episode_0133

Six days have passed.

After passing the ban in a straight line, Deltan moved separately, got into Gerhart’s car, retrieved the sedan, and drove on, arriving at Rahman Beach.

“This is the sea.”

Agnes said.

Her eyes hardly ever left the sandy beach stretching out before her eyes.

It would have to be that way.

Isn’t Agnes the one who lived her whole life on an island in the middle of the continent and couldn’t move because of her weak body?

In other words, for her, it was her first time facing the sea.

“How about it?”

“It’s pretty.”

Agnes took off her shoes and stepped on the sand.

Even then, her gaze never left the rippling sea.

Deltan turned his head and looked at the view she was looking at together.

‘The water is definitely clean.’

This color does not appear often in Earth’s oceans.

The color of the sea is more emerald than deep blue.

The sunlight breaking over the sea surface was dazzling, and the white foam was bubbling.

Even as a Delta person, Lachman Beach was quite an unfamiliar place to the extent that my only visit was a few months ago when I passed by to obtain a deep-sea gem.

“Let’s move forward.”

Agnes held Deltan’s hand.

Deltan snapped his fingers and put his shoes into subspace.

As the two barefoot people walked, footprints were left on the sand.

Shoot, the sound of waves tickled my ears.

“It’s salty.”

“Because it’s the sea.”

“I feel like waking up because of me.”

“The world has a beautiful side when seen from afar.”

“It’s still good.”

Agnes crossed her arms.

Before they knew it, the two had reached the spot where the waves were rolling in.

Waves passed over Agnes’ white feet.

Her toes curled slightly, and at that moment, the corners of Agnes’ eyes rolled up.

“It’s cold.”

Deltan felt Agnes’s hand holding his arm grow stronger.

“Amazing.”

“… Everything is amazing.”

The wind blew.

Agnes’ hair fluttered, and Deltan thought it looked like gold threads blowing in the wind.

It reminds me of a very pretty face.

It was funny how she could make such a face and yet the words she spoke were so evil, but even so, I couldn’t help but be drawn to her beauty.

“Look at the sea, not me.”

Agnes felt the gaze on me and said with a chuckle.

“Or am I prettier than the sea?”

At the words delivered, Deltan momentarily closed his mouth.

It’s a situation where harsh words come out of embarrassment.

But Deltan said something different.

“… Uh.”

Deltan didn’t know if it was because of the atmosphere, or his change of heart.

I just wanted to express my honest feelings, and there was no reason not to say it.

In an instant, Agnes’ eyes opened wide.

My lips part in a daze.

It felt a little erotic to see a glimpse of white teeth.

The Deltan turned his gaze toward the sea, feeling embarrassed later.

I wonder if I said it for no reason.

I even wish Agnes would laugh at me like I’m stupid.

What could be the reason for such a wish?

No words were coming from Agnes.

Even though he felt eyes on me, I couldn’t hear anything, so I wanted to check Agnes’ face right away, but I was worried that I would make a stupid expression, so Deltan just glared at the sea.

“… Yes.”

A small sound was heard.

Immediately after, Deltan felt it.

Agnes tightened her arms a little more and leaned her head on my shoulder.

‘… It doesn’t suit me.’

Why is this happening?

Thump thump, my heart is loud.

*

When I returned from watching the sea, Gerhardt bowed his head in front of the sedan and said,

“The accommodation has been arranged.”

“Where are you?”

“It’s the mansion right above.”

Looking in the direction Gerhart pointed, there was indeed a sizable mansion on a tall cliff next to the beach.

“Who built a house like that?”

“It is said that this is a house built by a dryad who observed mermaids in the past. I heard that the house is now empty and is being let out when tourists rarely come.”

“Really? Buy that.”

“Imperial gold coins are not used in the East… .”

“Then, just headbutt the cash with a gold bar.”

You can smell the money just by looking at it.

At the same time, Henry is busy trying to build a railroad in the East.

With his persistence, the number of failures would be infinitely close to zero, and in the future, this beach would be developed into a decent tourist destination.

‘Land speculation should be done.’

What would happen if they returned to Earth after finishing everything, but that didn’t mean that the Deltans would throw away everything they had gained here.

I did it because I was thinking of Agnes.

Humans are creatures that are quite thirsty for memories.

Even if I take her back to Earth, there will come a day when she misses this place.

‘For that time, we need to leave as much of the base here as possible.’

When Agnes misses her hometown, she will return to the continent.

It would be nice to use that mansion as a vacation home once I return.

“You’re spending so much money.”

“I have a lot of money.”

“I can’t refute what you said because it’s not wrong.”

Agnes let out a small laugh.

Deltan snorted and got into the car.

That’s when I entered the mansion.

Eryl, who came here first and was tidying up, welcomed the two.

“Are you here!”

He was holding a broom in his hand.

A Deltan auto drone was floating next to her.

[Human! The mansion is very spacious!]

[Kokmur! I am an explorer!]

The infantile regressed elf and the idiot giant shout, flashing lights.

Eryl giggled and continued.

“These people helped me organize it!”

[I slaughtered the dust!]

[Kokmur kills dust!]

It wasn’t remodeled for this purpose.

Somehow, the automatic drone became a robot vacuum cleaner.

Deltan looked at the Auto Drone with a face filled with deep emotion.

Then he said.

“… It must be hard for the child to work alone, so help him hard.”

