Soon, with the help of the Ryugu Palace Guards, order gradually returned to the scene.
The wounded were taken away for treatment, while the dead were found by their relatives.
Those with no family were gathered together to be buried later.
As for the Fish-Man who had spouted such outrageous remarks earlier, Ryuboshi, filled with rage after the upheaval, ordered his arrest outright.
Meanwhile, in Ryugu Palace, Neptune and Otohime thanked Randall and Caris over and over.
Had Randall not arrived in time, Fish-Man Island would have been destroyed in this incident.
Although Fish-Man Island had survived, many of its people had been killed.
Even more tragically, two of their sons had lost their lives.

Caris froze, her emotions thrown
