Chapter 75

"An earthquake?"

"The shaking when the labyrinth changes, right?"

Luuluu looked up with a slight sense of relief at Endelia's words, but then turned even paler and covered her mouth.

"The ground shaking is scary~ It feels like dizziness, and I feel so sick, Lady Yui, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

I hugged and stroked Luuluu's head, which looked so pained.

"Do mermaids also have a weakness for earthquakes?"

In response to Mimachi's question, Luuluu nodded while trembling.

Completely losing her strength, she sat on the ground and clung to my waist, looking pitiful, and I thought a bench would be nice.

"Doesn't the water sway much in the sea?"

"It feels like being caught in a current that you can't control, and because I'm a mermaid, it's impossible~"

I see.

"Put out the fire on the stalls using fire! Protect yourself before protecting your goods! If the soup spills, you'll get burned, move away!"

Lord Arjitt shouted at one of the stalls.

A person who had suddenly stood up in panic and was about to lift the soup pot froze at Lord Arjitt's voice and was pulled back to the ground by the people around them.

Another person, trembling, put out the fire and moved away.

"This level of shaking shouldn't cause a collapse. Wow, the park is glowing brightly."

Mimachi's voice was more puzzled by the people's reactions than the earthquake.

"Earthquakes are rare in this country."

"Oh, it looks like there are pillars around the labyrinth."

"Mimachi, can you see them?"

"I can't see them, but I can tell from the movement of the earth spirits."

The earthquake subsided as the light in the square faded.

The square, which should have been empty, now had benches, trees providing shade, and a few flowers in several places.

Except for where the plants were growing, the ground was covered with light yellow brick-like tiles... and the newly added earth pillars had instructions in reddish-brown text and pictures around them.

"Is it over?"

"I understand the benches and plants, but what are those earth pillars?"

Mimachi made a circle with her fingers near her eyes and stretched up.

"Far sight."

As she whispered, I could sense the magic power gathering in the circle made by her fingers.

It's like a telescope ability, right?

But it didn't seem to be a power from the spirits.

I think I would need to make a tube with both hands to use it.

"Far sight."

I looked through the tube I made with both hands and adjusted the focus by turning them.

I was moved to see that the vague image I had imagined was actually there.

It was a gacha machine the size of a vending machine.

There was a place to insert coins and turn, and a large retrieval slot.

"Lady Yui, you have the far sight skill?"

Luuluu, who was still clinging to my waist, looked up and asked, and Mimachi turned back with a "Huh?"

"Skill?"
