Tsunami.

This is a phenomenon where long waves of sea water become abnormally high and reach the coast due to rapid tectonic changes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.

It is a common theme in disaster movies, and it is also a disaster that occurs often in reality.

When you see it in a movie theater, you can feel its hugeness, grandeur, and fear. However, the tsunami felt directly with all five senses was beyond imagination.

Vibration coming from the ground. The chirping of countless birds. The tsunami silenced the screams coming from all directions in an instant.

Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!

[You need to come to your senses.]

I lost consciousness due to the shock of the tsunami, but came to my senses when the sound of the swinging bridge app echoed in my head.

In an instant, the water that could not be called the sea as it swept away everything came into view, and my deaf ears began to hear the sound of chaos becoming more and more clear.

First of all, I reawakened the senses of my body.

I can feel Haruka holding on tightly. Fortunately, I didn’t let go.

Realizing that I had no chance of survival if I continued to be swept away like this, I held on to Haruka as tightly as I could with one hand, then released my other hand and stretched out my hand as I could.

Debris left by the tsunami hit my hands threateningly, but I paid it no heed and waved around to see if there was anything I could grab.

thud!

A shock felt in the back.

“Ugh!”

As I was swept away by the tsunami, I hit my back against a large, strong pillar. The impact nearly weakened my hands, but I gathered all my strength and held Haruka, wrapping my two weak, shaking legs around the pillar.

It was difficult to open my eyes or control my body due to the extremely strong current, but with the pillar in front blocking me, I managed to get up.

“Fuha! Ugh! Wow! Cough!”

It seems like if I relax just a little bit in the still strong current, I will float away. He had Haruka, who had not yet come to his senses, pressed against a tree, which was a solid pillar, and hugged both Haruka and the tree at the same time.

It was hard to get my mind together as I suddenly exhaled the breath I had been holding until now.

Trembling hands and legs. Sea water rising from your throat every time you breathe. I can’t see well in one eye.

The current continues to come in, and sea water continues to hit your eyes, nose, and mouth.

“Collok. Collock.”

Haruka, who was between me and the tree, coughed and came to his senses.

“Are you okay?”

“Collok. Collock. Oh, it’s okay… Collock.”

Haruka came to his senses by spitting out water, and when he came to his senses, he raised his head and could not believe the reality that was unfolding before his eyes.

“eh…? What the heck is this… What the hell is this… Has a tsunami really come?”

“Yes. Hold on tight. Because it’s dangerous if you fall from here.”

The scenery changed in an instant. All the pretty and beautiful beaches have disappeared. All I could see now was floating debris, tall trees, little screams coming from around me, and the sound of the current.

I wish it would end like this, but I can see a second tsunami in the distance that betrays my faith.

It wasn’t the end once.

If a tsunami of that magnitude were to come now, it would definitely not be possible to protect it. While I was thinking about how to get through this situation, a tsunami came right before my eyes.

‘How is it so fast!?’

“Ahhhh!”

“Damn it!”

To prepare for the shock, I kept Haruka inside and hugged her tightly.

Kwahiah ahhh !!!

On impact, it was thrown from the tree and swept away by the tsunami.

I lost Haruka in an instant in the fast current.

Various debris from the tsunami hit me in the water, and I was swept away by the current without being able to do anything.

When I came to my senses, I quickly got my head out of the water.

“Huhhh!”

I took a deep breath and looked around.

“Unbeam your tongue! Help me!!!”

Haruka’s young voice was heard loudly in the rushing water. About 100 meters away, Haruka was floating with only her head sticking out and her hand outstretched towards me.

Haruka is floating in and out of the water repeatedly due to the strong current.

I surrendered myself to the current and started swimming forward. The horse wasn’t swimming, it was just floating with the current, and various debris passed by my body, and then something hit my ankle hard.

“Aaaah!”

Coincidentally, that ankle was the one I had injured at the last mountain lodge.

The distance from Haruka is not getting closer at all. The speed at which Haruka raised his head from the water was gradually decreasing. It means losing strength.

In a situation where my life would be in danger if I were to be late any longer, I shouted when I saw a large piece of debris in front of Haruka.

“Come to your senses! Grab the debris in front of you!!!”

Did you hear my voice? Haruka hit a large piece of debris and barely managed to grab it with his hands.

I quickly let go of the current and approached Haruka.

Fortunately, Haruka did not fall into the water as he was caught by a large piece of debris.

The moment they almost reached Haruka, the debris he was holding collided with other debris and Haruka lost his grip.

“Haruka!!!”

Haruka gets swept away by the current.

