Chapter 15 – Skin Armor of the Sea Princess (1)
***
“Your adventure license has been restored. In the future, as a member of the Thunderfield Guild, you can confidently go on an adventure. Congratulations.”
“Is Olivia-sama in?”
“Since Wednesday, you are carrying out a local schedule. Before leaving, he told me to deliver this to Naru.”
The guild receptionist handed out a letter.
I received it and unfolded it.
There was a congratulatory message saying that I am happy that my strength has been restored and an opinion about what I asked for a few days ago.
-Warp Mage, Underwater Breather. Judging from what you asked for, it seems that you haven’t forgotten Queen Isabella’s request.
If you’re going to do that, I think you’ll have a hard time working underwater with only the time-limited underwater breathing magic.
We recommend the ancient legendary armor ‘Sea Princess Skin’ that has been handed down since ancient times.
Please do not overdo it.
Sea Princess skin armor.
A long time ago, a prince of a certain kingdom that existed on this continent once loved him, the mermaid princess, who committed suicide, and he used the corpse to complete the best diving armor that could breathe underwater.
It is said that wearing that armor will allow you to swim faster than fish.
An armor that everyone wants to get their hands on because of its great abilities in the water, but so far no one has been able to get their hands on it.
Because of those who keep the armor.
In the ancient times when the armor was made, the servants who have been guarding the armor until the present day under the command of the prince.
Once human, they are now powerful specters.
“It’s a place I’ve been wanting to visit.”
There was no need to worry.
I set my destination right on the spot.
***
Guild leader Olivia did not save the underwater breather, but the warp wizard was saved.
A weekend off from the academy.
The only time given to me is Saturday and Sunday.
It was physically impossible to accomplish anything in these two days alone.
Because all places are far away.
Therefore, the warp wizard was chosen to reduce the travel time.
“How many kilometers can you warp?”
“I am… It is possible up to 170 kilometers. I heard that you want up to 200 kilometers, but the guild leader said it was okay and chose it.”
“Ah yes.”
It must have been difficult to find a warp company that can travel up to 200 kilometers from the guild.
Warp, who is currently walking side by side, was a married woman in her late thirties.
My first impression was that he was quiet and quiet.
Her husband died while serving as a mercenary, and she has two children.
In any case, unlike general wizards, warp companies are exclusively specialized in warps.
They give up other magic for the rest of their lives and only polish the warp.
To send users as far as possible.
The farther you send it, the greater the income.
The woman I’m with now said that it was up to 170 km, so at this level, she was in the top 20 pro among the four warps.
It’s like touching some money.
“I have a lot of debt due to scammers. He’s struggling to pay off that debt. Besides, the warp companies that can send up to 170 kilometers these days are so hot that they don’t make much money.”
As if to prove her words, she had dark circles under her eyes, and her body was so thin that her skin and bones overlapped.
Her expression was also shaded, and from the outside she seemed like a melancholic and sullen woman.
“Looks like you’ve changed a lot from two years ago.”
“I guess so. But Naru-sama’s body… I heard she is uncomfortable, but she must be better?”
“Yes, it was fine. We do it here.”
“Shall I open it here?”
“Yes.”
“Did you say Naidara Forest?”
“Yes, there it is.”
“I will open it.”
A warp named Sophia took a wand in his hand and began to chant his incantations.
A magic circle formed under his feet and spun around.
Sophia’s hair fluttered and her eyeballs flipped.
As she waited, she was a little scared.
Warp still can’t adapt.
A blue portal was created in the air and grew to a size large enough for people to come in and out.
Her floating hair all at once settled down, and Sophia’s face became calm again.
“Get on.”
“Let’s go.”
I moved her steps into her portal with her.

“Maybe good! Think quickly!”
Go Rapone.
Ashley was beating her chest in her living room, looking frustrated.
“She told me to hurry before he gets her lover!”
“Calm down.”
Mrs. Michelle, sitting on the sofa, stared at her wall and narrowed her eyes.
“Since it’s the divorce deliberation period, I won’t be able to meet anyone easily. I’m still legally married to you, but if I meet another woman in the meantime, it’s like spitting in her face. She must know that she will be criticized by the world.”
“Well what… When she lived with me, Naru didn’t pay much attention to other girls. She’s not interested in girls, so I don’t think she’ll date her right away, but… Still, don’t you know?”
Serena, who was with me in the living room, clapped her hands.
“Mom! Sister! Can’t she just pretend there never was an uncontested divorce? You can just go to the court and say you won’t get a divorce.”
Ashley’s friend Roberini laughed as she stuck a fork into her apple slice.
“You idiot, that’s what Naru must agree to. Ashley can’t do it alone.”
“What do you need consent for?”
