326 < Chapter 58. Peas Again (4) >

- Tsk.

A small puddle of coral near your feet.

Thanks to this, I went outside the bubble for a moment and buried a lot of seawater in my shoes.

You didn't put any strength in your feet, and the coral was quite firm. The coral was soaked in salt water with just fine shoes and no income. I didn't like it a bit, so this time I hit the sand floor and rolled it a little harder. The white sand is a little loose.

"Did I scare you again?"

But Arniesel asked,

After taking a big look at Arniesel, Kalian realized the meaning of the question only after recalling what he had said when he had just entered the sea. It was because he said, "I was afraid of the sea," with his face as if the view was not pleasant. He asked if he was still afraid of something.

"No."

"Did you say something I didn't like?"

"I didn't say that."

"Or are you mad?"

"I'm not angry."

"But I don't like your face."

"I was grumpy. Only now do I know that the Sispanians made the axis of time."

"It feels good to know what I didn't know."

"More good times, me too. Not now."

Curious eyes.

Rather than worrying about Calian's insides, I realized I was really curious. They are a people who want to know and understand anything.

"There are just times. Just."

Callian, who was unable to explain to Arniesel the Americas that the Sispanians had been hiding the truth, replied roughly.

It is not because of the fact that the Sispanian made the axis of time, but a shallow grudge about things that have not been told so far. Not only did the Sispanians want to punish the soul of the dead for entering the wrong person's body, but they also knew too well who created the axis of time because of Serenti, who quickly fell asleep and fell asleep. I was just grumpy.

"Anyway, I got it. When you get back to Cairys, I'll give it to the Sispanians."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

"Instead."

"· · · · · · · Instead?"

"Let me ask you a question."

Nothing is free in the world.

Arnigel ruined the peaceful viewing of the seas, so you don't have to ask for it. Because of this, Calian's lips were lifted, equitably applying the eternal truth to the Sea Dragon's request.

"Do you know what the great king of Cecretia did on the axis of time in the Crusade? I'm sure there were other uses for it, since they didn't use it to turn back time ahead of the Evil Lord."

There were a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but this was the only question Arnigel could think of. Even though he's acting like a child, Arnigel's been alive since before the Crusade.

Arnigel winces a few times. But I can't hear my voice. Now I can see what's going on just looking at him.

Serenti stopped it again.

Don't tell me the answer.

Arnigel raises his hand and scratches his blue head. Then, I slapped the rock beside him with a fin that was completely like a jewel of radius. You seem to have just learned something from Calian's grudges. Calian opened his mouth, thinking that he had a natural talent for teaching, whether he should smile or frown.

"Never mind. I don't know when and why I built the time continuum, but I'll give it to the king for evil." I'm sure he wrote it himself. "

"No, you. I misunderstood."

Arniesel, who gave up speaking forcefully and held his peace for a moment, said something else.

"The evil gods are the reason the Sispanians built it. But not to fight evil spirits. After all, it was also used to catch evil gods, but it wasn't meant to be."

"Then what?"

"Do you know the first thing the Sispanians did?"

Instead of giving him the right answer, Arnigel asked if he knew what the Civil War had done first. It was also something that Calian knew very well, so finding the answer was not difficult. I've learned so much about the Crusade.

"Protect."

A dragon killed by an evil god. And the other factions. The Sispanians hid surviving subjects. However, there were very few things the Sispanians could hide. Not because of lack of abilities, but because there were not many who survived. Calian's red eyes look forward as he recalls it.

The power to control time.

So the Sispanians.

"No way, to save all the dead."

"It's similar, but I was afraid they'd all die."

In the war against evil gods, we made it our last burial ground in case everyone, including the Sispanians, dies.

"But in the end, I didn't. I couldn't destroy it after the war, but I decided not to use it. Time spent on catching evil gods, not on turning back time. A lot of things have gone missing, but not all of them."

The Sispanians have not resurrected the missing species.

With the celebration of time from the Sispanians, the Great King of Cecretia also used only his strength to fight evil gods. You did not save Bern Neriard, the man who died in the war, his heroes, or his lover.

Time passed after the war.

The Sispanians did not restore the time of the dead Hartsara.

"You can't do that."

Even if I could.

I shouldn't have done it.

I understand why I did not use that power. Even if it all came together and fell into Calian's hands, I didn't have the slightest intention of using it to ruin the time of the destruction. Just like Chase did in the past, and Bern did in the past.

"Yes, I understand. Roughly."

"I'm glad you understand. Don't forget to tell the Sispanians. I want you to tell her."

"Okay, I won't forget."

Arnigel nods.

Then he said with a warm face as if he had relieved one of his worries.

"Thank you."

Arnigel raises one hand.

"See you later, then. Bye."

You shake your hand vigorously at Calian.

And I hid myself. It disappears. Arnicel disappears, not having Calian back on the ship. Leave Callian in the ocean.

