On the blue sea, Atreus is being carried by the Little Mermaid towards the distant island.
He didn't have time to observe when he just emerged from the water. When he looked again after a little more time, Atreus discovered that this place was indeed different from the ordinary sea. First and most importantly, the normal sea was not like a fish tank.
It is spherical, and the "outer wall" does not have a "protective film" that shines with golden light.
Secondly, the huge island they are about to go to can be clearly seen through the sea water that it has no "roots" and is "floating" on the sea like floating ice. There seem to be numerous buildings and a large number of people on the island.
There were vegetation and people moving around during the period, but it was too far away to see clearly.
Finally, what illuminates the sea and islands is not a star like the sun, but a giant golden tree suspended on the top of the sky. It looks somewhat similar to the World Tree in Asgard.
If this screen shot were taken and spread throughout Asgard, I am afraid more than half of the people would believe that this is the "Tenth Kingdom".
——[Hold your hands and feel your tenderness]——
"So, Lily," he finally chose a relatively friendly nickname to call the blue-tailed mermaid who was supporting him forward: "What should I do after 'falling' here? Do I need to register somewhere?"
"[You don't have to do that, this is the 'Kingdom of God',"" Lily freed up an arm to draw an arc, not knowing what she wanted to express: "[When you appeared here, Lord Shirahoshi already knew and
Arrangements are made.】"
So he must have been put into solitary confinement. The vice-principal lady is really strict. Of course, it may also be because she knows that "deducting normal points" is of no use to him, a student who also serves as the dean.
"So, you were arranged to pick me up?" Atreus asked.
"[No, I was looking at the stars at the bottom of the sea before, and a school of fish told me that a 'black old bat' fell from the sky, so I swam over to take a look," Lily blinked at Atreus: "[Ah,
The description just now was made by Yushun, not me.】"
"It's okay." Atreus knew the shape of the avatar he pinched. Rather, it was strange that he could be treated kindly with that dignity. Moreover, even if he was dissatisfied with that title, seeing those green eyes
Finally, I couldn't get angry at all.
"You said..." He paused and asked about the other content of Lily's words: "You were looking at the stars at the bottom of the sea?"
As for the mermaid talking to the fish? Isn’t that normal?
"[Well, there is no night on Mermaid Island, so you can't see the stars. If you want to see the starry sky outside the 'bubble', you only have to dive into the seabed," Lily replied: "[But don't worry, choose
After finding a place to live, the owner can adjust the land area and shared area to 'night mode', but the starry sky created in this way will be fake, will not move, and will not look good.]"
"So," Atreus seemed to notice something unusual: "Do you want to leave here? Maybe I can go together -"
Creak——
Lily's arms suddenly tightened, causing the incarnation of Atreus to make a sound of steel twisting, and the ten bubbles in front of him that clearly only appeared underwater also appeared, and five of them disappeared.
——[Really a little breathless]——
"[Ah, sorry, I was a little scared.]" Lily reacted and immediately let go. As a result, Atreus sank like a weight again, and she had to dive into the water again to bring him back to the surface.
"...No, it's okay." Atreus looked at his "health" that had dropped by half, and then looked at the apologetic green eyes of the little mermaid who was close by Chi Chi, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I want to
Is leaving a strictly forbidden thought?"
"[No, no, Lord Shirahoshi has not restricted our travel. Even if we regret coming to the Kingdom of God and want to return to the world, there is no problem, but... the nature of 'inviting others to leave' is different]" Lily shook her head
He adjusted his posture with his tail: "[I just thought about it, you probably didn't know it when you first arrived.]"
"So, does that have any special meaning?" Atreus tried hard to find relevant content in the information he already knew, but failed. Could it be poaching?
"[That's... it's... um...]" Lily, who had always been lively after the meeting, rarely hesitated for a while, and then said in an almost inaudible voice: "[It's a 'proposal'."
"..." Atreus was greatly shocked.
"[Didn't I say it before? Only those who 'wholeheartedly' believe in Shirahoshi-sama and are willing to 'give up everything' to follow her will come here. Home, country, relatives, and friends are all those who want to 'completely let go'.
]" After expanding the topic, Lily's speaking speed and swimming speed became very fast: "[But things like 'love' will appear suddenly. If both parties love each other, Shirahoshi-sama will be put in second place.
Naturally, they lose the qualification to stay here, and the 'Earth's Inner Sea' will send them back to the home world of one of them according to the wishes of both parties.】"
Atreus thought back to his two sets of parents, Odin and Frigga, and Kratos and Laufey, and found that they may not have acted too radically, but they did put their significant other as the "most important"
Once I got the position, I felt that this rule actually made sense.
"But we have just met. Even if I accidentally said something like a proposal, you wouldn't be able to agree, right?" Atreus finally said.
Putting aside other factors, this avatar's appearance does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics, and it is not his turn to fall in love at first sight.
"[Indeed,]" Lily's eyes flashed: "[I am a mermaid, and you are just a human. You may not be a fraction of my age, so it's not appropriate or appropriate, huh.]"
Who are you looking down on? As a hybrid of the immortal God of War and the near-immortal Frost Giant, lifespan is the least of his worries.
However, after this game is over, the two sides should have no contact with each other anymore. It is impossible to believe in the Ocean Demon God wholeheartedly, huh.
"[Ah, here we are.]" During the conversation, the two of them had arrived at the edge of the island. Lily sent Atreus to the beach, while she stayed in the deep water and hesitated: "[You have just arrived in the Kingdom of God...you need a guide. ?】"
What a joke, I can run and play with the nine major kingdoms.
"In order to avoid making a joke, I think it is necessary." Atreus replied.
"[Um... then wait a minute,]" Lily jumped onto the shoal with her fish tail, took out a bottle of suspicious-looking potion from the small coral bag hanging on her waist, and drank it after a brief hesitation.
Then, a light blue light and shadow like a small whirlwind appeared out of thin air, covering her entire figure.
Atreus clearly saw Lily floating on the spot, and the blue fish tail split from it, turning into slender legs wearing blue jeans, and the clothes on her upper body that were originally made of shells and coral also followed. It turned into a loose pure white T-shirt, and there was even a beautiful straw hat on the head.
——[In my mind, your figure cannot be dissipated]——
The light and shadow dissipated, and Lily landed again. After looking down at herself, she seemed quite satisfied. She raised her hand to create a water curtain out of thin air and showed it to Atreus:
[I am not yet old enough to separate my tail. If I drink the medicine of the treacherous merchant sea witch and forcibly transform, I will be unable to speak. 】
[You wouldn’t dislike a tour guide who can’t speak, right? QAQ]