Mrs. Michelle raised the corners of her mouth with her slyness.
“Why does the world need consent these days?”
“Yes?”
“Yes?”
“What do you mean?”
“The world is run by money and power.”
Mrs. Michel rose from her seat and applauded her gracefully.
“Serina. Also you are my daughter I had a really cool idea.”
Because of her pride, she was reluctant to visit and appease her naaru.
She had been ignoring and blaming him.
I could never bow down in front of him.
But she wanted to hold on to him, who seemed to be doing well in the future.
Even if the marriage is annulled through the court a year later, her daughter Ashley is a divorcee who has lost her virginity.
No matter how much she restores her hymen and wraps it up, eventually the world will underestimate her value.
Unless the memory of the people of the world is erased, it is impossible to make things that have already happened never happen.
Ashley has had a long hard time meeting a young and capable man she should meet in the future.
In a word, she was too lazy to meet a man with the power of a hero.
If she’s bad, she’ll have to find a man far below him.
An old man with a lot of money, or an aristocratic family who at least keeps face, and so on.
She must marry again, because she will never meet the best and most prestigious children in the social world.
So she had to hold on to Naru.
In the future, in the marriage market of the aristocracy, Naruga may be evaluated as a level comparable to that of a noble family.
Wouldn’t it be a fool to let go of him who was already in his hands in such a situation?
Michelle moved immediately.
A few hours later
An upscale restaurant in downtown.
Mrs. Michelle, along with her daughter Ashley, met with the high priest who is in charge of Naru and Ashley’s arranged divorce.
“My child is reflecting a lot. I earnestly ask that you please take care of me just this once and dispose of your Excellency.”
All kinds of delicacies were generously laid out on the table.
An elderly, white-haired high priest was eating deliciously with a chomp.
“Even aristocrats cannot carelessly divorce. It is because the meeting between a man and a woman was made in heaven. When we say that the heavens forged something, it means that no human being can dare to cut down on the relationship that God has forged.”
The High Priestess looked straight ahead while sucking her seasoned finger.
Ashley sat there, weeping.
“Please forgive me. Sobbing. I will never part with her husband again. Black… We didn’t have an iron fist. Really sorry. I will work hard and live well. Sobbing… !”
The high priest smiled happily and opened his mouth.
“Do you know how many aristocratic couples get divorced in one year? There are only two pairs on average throughout the kingdom. To that extent, people consider divorce a sin. I’ll do something special just this once, so you guys should be patient and endure it.”
“Yes… Your Honor… I regretted a lot through this incident. I must have really loved my husband. I don’t think she can live without it. Sobbing… “
“By the way. Naru is like that too. If she didn’t like her wife, she should have thought of keeping her married life by having a concubine. Excuse me, young men these days have no patience. Tsk.”
When we went out after dinner, the three horses brought by the servants of the Lafone family staggered to their feet.
The horses’ backs were loaded with so many presents that they were too much to carry.
“Hey, why are you giving me so much? I will consider it a donation to our temple and accept it well.”
“It was given to God, so please use it well.”
“But, Sir Naru must have reached an agreement, right?”
“Don’t worry, Lord Naru, we’ll do a good job of persuading you.”
“Okay, madam. Then, do it yourself, and I will go to the courthouse and terminate the divorce proceedings by citing the reason that you have reconciled through my mediation.”
“I am glad that my daughter met such a generous person. Thank you.”
“Thank you. Thank you. I will live well with her husband. Sobbing.”
“Don’t ever think about getting a divorce again, listen carefully to your husband and serve him well. You should never nag while yelling. It is what drives her husband out of her house.”
“Yes… Sniff.”
After her high priest leaves, Ashley sniffs her handkerchief! After she finished, she grinned as if she had never cried before.
“Thank you, mother.”
“What did I say? All you need is money and power. Anyway, that substitute. I’m about to vomit thinking about it. Even if she wasn’t the only high priest.”
The next morning.
A letter arrived at the Rapone family.
It was from the high priest.
It was written in a very businesslike manner.
-The divorce by agreement procedure is still in effect. If either party wishes to divorce, the marriage will be annulled after one year. Please note this.
Along with the shocking letter, even the presents he had given the day before were returned intact.
There was an uproar at Rapone.
“This… What happened?”
“I must have been rejected!”
Ashley squatted in her place, crying at her, and Mrs. Michel clicked her tongue in her disapproving face.
“It’s the son-in-law’s work. It must be that Naru touched her first.”
Yesterday afternoon.
Returning to the court, the high priest received a letter from the palace.
“Since the Queen is watching Lord Naru’s divorce proceedings with interest, I hope for a wise decision… ?”
The High Priestess gave her goosebumps as her hands trembled for a moment.
“This, this is none of my business… !”
