"Little tapir, there are two more over there!"

"Poof!"

There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness and control ability of the Dream Eater Tapir.

In addition, it has absorbed the terror of leeches, and there is also a loyal group of Ainu gossip believers on the other side of the root land.

Even if it is placed in the Aragami of the same rating, the strength is not bad.

Don't be too easy dealing with a bunch of rampaging D-class monsters.

The vague red light that represented the dream trailed back and forth, emitting a soft and faint glow, sometimes blurred, sometimes clear, dreamlike, shimmering on the scarlet shoreline.

The gorgeous and peculiar arcs danced erratically, sweeping back and forth like ghosts, and any mad Rock Maiden or Rock Fish Owner who was hit by the red light of the tapir would fall asleep immediately.

Kamiyagawa barely made any moves during the whole process, and the only thing he did was to use his ghost hands to pick up the merfolk who had fallen into the dream and throw them to the safety of the jungle on the shore.

In about ten minutes, the battlefield was completed.

Kamiya didn't kill these merfolk directly, he always felt that the merfolk side also had some unobtained information and secrets, so it was better to control it first.

However, as the warrior crab just said, if they lose their sanity in such a red tide, even if the red tide recedes and these merfolk come to their senses, it is still unknown how many will survive.

"It can only be seen by their creation. But it's a bit of a pity that she didn't catch the mermaid's side of the 'Isohime', and it seems that she really didn't come to Otsushima. ”

Kamiyagawa returned to shore and handed over the unconscious merfolk to the samurai crabs.

These crabs somewhat knew that the gods from Takamagahara's strength were strong, but they had never had a clear understanding of how strong the Kamiyagawa was.

All they knew was that the adult could effortlessly separate the crab and Isohime who were fighting.

It can be seen that after seeing the "extremely easy" battle just now, the warrior crabs finally have a deeper understanding and understanding-

The two helpers that this adult just summoned carried no less terrifying aura than the crab owner, no, they were even stronger than the crab owner!

Is this the strength of Takamagahara?

After these days of getting along, the crab clan has always been very respectful to Kamiya, an alien god-sama, coupled with the strength that the god-sama has just seen to show lightly, they are naturally obedient to Kamiyagawa's arrangement to temporarily control the mermaid, and they dare not have any objections.

After dealing with the mermaids, Kamiya summoned Pranya and the tapir, and stood on the edge of the jungle with a knife that the red tide could not invade.

Once again, he felt the island moving beneath his feet.

You can't go wrong with this feeling.

Like a giant warship, Xiedao stands tall and soars into the clouds, breaking through the turbulent red tide and breaking the waves in the turbulent sea.

On the ocean where the red tide is flooding, the waves are rough and the waves are splashing.

Crab Island faces huge waves, swaying with the waves undulating and swaying, but always moving forward steadily.

The bright red waves soared into the sky, but when they approached the area around Crab Island, they were blocked by the invisible barrier power and the brilliant brilliance of the aurora, and the momentum was reduced.

"Aba, Aba, woo......"

The body of the little old man surrounds his master's feet, telling the information he has just heard in the cave of the crab shopkeeper.

"The original Okutsu Island has been destroyed, and the body of the crab owner is part of the current crab island? No wonder the island moves. ”

Kamiyagawa thought to himself.

He instructed the warrior crabs who came with him to control all the captured merfolk, but he did not rush back to the tribe in the center of the island, but stood at the edge of the jungle and observed the situation in the ocean.

Kamiya could almost guess where Crab Island was going when it was so vigorously active-

Munakata Taisha Shrine.

The shrine of the three goddesses of the sect is about to emerge from the sea tonight, and now the red tide has not destroyed the crab island, and the last attack of the mermaid is like a chicken and a dog.

Neither crisis seems to have had much of an impact.

Although Isohime on the mermaid side is still missing, with Kamiya, a "witness to injustice", it is estimated that it will not affect the overall situation.

Tonight, it should be a sure thing to support the little crab girl to become the lord of the sea country.

……

I don't know how long it was, but the sky began to glow with cyan light.

The first rays of morning light fell through the clouds on the surface of the sea, and the whole ocean seemed to be lit up.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, the color gradually changes from dark blue to soft pink and golden yellow, and the originally angry sea is also a little calmer. The dense black clouds in the sky turned white, and the large clouds were soft and thick, floating like cotton wool.

"Red Tide, this is over? It doesn't seem to be too harmful...... It could also be that I stayed in the safe zone all the time, so I didn't feel it very deeply. ”

Immediately, Kamiyagawa saw the calm sea in the distance, showing a hint of crimson.

It's not the blood-like red of the red tide.

This red color is more solemn and more sacred.

It was a huge torii gate.

