Al Mar's History (p20)
Spoiler
As you can see, the Al Mar city has many snow-white temples, and all of them are churches where you can pray to the goddess of the sea, Poseidon. The temples of the Sea Goddess exist not only in Al Mar, but also on other Court Alf islands. We dedicate prayers to the goddess of the sea Poseidon every day, and even the Great Diva and her husband are her priests. Here you can see how a mermaid and her husband pray to Poseidon, holding hands. In Al Mar you can often see couples praying in this way♪ Of course, being a Sea Bishop, I also pray every day, but I also really want to do this, holding the hand of my wonderful husband Uf-fu-fu♪
So why is Poseidon's faith so prevalent in Al Mar? About this, I will tell you a story about the Prince of Al Mar and the Mermaid Princess, which is also known as the "Legend of the Mermaid Princess".
Court Alf consists of seven islands, including Al Mar, and once each island was an independent country separate from the others. Back then, the other six islands were once separate countries called Matori, Nevia, Saida, Mira, Dé Ryúa and Diana. The ocean current led along to each of these islands, and Al Mar was the island country, which could be used as a “transit point” on the way to each of the other countries. From here, it was possible to lay routes to the six other islands. In the previous era of the old Mamono Lords, before the reign of the current Mamono Lord, due to the fact that Al Mar was the center of the sea routes, being located near the sea and having wide and rich lands, it was captured several times by neighboring islands and used as a place for political negotiations. The situation around this country has always been tense and the reigning King, who often acted on the occasion of fraud and intrigue of neighbors, was the embodiment of the interweaving of political interests of other countries in Al Mar. Because of the concern that in the next conflict they would lose loved ones, the people of Al Mar were very loyal and serious. But, since there was always a conflict of someone’s interests somewhere, even people from the same country found themselves on opposite sides of the barricades and fought with each other.
And in such a chaotic setting, one of the main characters of this story, The Prince of Al Mar "Caspar Le Mar", appeared on the stage. Prince Caspar, despite the fact that he was the real son of the King, was extremely skeptical of the rule of his father, the King, and due to political intrigues he was expelled with shame, and went hiding, thanks to his vast past, in the slums of the city. Living a harsh life in a slum, the originally not stupid prince used his ingenuity and tactical skills to survive, and the King's ruthless actions forced him to swear revenge on his father. Guided by this desire, he pursued his father. Surprisingly, from the position of the poor, thanks to his wisdom and intrigues, Prince Caspar was able to return to the royal palace and took the throne.
However, the price the prince paid to perform such a miracle was very high. As a result of the path to accession to the throne he gathered many sins, because at that time only dark human emotions directed him. He lost his sense of faith in other people, as well as in his father, whom he began to hate, and became the most ruthless king in the history of Al Mar. And even after the change of kings, Al Mar remained a target for other countries and, in order to protect his country, the prince did not shy away from deceiving his neighbors and kindling the flames of war between them. If, in a neighboring country, they thought that behind the scenes through King Al Mar they would be able to contact the Matori pirates to rob other countries, then the next day their plans were transferred by King Caspar to Diana in order to deplete the forces of both countries in the conflict. As a reward for transferring rare objects of art, which can be called national treasures, to the Nevia nobles, King Caspar received information about the weaknesses of the influential people of Saida. With her help, the prince received powerful military weapons that the island of Saida possessed and sent it to the Eternal Kingdom Mira, exposing everything as if it had been received by this country for retaliatory aggression. It doesn’t matter if this happened in his country or in neighboring countries, King Caspar continued to unscrupulously use everything he could in the political struggle, weakening and poisoning others through deception. Because of the cruelty of his actions, the people of Al Mar began to fear their king and called him "the prince with an icy heart." Nevertheless, the reign of such a prince did not last long. Against him, who was fomenting wars one after another with Al Mar’s hands, his own soldiers rebelled and threw him into the sea. Thus, the prince went missing.
Drowning in a storm, a barely living prince, who was between life and death, was saved by the mermaid "Difina". On a distant small island, she devotedly took care of the prince, while the wounds healed on his body, and they spent time together. Initially, the prince perceived her only as an "extremely naive mermaid". But thanks to her purity and the absence of any doubts about him, he gradually opened his heart to her, and directed all of his love only towards her. Once, upon awakening, the prince heard a beautiful singing voice. Her beautiful and tender song. For the first time since the prince was rejected by his father, he felt heat penetrate his ice-covered heart. For the first time since that day, the prince was crying in Difina's arms, listening to her songs. At that moment, the cold ice in his heart finally melted.
The prince began to tell her something that he had not told anyone else for a long time - nothing but the words of truth. He very much regretted his past deeds and blamed himself for the blood and intrigues that Al Mar was plunged into in order to concentrate all power into his hands...it was his responsibility. He came to the decision that for the sake of redemption, he must create a country in which people can listen to songs with a calm soul, and the warm voices of Divas, such as Difina, will be heard everywhere. And above all, the Prince began to ponder the way in which to achieve this, but at the same time maintain the feelings that united him with the little mermaid... And Difina simply believed in the determination of her Prince.
With the help of Difina, Prince Caspar returned to Al Mar. There he delivered an excellent speech in which he apologized for his past deeds to those who were angry with him. In Al Mar, the king will no longer rule, henceforth, the Sea Goddess will rule this country - the prince preached about this to people. Initially able to plan everything well, Caspar, on whose account there were both many good and many bad deeds, decided to entrust everything to the goddess Poseidon. The prince already knew perfectly well that he was already completely different from the ruling class — kings, lords and nobility. Having made faith in the goddess Poseidon a national religion, he will direct the faithfulness of the people to someone who is above kings and rulers, in other words, he thought that he would make the people united again if he turned to having faith in the Goddess Poseidon.
After the Prince's speech, the people of Al Mar were at first embarrassed. However, belief in a sea goddess was originally widespread in Al Mar. And thanks to the help of the mermaid Difina, who spoke about the Prince’s allegiance to his homeland and that he had no other choice, after the stunning speech of Prince Caspar, faith in Poseidon united the hearts of the people of this country over time. And from that moment on, in Al Mar, the prince, like the sailors, prayed to the goddess of the sea, Poseidon. Also, it seems that since then, sea monsters began to often provide assistance to sailors in the case of calm. Moreover, with a poor harvest, mamono transferred seafood to the island. And if initially people engaged in fishing, perceived sea monsters as a threat, then soon they turned out to be just good neighbors. It seems that the sea monsters were very happy that there is such a large piece of land who where ready to accept them in their waters.
However, at that moment, the prince, uniting the hearts of people, seemed to just use religion as one of the ways to resolve internal disputes and he himself did not actually believe in the Sea Goddess. Uf-fu-fu♪ This could be called a punishment, but it’s just part of a good story: it was because of the threat of invasion from other countries that the prince should immediately unite the people of Al Mar. Moreover, given his past, he was probably just that kind of person who found it difficult to believe in the Goddess. However, by the time he was able to unite the disunited people of Al Mar and reconstruct the tormented island, the time had come for the “Asuramis War”. Prince Caspar, who became the representative of the country as a follower of the Sea Goddess, together with Difina, sought ways of reconciliation between the countries. But other rulers saw in him only as the same prince with an icy heart and refused to deal with him. In addition, other countries were so angry that, one might say, steam came from their ears, and Al Mar, who did not want to get involved in the hostilities, was attacked many times. Given the past actions of the prince, there is nothing surprising in the attack of other countries, however, in the eyes of the residents of Al Mar, it looked like one-sided attacks on the "follower of the sea goddess who was only looking for ways of reconciliation". Ironically, the more the prince called for peace, the more he was recognized as a kind-hearted ruler and the more the people united by faith in the Sea Goddess said "For the glory of our king!" and, contrary to his intentions, insisted on retaliation to other countries. The prince was deeply saddened by the view of the spreading war, which was already ready to drown all the islands, and his heart was wounded by the anger of people who were no longer able to be controlled. If the search for peace is unsuccessful, then he will have to lead the people of Al Mar themselves in the battle, in order to somehow help them survive in the flames of war. At that time, for the prince, the people of Al Mar who accepted him, despite his blood-stained hands, already became something important that he had to protect. And leading them into battle was what he had to do, even if he had to betray the command of his own heart that did not want war.
