Ocean Festival.

Filled with raucous crowds and huge hot dog-shaped balloons flying through the air, the Port of Grace hosts an annual Ocean Festival, but this one is the largest and most crowded festival ever.

Aquaman Arthur and Mela walked through the crowd, both dressed in civilian clothes.

Behind them were Tula, the regent of Atlantis, and Mook, the commander.

Aquaman Arthur wears a black outfit and even a hood. Unlike Superman, who has a biological stance to protect his true identity, or Batman, who always wears a mask, both he and Mela belong to the Internet under their real names...... Phew, the type of superhero with real name.

Maybe in an inland city, they don't have to worry about being recognized, but in a one-acre and three-point plot of land like Port Ci'en, it's better to be a little more low-key.

"Lala-la-da~"

After 5 minutes.

"It's the best I've ever tasted." Commander Mook said. Standing beside him was the stall owner, frightened by his blind eye.

"Hmm." Mook snorted, noncommittal.

Then he stabbed the other man with his elbow, "Wonder Woman is still waiting for you over there."

"Do you think what we're missing is really mutual understanding?" Mela asked.

"If this test was a trident with a hoop, I would be pretty good at it." Mook said.

"It's the singing relay! The red-haired lady just sang a lighthouse tune!"

"Alright, let me see...... Where are Batman and Wonder Woman?"

"Face it, like wearing this kind of clothes?"

"You see, if you throw a hoop around the tip of the trident, you'll get a prize."

"That's what's interesting, sometimes you have to look at the people who show you to the land, you understand what they imagine of you, show them that you can accept that."

Mela heard Batman down there, too. In terms of excellent hearing, she was about the same as Arthur.

"Woohoo!"

The host at the bonfire party in the distance shouted loudly as he threw out a red circle, as if he had missed a hand, and the circle flew through the crowd in an offset trajectory towards Chen Tao's head.

「…… You didn't say you wanted to wear your regular clothes." Chen Tao was dressed in civilian clothes, and Diana followed behind him.

Atlantis.

Countless civilians of Atlantis wailed under the slaughter of high-tech weapons, and they swam desperately in the water with their bodies on fire, like fish burned to death in gasoline.

Both of them wore glasses...... Although there is no biological stance, the glasses are not face-blind like Clark, but they try to pretend that they have such an effect.

"It's a shame." Mela said.

"Very good, thank you." This is Wonder Woman's answer, which sounds relatively normal.

"Hahaha, Batman is actually a mermaid and Wonder Woman is Popeye?"

"Oh my God, how did you do that?" He turned his head to see Mook's only eye, not blind, wide, holding a model of a pirate ship in a bottle.

"In order to be able to have a relationship with the owner and wife of this shop?"

"Okay, let's start with that." Aquaman Arthur said.

"I'm willing to bet Batman not only knows the names of the owner and lady of this restaurant, but even the customers who have been to this restaurant for the past few days."

「…… No, it's a ragdoll, or some saltwater toffee."

Arthur turned his head and saw Tula knocking on his shoulder:

"Yes, yes." The Regent Tula nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then she quickly pulled away from the topic and stared at a stall not far away, "What is a marshmallow?"

"Hurry up, I can't see it!"

They sat in a small restaurant next to the Ocean Festival venue and watched the crowd fill the place.

Aquaman Arthur slapped himself on the head, and then he saw Batman and Wonder Woman wearing full costumes, and Wonder Woman even wore her mantra lasso.

It's getting late.

Not far away, people sing and dance, huge fires light up the black beaches, and the bonfires of the Ocean Festival continue until the early hours of the morning.

His extraordinary hearing caused Arthur to hear the proprietress of the restaurant not far in front of him say to Batman and Wonder Woman:

Mela took the picture, "Oh hell, I look exactly what they thought I was."

"These clothes are stupid to die for." Tula, the regent next to him, said.

"Batman is quite sweet."

"Oh my God, Wonder Woman and Batman are sitting right there, in our little restaurant!"

"You're singing that song again." Arthur said.

The player inserts their head into a pre-set hole so that their face blends perfectly with the rest of the cartoon head, making it look like the player has been transformed into a funny cartoon character from the front.

"You're proving my point, Atlantis is land. He only sank into the water occasionally, and I think that's probably the role I can play. I was born between land and sea, and I was the first person in Atlantis to have a chance to bridge the gap after the silence."

"Arthur!! I'd like to go on a banana boat ride and give me some coins!!

"Ugh...... Why?" "Last time I went to the Justice League to find Batman to save you, he was quite responsible and gave us Zatana's contact number," Meela said.

Chen Tao exhaled deeply, he still wanted to speak, to ask Arthur about Lord Orm, but he was interrupted by Arthur again.

A bad feeling rose in Arthur's heart.

"Everyone! Everyone!"

"Arthur, now that we have the chance, why don't we talk about the things we mentioned earlier...... That backwater you arrested earlier......

The amusement facility where they are now is a frame structure designed as a model with the head of a cartoon character.

Arthur muttered, "They should have arrived a long time ago, but haven't contacted us yet."

「…… You know that." "The only thing I wish I could hear from you today is that you had a great time," he said.

"The land-dwellers are dressed, Mela," Arthur said, "so that we may interact in their way."

"Can I get some more land coins?" Tula came running up and down, his ponytail jumping behind him.

"You always mistakenly think you are one of them, my king." Mook said, "But you belong to Atlantis."

"No, it's funny." Arthur said.

Mela: ......?

