"That bad mermaid, was she originally so beautiful?"
Seeing Ji Ji walking out of the hall, Crab Ji outside opened her mouth slightly and was stunned for a while.
After her rival completed the ceremony of succeeding to the throne of the country, he changed so much from his original appearance that if he hadn't known the situation in advance, there would be no way to tell that he was the same person.
The original Giji looked like an evil sea succubus, with a gloomy and violent feeling all over her body.
But now the tall figure walking out of the Munakata Temple is nothing but noble, ethereal and holy——
The pair of small horns on her head became clear and pale red, like gems or corals.
The originally boring long hair became soft and bright, shining with a deep blue light, as delicate as flowing sea water, and like a bunch of ribbons, gently fluttering behind her, floating with her steps, Each hair strand carries a unique aquatic fragrance mixed with sea breeze, humid air and sea salt.
The deformed mouth and fangs also disappeared, replaced by red lips and white teeth.
Dressed in colorful clothes, the exposed skin is no longer gray, but white. Her hands are still webbed, but there are a pair of naked legs under her skirt.
The legs are slender and tight, with two tight and soft lines extending from the waist to the ankles.
Although it has grown legs, it still has a fish tail.
The tail is no longer as thick as before, and has become much slender. It is said to be a fish tail, but in fact it is more like the dragon-like tail of her mother, Zhiji Ji.
The long tail dragged on the ground from behind her, and the second half was stuck to the floor tiles of the shrine, swaying lazily, like a picture of the unfolding ocean, and every scale on it was like a carefully polished shell. Shining like pearls, these scales are not simply blue, but show various shades of colorful colors as the light and angle change.
[Ghost story name: Otohime]
[Classification: Class B]
It’s the same change as Crab Princess becoming the leader of the country.
After Isohime came to power, she also had the strength of Aragami, and her original race also changed.
Otohime.
In Japanese legends, it is specifically used to refer to the princess in the Dragon Palace.
The daughter of the sea, a gorgeous mermaid, a dragon princess with the blood of a dragon, this is probably the original face of Ji Ji.
"Woo..."
Not only Kamiya and Crabhime were marveling at Ishime's change, but the whale that had just been called out was also stunned.
The little whale, who has his own unique understanding of appearance, really can't accept the horror in front of him.
What happened when this sister entered that huge palace?
She didn't look so scary in the first place!
Sensing the fear of the transformed whale, Kamiyakawa patted his little head and told him to go back first.
The little whale felt like he had been granted amnesty, and he turned around and disappeared without a trace.
Kamiyagawa put the Taki Toki Meizune statue on the ground into the [Mirage Bag], and then walked up to Ishime: "Congratulations, it seems that you are now the queen of the sea country."
"Thank you, Lord Kamiya."
Isohime holds her scepter and salutes to Kamiya River.
Her voice was no longer hoarse and ugly, but just like when she sang, it was like a clear breeze blowing on her face, with a little bit of poetry and warmth.
Isohime glanced at Kamiya again, with some complicated emotions in her eyes.
"But I'm sorry, it seems I failed."
"What's the meaning?"
Kamiyakawa was puzzled.
Crab Princess's current situation, whether it's her gorgeous transformation or the awakening of her divine bloodline, is the same as Crab Princess last time.
What does it mean to seem to have failed?
Kamiya had a bad feeling in his heart, maybe the ending of the second episode was not so good.
"I may not be able to maintain this state for too long. The ocean has not fully recognized me because I still have the power of the red tide. Before I completely lose my identity as the leader of the country, is there one thing I can do? Rather than letting this power escape from my body It would be better if the days pass by in vain..."
Isohime continued to explain, her amber eyes dull, then she held the scepter and walked towards the direction of Otsushima next to the shrine.
Boom.
The luxurious scepter struck the ground bluntly.
The calm water began to surge, and Ji Ji swung her powerful tail and dived into the sea. In an instant, she stood on the bright tide again. Her tail rose and fell on the tide, forming a wonderful curve with the waves.
She started singing.
Singing like I don’t know how many times before.
She has only one wish from beginning to end——
I hope that the ocean can respond to the mermaid clan, that the curse imprinted on the clan by the Red Tide can be lifted, and that the clan can break away from the status of fallen sirens and become proud sharks again.
Ji Ji's singing is ethereal and graceful, like soft and delicate silk swirling and spinning, and distant stars moaning and falling.
The sea is like a tamed domestic animal in her song.
The power of the tide surges, and there is a faint damp and salty smell in the coldness. This invisible invisible force, under the chant of the Queen of the New Sea Kingdom, rushed towards Otsu Island like a tide, rushing towards the mermaid tribe who had rushed out of the jungle and stood on the shore eagerly waiting.