The mermaid, who was always near the prince, was also in deep sadness. When the prince himself boarded the battleship "Al Mar" as the command admiral and the ship, leaving the island, arrived in the battle zone in the Asuramis Sea, Difina made a decision.
A legend passed through word of mouth throughout Court Alf... The mermaid princess that, with a song of tears, united seven islands into one country and created Court Alf... The one who would later be called the Great Diva... It was lady Difina.
So that the beloved prince does not distort his heart, does not shut it in darkness... The song of tears with mercy to all the lives of the seven islands and sorrow over all lost lives instantly spread to the place of the battle, eventually reaching the hearts of all the people and monsters of the seven islands. According to legend, songs like the one Difina sang can stop the battle and heal the hearts of all those driven by fear and anger, sadness and despair. However, as the price for the miracle, Difina herself disappeared, turning into sea foam. In the sea, where the battle ended and silence fell, only one prince Caspar cried out and for the first time wholeheartedly prayed to the Sea Goddess. Everyone felt that the struggle for the Asuramis Sea, which had been going on since the days of the old Mamono Lords, had come to an end, especially looking at the heartbreaking spectacle of despair of the prince, who shouted about how dirty he lived, and begged: "Please, I will devote to you, Poseidon, my whole life, but give me back my beloved Difina!"
Oh, I'm sorry, maybe it turned out a little delayed, but I hope that after my story you understand the story of what happened. Uf-fu-fu♪ Well, the prince’s wish was fulfilled and Difina was reincarnated by the goddess Poseidon as the water spirit, Undine. Mermaid Princess Difina is the Great Diva who created the miraculous song that united the seven islands. For all our people, who became one country, Court Alf's Prince Caspar became a priest who prays to the sea goddess Poseidon and is also the husband of Difina. This couple feels great in the "Great Temple of the Sea" in the center of our Al Mar♪ Why is the faith in the sea goddess Poseidon so strong in Al Mar? Of course, one of the important reasons is that faith in Poseidon is the state religion of this island. However, people who live in Al Mar now dedicate prayers to the goddess Poseidon, thanks to her for the existing peaceful sea, for the prince and the great diva... and also because thanks to her, a great "blessing" was created, what we give other couples, able to create a miracle from their love bonds♪ And of course, from the bottom of my heart, I wish other couples to be inextricably linked by bonds of love and I bless them, so that one day, I could meet my life partner in the same way♪
Uf-fu-fu♪ Are you, dear customer, also a little interested in this? Then let me immediately direct this gondola towards the Temple of Sea Poetry♥
Current Al Mar (p24)
Spoiler
As I have already mentioned in its history, one of the main reasons why Al Mar is called the gateway to Court Alf is that the island has natural currents to the other islands: "Matori", "Nevia", "Saida", "Mira", “Dé Ryúa”, “Queen Diana”. And one of the waterways is connected to each of the ocean currents♪
If you look a little higher, you can see them.
U-Fu-Fu♪ Are you surprised? I think you could notice the narrow canals high above the buildings of the city. It is also a manifestation of the powers of the Sea Goddess and the Great Diva♪
As you can see, on this street the waterways are divided into two layers: earthly and heavenly. This is one of the hallmarks of Al Mar. You can climb to the top layer on a gondola on the "Huge Fountain-Elevator" in the city center. From there, having sailed onto a waterway connected to the desired island, you can reach it even if you sleep on board the ship♪
In Al Mar, where the waterways are the center of the movement, not the land, there are many places that are connected by bridges over which the gondola can sail. So long as you on one, you can swim anywhere. Thus, in addition to the singing maidens serving as tourist guides, the gondolas are very familiar to Al Mar residents, almost every house has one in fact.
How are they used? For example, that couple loaded their gondola with white flowers, known as "White Song Lilies", to consecrate them with a prayer in the temple of Poseidon. Besides the fact that gondolas serve as a means of transportation, they are often used in Al Mar as “ship shops”, mooring them to a bridge or building, past which many people move. Looking around the streets from the top of the bridge, you can see how many people buy goods from such ship shops♪ This will be more noticeable at the ship shops, which we will see a little later, when we get to "La Earl Street", where the largest waterway in Al Mar is. I think, dear client, you will definitely like this place, because there are many ship shops that are packed every day with the widest range of goods♪
Fu-fu-fu, right, after that we will go to the Temple of Sea Poetry. Or do you want to take a look at those white song lilies on that counter?
Ok, I’ll try to get closer to that ship♪
Ho ho, this is a very beautiful White Song Lily!♪
White Song Lilies grow throughout Al Mar, but usually their white petals are closed and they're tilted towards water. Flowers that grow on the coast of Al Mar will never open their petals, if they did not store the mamono mana of mamono for a long time. The fact that these beautiful flowers are still blooming now, having opened their petals, means that the couple who raised them had a lot of intercourse with great love and these flowers opened in response to their love!♪

As I already told you, when the prince, who met Difina and learned to love, proclaimed faith in the Sea Goddess Poseidon to be the state religion, it was these flowers that were blessed towards her first. For the prince, these lilies were a symbol of "true love, which is not painted in any other color" - that is, in other words, a symbol of great love for the Great Diva. Now the White Song Lily is a symbol of blessing and love. In Al Mar, they are considered something very special because of their "snow-white" color♪
Currently, after seven islands were united into one country, faith in the Sea Goddess has become the state religion in all of Court Alf. But it is Al Mar, that is the center of faith in Poseidon, is also known in the world as the "island of a new beginning". Because it is here in our native sea that new couples are created and it is here that they gain the blessing of protection and patronage of the Sea Goddess. And I also really want you to find your soul mate here♪ U-fu-fu♪
After I said this, does it not seem to you that everything on the island is perfect for this?❤
There are many white temples and wedding halls on the island, such as the “Temple of Sea Poetry,” and great wedding ceremonies are held every day. This is possible due to the joint work of local residents and Song Maidens working to help the wedding take place. And, of course, thanks to the Great Diva, who gives these blessing, and the Diva, who sings the “Blessing” song.
Oh mister♪
You listened so seriously...❤
Are you a little interested in marrying a monster girl? Fu-fu-fu♪
If you want this, then I, like any other resident of our island, will bring you to a marriage consultation♪
Until that moment, I, “Arial”, Diva of Al Mar, will serve as your guide♪ But now I will do my work as a Diva, which will tie a new couple in the Temple of Sea Poetry with a blessing song. If you are satisfied with me, dear client, then go inside and stay to listen to my song.
And, if you want... Uf-fu-fu❤... after work, I am completely free from sunset until tomorrow morning...❤

Diva Introduction from a Song Maiden
Thank you for visiting Al Mar today! Today, I, the candidate for the post of the next Diva, "The Singing Maiden of the First Island", will be your guide, dear client! And first of all, I will tell you about our Diva Arial! Arial is the current First Diva of Al Mar, she is a wonderful person and she is even called the “Goddess of Al Mar”! Before she became the Diva, even from the time when she was a Song Maiden, Arial already had a beautiful voice and grace, for which she was already called Al Mar's Masterpiece! Moreover, as a Song Maiden, sometimes she conducted city tours for newcomers, including some men! After she became the Diva, many mamono outside of Court Alf, even from other parts of the world, began to enroll as Song Maidens of Al Mar to become "the same as Arial!"
Miss Arial comes from a race called the “Sea Bishops,” and she is always calm, educated, and very dedicated to her work. Therefore, she is always an example for us Song Maidens! Surely she will be very devoted to her future husband! I feel like I want to do something to see it! I want to find a way for her to always smile and bloom, like the beautiful white lilies that grow in our Al Mar! Haha, perhaps Miss Arial is the very embodiment of these sea lilies, not of a Sea Bishop... Let’s verify this by traveling together to find out the truth about Miss Arial! Her private life is a complete mystery to me! She is almost elusive, during my last vacation I accompanied her on a tour of the holiday ship shops, but as soon as I turned away, she disappeared somewhere at that moment. And the next time, I saw her appearing out of the waterway next to the lane known as Lane of Rape, with a sad smile on her face. This lane is famous for the rude guys bringing Song Maidens there to... I think it has nothing to do with Ms. Arial... And these imported "Seductive Bells"!? I wonder why such a dubious tool interested her, it's all very strange, client! That is, they, of course, are popular for some reason, but they also have nothing for the beautiful story of Love! True, dear customer, everything mysterious can also be very attractive, because if you, with me, wish to solve the mystery of Arial - one of the Seven Wonders of Al Mar!... Ha-ha! But if we are noticed during the surveillance and Arial can guess about our case of great persecution, then I will have to immediately eject from the gondola!