She tilted her head.

"Okay...... "Mela" Mira turned her attention back to her conversation with Arthur, "you want Atlantis to be a part of the world again?"

Arthur laughed, "I admit it at this point."

When the mysterious fleet departed, Lord Orm and his men were all they saw was a scorched earth.

He shrugged his shoulders and slick his way over, "All in all, it's a great learning opportunity, let's hang out. They know us, and we know them, right?"

Mela: ......?

She tilted her head again.

Not far away, Tula and Muk are playing a game:

"How do you know my name?" The proprietress of the restaurant asked. She was an elderly woman, and she was a little flattered to hear Batman say her name.

"I can't believe it, do you believe it?"

Rumble!!!

"No, no, no, help! Help me! Don't kill me!"

"Part of the edge."

Arthur waved his hand, "Don't talk about those work things now."

"Me too." Commander Mook, who had been silent and followed behind a few people, made the sound of urns.

"No, I'm half sea and half land, and I don't belong to any side." Arthur said, "And to be correct, I'm not the king of Atlantis yet, so it's best not to call me 'my king.'"

……

"Oh my God, he's Batman, Mary!" Behind the hostess, her husband, the owner of the restaurant, was a little nervous and said, "He knows everyone's names!"

And Chen Tao is here...... They were standing in front of a sign with Arthur.

"He's afraid that the owner and his wife of this shop will poison him......" Arthur patted his head, "Okay, I'll have to call them and tell them to stop wearing this to show off." Who would wear a superhero uniform in their casual time?"

He said, "I've done a lot of preparation for today's event. If Batman releases my pigeon, I swear I'll hit him on the head with a crowbar."

He subconsciously tried to dodge, but Arthur caught the red circle as soon as he reached out and put it around his neck:

"Come on, come on! Don't be shy!"

"Ah~ah~ah~"

Then they both heard a commotion in front of them.

And a slender girl lifting a strong man up and putting it elsewhere may be a feat that will attract onlookers, but it is nothing in front of Batman and Wonder Woman.

"Go and ask them what they think of my pancakes!"

"Yes, we show them that Atlanteans are human beings, too. They, like everyone else, can make a little joke—"

「…… It's just a metaphor."

"Divine ideal, I guess you're unique in that regard." Mela said, and then she cried out:

"That's why I was able to transfigurate my fish head into a normal person, I know, but it's two different things."

"If you think that's amazing, my friends still have a lot of cities in bottles."

After 10 minutes.

"But it loves my marshmallows so much!"

"Everyone, get ready to take pictures."

At this time, Arthur and the two of them are playing with this cartoon image of Popeye holding a mermaid, Arthur acting as Popeye, and Mela's head sticking out of the hole in the mermaid's face.

"Not really, but it's the same, Mook, listen. There was some unpleasant estrangement between Atlantis and the land, but they didn't understand us. We don't understand them either, so we're afraid of each other."

Aquaman Arthur, Mela, Wonder Woman Diana and Chen Tao walked on the beach together.

Rumble!!!

The submarine's violent missiles burned in the land of Atlantis, and even the water was scorching.

"Fame or honor? Reputation? Or a medal?"

Arthur had Mela lift himself above his head - Mela, who was a mage but also a transhuman from Atlantis, was not difficult to do.

"I want him to be part of the international community, I want to take Atlantis out of the sea and put it into the world."

"Tula!! Don't feed your dog marshmallows you've eaten and stuff them in your mouth!!

……

When this sentence came out, Tula felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and she shrank in fear. Even if she is named Regent, the future watermaiden is still a maiden.

……

"Batman. You have to rest. You're always like that, and one day the strings will break. It's like the backwater......" Arthur patted the other man on the shoulder, "I can handle Aum's business, don't worry."

Then she looked up and saw a somewhat reluctant look on Arthur's face.

"I didn't." Mela vetoed her boyfriend and immediately diverted from the conversation

Question: "I've always felt uncomfortable with these clothes."

"That's right, Arthur gives the kids a sweet tooth shock." Watching Mook and Tula walk away, Mela said.

"The Atlanteans are considered outliers because Atlantis has long been a mystery, but it is still part of the world, part of human civilization."

Arthur said, "Do you know why Batman is looking into this?"

"Well, excuse me, kids, are you satisfied?"

"The landers have a proverb." Arthur said, "In Rome you will ......."

"Of course." Arthur said.

He was the commander of the Atlantean fleet, a strong, bald middle-aged man half a head taller than Arthur, and he was blind in one eye, only the whites of his eyes, which added to his fierce appearance: "I think my pants seem to be worn backwards."

Wait a minute.

Mary?

Arthur almost laughed, and then was stared at by Batman, and he couldn't help but shiver with fear.

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you, Mary." That's Batman's answer.

"This is not Rome."

Arthur gives him the money and then turns his head to see Batman and Wonder Woman also playing that cartoon photoshoot.

"So, I

What about the proposal?"

"Now the next person to come up and sing is caught in the red trap—"

"Oh, of course I do!"

Arthur said, "Let me see, it looks ......."

"It's just a metaphor, and I think it's time for Atlantis to explore the land and deepen its understanding in order to understand how Atlantis can achieve a win-win situation with the world."

"Yours. It was a great shot."

"It's not in the clothes, Mook." Mela said. She spoke before her boyfriend could speak.

"It's an attack, guys." Lord Aum said.

"And Atlantis must take revenge and react to it." He suppressed his anger, "Someone has to pay for it, guys."
