Chapter 129

「Allen also has~ Blue one~」

「Elena too~ Elena’s is yellow~」

「Ah! Wait――」

I wasn’t able to stop Allen and Elena who took out their pearls from their item bags. They were a golf ball sized pearls the two liked and picked when we were shown to the dumping place of the Mermaid Village by Mirensan.

「「「……!!」」」

「Ah~……」

Seeing that, Matthias-san and others completely froze.

「「Huhh~?」」

「…… Allen, Elena. Wooould you please put that in your bags at once?」

「「This, no good~?」」

「It’s not bad, but everyone is startled. Therefore, let’s hide it for a moment, okay?」

「「U~n? Got it~」」

「Good children. Allen and Elenda『Don’t have them』okay?」

「「Don’t have them!」」

「「「No, no, no!」」」

「How about, you did not see any――」

「「「That wouldn’t be possible, right!!!」」」

「That won’t work, huh……」

While the Matthias-san and others were frozen, I told the children to hide the pearls in their bags and thought of making it seem as they saw an illusion… but, that wasn’t possible, huh. Bad luck.

「Tak.u.mi-kun! What’s with that out of the common sense sized pearl! Moreover, it’s blue! And a yellow one too!? What’s going on!?」

「It was a gift」

「A, a gift!? Such outrageous article!?」

When I answered Matthias-san honestly, “I don’t believe you” expression floated on his face.

I also thought so when I asked for these pearls, but they told me that they are worthless to the Merfolk after all~

「Excellent quality, different colors, and even the size, huh…… ah~ I get it now. What Wald was talking about was this, I see~」

「Eh……?」

Wald-sama? Just what did Wald-sama tell Matthias-san?

「Well you see, I was cautioned by Wald that “Be careful of the more than unexpected mess that will go in unexpected direction”. I couldn’t imagine what he meant, but now…… he meant something like this, I can now consent」

「…………」

Ehhhhh—!

Wald-sama, what an unfair thing to say~ Moreover, Matthias-san…… he’s consenting to it……

「I did not think such outrageous articles like that would come out. I can’t precisely calculate the worth of those pearls」

Haa…… as I thought, pearls of that size have such unthinkable value~

If he found out how many of them I have…… that would be bad, right? I definitely won’t let him find out how many of those pearls I have. But, you see~……――

「Pearls of this size should be occasionally dropped by Big Sh.e.l.ls, but…… are they that valuable?」

「Indeed, as Tak.u.mi-kun says, there are doc.u.ments that state “Huge pearls can be obtained from Big Sh.e.l.ls”. However, I have never actually heard of someone obtaining a pearl from Big Sh.e.l.l. Big Sh.e.l.ls are dwelling in the depths of the sea, so I have never seen Big Sh.e.l.l itself before!」

…… Come to think of it, Big Sh.e.l.ls dwell in the deep seas~ Since that’s the case, humans generally can’t visit those regions~

On the contrary, the chance to encounter Big Sh.e.l.ls are pretty high for Merfolk who reside in the depths of the sea~

「And yet! How could the children be in a possession of pearls like that!?」

「「Uniyu~?」」

「…… Is there a problem for them having it?」
