[THANK GOD FOR THOSE FISH INDEED...Totoko actually waves them off cheekily as they push up beneath Choromatsu's arms and drive him up and out of the cavern toward the surface with more strength than they have any right to have. Thanks to Totoko's spell, Choromatsu isn't pushed back by currents...they're able to push him right up through to breach the surface.
Whether Choromatsu is still conscious or not at this point, the trout carry him the rest of the way to some sort of land he can rest on, just to make sure they don't just dump him in the middle of the sea with no actual way to swim to shore.
And back in her cave, Totoko grips the shell with the sea king's son's voice trapped inside, giggling to herself. Things were going to get interesting very soon.]