Arnigel didn't know. He really didn't know what to call a fish, not revenge. Calian decided to do me a favor, so I lightened my mind, and I forgot because I was excited about how it made me feel.

So this was the ocean, and it was underwater, and human beings don't have gills and fins, and another thing. Callian can't swim.

"· · · · · · · · · · · Ha."

Calian, a face filled with complex emotions, laughs in vain.

The sea water that stopped moving.

Slowly. Time starts to flow again around Calian. At first, the water at the tip of the foot and then the water where it stood moved. The black shadow wags as if a few miles away. The fish that stopped as if they were stuffed in place where the hand could reach, one or two of them flowed again.

The giant bubble of air that holds Khalian turns into a small bubble. Like a large glass ball disappearing from the bottom, it began at the toes of the foot, and soon disappeared around the ankle, calf, and knee, with white air bubbles rising around the neck and toward the sea level.

My toes get wet. The water pours in. I'm shaking. I'm swept away by the currents. The boat that was on top of my head suddenly drifts away from me.

"Damn fish."

He told me not to forget, and I just forgot.

Immediately before the bubble completely disappeared, Khalian, who chose to take a big breath instead of an insult to Arniesel, stomped his feet with all his strength towards the top.

Coffee, bell pepper, grapefruit.

And blue fish on the back.

- Master.

Thinking that there's one more food I hate.

- Master, can you hear me?

There was no answer from Alan.

The time of the ship that was the furthest away from Khalian is not yet spent.

I can't breathe.

* * *

The wind doesn't blow.

Alan stops moving. I noticed that the very slowly blinking eyelid was no longer moving. I realized I wasn't breathing. I also felt that my heart was not ringing. However, I was not frustrated at all.

Obviously you know the feeling of the heart stopping.

The senses of then and now are distinctly different. There's nothing wrong with the heart and lungs. Body is fine.

The eyelid did not move.

I couldn't turn my eyes away. However, it could be seen that the moonlight that illuminated the sea was temporarily hidden from the clouds and brightened again.

It means that the clouds in the distant sky are flowing without problems. The fact that the cloud covered the moon and was passing by it again meant that it only stopped where it was standing.

When I found out about it, I realized.

Someone tied up time around here.

Arnigel, maybe, no. He must have done it.

I don't know if I've ever been blessed with the blessings of a fully educated little brother. If not, we could not know whether this was just a blessing or another reason. But I knew one thing for sure.

I didn't sleep well in my dreams.

- · · · · · · Blinking.

that we can't even accept the discontinuation of time alone in the world.

* * *

I haven't slept in a long time.

I've been hurt a lot before I died.

But I've never breathed in a sane mind. I didn't want to have that experience.

So I stomped my feet with the power of error and poured out the power of the wind. Thanks to you, the moonlight has risen. I saw the waves hit the boat not too far from the surface as it moved. So soon, it was time to go where Alan was.

Until then, it was good. It was good.

'Then again, I sank like this.'

If I had known this, I would have worn lighter clothes.

A prince's garment overlapped with layers is so heavy and ridiculous. Every gold button on the jacket, every cuff with jewelry, all got in the way. It is easy to say that the thing that came up so far started to sink again without bursting into breath.

Kalian moves to the surface once more, using his magic.

Then I suddenly burst into laughter.

If I couldn't use my powers or use my magic without Alan, I came out to watch the sea at night, and I laughed because I thought that I would have almost died by leaving a note saying, "I can play with my brother's whale because of a forgetful giant fish."

When I saw someone like this, I thought you might ask if you were smiling out of the water, but somehow I smiled. He was still holding on, and as soon as he saw the surface move, Alan would wake up. Then we'll get back on the boat without any trouble, so we'll just have to laugh peacefully.

"You get a laugh. Now."

But I heard someone really ask me this.

It's strange.

I see talking seaweed.

It seems like an undergrown seaweed, but something that speaks human language strangles the throat in an evil way.

- Aaaaah!

Then I pulled him out of the water.

Should I thank you for holding my neck up instead of the tip of my head. Brother, I have to ask why you're here. I was sinking, and I was wondering if you were floating on a rope, like frog rice, but were you for real?

I forgot to smile because I was so troubled.

"Breathe. Calian."

A low voice towards Calian tells me what's more important than a smile now.

The closed red eyes opened again.

He breathed as if he were drawing air deep into his lungs. For the first time in my life, I breathed like a man facing the air.

After that, it sank again.

Thanks to that, I held my collar up to the water again.

When I tried to breathe again and again, feeling resentful that the peas were wearing more plump clothes, but I continued to sink by myself.

- Flash!

There is a white light on the giant sailboat.

It was only then that the Great Sage brought them back. I still held my younger son and his brother, who had gone down to the sea first, in one arm and patted his back.

Callian puts his forehead on Alan's shoulder.

Peas again.

The teacher will come anyway, but the peas came alone.

I breathed instead of taking out a long horse.
