The perfect substitute

Hah..." Higla suddenly let out a strange laugh, holding a long-handled spoon in her hand, gently stirring the thick liquid, and the corpses of water snakes and many specimens of strange creatures hung on the shelf behind her. She was a black witch Hegla, who is a teacher, did not look at Helena with those shapeless eyes until Helena's scalp went numb from laughing, and said in a low voice, "You have more than one wish to fulfill, you... ...Which one do you want me to help you achieve? "

As soon as Hegla's disgusting voice fell to the ground, a system warning voice sounded in Helena's mind:

[System level warning!System level warning!The existence of the system must not be exposed, and the plot of the story must not be revealed!Offenders will receive a million volt electric shock! 】

[I wipe——! 】Helena couldn't help but swear in the bottom of her heart.million volts?I still have Pikachu Pikachu!But using this trick to prevent her from leaking words is a very convenient and quick way.Hmph, she is still a very dedicated employee, okay?This is the first time she has been assigned a task, and she must complete it satisfactorily.Don't ask for a first-level task score, just be able to guarantee a passing reward. She is still waiting to use those rewards to help Susu.

Helena's expression became slightly complicated, and she regained her composure when she raised her head again. She raised her resolute eyes, stared at Hegera's strange attire, and said clearly and calmly, "I want to become a human! "

"Helena! You're crazy—!!"

Following Helena's eloquent speech, Sidel's exclamation sounded behind her.

"West...!" Helena turned around reflexively, waiting to see clearly Sidel's embarrassed appearance, almost bloody fish tail, no matter how cruel she was, she couldn't help but cursed, " You are the crazy one! You actually came here alone? Can you come to the bottom of the abyss? Even if my sister comes here, she must rely on the treasures given by the king, you... you Big idiot!!!"

He immediately figured out the fact that Siddell came here for her, and Helena's calm heart that had never changed for thousands of years was rippling, her mood was no longer stable, and her expression became a little more anxious and annoyed.

Higla looked at the two interacting with great interest, the eyes flickering under the black cloak.

"Little prince of the Kingdom of Antias, what's the point of coming to this sea witch? If there is nothing special, please don't interfere with my deal with the princess."

"...A deal?! What kind of deal do you plan to make with Helena?!" Siddell's expression changed, and he suddenly stepped forward to grab Hegela's wrist. The defenseless Hegera was pulled by him, and his face couldn't help showing A look of surprise.

...The explosive power is so powerful. Is this really the Siddell who was given the title of "Little Prince of Trash" by the Kingdom of Andias?It seems that the rumors really cannot be believed.His gaze sank, and Higera's expression became unpredictable.

"Well... I'm going to ask our lovely little princess~" Hegla smiled ambiguously, and forcefully opened Siddell's fingers, staring at him with dark and strange eyes, "The little prince is really kind to the little princess." With deep affection, if this transaction is done by you, it is not impossible to be particularly accommodating!"

"...Higla! You're enough!" Helena snapped suddenly, pulled Siddell behind her, stared coldly at Higla and said, "When I think about it temporarily There is something, let's talk about it next time!"

Without saying a word, Helena grabbed Siddell and walked away. No matter how terrible the cold air Siddell exuded along the way, she didn't give him the slightest chance to break free.

Only she can bully Siddell, even if she is a little stupid, not everyone can take advantage of it! !

Siddell, who was roughly dragged away by Helena, stared down at Helena's beautiful side face, with unspeakable complex emotions surging in his eyes.

The author has something to say: The purpose of the story in this article is: to see the heroine's hard-working dances, we onlookers are very happy XXD

3 The Mermaid Princess of the Daughter of the Sea

Among the seven mermaid princesses in the Kingdom of St. Osiana, only Helena and the sixth princess, Hetherine, are named after the ocean. As the father’s favorite daughter, Helena’s personality is completely different from that of Hetherine. On the contrary, Helena once thought that the legendary little mermaid who was willing to turn into bubbles for her beloved prince was her delicate and sensitive sixth sister, Hetherine.

When she was a child, Helena's soft and romantic sixth sister, Hetherine flipped through the words engraved on the shell and asked her with a bright and sad expression.

"Helena, do you know the saying about the 'immortal soul'?"

Helena remembers that she was staring at the school of fish swimming in front of her at that time, greedily missing the various seafood platters she used to love, but now these fish are the subjects of the kingdom, she can't take them casually For food... well, what a pity.

