EP. 34 -The heroine is distressed
At the deep sea, which can only reach the light of the sun, he was quietly lurking, with his huge body swaying.
He was the king of the surrounding waters.
It should not be in this sea that threatens him, who is a powerful being, but still does not relax.
Unlike his brothers who had just eaten their instinct, he had the intelligence to be born.
That's why he knows he is weak.
He is just the result of living long, avoiding danger as much as possible.
Of course, luck was good.
This is because there is no outer resident due to the invisible wall surrounding the sea area, or the existence of this wall that rejects only a certain size.
It was fortunate that it would not come out, but it would not come out, but the existence of a more powerful outside world would not come to this sea.
So what if you are not outside?
It has been confirmed that there are countless beings on this quiet sea than him.
The dwarfed beings that can not move satisfactorily in the sea and drag into this area will seem like a good bait for them.
But once they get their eyes, they will endlessly track it and come to retaliate in a group.
In the past, his brothers, who were open to them, were killed for that.
In conclusion, the best solution is to live while gaining daily food at the bottom of this sea.
In fact, he has been alive for a long time.
However, his life is almost over.
“Oh…”
He continued to escape from the dangers of all deaths and lived for a long time.
The level of meals obtained in this sea area can no longer fill his stomach, and can not escape outside due to the existence of the wall that has protected him.
His intelligence, which was wise, fluctuates the hunger that is still full of prey in the surrounding area.
“── !!”
At that time, his sensory organs captured the existence of new prey.
The place of the prey is above.
It is a world with that little.
He wouldn't have a stupid choice, such as giving them to them.
However, he had no reason to judge normally.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
(Why…?)
Maria's heart is not clear while playing with everyone in the sea, which has been around for the first time in a long time since the previous life.
Despite the fact that it was repaired on the surface, the events mentioned earlier had a dark shadow on Mary's heart.
She is the protagonist of the maiden game “Jewel Prince” In this world.
She has lived as Maria Norton since she regained her memories of her previous life as a child, and she was loved by the world.
Even in slums that were said to be insecure, childhood friends were protecting me, and the adults around were not bad.
Even after being picked up by Baron Norton, a real father, everyone was so kind without being discriminated against because he was a former commoner.
Certainly, training as a nobleman was troublesome, but he did not struggle so much with the help of his previous life.
Life at the school was hard at first, but I was able to get along with them immediately with the help of the prince.
The only thing that gave her hostility to her is that Isabella, but she's a villain in the game.
Other than that, Maria was a girl loved by anyone.
That's why the clear rejection from the crow earlier was shocking for Maria.
Certainly, because the capture has not progressed for some reason, Crow's liking remains low.
But still in the game he would never make Maria evil.
And ──
(What an eye! That should be something that should be directed to me!?)
On the verge of leaving Mary, the compassionate eyes that Crow turned to Isabella stick to his head and stay away.
Maria knows that expression.
That is the expression that shows at the event when I opened my heart for the first time after my favorability increased.
Why do you turn that to the villain Isabella, not the main character, Maria?
I don't like it, I don't like it!
“What, that…?”
Looking at the sandy beach with a messy emotion, I noticed that the crow was invisible.
Until a while ago, I should have been on the beach with Isabella, but where is it?
“What's wrong, Maria?”
“Crow, where did you go?”
“… That's right, I don't know because I haven't seen it too.”
Alberto, who is worried about the solid Maria, is approaching.
When I heard about Crow, she seemed to be worried for a moment, but she shakes her head.
After all, Albert doesn't seem to know where Crow goes.
Where did you go?
“I see…”
“Maria, you are…”
Albert, who has a disappointing expression, looks steep and tries to say something, but quickly closes his mouth.
When I was wondering about Alberto, something entangled with Maria's feet.
“Huh…?
Before confirming the identity, the legs are pulled with a strong force, and Mary's body floats in the air.
“Maria!?”
“What is this?”
Mary overlooks the surroundings to grasp the situation while hanging in the air while being upside down.
And the eyes of the pair of eyes just looked at this were met.
“Eh, ah… Hello?”
“Ooooo!”
“Hi…! Help someone!”
Even though he tried to communicate with a smile, he failed brilliantly.
Maria asked for help in a huge monster in a rising squid.
“I'll help you now! Release Mary, this monster!”
Not everyone else is silently watching that situation.
Albert, the closest, moves first and boldly jumps on the monster to help Maria.
“Oohon!”
“Gupya!?”
However, for such enemies, the monsters swelled one of their own arms and hit Alberto into the petin and the sea.
“Al!?”
“Oh, oh…”
Alberto dropped due to a direct hit, but is immediately pulled up from the sea by the monster's arm.
