"Miko Princess, Takumi-sama is troubled."

"Oh my, Gard. I am just telling the truth, there is no reason for Takumi-sama to be troubled."

"Then, you wouldn't mind if I tell him on the day of the first meeting with Miko Princess 'That I know Miko Princess very well. She's quite the tomboy' would you?"

The elderly man next to Miko Princess stops her.

On the contrary to my expectations of Miko Princess being a secluded Ojousama, it seems she's quite the tomboyish child...... Her appearances don't match her personality.

"...... Oh. Takumi-sama, please forgive us."

"No worries......"

"Right, right, I have not introduced you to Takumi-sama yet, did I? He is Gard, the Chief managing the mermaids living here."

"I'm the Chief, Gard. Thank you very much for today."

The man is apparently the Chief of mermaids. He's very good-natured-ish looking old man.

"Chief, is it? I heard that the Miko Princess is the Lord of Blue Waters Shrine, is Chief something different?"

"Yes. I am indeed the Lord of the Blue Waters Shrine, but Miko Princess is the so-called honorary position. The person with the most affinity with the God takes the place generation after generation. There's a different one for each clan."

Actually, there is no way to know the affinity with God, so abilities, etc. are unrelated. Miko Princess is a symbolic existence, a woman elected by the clan to become a holy individual.

Miko Princess mutters "I did not really want to do it because it is too stiff..." in a small voice.

If a tomboyish girl is her true nature, the current appearances of a graceful Miko Princess is an act.

She must have it tough.

"...... Being Miko Princess must be tough, huh?"

"Fufufu. That is right."

It seems she heard the words I unconsciously muttered.

Miko Princess agrees with a laugh.

"Right, right. We have to present the reward to Takumi-sama."

"Ah, that! In that case, wouldn't you teach us the way of using water magic?"

Talking about the reward, I asked about what was on my mind.

Right. I want to learn water magic.

Mermaids living underwater would know a thing or two about water magic, right?

"Water magic, is it? Certainly, most of the Mermaids can use it, but......"

"We possess the Water Magic skill, but I'm troubled because I can't use it well. The children have never used magic before......"

In fact, when we moved through the sea, I tried using water magic, but it didn't go well.

I tried shooting a low-level Water Ball, but it had no power. Splurt, just about a fistful of water spurted out.

Because I myself can't use it, I am not able to teach it to Allen and Elena.

"If that is the case, there is no problem. I will introduce you to a user who excels at teaching! However, the reward is separate."

"No, just teaching us is enough."

Even though I solved their problem, I just put the ship into the《Infinite Storage》.