Those ugly sirens, their deformed scales fell off, and their deformed facial features and skin color began to change.
A magnificent new life.
After transformation, the mermaids have long, silky hair, bright eyes, and new scales of different colors, including silver, gold, and deep purple, shaped like delicate jewelry. Their heavy and dirty bones have turned into light and delicate, and their body lines are elegant, like works of art.
Male mermaids are strong and strong, while female mermaids are charming.
Although it is not as noble and graceful as the queen of the ocean, Jiji.
But it’s already right.
Only when she looks like this can she be considered a mermaid!
Kamiya is happy to see the mermaid family change. Anyway, this should be Isohime's long-term wish.
Like Crab Princess last time, the first thing that Crab Princess did after becoming the leader of the country was to protect her people.
But aren’t all the changes now moving in a good direction?
What does Ji Ji's sentence "I seem to have failed" mean?
Just when this ethnic transformation was coming to an end, Kamiya finally noticed something was wrong, and the originally tame waves became turbulent without warning.
As Giji was rising and falling in the waves, the sapphire on the top of the scepter in her hand became dim, blood suddenly appeared on her body, and there was a little pain in her singing.
The white waves surrounding her body rolled like knives and cut her skin and scales.
"Wait a minute, Ishime! Stop it!"
Kamiyagawa tied up the [Drown Girl’s Top Heart Hair] and dived into the water.
At this moment, the sun finally rises above the sea country.
But Ji Ji's singing slowly dissipated in the soft sunlight, and she felt that her body was slowly turning into illusory foam, blending with the sea.
Wow!
The blue waves rolled.
Kamiya hugged Ishime in the surging tide and headed back upstream to Otsushima.
"Why is this happening?"
He saw shocking wounds on Ji Ji's body. The richly colored clothes and the colorful scales were all torn to pieces.
"Ocean does not recognize me as the leader of the country."
Isohime said the same thing as before.
"Did you just know what the result would be of singing like this to lift the curse on the mermaid clan?"
"My people... Lord Kamiya, I am not a good leader, but I have to protect them."
"do not talk."
Kamiya stepped onto the beach, and the Ishime in his arms had become as illusory as bubbles.
Isohime seems to be different from Crabhime.
After Crab Princess became the leader of the country, she was obviously recognized by the ocean, so she was able to freely mobilize the power of the ocean.
Even if he uses the power of the scepter and turns himself into a strange light to protect Crab Island, he will still be able to escape freely in the future.
They even made an agreement with Kamiya that if they couldn't hold Crab Island in the future, they would leave the Sea Country together.
But there is a red tide left on Jiji's body, which is a mark that most likely comes from the underworld.
Haiguo does not recognize her.
Mobilizing the power of the sea will backfire on her.
Kamiya's expression was calm, and he gently put down Isohime in his arms.
The surrounding sharks gathered around, but Isohime raised her hand to stop them, signaling them not to come forward: "Let me have a talk with Kamiya-sama."
"You shouldn't do this. To protect your people, we can find other ways."
"The ocean is repelling me, and my strength is draining very quickly... But my people can't wait any longer. They don't have time to wait for the next queen. I'm sorry, Lord Kamiya. I failed in your kindness and failed to be like you." Become the leader of the country as you wish."
"I'm saying you shouldn't sacrifice yourself."
Kamiyagawa could no longer feel Isohime's vitality, and the ocean's backlash against her was much greater than imagined.
Under the premise that the power of the ocean cannot be fully mobilized, it is difficult to say whether what Ji Ji did just now was to eliminate the underworld mark on the people of the tribe, or whether it was to forcefully mobilize their curse to attach to her body and bear it on her behalf.
"How gentle, my master."
Isohime raised her hand, and her white palm was like a phantom, going straight through Kamiyakawa's chest:
"What Crab Girl said is right, I am a bad mermaid. I think I am guilty. I led people to attack Crab Island in order to compete for the position of the king, and now I have failed to live up to your goodwill."
"Can I please ask you? My people no longer have to bear the curse. They can leave Shicun Island and the Sea Country. I know you have an agreement with the Crab Clan. If you want to take the Crab Clan away one day in the future, can you Can’t we take the mermaids with us too?”
"My people can bear my sins, atone for you, do anything. But I beg you, let them...live."
Kamiyagawa: "Whatever you do is okay? Isohime, you just leave them to me like this? Do you trust me so much? Don't abandon them."
"There is a very familiar smell about you. From the moment I saw you until now, I actually have a feeling. I have always believed that you are here to save us."
Isogee's voice also became unreal.
In the end, there was only bubbles left in Kamiya's hands, reflecting the sunlight, and then shattered, leaving nothing behind.
…
Is the mermaid princess destined to become a bubble?
Ji Ji is not a recognized support object at all?
What kind of ending is this?
