chapter 130
130 – Kraken (6)
“Even if my father catches me, I won’t help him.”
“It’s for the country, so it’ll be okay. “Everyone thinks so, right?”
“Eup! Ugh!” “Town!”
Look.
This enthusiastic response that they agree with what I said.
Even though you can’t speak with your mouth shut, don’t you feel the passion to protect the country?
The appearance of vigorously fluttering like a mermaid,
This is truly the type of talent we need the most.
However, the number of soldiers currently recruited is small, only about 20.
I want to gather at least 100 people.
“How long does it take a mermaid from fertilization to adulthood?”
“… “The only one here right now is a male, so what is the purpose of your question?”
Sigh.
“Why are you looking at me! “I’m royalty!”
I just saw it, but I immediately got angry.
Is it possible that I am lacking calcium?
Anyway, if you don’t have the means to call it yourself, all that’s left is to go back one more time.
I was lucky this time and didn’t get caught,
Will I be lucky enough to secretly bring him back next time?
“Let’s give it a try and think about it.”
If you get scared before you even try, there is nothing you can do.
I’m about to put on my mask again and head to the palace.
Dozens of footsteps could be heard from afar.
I turned my head to see what was going on.
Crackling.
Approximately 100 soldiers and Poseidon were marching towards this direction.
What’s going on?
Could a war break out around here?
Your facial expression is scary.
“You bastard! I forgave him because he was Rose Marie’s guest. “I can never forgive you this time!”
‘Ah, you came to catch me.’
I don’t think they would have thought that the king would come in person just because they captured a few soldiers.
And with up to 100 soldiers.
‘Wait a minute, there are 100 people?’
If you fall, let’s check the group of kings who have reached within a nose’s reach.
The conditions I wanted were met.
Doesn’t the fact that they came with the king mean they are elite?
I was just planning to fill up the number of ships, but talent came on its own.
Where can I find such luck?
“… No? “My father is with us now.”
“It is for the country. “I’m sure they’ll forgive you to some extent!”
Rosemary had an ominous feeling when she saw my face,
My decision does not change.
It is quite difficult to knock out this level of people at once.
But if you take advantage of the fact that your opponent is a mermaid,
It can be solved without much difficulty.
Pajijik
When I put magic power in my hand, there was static electricity.
As I added magic power little by little, the static electricity turned into electric current and began to flash.
“Non-attribute magic, shock wave!”
Let’s hold out our hands,
Hundreds of branches of electricity spread out ahead.
“aaah!”
Belatedly, we discovered the flying prongs of electricity, but since they were moving in large numbers, we were unable to avoid them and were hit squarely.
Up to 100 soldiers trembled and fainted,
The king’s prestige was still intact, and even though he stumbled, he stood up proudly on his own two legs.
“You guy….”
“It’s stronger than I thought.”
“What on earth have you done! “This is treason!”
Although Rose Marie’s remarks are also realistic,
To me, that was just nonsense.
“It is treason only if there is a country. “What good is treason and all that when the country is in danger of disappearing soon?”
“That’s….”
If things continue like this, Atlantis will be destroyed.
In that case, I would rather use it usefully,
If we save the country, everyone can have a happy ending, right?
“So just sleep for a moment!”
“Father!!!”
As expected, belly bread seems to be the best for fainting.

“Ugh….”
After arresting all the soldiers who came to catch me,
While reviewing the strategy for a moment, Poseidon came to his senses with a rustle.
Poseidon was unable to understand the situation at first.
When he saw my face, he immediately started blushing and getting angry.
“Do you know what you just did! Not only did he dare to intercept a soldier, he also attempted to assassinate the king. Do you know how great a sin this is?”
“It’s not like I boiled a train barrel, so why is it so noisy?”
“Who are you doing this for?” .”
Poseidon, who was angry like fire, suddenly stopped his words,
He turned his gaze from me to the wall behind me.
The wall was filled with information about the upcoming Great Vengeance Kraken operation.
Poseidon, who witnessed it, denied the reality, saying, ‘That’s ridiculous.’
“Are you really planning to defeat that guy?”
“Of course. “That’s what I came here for.”
“……….”
Now a slave to be pampered… , not.
Now that we have some work to do, we can just do it tomorrow.
Of course, we need to fix the problematic parts as much as possible before that.
There are some things that are realistically impossible at the moment, so we have to take that into account.
“Mermaid’s Jewel! “How could you, a human, do that!”
“That’s because I saw it in person and asked Rose Marie.”
Reviewing the operation and answering Poseidon’s questions.
The anger in his voice disappeared from a moment ago.
“… But if this operation goes as planned, only 100 people will not be enough.”
“You have to endure it with perseverance. And any living thing becomes stronger when it is in danger of death.”
The more the better,
I can’t say that this is the best for now.
Still, with 100 people, the minimum level has been achieved, so it is not impossible at all.
Thinking like that, I waved the chalk.
He spoke to me in a solemn voice as if he had decided on something.
