

It can't compare to the curiosity of the elves of the Dawn Mountains.

Like air, we swim silently into a huge underwater cavern in the midst of a busy group of krakens.

The entrance to the cave is so large that even a cruise ship can easily enter it.

Saying......

As soon as you enter the cave, the scenery is suddenly different, and colorful colors come from all directions, like the neon lights of the streets in the human world.

Some of these different colors of light come from huge pearls, and some from sparkling mussel shells.

There are also colorful coral reefs, and schools and schools of small fish of different colors.

Even underneath the cave, I saw a pile of gold and silver mixed treasures.

There are some relatively small openings in the walls of the caves, and occasionally you can see the Kraken swimming in or out of these openings.

That seems to be their abode.

Some fish-men can be seen exchanging some shiny little shells for something at the mouth of a cave, and that's probably their shop.

But there are no signboards, and it seems that the business of this place is not too developed.

Unexpectedly, the sound of the strings came through the water in front of him, and not far away, high up in the cave wall, there was a kraken playing the harp, and there were many krakens in front of him imitating his movements, which seemed to be a music classroom.

In addition to not being able to see their gender accident, the biggest impression is that they don't seem to like to be indoors.

A lot of their activities are done in these huge caves.

The further you go into the depths of the cavern, the more Krakens are engaged in 'civilization and culture' activities, and this is probably their aristocratic settlement.

Ooh!

I didn't pay attention, and I was stabbed in the eye by the light emanating from the front.

This is......

I thought I had passed through the island and saw the light of the sun, but in front of me was the end of this sea cave, an incomparably large circular cavern.

The brilliant light emanating from the cave made my eyes unable to adjust.

"Ahead is the palace of the Siren King, we will wait here, and when you come out, we will escort you out"

The fish-man nodded politely, looking like a royal envoy.

"Well, thank you for the escort"

Elle resisted her excitement and returned the fish-man next to her with a polite princess-like smile.

Finally, it's time to meet the King of the Sirens.