"Is that the Soka Taisha?"

Isolated on the ocean is a huge shrine surrounded by vast waters.

The shrine is made of tall stones and wood. The glazed tiles of the roof shine with gold and turquoise, and the whole building seems to be a magnificent temple that is integrated with the sea.

Even from this distance, you may feel the sacred and distant atmosphere coming from there.

And on the side of Crab Island, the breath that acts as a barrier and belongs to the owner of the crab shop is so weak that it is almost impossible to feel it.

The whole island seems to be in jeopardy.

"We're at the shrine, my lord."

Kamiya heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

When I turned my head, I saw Crab Ji standing not far away.

It's still a red crab shell, and it looks like a small can.

But only one night has passed, and this little crab girl's attitude towards Kamiya seems to have become a lot more respectful, and in the previous relationship, she was rarely heard to use honorifics.

"yes."

Kamiyagawa knows the reason for this change.

He'd already heard it from the little old man—

The crab people have a demand for themselves.

Although it was a bit of a request before, it was not as direct as it is now.

Kamiyagawa paused for a moment and asked, "How is the crab owner, and Crab Island, can the crab owner's strength still support Crab Island to maintain the status quo?" ”

"You seem to know everything." Crab Ji said sullenly.

"Last night, the barrier that guarded Crab Island and the movement of the island...... It's hard for me not to know, right? ”

"Grandpa Crab is not in good shape." Crab Ji hung her hands, unconsciously fiddling with her fingers, and replied truthfully, "Although Grandpa once again guarded the clansmen, the scale of the red tide last night was too large, and the situation was worse than expected. ”

Is it big?

It doesn't feel real.

Maybe that's what it feels like for someone to carry a heavy load.

Staying on the island, or staying on the crab owner, you can't really feel how terrifying the red tide was last night.

"Kamiya...... My lord. The little crab lady spoke a little rustily, her attitude became respectful again, and her voice was almost pleading, "Can I ask you for something?" ”

"You say."

"If the red tide can't be solved, if the future of Crab Island doesn't exist. Can you please leave the Sea Country with the people of the Crab Clan? I know you promised to do your best to deal with the crisis of the Red Tide, and I'm not questioning your abilities, but ...... Crab Island is really about to run out. ”

"What did you say about this, Bishop of Crab Fang?"

"Hmm...... Well. The little crab lady hesitated for a while, but nodded solemnly.

"You're still as lively as before, it's cute." Kamiya shook his head with a wry smile, "I promise you, if things really come to that point of no return, I will take the crab clan out." But what about you, Crab Hime, if that time really comes, will you leave here? ”

"I ...... I will accompany Xiedao until the last moment. But if Crab Island is destroyed, I will also leave, I promised my grandfather that even if I go outside, I will protect my clansmen. ”

The important content of the conversation between the crab girl and the crab owner last night was basically relayed to the Kamiya River.

The little crab girl didn't stubbornly want to live and die with Crab Island.

As a leader, she also shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading her clan.

"Good. So now, what are we going to do? Ascend to the Soka Taisha Shrine? ”

"Well, become the lord of the country and get the Seagod Scepter. Then use the tears of the ocean to stimulate the power of the 'sect image' in me, and I will become the wind on Crab Island, the waves on Crab Island, and the light on Crab Island. Guarding this place for a long time in place of Grandpa, until the Red Tide is resolved, or...... Crab Island was destroyed. ”

The performance of the "power of the sect" on the crab hime, Kamiyagawa had already seen it last night.

Those auroras.

Should I say it or not, that kind of power really has a bit of what a godborn should be.

As for what the little crab lady said, she will become the wind, waves and light on the island, what exactly she means, Kamiya is already clear.

After all, the little old man listened to the conversation in the crab owner's cave last night from beginning to end-

Generally speaking, consuming the power contained in the Tears of the Sea can greatly enhance the ability of the Crab Hime's sect image, and she will turn into the invisible guardian power of the Crab Island, repair the island, and coexist with the island.

It's a bit similar to the current situation of crab owners.

However, in that case, the crab her, who is the lord of the country, is freer than the crab owner, as long as she wants to, she can get rid of the state of guardianship at any time and get out of the crab island.

The little crab girl intends to maintain that state until the red tide is completely resolved, or the day when the crab island cannot resist the erosion of the red tide in the future and is completely destroyed.

"Obviously he is the lord of the country, but he is still so pessimistic about guarding an island, and the gods of the sea country are really a bit miserable."

Kamiyagawa thought to himself.

In fact, from his personal point of view, he still doesn't want Crab Island to be destroyed.

After all, if you want to control the Sea Country, you have to leave a base here.

So after that, you still have to go through the problem of dealing with the red tide and liberate the crab queen.

