Academy Pure Love Prison Guard

127 – Kraken (3)

Have you ever heard of magical power?

Not the magic power used when using magic,

Magic power refers to the power of words.

In the past, the most common means of transportation was carriages, and the unit based on horses is mana.

But I have a question here.

Does it really need to be said?

Couldn’t it be a different living thing?

For example, wouldn’t it be okay to have a mermaid moving briskly?

“Devil! You devil! Monster!”

“Yes, swim hard for us.”

Currently, breathing has been solved by creating a thin membrane using magic.

I faced the problem of not being able to swim in this condition.

Movement can also be solved with magic.

Because we do not know exactly where the kingdom of Atlantis is,

I couldn’t carelessly waste magical power.

I’m wondering how I can go while conserving my mana.

-After all, humans are an inferior race. I’m barely going into the water, so I’m worried about that.

With one provocation from Rose Marie,

It was neatly resolved by hanging a rope around her.

If it’s on land, if it’s in the water, there’s no better means of transportation than a mermaid.

As if to prove it, it hasn’t been long since she swam,

The underwater kingdom, Atlantis, began to appear before our eyes.

The dazzling city was beautiful at a glance,

The closer we got to the city, the easier it was to spot mermaids swimming in the water.

“Arrived! Kuweek!”

As soon as we arrived in the city, Rose Marie immediately stretched out.

She ignored her and looked around her.

There was some commotion around us, and soon people who appeared to be guards gathered and surrounded us.

“Throw away all weapons immediately and quietly hand over the princess! Then I won’t touch your life!”

Dozens of mermaids aimed their spears in this direction,

He seemed nervous, as if he was not used to this kind of situation.

You cringe just by making eye contact with me,

There were quite a few people whose pupils were shaking.

Ignoring them, he pointedly asked Rosemary, who was still lying on the floor.

“Were you really a princess?”

“… Did you really not believe it? I really am a princess. “The only child of King Poseidon Rune Atlantis!”

“You have to be like a princess to be trusted.”

I knew it, but

She was so different from the girl I knew, I didn’t want to believe it.

However, since those protecting the country directly called her princess, she could no longer deny reality.

In other words, this person is the same person as the Rose Marie I knew, who will one day become a slave.

She is not princess-like at all.

“This is outrageous! If you insult me, you will be put to death. I know?”

“Wouldn’t it be quicker for me to kill you first before I get executed?”

“…… “You know it’s a joke, right?”

Rosemary’s face turned pale at my threat.

You have to play pranks while observing people.

If you do this to just anyone, you will end up with a serious injury.

Someone should have told me this, but it seems like no one told me such an obvious fact just because she was a princess.

Pubu boo!

“You Thorin!”

The sound of a trumpet suddenly sounded.

The first to react to that was Rose Marie.

He quickly got up, brushed off the dust from his body, and immediately came next to me.

After waiting for a while, a palanquin coming towards us, cutting through the crowd, came into view.

The soldiers who pointed their spears at us,

As I hurriedly got out of the way at the sound of the trumpet, I made eye contact with the person inside the palanquin.

A huge mermaid appeared from inside the palanquin, which soon stopped in front of us.

The golden crown on his head,

He proved that he is the king of this country.

“Is it you who arrived in the kingdom with Rosemary?”

“Then you are this tomboy’s father?”

When asked playfully,

The area under Poseidon’s eyes trembled slightly.

He didn’t stop at that, but spoke in a slightly angry voice.

“Then educate your daughter properly! “Unless you want to be left behind!”

***

After moving to the royal palace,

I was speechless at the ironic sight.

“I’m so sorry!”

The king sitting on the throne,

Let’s tell Poseidon the story of when we met Rose Marie.

He bowed his head and apologized, forgetting his position as king.

Usually the father of such a tomboyish girl,

He is a person who stands by his daughter no matter what happens.

The king seemed far from such a senseless person.

“I guess it’s all because of my lack of virtue. “I raised her very carefully because she was my only daughter.”

Next to Poseidon, who was blaming himself, a woman gently hugged him.

If you judge by appearance alone, she appears to be Rose Marie’s older sister.

She clearly said that she was Poseidon’s only daughter.

That means….

“Your Majesty the Queen?”

“Oh, I see. I haven’t introduced it yet. “I am Diné Rune Atlantis, mother of foolish Rosemary and wife of Poseidon.”

They say that for most people, everything is decided by first impressions.

If that is what it looks like,

How did such good parents come from a daughter with such a trash personality?

I was speechless when I saw Rose Marie showing no interest despite her parents repeatedly apologizing.

Let’s not raise my daughter like that.

With that thought in mind, I looked straight ahead again.

“Anyway, are you sure that the demon threatening Atlantis is Kraken?”

“It definitely looks like a Kraken based on its overall appearance. But anyone who has ever met one will know that it is not a Kraken.”