Whatever it is, it’s better than making fun of it.

“Eryl. Have you cleaned the room?”

“Yes! I cleaned out the bedroom and study room first!”

“Great. Brew some tea.”

Deltan held Agnes’ hand and climbed the stairs.

The bedroom was on the top floor of the three-story mansion.

It was a room with a terrace, but there were no curtains, but it wasn’t a big problem.

This is because outside the terrace, there was only the sea.

This was the advantage of a house built on a cliff.

“Deltain, this is a telescope.”

As she said, there was a long telescope leaning on the terrace.

It was a different form from that of Earth.

It looks like magic spells are messily woven into a large cylinder, but you have to increase the magnification a lot to reach 50x.

‘Astronomical telescope.’

It seemed like it was used for that purpose.

What suddenly came to mind was something about giant gods.

‘Did you say you like looking at the stars?’

I live by the beach and love the stars.

It occurred to me that the giant might have lived in this mansion.

‘… ‘Probably not.’

Kokhmur said that the place where the giant lived was a day’s walk from here.

The reason I didn’t find him right away was purely for recreational purposes.

Agnes’ physical strength was not able to withstand much longer after driving all the time, so she settled down in this far away place to rest for a day or two.

‘Let’s focus on resting.’

If you think about it, Deltan hasn’t been able to rest since the day his body changed.

Slowly, mental limitations begin to set in.

Burnout occurs when fatigue that cannot be resolved comes all at once.

It was quite important to prevent such situations through condition management.

“The bed is soft.”

Agnes lay down on the bed.

The expression on his face had been bright ever since he arrived at the beach, which made Deltan feel proud.

“Let’s rest for a bit and eat. Gerhart will clean up the kitchen soon.”

“Yes.”

Agnes said this and immediately fell asleep.

Looks like he was pretty tired.

*

There were quite a few first-class demons caught in the ban.

It probably wouldn’t take a year to eat all of their meat.

Thanks to this, the one who was most excited was Gerhart, who is quite serious about cooking, and was holding onto Eril and getting excited, saying that she would try cooking this meat in various ways.

“Eril, take the bones out of there.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, the front bone needs to be removed separately. It’s good for making broth.”

“Yes!”

Gerhart, who had treated Eril with distrust at first, was now creating a friendly atmosphere as if he completely trusted her.

Deltan sat at the table and quietly looked at the scene.

After this continued for a while, Agnes woke up and came down to the restaurant.

My hair was frizzy.

“… I shouldn’t have woken you up.”

“I was sleeping so well.”

“If I sleep a lot now, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”

Agnes, sitting at the table, smiled.

“Or did you put him to sleep early so that he wouldn’t have to sleep at night?”

From somewhere in a playful voice, a sound of ‘Hibb!’ could be heard.

It was Aryl.

When I turned my head, I saw Eryl with a red face and embarrassment.

“… Be selective with your words.”

“What do you think?”

Agnes shrugged her shoulders as if it was really no big deal.

Where on earth does that gang come from?

For a Delta person, this was a very admirable behavior.

“Please eat.”

Gerhart had already finished cooking and placed the plate on the table.

It was a steak.

The accompanying vegetables were from the elven forest, and the sauce was a demi-glace type sauce that is quite often used in the East.

Do I need to say more about the taste?

It was delicious.

To the extent that he felt that if he were to return to Earth, he would have to take Gerhart with him, even if no one else knew, the Deltan had now become unable to be satisfied with anything other than his cooking.

“Good job.”

“Nothing to say.”

When I finished eating and went back to the bedroom, it was already evening.

Outside the terrace, the pitch-black landscape was filled with stars above the sky, and below, the horizon of the sea was visible, the boundaries blurred by the darkness.

“Uh, there are Jebis and Pobbler.”

Agnes pointed to the beach.

There, Jevis and Pobbler were dipping their feet in the sea with their pants rolled up.

A little later, Galan was squatting with his shirt off.

He seems to be muttering something, and it seems like he is chatting with his wife.

“… Why are they there?”

Deltan asked and Agnes answered.

“I heard earlier that you were going to go see mermaids.”

“Mermaid?”

Oh, that’s right.

Only later did Deltan remember that Rahman Beach was the territory of mermaids.

“It would be hard to see a mermaid.”

“Why?”

“It’s an exclusive race. To the extent that they don’t even interact with other races in the east unless they are the same mermaid.”

Therefore, mermaids were a race with many aspects still remaining unknown.

Maybe those guys will come in after all their trouble.

Deltan spoke with confidence, but Agnes’ reaction was strange.

“Well?”

“What?”

“I heard something.”

Deltan raised his curiosity.

Agnes hardly gave an answer, perhaps because she was trying to make a joke.

At that moment, Deltan slowly narrowed his eyes.

“The only mermaids are women.”

“Why is that?”

“So, when breeding, they come to catch males of other races.”

“… Who said that?”

“Galan’s wife.”

Deltan let out a laugh.

I turned my head and looked at the beach, wondering if this was some kind of bullshit.

And I was dazed.

“Look.”

The mermaid jumped out of the sea and came ashore.

When the air touched the lower body, the fish’s tail turned into human legs.

And right after.

“Oh, it’s hot.”

About ten mermaids rushed at Jevis and Pobler and tore their clothes.

“… .”

Deltan’s mouth was tightly shut.
