Chapter 18: Strategy Time

Planning is necessary to achieve something.  Planning is important because it constitutes 80% of the whole setup.

But Pinky said that the fishmen took over the mermaid country so there is nothing to be planned.

I do not know how they did it but they managed to use the sea serpents to besiege the mermaid country without being noticed. Without allowing them to counterattack, I’ll strike the country at once.

Yup, I think it’s pretty cool.

Pinky said that the mermaid country has a barrier that deters people and monsters alike from entering it but somehow, the fishmen passed through. Originally, I thought that they made a careless mistake on the barrier settings but when I looked at the downtrodden Pinky, I said that I am not sure at it.

[Log: Due to the effects of 【The Enlightened One】, bitterness was forcibly extinguished.]

In any case, perhaps the mermaids were complacent due to their confidence on the barrier. I have to deal with it calmly and be prepared at all times. But currently, when I something happens, I cannot do anything.

Even stock investments at FX, we should properly set a bottom line. There would be no regrets if you are prepared or not.

Even a lady who had a bottom line would not take enough damage that will kill her.

[Log: Due to the effects of 【The Enlightened One】, melancholy was forcibly extinguished.]

Well, because of the collapse of the Chinese debt bubble, I might have lost some stocks on FX. There might also be a possibility that it was all thrown away by some guy. Let’s just stop thinking about things I can do nothing about.

That said, let’s use the strategic time to prepare in advance!

In order to devise a strategy with Pinky, I relayed it using gestures. Of course, the minute details were not properly conveyed. But still, I desperately gestured to indicate the strategy. Go 【Persistent】!

[Log: Golem danced poorly.]

[Log: Small Mermaid’s MP has decreased by 5.]

What? My gesture was interpreted as a poor dance!?

[Log: Due to the effects of 【The Enlightened One】, agitation was forcibly extinguished.]

It seems that I shaved Pinky’s MP. This is not good. Let’s stop using gestures and find other means to convey the strategy.

If gestures are useless then let’s try a picture, an illustration. Using my fingers, I draw a picture in the ocean floor. The golem’s fingers were quite thick so it’s hard to draw the smaller details so inevitably, the picture got bigger.

I frantically draw an illustration in the ocean floor. Still, Pinky did not understand it. Well, clearly it’s not working. This is not a quiz show so I wish she will quickly understand the concept.

Do not forget to say it multiple times. Go 【The Persistent】!

Even if I’m bad at it, never giving up will show me the way. Even if I am not a teacher, the moment I’ll give up is the moment it all ends so I will never give up!

I will continue to draw a picture on the ocean floor.

[Log: Golem drew a bad picture.]

[Log: Small Mermaid got confused.]

What? Even my drawings were bad!?

[Log: Due to the effects of 【The Enlightened One】, agitation was forcibly extinguished.]

Reality is always harsh. It would be easy to just avert your eyes. However, it’s not good. I should move forward, little by little.

When I was still a human, I was not called a “Painter (lol)” for nothing. And it won’t change even after I become a golem. I also want an artistic sense!

Pinky POV

How should I say it? I thought of passing through the hidden passage towards the royal palace with doll-sama. But unfortunately, doll-sama could not fit inside.

Then doll-sama made gestures that are impossible to understand. What should I do? Doll-sama is now beside me wobbling, at loss at what to do with me.

What is it? A mysterious dance? He is wobbling in a swaying pattern. My mind began to get cloudy. I felt my mental power draining.

And then doll-sama drew something on the ocean floor with his fingers. It’s a big picture. At first, I was looking at it from the side but it was really big when I approached it so I tried to figure out its meaning.

Initially, something swelled from beneath the earth. Is it hatred? Perhaps this is that thing which is the wobbling earlier. So, what does this mean?

Next were the arrows. It seems that I should follow the arrow.

The arrows pointed into something round being encircled. Does hatred and the swellings became one?  To doll-sama, he can not only see the current mermaid country but also the hatred of the fallen mermaids inside.

Doll-sama continued to draw.

I do not know what to do. I can’t suppress this uneasy feeling. Mother, please don’t worry! I brought help!
