Kamiyagawa: "What exactly is the red tide of the ocean?" Okay, I know you don't know why, but can the rest of the parts be specific? ”

Crab Hime: "I want to think about how to tell you......"

Ever since I opened the map of [Tides: Sea Country], Kamiyagawa has been running here whenever there is something to do.

The samurai crabs on Okutsu Island are already accustomed to the presence of this foreign god.

Now he's patrolling around the perimeter of the island with Crab Hime, checking on the oceans and chatting about the Red Tide.

"Actually, what you see now, the turbid waters, the dark red waves, are not real red tides. At the very least, although the current sea water looks abnormal, it is not obviously harmful, and the real red tide is far more terrifying than this. ”

Crab Ji squatted down on the edge of the beach, picked up a handful of seawater with her white little hands, and then spread her fingers so that the water flowed down her fingers.

"Well, go on." Kamiyagawa motioned for the little crab girl to continue.

"When the red tide really arrived, it was accompanied by strong winds and tsunamis. The water is bright red and dangerous, and the waves are stacked high like ...... Well, the giant Kraken is dancing its teeth and claws. When that time comes, those horrible, corrosive waves will rush all over Okuzu Island, and people who are too old or too young can easily lose their lives in that kind of disaster. ”

"So how often do red tides happen?"

"It's hard to say, there's no exact set time. It may not happen for several years, or it may happen twice a year. However, it is probably observable, and we crab people have some experience with this. As it is now, the water has turned a deep dark red...... This means that the red tide may be coming. ”

"Soon?"

"It could be tomorrow, it could be months away, but it's coming." Crab Hime's voice was a little lower, worried.

"Is there a way to fend off the red tide?"

"Barely there." Crab Ji nodded, but immediately shook her head again, "Maybe I really become the lord of the sea kingdom, and if I get the scepter of the sea god, I can protect everyone in the clan." ”

"Poseidon Scepter?"

As his relationship with Crab Ji improves, Kamiya can hear more and more useful information from this little can.

"Well, it's a very powerful thing. There is a gem on it, which the people of the clan call the tears of the sea, and there is an unimaginable energy in it. The scepter is the possession of the previous lords, and the people of the clan say that although the queen of the previous mermaid disappeared mysteriously, the scepter she held at that time seems to have been sent back to the Sonataka Taisha shrine by the power of the sea——"

"I don't know the specifics, more than 200 years ago, I wasn't even a little crab, anyway, that's what the crab owner's grandfather said. Then, because of the protection of the great gods of the sect, the Soka Taisha will only appear when the lord succeeds to the throne, so only then can you get the scepter. ”

After hearing this, Kamiyagawa said comfortingly: "In this case, I will help you get the scepter." ”

"Thank you. When I become the lord of Shanghai, I will, I will ...... Well, please eat grilled fish! Let me tell you, after the red tide recedes, there may still be some surviving small fish in the sea. Actually, there are now, and I know that they are hiding under Crab Island, which is the only safe place in the Sea Country. ”

Seeing the innocent appearance of the little crab girl, Kamiya laughed: "The only way you thank you is to invite me to eat grilled fish?" You said the same thing when I said I would take you out to play. ”

"Well, I can't get anything else...... Or I'll send you the conch I collected? It's going to shine at night, it's beautiful. Or, or there's another one that I can hear in my ear, and I often sleep with that one in my arms, and although I like it very much, I can give it to you if you want it. There are also some beautiful little stones, which I used to pick up one by one at the beach. Anyway, as long as I have it, as long as you want it, I can give it to you. ”

The little crab girl added in a slight hurry, and then snapped her fingers, counting the treasures in her collection, as if she was really about to give them away, and her expression was faintly painful.

In a sense, she was really generous to Kamiya's new friend, after all, she only had those things.

……

Otsushima is unexpectedly calm these days.

Kamiyagawa originally thought that the mermaids would attack the crab clan, but in fact they didn't.

If you think about it carefully, it may be because the "munaka" on the mermaid's side, that is, the C-level Isohime, was injured.

In the previous battle, the little crab girl's hammer smashed without sparing any hands.