Although it is cramped with peeling white eyes, it seems that there is no difference in life just because he has lost consciousness.
For now, the situation has not been improved, despite being relieved.
(This is not an event!)
Maria was suddenly impatient, but I remembered that this situation was one of the events in the game.
Maria who was playing in the sea was taken away by the suddenly appearing Kraken, and then drifted to an uninhabited island.
If this is the event, there is no danger of life for the time being.
Leon, the last one, is defeated, and the caught Maria is dragged into the sea together by Kraken.
(What, that? Crow!?)
On the verge of that, I remembered something important.
Certainly, at that event, Crow should be caught together.
The lack of it…
“Cho, wait a minute…!”
The impatient Maria tries to stop, but that's not the monster knowing.
Kraken dive in the sea, and Maria lost consciousness.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“…? What is it so noisy?”
When I returned to the beach with my young lady, the situation changed.
On the sandy beach, which should have been almost uninhabited, multiple knights ran and ran around, giving it a tremendous atmosphere.
What happened while we were away?
“Welcome back young lady, Crow. I was just trying to call.”
For the time being, in order to check the situation, he joins Ains, who was instructing the maids moving around the umbrellas.
Ains also recognized this figure, and when we rushed to us, we bowed our head lightly.
“Is your young lady injured?”
“Hmm!? Ba, nothing else!”
The young lady may have been worried that the young lady was holding down her neck, and the young lady turned her face red and tried to deceive it.
And behind the young lady, I was looking at the scene with a grin and smiling.
Although it disappears immediately, it seems embarrassing to be able to see the remaining teeth on the white neck.
By the way, when the presence of the tooth type was lost, I was messed up, but if I could see the shy young lady, it was not a pain.
“…?”
“Well, it's not a big deal. That's right, a young lady?”
In order to make sure that the vague reaction of the young lady is correct, Ains turns his gaze to check here.
In order to convey the information correctly to Ains, I open my mouth so that I embrace the young lady's waist and show it to bite the neck on the other side.
“Huh!”
“It hurts!?”
The young lady who was sharp in my attitude stepped on my feet and hit the back fist into the face.
With a relentless two -stage attack, I squat down on my face while in agony.
He seemed to get too tone.
No, but the shy young lady is also pretty…!
“Oh…”
“Don't get on the tone! So what is this situation?”
“Yes, a huge Kraken appeared from the sea earlier. We were safe because we were far away, but the nearby Highness was attacked and hanged into the sea. So, now, the Knights and Kingdom of the Kingdom of this city are working together to search for the His Highness.”
While I was in agony, the young lady turned to Ains, and ignored me whether Ains was no problem after seeing such a situation, and started explaining.
Is it because of the usual expression, but the expression looks somewhat amazing?… Can you worry a little?
“Why is monsters in this place in the first place? Isn't this city protected by the barrier?”
Standing up while enduring the pain, I question.
Yes, because it is protected by a powerful barrier, this city was able to take care of it and develop it, and it is also a resort area.
Isn't the story different from this?
“It's not a strange thing. The barrier stretched in this city only prevents the invasion of powerful monsters outside. Less threats can enter and exit normally.”
It was the young lady who answered my question.
If you're not angry anymore, your young lady will explain it carefully for me, who is not familiar with magic.
I'm very grateful and grateful, but I'm excited about the dignified expression of a completely different expression than when I was shining in my arms a while ago.
“So, the knights in this city should have been patroling around the territory and exterminating… As far as she hears, it seems that I missed it secretly.”
In other words, it seems to be a blunder of the Knights in this city.
By the way, the same is true for the Kingdom Knights, who had been the escort of the prince.
Indeed, they have such a desperate expression.
Moreover, the prince of this country was more damaged, and it would surely blow away some of the necks.
It's meaningless before the fact that the sea was large and could not be found.
Poor…
“How can I do it?”
That said, that situation has nothing to do with us.
The important thing is what to do in the future.
“This is their blunder, it's not what we need to be involved in, and this beach doesn't seem to be usable for a while, so let's go back to the mansion.”
“I'm crazy. Then, Ains will ask for the withdrawal as it is.”
Perhaps because he was satisfied with swimming as much as possible, the young lady decided to return to the mansion without particular attention.
It was good.
I don't think it would be as expected, but if I made a choice to stay here, it was a place where I had to take forced means for the young lady for safety.
“Let's go, the young lady.”
“Yeah, I'm a little hungry because I moved. Let's eat when I return home.”
“Yes. Yes, a young lady! Apparently, the story of the mansion is preparing fresh seafood that I just got this morning.”
“Hey, I'm looking forward to it.”
If you leave this place to Ains and look back, the young lady will take my hands and lined up next to me.
We held hands together, and we returned while talking about the way to the mansion.