When we, the mermaids, drive the gondola, we use the fins of our tail to control it, directing mana into them. But Arial drives the gondola so beautifully that it seems as if not her fins move the water, but she commands the surrounding water! It is so beautiful that there is no one in Court Alf who would not be impressed! When I first saw this - her magnificent figure, which brilliantly, as if dancing on the water, led the gondola, how gracefully she moves her fins, as if stroking the surface of the water, I could only watch it with a stone face! She was... was just like a Goddess!... and I was ready to burn with shame. As the daughter of Al Mar, I was confident in my skills in using fins, but could I call them any good after that? I was very worried and worried about this and somehow quietly became a Song Maiden! I mean, now that skill has become my goal! The work of Arial's fins is a wonderful sight to see at least once before dying! Many people visit Al Mar for this, heheheheh, isn't that amazing?
Even many people from distant countries come to Court Alf to ask the "Water Goddess Arial"~♪ Ah... for advice, but ordinary gondolas used by the Song Maidens and Arial are not used for excursions of groups of tourists. In particular, for groups of tourists they use a gondola "for a large number of people", which is difficult to control with the help of magic, because excursions to them are usually conducted by already existing monster couples. Those people whose guide turned out to be Arial personally and will swim directly in the gondola of the Goddess are certainly incredibly lucky people! What is that sigh? As a guide, of course, I am not inferior to... although, in fact, I am slightly inferior to Arial, but, without a doubt, my fin work is above the average level and I am able make this gondola move really fast!
Ahem, as you see, I again interrupted my story! I am fine, but no, I will tell you about my charm later. In addition, Arial attracts tourists to us not only as a "guide". In truth, Arial is not only a Diva, but also the main priestess who serves the Great Diva. Therefore, if you visit the Temple of Sea Poetry during the service that takes place there once a week, you can hear the magical voice of Arial singing! Oh, you want to hear how it happened? Of course, I was also surprised when I found out that Arial is both the Diva and the main priestess! But Arial was originally the priestess who served the Great Diva in the Temple of Sea Poetry. The last First Diva was the mermaid "Ateiru", her best friend, and it was she who invited Arial, asking once: "Would you like to try to become a Song Maiden?"
Ever since she started working as a priestess, Arial fell in love with conducting excursions for tourists who came to the Temple of Sea Poetry. And it seems that even before she became a Song Maiden, she used her own gondola to accompany clients. Even then, Arial had a strong desire: "I want you to know everything about our Al Mar, I want you to love this city!" In the past, she was often so fond of showing the city to tourists that she forgot about time and was often late for her prayer dedicated to the Sea Goddess. He-he-he, I think this is also one of the attractions of Al Mar, which is loved by many! In fact, since the Great Diva had known Arial for many years and knew that she had long wanted to chat with many people and conduct excursions for them, she was very happy when she became a Song Maiden! And in any case, Arial, who equally loves the city of Al Mar itself, and the people living in it, and the tourists visiting it, was chosen by the "Lilies of the White Song" and naturally became the next Diva!
Song of Blessing (p27)
Spoiler
As the name implies, the Song of Blessing, passed down from generation to generation by the Al Mar Divas, is a song that can bestow to “a husband and wife” the blessing of a bond of love! Needless to say, Diva Arial has now inherited this song! And of course, “The Song of the Blessing” is not a simple wedding song! The power of the Great Diva is embodied in this song, it has a special power! In Al Mar, the Diva congratulates the couple who held the wedding with a “blessing song,” and the blessing of this song makes the couple’s love endless!
Vows of love exchanged at a wedding! The feeling of that kiss! The thrill and joy of your heart pounding in your chest! All this will never be forgotten and will become eternal! I think this is great!
"You" understand? Of course, we monsters are a very romantic type! And although I feel that it is wrong to call myself the apostle of love, but such a definition sometimes comes from the outside! And for me personally, the feeling of love is much deeper than any of the seas! Indeed, even if “love” is discharged between monster couples, it is only to flare up again with renewed vigor, and I do not mean the so-called “mating season”! In other words, the once established monster pair will never divorce! Immediately after gaining a partner, they remain for life! United by a common fate! Actively engaged in creating a child! I will help you!
"You" understand? Eternal love is promised to a monster couple! Monster couples from all over the West and East, including beautiful couples living in mamono realms - and husbands who raped their wives, once meeting them in a dojo; and couples, where during the intercourse the wild side of the husband completely opened and his wife has now become his humble kitten, form to be together and give each other sweet sexual pleasure; the vampire and her only servant who are in a vicious relationship, living together in her mansion on a hill under the eternal moon, and although their relationship is forbidden, she allows him to snuggle up to her after a night massage without clothes; even monster couples with such a sense of immorality that, just being nearby, cannot help but imagine depraved intercourse - all loving monster couples can exist together forever without exception! Isn't that perfect? You think the same way, right? I always wanted to get married, like them, but, of course, for this I need to have a guy, which for now is an unattainable luxury for me. You know, sincerity, openness of those feelings that are inside is important to me... So, I believe that the first meeting is very important... I would like to ultimately, just like the Great Diva, meet my prince - that is, one might say, to meet his fate... I’m trying to say that he must be a man with whom fate itself will bring us together... and it so happened that my fateful first tourist of the opposite sex, whom I did not know before, was you♥ Yes? Today, too, did you first become a client of "Song Maidens"? Is it not surprising that we have so successfully caught each other? Do you also think that this is fate? Even now, after my explanation, you so calmly accepted this theory... That's why I think it would be nice to think about your relationship with me!
Ah, please customer, do not move so abruptly! This is dangerous while the gondola is moving... you may fall out! Honestly, I must admit that I was again very distracted, for which I repent a little. I settled on the fact that in the life of a monster couple love will never fade. So why then need the Song of Blessing? (sounds of kisses) It is because of the wonderful effect of this song! Of course, the love of a monster couple will never exhaust itself, but for a married couple, the wedding itself with the one you love so much, becoming a husband and wife, honeymoon... Ah! Yes, this is my first time! ...and the “Song of Blessing” can make these moments last endlessly! Moreover, if someone in a pair that was blessed with this song just thinks about it, they will always be able to perfectly remember the wedding scene, the colors, smells, the sound of the waves and, as if in reality, remember all the feelings of the fateful night that was the wedding ceremony in Al Mar! This does not exclude the already held pairs of people and mamono: when they hear the “Song of Blessing,” they can remember their own special time. Moreover, it seems that loving couples will be just happy together with their soulmate to indulge in the memories of their common moments... And I will be glad to remember how you attacked me, we had intercourse in the gondola and you moved so fast inside me!
Oh look! Going towards the gondola is a marriage ship with the bride and groom! How good, they look very happy and smiling... the essence of this song is... Ah! ...to bless this special time for the couple that was just born in this sea! In Al Mar, this is a common sight, but if you calmly listen to the song of blessing, looking at a beautiful newborn couple, then you will also have a desire to get married! In fact, even if you are not married but want to become a couple with someone else, this song has the power to help you find those feelings... Fu-Fu-Fu♥
The Duties of the Songstress and Song Maidens (p28)
Spoiler
What? By the way, from Diva to Song Maidens choose "White Song Lilies" when... Haaa... I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Again I did not explain something very important to you! And, as always, I compensate for this... and at the same time I will tell you in advance about one important date! I hope my story will please you! Now I will tell the story of the “White Song Lilies”, in Al Mar, they blossom everywhere, but they do not bloom. What? No, everything is in order, you did hear that right: these lilies blossom, but their flowers do not open! White Song Lilies grow everywhere in Al Mar, but usually they don’t open their petals completely. But only here, specifically in the city of Al Mar, these flowers really bloom to congratulate a happy couple! See this, white lilies are sold in this "ship shop", that’s how lively “White Song Lilies” bloom, they differ from unopened flowers. These flowers show how good this pair is... a pair that emits strong monster energy... that is, this... that is, I mean, since they are a pair of monsters, then this is what they will do often enough... Do you understand what I'm talking about!?
