I’ve been to many worlds, but I can’t believe I ended up in a world under the sea.

I felt that the world was truly wide and that people could live anywhere.

“The building over there collapsed. Are you okay?“

“Yes, you don’t have to worry that much.”

A wild sea king species caused a building on the outskirts of the city to collapse, but Sheriff Maring didn’t really care.

“At least one building will be built soon.“

“Really? Umm..“

“If you’re curious, would you like to take a look?“

“Huh? Uh…“

I was curious about how a collapsed building in the sea was rebuilt. Normally I would have gone straight to work, but since it had been a while since I went out, other things caught my eye.

And I felt like I knew how a married man felt. When I got out of the house, I just felt good.

I headed towards the collapsed building with Maring.

At the collapsed site, there were people wearing clothes similar to Maring.

And those people were holding strange round guns and aiming at the collapsed building.

-Pop!

The beam was fired.

The collapsed building slowly disappeared.

“You erase it like some kind of eraser?“

“That’s a transmission device, so it was sent to the underground city. Most of the underground city is repair facilities.“

Let’s nod our heads at Maring’s words.

This time, everyone at the scene connected the round gun to the numerous building materials next to them.

Afterwards, a beam was fired towards an empty lot.

Then, a blue light appeared, and the height of the building gradually increased on the first and second floors, and soon a building different from the one I saw earlier was erected.

“Wow.. I made it in less than an hour.“

“Is it interesting?“

“Uh. Originally, buildings took several years to be built. It’s amazing..“

The underwater city was not created for nothing.

To create a building in an instant, as if summoning someone.

It certainly seemed like the technology here was the best in the world.

Looking at this. I trusted Maring when he said that Negrol was possible in other dimensions.

“I think I’ve seen it all. Let’s go now.“

“Okay, let’s go quickly and catch the criminal.“

I was full of energy at the thought of playing lark in the princess’s room.

I followed Maring all the way.

The place we arrived was a scene with red and blue sirens shining.

On the outside, it looks like an ordinary city mansion…

“Are you here? Sheriff!“

As soon as I arrived here, there were many people wearing clothes similar to Maring.

One of them approached Maring. I saluted with great enthusiasm.

“How about it? Did you find something?“

“Well… there is no trace this time either.“

“Tone..“

It seemed like another person was kidnapped in this house.

Investigators similar to Maring appeared to be going in and out, looking and checking.

“That.. Sheriff. The person next to him…“

“I called someone to help me using the summoning app.“

“I heard you met in a ranked match…“

“That’s right. This time, I am the person who succeeded in upgrading to diamond level.“

“This…I can’t believe it!“

A person who looks like Maring’s subordinate.

The person approached me right away.

“Woman, it’s an honor. My name is Toto!“

“Ah.. Nice to meet you. Mr. Toto. My name is Park Ja-geun.“

As soon as that person saw me, he was radiating a lot of blue energy.

It seemed like he was well aware of the reputation of the diamond grade.

“Toto investigator is someone who works under me. Currently at gold level.“

“I see.“

As expected, he was someone who worked under Maring.

“I see that there is no protective wetsuit. You must have that kind of ability!?“

“Right?“

“Of course.. Diamond.“

Mr. Toto seemed very excited when he saw me breathing calmly in the water.

“Toto. Jageun is uncomfortable.“

“Ah.. I’m sorry!“

When Maring drew a line, Toto seemed to come to his senses and returned to his original voice.

“Sorry, Toto is overly immersed and gets excited often.“

That’s right.

I have a personality that is prone to overindulgence.

He was a person with a narrow perspective and a personality that only focused on one thing.

“Would you like to go in first?“

“Yes, Jageun knows how to use magic. We might find traces we don’t know about.“

I followed investigator Toto into the building.

Since it was a building where people lived, the sea water disappeared as soon as I entered the entrance.

And the two disarmed the suit helmets inside the building.

‘As expected, Maring is pretty.’

Inside, with the helmet removed, was a beautiful puppy-like woman with purple hair.

“You’re looking at me too blatantly?“

“Haha.. Is that so~“

“I feel somewhat embarrassed.“

Maring felt burdened by my gaze, as if his mask had been removed.

Of course, even though I felt that pressure, I was smiling slightly as if I didn’t like it.

“This way!“

And in the distance, Mr. Toto, an overly immersive investigator, was taking the lead.

“Toto seems to have the appearance of a normal person.“

“Contemplation? What is physiognomy?“

“Uh…should I say that he is prone to overindulgence? It looks like that kind of face.“

“Really? I guess you can tell just by looking at the face if it’s Diamond level.“

“That’s not true.. Just roughly.“

I never thought you would know the word physiognomy.

