The war between the two races came to an end.
Sofia overlooked the smoke-filled land, strewn with the wreckage of cosmic warships.
Like shattered dreams, they lay silently on the endless seabed, their damaged hulls seeping hazardous substances.
If left unchecked, it would surely cause problems for the marine life, right?
Therefore, she immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleared.
Afterward, Sofia led her troops on the journey back home.
The seascape along the way was beautiful and serene, and the fleet soon returned to the Merfolk Kingdom.
Their return was like a warm current, dispelling the gloom that had hung over the tribe; the princess's heroic deeds had already been communicated in advance.
The streets were deserted as everyone flocked to them, and the Merfolk poured into the streets, cheering for her victory.
"I'm starving, when can we finally eat?"
Patting his exposed belly button, Gian leaned against a corner of the warship, munching on dried fish.
With his ear resting on the table, Xiao Fu responded weakly: "Eat! Gian, I don't think I can eat anything; it'll take at least a few days to forget what happened."
Xiao Fu, whose mouth felt dry and whose stomach was rumbling, recalled the scene of the monster fish's severed limbs landing precisely on his window.
He almost vomited all his stomach acid.
The team docked and arrived at the royal palace on the mountaintop. Queen Wendini, who had woken up early, was already waiting outside the main gate.
She had even taken the time to shower and change clothes; as Nobi Hiroshi passed by, he didn't smell any lingering scent of himself.
"Your Royal Highness, you truly have the people's hearts~"
Looking at Sofia, surrounded by her people, Nobi Hiroshi, standing on the steps, felt quite relieved.
At the same time, he raised an eyebrow and used telekinesis to fling away a few mischievous children who tried to touch her indiscriminately.
"Yes, that's right, so it's time for me to abdicate now."
Wendini's gaze towards Sofia was filled with kindness and pride, and after saying this, she felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
The reason, well, was to enjoy some leisure time.
She had given so many years to the Merfolk; couldn't she finally enjoy herself?
Nobi Hiroshi, understanding the Queen, deeply agreed. Wendini was indeed a lazy dog; every time he told her to move herself, she was too lazy to, completely enjoying being satisfied passively.
"Hmm, I think so too."
"But what I wanted to say is, if you were to have one, what should Sofia call the newborn little Merfolk?"
Looking at the Queen's lower abdomen, it definitely wasn't cleaned out properly; it was all because the 'Life Reaper' was poorly made and broke during the sprint phase.
Nobi Hiroshi reached out and poked her abdomen; it felt slightly springy, and about half of it should be there.
"You don't need to worry about that; such a situation won't happen."
"If we want children, we can use our own technology to conceive them."
With a charming glance, Wendini stepped her fair, tender leg onto the steps outside the hall.
Alien technology was truly terrifying!
Nobi Hiroshi felt as if he had been enlightened and began to contemplate stir-frying for the evening.
He had originally wanted to maintain that 0.1-centimeter distance, but now it seemed he was being overly sentimental.
"Fellow Merfolk! All eyes on me!"
Ascending the altar, Wendini's clear voice drew everyone's attention, her voluptuous figure looking exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight.
Different from her usual purple palace gown, her crystal blue long robe was embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the train of the skirt extended all the way down the steps behind her.
Her snowy white hair cascaded like a waterfall, gently secured by a delicate crown, her face bearing a resolute expression, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.
"I trust you all know who summoned the Merfolk Sword and defeated our millennia-old archenemy, the Gua Yu Zu."
"Therefore, I now officially announce that Princess Sofia will inherit the title of Queen and become the new glory of our Merfolk!"
Wendini shouted loudly to the surging crowd of citizens below.
Nobi Hiroshi, Shizuka, Doraemon, and the others stood by the steps, applauding enthusiastically.
"Oh!!!"
Deafening cheers, accompanied by fluttering flags and streamers.
Everything had been prepared in advance.
Sofia walked onto the stage with a nervous expression, clearly caught off guard, not expecting her grandmother to announce the succession to the throne at such a moment.
However, she wasn't too surprised, as she had been mentally prepared for a long time.
After a series of oaths, she enthusiastically waved to her citizens.
The entire coronation ceremony proceeded smoothly, and it was almost time for the humans, who did not belong in this place, to leave.
But there was no rush; at least tonight, they would stay here overnight.
Attending banquets was a human instinct, and a grand banquet for a queen's enthronement was not to be missed.
Late at night, the palace corridor was silent, with only the footsteps of guards changing shifts occasionally appearing in the ground floor hall.
Gian and the 'delicious' Xiao Fu, who had no appetite, were helped back to their rooms by Doraemon and Nobita.
Shizuka, who was slightly uncomfortable psychologically, had also fallen asleep early today.
So, only Nobi Hiroshi slipped out in the middle of the night for a midnight snack.
As for the location—the new Queen's bedchamber.
The Queen said she'd treat him to a seafood feast.
With a brilliant smile, Nobi Hiroshi leisurely walked through the corridor and arrived at Sofia's room. The maid had already been sent away.
Imagining the girl in her Golden Battle Skirt, his heart beat a few times faster than usual.
He gently pushed open the door. The room was dim and quiet, with only moonlight streaming through the window onto the floor.
Sofia sat in a rocking chair by the window, seemingly deep in thought, until the young man's footsteps broke the silence.
"Sofia, no, Your Majesty, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for someone to attend you?"
"Attend me…"
Sofia turned her head and smiled, the delicate golden chains on her chest jiggling up and down. Indeed, she was wearing that outfit, which did not disappoint.
With eyes full of affection, she threw herself into his arms, her ample golden form making him dizzy, and even through the battle skirt, he could feel that softness.
Perhaps due to its divine origin, the metal's ductility was unbelievably good; it felt no different from ordinary pajamas.
Nobi Hiroshi wrapped one arm around her slender waist and used the other to lift her smooth chin: "Delicious little fish, can I eat you now?"
"Mmm~"
Wrapping her arms around his neck, the girl responded softly, her eyes hazy, then actively pulled Nobi Hiroshi to sit by the bed to rest.
He gently stroked the young man's cheek, feeling the warmth and tremor at his fingertips.
Their gazes met, soft whispers filled with warmth and jade-like beauty, hot breaths brushed against her neck, and his nostrils were filled with her scent.
"Soft, yet firm."
"Sofia, do you know? This is my favorite part of your body."
Playing with the girl's jade-like legs, a wonderful sensation spread from his palm to his soul, the delicate and elastic feedback making it impossible to let go.
A mermaid's leg was originally a wonderful ingredient, like ice cream that melted in your mouth.
What's more, as a princess, Sofia had trained her body and practiced swordsmanship since she was young.
Her leg muscles were exceptionally soft and strong, every inch of her skin exuding power and beauty.
The perfectly smooth lines showcased feminine grace, yet contained an indescribable power.
Perhaps, just a touch from her thigh could produce enough terunsu to fill a large bowl.
He dared not imagine how many innocent lives would be sacrificed when she stepped down from above.
If not hundreds of millions, then tens of millions.
Nobi Hiroshi was already excited, his hidden weapon automatically activating beyond his control.
"As long as you like it."
Sofia straddled his lap, her small hands passing under his armpits, embracing his shoulders and back from behind, immersing him in her tenderness.
Well, the exhilarating battle might only be starting now.
The fish Boyijin couldn't defeat, others would naturally subdue. Who dares claim to be invincible in the world?