The basis of a married couple's life! Hot hugs! The interweaving of tongues and lips, ah!... this is really so good, but I do not envy them at all! Who told you about that!
In other words, when a monster couple creates and maintains a high concentration of monster mana, then the beautiful flowers of "White Song Lilies" bloom, as if congratulating the lovers.
And once every few decades there comes a moment when all the "White Song Lilies" that grow in Al Mar bloom. What? Does everyone in the city have sex? How, how could you even think such a thing?!♪ We are not like the Mamono Realm of Lescatie, which are rumored to be famous for such, and no matter how many Al Mar people love weddings, we never had such big orgies!
Hey! Do you hear that? Right now, Diva Arial is singing the “Song of Blessing” to the newlyweds in the Temple of Sea Poetry. Do you see how these “White Song Lilies" are trembling now? Each time the Diva of Al Mar sings the “Song of Blessing” for a new pair, “White Song Lilies” resonate with the song and slowly and steadily accumulate magical energy from each blessing. Thus, these lilies show how much Al Mar is filled with blessing, how often the diva of Al Mar, makes her appearance at many wedding ceremonies and blesses many couples with her song.
And when Al Mar is full of blessing, all the "White Song Lilies" that grow on the island blossom. This day, when white lilies bloom in Al Mar, is called the “Day of Blessing,” during which a festival is held in the city. The Diva, who has been fulfilling her role for a long time, on this day passes the “Song of the Blessing” to the new Diva. In other words, on this day, the past and the new Divas lead the festival together.
Now I will turn to history for a short while. They say that the “White Song Lilies" all bloom together on this day, because such was the will of the Great Diva. Because of this, there is a fantastic phenomenon called the "Blessing of the Song of The Sea" for the new Diva! When the Song Maiden, who was chosen as the new Diva, approaches the White Song Lilies with a fully opened flower, their flowers begin to glow slightly - thus, the new Diva is chosen from among the Song Maidens. If the chosen Song Maiden saunters around the city, the “White Song Lilies” in Al Mar will react to the new Diva and flash around her one by one! Light will gather around the Song Maiden, as if pursuing her every movement! Yes... it really looks fantastic! It is as if they are leading people to the new Diva, and in the end, when this maiden begins to sing, the lilies will shine brightly! Knowing that the luminous “White Song Lilies” in the city have chosen her as the new Diva, this Song Maiden, a little embarrassed because all the people celebrating will notice her, will go to the Temple of Sea Poetry, where the Ceremony of Inheritance of the song from the previous Diva takes place to fill this city with a blessing!
The past Diva, who transmitted the “Song of the Blessing” to the next Diva, becomes an ordinary mamono, who, having already been blessed, will find her love and sing only for her chosen one. Often on this “Day of Blessing,” a new Diva crowns a past Diva with her lover and directs her to the new life with a “blessing song poem”! When Al Mar's Diva gets married, it also enhances the “Blessing Song” that she sings, which is why she blesses more monster couples. Because of this, when the Diva is going to get married, people of Al Mar say that the time comes for the next Diva to take the baton. When the time comes for Arial to retire, I will certainly be a little upset that I can no longer hear the song of blessing in her performance, but so that you would not be so sad, I will sing for you as much as Arial! That's why I sing... and my first song will be about love! So please listen to my love song right now!
Fountain District Waterway (p30)
Spoiler
Oh~♪ It's so nice to sing even one song~♪ Especially when I'm not alone in the gondola! In particular, if I swim with a human of the opposite sex, such as "you", a client, then my heart is very excited in my chest, and, as you can see from the movement of the gondola, it is full of happiness!
What? "Is it okay to drive a gondola with my eyes closed?" This thought is wrong, what are you thinking, who am I? I am a mermaid from the Song Maidens of the First Island, as well as a self-proclaimed student of the Diva Arial! Please look at this fin... So, if you move it like this, then I can control the gondola like my own limb, it’s not difficult at all!
...now, was that a little dangerous? But client... everything is all right! If anything happens, feel free to ask me! And if you don't mind, it's okay to hug me in such cases♥
Well, this rarely happens, now we are heading to the ascending “Huge Fountain-Lift” located in the city center, which leads to the Temple of the Sea. Al Mar is divided into two levels: the lower one, which is mainly our Residential Water Area, and the upper one, where various public institutions are located on the tops of huge fountains. For example, at the upper level there are high-speed waterways that lead to other islands. The headquarters of the Bureau of Water Quality Management, which manages the Holy Water of Purification, the Water Garden, where guests from other mamono realms are entertained, as well as the Ceremonial Water Area and the Temple of Sea Poetry, are also located there. Look here, the "Ceremonial Water Area" can be vaguely seen from a great distance - it is a small water city floating in the sky! When you see it, you can feel the slight itch of thirst for adventure that you lost when you were a little boy♪
In addition, this Temple is high in the sky! Garden! Waterways! Even though there are so many objects in the sky, these do not cover it, so the sun's rays can reach the earth - for this reason it is difficult for you to see them! Although the powers of the Sea Goddess and the Great Diva are amazing, this city exists because the knowledge of the sea and water of the mermaids and the technology of human architecture of their husbands have become one! Is this not like the fate of the monster couples living in Al Mar? Let us do the same!
Forgive me! I feel a little excited again! Since all the waterways of Al Mar are connected with a giant lift fountain, we can go from there anywhere, but let's now direct the gondola to this narrow “Waterway of Fountain Street”! The waterway of the main street of the city is very beautiful, while moving along this narrow part of the waterway, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and shops located on the main street. In the future, this waterway branches out into many others and you can get confused very easily, but if you were born and raised in Al Mar, like me, then you can easily navigate in a familiar environment! It’s actually difficult to get lost there, but if you visited the city only for sightseeing, you probably won’t understand which way you need to move and where exactly you are. In this case, you can just ask for help from a Song Maiden, who are often found floating on one of the gondolas, and she will direct you clearly to the destination♪ Actually, it would be even interesting if I got lost! Hehe, in this case, I would very carefully try to swim into each of the waterways and sometimes stop the gondola to visit an institution that attracted my attention. And since Al Mar is so big and has so many forks and workarounds, for a long time I would swim away from the direct route to the destination! I believe that one of the ways to enjoy Al Mar is to look at different places in the city and stop from time to time to look at random city landscapes♪
What was it? Are you worried about seeing this gondola in front of us so close? Also do you hear the voices of men and women in front? I think you would like to do this too?♥ Fountain Street is also a very peculiar place♥ U-fu-fu-fu♥
Well, I will tell you a little about some of the features of this place for us song maidens. Since this “Waterway of the Fountain Street” leads the gondolas to the elevator fountain, the waterways here come together in one and many parts of the street are very narrow. Because of this, around the huge fountain, the waterways are so complicated, as if it were a small maze. In order to get to a particular store or aisle, you will have to swim around the bypass many times. The very flow of water becomes difficult to read, and even with a good gondolier like me, it becomes hard to move quickly between other people. Song Maidens visit this waterway many times during tours, therefore even if they sing or, like me, enjoy conversations with a client, they can easily drive a gondola and even actively admit their love to their "one and only chosen" client!
Now, why are you looking at me with such caution?!
Oh, you are one of the most beautiful clients! This is my first time driving my gondola with a client of the opposite sex, but I am proud that this trip is the best!
Hey, did you hear me!? Please look at me! Looking away to the side is useless!
Temple of Sea Poetry (p31)
Spoiler
Yes! This is the Temple of Sea Poetry! This outstanding shrine is dedicated to the Great Diva, and it is located at the highest point of Court Alf! Priest Caspar, Priestess Arial and several other sea bishops pray every day here to the Great Diva and the Sea Goddess Poseidon! In the back of the Temple, behind the ritual pedestal where Caspar is praying with the Great Diva, is the fountain of the Sea Goddess, where the water of the Great Diva splashes. This Fountain of the Great Diva is connected with all the waters of Court Alf and, thanks to the Great Diva, the water of Court Alf always remains crystal clear! In addition, although usually the Great Diva does not show herself to visitors, but when Al Mar's Diva passes the Song of Blessing to the next Diva, she will certainly appear, and then you can see how beautiful she is!... Although in fact I still have never seen the Great Diva... so I'm very curious!... A beautiful mermaid princess who has become the spirit of water! I want to see her soon! But people tell stories that the Great Diva seems to have fun by floating on each of the islands through a fountain! Some of the song maidens floating on gondolas, say that "they saw the Great Diva with their own eyes!" In addition, some people say that they saw a figure similar to her, which eagerly looked at candies in a candy shop ship, apparently she often visits "street shops" incognito... Well, if it is true or not, but the mysterious figure does appear in ship shops! And since this is one of the Seven Wonders of Al Mar, I'm really curious!
