"I ......"

"Refuse!"

Very disgusting thing, which made Alice deliberately break the sentence to express her protest. However, this rebuke, which was not shouted out in order to take care of Irina's rest, does not seem to have reached the ears of the painter. Still holding a sketchpad and a pen, she followed Alice as if she had met her master's puppy.

【Rustle】

The tip of the pen is wandering, and the pen that has been given to Alice to paint abstract artworks is being used by the "owner" she recognizes, creating works that must belong to the category of "perfection". The painter, who could not speak, trotted to Alice's side, and even in order to keep up with Alice's overly fast pace, the painter kept moving, but it was as if this series of movements did not affect her painting at all.

Was that joy or excitement? It was as if even the tip of the pen was beating more violently with her mood.

Ahh

On the carpet of roses, the beautiful and delicate princess is lying quietly in the prince's arms, and the "quiet" painting is so "quiet" that people don't even want to reach out and "disturb" it, if it is really used for the business of the aristocracy, you don't have to think that it will be bought for a lot of money and framed in a delicate and gorgeous frame for people to admire. It's just that......

Why do you have to suffer an inexplicable sense of shame to watch the painter complete her image little by little? Irina must have been disgusted with the painter for this reason.

...... Wait, your own image?

"Hey, what are you painting!" Alice, who suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly reached out to snatch the transformation from the painter's hand, but turned around and dodged it. Irina in her arms squirmed because of the tilt of her body, and Alice, who was frightened, hurriedly retracted her hand.

If it's realistic, it's okay, but how many third-rate novels written by bards did the painter read before he could imagine such a realistic scene as a scene that only exists in fantasy, such as "the prince hugging the princess"!

“......”

Ahh......h No, I'm afraid she had already made up the picture in her convulsive head when she saw herself pick up Irina.

Unreasonable, no wonder Irina hates her.

"Farewell, don't keep up!"

Growling at the smiling painter again, Alice almost trotted back towards the entrance with Irina in her arms. The scene that had been captured by the painter seemed to have satisfied her a lot, and after a second reprimand, she finally did not follow without consent. Are you going to go back to her cottage and finish the painting quietly? Obviously a knight guarding this place, but she has a strange hobby.

Now that Irina is safe and sound, it is better to get out of this bad place quickly. Moreover, it seems that the duo at the entrance has also ended, and the noise of ping-pong has long since disappeared.

As Alice thought, when she returned to the entrance with Irina in her arms, Xia Di and Sister Yu, who were still fighting in full swing before, had long since lost the strength to continue the "fierce collision", and Xia Ti, who had consumed too much physical strength in the "Crazy Tea Party", was lying on the ground gasping for breath at the moment, but the magic sword was still tightly held in her hand, as if ready to meet the next round of impact of the mermaid.

However, this is obviously a superfluous consideration, because Sister Yu now seems to have no ability to "do a big job" anymore. Originally, she didn't seem to be able to fully adapt to the land without water, unable to move freely, not to mention, now she seemed to be a little short of breath, her tail and fins kept beating the ground, but it was useless, after all, it was mud and not seawater.

These two guys...... It's too much.

“...... Did you come out?" Charty, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Alice, because she had no strength, she had to symbolically wave her hand, "Take her away, the Sanctuary is not allowed to outsiders to enter at will, now can you understand?"

Ah, that's right. Although it was only a short stay, it was true that it had already sensed a little bit of the nobility of the "Holy Domain" in Charty's mouth, and ordinary people really shouldn't walk around there at will, but compared to such an unreasonable blockade, why didn't the knights tell the merfolk the reason as it was?

"I ...... I have a question. ”

Yes, a question that would like to know anyway. And most of the time there is another reason, because this is a sacred area that hides some huge secret, so it is necessary to know the reason.

"In the sanctuary of which you are talking about...... Is there anyone else?"

The solemn, noble, and beautiful "Sanctuary" does not have that sense of empty death, and even the flowers and plants that cannot be easily touched are not blooming for their own sake. Everything in the sanctuary is so clean and tidy, most of them are cleaned regularly by the knights. So......

Obviously, someone lives in it, otherwise the little mermaid wouldn't have told her longing, and Sister Yu wouldn't have desperately wanted to break in.

So...... This most likely figure, is it ......

"It's the prince, the only prince of Majette, Experi. ”

Sister Yu, who was leaning against the tree, gasped, interrupting to explain Alice's doubts. Her eyes were fixed on the Sanctuary behind the thorns, even if she didn't have the ability to break into it now.

"The two watchdogs are guarding the prince, absolutely. ”

"There is no prince!" said Charty, who was lying on the ground, but the tone of her voice sounded more like a disguise.

"Here...... There is no ......"

"Then what are you doing here, or let me in and have a look?" Sister Yu grabbed the harpoon and propped her body up, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, as a knight, can you really lie casually? Don't think that a countryman like me doesn't understand the rules of your country,"

“......”

"You tin can only happily cut the fishman in half every night, do you know how much my little sister wants to see the prince. During the day, she watched on the beach, expecting to catch a glimpse of the 'prince', and at night she sat on the reef and sang, and no one could stop her. ”

Longing, ah yes, the little mermaid's singing in the evening can indeed make everyone feel her sad but expectant longing. She expressed her longing for the prince at that time......

Because the little mermaid is ......

"Why doesn't she deserve to see the person she likes? Is it because of the tail on our lower body? If that bullshit prince really doesn't want to see the 'monster', let him blindfold and tell my sister in person!"

Sister Yu raised the harpoon, what kind of indescribable feelings made her mobilize the little strength she had left?

"Otherwise...... When our grandmother compromises, all of our people will come up at any cost. Then...... But it's not up to your prince to say it, even if he is tied up, he must be tied back. ”

“......”

Sister Yu responded to Charty's silence for a long time, and her grip on the double-edged sword was released, but she clenched it again as if she remembered something. Then......

"Then, let the horses come, bet on my meaning as a 'soldier', and get rid of you all. ”

Xia Di leaned on the sword and slowly stood up, unlike the angry Jade Sister, there was no confusion in her eyes. Although it was an emotion that only she knew, I am afraid that it was enough to be comparable to the will of "faith".

"This is the 'Sanctuary'"

She still repeated the ruthless words she was used to. Like the 'soldiers' who guard the 'king' and move forward fearlessly, no amount of pain or suffering will stop them.

"The king's tranquility is not to be disturbed, mermaid...... Return to your depths!"
