The S-Classes That I Raised (MTL) - Chapter 721

my sea (1)

sinks it may come to mind Everything was water. Blue water filled with faint light was everywhere. Neither the direction of the sunlight nor the direction of the darkness could be known. There was only water, so it felt like nothing.

Park Ye-rim was sinking, rising, or flowing.

“… Hey!”

Slowly, he blinked his eyes, then groaned. The water was a little shaky, but that was all. The voice that came out by borrowing the power of the item quickly fell deeply into it. Park Ye-rim stretched her arms and legs and tried to stand up straight. But he couldn’t tell whether he was standing, lying, or flipped over.

I didn’t feel very well.

‘… I didn’t mean to be left alone.’

Unlike other times, the water of the mermaid queen was slow. Unlike before, it looked like it could be stopped by summoning waves. Wouldn’t it be possible to barely escape if the waves collided with the waves, dragging time and using teleportation?

But it failed.

‘Everyone got out, so it’s almost a success, isn’t it?’

Park Ye-rim nodded her head. I didn’t know I would be caught like this. … There was a thought that I might not be able to run away, but I didn’t realize it. Maybe, but maybe.

It seemed to go well this time. ‘Cause it’s always been

“What do you think! Yes!”

Park Ye-rim shouted again. The water swallows the sound. After awakening and experiencing the power of the mermaid queen, it was completely familiar water, but it felt unfamiliar now. nothing but water Endlessly just water, then water, again water. There is no sleep and no floor. I got a little goosebumps. The strange feeling of fear was quickly shaken off.

“I want you to send me a message!”

Park Ye-rim grumbled as she proceeded a little in an unfathomable direction. It was as if nothing could be seen or heard except for his own voice. I inadvertently bit my lip. When you want to get a little nervous.

– I have no intention of harming you.

A resounding voice was transmitted through the waves. A gigantic figure flickers like a shadow beneath the surface of the water. All the spaces shook at once, and the presence of the owner of water resided everywhere.

Power entered Park Ye-rim’s chin again. I opened my eyes, trying not to show my weakness.

– Little water drop.

“My name is Yerim Park.”

A black shadow fluttered beneath her feet. It felt so far away and felt like it was rubbing against my toes. At the same time, a presence like dark clouds filled the sky over his head. Slow flow in all directions. Park Ye-rim took in a short, hasty breath. It was as if he had fallen into the water without any skills. With every breath, it seemed as if air bubbles would leave the lungs one by one and never return.

Both hands inadvertently covered their noses and mouths. My heart was beating loudly.

– You couldn’t get out of the water without my permission.

The voice of water continued.

– This is my realm, and nothing you believe in can save you.

There is no rescue. You won’t even be able to find this place from the outside. Not Yujin Han, not an S-class hunter, not even a transcendent.

– So take it.

The mermaid queen’s successor. The wave gently brushed Park Ye-rim’s cheek. Park Ye-rim’s shoulders trembled slightly.

“… You said you didn’t like it.”

A voice murmured under the palm of his hand. nevertheless was resolute.

“I left you behind, is it me now? Why are you doing this?”

– Because you need it. Yujin Han has the skills we need.

“If necessary, don’t you have to explain and persuade with words? We can talk and we understand!”

– But not weak. You can’t share a secret with someone who can’t protect themselves. Please understand that I cannot speak until I am fully under my protection.

“… Why are we? It’s not asking for understanding, it’s asking for it!”

In all directions, the form of squambling gathered along the wave. It gradually takes on the shape of a mermaid, swaying like a painting wet with water. Park Ye-rim looked straight at it.

– I think it may feel unfair. But droplet, you have failed.

Park Ye-rim’s eyes were distorted. The covered lips twitched.

– Han Yu-jin will try everything to save you, and will end up giving herself away.

Park Ye-rim freed Han Yu-jin. However, since she is captured, Han Yu-jin will walk to the Mermaid Queen on her own feet. Park Ye-rim’s breathing became steep again. I tried not to think about it, but it was a scene that I could easily imagine.

“… You will find a way.”