First of all, we are sure that it is the Kraken we were looking for.

I was already convinced through the conversation with Rose Marie, but

When the King speaks directly, there is a clear difference in credibility.

Now all that’s left is information about him.

However, when asked for information, Poseidon drooled and shook his head.

“I’m sorry. This is an incident for our mermaid tribe. “I’m sorry, but I ask you to step aside.”

“… ….”

Why is there no one who can help me like this?

Doesn’t the b*tch called the princess have an arrogant attitude without knowing anything about the world?

The king is sitting there talking nonsense.

Do you think I have come to save the kingdom of Atlantis?

My goal is to destroy that Kraken!

Honestly, the kingdom is none of my business!

But if I were honest, I could become a traitor, so I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.

“That is unacceptable. “Because my goal is him.”

“I can’t give in. This is an important matter that affects the honor of the mermaid tribe. So….”

Cow!

After listening and listening, I eventually ran out of patience,

I stamped my feet so hard that the floor seemed to break.

Then the floor cracked with a loud noise, and Poseidon fell silent.

“Don’t talk nonsense, just pass on the information.”

I’m not here to make unnecessary jokes.

The reason we ask for information is simply to process it safely.

If you can’t get information, you can just attack them recklessly like usual.

I spoke in a boiling voice, but

Nevertheless, Poseidon steadfastly kept his mouth shut.

“Tch! This is why we will perish. Let’s go, Zero!”

“Yes, I understand.”

Now I finally understand why Atlantis fell.

If such a stuffy king sits there, destruction is already predicted.

Kraken? Simply brought the time forward.

We could no longer communicate, so we turned our backs and left the palace.

***

“Wait a minute!”

The moment you leave the palace,

I turned around when I heard an urgent call from behind,

Rosemari came running, panting, and stopped in front of me with difficulty.

“I have nothing to say to you. So hurry….”

“Let me help too!”

“…… What?”

I thought you came to say something strange.

I stopped asking because the sound was unexpectedly normal.

Is this the same person who said to treat her with respect because she is a princess?

With such thoughts in mind, let’s cast a skeptical eye,

He responded with unwavering eyes and held my hand.

“You plan to defeat that monster, right? Then let me help too!”

“You? “Can you fight?”

As far as I know, Rose Marie is a typical supporter.

He is a low-level supporter who is nothing but trash.

If it’s an underwater battle, it might be of some help.

Even that won’t be of much help.

“Well, that’s hard, but…” .”

“Then don’t do anything useless and go back to the castle.”

I sent away Rose Marie, who cringed at my question,

I’m about to go back on my way.

My steps stopped at the words Rose Marie spoke.

“Then our Atlantis will be destroyed!”

“… “How can you do that?”

Have you been listening to me talking to myself?

Let’s look at her, embarrassed by her unexpected words.

She shed beads of tears.

No, she was really crying, shedding her tears.

“Even if all the mermaids in Atlantis come together, they can’t defeat that guy. “It was truly a monster!”

Could it be that he saw it in person?

If that were the case, it would not be strange to believe that the kingdom would naturally fall.

The word ‘monster’ really fits the bill.

“But it doesn’t get better just because you come. “On the contrary, it will only become a burden and a hindrance.”

“… I’m still going though! “Because we can’t just sit back and watch Atlantis fall!”

Is there still a perception that she is a princess?

The will to confidently sacrifice for the country was remarkable.

Still, she cannot accept her.

This isn’t a kid’s joke, it’s something that could really cost her her life.

My heart is wonderful,

If you don’t have the strength to achieve it, it’s worse than not going at all.

“… “Master, why don’t you just take me with you?”

“Zero!?”

I was greatly surprised by a word from Zero, who was quietly observing the situation.

In times like this, Zero seems to take my side,

For some reason, he took Rose Marie’s side rather than mine.

“You might not know. “Maybe something will help.”

“Can I really follow you?”

“Of course not! Zero, think again. “If you take something like that, it’s only a loss for us.”

“So, loss!?”

“That thing is dead and waking up won’t help. Even if you try to use it as bait, it gets eaten quickly.”

Despite repeated persuasion, Zero remained silent.

I guess I gained confidence when my persuasion didn’t work.

Rosemari, who was in great spirits, tapped my side and spoke to me.

“You have to take me with you no matter what. “It’s a shame, so what can I do?”

“…… Ok, fine.”

“Ugh?”

If you want, I will do my best to use it!

Let’s tie Rose Marie up with a rope,

It was only then that I realized something was wrong, and my complexion turned pale.

But it was already too late.

Don’t think that you can back off now after provoking me like that.

“Then, let’s find accommodation nearby and think about how we can use this guy.”

“Now, wait! I think my thinking is wrong. I’ll just go back, so can’t you just let me go? Please!!!”

Rosé Marie’s sorrowful voice rang out,

I silently walked on to find a place to stay without looking back until the end.
