The sky outside the ship was bright, and both Reina and Renee in the room were asleep. Only Fisher was still scribbling on the paper with a quill pen, integrating the information he got from Reina, and drawing along the way.
I took a look at the full body of a scaled-down crab race, and also studied the strange clothes she was wearing.
According to Reina, the clothes she wore were made by a kind of demi-human called jellyfish. Those jellyfish live on the top of the vortex of the sea. Their whole bodies are transparent, and the clothes they make are both beautiful and durable.
There are many demihumans below, but the information I can get from Rena is only this much for the time being, and I can't get more.
Fisher rubbed his eyebrows, but did not feel very tired, because according to the ecology of undersea sub-human species described by Rena, there are no sub-human species with strong offensive capabilities. The only one that is special is what she said.
Royal family, so is it possible that [Son of the Sea] is one of the royal families under the sea?
What still makes Fisher curious now may be the existence named [Lamastia] that the marine demi-race believes in. What kind of creature can be called a god by this group of creatures? Could it be?
Some kind of very high-level life?
For some reason, Fisher thought again of the huge eyes he met in the Southern Continent. That existence was closely related to the soul of life.
But now that he had no more thoughts, Fisher fell on the seat behind him, and happened to see Renee walking out of the room.
"Good morning. Have you been up all night again?"
Yesterday, Reina felt sleepy while talking about it. Fisher originally wanted to ask some questions, but she fell into Renee's arms and fell asleep without any precautions, looking like a child.
"Um...
Renee walked to Fisher's side and did not tease him again this time. She just stretched out her soft hands and gently massaged Fisher's temples.
"As expected of you, you never get tired of the things you want to explore. I just admire this about you. Rather, I admire everything about you~"
Unable to tell whether she was teasing or telling the truth, Fisher closed his eyes quite comfortably and enjoyed Renee's massage. The fragrance on her body was soft and charming, which made Fisher, who was obviously not tired, suddenly feel very...
I wanted to rest for a while and just stay in her arms.
"What are you going to do with that kid?"
"Let her go in a while. I'll give her the pearls I promised. Anyway, they were given by the female captain."
"How heartless, people give you gifts with good intentions."
"You are actually very happy that I gave that pearl to Reina, right?"
Renee didn't like the gift that the captain gave Fisher from the beginning. Even if she didn't reveal it, Fisher noticed it. After all, they spent a lot of time together and at least had a certain understanding of Renee.
But facing Fisher's straightforward words, Renee smiled evilly and tapped her lips with her finger without answering.
"Am I happy after all?"
"...
Another quiet time passed, and Fisher guessed that she must be quite happy, because she kept massaging herself and never stopped.
In this time that seemed to have stopped, a small figure quietly walked out of Renee's room. Carrying a small leather bag, she sneaked along the wall and leaned toward the door, watching the person warily.
Fisher by the window, just when he was about to touch the door handle, Fisher's calm voice came,
"Where are you going?"
"Ugh! I...
Seeing that her escape was discovered, the crab race named Reina shook her pliers in a panic, with a very innocent look that made Renee find it very funny.
"...
Fisher stood up from Renee's tenderness. If he stayed in Renee's arms for a long time, he might be charmed by this witch and would not be willing to let her leave him. He stood up and went outside.
I asked the waiter to bring some breakfast and prepared to ask Reina to finish her breakfast before leaving.
Linnai thought of the delicious food she ate last night again, her throat surged unconsciously a few times, but she still pretended not to care and put her hands on her hips.
"Okay then, I'll reluctantly stay and have something to eat."
As expected, he was an idiot. He just left some food at will, which was too unprincipled.
At the dinner table, Renee drank some milk casually, then held her cheek and looked at Reina who was eating so much, as kindly as a mother watching her child grow, which made Fisher suspicious.
Is it true what she said last night that she wanted a child?
"This is for you, take it."
Fisher handed yesterday's pearl to Reina as a reward for yesterday's exchange of information. Reina seemed not to have expected that this human being would actually give her the pearl. She took it and was stunned for a long time before taking it.
