Chapter 216: a cry for help

　

Emerode Lagoon is a small country consisting of seven large islands and countless small islands floating in the sea 1000 kilometers west of Alcalise. 

The majority of the residents were half-mermen, and they lived a self-sufficient lifestyle with an abundance of seafood and a wide variety of fruits that could be harvested all year round. 

The roots of the half-merman race are said to be half-humans born between a human race and a fish-man race, but no one knows the details anymore. 

The time for change has come in such a peaceful country. 

One day, a magnificent ship came to Emerald Lagoon. 

The residents of the country welcomed and welcomed them. The guests liked the precious coral and gave it as a gift as a token of friendship, and they were very happy, announced that they would come again, and left. 

A few years later, they came again. 

This time, he will lead a large number of military ships. 

Emerald Lagoon was quickly overrun, and many half-mermaids, including the king, were captured and made into slaves and playthings. 

Only the princess, some of her aides, and a few citizens managed to escape. 

With nowhere to go, they had no choice but to rely on the fish-man country, which is not very friendly, but in exchange for their protection, the fish-man king made a condition: the marriage of the fish-man prince and princess. 

The princess, who does not have the strength to fight, accepts an engagement with the fish-man prince in order to take back her country for the sake of her people. 

"Princess, no matter what, we will call for help."

The three people in her entourage, the maids and maids who are good at swimming, bid farewell to the princess with tragic determination. 

"Are you really going to go? I just have to endure it..."

The princess hugs the three while crying. 

"Princess, we have no intention of reclaiming our country from the fishmen. That's why we have no choice but to go."

In fact, for the fishmen who live under the sea, Emerald Lagoon has little interest. 

Unless they are attacked, they don't have the will or motive to make sacrifices to get them back. 

Although they say they'll take it back, it's probably more than just a convenience to convince the princess. 

It is said that the girls are heading to a continent far to the east. 

This is because there was a legend that a long time ago, a person from another world who visited the country told them to come to the eastern country if they had any troubles when they parted ways. 

It's a legend from a long time ago, the truth of which is uncertain, but these girls had no other choice. 

Unlike the shallow water around Emerald Lagoon, which is protected by a barrier, the open sea is also inhabited by dangerous monsters. 

The three set off riding a magical beast called Squid that was tamed by the royal family. 

The marriage ceremony will be held one year after the princess becomes an adult. 

Even if they arrive safely, how long will it take to get reinforcements and come back? 

In the first place, would anyone go out of their way to help a distant island nation? The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, but I have no choice but to do it. 

Thanks to the monster-proofing necklace I received from the princess, most monsters won't come near me. 

The trip was progressing smoothly, but... 

“Frone, Nadia, run away, quickly!!!”

Unfortunately, they were attacked by a sea dragon, and Kitora used herself as a decoy to let the two escape. 

"Guss... Kitora-sama..."

Nadia consoles Flone, who breaks down in tears. 

"Stay strong. If we don't achieve our goal, we will be sorry to Kitora-sama."

But――――

"Frone, I asked you to do the rest! Please, run away..."

The two were attacked by a group of pirates, but thanks to Nadia's quick thinking, only Florne was able to escape. 

(Kitora-sama...Nadia...)

Flowne swam. Day and night, he continued to swim with all his might. 

To get back my hometown, to help the princess, and for Kitora and Nadia, who sacrificed themselves and let me escape. 

Please...God...someone...help me...!!! 

“……!?”

"What's wrong, Chloe?"

Claudia bumps into Chloe who suddenly stopped. 

"...I can smell the need for help... everyone?"

"""Of course, I'll go!!"""

"So? Where is it?"

"It's the one at the port... it's quite weak. Let's hurry!"

Everyone nodded at Chloe's words. 

“Everyone, please hold on to me. Water source transfer!!!”

With Mizuha's teleportation, everyone arrived at the port instantly. 

　　

What I saw there was a woman lying on the beach. 

It has distinctive scales and a dorsal fin on its back, but no one has been able to figure out what it really is. Except for one person. 

"...Half-mermen...rare."

"Do you know? Setsuna?"

　

Mikoto asked in surprise. 

"Yes, my acquaintance's wife was a half-mermaid."

"We have to get treatment for now! Mizuha-san."

Her whole body was in tatters and her breathing was weak. If you leave it alone, it might die. Arisa hurriedly calls her talented sister. 

“Please leave it to me, Arisa-nee-sama.”

Therapeutic magic is largely concentrated in two attributes: water and light. 

There are exceptions like Sakura's plant magic, but they are just exceptions, and the major attributes are water and light. 

Of course, the saints Aries and Sophia can also be treated, but they are no match for the great spirit Mizuha. 

Especially since Mizuha was a member of the merman race with a deep connection to water. 

"Uh... ah... here... huh?"

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a half-merman woman sitting up in a panic. 

"This is Arcadia, the capital of Alkalise. It's okay to take it easy. Tell me what happened."

Celestina asks kindly. 

"Don't worry. We will guarantee your safety. There is nothing to be afraid of."

He must have been relieved by Justitia's words. 

The half-merman woman couldn't stop crying. 

"Hey, look, my beauty is ruined, right? Eat this and cheer yourself up."

Milein holds out a sweet fruit on a stick. 

I guess he calmed down a little after eating the fruit. We started talking little by little. 

“My name is Flone. Please. Please help us!!”
