Chapter 21: Infiltration

Pinky’s glare hurts.

Eh, what is it? Even though I look like a doll, I am still hurt by your glare. It was an unexpected situation for me too!

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

I confirmed the serpent’s dead body and looted the fishmen’s belongings but they’re not that much. I thought that because they can control a sea serpent, they are using a special items but it seems I was wrong.

So how can they control the sea serpents? Is it magic? A fishman who had a robust frame than the others was wearing a cloak. It might their captain. I passed it over to Pinky who draped it to her hide her body.

I did this so that if I walked with her, no one would think that I am trying to help the mermaids. It would be troublesome if they took the mermaids as hostages. I am not that stupid you know. Rather, I think I could acquire the title 【Cautious】 at any time you know.

Even if I stayed here like this, I still don’t have a choice but to start crossing the coral walls now. Pinky also used the mantle to hide herself and followed me walking towards the coral walls.

No matter how long we walked along the walls, there are no gates. Where are they?

So there isn’t a gate to pass through. I wonder why. The mermaid country sure is vast.

When I walked further, at the distance, a hill appeared. When I approached, a pile of fishmen was seen. There’s also a serpent’s corpse beside them.

Eh? Perhaps I am walking in circles? Or did I walk around?  I paused; I twist my arms and cracked my neck. What does this mean? Does this country have no gates? At this moment, Pinky called out.

「Um, doll-sama? Why don’t we enter the country instead of checking the outskirts?」

I really want to enter but there is no entrance. What should I do? For the time being, let’s just nod.

「Well then, let’s go! Although the barrier is activated as seen from the outside, you can pass through the entrance with me. The entrance is just above the center of the country.」

Somehow, the entrance was placed above. I see, indeed you can swim under the sea so they did not bother to make the entrance near the ground. Let’s just stop thinking things using common sense from now on.

I nod to relay comprehension. Now then, let’s go! To the mermaid country!

Hup! I jumped towards the entrance and flailed my limbs trying to swim. Even though I may not look like it, but I was a good swimmer when I was a human. I was nicknamed Yamada Elementary’s Frog due to how fast I am.

With a whooshing sound, I plummet down to the bottom of the ocean.

I can’t float? Is there a way to float for the metal me? So it was only a pointless action. What should I do? Is there another way?

For the time being, let’s try climbing the coral walls. Now, it is easier to go up. Even though it’s underneath the sea, the streets were beautiful. I wonder how they did it. As expected of a fantasy world.

「That place there where you can see glowing jellyfish enclosing something is the entrance. 」 Pinky said.

It’s quite far. I don’t know if I can jump to there. I do not feel I can reach it. If the barrier blocks intruders, they might try clinging into the barrier and climb up to the entrance.

Hup! I jumped upwards. I drew a parabola and fell into the mermaid country. I heard pinky shouting “dangerous!” behind but the dice has already been casted. The only way is forward!

A soft film like the surface of a bubble closes in. Is this the barrier? I wonder if it hurts when I smashed on it. When I thought about not smashing into the barrier, a spherical pale light materialized from my body.

What’s this? As I passed through the barrier, I landed on someone’s roof. The light also disappeared the moment I entered the barrier.

That was probably the 【No Touch】 skill in effect. I just imagined I won’t hit the barrier then I passed over it without touching.

Fufufu. As expected of me. I’m not a metal golem for nothing!

Pinky who is above the barrier has her eyes wide open. I feel you, I really feel you. She was surprised. I was also surprised you know. I waved my hands to urge Pinky to come.

At last, we entered the mermaid country. Then I will only drive the fishmen away.
