“──────.”

    The shipyard director’s words were like beasts, not even words.

    He looked at me like he always did, but I felt like I was going to burst out swearing at this malicious situation.

    ‘Why are they suddenly being such a bastard?’

    Nevertheless, the head calmly assesses the situation.

    Just for a moment.

    I postponed my answer.

    And I headed to the cabin to get a clear answer to this situation.

    “Focus! What do you hear me say?”

    The women resting in the cabin look at me.

    The women just blinked.

    “···What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

    “What do you mean? People.”

    Some people laugh, some take it seriously.

    However, the nuances and language of the wives did not change in any way.

    ‘The ability to interpret has not disappeared.’

    When I lost my ability to interpret, Seth’s pronunciation fell apart.

    ─I just couldn’t talk to the shipyard manager.

    I obediently confessed my concerns.

    “I can no longer communicate with the shipyard manager.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “I would like someone to interpret what the shipyard director said.”

    There was silence in the cabin.

    But even for a moment. Edeline closed the book and stood up.

    “I will help you.”

    I was grateful to Edeline, but I couldn’t just receive help from Edeline.

    Besides “, is there anyone else who knows how to speak Horus? ”

    “Everyone knows how to do it.”

    ‘You know how to do everything?’

    It was very embarrassing.

    Because I didn’t know how to do it. I couldn’t help it.

    Because the interpreting ability did not provide access to other languages at all.

    “Go.”

    Before I knew it, Edeline stood up and followed me.

    The shipyard manager was also looking at me as I came out of the cabin, as if he sensed something was wrong.

    “──────?”

    “You’re asking what’s going on.”

    “Tell them that the servant’s power of interpretation is not working for some reason.”

    “Your companion says that the interpreting power given to you by the servant does not work for you.”

    For a moment, the shipyard manager stared at me.

    Soon he smiled and continued speaking.

    “─── ── ──── ── ──────.”

    “No. My companion can only speak the Drekkar common language.”

    For a moment, the shipyard manager’s face hardened.

    “─── ── ───── ── ───.”

    “The authority itself has not been erased, but only communication with you has become impossible.”

    He looked at me with a puzzled expression.

    But I couldn’t understand this situation either.

    “Edeline, did the shipyard manager receive the blessing of another servant?”

    “I don’t know now, but I haven’t felt any such presence.”

    In other words, it means that it is unknown.

    Why doesn’t the Servant’s power only work on certain people?

    When the opponent receives the blessing of another servant and he does not collaborate with Dantalian.

    When the body dies and the soul leaves.

    However, the shipyard manager had never received a servant’s blessing and had never had a major accident recently.

    ‘Then why?’

    [Why are you pretending not to know?]

    A sudden voice is heard.

    Before I knew it, a black snail was crawling on my wrist.

    [There is one more, right?]

    Hell seems to have read and understood the doubts deep in my heart.

    [When Dantalian does not want it.]

    But I decided not to listen to him.

    Whether he was right or wrong, he lied to me.

    I continued to judge, ignoring hell.

    [Think about his actions. How much have I tried to disturb you?]

    [Look! I’m disturbing you again!]

    [It’s not clear why you’re doing that.]

    Hell reveals its many eyes.

    [If you could talk to animals, who wouldn’t you be friends with?]

    [You can become friends with anyone. It’s not that you’re particularly good.]

    [He knew that and limited your powers.]

    [I want you to collapse and return to Pangea!]

    ···Is that so?

    Is he ultimately trying to take advantage of the thing I love the most?

    [Is there any other way to explain it?]

    does not exist.

    [that’s right. None.]

    [I’m sorry I lied before. But I am your only understanding?]

    [Only you and I have servants─] “─ ─── ─ ──?”

    “Yes?”

    An unfamiliar voice attracts attention.

    This was because Edeline made a very surprised sound.

    Her eyes were focused on the Joseon market.

    “······.”

    The shipyard director was pointing the finger at me.

    “Disgusting? What are you talking about?”

    With angry eyes.

    Soon the shipyard manager reached out to me.

    It was a hand as big as my upper body.

    From there, an index finger as thick as a thigh extends out and pokes me.

    dump!

    I was pushed by that hand and fell.

    Edeline looked up at the shipyard director with cold eyes.

