"Uuuuugh... that girl seriously has no eye for quality."

Shana let out a sigh so loud it seemed to echo across the seabed. In fact, he might have intended for it to echo.

He leaned his body against a rock, glancing toward Guest who was sitting beside him listening.

"No matter how you look at it, I'm the most attractive male among the Langros..."

Such exaggerated pride, which he would never normally voice, spills out freely when he's alone with Guest. The complaints, everything.

"...Guest...?"

After rambling on and on, the response from his side vanished. Looking over, he saw Guest asleep, leaning against the rock.

The jellyfish bell swayed softly, revealing Guest's face.

"...Guest, you asleep...?"

He mutters in a tone that seems to be testing the waters.

【Medu Race】
A mermaid species that wears a bell similar to a jellyfish and mimics one. Because the mermaid body itself is so weak it reacts hypersensitively to the slightest touch, the Medu hide themselves behind tentacles and oral arms hanging from the bell.

---

"...Ah..."

His vision was filled with Guest. The obstructive jellyfish bell and tentacles could be easily moved aside while they slept.

For once, he was grateful that Langros tongues were long.

【Guest】
A Medu. Has gills near the ribs.
Wears a jellyfish-like bell on the head, unique to the Medu race. Has been friends with Shana for ten years.