At present, I already have some clues about how to deal with the red tide, at least I know that this crisis seems to be related to Huangquan.

And when a red tide ends, the sea calms down, and the danger of going into the sea to explore is reduced.

Now the ending, Kamiya feels that it is barely acceptable.

The crab people are miserable, but they still retain hope and a way out.

Crab Ji has plans to sacrifice her life for her people, but the price is to lose her freedom for a period of time in the future, at least she won't put her life into it.

"Crab Island seems to have stopped moving, shall we go to the shrine?"

"Hmm."

……

Kamiyagawa and Crab Hime pass through the giant's gate-like torii gate and ascend to the Sonataka Taisha Shrine.

When he stepped into the precincts of the shrine, he suddenly felt a strange atmosphere that was failing.

It's a feeling that some weird story is dying here.

Kamiya narrowed his eyes and searched around, and finally found a humanoid corpse that was slowly turning to ashes not far in front of the majestic Sect Statue Taisha.

"This breath is Isohime from the mermaid's side."

Isohime didn't appear on Crab Island last night, probably because she wanted to get on the Soka Taisha Shrine at any cost.

However, she failed.

In the previous battle, the wounds caused by Crab Hime's hammer were too severe, plus the erosion of the subsequent red tide.

A seriously injured C-class monster is estimated to not be able to survive in such a harsh environment.

"On the mermaid's side, is there a reason why you have to be the lord of the country?"

Kamiya stopped in front of the somewhat hideous, half-dissipated corpse.

It seems that the warriors of the mermaid clan captured last night did not survive much in the end.

Compared to the hope of Crab Island, the mermaid side is almost completely wiped out.

An abrupt thought appeared in Kamiya's mind for no reason-

If he chose to help Isohime in the face of the battle between the crab clan and the mermaid on the day he first arrived in the sea country, what would the situation be like now?

"The merfolk seem to be more closely connected to the Red Tide, right?"

Crab Hime also stopped next to Isohime's corpse and waited for the other party's complete dissipation to ashes.

The breath of those strange talks, rising against the rising sun, until it can no longer be felt.

The expression of the little crab lady can't be said to be sad, but her face is calm.

She had always disliked merfolk, they resembled fallen krakens and were ferocious.

But are the crabs and merfolk immortal?

I can't say anything about this.

However, the mermaids are very despicable, and in order to be the lord of the country, they will only play small tricks.

After the attack on Crab Island launched by the mermaid half a month ago, the relationship between the two sides should be irreparable, right?

……

Kamiyagawa watched the crab enter the grand main hall of the Soka Taisha Shrine.

He didn't follow up.

According to the process of becoming the head of the sea country, the crab queen will next perform a ritual in the shrine.

To put it bluntly, it is a bath.

Kamiyagawa hasn't developed a habit of peeking at the little girl taking a bath, so he stays outside.

I waited for about half an hour.

From the solemn and sacred Shrine of the Sect, a strong monster aura swelled out.

It's similar to the previous crab her, but it's not exactly the same.

The little crab girl slowly walked out of the shrine.

Her appearance was different from before, the crab shell heavy armor on her body had been removed, but the white Haori was still wearing, and her waist was still adorned with cute beads and a handsome knife for decoration.

Because he took off his armor, he no longer looked like a small can, and finally showed his slender shoulders and waist.

The leg guards on the lower body are also removed, and the bare legs are looming under the cover of the haori, and the skin color is as delicate as the best crab leg meat cooked.

It's hard to imagine that such a thin and immature body can be worn in heavy armor and wield a giant weapon.

The color of Crab Hime's hair has changed significantly, from yellow to a blue color similar to normal seawater. Her long hair flowed down her head, supple and lazy, swaying slowly behind her like waves of the sea.

In her hand was no longer the giant conch hammer, but an ornate scepter.

The main body of the scepter is an intricately carved gold handle, covered with intricate ornamentation and relief patterns. At the top is a huge teardrop-shaped sapphire in which exuberant ocean power swells.

The morning light shines through the solemn Jongkata Taisha Shrine, turning the lines of her body into pink and golden yellow.

The current crab queen really feels like a little queen of the ocean.

Buzzing.

The phone vibrates –

[Strange Tale Name: Sea Strange Light]

[Classification: B]

"The crab girl who became the lord of the sea country is Aragami. And also...... Hai Yiguang, is this even a change in race? ”

Miko Miko, a kind of sea monster in Japanese legends.

When this kind of monster appears, it is always accompanied by a strange brilliance, hence the name.

Legend has it that the light of the sea can bless a good harvest and can also ward off the plague, and if the disease spreads, as long as the portrait of the sea light is shown to the sick, their illness will be cured.

