81 - 60 The goddess of water is big in many ways.

Sereia's technique had created a large circular layer of air, and we were able to move underwater by entering the air layer.

Of course, it was Sereia and Tiruna who were leading the way.

When we were fighting, I thought that Tiruna's swimming speed was comparable to that of a normal mermaid, even though she has human legs.

I wonder if the fins on her ankles have a lot to do with it.

She also seems to be able to breathe without any problems, which is a good thing.

But perhaps that is why mermaids are forbidden to mingle with humans.

It may be that they were trying to protect the mermaids purely as a race, but it is obvious that if a more powerful individual is born, the weaker one will eventually be ostracized.

It's beautiful. I never thought I'd be able to see an underwater scene like this so intently.

That's right!　That one looks so delicious!　Let's catch and eat him later!

"......, can you please stop ruining the mood?"

Magmel stabs a half-opinion at Ophir, who is in high spirits.

Anyway, I was glad to see that the girls seemed to have a change of pace.

After all, we couldn't find the fortune teller after all.

I know everyone is probably not happy about this, but at the very least, we need to accomplish our original goal, which was to make the purification process more extensive.

As I was renewing my resolve, Sereia turned to me and said, "I see you all.

I saw it, everyone. That is our mermaid village - Nog.

◇ ◇ "Please stop.

Please stop.

Naturally, as we made our way to the entrance of the village, male mermaids who appeared to be soldiers blocked our way with their spears.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the mermaids are not the only ones who have been forced to leave the village. I don't care what the reason is, I can't let you pass this way.

...... Sereia-sama?

I am aware of that, of course. But please listen to them. They are a group of saints favored by the gods. Especially this Iguza-san, who is a hero of salvation that even Terra-sama, the goddess of the earth, was purified by.

Hero of salvation?　Then the "hero" that Sinus-sama was talking about is ......

"Ah, that's probably me.

The actual "hero of the salvation" is the one who is the hero of the salvation.

And.

I'm so glad you're back, Sereia.

The actual mermaid woman who seems to be of a high rank suddenly appears with her mermaid companions.

The age of the woman appears to be a little older than Sereia, but I wonder if she is her older sister or something.

I had thought so.

'It's been a long time--mother.

「「「「「--?

What do you mean, mother?

What, your mother is not young!

She's in her early thirties at most!

While we were all at a loss for words, the mother looked at Tiruna and said, "The boy has grown up a lot.

She has grown up a lot, hasn't she?

Yes, I am very proud of her.

Tiruna's head was gently patted by Sereia-san, who had come to snuggle up to her.

The mother returned a single word, "I see," and then turned her gaze to us and said.

'I have heard all of your story from Sinus-sama. Thank you so much for saving Sereia ...... daughter."

No, no, don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to us.

The mother said with a faint smile on her stern face as I asked her to raise her head.

Thank you for your concern. Then we will lead the way from here. Sinus-sama has been waiting for us in the temple since a few minutes ago.

I understand. So, I'd like to go to .......

What?

When I tried to look at her and the others, the mother smiled again and said, "I know.

I understand. Since she was born with the destiny of a saint, and since she is to meet you, we have no choice but to accept our destiny. We will lift their banishment, albeit temporarily.

"Oh, really?　Mother?

Yes, it is true. Yes, it is true. Sinus asked me to bring you back anyway. That was my intention all along.

Oh!　I'm so happy for you, Sereia!

Yes, ....... I owe this all to you .......

I am so thankful ......, and I could clearly see tears in Sereia's eyes as she bowed her head, even though she was in the water.

◇ ◇

And so we were led to the temple of the village where Lord Sinus was said to be, the "Water Shrine.

"-Wow, you have come this far, children of men!

「「「「「「......」」」」」」

What we saw there was truly out of the ordinary.

Sinus-sama boasted a huge body, several times the size of a normal person.

In other words, yes - a "giant.

Naturally, her bosom was also outrageous, to the point where one would be afraid to look directly at it.

......

Is it really possible for something this big to exist?

I was trying desperately to control myself in the face of the mystery of God.

"Hey, your nostrils are flaring.

"......"

Well, I guess they know. ......