– I couldn’t find it and tried to stay. He and you, after all, lacked strength.

“However!”

– There are times when we are young and weak. So no need to be shy.

A hand reached out toward Park Ye-rim. The shape that looked like a mirage glistened with clear scales.

– Accept protection.

It was a gentle and powerful sound.

– As the master of water, I will embrace you. There will be no more need to be afraid, no need to be afraid again.

“… I was never scared.”

– You will always be able to be confident.

As the successor of the mermaid queen, the promised path to glory. All these waters will one day be shaken under the hands of Park Ye-rim.

Park Ye-rim shook her head as she felt her breathing become more rapid. He stubbornly rolled his eyes.

“I still hate it!”

The mermaid queen did not force it. Instead, he quietly held out his hand. Park Ye-rim’s whole body trembled briefly at the distant touch. Even now, the desire to hold that hand soared. messed it up

– I can easily crush you at any time. However, I am proposing it out of pure goodwill that I have never seen before.

The form of the mermaid queen fades. His voice spread like wildfire.

– Please think about it slowly, remembering my cherishing and caring. The passage of time here is extremely slow, so it should be enough to change your mind.

The water roared loudly.

– If you want to escape, accept my power and call me.

The presence of the mermaid queen completely disappears. Again nothing, only water. Park Ye-rim, who was left alone, blinked.

“… There, I!”

The voice is vainly swallowed by the water. Park Ye-rim raised her mana sensing ability to the maximum. But it was still only water. The little mermaid didn’t even look at her. He left so that he could not feel even the slightest stalk.

left alone

It was cumbersome. Park Ye-rim took a deep breath and began to move. I couldn’t tell whether it was up or down, but I still went in the direction I thought was the surface of the water.

‘… What if we go down?’

If it goes down endlessly like this. The moment I thought about it, the direction I was going in seemed particularly dark. Park Ye-rim hurriedly changed direction. But it wasn’t long before I had the same thought.

Maybe I’m heading to the floor now. Could it be that you fall on your own?

There was no way. There was no such thing as going forward. was alone

“… You still have to go.”

If she doesn’t, her work will be in vain. No, it could have been worse than that.

you have failed The mermaid queen’s voice echoed in my head. Park Ye-rim could not find the way and moved recklessly.

‘Uncle, he may have had an idea.’

It’s always been like that. Compared to the S-class, he was caught several times with infinitely low stats, and he found a way while fighting the transcendents. It may have been this time as well. No, it would have been. He would have escaped by making a way without getting lost like himself.

“… Hey! The mermaid queen!”

shouted The water was still. It is quietly filled with little flow. Park Ye-rim stopped. No matter how far I went, nothing changed. Even with his arms and legs stirred, he was in the deep blue water. He even doubted that he was moving. Could it be that he was just dazed in one place and floundering in vain?

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

murmured a little. The voice didn’t reach anywhere. There was nothing she could do. Nothing but just waiting blankly.

“… it’s okay.”

I will come to the rescue. People around Park Ye-rim never give up on Park Ye-rim. That was certain. So it should be fine.

“… It’s not okay.”

My body trembled. My heart was beating loudly.

“… I’m scared.”

scary. I was afraid of doing nothing and being left alone. Even if you struggle with all your might, the surroundings do not change. I felt so small. The feeling that you can do anything loses its strength. Before awakening, just as helpless as when I was a child.

– … Sorry!

“… … ?!”

A small voice was heard. Park Ye-rim lifted her head and looked around.

– I was scared too!

“… what? Uh, who are you?”

– I was so scared, I couldn’t go out!

I felt a faint light. It was the end of the pendant string hanging around Park Ye-rim’s neck. A stone as clear as a drop of water, an egg of a spirit was wrapped in a blue light like a mist. Park Ye-rim grabbed the egg of the water spirit with both hands.

“it’s you?”

– I’m a coward!

The voice was weeping. The blue light flickered loudly.

– Yerim is around you… There were too many scary things… … .

“Around me?”

– Huh. Especially the Transcendents who are much stronger than me! Actually, I was already awake… … .

