Chapter 68
Receptionist Year Two – Sea Country Edition 8
To be clear, I don’t like or dislike fish. Originally Dolan is a sealess country, so it doesn’t mean that fish are caught abundantly.
Fish were often seen in rivers flowing all over town, though, and purchased fish were also sold on the market. I’ve cooked from hand to hand to try to fish when I’m not in the mood for meat. I’ll eat if I have one, and I won’t eat if I don’t. Neither acceptable nor impossible.
But from today on you won’t be able to eat fish dishes, rubbing your rounded stomach. As much as that, I am in the situation.
Speaking of which, I hadn’t eaten anything yet because I was too busy looking at the ocean. The bug that lives in my belly rang thin, small and discreet, making me realize I’m still hungry.
Actually, this is something I’ve noticed lately, but I seem to have a lot of appetite. Nike also told me that I started eating well after I started working.
The reason is because it started to move a lot, and people around me say, “No, honestly, I think it’s because I strangle my purse too much and eat too little food.”
It had a slightly bitter physique for maidens, which, on the contrary, would be hairy if it were a snack, but rather, on the contrary, would have the madness of eating more while they were hungry. I’ve never been told I’m fat, but my body’s working out well, and if I’m moving, I’ll be fine.
“My son, the one who won’t punish me.”
I pull my neck back and look up in a low voice that echoes in my stomach.
sinister, dark eyebrows, mustaches growing all the way around the waist, human-faced fish humans.
No, that’s already clean, now I guess it’s the one you can call a “mermaid”. Similar to what was depicted in the picture books and in the materials about the sea.
The guy? The mermaid? was sitting back on something like a throne, looking down at me from there. The mermaid is three times bigger than me.
Even though it’s big, why from such a high place?
You can’t compare me to a fishmonger who brought me to a place like this castle.
I mean, it’s totally different though I could have taken him away, so could you get me out of this water as soon as possible, either by the sea or anywhere? and stare at the big mermaid up there in prayer.
If you can’t use magic, your options are pretty narrowed down because there’s no other way to rely on these mermaids who can use magic in this ocean. I don’t want to rely on it, but I was there.
“Mitya, you haven’t given up yet”
“I didn’t say a word about that.”
Mitya seems to be the name of the fishmonger who has taken me.
Hear information that won’t even save you.
If you say so, me in front of the throne in the castle. An atmosphere that would also not be tolerated to differ in this strange situation was piercing his hives and skin.
Beautiful women mermaids with wet, glossy blue or scarlet hair, the first I’ve seen since I came here. A mermaid mixed there with a man, and a mermaid with the same appearance as a fishmonger, lined with slack around the throne. Then he was stretching out his spine and closing his eyes of all the upright things, and only fishmongers, me and king-like people were opening their eyes in this place right now.
And now, though, I just stroke my chest down a little bit saying I’m glad it wasn’t my usual clothes. Unless it was a two-stranded underwear, the cloth was floating and the underwear was in full view. It is not so much trouble to be seen, but it is better to not be seen if possible.
Though, given the exposure of these mermaids, I wonder what such a disgrace is to the grain of sand.
“Whatever Nefertia does, she will never come back here again. It’s the same thing when you bring someone who looks like you.”
If I were you, I’d walk around curiously wondering what that was, but I couldn’t do such an asshole in this situation to a boulder.
He’ll be worried about Nike and Benjamin and the others, and he’ll just let me go home, poking at me with his awakened gaze at a fishmonger trying to affirm that he’s desperate on the side to bring me here.
“But Father! Nanyok brought her here, which means she’s close to her sister.”
“Stop it, it’s ugly. That’s why you’ll always be a juvenile.”
A juvenile fish?
Was this man a juvenile fish?
According to historical facts, mermaid men find their turn and grow up for the first time.
But the state of juveniles was not detailed, so I don’t know what to call juveniles with. As far as I can tell, there’s a fish man with a fish surface, a mermaid with a beautiful appearance, so I’d expect a mermaid with a closer appearance to a human to be an adult man.
“A human daughter. Do you have any idea where we are?
“Oh, what? Wow, wow. Me?
My body floats when I’m suddenly told the story.
Even if you ask me if I know where this place is, I can only imagine the first time I got out of Dolan.
