episode_0563

The ship was completely destroyed by the storm.

We filled the boat with water following the recommendation of the shipyard director.

From what I hear, it seems like this is a necessary task to ensure stable buoyancy for the ship.

What is important is that all the sails were broken off.

Of course, there was no need for sails in a windless area, but there was a pulley for deep-sea fishing.

In other words, the shipyard manager was no longer able to catch fish for meals.

In response, the shipbuilding director showed me a truly famous piece of equipment.

“Aaacha━!”

─Hand fishing.

Diurnal deep-sea fish have no eyesight.

Instead, it relies on the Lorenzini organ, which recognizes body electrical signals, and the senses of hearing and smell.

In other words, the shipyard manager’s fingers were recognized as food.

Giant deep-sea fish bit the shipbuilder’s fingers, but he was an ogre.

“Big guy!”

The shipyard director holds up a deep-sea fish as if he is proud.

His flap was torn and still not healed.

Nevertheless, since I work, I also have to work.

Just as I was about to stand up.

“Sit down.”

“We’ll take care of it.”

Injured women here and there come forward on my behalf.

When I fell asleep and woke up, my wounds had become glorious wounds for protecting the ship.

‘Even if I die, I can’t tell you that I made the puncture myself.’

If you said something like that in front of me, you would be laughed at.

I looked at the shipyard director who was the only one who knew the truth.

“I threw away my luggage. But I didn’t throw away the food.”

He was chuckling and boasting about deep sea fish.

He glanced at me as if reading my gaze.

I had nothing to say.

Because I tried to kill him.

But he wasn’t angry.

Even now.

“Come. To eat.”

Because he was smiling and gesturing.

I ended up laughing at that sight.

‘That’s what the sea man’s loyalty is like.’

I think it’s really magnificent.

I got up, limped forward.

“Wound. back. etc.”

“It’s okay.”

It can’t be okay.

Even now, blood was flowing down his back.

I used all the medicine I had and treated him.

However, due to its large size, it was not possible to treat all of it.

If the wound got worse, something serious could have happened.

“Floating. Lie down.”

“You. me. Same.”

But judging by the expression on his face, it looks like he has no intention of resting.

I sat around the women cooking food and helped them cook.

This is because Shir was clumsily trying to peel off the scales of a deep-sea fish that had no scales.

‘I only take what I saw.’

“Give me. Because I will do it.”

“I’m doing it?”

But Shir was stubborn.

“It’s a fish without scales.”

“Ah. Did you say that from the beginning?”

It looks like he’s planning to do something about it himself.

I cleaned dried vegetables, etc.

Shoot ───

‘I can hear the wind.’

I gave up my burden to survive Ouroboros.

The lighter ship was moving so fast that it could be felt.

Fortunately, no significant threat was felt in the wind-free zone.

Moreover, steam engines are strong.

For no reason, developing nuclear power or creating an artificial sun using cutting-edge science is not about boiling water and turning a turbine.

Even modern internal combustion engines cannot compete with the sheer power of steam engines.

“Sister, doesn’t it seem like the boat is several times faster than before?”

“Yes. ···If this continues, it will probably arrive within a week.”

It seems that the wives have also noticed the change.

Upon arrival, it seemed likely that we would need to procure food locally.

I felt sorry for the shipyard manager.

‘I said I would give you a boat, but the boat was destroyed.’

What is the right way to compensate?

After thinking about it carefully, I spoke.

“Please translate for me.”

All the ladies are looking at me.

The same was true for the shipyard director. Because it was a language other than Horus.

“Actually, I’m going to see Maal.”

“We are going to see Maal.”

The eyes, obviously large but small compared to the face, widened.

“······What?”

“Is there anything you would like to say to the Creator? I will tell you.”

For some people, this is an opportunity more precious than platinum.

The shipyard director was speechless, like a mute.

“You can speak comfortably. My uncle asked me to tell him why he couldn’t make the world like this.”

“Say thank you. Living in this beautiful world.”

Edeline looks at me.

“Please say thank you. For letting me live in this beautiful world.”

I felt dizzy.

Because it wasn’t the answer I expected.

