âHey, Ryo, wake up.â
ââ¦No, I canât. I canât eat any more cake. Iâm full⦠mumble mumble.â
âYou probably ainât gonna find no cakes here, buddy.â
Was Abelâs statement the deciding factor?
Ryoâs eyes widened, and he literally jumped up.
He looked around.
Beside him was Abel.
The two were on a sandy beach.
In front of them, the sea stretched out.
Behind them was a forest approaching near the coast.
He was wearing his usual robe.
He wore the shoes he received from Dullahan.
Murasame, Michaelâs knife, and his self-made sheath were all there.
The identification plate he was told to always wear was hanging from his neck.
There didnât seem to be any particular problem.
âPhew, thatâs good. It seems like thereâs no fatal problem.â
After grasping the situation, Ryo expressed relief.
âNo, itâs definitely a tough situation no matter how you look at itâ¦â
Abel, by Ryoâs side, seemed unable to agree with Ryoâs opinion.
Thatâs inevitable.
The world is made up of diversity.
There are people with different opinions and ways of thinking, and that basic understanding must always be kept in mind.
âIndeed⦠since I left my usual bag behind, I donât have salt and pepper. That is quite a situation, but I want you to bear with it. Could it be that Abel, having become a king, can no longer bear to tolerate things?â
âItâs not like that! Besides, where even is this place?â
âItâs a beach, you know? Where else could it beâ¦â
Ryo, with a mysterious expression, tilted his head in response to Abelâs unjustifiable outburst.
âYeah, okayâ¦I guess my way of saying it was wrong. Why are we here at this beach?â
âI see. Abel, you donât understand what happened at that time, do you?â
Ryo finally understood why Abel was blurting out such things.
â¦Or at least, he thinks he understood.
âDjinn Garwinâs magic power⦠or rather, magic went out of control. Djinns are good at gravity manipulation magic, right? Since gravity is the bending of space, as a great physicist said, I think space was twisted and we ended up somewhere unknown.â
ââ¦Sorry, I donât get it at all.â
Despite Ryoâs thorough explanation, Abel didnât seem to understandâ¦.
Itâs difficult to make someone understand without fundamental knowledge.
Itâs like trying to make someone who canât do addition and subtraction understand a 10-simultaneous second-order nonlinear partial differential equation. Itâs impossible.
â¦Yeah, I donât understand a 10-simultaneous second-order nonlinear partial differential equation in the first place.
Itâs not something youâd normally solve.
âSo, both of us were sent somewhere far away, is that it?â
âYes, I think thatâs a good way to put it.â
Abel said roughly, and Ryo accepted his words.
âWe need to get back as soon as possible.â
âYeah. But itâs going to be difficultâ¦â
Ryo responded to Abelâs words.
And then, Ryo fell silent.
Even after waiting for a while, Ryo remained silent.
Abel could see that Ryoâs expression was unusually serious, deeply lost in thought.
It was different from his usual pretense of seriousness.
With as long as Abel has been with him, he can grasp that difference.
âWhatâs wrong, Ryo?â
âAbel⦠I think weâre going to have to throw ourselves into a fight that we canât avoid.â
âWhatâs got into you?â
With a serious expression, Ryo said, and Abel tilted his head in response.
Ryo stretched out his arm.
Where he was pointing wasâ¦
âThe sea?â
âYeah. Unless we stay here indefinitely, weâll eventually have to venture out into this sea.â
âYeahâ¦â
Then Abel understood what Ryo was concerned about.
âItâs a different world out there in the sea.â
âYeahâ¦. Itâs said to be a world where people shouldnât venture into, even more so than the forest at night.â
Abel agreed with Ryoâs words.
âNo one can defeat the sea monsters underwaterâ¦â
Abel muttered.
Indeed, thatâs natural.
In an environment completely surrounded by water, attacks with fire magic or wind magic are meaningless.
Even generating stone lances with earth-attribute magic and throwing them⦠would be resisted by the water.
Moreover, the water in the sea is under the control of the sea monstersâ¦
Furthermore⦠thereâs the fundamental problem of how to breathe underwater.
âThatâs why water magic stones obtained from aquatic monsters command astonishingly high prices⦠or rather, theyâre rarely obtained.â
âCome to think of it, we hardly ever hear about water magic stones.â
Abel remarked, and Ryo nodded as he remembered.
Abel spoke while looking at Ryoâs ear.
âThat earring youâre wearing, Ryo, thatâs a water magic stone, but even at that size, it costs a fortune.â
âThis?â
Ryoâs earring was a prototype made by Viscount Kenneth Hayward of the Royal Alchemy Workshop for Abelâs âSoul Resonanceâ.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was a very beautiful earring with a small, blue magic stone embedded in the center.
âThe Royal Alchemy Workshop only receives about two or three of these water magic stones a year. Despite being the institution with the highest priority magic stone distribution within the Kingdom.â
âHo-hoo~.â
It seemed to be a considerably rare piece of equipmentâ¦
Yes, sea monsters sink to the bottom of the sea when defeated.
Thatâs what happened when he defeated the Bait Ballâ¦
They sink to the bottom of the sea⦠not in the shallows, but further down, where itâs deeper.
Certainly, even if they were to defeat sea monsters, it would be impossible to retrieve the magic stones.
âBut⦠if we donât defeat that guy, we wonât be able to leave, right?â
âThat guy?â
âYeah. Our common archenemy.â
âWe have an archenemy?â
Abel tilted his head at Ryoâs words.
âIt easily took control of my magic and sank the ship you were on into the seaâ¦â
ââ¦Oh, the Kraken, huh. Wonder if itâs here too.â
It was off the coast of Rondo Forest.
Itâs uncertain if itâs here.
Of course, it would be a different one, but⦠when crossing the sea, one canât ignore that giant squid.
âOf course, it would be great if it let us pass easilyâ¦. But from what I learned in the Western Countries, Krakens actively attack those who invade their territory. Itâs probably best to consider the possibility of a fight.â
âFor realâ¦â
Even Ryo, who had fought a deadly battle against the legendary djinn, couldnât defeat a Kraken underwater.
Because in the water, he would lose control over water.
What would happen if he lost control over water?
He couldnât defend with .
He couldnât attack with .
He couldnât even swim.
And might even be crushed by the seawaterâ¦.
In other words, he wouldnât be able to put up a fightâ¦.
But they might have to defeat such a colossal opponentâ¦
For Ryo and Abel to survive.