Embarrassed, the water spirit said.

– The ritual was earlier. Yerim got caught around your neck, and I was trying to say hello… … .

I ran into chatterbox. The water spirit held its breath.

– Yerim, you were confident, but I was scared. I thought that one transcendent disappeared though, but again!

They were dragged into their space. The egg trembled slightly.

– When I ran into the Little Mermaid, I never wanted to be found out. I could have been born back then, but I was scared. The power to swallow the pieces of the world was too scary. The big wolf was really scared too.

The voice stuttered.

– But the scariest thing was the fact that I was a coward.

“… What’s wrong with being a coward?”

– Yerim, because you were always confident. Because I faced it without fear. Because I didn’t lose in front of even stronger Transcendents. But I… I was so scared that I couldn’t even speak, curled up in an egg and hid… … . I’m so, so, so embarrassed and ashamed… … .

the light is so strong because the water is so clear The spirit could not jump into it.

– I thought you would hate this coward… … .

“no!”

Park Ye-rim shook her head quickly.

“Why do I hate you! And me too, I’m scared.”

Tears flowed strangely even as I smiled.

“I’ve had a lot of scary times too. I’m still very scared In fact, I always did.”

Tears dripped and mixed into the water. Tears were like laughter.

“But me too, I was afraid to look weak.”

– Yerim, you are strong!

“Yeah, but. I’m scared though. Even if I become a lot stronger than I am now, there will still be things that are scary.”

The spirit egg flashes. A stronger and clearer light flowed.

– I thought you’d be fine without me.

“No, it is not.”

– But Yerim was afraid of you too, so I couldn’t hide anymore.

It is within the realm of the transcendent. Even Park Ye-rim is stuck and tied up. It was more frightening than any other time. But more than that fear.

– I wanted to be with you.

The water spirit loved Park Ye-rim. I’ve been admiring it since I first had consciousness. I watched silently and grew affection. Park Ye-rim smiled broadly.

“thanks.”

– … Sorry for being so late.

“No, and you are strong. I am not a coward.”

– But I.

“You talked like this. Even though I’m scared too. What a coward that is.”

– … It’s still scary.

“It’s okay! I’m scared too! I am so scared that I want to cry!”

Saying that, Yerim Park cried. This time, I really cried a lot.

“I’m afraid that uncle will go wrong because of me, black! Maybe I just messed things up… … !”

I cried out loud. What if I can’t go out like this forever? If my uncle goes wrong, then what if I am left alone again? If you keep rejecting the Mermaid Queen’s offer and then get really angry and try to kill her, then.

The water spirit also cried. I was sorry and cried. What are you sorry about? After crying like that, I laughed again.

“I think I can survive because I’m not alone. It’s ok, uncle will help you. Have you seen uncle too? You can believe it.”

Park Ye-rim said while rubbing her eyes with her fingers.

“It’s a shame that I ended up like this when I tried to solve it. It’s okay though. Even if I make a really big mistake and ruin everything, you’ll still be on my side. Me too.”

Wet eyes looked at the egg of the spirit affectionately.

“Even if you hide in fear or run away alone. Yet I will continue to love you. I will listen to you.”

Just as Yerim Park received, Yerim Park too. The spirit egg was full of light. smiled brightly.

– I’ll take over.

“Huh? What?”

– The mermaid queen’s successor.

Park Ye-rim’s eyes widened.

“A title? you?”

– Huh! Since I am your spirit, I can receive power from a title I haven’t fully received yet.

“But then you… … .”

– it’s okay.

The egg turns transparent. It scatters as water droplets and then gathers in front of Park Ye-rim again. The little figure let out a laugh.

-Before I am the mermaid queen’s successor, I am your spirit. So it’s okay. not dependent.

The mermaid queen’s jewel, which was hanging along with the spirit’s egg, permeated into the spirit. Blue water drops opened their eyes, reaching out their hands. I looked at Park Ye-rim with the utmost affection.

– My sea.

The successor of the mermaid queen, the only sea of ​​water spirits.
