Chapter 141: The City Forgotten by Time, Part 3

“Tsk. A female beastfolk? Which eccentric brought that in here? This is a VIP area!”

“Ooh... This bathing suit was made to order, and now it’s unclean! Do you know how much it cost me?! I demand compensation! You there—her owners! I’ll sue!”

Lynne and Sirene continued to float in the water, calmly observing their surroundings. As much as the abuse didn’t seem to bother them, I doubted it would stop anytime soon.

“I’m sorry, my lady. It appears my being with you has stirred up something unpleasant. I’ll get out of the water and wait somewhere out of sight.”

“Wait a moment, Sirene. I’m going to have a word with those people. They’re being ridiculous.”

“No, my lady. It’s best not to encourage unnecessary trouble while we’re in a foreign land. If staying quiet and unseen is enough to settle the matter, then that’s what I’ll do. Rather, I should apologize. As soon as we arrived, I vaguely suspected that something like this might happen. I shouldn’t have let my guard down; I was having so much fun that I got carried away.”

“Sirene...?”

“Please forgive me for causing a disturbance. I’ll wait outside, so don’t mind me.”

To shouts and jeers, Sirene resolutely climbed out of the water and made toward the changing rooms. Before she could get very far, however, Rolo grabbed her arm from where he was still seated.

“Sirene, could you wait here?” he asked. “Just for a little bit.”

“Rolo?”

“I don’t think you need to leave. We can work this out.” Rolo slowly rose to his feet and took in the faces of those cursing at Sirene from a distance. “The people here really hate beastfolk,” he muttered under his breath. “Yet there’s something here they hate even more. They don’t seem to have noticed. Is it because I’m so short...?”

He moved to the edge of the man-made lake and peered into the water, whispering something. (“I’m sorry to bother you while you’re enjoying a nice swim. Could you lend me your strength for a moment?”)

I wondered if Rolo was okay. He appeared to be talking to himself, but then I saw something rise from the bottom of the lake.

“Fish...?”

Not just a few but a whole school of them came up to the surface—a plethora of sizes, shapes, and colors. No sooner had those who noticed them begun to stir than the fish shot up into the air, creating an enormous pillar of water. Shrieks and screams abounded.

“What was—?!”

“Eek!”

“What’s happening?!”

By my estimate, hundreds of fish—maybe even a thousand—had leaped out of the water. Some sported rare colors and patterns that fascinated me, and their scales glittered in the sunlight with the tremendous spray they’d produced. It made for a magnificent spectacle.

The fish seemed to hang in the air, basking in the sun and flaunting their beautiful scales, before plunging back into the water with a deafening crash. They didn’t do anything else—in fact, they returned to the bottom of the lake as quickly as they’d appeared—but the sheer intensity with which they’d acted made it a sight to behold.
