'Why did all the sea life suddenly disappear?　This shouldn't be happening.'

"Some country has broken the rules of engagement between nations and is poaching?

It's not true. It's not possible for a single living creature to disappear without a single insect, crab or shellfish being killed by human hands alone.

"So, it's the sea spirit's fault?

'It's the only way I can think of it!'

"What have we done?

''No, I don't think so. On the contrary, he saved himself from the danger of no one worshipping him because of his terrible Dobbs by erecting statues with armor on them in various places. No matter how many spirits you are, you should be so grateful.''

'That's right. Even statues aren't free!

"I'm praying to the church and I'm giving a lot of money!

"Spiritual negligence!　This!'

'Yes!　'It's the Spirit's fault!'

''In this case, let's worship our new spirit as the guardian deity of the Central Sea.

"This time I want a beautiful spirit.

'That's fine, but let's ask the church what kind of beauty we should have.

''Then the sea spirit is fired now!　I mean, we're going to worship a new spirit.

'''I agree!'''

"...Old man, that letter, gori with the fun stuff in it?

'Is it fun in a way?　I've heard some fresh opinions... or maybe it's just that the leaders of the country are like this...

"I wish Gori would see this. Future generations will ask, 'Why was this idiot a politician? This is the goli. This is what gori is like if you don't have a shot.

It's like praying for rain for a lack of rain.

It's gory.

I began to receive regular letters from Mr. Tarrant, who had learned that I was the Grand Chief of the 'Union of Southwest Tribes'.

He is an excellent and perceptive merchant, so he is probably taking into consideration my slow information gathering speed in the frontier.　　

I think he was also thanking me for offering various products at a reasonable price.

The contents of the letter were the result of a meeting of leaders from various countries to discuss what to do about the dying central sea, where all living things had disappeared.

The conclusions of the letter were: 'The negligence of the sea spirits', 'You're an ungrateful man for hiding your dubiousness', and 'You're fired already!' He said, 'I'll ask the church to worship a new spirit.

I don't know what to think about that as a politician, but come to think of it, there is no way he can do anything about the dying sea, with a single insect and a single seaweed disappearing because he is the king.

If he is held accountable, his support base will be shaken, so the sea spirit......Urilynn is to blame.

I hid the fact that you're a dobus and spent a lot of money to build statues in armor here and there to worship you, and you're fired for being ungrateful!

He came to the conclusion that he would have the church prepare a new genie for him.

When I finished reading the letter, I just couldn't keep my open mouth shut.

'Are you going to report this to Urilyn?

You have to do it, Gori.

Of course....

Urilynn was right to be angry, but it was too much of an argument, and I couldn't stand to be there again.

In fact, when I told her the letter, which was eating ice cream in the living room, her hands stopped and her body pulled and shivered.

'I've kept that sea for over eight thousand years, and this is how you treat me!　The other spirits?　There's no such thing!

Urilyn cursed the humans in a foul language that she would never normally utter.

'I don't understand the idea of a new spirit in a church.

When the church asks a new spirit to 'keep the sea. Bring back the creatures that have disappeared', is that a wish that comes true if the church asks the new spirits to 'Keep the oceans.

In the first place, the church should be able to communicate with the spirits.......no one but me should be able to do that.......

I didn't know, because I only knew that the church was in the business of banking, so I didn't understand.

'Lord Tallow, the church is on a mission to thank and pray to the God who gives us divine coins.

Where's the genie?　Maybe it doesn't matter?

That was the case at first, but then the sect that had churches along the coast began to believe in the Spirit of the Sea as well. They put up statues in various places along the coast and collected donations for the maintenance of the statues and the construction of new ones... It's a business, frankly.

So in order to expand the size of the church, you started believing in spirits on your own as well?

''Master Mew, how is it possible for you to make other spirits the guardians of the sea?''

I wish I could say I could.

You know what... that's...

You take the liberty of ditching the spirit and making it the new guardian god of the Central Sea.

That means Urilyn is fired and the statue is changed, right?

Urilyn, does the Church have personnel authority, or rather, spiritual authority?

'It's not true. It's just a bunch of god-worshipping people who give God's coin to humans.

Both Urilyn and Marilyn are guarding the sea of their own volition, so how can there be any such thing as being appointed by the church?

'So the new spirits are non-existent?　A figment of your imagination?

They're delusional!

He must have designed it himself.

The church has decided to stay on its own....

But is there any benefit to such a spirit?

Worshiping such things won't revive the sea, will it?

No way. The Central Sea will be closed down as soon as Urilyn is gone.

'Oh, shit!　It's a scam!

Aisha is right, and the only people who will make money from this decision are the churches.

They can use the donations to fund a new statue.

'In short, it doesn't mean anything, does it?

I'm not so sure about that.

Will the new statue help the economy a bit?

Maybe we can lessen the damage of losing the ocean than doing nothing.

Those who believe in it will be saved.......no way.

It's not just a postponement of the problem, it's a deception.

''I've run out of affection!　Mr. Tallow!

Yes!

Urilyn nominated me in an unusually strong tone.

''It's the Far South Sea, but there's still room to expand!　I've ordered the mobile cities on the south coast to move, and Mr. Tullow, please remove the sand.

Yes.....

I couldn't say no, as it was the wish of the spirits, so I spent the next day looking at the map and concentrating on exposing the bottom of the ocean, which was buried in the sand.

Putting the sand into the 'trash can' and gaining a small amount of eidolcs.

I could do this alone, so Larabell and the others turned to the sand beast hunters.

''What is the sand in the 'trash can' really used for?'''

I dutifully moved the sand out of the way, wondering if there was a construction rush in some other world.

Indeed, the remains of the sea existed on the south side of the Far South Sea.

I repeatedly put the sand into the 'trash can' while issuing movement orders in the name of Golimatcho to the mobile city that was stopping at the place where the sand was to be removed.

''Speaking of which, what do you plan to do with the water you're going to put into the ocean you spread out?

'I am the spirit of the sea. I have regained my power as a result of the faith of many desert elves. The waters of the sea make it easier for me to travel.

Well....

In other words, the Central Sea is determined to become just a slightly salty wilderness in a few days.

The water from the sea that was supposed to be almost gone through evaporation has moved here, and the remains of the Central Sea will be turned into a rocky desert, where there is no rock salt to be extracted and no agriculture due to salt damage.

There was no way for me to stop it, or rather, there was nothing I could do about it since it was the fault of the people living on the Central Sea coast who had angered the spirits.

As long as I had made an enemy of Spirit-sama, they had no choice but to reap the rewards.

Ignorance really is a scary thing.

''It's over.''

Tomorrow, we'll be in the Polar South Sea. Mr. Tallow, I'm glad to see the ocean spread out.

Yes, sir.

I couldn't say anything to Urylin, who was quietly snapping at the humans, and by the next day the Polar South Sea had expanded into a giant that took up 30% of the Great Desert.

"One thing I've learned is that the poles are nothing more than a big island.

With the expanse of the Polar South Sea, it turns out that where the poles are located is only a slightly larger island.

It's not extremely cold like the Earth's South Pole, it's very hot, but the ocean seems to have eased up a bit, along with the cold at night.

The ocean is great!

The sea is the mother of all life.

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "　Long live the genie!

The desert elves rejoiced at the expansion of the sea, and many desert elves began to make pilgrimages to the temples in Gorisan Town where the two great spirits of Marilyn and Urilyn were worshipped.

Tourism was added to the industry of Gori-san Town, and it gradually became a major part of the town's industry.