It is true that this world is a highly developed world, but the feelings and instinctive senses seemed to be very weak.

No… I thought that with this level of technology, there would be no need for the traditional old methods.

I followed Toto past the laser tape line with the yellow warning sign and entered the room.

To anyone who could see it, it looked like an ordinary person’s living room.

“It’s been 4 days since the landlord disappeared. Even though I scanned the entire room and looked around all the activity areas, I couldn’t find any trace of him.“

I looked around the house while listening to Toto’s explanation.

Certainly, as Mr. Toto said, there was no such thing as the warmth of the dead.

There were just traces of someone living alone.

Mug on the table.

A kettle is visible above the range.

Next to it, I saw a sugar bar and a coffee pack.

“Because I see coffee. I’m guessing that he was attacked in the morning… but other than that, I can’t find any traces. There was a digital record that even the front door was not opened.“

I woke up in the morning and was kidnapped from my house.

It was strange.

If I were the culprit, I would have just dealt with it while I was sleeping, but why bother?

“But if you open the window and come in, seawater will come in and the house will be filled with water.“

“I guess so.“

This incident certainly seemed more dangerous than the Haewang Bell blowing up a building.

There is a way to deal with the Sea King Sect, but even if we know this, we cannot prevent crime.

“How about it? What do you think is there?“

“I don’t really see anything like that.. Huh?“

I didn’t feel anything special either, so I tried to just ignore it, but I felt someone’s gaze on me.

Someone is watching me through the window.

I quickly looked at the window.

The red energy scattered.

There was nothing visible there.

It was as if there was an instantaneous movement.

I didn’t feel any magic at all.

It seemed like he got away with pure physicality.

“What’s wrong?“

“…No. I guess it’s my mood.“

I don’t know about anything else, but for a moment… I felt a red energy.

Investigators and sheriffs are openly saying that the criminal is coming back to the house of the person who kidnapped him.

It seemed like he was provoking me, telling me to look for something.

‘That’s fun.’

As expected, it felt really good to go out after a long time.

I also received a lot of stimulation.

“You said you thought the kidnapper was a mermaid, right?“

“Uh.. right?“

“Data on any mermaids who may have entered or entered this city. Can I see it?“

“It must be a lot, is it okay?“

“You have to do it to get compensation~“

“As expected..! You are diamond grade!“

I received all information about those who entered and left the underwater city via phone.

At least tens of thousands of mermaids lived in this city.

Even now, information is being updated in real time, so the criminal could have escaped if he wanted to.

Of course, seeing as he even provoked me, it doesn’t seem like he has any intention of doing so.

It felt like I was still in the city.

“Let’s see..“

I checked the information about the mermaids one by one.

It would have been bothersome in the past, but not now.

Compared to sitting idle in the princess’s room, this repetitive and laborious work was really fun.

The mermaids continued to check.

“You’re watching, right?“

“Huh? Yes, yes.“

I was flipping through countless mermaid materials in an instant.

Maring was fast enough to make me think I wasn’t looking at the data in detail.

“First of all, this one mermaid.“

“Uh…?“

I picked one piece of mermaid material and sent it to Maring.

“And this mermaid too. This mermaid too.“

I found three mermaids who did that.

The first is an anchovy mermaid.

It looks sharp, so it must have the ability to escape my gaze.

From what I can see, he is active as a swimmer.

The second is the shrimp mermaid.

This guy just looked evil from the start.

When I entered the alley, he looked like a rich boss with a big guy next to me, so I picked him.

And the last one…

“This guy is the most suspicious.“

Blowfish mermaid.

It was a guy whose beard was made of puffer thorns.

Looking at the contents. It was said that the body was so small that it could fit into any hole.

I thought the reason I couldn’t see it from the window earlier was because this guy had gotten smaller.

“Look for the two above. Because I will meet this puffer mermaid.“

“Ma..right? I chose this after seeing 30,000 mermaids in 30 minutes… wasn’t this drawn at random?“

“Yes, that’s right.“

“What!?“

I almost said “. Because I chose it with great concentration. Will you cooperate?“

“…“

Marling looked at me a little puzzled.

Well, the performance I showed just now was based on reading data faster than reading a comic book, so it might have seemed like a prank to an ordinary person.

“First of all, I found the data. I’ll give it a go. Since there is no trace anyway, I guess I should try some strange apples too..“

“Haha. Because it’s a ripe apple. Give it a try.“

“Ugh..“

Maring seemed very disappointed with my appearance.
