Uwaa~ it’s true. Her race is Mermaid.

This woman is without a doubt a mermaid. Only her upper body is visible, so I can only see an ordinary human woman.

As expected, diving under the sea to confirm would be rude, but does this woman has a tailfin as expected?

It’s a mermaid! I want to confirm right away, but patience. Patience……

「Why do you know about me?」

「I was informed about you by Water G.o.d’s retainer-sama」

Haa? From Water G.o.d’s retainer-sama?

First, I confirmed how does the mermaid woman know about me, but an unexpected answer has come back.

…… Just what is going on?

「Come again, the Water G.o.d’s retainer-sama has……」

「I have been advised that you would be able to solve a problem we are facing. Tak.u.mi-sama, could I request your a.s.sistance, please? 」

What’s with that…… just what did the Water G.o.d’s retainer-sama say to these people?

In addition to that, Mirena-sam must have been informed beforehand that we will come here.

「Umm…… an a.s.sistance you say……」

「For the details, we have to go to our village. Could we move there first?」

Mirena-san asks while deeply bowing her head.

If you ask me like that, there’s no way I could reject, but……

「No, no, wait a moment. Your village is definitely under the sea, right? Even if we can swim, we won’t be able to go there」

Because we won’t be able to breathe.

Rather, in the first place, can I swim? In the past…… of course, I could swim!

Well, I know the method of swimming itself so if it’s the present body I feel like I could do it. My motor nerves have exceptionally improved after all.

Regarding Allen and Elena, I think that they would immediately master swimming if shown. We are talking about those two after all……

But, even if they were able to swim, as expected it would not be possible for them to breathe underwater. No…… I have a feeling that they would be able to stay underwater for quite a lot of time because of an outrageous lung capacity……

But even that would not allow us to stay underwater for a longer period of time.

「I am prepared in regard of that」

「………?」

「…… Please wait for a moment」

When I was lost in my thoughts, Mirena-san takes something out and presents it to me.

U~n…… what’s that?

Silver… I wonder? I can see a looped string-like thing sitting in Mirena-san’s palm, but…… I don’t know what that is.

Because we are at the water’s edge and Mirena-san in the sea, there’s a subtle distance between us.

When I tilt my head, Mirena-san lets the thing in her hand float on the sea’s surface. It gets jolted by the waves and slowly drifts to us little by little.

It didn’t feel like the waves were natural, was it manipulated by Water magic?

When I pick up the floating thing, it was a bracelet. With an engraved thin curious pattern. It feels hard on touch, but it’s not a mineral? What is it?

I thought it was silver, but it looks iridescent because of the reflections. A mysterious color.

I couldn’t figure anything out just by looking so I appraise it straight away.

A bracelet made with the scales of a mermaid.

A magic tool that allows breathing under water.

In addition, it wraps entire body in a thin film, preventing clothes from getting wet.