However, considering that the succession ceremony of the lord of the Sea Country is coming soon, and the Zongxiang Taisha is about to be born, Kamiya thinks that the mermaid side should not give up, perhaps secretly accumulating strength and preparing to make a big wave.

If they also have the ambition to become the lord of the sea country, it may be that on the day of the moon disappearing, or the day before, the merfolk will launch a huge decisive battle against Okutsushima.

"Actually, if possible, I'd like to go to the mermaid's side. I don't know if there is any additional information about the Red Tide disaster in Haiguo. ”

"However, it is also possible to play in person in a decisive battle that may occur later. When the time comes, release the little tapir and capture all the mermaids, and maybe you can ask something if you catch them, and if you know this, you won't let those mermaids leave last time. ”

Kamiyagawa has his own considerations.

And then there's the red tide.

I was going to solve this matter after Crab Ji became the lord of the Sea Country, but nothing major happened these days, and the focus of Kamiya's research in the Sea Country was also on this.

The information that should be asked from the samurai crab is basically asked.,It's not much different from what the crab told him last time.,It's just that some details are a little more specific.。

In addition, Kamiya has also tried to go to the sea for field trips.

However, he did not go too far from Otsushima.

Basically, it's to wrap up the [Drowning Girl's Top Heart Hair] to explore the waters around the island.

As Kanhime said, Okuzu Island is probably the only safe zone in the land of the sea.

From here, when you go to the sea, you can see a few normal marine fish hiding in the reef.

Why are there normal-looking fish in the world?

Kamiya didn't think much about this either.

In his previous cognition, in the world places like Flower Bell Trick School and Inu Ming Pass, there are only strange survivals, there are no normal animals, and there are plants, but it is not easy to say that those plants are abnormal.

Possible......

The land of the sea is considered the kingdom of God, so it is different from other regions of the world?

Considering the strange talk of life here, they are basically god-descended monsters that can reproduce naturally, maybe the environment of the entire map is really different from other regions?

If you dive too deep or swim too far from Okutsujima, the ocean becomes desolate.

The farther away from the islands, the water is also more turbid and dark red.

The ruined reef is scattered on the bottom of the sea, like ruins forgotten by time, and there is no life around, only silence and loneliness.

The sand waves flowed, covering the bottom of the sea, covering a large area in thin and soft form.

However, in this sandwave, there are no forms of creatures that attract attention. No fish, no corals, no colorful marine life.

The light also gradually dimmed in the dead sea, and only a faint light fell through the water. The faint and vague light barely revealed some vague outlines, and a few erratic aquatic plants and algae floated in the dead silence.

Deeper in the ocean, there seemed to be a faint sound of currents.

That's all you can see away from Otsushima.

As for why Kamiyagawa didn't simply use his subordinate gods and monsters to explore farther and deeper places.

For example, the Mikami brothers, who have just recently acquired the ghost ship, will definitely be able to easily go further with the help of their unreasonably fast ghost speedboat.

There is also the transformation of whales, which can be done by letting the skeleton whale wrap its belly with bubbles and then take people into the deep sea realm.

Instead of doing so, Kamiya also had some considerations of his own.

Mainly because according to the crab family, the next red tide is coming soon, and it is ready to go.

No one can say exactly when the red tide will come.

It could be a few months from now, it could be tomorrow, or it could be the next second.

Kamiyagawa was worried that when he was exploring deeper and farther places, the red tide suddenly came and he was caught off guard.

He had not experienced the so-called Red Tide, and his knowledge of this disaster was limited to descriptions of the Crab Clan.

How damaging are red tides?

According to the current rough estimate, it is estimated that the level of the Mikami brothers will not be able to withstand the invasion of this kind of disaster, so Kamiya does not want to bring them in for the time being.

As for whether the C-level upstream level of the whale can resist, it is not yet known.

Anyway, the saying of the C-level crab is that she will not be willing to face the red tide and enter it.

In the inner world, Kamiya has always regarded the life of the strange Takami as much more important than his own immortal.

They can die and come back to life, but they can't.

So it's better to be careful.

It's better to wait for this wave of red tide to pass, the ocean calms down a little, and Kamiya fully understands the situation of the red tide before making some big moves, which is safer.