    “······What are you doing now?”

    “── ───. ─ ─── ──?”

    The shipyard director extends both hands to me.

    “Let go! Right now!”

    The shipyard manager lifts me up.

    “Let go! right now! help! Come on!”

    I really missed this snow level.

    It felt like I was back in time 25 years ago.

    5m.

    A giant whose height is similar to that of a male giraffe with its neck stretched out.

    The shipyard director raises me to eye level.

    “Please help! Come on!”

    The women who were resting in the cabin come running out.

    Before I knew it, hell had disappeared and fled.

    Just for a moment.

    The shipyard director says:

    “── ─ ───. ─── ──.”

    The ogre also had a big face.

    But the eyes weren’t that big.

    “Can you translate for me?”

    I didn’t specifically look at Edeline.

    So I couldn’t tell what kind of expression he was making, but the answer came quite late.

    “It’s not that it’s not there, it’s that they don’t know.”

    “···You are interpreting properly, right?”

    “Yes. That’s right.”

    The shipyard director’s words were completely incomprehensible.

    “─ ─ ─── ─ ── ─── ─── ─── ──.”

    “They say don’t fall for the teasing of short guys because you’re tall.”

    I laugh out loud.

    Only then did the shipyard manager smile and put me down.

    ─The shipyard director received the servant’s blessing.

    I don’t know who it is, but it refuses to collaborate with Dantalian.

    Furthermore, it went against Pluto or Maal and revealed the appearance of hell to the shipbuilder.

    “I want you to tell me that I never passed over.”

    “They say they have never passed from the beginning.”

    The shipyard manager snorted and wrapped the sail rope in his hand.

    It was something that anyone else, including me and the shipyard director, could just laugh at.

    But it seemed that the wives were not.

    Because everyone was glaring at me and the shipyard manager with white faces.

    “It’s not a big deal, so go in and rest. When you get sunlight, your pretty skin gets burned.”

    Although he joked and waved his hand.

    The women, especially Isabelle, Shir, and Lexi, glare coldly at the shipyard manager.

    “I’ll come in later and explain.”

    Jangle──

    The sound of bells!

    We all jumped out with fishing rods.

    I’m a champion.

    The shipyard foreman grabs the pulley rope attached to the fishing rod and pulls it.

    Giikik─ Giikik───!

    The force is so strong that the main mist attached to the pulley makes a whining sound.

    ‘What kind of guy got caught and did this?’

    “······!”

    The shipyard director gritted his teeth and pulled the rope.

    This is the shipyard manager who casually caught a deep-sea fish larger than a large tuna.

    If he is struggling so much, the shipbuilding director’s body is weakening.

    Boom!

    So much so that my stomach tilted from the shock.

    The shipyard manager hurriedly reeled in the rope.

    “······.”

    At first glance, tons of fish are being pulled out.

    With half of his body torn off.

    It was clear that he had been eaten by an unknown deep-sea fish while being dragged out.

    How big of a monster must live down here to eat half the body of a ton of fish in one bite?

    ‘The leather armor I wore was also made from deep-sea whale skin.’

    I was once again filled with fear.

    A deep sea whale that was Leviathan or something.

    “Leviathan─ ─────.”

    just as expected? I hear a familiar word.

    The shipyard manager smiles brightly and prepares a half-fish.

    The affected area of the deep sea fish that had been torn off was full of sharp teeth marks.

    Edeline glances at me.

    With a confused expression of mixed emotions.

    “···It is said that Leviathan followed.”

    “That deep-sea whale? What’s the problem with that?”

    “What’s the problem with Leviathan following along?”

    “── ────. ──── ── ──── ──── ── ──── ──.”

    “He is smart and knows that a fish caught on a fishing line cannot escape.”

    In other words, it means hunting animals caught in traps, like foxes.

    No matter how many tons of fish there are, there is only half of them.

    What’s more, what’s left is more than half of the head.

    The yield should be around 20%.

    The women were smiling awkwardly for some reason.

    They didn’t know that we were running out to catch fish.

    “─── ──── ── ─── ─── ────.”

    “They say he might come after me until the end of this voyage.”

    I thought I was screwed.

    Humans weigh 1 kg per day. Eat about 1.5% of your body weight in food.

    This is because digestion efficiency is good.