It's said to be a monster, but it's actually more like an existence like a beast on the ocean.

As for why even the race has changed after Crab Ji became the lord of the sea country, Kamiya estimates that she may have the blood of the sea light in her body, and maybe this bloodline comes from the sea goddess Tian Xinji.

With this kind of bloodline, the credibility of saying that it is the heir of the gods is suddenly high.

And Crab Ji was able to summon the aurora before.

"Congratulations, Crab Hime."

Kamiya congratulated with a relaxed expression.

And the transformed little crab girl stared at him fixedly for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Thank you." ”

She waved the scepter in her hand.

A powerful force of the sea flowed like a tide from the tears of the ocean at the top of the staff.

Boom.

The bottom of the scepter touches the ground.

Kamiya saw last night's aurora again, and this time it was even more gorgeous and spectacular.

First, a faint glow of vague light gently swirled into the sky like a faint green or purple veil. Over time, these faint rays of light intensify, diffuse, and burst into a dazzling glow.

They are like a curtain of brilliant colors, dazzling more dazzling than the morning sun, changing shapes and colors.

Jumping, dancing.

It is a gradient, a flowing soft curve, and a sharp and sharp straight line or arc.

The figure of the crab hime, the golden scepter, and the tears of the sea that had faded in color slowly dissipated in this brilliance, merging with the light and slowly flowing towards Crab Island, which was not far from the Munaka Shrine.

Kamiya heard the soft murmur of the early morning wind:

"I'll wait for you. Wait for you to save us, or take us away. ”

……

Kamiyagawa returned to Crab Island.

He climbed the cliff where the Kirizuki station was placed, and watched the changes in the sea from afar.

The sun rises and the shrine sets.

For the time being, the sea surface becomes normal and calm, sparkling.

"So, it's over here. The ending of the crab clan can only be said to be acceptable. She wants to protect Crab Island, and I can't stop her. When I do get rid of the red tide, she'll probably come back again. ”

It's up to you next.

But then again, it is really difficult for people to adapt to the fact that Crab Ji has become a sea light and has become the lord of the sea country.

"What a lively and lovely kid he was."

Probably the burden on her shoulders was too heavy.

The warm breeze blowing from the cliff is fresh and pleasant.

Crab Hime was right before, when the ocean is not red, it is indeed beautiful here.

Just thinking like this, the wind around him was a little noisy, and the waves in the distance surged, and the strange brilliance entrenched in the air also fell a few points, and it landed beside Kamiya.

He turned his head to see the light dissipate.

On the grass, there were a few beautiful conch shells and a handful of shiny pebbles.

There are also two fresh, normal-looking marine fish.

“……”

"Why don't I give you the conch I collected?"

"There are also some beautiful little stones, which I used to pick up one by one at the beach."

"Let me tell you, the fish I grill is super delicious, and I used to secretly go to the beach to catch fish."

“……”

Kamiyagawa looked at the things on the ground and was slightly stunned.

The heart said that the little can is really as cute as before.

"Anyway, the regional mission is complete."

Kamiya took out his phone and clicked on "Strange Tales of Things".

[Regional Mission: Support the new lord who has been recognized by the land of the sea.] ]

Strangely, this task, which is obviously considered a completed task, still shows as "uncompleted".

"Huh?"

Just in the middle of Kamiya's doubts, a strange feeling struck-

It's like a heavy breath, like a sigh.

The first is soothing, like the rhythmic sound of the tide lapping on the beach, like the lullaby of a loving mother stroking her baby to sleep.

Then the gentle sound became stronger for no apparent reason, and it seemed to see the dark red water, and the huge waves as high as the city wall were rushing in, and the formation was like a thousand galloping war horses charging into battle, clamoring, shouting, and rushing desperately onto the beach.

The mad wave is full of chilling horror and unfathomable mystery.

I don't know where it comes from, the feeling of the ebb and flow of the tide.

When Kamiyagawa came back to his senses, he found that he was no longer on the cliff of the crab tribe's gathering place, but standing on the edge of the beach, and he could see the small shrine of the gods and Shikigami beside him.

The waves of the ocean in front of him were muddy and changed color, not a blue that had temporarily returned to normal, but a thick dark red.

This is the color before the red tide comes.

He looked up in disbelief.

The sun that had just risen in the sky was gone, and in its place was a full moon hanging in the dark sky.

Like a jade plate.

The sea light of the easter egg chapter is the image after the sprout, according to the description of the corresponding story, in fact, the sea light looks like the head on the hand sanitizer in the picture. Legend has it that this monster has the ability to ward off epidemics, so it was sought after in Japan during the epidemic. If you apply the setting of this book, it may be regarded as a large-scale spread of faith in a special context.