I know best what kind of life he has lived.

─The world cannot seem beautiful.

‘Have I gone crazy?’

Take a moment to think about that.

“Unfortunate. Me?”

“I am asking you if you think you are unhappy.”

“That’s right. The ship broke apart. Wow!”

Rolling his fingers rhythmically, he pointed to the shattered mast and deck.

I guess I found it funny.

The shipyard director chuckled with the corners of his mouth torn.

“Not me. I decide to be happy. By yourself.”

“He says he is not unhappy. Happiness is something you decide for yourself.”

‘···I decided to be happy myself.’

I ended up nodding my head in response to the absurd question.

The hell that crawled out from the back of my hand took out its single eye like a snail and looked at the shipyard director.

[I want to understand that.]

‘Fuck you.’

[······.]

Because you need to know how to accept things as they are.

Our voyage continued without any major problems.

A sea fog where you can’t see an inch ahead.

Sea fireflies screaming at the crashing sea.

A huge octopus… a kraken was also hanging on the boat.

It was a monster that looked like a devil.

Just what happened.

He hung on the railing, looked at us with the eyes of a cute animal, and then left.

He gave his leftover fish as a gift.

I never imagined that I would be loved by a huge deep-sea octopus.

How far did it go that way?

Boom!

Wow?!

The ship, which was moving well, shakes violently.

As if I hit something!

The shipyard manager was embarrassed and rushed to the bow section.

But even for a moment.

He was scared and took a step back.

Because something huge was burning on top of the ship.

“──────!”

It looked like a fish, a snake, or a reptile.

The most noticeable thing is the horns.

The scales shine in five colors like jewels.

It was looking down at us with the claws of its beautifully flowing fins sunk into its belly.

Sea dragon. Mr. Serpent.

Those who face a dragon will know it even if they don’t like it.

The fact that the creature in front of my eyes is a higher creature that I cannot compare to.

Even the shipyard commander could not open his mouth due to the majesty of the sea dragon.

“─── ─── ──── ──?!”

But Juul knows the terminology.

Juul stepped forward and spoke an unfamiliar language.

“─── ────── ─── ─────.”

The dragon flinched at Juul’s answer.

“─, ────!”

Take a moment to be dignified.

The dragon bared its teeth.

Some people might think the dragon was angry at that sight, but to me he seemed very happy.

But it seems that it wasn’t for the wives.

Fortunately, the sea dragon easily fell off the boat.

“── ──.”

Splash──!

Leaving something unintelligible behind.

The Sea Serpent swims away like a water snake.

The situation calms down for a few seconds.

Everyone was paying close attention to the sudden accident that had just occurred.

I quietly approached Jules.

Jules had a mesmerized expression on his face.

“What did the dragon just say?”

“How on earth did the humans get here?”

Jules couldn’t take his eyes off the sea where the Sea Serpent left.

“So?”

“I said I was doing what the servant told me to do.”

Everyone’s eyes are focused on Jules.

Jules spoke as if responding to the gathered gaze.

” Then he said that he finally came and told me to go quickly. ”

“Don’t just say things, could you at least take me there?”

I joked and turned around and leaned against the sailboat’s railing.

The horizon still stretches endlessly.

The meaning of the dragon’s words was simple.

‘It was decided that I would come here.’

Before going to sleep, the nameless Mother Earth told the dragon everything that would happen in the future.

Therefore, they have no hesitation in fulfilling their calling.

Only then did the forgotten problem come to the surface.

‘What should I do when I meet Maal?’

Why did Dantalian not want me to arrive at the Inner Demon World?

Why did James come down from his position as Dantalian’s agent?

What was the identity of the dagger targeting him?

It ended with Dantalian’s own play.

However, he has once again identified me as his agent and is refusing to meet with his hometown colleagues.

‘Dantalian. ‘I want to be happy now too.’

It has been 25 years since I fell into this world, and now 26 years before I achieve happiness.

I want to live a sweet life.

Everyone laughing together. I’m tired of this now.

‘So I don’t think I can make your wish come true.’

I made up my mind.

─You will meet Maal and be liberated from all this.

‘Liberation is shit.’

