The S-Classes That I Raised (MTL) - Chapter 723

my sea (3)

It started with a small earring. Changrang’s Mermaid Queen Earrings given as a reward for hunting monsters that popped out due to a system error. It didn’t mean much. The bastards often registered the items they used before becoming a transcendent as a reward, and earrings were one of them. It is a useful piece of equipment for those who have water attribute power, so many owners have passed through it.

Han Yu-jin demanded the power of the mermaid queen using the relationship of the earrings. Even then, the Mermaid Queen, who was planning to use him in a way other than the cradle of the Transcendental One, gave Park Ye-Rim her power as the ruler of water. It was my only experience and I didn’t have high expectations. Although Park Ye-rim mainly dealt with water instead of ice and grew rapidly, I thought it was the influence of Han Yu-jin.

But it wasn’t.

– … me.

The mermaid queen looked at the brightly shining girl in the storm. He held a cracked spear and spread his torn fin wings. Among the long hairs of water swaying in the harsh wind, the blue eyes looked at her proudly.

A girl who stands in front of the king along the waterway and points a spear.

The mermaid queen’s eyes fluttered. Emotions that are difficult to describe filled my old, worn-out heart. It swells up and swells up. The feeling of beating his whole body exploded and he shouted.

lovely.

A child who is walking again on her path that has been blurred and disappeared a long time ago. The girl, who stood up on her own strength and looked beyond, spoke of longing to the mermaid queen. No titles were needed. The girl was already looking at her without anyone’s interference. pure and clear.

How could I not love that look? The supremely powerful love poured down as a torrential rain. It was a loveliness that even a transcendent who had lived for a long time could not deny.

– … okay. it was

The fact that the king who was left alone, who could no longer leave anything behind or continue to exist, had forgotten the truth.

Countless futures that leave the nest and grow.

She was the king watching his back. It was a stepping stone for those who moved freely. And she, too, a long time ago.

‘Girls are usually like that.’

There was a gaze that looked down at the messed up girl with kindness. The girl became the king of all the seas. Growing up at will in the warm snow.

He was like that too, and now it was his turn to look at him. The lonely king at some point became a tyrant. The king was the foundation of all. So did the system. It wasn’t up to her to decide what to build on top of it.

i was wrong

The mermaid with the name of the first wave at dawn recognized.

“I will be back! Somehow!”

I bowed my head towards the young waves crashing anew.

Park Ye-rim stabs the cracked spear with all her might. The sea follows him. The mermaid queen spread her arms. I was happy. The water never stops. constantly flowing Even when she closes her eyes and turns around, it quietly springs up and overflows.

Aww-

The spear that wrapped around the sea pierced the blue scales. Oops, the spear broke and bounced high. Park Ye-rim’s body also could not overcome the repulsion and tossed among the waves. But the tip of the spear was firmly stuck.

Park Ye-rim blinked. The wind is fading and the rain is getting thinner. The waves subside and the clear sky is revealed through the clouds. The mermaid queen’s fingertips gently wiped the spear blade embedded in her chest.

– Go anywhere.

freely as you wish. A blood-soaked spear blade came out of his chest. The scattered pieces gather and form a smooth blue spear. A spear filled with waves and jewels of the sea fell down in front of Yerim Park.

The Little Mermaid let out a long breath. He drew his own power with his body that was getting heavier. Han Yu-jin cut off her own world and Park Ye-rim’s world from the system. However, he was not yet completely freed from the interference of the Transcendentals.

Help for a lovely girl. Even if it is difficult to achieve complete protection, water is the foundation for it.

“Uh, over there?”

Park Ye-rim, holding the newly born spear, looked at the Mermaid Queen in bewilderment. It was obviously not fatal. It must have been just a scratch, but the reaction was strange. The Little Mermaid smiled at her and slowly closed her eyes.

– I’m going to sleep now.

You will use up all your energy and fall asleep. Worries about the crescent moon and the disappearing worlds under her hand remained. At the same time, I was convinced.

On the day she wakes up from her long sleep, she will see a dazzlingly beautiful sea.

– My little sea.

The mermaid queen sank into a happy dream.

* * *

came out of the water But it felt like I was sinking deeper. The door closed and disappeared without a trace. has disappeared. tuk. The bag I was holding in my hand fell. It seemed that Yoohyeon was calling me from next to me, but my ears were deaf. All voices were distant.

I opened my mouth. I had to talk and move, but only the sound of my breathing came out. This isn’t the time for this, you need to be mindful… … .

“-So, hyung!”

The man who should continue as if it was natural after Yoohyeon’s cry! there was no It only echoes in my head like an old hallucination. It was still suffocating, as if floundering in the waves. The grass rustled at my feet, but I was still in the water.

“… Now, that.”

Yoohyeon’s arm reached the hand that couldn’t figure it out. you need to calm down I can’t afford to waste time. you need to calm down

“brother! Wake!”

“It will be fine, Eugene!”

– Kwu Woong, Kiang

voices poured out. I blinked my eyes.

“Let’s go to the rescue, bro.”

