"My name is Shirahoshi. How did you get in?"
"King Neptune let me in."
Ryuya, being very familiar, came in front of Shirahoshi.
Shirahoshi extended her palm and naturally placed Ryuya in her palm.
She didn't know why, but she found this man named Ryuya incredibly captivating.
Her heart beat faster.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before, living in the "Hard Shell Tower" for so long.
"Shirahoshi, your father has told me everything. I won't waste your time with unnecessary talk. I only have one question for you. Do you long for a life of freedom?"
A life of freedom!
Hearing Ryuya's words, Shirahoshi was clearly stunned.
She unconsciously looked at the small window beside her.
The light streamed in from the window, and the warm feeling made Shirahoshi yearn for it.
But she didn't dare leave the "Hard Shell Tower."
Because as soon as she left, many projectiles would fly towards her from the air.
If she hadn't dodged quickly, she might have been injured!
She didn't know how long she had been in the "Hard Shell Tower." Her perception of the outside world had become somewhat blurry.
Tears welled up in Shirahoshi's eyes.
In a flash, she felt like she had been wronged in every way.
This grievance made Shirahoshi cry.
She hadn't done anything wrong. Why did this happen, forcing her to live in the "Hard Shell Tower" and not be able to go out?
"Ryuya, I want to go out! I want to walk out of the "Hard Shell Tower" openly and freely. I want to experience that life of freedom."
Shirahoshi shouted loudly.
At the same time, tears streamed from her eyes.
However, these tears were a bit large compared to normal people.
But considering Shirahoshi's size, it was quite normal.
"Do you trust me? If you do, we can walk out openly right now!"
She didn't know if it was because of the 100% favorability.
Shirahoshi's trust in Ryuya was maxed out from the beginning.
Shirahoshi nodded vigorously and said to Ryuya, "Yeah, Ryuya, I trust you!"
With that, Shirahoshi swam out of the small space of the "Hard Shell Tower."
When Neptune saw Shirahoshi walk out of the "Hard Shell Tower,"
He almost couldn't control his emotions.
But he had been king for many years, so Neptune took a deep breath and regained some control.
He forced himself to speak calmly to Shirahoshi, "Shirahoshi, trust Ryuya. He will definitely defeat Vander Decken IX! You won't have to live in the "Hard Shell Tower" anymore!"
Shirahoshi nodded vigorously.
But at that moment, a projectile flew from a distance.
This projectile was a flying dagger with a letter attached to it.
It drew an arc in the air and flew towards Shirahoshi.
Seeing this, Ryuya softly shouted, "Ain!"
"Yes, Ryuya-sama!"
As soon as Ryuya finished speaking, Ain drew her sword.
She rose from the ground, her blade held horizontally, directly blocking the flying dagger.
The entire process was smooth and effortless, looking extremely easy.
She took the envelope from the flying dagger.
Ryuya slowly unfolded it.
What met his eyes was a rather pathetic love letter.
No, calling it a love letter was an insult. The writing was crooked and messy, looking like it was written by someone who had just learned to write.
"Shirahoshi, let's go. I want you to see this nightmare disappear with your own eyes!"
Ryuya was planning to use this method to eliminate the shadows in Shirahoshi's heart.
He wanted to completely erase this bad memory through Vander Decken IX's death.
"Do I need to go?"
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. I'll take care of this."
After receiving Ryuya's answer, Neptune nodded. He trusted Ryuya and the others.
Led by Shirahoshi, everyone headed towards Vander Decken IX's location.
Actually, they didn't need Shirahoshi to lead them.
Relying on the trajectory of the projectile, Ryuya and the others could find Vander Decken IX.
As expected, about half an hour later,
Ryuya and the others saw Vander Decken IX in the Sea Forest, beside Noah's Ark.
Ain had never seen such a huge ship before.
She was completely stunned.
Ryuya, on the other hand, was interested in comparing it to Noah's Ark in his system space.
The materials and size should be the same.
But this Noah's Ark had been in the deep sea for too long. Its defense had significantly decreased.
Shirahoshi's attention was entirely on Vander Decken IX.
She couldn't wait to regain her freedom!
She wanted to swim freely in the ocean, not be confined to the small "Hard Shell Tower" and live in a cramped space!
Unlike their thoughts, Vander Decken IX, seeing Shirahoshi come in front of him, was incredibly excited!
He said to Shirahoshi, "Shirahoshi, have you finally agreed to marry me? Time is of the essence. Let's get married quickly!"
Thinking that he would soon be able to control the Sea King and become the ruler of the world,
Vander Decken IX's heart was filled with excitement!
But hearing Vander Decken IX's words, Shirahoshi immediately refused, "Vander Decken, I advise you to stop fantasizing about these things. I will never agree to marry you. If I really have to marry someone, then I'll give myself to Ryuya!"
"Ryuya?"
Vander Decken IX didn't understand who Ryuya was at first.
But when he looked at the man beside Shirahoshi, he was completely taken aback.
"You'd rather marry a human than me?"
Vander Decken IX said viciously. After saying this, he continued, "It's okay. As long as I kill him, you'll still be mine!"
"Shirahoshi, every second this kind of person exists in the world is a sin. You shouldn't bother with him anymore."
Ryuya didn't even bother with Vander Decken IX.
He simply ordered Ain beside him, "Kill him!"
"Yes, Ryuya-sama!"
Ain nodded vigorously, then stepped forward and said to Vander Decken IX, "You're facing me!"
With that, Ain charged towards Vander Decken IX.
Because she knew that Ryuya didn't want to waste time on this scum.
"Humph, it seems you're just a wimp who hides behind women. After I kill this woman, I'll come and deal with you slowly!"
Vander Decken IX obviously didn't know Ryuya's identity.
If he knew that Ryuya had killed Hody Jones with just one move,
He would have run away without a word when he encountered Ryuya.
But in this world, there are no ifs...