That’s what I wanted to do, but I didn’t prepare anything.

Because I’m a man who has nothing but guts.

Time passes quickly when you are worried.

Night and day changed in an instant, but the worries did not end.

Five days like that.

I was still worried.

Because I’m being pressured by my wives.

‘You can’t think?!’

I limped out of the cabin and sat down next to the shipbuilder.

The shipyard director had a shocked expression.

He had been feeling a certain sense of awe towards us since he had met the sea dragon with us.

“···What happened?”

“Do you think we are great in the opinion of the shipyard manager?”

“At least I think you are amazing.”

“Why?”

“I’ve never seen a man who captured so many women.”

‘It’s not that I was captured, I was captured.’

But I didn’t have the strength to explain.

I looked up at the sky with a small burst of laughter.

“And I’ve never seen anyone learn to read just to communicate with just one person.”

“This is my first time seeing a real sea man.”

Let’s all be embarrassed by the awkward compliment for a moment.

The shipyard director spoke.

“···I think I know why Maal wants to see you.”

“Yes?”

“Peeking at me from your arms. What is it?”

Hell hides like a crab hiding itself.

I couldn’t just answer this as hell.

“The vengeful spirits of people who died unjustly.”

“Vengeance, vengeance. Do you think it’s evil?”

“No.”

These are people who just lived.

In your own home, in your own way.

But since I lost everything, I have no choice but to wander.

“I think it is evil.”

I glanced at the shipyard manager.

I guess I mistakenly thought hell was something evil.

“I tried to lead you astray.”

“A road is just a road. Especially I like rough roads.”

This wasn’t what I wanted to talk about.

I wanted to get a clue from what the shipyard director said.

“So, why do you think Maal wants to meet me?”

“You are a non-believer. I don’t believe in any god.”

As I said, I am a non-believer.

I don’t know how you knew that.

“Could it be that I am the only non-believer?”

“There is only you.”

It was a confident assertion.

Do it.

This is a world where God exists.

“You were holding a dagger to cut the rope I was carrying.”

“······!”

The air suddenly became heavy.

Because I came in without even turning on the blinker, it became difficult to breathe.

“I could have killed you. But I didn’t.”

“···Did you keep it in your mind?”

“Not at all. That’s what Ain is.”

Then why do you say such a thing?

“You are Dantalian’s agent.”

“That’s right.”

“I saw the proclamation. I also heard what Hyan Wolf was trying to do.”

I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

I decided to keep quiet.

“It is natural to kill others to survive, but at the same time, it is shameful.”

“That’s why hunters, with a sense of guilt and responsibility, thoroughly dismember the animals they hunted.”

“Because it is shameful and dishonest.”

It is natural to sacrifice something else in order to live.

‘Let’s try to give meaning to it.’

What can I do? If I don’t eat, I starve to death.

Attributing meaning to this was something that only an arrogant agent of Lou would say.

“That’s why people never show the knife until they stab it.”

Still, I thought it was better than that.

“You didn’t hide the knife. Even the moment I lost my servant’s authority.”

“I have always been a tired person.”

He defended Amor and cut off his finger for that reason.

But I don’t regret it.

Because they are part of what sustains me.

“Your tiring nature has value.”

The sound of snoring made me lose strength and spread out on the deck.

dump-

Because it’s nonsense.

Even if it is valuable, what use is it for it?

“I could feel the ocean current.”

“Ocean currents? Ocean currents only occur when the land is close, right?”

Of course, it’s not all like that, but it tends to be that way.

“Okay. It is created when waves hit the ground.”

In other words, it was said that they had reached the inner demon world.

As Seth predicted, we will arrive at the Inner Demon World within today or tomorrow.

“···If you see Maal, ask him.”

“What?”

“Is my family resting comfortably?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“Thank you.”

There was silence at the end of the shipyard director’s request.

But I had to stand up and break the silence.

─Where did Sihyeon go?

─I will come find you.

This is because the sound of the cabin door opening was heard.

“I have to go in and have a look.”

“Sure.”

“Have a good night.”

Because ‘love’ must be given equally.

To avoid offending anyone, I had to hurry back to the cabin.