“If I help you, will I be able to save this country?”
Let’s stop his hand for a moment and look behind him,
Poseidon, with a kingly face, quietly waited for my answer.
If the King of the Iris Kingdom had acted like that, the nobles wouldn’t have run amok.
I was slightly impressed by how he looked like a true example of a king.
It looks unsightly as it is tied up with a rope.
“It’s not a question of whether you can do it or not. “It must be done.”
“Why are you helping us? “It’s not your country, much less the same race.”
Honestly, the future of this country has nothing to do with me.
This is a country you will never come back to anyway.
An unrelated country that will not have anything to do with me in the future.
But if you run away or give up, Rosemary will only be devastated, just like the original.
A girl whose hope has disappeared and there is only despair.
A misfortunate princess who will spend her whole life shedding tears and longing for a lost country.
It was just a whim because I knew her future.
As a man, I don’t want to make the woman in front of me cry. It’s a whim.
“A beautiful woman asked me to do it, so I have to do it until the end.”
To hide my shame, I made up excuses like a joke.
Poseidon, who was momentarily dumbfounded by my answer, soon came to his senses and said,
He said it was an interesting answer and laughed heartily.
“Fuhahahahaha! Yes, my daughter is definitely beautiful. “It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful person in the world!”
“Yes, not to that extent.”
No matter what anyone says, the most beautiful woman is Lily.
That is absolutely unacceptable.
But he didn’t seem to understand what I said, and with a dissatisfied face, he asked what was the problem.
“What is my daughter lacking that makes her like that?”
“It’s more about personality than appearance. “With that personality, who would like her, no matter how nice her face is?”
“Her personality cannot be said to be good, even as a father, but her looks are the best in the world!”
“But no.”
What is the best in the world on the topic of cutting from zero?
At least Zero must win!
***
I wonder if the conversation went well after that.
Poseidon promised to cooperate with me and returned to the palace.
I am afraid that they will change their words later and come to arrest me.
You just have to think about it at that time.
The operation has been reviewed and can be carried out tomorrow.
Now all that’s left is to get a good night’s sleep for tomorrow.
It’s strange that I can’t sleep.
“I’m going crazy. “I have to fight for my life tomorrow.”
Honestly, there is no need to risk your life.
If anything happens, it can all be resolved by using a ticket.
Of course, there may be repercussions, but no matter what is done, it is a problem that can be solved as long as time passes.
If everything ends before then, I’ll just say I’m out of luck.
“What are you doing? “Are you having trouble sleeping?”
“… Well, that’s right.”
When I turned my head to the voice that sounded like jade beads rolling,
Rosemari, dressed lightly as it was before going to bed, approached me.
I asked if he had any pajamas, but he said that he was usually naked when he slept so it was uncomfortable to wear them.
But since I was sleeping with someone else, I dressed like that.
Honestly, because it is loose, it is visible even if you move it a little.
It is quite see-through, so even if you cover it with clothes, you can still see it to some extent.
“… Thank you. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
“We haven’t even started yet, don’t be thankful already. “There is no guarantee of success.”
Will I be able to do well tomorrow?
I can’t sleep due to such vague anxiety.
Even if you say thank you in that situation, it doesn’t feel very pleasant.
“I heard it from my father. “They say they help me because I’m beautiful. Is this true?”
“If you judge her solely on her appearance, excluding her personality, she is a beauty.”
Nine out of ten people would recognize her as a beauty.
It is lacking in many ways compared to Lily.
This can be said to be a look that will not be overlooked anywhere.
But Rose Marie’s attitude was as if she was hearing it for the first time.
“This is my first time.”
“What?”
“Not from my parents, but from what I was told was beautiful or pretty.”
I guess it wasn’t an illusion, it was really my first time hearing it.
“Do you know what the standard of beauty is for the mermaid people?”
“You don’t know. “How would I know?”
“The closer a mermaid is to a fish, the more beautiful she is. “If you’re closer to a human like me, you’re not a beauty.”
Crazy, the closer you are to a fish, the more beautiful you are?
So, fish are like sculptures of beauty?
The more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes and the more I laugh.
“Do you really think I’m pretty?”
“If you just look at the appearance, yes.”
“Of course.”
At that moment, a cool wind blew and passed between me and Rosemary.
“If I change my personality, can you date me?”
For a moment, I fell silent in response to Rosemary’s question.
Are you kidding me?
However, Rose Marie’s clear eyes did not look like she was lying.
It’s not that I don’t notice,
I cannot understand the intention of the question.
But I have no intention of dating anyone right now.
If you clumsily allow your feelings, the damage will be done to Rose Marie.
So, to make her give up, I gave her the worst manly answer.
“I’m sorry, I can’t be satisfied with just one woman. If you like it, do whatever you want. “Okay then!”
He let out a quick sigh like a machine gun and left immediately.
But I shouldn’t have done that.
I should have checked her expression before leaving.
Who would have guessed that something like that would happen because of those words that were said inadvertently?