    However, animals that eat raw meat must eat 5% of their body weight.

    ‘What if you are a meat-eater who works with your body?’

    In some cases, you eat twice as much or more.

    In other words, you have to eat tons of food a day.

    “Seth, Edeline. That guy called Leviathan. Is there any way to kick it out?”

    “No.”

    It shouldn’t be like this.

    Deficiency manifests itself as desire.

    In human history, there is an act that always follows a great famine like a tag.

    ─Cannibalism.

    “There is.”

    “No.”

    “···Why are you pretending it doesn’t exist?”

    Edeline stares at Seth.

    But Seth calmly accepted that gaze and looked at me.

    “All you have to do is explode a bomb in the sea and scare them with tyranny.”

    “Gunpowder should not be used unless it is for public benefit.”

    “Isn’t it a public interest? We are also a group.”

    Edeline’s eyes also turned intensely towards me.

    As if I had a calling.

    “This is a dark ocean, not a blue ocean. Deep sea fish will faint or die from the pressure, and tens of thousands of deep sea fish will lose their hearing.”

    “Moreover, in the depths of the Dark Ocean, there is the head of Ouroboros, the sea god who surrounds Pangea! Do you know what would happen if the sea god were startled and twisted its body?”

    “Dozens and millions of people near ports across Pangea will be swept away by the sea, dying and losing their homes!”

    “······.”

    It’s like killing millions of people just so we can live.

    In the end, I ended up laughing.

    ‘This is the difference in agent time.’

    I looked at Seth secretly.

    “Is it okay to explode a bomb? I don’t think that’s possible?”

    “Then, are you going to starve to death?”

    “Even if you starve to death, a bomb won’t work.”

    Seth just shrugged at my answer.

    “─── ──?”

    “Rejected Magic Tower’s proposal.”

    The shipyard manager and Edeline are talking to each other.

    The good news is that water is infinite.

    ‘Let’s make some stew.’

    Soup dishes energize people.

    It will also increase digestion efficiency. Furthermore, the wives’ prayers.

    As the pot begins to fill with water, the shipyard manager obediently puts out the fish.

    I prepared the food, and the women also brought the ingredients for stew.

    A lot of thoughts came to mind.

    When I first arrived in this world.

    I was able to talk to Jules because there was an ‘interpreter’.

    I was saddened by the difference between the languages of neutral and united people.

    It was a pity that the languages of the Uniran and the Drekkar were different.

    At that time, it was thought that all national disputes were based on language.

    I still think that way to some extent.

    So I was secretly proud of my ability to communicate with everyone.

    I conveyed and sympathized with their sadness and joy.

    That’s why I hated the idea that if Maal’s words don’t work, you’re not a demi-human.

    “Isabel.”

    Jewel-like peridot-colored eyes look at me.

    “I would like you to revoke the interpreting authority granted to me.”

    If the Power rejects me, I will reject the Power.

    It’s late, but I plan to learn ‘language’ from now on.

    “Yes? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

    “What is the point if the power for communication prevents communication?”

    “······.”

    There was silence in the hall.

    Everyone was looking at me in shock.

    “It’s another country’s language, shouldn’t you learn it from your wives?

    Isabel hesitated for a moment.

    She smiled as if she was sad for some reason.

    “···Yes.”

    A familiar yet unique voice rang through the sea breeze.

    “···Are you Ella?”

    “Yongchae noticed it too?”

    “How do you not know.”

    She’s my wife.

    She looked at me hazily, like an old person soaked in nostalgia.

    “Language changes its appearance even after 100 years.”

    It did.

    Humans will die and disappear within 100 years, so we cannot feel it, but languages circulate and change.

    Moreover, Ella is from 200 years ago.

    “···Now who will tell me the language of that time.”

    Looking around, Edeline and Lexi were also making funny expressions.

    It seems like it was very sad.

    “Then please return it.”

    “Yes?”

    “Later, if I learn Horus and can communicate with the shipbuilder.”

    I calmly continued cooking.

    But I couldn’t hear any sound.

    I glanced over and saw that the women were still looking dumbfounded.

    How long did the silence last?

    It was around this time that even the shipyard director began to notice.

    “···That’s why I like you.”

    Shir smiled and shyly confessed.