Now, because this is the Temple of Sea Poetry, I will speak a little more seriously! All the inhabitants of our Al Mar care about "meeting." The Temple of the Sea Goddess and the Great Diva is visited by many girls who pray for a "good first meeting." All mamono of Al Mar in this endless sea are eager to meet their only one, special man. The one who they would call their fate. And meeting him is something special that you cannot influence in any way. The same is true for us Song Maidens. What kind of people will come to this island? Which man will we have to help as guides? We...at least, I... I always prayed for this in the Temple. I did not want much, I simply asked the Sea Goddess for a good first meeting, and after that I would have achieved everything with my own efforts! After all, such is my pride as the daughter of Al Mar!
Of course, everything should go like the legendary Prince and the Mermaid Princess's meeting! I think the Great Diva achieved her love with her songs and the warmth of her heart, and this is what it's said in the legend! A huge number of people from outside come to Court Alf, including male tourists, so everyone hopes for such a “clash” in the end♪ Hehe, what do you wish for in prayer, dear customer? Maybe me? No, you will not ask for me, but you will be thankful because I turned out to be your guide today too! Because in this endless sea I met only one single client - you!
What?
What if you are not a prince?
No, no, no, what are you saying! All the Song Maidens of Al Mar are associated only with their only prince-man. For me there is only one man, the one whose guide I was for the first time - you are a special person in itself♥
Oh yeah! Would you like to go out and inspect the shops around after prayer? Despite being a temple, it is also a major tourist attraction! On the square and by the waterways around the temple there are various trading shops with a lively atmosphere♪
If you are for the first time in Al Mar, you must definitely try the fragile and beautiful "Bubble Candies" and "Bubbles Sweetshop"! Oh, I’d like to personally recommend this Bubbles Sweetshop "Sea Slime".
Al Mar's Bubble Candy (p32)
Spoiler
Al Mar's Bubble Candy.jpg
You're leaving? I will blow the bubble, please eat it! For example, "Wait for me"? No, wait, hey!
Why did you evade that?! Oh... The candy bubble that I made burst!
Do not avoid this just because it had embarrassed you! With all this, why don't you take a look at how to properly inflate the bubbles?
I never play with soap bubbles, because this jar is a source of sweet bubbles! “Foam confectionery water” is the Al Mar spring water, seasoned with sugar and Al Mar fruit juice, to which the mermaids have added their magical power. Moisten a tube in it and exhale on the other end so that you get a beautiful piece of candy that looks like a soap bubble〜 ♪
Is it easy to make a heart shape? Hehehehe, the fact is that for a while I was a self-proclaimed master of bubble candies and therefore I can make candy of any shape for you! For this, I practiced at night to someday make my prince happy. When I saw how a monster couple happily ate these sweets, blowing out a lot of pink bubbles in the form of hearts with these tubes, I realized that I had to practice this skill on my own! This seller, the mermaid Stella, knows me well in person! And now, when I told you about my passion for these sweets, let's talk more about these bubble candies!
Bubble candies are popular confectionery products that are very familiar to children and adults who grew up in Al Mar. They are classic sweets at the main festival and are very popular among tourists because of their beautiful appearance! Of course, you can eat such a bubble, because it's candy! And to enjoy it, open your mouth wider, place it inside and eat it. Of course, it will burst like a soap bubble, spreading throughout the mouth its sweet taste of “foamy confectionery water”! Even after it has spread all over the mouth, the sweet extract remains for some time inside, giving an indescribable taste euphoria, which makes one want sweets more and more! Fu-fu, this is just an ordinary candy, however, they are proud of it in Al Mar and it can hold in itself as much as the sea depths... by inflating a sweet bubble with a little mana, you can put in it "your feelings"! If the sweetness that carries the girl’s personal feelings falls into the mouth of her beloved man, he unconsciously acknowledges the favor of the lady, and the distance between them will be reduced...! There are many couples who like to feed each other with bubble candies, sending them to each other. Just look at this number of candy bubbles! It seems like they, without saying anything, pass onto each other their love! This is so much like kisses! And since the magic energy of your partner interferes in the bubble for this, they say that it will taste like a kiss! As you know, this is a taste that I do not know yet and really want to try!
Oh, but at the same time, I, as a girl, can’t talk loudly about such things, although it may just be my strong delusions, I want this, I want you to do it! It’s also possible to put an obscene desire in a bubble! While I give advice, take a straw, confectionery water and try to make some sweets! Well, if the desire is too radical or strong, then it will be difficult to place it in a medium-sized bubble. Therefore, you cannot express your feelings well if you can only inflate small bubbles. You still have a lot to learn, but to adjust the size, you must first control the intensity of breath...
If you are interested, then just go to the ship-shops for the supplement! Among them there are many bubbles sweetshops, and the jars of foam inside are very carefully thought out and each is decorated with beautiful and cute things! And for mamono who do not know how to honestly express their feelings for a guy, a special foamy confectionery water with obscene seasoning was also created in collaboration with the radicals. It’s called “I want my boyfriend to do this!” and it’s easy to put extremely depraved desires in it.
Well, let's stop advertising at this place... and finally move on to the practical use of this special confectionery water...♥
No, please don’t avoid the bubbles this time and eat them correctly♥
It's alright because they are really delicious♥
Yes, this little side effect makes me love sweets even more♥
Viaduct of Love (p33)
Spoiler
Well, now we have reached one of the largest waterways of Al Mar! Oh? How great, it looks like we can get a good look at everything!... Please excuse this, we have to stop the gondola for a while! Do you see that there is a man on the right bank of the waterway? And on the opposite side there is the merchant Gyoubu Danuki! In such cases, it happe-e-e-ens!
Yes, this is accompanied by some shaking, so please grip my body tightly! Mmm, okay, you can wrap your hand around my thigh tighter♥ 〜Yes! This is how a huge bridge appears in front of you across the waterway! This is one of the attractions of the La Earle waterway, that emerges from the water, it is known as the connecting Bridge of Love♪
On both sides the locals rush to pass as it ties the shores... Fu-fu-fu, feel free to hug me further while the viaduct is on our way... ♥ ...that sweet kiss was good... you will surely be a wonderful husband♥
This bridge is holy and, as the name suggests, it is capable of connecting lovers! It is said to have been created by the Goddess of the Sea, Poseidon, for lovers who were once separated due to differences in status. Usually this bridge is sunk to the bottom of the sea. Nevertheless, if a couple well compatible with each other, in other words "a man and a woman that should be together", stand opposite each other on different banks, then this big mechanism will appear from the water to unite them! In fact, this bridge is a tourist attraction that competes for the first or second most popular destination in Al Mar. Therefore, residents of Al Mar usually lure or direct lonely "restless" male tourists to one side, and lonely human women and monster girl tourists are brought to the opposite so that they form a strong permanent monster couple♪ For the same reason, this is a very popular place not only among men, but also among lonely mamonos who just cannot get close to a man in the center of the bridge, and those who cannot be honest with a man... Often this bridge is visited by high rank monsters with very proud characters, such as vampires or dragons! Just the other day, I saw a nervous vampire standing here and saying: "W-well, I don't believe this will really happen unexpectedly...but I'm interested in seeing this bridge created by the Sea Goddess." But when her fateful man appeared on the opposite bank and the bridge rose, she blushed and, staggering from side to side, moved forward... I personally saw her smiling happily♪
Of course, bringing couples together so that they hold hands together is an important job for us Song Maidens and all the people of Al Mar! Fu-fu-fu, it looks like the couple that we saw earlier are now also holding hands. Let me go and I will sing a love song for this couple! Please, dear client, give me your applause♪
Gondola Shop-Ship Division (p34)
Spoiler
This lovely Al Mar! When I get to this ship-shops market, I am always glad I was born here! Check out these colorful stores that stretch endlessly along the most distant waterways! Along the Waterway of Fountain Street, the Temple of Sea Poetry, Al Mar Square and many others... this applies not only to Al Mar, but to the entire Court Alf, but I think, the home of my heart and that place, where my soul wishes to return - these are the rows of ship-shops! The blood of one of Al Mar's daughters is boiling in my veins! Look, in addition to the bubble pastry shops I mentioned earlier, there are many stores that sell classic Al Mar snacks, as well as many magical item stores that harness the power of water! Oh, that long line is lined up at the merchant ships "Dé Ryúa", whose goods enrich the lives of monster couples! Fu-fu-fu, not only Al Mar's ships have moored in these rows of ship-shops, there are many shops from other islands who came here for trade! Until now, I have hidden from you that the Al Mar shopping area is number one in the whole of Court Alf! This is the place where you can find and purchase most of the possible items in the country! Here you can find not only unique products from all seven islands, but also products from beyond this sea! After all, gondolas are rented here and various shops are also opened by merchants who have come from abroad Court Alf. Therefore, not only we, residents of Al Mar, but also residents of other islands, regularly visit the malls to enjoy shopping!
