In this captain's cabin, which should have been quiet, the sound of a young boy's song filled the air... but his singing, voice, and emotions were not immature; rather, they sounded like those of a captain who had experienced many hardships.

(Good children, come sail with us, let's brave the wind and waves together)

...

How can I describe it? It's a scene that's peculiar no matter how you look at it: a human sitting at a table, looking out the window and singing a rather bold and passionate song, while the siren who should be singing as the "songstresses of the deep sea" are just listening quietly as the audience.

As sirens, their experience was insufficient to fully understand the meaning of these lyrics... but they could roughly grasp that these lyrics were about the sea.

If the Naga and Merfolk are somewhat confused, then the mermaids who can "hear the sound of the sea" can truly feel the emotions conveyed in the songs.

"Mr. Ira, were you ever a pirate?"

The mermaid's murmuring didn't affect Ira's voice, and at that moment, Ira's singing reached its climax—

“……??~”

"..."

"Cough cough..."

After singing the entire song, Ira smiled and looked at the three siren who were still in a daze, asking them, "How was it? It's a new song you haven't heard before, right?"

Because the Siren race enjoys a great reputation in the art of singing, Ira subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with his singing. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Perhaps my singing skills are still lacking."

It might be something like "there are twenty-one grammatical errors," after all, Ira hasn't received any professional singing training, she's just a singing enthusiast who doesn't understand the techniques.

If we were to reminisce about the past, Ira preferred the AI-created "Infinite Playlist" to the songs sung by humans. These were original songs composed solely for a particular person, based on big data analysis of each individual's preferences.

Every song is unique. Perhaps some songs are bound to be similar given the sheer number of songs, but they are still special... And these infinitely many songs happen to be songs that please this person and suit their taste.

This was a huge waste of resources, but at that time... it wasn't an era where resources mattered anymore, and that's why Ira misses the past so much.

However, the mermaid leader was the first to shake her head at Ira's self-doubt. She was still immersed in Ira's singing and denied Ira's denial: "No, Ira, you sang very well."

Ira took the mermaid leader's praise as flattery. He smiled and looked at the sword shark in the pool, watching it nimbly put on and take off its magic armor in a place without even hooks, confirming that the design of the magic armor was indeed correct.

In that case, Wolf can now confidently begin engraving magic runes on a large scale.

"Oh right, I remember someone asking before...when would formal trade and voyages begin?"

Regarding Ira's question, the Naga leader, who had said so before, shrank back and chuckled dryly, saying, "Just saying, just saying, we're not in a hurry."

Ira nodded, smiled, and placed his hand on the other's head. Ignoring the immediate anger on the other's face, he rubbed it and said, "Don't rush. We'll set off after the Silvermoon Tree Court conveys its intentions."

After all, future trade will be a long-term endeavor, unlike previous attempts where a simple notification was submitted and Casiopeia's side casually responded.

At present, a little more negotiation is needed.

"However, the first test voyage is probably just around the corner."

Iraq made that promise.

What language is that?

The human woman asked this question, looking somewhat hesitant as she gazed into the direction of the Demon King's territory. She said, "I could still hear a hint of ancient Celtic language in the song from before."

"That's the song..."

The human woman spoke, demonstrating to Vereesa Ilúvatar beside her: "there~once"
