The Hero, who had been listening attentively, also became serious.
Fortunately, the other self had gone out to pick up equipment, so there were no mocking voices chattering in her mind. The girl's emerald eyes blinked unblinkingly, focusing on the Pope's words, and her eyes gradually began to shine with a sense of mission.
'The Mermaid's Brave Warrior—'
Although it was also because the other self was out that the Hero's emerald eyes were only faintly tinged with blue, unable to start the transformation, the Siren Princess and the Sea Moon Demon's strength seemed to be conveying something to her.

Seeing the Hero's serious attitude, the Pope also showed a comforting smile.
"I suppose you've noticed the reason why I can only stay in the Cathedral.
"Even though I am revered as the Pope and have never slacked in my cultivation, there remains a qualitative gap on the soul level between myself and the Great Demon. But relying on the rank of the Eternal Holy Sword, even if unable to truly wield that power, just by staying here, I can always maintain my own bottom line, not losing myself completely."
As time passed, the midday sunlight gradually became intense, pouring down through the dome, refracting into warm golden beams on the crystal of the dusk, illuminating the vast space. The magnificent chapel seemed to wear a thin golden dress, filled with a serene and holy atmosphere.
"And it is here that I received this inspiration: relying on the Hero's strength to suppress the Great Demon's erosion, digesting the toxins remaining in the soul. Although in theory, the power of the Hero is not exclusive to humankind, when facing the Deep Sea Demon, we humans are indeed at a significant disadvantage—"
The Pope looked relieved at the determined gaze of the Hero, feeling that the long-standing darkness finally saw the dawn.

"So I hope you can, as a predecessor on the Hero's path, go—"
"I understand! Leave it to me!"
Before the Pope could finish, the Hero jumped up, clenched her fist tightly, and a fiery light danced between her fingers.
"I will go to sea and kill that Great Demon! Rest assured!" the Hero promised with an overwhelming momentum.
The Siren, Hero, Sea Moon Demon, and even the ancestors who were sailors, all were connected to herself and the Great Demon,
and with the Pope speaking up to this point, the Hero's blood surged, feeling it was her unshirkable duty.
But seeing the slightly dazed expression of the old Pope, the Hero furrowed her brow, as if she realized something was amiss.

As she raised her fist with great momentum, a fleeting light flashed in the Hero's eyes, and previously overlooked information flashed across her mind.
A Nun also living in the guesthouse guarding the far sea Isolated Island, and just recently feeling a familiar sense in the plaza besides the Noble Lady...
"...Did I misunderstand?"
After a few seconds of silence, the Hero withdrew her fist and sat back down, lowering her previously raised head to look at her toes.
"Ahem, well, it's not exactly wrong."
Seeing the Hero clutch the hem of her nun's clothes tightly with her hands in shame, the Pope lightly coughed, considering the girl's emotions.
"I know you have strength originating from the Siren, which is why I want to ask you for help. Actually, if possible, I also hope to entrust this matter entirely to you.
"But after all, the Great Demon is in the Deep Sea, which is not the realm of humans, and facing its threat is not truly on us.
"Although we and the Sirens are in a tooth-and-lip relationship, we have not even formed an alliance and can't do much."
The Pope spoke gravely again.
"So, Hero, I hope you can go and help this generation's Siren Princess. She should already be in the Holy City, accompanied by the Nun from the Isolated Island."
"I hope you support her so she can successfully pass the Church's transformation ceremony to become a Hero like you."