In addition, the association of street vendors from the area, in collaboration with us, the Al Mar tourist guides, prepares one huge ship once a month, inside which they collect various goods from these shops. In this "Huge Travel Shop" we are scheduled to visit every island! This ship is driven by us Song Maidens, and together with Diva Arial we sing for people who cannot often visit Al Mar, because they are busy flirting with their husbands; for couples who are jealous of other islands and cannot come to Al Mar. Thus, we can provide them with the same opportunity to visit the stalls, look at the goods and have fun picking good things for themselves.
Eh? Of course I help too! Even now I am a very successful Al Mar Song Maiden! Fu-fu-fu, since we have resolved this issue, then let's get to know the stores that are properly elegant and truly established, and some of the souvenirs that are the highlight of Al Mar.
By the way, what do you think about the fact that all these stalls showcasing the life of our Al Mar originally started with just one gondola? Its owner was Vincent - the oldest street vendor and glassmaker. He initially visited Al Mar in search of work as a mercenary, and later became known as one of the most famous people of Al Mar. However, he was fascinated by the island's beautiful cityscapes and the “glassware” that the mermaid craftswomen made with all their hearts. Vincent put his sword aside and, along with the mermaid who would become his wife in the future, studied and devoted himself to the manufacture of "Marian Glass" - the art of glass processing, which has been passed on in Al Mar since ancient times. The incident when you encounter a mermaid and change your life is somewhat reminiscent of a moment from the famous in Al Mar "Legend of the Mermaid Princess"! Both of these stories are famous, but there are also many other stories in Court Alf about how a man and a little mermaid meet and both change through their love...! Love is able to gently embrace the heart of anyone, both human and monster, and it has a miraculous power to change this world!
In any case, Vincent continued to make Marian Glass, even in spite of the growing military situation at the time. He displayed his beautiful glass pieces on a small gondola and showed them to many people on this waterway, turning in his creations, and telling, not only about the pristine beauty of their country, Al Mar, but also of other islands. He pioneered new trade routes between the Court Alf Islands and other countries, not to mention the routes between the seven islands. Day by day, the number of ship shops increased, which began with his small gondola. The ships of his comrades, the people who supported him, gathered on this waterway, and when the seven islands were united into one country called Court Alf with the help of the Great Diva, then, being the largest shopping area in Al Mar, this place was established in its current form.
Marian Glass (p35)
Spoiler
Oh! As you can see, this beautifully patterned glass is made from Marian Glass, which is now one of the synonyms for the Al Mar glass industry! And it took Mr. and Mrs. Vincent a long time to make this wonderful dish, because they carefully engrave the drawing by hand, carefully and slowly introducing magical power into the glass! In other words, this is a work of art that cannot be mass-produced, and none of them are like the others! Now, if you look at some of the Marian glass products nearby, you will see that the inscriptions and patterns on them obey certain patterns. In fact, Marian glass can be roughly divided into seven types! Seven...
...Yes it is! The samples are engraved with designs representing each of the seven islands! From the very beginning, when Vincent started making Marian glass, he also looked at other islands besides Al Mar, and his idea was to engrave the splendor of each island as a template for patterns on his products!
Vincent described the Seven Islands as seven beautiful patterns, each of which is delightful and at the same time succeeds in expressing a different beauty for each island. And if you put together seven products of Marian glass of different styles, then the resulting composition will be even more beautiful! It seems that Vincent opposed the war of the seven islands and he had his own thoughts and desires on this score! This desire was captured by this glass and passed on to people who were fascinated by his art. In truth, there are many people who do not like hostile nations who are at war with each other. And by the looks of it, there are plenty of people out there who can currently choose patterns for their countries or smuggle all seven types of glass across borders! Marian glass, originally designed by Mr. and Mrs. Vincent, is now being made by various artisans. And even if the images on these glass items represent the same seven islands, the reflection of these seven islands placed in the glass will vary depending on the master who made it. In other words, this glass is not limited to just seven types of patterns, and even the existing seven basic types will carry the individual differences of each master. Of course, there are people who buy seven glasses from the same master in one store, and there are those who, for example, after buying a good glass with a picture of Al Mar in this store, then in another store they choose Marian glass with a picture of another island made by another master...
...I think it is very good that these glass products are not only beautiful and practical, as you can see, but also bring people together, allowing them to find a common point of view! Even in Al Mar you cannot get married alone! The endless story of love and blessing begins only when you and the person with whom you are destined to meet, "find yourselves together", as I met with you so that I could lead you, dear client, across this great sea!
Hey, we weren't forcibly linked to each other! It has been a long time since the beginning of my story, but, as I said earlier, this glass is created with magical power. You didn't think it was only used for the beauty of a glass product, did you? Each properly engraved island pattern is a magical tool with amazing power! Fu-fu-fu, I will tell you more about each of the glass products that interest you.
[First Song Island of Blessing, Al Mar]
Pattern: bubbles and mermaids
This emerald blue glass with bubbles and mermaids on it represents Al Mar! If you pour water into this Marian glass dish, it will be instantly cleaned, no matter how dirty it was. The water will miraculously turn into the "purified water" of Al Mar! Even in the Court Alf trade, this glass is a subject of great attention. Although, Al Mar glassware is often donated to regions where water quality has deteriorated due to environmental destruction due to military conflicts or natural disasters. Moreover, this glass not only purifies the water, but also blesses it! People and monsters who drank the water poured into such a glass will cleanse their bodies and can quickly remove any pollution from their mind and body. In other words, the body will be full of pure spiritual energy, free of any impurities, and the purified heart will be full of love and sexual thoughts about your partner... It is customary in Court Alf to use these glasses before an important confession or intercourse with a spouse. Now that you've met me, how about drinking some of this water as a toast?
[Second Song Island of Joy, Matori]
Pattern: Wind, ships and Sirens
Beautiful glass, painted white and yellow or white and pink, is the pattern that depicts the Second Island of Song, Matori♪ Unlike Al Mar, the Matori Island has a deep connection with "ships" since ancient times. Since this was an island where many of the Sirens of the ship's guides can be found, the ships and Sirens are depicted in the pattern as well. Fu-fu, this Matori glass shows its true value when a pair of glass products are next to each other. Let's take these two glasses and fill them with water for example♪ Like this! Can you hear this clear and beautiful tone?
Yes, this is what the Matori "Weeping Glass" glass hides! The water-filled Matori Marian Glasses resonate with each other, making a beautiful sound! We now had two Matori glasses, but now let's replace one of them with an Al Mar glass...
...Yes, now the whole street is resonating! By combining glasses from different islands, you can also play other tones. A pair of high quality Matori glasses are said to sound especially beautiful, one made by the husband and the other by his wife. These glasses are created using a special technique, during which spouses share their mana with each other. You can even manipulate the atmosphere of a place with these beautiful sounds, just like the voices of the Sirens do!
