Chapter 26: Liberation

After driving all the fishmen away, Pinky and I entered the royal palace. I think it’s alright but just in case, I still kept Pinky hidden in her mantle.

Walking towards the royal palace, we encountered no one. Actually, we didn’t see anyone at all. Are they imprisoned somewhere? I guess I have to search for them randomly.

****

Ah, there they are. Frightened mermaids came out while waving a white flag. Every single one of them had injuries on their body. Those who came out first were the men and the elderly.

The mermaid who seems to be the oldest of them all spoke on their behalf. Just like a wizard, he had an admirable beard.

「I heed you, please stop Mighty One. The injured ones do not have anything. If you wanted something, we can do anything for you so please turn back. Right now, we don’t have the power to fight nor to escape.」

He is starting to get nervous. I started paying attention to him. Not only him, but all of the mermaids were getting nervous. Especially the man holding the flag, he is now trembling. Although the flag was underwater, I can still clearly make out the minute shakes on it. Calm down, calm down will ya! Even though I already knew that my voice can’t reach him, I still can’t help but to call out.

No matter what angle I saw it, I feel like I was doing something wrong. It’s as if I’m bullying the weak. I’m a little uncomfortable.

Every mermaid watched the situation’s development without taking their eyes off me.

I turned towards Pinky and instructed her to take off her mantle and talk. I’ll have her as a translator and tell the mermaids that I am not hostile. By now, communication with Pinky became easy with gestures. It all comes down to practice.

Pinky, as if waiting for this moment, flapped and took off her bag and mantle, revealing her figure.

「Grandpa! Is everybody shafe!?」

She bit her tongue. That Pinky, she always bit her tongue on important moments. I wonder if x will take the chance1?  Nah, they’re also characters. It’s better to have characters with quirks than those with none.

「Pri-princess!? We’re alright! But why is princess here!?」

Pinky approached the injured mermaid. The mermaids also rushed over to surround Pinky.

「I ran away from the country after being told by mother. While I was wandering out the sea seeking for help, I met doll-sama who was there. And then I asked him to help save the mermaid country. So doll-sama drove away the sea serpents and fishmen who enslaved the country!」

「How!? So, princess alone brought this doll here and saved us all!!」

「You’re wrong! It was doll-sama who helped you! I did not do anything.」

Pinky with tears in her eyes, talked with the mermaids who were similarly floating. I was completely out of the conversation. The sight was a little bit moving. It seems that we approaching the finale of the story. If this is a movie, the climax would be over and we’re entering the hard part.

「So, is mother and the citizens safe? What happened to the country?」

The old man listened, face gradually clouded. As I gazed upon the injured old man, I can’t help but wonder if it’ll be alright. The mermaid’s situation is probably more than what meets the eye.

「The queen is fine. But the second princess was taken away by the fishmen and was sold off to the humans. The other young and beautiful girls were also taken and sold the same way.」

「Su-such a thing…」

Pinky was greatly shocked. At the same time, I thought that in this world, slavery is a common occurrence; it gives me a complicated feeling. The old man also told Pinky the number of mermaids that was sold but personally, I felt it was quite a lot.

「As you can see, anyone who opposed the fishmen were harmed. There are even some who lost their lives. But even so, those who retaliated and died against the fishmen when they first attacked were numerous.」

The welcoming and touching happy end atmosphere before abruptly disappeared, replaced by everyone shedding tears. The air is a little bit heavy. Just like a statue, I stood there watching over the scene in silence.

The old man firmly wiped his tears and led us towards the area where the queen was confined.

Pinky is unusually fidgety and is not calming down so the old man hurries his step and led the way quicker, making Pinky chase after the departing him. The other mermaids were also frantically chasing. I, of course, also followed them. I’ll be lost if I don’t.

****

We arrived at a place away from the royal palace.

「Princess, the queen should waiting inside. Now then, please enter.」

As the old man said so, he twisted the key towards the jail where the queen is imprisoned, opening the door.

There, orange hair reminiscent of a sunset, a mermaid made its appearance. If Pinky would grow up, she would be as voluptuous as this mermaid. In all honesty, I was surprised when the door opened.

「Mother? Are you alright?」

As soon as the door opened, Pinky hurriedly rushed unto the queen. As it is, she jumped straight into the queen’s bosom. The queen’s breasts swayed and shook like cushion. I unconsciously engraved such an impressive scene into my heart.

[Log: Golem snapped the shutter of the heart. It recorded the swinging breasts of the Mermaid Queen.]

Eh, I only recorded a moving sight of parent and child though… What the, queen’s swaying breasts…? It’s not the family reunion but the breasts were the main theme!?

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

「Pi-pinky? Why are you here!?」

「Mother! Moother!!」

Pinky is crying while being buried inside the queen’s chest. It looks soft, it might feel good. Thanks to her breasts’ softness, Pinky finally settled down after a while. Breasts are awesome.

「Mother, this doll-sama here saved us! Sea serpent and fishmen alike, doll-sama defeated them all and drove them away!」

「Really!? Certainly, the fishman general came here, he interrogated me about you.」

The queen’s eyes stared straight at me. It’s a bit embarrassing if you stare at me like that. Are you not shy? Although I do not know how she was interrogated, for now let’s just ride the flow and nod.

The queen slowly approached in front of me. She looked straight into my eyes and said.

「For saving our country, I gave my heartfelt thanks. On behalf of my people, I thank you.」

Afterwards, the queen deeply bowed her head. Then, with Pinky and the old man, every mermaid on the spot said their thanks in a very loud voice and then bowed their heads.
