"Did you all come from this place?"
Swimming out from the golden shell in Leon's hand, the mermaid statue, which had shrunk to the size of a fist, curiously gazed at the distant sea eye before returning to perch on the edge of the shell. There, it swung its tiny tail while shaking its head at Leon's slightly anxious expression, saying:
"No need to watch it again. Recently, only the four of you have passed through this sea eye. There are no such directors of crabs or bugs as you mentioned."
Not the crab director and bug director, but the Cancer director and Scorpio director... fine, call them whatever you like...
Instinctively correcting himself, Leon, who had "invited" the mermaid statue from the ruins to near the sea eye, unwillingly asked again:
"Are you sure your perception isn't mistaken? Could there be some special circumstances? Like, were they frozen and fell without directly contacting this world, or used some anomaly to hide their aura so you couldn't detect them?"