Fu-fu, how about...putting those glasses in your bedroom on your honeymoon? Isn't it great, while the surface of the water plays a mesmerizing melody, enjoy intercourse in a romantic setting♥
By the way, depending on the season, couples in Court Alf can decorate the windows of their house with these glasses and enjoy their sound. In addition, once a year, there is a festival when two gondolas filled with glasses of this type are launched along the La Earl waterway. The gondolas are allowed to sail slowly with the current of the water. On this day, the music of the resonating glass seems to spread over the surface of the water and envelop the whole city with melody. Then, the normally busy waterway La Earle path dies down as it is customary to spend this fantastic evening as a wet and quiet night at home with your beloved!
[Third Song Island of Passion, Nevia]
Patterns: roses, men and women hugging each other, etc.
Made to order and has its own motive!
Among the many Marian glass items, glass items with the Nevia pattern are particularly attractive. The main theme of this pattern is the silhouettes of men and women who exchange passionate hugs and are framed with red roses. This glass is already filled with water and rose petals have been floating in it from the moment it was put on the counter. This demonstrates the magic of this glass, which "will never let the flowers die"♪ If you regularly change the water in a product made from this glass, then the flowers in it will never fade!
This power originates from the magical powers of the land of Nevia, the island of passion and opera. In the waterways of this region, you can also find floating flowers in different places, which also never die! This is a beautiful product filled with emotions, and, at first glance, it can be exported to human countries as a useful magical item, so that the flowers do not fade in the water. However, care must be taken when using this glass product. This Marian glass creates water that carries the magical power of Nevia passion, and the flowers that float in this water absorb mana from it. Because of this, they eventually turn into "Flowers of the Mamono Realm", which release mamono mana outward. The transformation of colors is very slow and there are no cardinal changes with them, therefore it is incredibly difficult to notice this transformation. It often happens that a human girl who loves flowers and uses a product made of this glass turns into a mamono, which is beautiful like the flowers that she loved so much. Through flowers, this glass envelops the place next to it with the power of passionate monster girls. And if you want to decorate the bedroom with flowers, which is a place for intercourse for a couple, then the effects of the glass will increase significantly! Plus, presenting Nevia glass products to a monster woman who is usually quiet, it will be a great attempt to get a glimpse of her passionate and sexy side♥
[Fourth Song Island of Courage, Saida]
Patterns: Thunder, Storm and Irregular Cracked Images
This glass is next! This Marian glass is made by mixing it with the "thunderstones" that can be obtained in Saida. During the production stage, magical power is channeled over and over into the tube and sticks. As a result, cracks are naturally engraved on the product, reminiscent of flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. They can be clearly seen if you cover such a glass with both hands at night: in the dark, these cracks from time to time emit a light of light purple, green or blue color!
Well, as for the effect... um, when a man drinks... well... It's faster to find out yourself than to explain! Take a sip!
So... Ah, you got so big, it's already a bit too much for my crotch... Client, what do you think of this now?♥
In other words, when you pour water into this glass, it turns into spicy soda water. When a man drinks it, he will have a powerful erection and arousal, which will not go away until they are properly eliminated♪ This effect is almost the same as that of the natural lightning of Thunderbirds, many of which live on Saida Island. The echo of their courage carries over into the bursting bubbles of carbon dioxide, which makes you, the client, probably consumed with a strong urge to lash out at me♥
When my beloved spouse is in front of me, who wants to attack me... my heart beats so hard: Bump-bump-bump, Bump-bump-bump, that I want to give up everything and as soon as possible entwine my body with him and reach orgasm... Such basic feelings... I don't want to stop them at all...♥ Be sure, if a woman like me just takes a sip from this glass, then my heart will beat so loudly, as if it is about to jump out of my chest♥ Yes, client, if you don't mind...
Huh? Why are you, the seller, giving him neutralizer-water?! This is not at all like alcohol and your good intentions are not helping at all! Also, isn't this disrupting my work!? Perhaps my client lost his only chance to taste this water in the city of waterways! Kuh...
...Em? Is this the only reason? Well, these drinks are often served in Saida's concert hall...because a lot of loving couples of men and mamono, while the music is playing, are busy with pleasurable things! Even inexperienced monster girls like me recommend products made of this glass, because with even a little bit of courage, you can easily achieve communication with your beloved! Why don't you try another glass of courage then?♪
[Fifth Song Island of Hope, Mira]
Pattern: Water surfaces, grapes of a characteristic dark purple, wine-like color
Have you ever heard this phrase: "Satyr's wine in the glass of Mira"? Celebrating the deep purple color of this wine, this Marian glass is the most famous of the seven Marian glasses.
This glass can only be made with the help of elementals that live on Mira, the Island of Hope. When you drink monster realm wine, any brand of it, from a glass, which is considered the best, then the blessing of the elemental who participated in its creation will be added to the mild "feeling of intoxication", which will raise the pleasure of wine in this glass to the maximum.
For example, if you drink a strong mamono realm liqueur, beloved by Amazons and Salamanders, which brings powerful heat and excitement to your body, then the Ignis' blessing will make the liquid flame sensations even stronger! If you are fond of Lescatie's mamono realm wine with its soft and rich texture and a pleasant feeling of intoxication into which you will fall forever, then the blessing of Undine will give you a deeper sense of euphoria, as if the wine invites you to a dream from which it is impossible to awaken. Also, if you like to go to bars and sip on light mamono realm cocktails and compare their tastes, or prefer the refreshing taste of white mamono realm grape wine, or enjoy the drinking process itself, then simply pour water into this glass and drink it. Then the blessing of the Sylph will fill your entire body with a feeling of freshness. Conversely, when you want to enjoy local booze, which in some way "took root in this land", then, having received the blessing of the Gnome, the taste of local alcohol will firmly linger on your tongue for a while and so on. In fact, drinkers will start drooling at this point! And this is not an exaggeration at all, these glasses are a real gem!
There are many shops that specialize in the sale of Mira glasses, and, depending on the product, even "branded" Marian glasses are made for customers so that they can better enjoy certain brands of mamono realm wine!... It looks like the possibilities of the Mira glass are really deep! Naturally, products made from it are very popular among monsters who love alcohol, including Satyrs! A goblet from Mira glass is the best gift for them! Those who like to enjoy mamono realm alcohol with their beloved will naturally buy a glass of Mira without hesitation♪
[Sixth Song Island of Love, Dé Ryúa]
Pattern: Curved lines depicting whirlpools and waves
Of the seven Marian glasses, the Dé Ryúa glass should be treated with the same care as the Nevia glass! A picture of raging waves, engraved on the surface of the glass, looks like the painted waves are really moving. And they say that if you just take a glass in your hands, then the charming charm of Dé Ryúa will attract you like a whirlpool!
This glass has the ability to turn water poured into it into an aphrodisiac. If you drink this water before sex, you will be swallowed up in a maelstrom of greater pleasure. Even if you only take a sip, your love for your spouse will overwhelm you, like breaking a dam. Ultimately, you will be driven by unstoppable feelings of ecstasy and euphoria for the partner in front of you. Seeing nothing but her, you will only desire to make her yours! I think one sip will throw you into such a radical passion! If the mamono took that sip, she would be overwhelmed with pleasure so strong that her ego would hardly be able to contain it. If a human girl takes this sip, then, as expected, she will instantly become a mamono. And no matter how pure this girl is, if the power of this glass is used, she will become just as a lustful mamono, like the monster girls from the street of flowers Dé Ryúa, who do not know the word 'no'! And what you really need to be careful about is that the glass itself has Dé Ryúa's "magical charm" power! If water has been poured into it, then due to the influence of seduction magic, you will certainly want to drink from it! If you are looking for these magic glass products, please be careful with them! Marian glass collectors often turn into mamonos and incubi because of Dé Ryúa glasses♪
[Seventh Song Island of Serenity, Queen Diana]
Pattern: drawings of coral, fish and underwater scenery
Yes! On this Marian glass goblet, the pattern of the island of the seventh song Queen Diana depicts the seabed! This item borrows the power of the Kraken who lives on Queen Diana, so by pouring water into this glass, you can create Kraken ink, with which you can create a pseudo-night space around you! This product is popular not only in Court Alf, but also among races such as Liches, Dark Mages, and Sabbath witch groups. Bowls made of this glass are often used by mamono during magical rituals♪ Of course, this glass can be used for more than just creating darkness!