So, Helena had to wipe the water stains on her lips, and replied lazily with her eyelids drooping, "Mermaids don't have immortal souls. It is said that we turn into bubbles after death. How good it is to be environmentally friendly." ..."

Hetherine's mouth twitched when she heard Helena's words, but she quickly returned to a literary state, wearing a bracelet made of pearls on her white wrist, and her slender fingers gently pushed aside the algae on the shell, reading the above In the ancient and mysterious records, the tone is misty and yearning, "No, it's not like this!

It says, only if there is a being who loves you, treats you more than your parents, puts all his thoughts and love on you, only if he asks the priest to put his right hand in yours , when he swears to be loyal to you now and forever in the future, his soul will be transferred to you, and you will get a share of human happiness.He will give you a soul while keeping his own soul immortal.

It's just that... such a thing never seems to have happened..."

Helena, who was happily nibbling on a strange fruit from a garden tree, raised her eyes slightly when she heard Hetherine's frustrated words, stretched out her hand and pinched her soft cheek, and smiled presumptuously with the corners of her mouth open. , "Little girl is thinking about spring! But don't look for anyone, don't look for human beings, love of different races will not end well, the world outlook, outlook on life, and values ​​are all different!"

"Wuuuu..." At that time, Heseline, who was still young, had moist eyes, staring at her with grievances, and her tone revealed a bit of confusion and incomprehension, "Helena, you are obviously younger than me, why do you know So many things?"

"Hahaha, that's natural!" At that time, Helena would always show a flattering smile, and laugh casually with her arm on her pillow, "The secret, don't let it out!"

At that time, she always thought that the literary and artistic Sixth Sister was the legendary Little Mermaid, and she was just a passerby who was fanned out by the wings of a butterfly. Who knew... Now that she has become accustomed to treating herself as the heir of the kingdom, she will successively treat the five The elder sister got married successfully, and when the sixth elder sister was ready to unify the ocean after waiting for the sixth elder sister to conform to the plot, she was reminded by the system gentleman who suddenly appeared:

[Ding—system task: Beautiful little mermaid princess, you are 15 years old this year, it's time to save the prince! 】

A word that resounded directly in the ocean of consciousness without thinking, made her, who was playing with the overlord shark in the sea, almost accidentally die in the belly of the fish and ruin her youth... Now that she thinks about it, Hetherine hates it so much, she just I know that the witch of the extreme night who loves to play with people the most is not so kind to let her be a bystander watching the heroic love fairy tale of the Little Mermaid!

Originally wanted to be a free and easy audience, but finally found that he became the protagonist of the crowd. This feeling gap made Helena depressed for a long time. Fortunately, Siddell came up to her persistently to vent her anger. Didn't go bad in silence and go bad in silence.

Helena did not forget that Sidel, who was listening to her grandmother telling stories together at that time, completely ignored the sixth sister Helena, who was full of literary girlishness and was very affectionate and cherished. Instead, she dragged her chubby body with tears He rolled to her and said softly, "Nana, we mermaids have no soul, so we can live longer than humans. When we die, can we melt into bubbles together?"

At that time, Siddell's misty eyes made Helena stunned for a moment, and then she twitched Siddell's tail without hesitation, and gave a cold and disdainful reply, "Who wants to melt into bubbles with you? !idiot!"

What Helena didn't expect at that time was that she really...would be forced to become a bubble on her own initiative one day. This is a way of self-torture that can only be thought of by how insane, gloomy and desperate...

*****

The day after the birthday ceremony was successfully held, Siddell suddenly offered to leave. Although he felt that it was a bit sudden, Helena happily sent him away. After that, she came to the bottom of the abyss again, trying to make another deal with Hegla.

"Here! This is for you, don't need to thank me." Hegera grinned, shook the crystal liquid in the crystal bottle, and a strange light flashed across his eyes, "The price has already been paid, you can do it." matter!"

"Someone... has paid the price?" Helena took the bottle containing the potion, looked at the clear liquid flowing in it, as clear as clear water, and suddenly felt a surge of emotion in her heart, and suddenly raised her eyes to stare at the sea. Gradau, "You asked him, what price did he ask for?"

Hegla cast a sideways glance at Helena, and seeing her speak from between her teeth, she suddenly giggled strangely and said, "Little Prince Siddell is famous for his beauty all over the world, you say...