Put it in your pocket.
It seems that humans are generally good people.
But Fisher seemed to see through her thoughts, picked up the newspaper next to him, and said without looking up,
"But as a warning, I advise you not to come to the sea. If you are caught by other humans, you will not be treated as well as I am here. Locking you up for the rest of your life is the best outcome. The greater possibility is to remove all the things on you
Remove all the parts and study them carefully. If you can't find anything out, put the cut parts in the seafood market and sell them."
These extremely terrifying words made Reina's face turn pale. Renee next to her also smiled and nodded, touching her white head,
"By the way, why did Reina run so far to the sea? Did she just want to see what was on the sea?"
"actually, I...
"merchant?"
Renee and Fisher both looked at the petite crab in front of them, causing her to raise the bag in her hand sheepishly.
"I plan to collect many, many things that cannot be seen in the sea and sell them to others, such as grass or Bailu, so that I can make a lot of money to buy delicious food."
Hecao and Bailu were probably friends she knew, and they were both demi-humans from the sea.
The child in front of her unexpectedly has a business acumen. If she were not a demi-human, maybe Saint Nali would be the best place for her. After all, Nali now smells of money.
"The source of your goods should not be stolen. If you are caught stealing, you will be spanked."
"This...isn't there no capital...
Reina said embarrassedly, but seemed to have listened to Fisher's advice, "I know, I won't steal other people's things again..."
Fisher nodded. Seeing that she had almost eaten, he turned to look out at the ocean. How to send her out was still a problem. It seemed that he could only trouble Renee and let her stay hidden so as not to be caught by other humans.
Found.
"Xiao Linnai, how are you going back? Are you going to swim back?"
"I called my friend to pick me up, and I guess I'm almost there...
"friend?"
Fisher turned his head and looked at the sea next to the cruise ship. At some point, a huge blue crab appeared there, floating on the sea, with only the crab's huge shell exposed. He looked at Fisher's room above.
“What a big crab, it must taste great!”
"Haru is not allowed to be eaten. It is a friend of our family. If it is eaten, my father will definitely beat me to death, so that no one will pick him up when he goes to work!"
It turns out that this kind of thing can also be used as a means of transportation!
Fisher has gained some knowledge. It seems that there are many things about the demi-human settlement at the bottom of the sea that Reina has not told him. However, with the intelligence of an eight-year-old child, she has said enough last night and cannot ask for too much. Shengna
Those eight-year-old children in Li still lie on the side of the road playing marbles every day.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, go ahead. Remember to have less contact with humans. This is for your own good."
"Um...
"...
"My name is Renee."
Renee touched her head, making her squint her eyes comfortably.
"Hmph, Fisher and Renee, nice to meet you. Ocean Emperor Reina is going back! Goodbye!"
After she said goodbye to Fisher and Renee for the last time, Renee took her to the sea. She saw her petite body carrying a huge leather bag jumping up to the huge floating boat on the sea.
On the crab, he tied a strap on the crab's back to his body and fixed it, and then waved towards Fisher's room. The crab hung upside down, quickly fell from the sea, and disappeared.
into Fisher's sight.
Fisher took a sip of coffee, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a necklace made of blue crystal placed on the table. Judging from this exquisite craftsmanship, it seemed to be a human creation...
Wait, isn't this something she stole from Alagina? She thought she and Alagina were in the same group, and then in order to repay the delicious food she ate yesterday, she gave the stolen necklace back to herself
?
Fisher's eyes were on the necklace. He hesitated for a moment and put the necklace in his arms before Renee came back, lest she ask questions again and repeat the story of when she was given pearls.
Just to be on the safe side.
The cruise ship continued to move forward. In the remaining ten days, in addition to the ocean, other cargo ships and warships could often be seen in the scenery outside. However, it was no longer as peaceful as before, because they were about to arrive at Saint-Neali, the pearl of human civilization.