It is noteworthy that if a man and a woman drink the water poured into this glass, then they will be able to see each other even in the darkness created by them! Fu-fu-fu, if you use this item, then even in the alley over there, even in the corner of the store...a man and a woman who love each other can have intercourse in private♥
If you want to relax a little during the sightseeing tour of Court Alf, then you do not need to wait until you return to the hotel! The established monster couple can also buy a product made of this glass with pleasure! Queen Diana's peaceful darkness will give them their special time tet-a-tet♪
Cathedral of Blessing (p40)
Spoiler
Ah, now you can see it! The end point of the La Earle waterway, a snow-white temple standing quietly in the middle of this open canal, the Cathedral of Blessing, which is the “Great Scene” of Al Mar! Most of the islands have objects that are designated as "Great Scenes". For example, on the island of Matori, this is the Matori Ship-Concert Hall, and at Nevia, the Grand Theatre Nevia! On any island, a place designated as a "Great Scene" is visited by many people...rather, on the contrary, a place is designated as a "Great Scene" due to the fact that it is visited by many people. And for Divas and Song Maidens, one of the most important tasks is to sing songs on the Great Scene! We Song Maidens of Al Mar remember to bless many couples in this place. In the end, even just one maiden is enough to sing a song on her own and begin the ceremony♪
Along with the Temple of Sea Poetry, the Cathedral of Blessing is one of the most famous wedding halls and is also very popular as a venue for ceremonies! In the Temple of Sea Poetry, the newlyweds are directed to the Diva in a sacred setting, while in the Cathedral many Song Maidens gather in a circle around the gondola in which the couple floats. It is also customary in Al Mar to join the Song Maidens, who continue to accompany the couple throughout the city! This makes the wedding very lively! And of course, the newlyweds will receive blessings from the many mamono who went to the channels to see the ceremony. All residents who love holidays and feel in good spirits rush to the small islands around this Cathedral to congratulate the bride and groom♪ I would like you to listen to the dashing “seaman song” sung by the fishermen of Al Mar at least once with the groom, taking him from under the arms♪ In addition, in the Cathedral of Blessing they sing not only for the bride and groom, we sing songs to monster couples of tourists and even for couples of human spouses to celebrate their meeting and family happiness again! In Al Mar, as a place full of wonderful memories, if you can feel happiness from the fact that you have a loved one next to you...then I, as one of the inhabitants of the island, will be very proud of it!
It seems that the wedding of the mermaid and her husband is going on right now! Oh look... Hello~! The bride and groom waved at us!
Are you saying that you looked closely at this mermaid and noticed that this is one of the Song Maidens that we saw recently? Well, um... The Song Maidens of Al Mar are often married to their male tourists...it's no wonder that the maiden who previously moved next to us is in such a bright place! I am so happy and very envious! Should we ever have a wedding in this place? Ah, it looks like the maiden bride is about to throw a coral bouquet! Let's come closer♪
Magic Sea Coral Bouquet (p40)
Spoiler
Magic_Sea_Bouquet_of_Coral.jpg
Oh!? It looks like luck has turned away from us, client... I hope the bouquet will sail to us one day! In Court Alf, it is customary to make bouquets of magic sea corals from the island where you were born and raised. Each such bouquet of the brides are made by hand. However, if you are a foreigner, then you can use the corals of the island that you like best. With all the love, the bouquet is created from beautiful corals of different bright colors that look like sea rosebuds♪
Traditionally, such a bouquet is thrown into the sea during a wedding, just like that monster couple had just done. And lonely people can get it! Long-lived coral, also known as magic sea corals, grows well using magical powers. Even from one torn off "flower", it can eventually grow into a full-fledged plant. Therefore, in Court Alf, many beautiful magic sea corals bloom around the houses of monster couples that are located on or under the water. The couples, through whose love their underwater homes were completely covered with colorful corals, are a special example for other pairs of monsters... They have intercourse so much, every day and night, that so many corals have sprouted near their home! Of course, such lonely mamono like me envy them!
In any case, since magic sea coral grows from the magical power generated by the intercourse of a couple, it has the property of being attracted to anything that can become the source of its growth... Therefore, magic sea corals, released in the form of a bouquet, will move to the monster girls and people who in the future will produce a lot of magical power and feed them for further growth! That is, the corals are feeling the signs that the couple will soon be having intercourse...which is a prerequisite for marriage! Even being in sea water, the bouquet will float to such a couple! In other words, there is no doubt that the mamono, having acquired the Magic Sea Coral Bouquet, will soon be engaged in love affairs! That is, she will find her prince in order to engage in a sweet, depraved life! It is very important! This is the iron law of Al Mar. According to tradition, the one who received such a bouquet must grow it and multiply the corals to return them to the sea! And to grow corals, you need to actively cover your skin with the seed of a man who loves you passionately! What? This is not delusional and a lie! This is a true story...!
Ah-ha-ha! How to say... Well... Here it is! I can't help it, I caught him♥
This experience... How good!♥
Oh yes! Since this has happened, then let's head to the place where we will lift your spirits! Please enjoy my special place♪
Nameless Hill (p41)
Spoiler
Eh, time goes by so fast... it's starting to get dark. This hill I wanted to show you for last♪ From here you can see the view of Al Mar, painted in the colors of the sunset♪ This small hill is a hidden dating place, imperceptible, but known to everyone. It is often visited by couples.
I spent the whole day with you today, and at the end I thought I could bring you here. For us, each Song Maiden in Court Alf, have such a "special" place. For example, a quiet hill outside the city with a view of it, like mine, a small pretty bridge at the end of a winding waterway, a glade in a flower garden behind the Water Temple - all these places are not known as tourist attractions...
...This is such a special place that I want more than anything to show the client with whom I spent the whole day.
The Song Maidens consider these places to be the best in Al Mar, and therefore we want our clients to see them, so that they will love this island even more after seeing these landscapes.

Yes, we Song Maidens direct our clients to different places to get to know this island better...
...Of course, I also want you to like our island. However, the longer we guide you on the tour, the more we ourselves want to get to know the client better. And at some point, we wish not only to talk about the island, but to talk about ourselves, so that you, the client, look at me, so that you know everything about me... And, of course, we wish to sing a song about the feeling of love coming from from our very hearts♪ That I met you as my first client, that you chose me among all the other Song Maidens...
...Yes, I still believe that the meeting with you as my client was directed by the Sea Goddess.
It seems like this whole long day flashed by in an instant, doesn't it? Was I good as a guide? Uuu... It was a little embarrassing after all?
I was so happy when you, the client, were there...and I never felt like this... I think I was dizzy with excitement. If the client wishes, I will do my best to be more like Miss Arial next time!
So...if this doesn't annoy you, will you give me another chance? One more, and the next, and then another, for the rest of your life...
...No, I want you to hold my hand, only you, while I drive the gondola myself!
Yes? Really!? Ah, I... I've never worried as much as I do now... I hope you're not lying to me for a little revenge? You can't lie to me! A-ha-ha... now... um... well, I'm very happy...♥
Although, I did lie about something. This is not a dating place, which anyone knows about...probably no one is here right now and I'm sure no matter what I say, no one will hear it...and no one will notice whatever we're doing here... So... can you tell me more about yourself now?♥

As I recall we determined on the previous site from the word used in Japanese that what Poseidon did to Difina was reincarnate her rather than a resurrection (though the result was the same), so I updated the wording here accordingly.

I wish we have more info about Poseidon's ability to resurrect a mamono as an undine. Can she does it as long as she want, or it require some condition like being her devotee?

It also make me wonder if other elementals can be born the same way, and if so, retaining the non-human features like Difina still has her mermaid tail?

Hmm... I read through all history section of the seven islands, and it looks like Caspar's machination during his time as Al Mar's king was a major factor of the Great War, even if the text downplayed it.

Notable, this is the only part that explains how Mira, which was an isolated nation despite its denizens lossed their way, came to conflict with Saida (although Saida had many grudge against everyone else already).

I think the closure of food exports from Mira itself was also a factor. Saida is extremely poor in natural resources (except for one spice) and they only get food from outside sources. This was also a factor in their entry into the war. One thing led to another.