From now on, yeah, probably over there, there’s a lot of mermaid-like people out there. I’m thinking about that, but when they ask me that, the thought goes around about where I really am.
“Of the sea, is it a kingdom?
“It’s rightly the kingdom of the deep sea.”
Isn’t it the same?
I swallowed the words that went out and looked at this big mermaid.
“I am Celestial, the king of the sea that dominates this world”
The big mermaid – the king of the sea says so, comes down from the throne to where I and the fishmonger are. Once again, I was pushed back by a stream of water, but before that, the Sea King himself turned his arm around my back, so I never got flown.
Anyway, this guy is big. The size of my hand is enough to cover my back.
I inadvertently wondered if this man was any more than a king of the sea, and I thanked King Celestial for naming me so clearly now, with a friendly grin very similar to my neighbor’s uncle and just saying “good”.
“It is easy to return to land, but we must avoid travelling to and from the territorial waters as much as possible. I hope you stay meaningful until your people pick you up.”
“Friends?”
Are you talking about Nike or Benjamin with your people? I was afraid that my people would come and pick me up, and I was told that I knew everything that could happen in this ocean, from the past to the future. Though there are numerous rumors about the Sea King, I didn’t think I could do that kind of artistry. Superman. Even Rockman nods his neck that he would be no match for a boulder like this.
But my sexuality won’t allow you to pick me up.
I want to get out of here myself if I can. I don’t want to bother you. However, there are some parts of me that think that this idea can be annoying. but I’m not sure (though it’s like a prophecy) if they’re really coming to pick me up.
“Wait.”
“I’ll definitely go”
Say that.
Do you honestly think I’m going to ask?
At a time when I’m thinking about not moving poorly, it’s the same as asking, but I don’t know about that. I’m not honestly listening to him, I just believe in the words of the Sea King.
So blame me, blame me. That’s not true.
Even this ring is a mystery as to what you gave it to me for.
Even if it is removed from the pharmacopoeia and attached to the pinky finger, it does not fit into the middle finger, index finger, or thumb.
I end up putting it back on my pharmacopoeia.
“That’s Dorseim’s wisdom.”
“Is this it?
The king of the sea holds up my hand and looks at it.
I was eagled by a big hand. What if it breaks?
The wisdom of Dorseim is the strange ring that is passed down to the countries of the West. That ring can be used hundreds of ways depending on how the owner uses it, and at one point there are lots of uses, including being able to pull the ring vertically into the bow of the bow and arrow, and at one point being able to fly like an iron cannon with the aim of targeting, stretching it like a rope and replacing it.
It was the Dorseims, who were also supposedly in the West, who allegedly made the wisdom of Dorseim. It is told that ears are crooked, relatively small and intelligent, created by a people of high intelligence. It is said that it was extinct hundreds of years ago, so the Dorseim rings were also traded at high prices when found in each region.
Did he give you that stuff?
Well, he’s a rich bong, and I don’t think it’s funny to have one, but how did you do that to me?
“The magic of the Dorseims is also special and has a different nature from ours. That ring, it would be useful in this ocean.”
“This is…”
What a mess you gave me. Did you come here knowing that?
It seemed to be given to me reflexively, so make it unclear if I was thinking that far, I think I would have used it by that seaside if I knew I could have used it in the first place, and it’s kind of scary that they made a debt.
“Um, what’s Nanyok?
I finally wondered, so I asked about that giant creature. That creature is so shocking in me that it still lingers in my head all the time.
When I asked, this again the Sea King answered me comfortably, telling me that that was a sea cleaner. He says it’s a strange fish that eats dirt and garbage that’s sinking under the sea and doesn’t rest every day to clean the ocean.
But there is still one thing left to worry about.
I asked him far-fetched not to be rude as to how the misguided person that was the beginning of the thing happened.
“I had a daughter, but I ran away from home a long time ago. I am convinced that there will be no going back. But when I looked for her, Nanyok told me. I’ve been looking for that ever since. He’s the one who won’t ask if it’s good enough.”
“Is that good?
“There is no right answer to the form of love. For example, it’s strange to think that a woman keeps looking at a man, and a woman doesn’t keep looking at a man, there’s no difference between the two.”
The Sea King grinned nicely as he stroked his white beard.
