“Hey, Doc! Over here!”

There was a small river on the edge of Souen’s village, an important source of fresh water that also irrigated the fields. It fed out into the ocean, so it really was a river.

And there was someone poking their head out of the water.

“Lulala?!”

“Hehe. I missed you! The human realm is really far,” said Lulala, the water canal diva. She cracked her neck and put her hands on the riverbank, lifting herself so that her torso was out of the water.

“Are you the one Skadi sent on her errand, Lulala?”

“Ahaha, no! I just tagged along. I wanted to see Dr. Glenn and Sapphee so badly,” Lulala said, smiling brightly.

But there were tears in her eyes. Glenn thought for a moment that she was moved by seeing him, but that wasn’t it. Her eyes were tearing up to discharge the salt content of the seawater she’d just swallowed. The tears were proof that she’d swum all the way to this island.

“Did you cross the ocean, Lulala?”

Lulala laughed, waving her hand and splashing it in the water. “No, no. I only swam here from, what is it called, Heian? It was easier to just swim that distance. I relaxed on a boat all the way to Heian.”

“Oh, but you were born in the ocean, right?”

“That’s right. The person I came with should be here any moment—oh, there she is.”

They had a good view of Souen’s village from where they stood, which let them spy the dark figure climbing the mountain road. Her black hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and her body was patchworked together. It was Skadi’s bodyguard, Kunai Zenow.

“Sorry I’m late—there was no way I could move faster than a mermaid who can swim upstream in a river.”

“Kunai. Can it be that Skadi sent—”

“Me,” Kunai said, letting out a deep sigh. She was undead and wouldn’t tire from exhaustion, so she’d probably just let that breath out to serve as punctuation. She carried a knapsack on her back. So the two of them had come from Lindworm together?

“Didn’t you hear from Illy that we were coming?”

“I think she knew, but she tricked us—”

“Hmm… She does like practical jokes,” Kunai said, putting down her bag and rotating her shoulder.

Glenn remembered then that Kunai was originally from the east. She was a flesh golem that had been made by patching together parts of the dead bodies of humans. So that was what Skadi had meant by “someone well acquainted with the east.”

“Don’t worry, we came to help you,” Lulala said.

“I don’t have very many good memories in the east, but I won’t disobey the Draconess’ orders. I’ll do whatever I can,” Kunai explained. She harbored a hatred for the eastern doctor who created her, but her loyalty to the Draconess was stronger than that hatred.

“Just walking through the town was terrible! Everyone stopped and stared at me, and they were whispering things!”

“I’m sorry… I’ve heard there used to be mermaids here long ago, but now nearly all of them have moved to the west.
