Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"White Star".

Shark Star, wielding a trident, shouted at him.

Little White Star on the bed turned his head and was overjoyed to see Shark Star: "Brother?!"

Although she is only 11 years old this year, she is already quite large. Her slightly chubby face is just beginning to develop, but you can already see some signs of her stunning beauty.

In Ron's clear perception of the world, with his eyes closed, he could feel her pure and flawless aura, purer than anyone he had ever met before.

Poseidon, the sea god, and the mermaid princess...?

"Brother, who is this...?"

Little White Star noticed Ron next to Shark Star and looked at him with curiosity.

"Shirahoshi, this is Lord Ron."

Shark Star introduced himself to White Star with a smile.

Eleven-year-old Shirahoshi looked curiously at Ron, who was dressed in black, with a black sword at his waist and his eyes closed: "Ron... sir?"

"Nice to meet you, Princess Shirahoshi."

Ron held out his hand to her.

Little White Star looked at him and his outstretched hand, and a happy, innocent smile appeared on her face.

She stretched out her fair and delicate fingers and touched his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Ron."

147, The Little Mermaid, Shirahoshi (two-in-one)

Ron separated his hand from her outstretched index finger.

Little White Star opened her big, round eyes and looked at him with curiosity and innocence, asking, "Lord Ron... are you human?"

Ron, with his eyes closed, nodded at her and smiled, giving a soft "hmm."

Shark Star, standing beside Bai Xing, crossed his arms and said, "Lord Ron is an extremely powerful human expert and a distinguished guest of our Dragon Palace. He has come here for your sake, Bai Xing, so you must not be impolite."

"You came... because of my matter?"

Little White Star blinked, looking somewhat confused and extremely cute: "Brother... what is it?"

"It's that Vander Decken who threatened you. Lord Ron has already promised my father to help capture him."

Upon hearing his words, Xiaobaixing's eyes widened slightly.

Shark Star looked at Ron: "Lord Ron, can you find any clues here?"

Ron didn't answer him, but instead turned to Shirahoshi in front of him and said:

"Princess Shirahoshi, would you like to go for a walk?"

"Hey?"

Little White Star was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with surprise and excitement: "Really...can we go out?"

"of course."

"But... if we go out, weapons will still fly at us..."

A hint of fear appeared on her face.

The shark next to her, named Mecaro, also let out a "quack quack" sound.

"White Star".

Shark Star said to her seriously, "Show some courage as royalty. Since Lord Ron has said that..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp whistling sound of weapons cutting through the air came from outside the gate.

"Giggle!"

Mecaro cried out in alarm.

Like a frightened bird, Shirahoshi immediately buried her head in the blanket, her large tail trembling.

"Here we go again?!"

Shark Star turned his head, gripped the trident in his hand, and gritted his teeth in hatred.

A huge axe flew in through the open door and headed straight for Shirahoshi on the bed.

Whoosh!

Before Shark Star could react.

With his eyes closed, Ron vanished from his spot and reappeared in mid-air, raising a punch to deliver a blow.

Bang.

He then smashed the giant axe, which was larger than a person, into pieces in mid-air.

It was described casually and effortlessly.

After the initial shock, Shark Star felt increasingly surprised and excited.

He immediately said to Bai Xing, who was huddled under the covers trembling, "Bai Xing, don't be afraid, everything is alright now."

Hear his words.

Princess Shirahoshi, who had buried her head in the blanket, peeked out and looked out with wet eyes.

Lord Ron was standing with his back to her on her dining table, surrounded by scattered pieces of axe.

"Giggle...giggle giggle giggle!"

Shark Mecaro excitedly said something to Shirahoshi.

Little White Star understood its words and asked in a daze, "Mecaro, you mean... Lord Ron shattered that flying weapon... and saved me?"

Giggle!

Shark Mecaro nodded vigorously.

Little White Star wiped away the glistening tears from the corner of her eye, and looked at Ron again with a deep sense of gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you... Lord Ron."

"It's too early to say thank you. Let's wait until we catch the murderer."

Ron turned to her and smiled, "Come on, let's go for a walk outside and catch that guy while we're at it."

Little White Star stared at him blankly, then nodded subconsciously:

"Yes, Lord Ron..."

……

Ron led Shirahoshi away from the Hard Shell Tower, out of the Dragon Palace, and headed towards Fishman Island below.

Nearly six years later, Shirahoshi once again saw the scenery of Fishman Island and also came to the Sea Forest she had been longing for.

Under the sunlight of the Sea Forest, Shirahoshi came to the grave of Otohime, who was buried in the Sea Forest, and paid tribute to her deceased mother at the end of the fifth year after Otohime's death.

Because of Van der Deiken, she had been staying inside the hard-shell tower and hadn't even been able to attend her mother's funeral. She had a lot to say to her.

Neither Shark Mecaro nor Ron bothered her.

About an hour later.

With red eyes, Bai Xing came to Ron and Mecaro's side.

"Is it okay?"

"Ah."

Eleven-year-old Shirahoshi wiped away her wet eyes and gave Ron, who was standing on Mecaro's head, an incredibly happy smile: "Today is the happiest day I've had in years. Thank you... Lord Ron."

Ron sat down on top of Mecaro: "Let's go then."

"Ah."

Princess Shirahoshi, who wasn't yet that big, sat down on Mecaro, one in front of the other, with Ron.

Mecaro wagged its tail and swam toward Fishman Street as Ron had instructed.

Ron sat atop Mecaro's head, reached into the void and retrieved the Endless Wine Jar, pouring it into his mouth.

"Lord Ron... are you blind?"

"Yes, for some reason, it is indeed not visible right now."

"So pitiful... Waaah, Lord Ron is so pitiful..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xing's lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes again, saddened that Ron was blind.

Ron was both amused and exasperated: "Don't cry. Although it's invisible to the naked eye, it doesn't affect my movements at all. Besides, it might recover in the future."

"Is...is that so?"

Bai Xing wiped away her tears.

"Ah."