Will time go back here?
But what should we do next time?
The moody ocean once again hid its fierce side and regained its calm.
Kamiya sat on the beach, some distance away from the grieving mermaids, and only Crab Princess sat quietly beside him.
Looking up, the sun is shining brightly.
In a daze, he remembered what Ji Ji said just now——
"There is a very familiar smell about you. From the moment I saw you, until now, I have a feeling. I have always believed that you are here to save us."
There is an inexplicable familiarity to these words.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Mu Xiaji said something similar last week——
"I think we can be good friends. You have a very friendly atmosphere."
Last time Kamiya thought that the so-called "friendly taste" refers to the smell of Takamagahara.
But both Munakata mentioned this emphatically, as well as the ship girl Anzaimaru who carried the third Munakata material. If it was really attracted to me, would it also be because of this?
"Crab Girl, what do I smell like?"
Kamiyagawa caught this moment of inspiration and turned his head to look at the silent Crab Princess next to him.
"Ah...it just smells very friendly."
"What does Takamagahara Shrine smell like?"
"I don't know. If I have to say it..." Crabhime lowered her voice and lowered her head awkwardly, "If you get close like this and smell it, you will feel at ease. So bad...well, so Crabhime... Then I will say I believe you."
"Is this what you are talking about?"
Kamiyakawa finally thought of something.
Previously, I had preconceptions that the so-called friendly aura only refers to the aura of Takamagahara.
But now think about it, Isohime and Crabhime, as Munakata, are the direct descendants of the three ocean goddesses, and there is a prop in their bodies that attracts them far more than Takamagahara!
What Kamiya took out was a fragment of the sword blade.
It was about forty centimeters long. The blade was a little dull, but the edge was smooth.
This is a fragment of the sacred weapon Ame-no-Ohahara.
Got it from Gorozaemon Yamamoto at the Fish Inn.
You know, the three goddesses Munakata and the others were essentially born from the fragments of Ame no Oubari!
"Eh? That's the smell!"
Crab Ji jumped up.
Her final exclamation, although audible, was somewhat muffled.
Because Kamiya once again felt the strange tidal rhythm.
It was soothing at first, and the sound of the tide lapping rhythmically on the beach was like a serenade.
Then the gentle sound became stronger for no reason. In the sight, I seemed to see the dark red sea water, rolling up the huge waves as high as the city wall and rushing in. The formation was like thousands of galloping horses charging into the battle, noisy, shouting, desperately washed up on the beach.
The wave of madness is filled with shuddering terror and inscrutable mystery.
The feeling of ebb and flow receded, and the Kamiya River returned to the Okatsushima beach fifteen days ago.
At this time, the sea water was dark red and turbid, and the red tide had not yet come.
A full moon was hanging in the dark sky.
…
"The third statue that was stuffed into the [Mirage Bag] has disappeared. It may have returned to the Anzhai Maru."
Kamiyagawa checked the status of his props, and everything looked like it had just come to Haiguo.
Nothing gained from the Sea Kingdom was preserved.
There is no doubt that the second program was obviously a failure.
This made Kamitani extremely upset.
But there wasn't much time for him to complain, because the third week had already begun.
He had to have a plan and calm down.
"Things can only be done three times."
In the second week, we finally got some useful information.
For example, the whereabouts of the third clan statue, or the fragments of the Heavenly Tail Feathers might play some special role in the Sea Kingdom.
"The regional task is for me to support a country leader, but I can't help this side, and I can't help that side." Kamiya felt angry at the thought of two failures.
Neither of the two Munakata who took office as kings could break the situation, and the results for themselves were not very good either.
One is restricted from freedom, and the other is gone.
Now simply change your mind.
Still supporting?
I already know where the third Munakata is, so help me!
I can't bear it anymore. Those two girls who are the leaders of the Sea Kingdom are worthy of being in the movie, but my family, Hua Whale, is not?
Grab the physical image of Mune directly on the Anzhai Maru!
The country prospered and became the whale king!
Kamiyagawa finally understood that maybe a third party force was the most suitable to become the new king.
At least Hua Whale will not sacrifice himself after taking office.
As for the Crab Tribe and Mermaid Tribe, this week we will find ways to preserve them based on new information.
“It would be best if this time we can actually deal with the red tide.”
In the first eye, I am the witness, and in the second eye, I am the protector.
Three weeks now...
Sorry, I won’t play with you anymore, I’ll serve it directly to the table!
On the night of the third reincarnation in the sea country, Kamiyagawa had a new thought——
Tonight, the forces of Kamiya will attack as contenders for the leadership of the Kingdom of the Sea.
"Speaking of which, supporting the shikigami under me should be considered support, right? I'm not pretending to be someone else's supreme emperor." (End of Chapter)