In the case that risks can be avoided as much as possible, you must not let your cronies take unnecessary risks.

This is not what a good leader should do.

……

Time flies.

Fifteen days have passed since the map of the land of the sea was opened.

Kamiyagawa has observed the moon of the sea country.

The phases of the moon are similar to those in the real world.

Fifteen days ago was the full moon, but tonight the moon is not visible, it is the time when the moon is hidden, and it is also the day when the Zoxiang Taisha Shrine appears from the sea every 300 years.

And since a few days ago, Kamiya has basically stayed in the land of the sea.

Because he claimed to be practicing, he didn't bother him with any trivial matters in the countermeasures room.

Some other daily tasks to be done in the real world, which the demon concubine can handle, or the apprentice can do for them, are all left to them to do.

Something like the studio is about to be founded.

There is also the collection of angry cores, and this little apprentice has been doing it temporarily for the past two days.

Because the eight-foot girl has recovered, she is currently being taken to the Aragami eight-foot girl by the fawn who is studying hard according to her head and practicing the skill of killing spirits, and she follows the little old man's clone to move around in Tokyo to collect information, and nothing can go wrong.

When encountering a soul exterminator, Xiaolu can come forward to report the name of the master, or call Onizuka and Kanazawa directly.

The face of the ghosts and gods, the Juqiong Shrine, and the Honganji Temple will be given by the spirit removers.

When it comes to strange talks, the eight-foot woman can easily settle down.

Of course, these are all bad situations in the illusion, in fact, Xiaolu has followed the little old man's body to collect intelligence cores in the past two days, and has not encountered any accidents.

The little apprentice took on the master's work very well.

With their help, Kamiya has returned to reality from the inner world these days, basically only doing basic things like eating and sleeping.

When he is not on Crab Island, he will also leave a little old man to watch, and if the situation is not right, he will be there immediately.

That same evening.

Kamiyagawa, who had a good rest during the day, stayed on Okuzu Island all the time.

Tonight, the atmosphere in the territory of the crab clan is also completely different from usual, very serious and dignified, and the warrior crabs are all waiting for it.

Kamiya and Crab Ji stood under the stone statue of Tian Xinji in the center of the tribe, looked at the little crab girl seriously, and saluted the idol very respectfully, and finally asked, "Do you feel the location of the Zongxiang Taisha Shrine?" ”

"Not yet, maybe we have to wait." Crab Ji shook her head.

According to the crab clan, there is no fixed place where the Taisha rises from the sea country, but when the shrine is raised, the crab hime as a "sect statue" can clearly feel it.

Although he was very curious and wanted to witness the birth of the Lord of the Sea Country with his own eyes, Kamiya still waited patiently.

The little crab girl next to her just closed her eyes again and prayed sincerely to the idol of Tian Xinji.

As the protagonist of tonight, she looks far more nervous than Kamiyagawa, an outsider.

However, tonight's waiting, the first thing to wait for is not the appearance of the Zongxiang Taisha-

It was about four hours before the sun went down in Haiguo.

Kamiyagawa, who stayed in the territory of the Otsushima crab clan, clearly felt abnormal.

The vastness of the sea, which had been relatively calm, was shattered by the weather change without warning.

Dark clouds, thunder and lightning, howling winds stirring the sea, waves surging high, like giant beasts.

This change happened almost instantaneously, without the slightest transition.

The huge, bright red tsunami seemed to appear out of thin air, rolling in from afar, like a hideous blood-colored giant standing above the surface of the sea, advancing ferociously. The vast wall of water expanded with the arrival of the tsunami, forming a tall, terrifying wall of water that covered the entire skyline.

The ocean is restless.

Even if you don't stay at the beach, you don't stand on top of a cliff and you can't see the specific situation of the sea, Kamiyagawa can clearly feel this.

The warrior crabs in the territory were visibly restless.

"It doesn't seem right, is this the atmosphere that the Sonataka Taisha should have before it rises? Or something else......"

Kamiya looked around and subconsciously pulled out a word.

Crab Hime, who had been praying quietly, opened her eyes suddenly, her bright eyes trembling, and her face was full of fear: "No, it's not. It's a red tide...... The red tide is coming. ”