I turned as best as I could and shouted to find Haruka in the current.

‘shit! shit! The current is so fast! There it is!’

I found Haruka floating helplessly in the current and quickly swam towards her.

I caught Haruka just in the nick of time and drifted away with the current while hugging her.

Fortunately, the current did not get stronger, perhaps because we had drifted to some extent.

Holding Haruka, I swam to a place where the debris would not pile up and float away, and then I leaned against it.

“Heo Eok···. Huh… Huh…!”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Haruka soon came to his senses.

“Collok. Collock. Ahhh!”

As soon as she opens her eyes, Haruka screams and shakes violently. I immediately gave Haruka a strong hug and reassured her.

“It’s okay. are you okay. Haruka is okay.”

“Ah… Tongue unbearable? Is it tongue-in-cheek?”

“Yes. It’s me.”

Haruka is calming down little by little.

“What on earth is going on? Wow, a sudden tsunami…”

I knew a disaster would come, but I never imagined it would be on this scale.

As I looked around, the devastation of the tsunami came into view.

Numerous debris and corpses come into view.

“Thank you. If it wasn’t for tongue-in-cheek… Me, I would have died.”

“It’s nothing. We were able to save it thanks to Haruka not giving up.”

“What should I do now? W-Is it okay for me to stay here…?”

“You never know when a tsunami will come again. It’s best to get away from here as much as possible. But I think it will be difficult as it is now. Let’s spend some time here.”

“Yes. okay. I’ll just trust the tongue-in-cheek!”

==

After some time, the current almost calmed down.

“Let’s move.”

“Yes. Okay.”

I slowly swam through the filled water to find a more comfortable place to rest.

“What are you doing over there?”

The place Haruka pointed to was a building that was completely unlocked. After swimming there, I first lifted Haruka and placed her on the roof of the building.

“Catch your tongue and come up!”

Haruka proudly holds out a hand the size of my palm to me.

“I’ll just accept your heart. Phew… Phew…”

After making a deep sigh, I held on to the creaking body, held on to the rooftop railing with my hands, and lifted my body up.

‘Ugh!?’

I almost went down again due to the sudden pain, but I held on by putting my arms on the roof.

Haruka pulled my clothes to give me some strength, and I used the last of my strength to lift my upper body up onto the building and rolled over, landing on the roof.

“Ha, ha.”

This building must have been filled with water, and there were small pieces of debris.

When I went up to the rooftop and looked at the sky, I saw that despite all the chaos, the sky was very clear.

It was a peaceful day with nothing happening if you just looked at the sky, but if you looked down even a little, it was a tragedy.

“Tongueㅡ Tongue utterance! Blood, blood…!”

While I was taking a breath while looking at the sky, Haruka spoke in an urgent voice.

“Blood?”

At Haruka’s words, I lowered my head and looked at my body, where Haruka’s gaze was directed.

“Mr. ”

An iron bar stuck in the thigh. It was a skewer stick used to put meat on when barbecued.

A pain I had never felt before reached my brain in an instant from my thigh.

After biting my lip until it bled, I grabbed the skewer stuck in my thigh and pulled it out.

Fu shoot!

It’s quite dangerous to pull it out in the current situation, but you can’t wear something like this.

“Tongue, tongue-in-cheek, wait!”

As I was taking a moment to catch my breath from the pain of pulling out the skewer, Haruka took off the short-sleeved T-shirt she was wearing, tore the bottom part, wrapped it around my legs, and tied it tightly as if compressing it.

“To get treatment quickly… Ah.”

I just took off my top. The reason is simple. It was only after the tension was relieved that I became fully aware of my current physical condition.

It was as if the pain came from knowing the wound on my thigh. The pain I feel is showing up in my body right now.

I can’t see well in one eye, so it’s hard to focus, and my ankle, where I hit something earlier, is swollen.

I wasn’t in very good shape, not knowing if the disaster was over yet.

“Uh, how. I was trying to save myself… Tongue, tongue utterance, Lord, you must not die!”

“I won’t die.”

My body definitely hurts more than ever, but it’s not so bad that I can’t move.

Moreover, this place cannot be said to be safe yet, and someone else may be looking for help.

First of all, I plan to get some rest at least to the extent that I am not in any danger.

“Are you okay? Is there anything I can help you with? huh? Oh, the floor is hard!?”

I was wondering if there was anything Haruka could do to help me and was about to tell her to just stay quiet for a bit, when she suddenly came towards my head, carefully raised her head and put her legs between the floor and my head.

“Hehe. It’s a little more comfortable now, right?”

I feel more comfortable, but I feel like I’m feeling guilty.