Yoohyeon said firmly. Yes, of course. of course.

“… The little mermaid won’t hurt Yerim.”

It’s my fault.

“The title of successor… I gave.”

I made Yerim remain.

“The original purpose was me, so I’m going to keep it even to use it as a hostage.”

This is what I wanted to remain. No, in the first place, you shouldn’t bring a child to a place like this. I couldn’t trust the Transcendents.

“If I go out now, I’ll get you back safely.”

“Sit down now.”

Sung Hyun-jae’s voice was heard. He soon returned to his original form. Yoohyeon sat me down in a chair I don’t know who brought it. Noah picked up the piece and put it in my arms. The red hair was soft and soft, as if it had just dried.

“Don’t talk like a hostage exchange.”

Moon Hyun-ah just cut it off and said.

“Yerim is definitely young. Even if you’re an S-class, you’re at the age to be protected, so I understand why hyung is embarrassed. I was surprised too. But even children need respect.”

Hyuna made eye contact with me. It was difficult to face the strong gaze right away.

“If I give up my brother and bring Ye-rim, it will be in vain for Ye-rim to go out. A complete failure. That’s why. Not for my brother, but for Yerim.”

“… However.”

“First of all, is the mermaid queen’s attitude clear?”

nodded. There was no reason for the Little Mermaid to harm Yerim.

“But you will be anxious. He was caught alone. Even as an adult, it would be scary!”

“… know. Even if the body is fine, it is hard not to get hurt in the mind. And we have to choose the one that hurts the least a little.”

The less hurt. can’t help but get hurt Yerim came out. He saw my actions and moved on. It was Yerim’s choice, and I had to give him an answer. I closed my eyes tightly and then opened it. Asking the mermaid queen to take me right away and release Yerim… no. That was the way I was comfortable.

“… Director Song, what do you usually do at times like this?”

“If the safety of the hostage is assured, we will not move hastily. Above all, the opponent is an Awoken, now a Transcendent, because it can cause even greater damage.”

“A hostage exchange.”

“… Priority is given to non-Awakeneds over Awakeneds, and lower Awakeneds to higher Awakeneds. Also, if the hostage is an intermediate or higher Awakened, we can work together, so we are looking for a way to contact the hostage.”

“Newbie.”

At my call, a hem like a double flower appeared from the air. Red round eyes under light beige curly hair looked at me.

“Can I contact Yerim?”

[Please wait a moment.]

The newcomer said as he descended onto the grass. The trampled blade of grass was not broken. It was an illusion, not reality.

[It was not easy to open the door. It’s part of the system that’s been destroyed, but it’s affecting the whole system, so it’s hard to get to the droplet without the Little Mermaid right now.]

“When the system is back to normal, will I be able to talk to Yerim?”

[Because I’m still a member of Honey’s team. It won’t take long. It’s not completely normalized, you just need to tweak it a little bit more.]

“Please.”

The newbie nodded. He seemed to have something to say to me, but he looked at my expression and quietly disappeared. so messed up

“Let’s dry the body first.”

Yoohyeon started a fire. Irene came over to me.

“To save Park Ye-rim, you have to take care of your brother too.”

“Your master is right. Your brother should be fine.”

“Oh, shall I find something to eat?”

Marie, who was holding her breath, raised her hand.

“It’s warm. When you feel warm, you feel better. There is a fire, and you can bake, heat, or boil.”

“… thank you.”

There was no word saying it was okay. I don’t want to worry, but it was difficult. As a hunter, I was thinking that Yerim could get hurt. However, when I was confronted like this, the shock was greater than I expected. Even more so because it was caused by my actions.

“Remember. Yujin Han is the victim.”

Sung Hyun-jae said.

“There is no need for the victim to feel guilty about the presence of a clear perpetrator.”

“… Even if you could have stopped it?”

“Erase the perpetrator. What must have happened?”

“… nothing We must have all arrived here together.”

If the Little Mermaid had not appeared, of course, Yerim would not have been caught.

“You may think that you need to be more careful in the future, but that’s it.”

“It’s not easy… I don’t.”

Still, the thought that I wish I could have done better somehow never crossed my mind. I tried to calm my mind, but I kept getting nervous. No matter how strong you appear, you are still a child. It must be scary What kind of guardian are you away from at times like this? Someone wanted Yerim to be by her side. Even if there is no one, please someone.

[honey!]

The urgent voice of the newcomer was heard. jumped up from the chair.

“Are you connected?!”

[That’s the tree senior!]

Slowly, vines bloom in the air. Green and red leafed vines intertwined to form a square door. Then, as the space inside is opened and connected.

“Mister!”

It was Yerim. In the open sea, Yerim appeared. He splashes water and jumps in front of me.

“I’m back!”

I looked at the wide smile on my face without even blinking my eyes. Yerim tilted her head. arms outstretched I said nothing and hugged him.

“Uh, hey, uncle… … .”

My throat was so tight that I couldn’t even cry. I should have told you to come, if you were okay, but I couldn’t. Yerim hugged my trembling body face to face.

“worry… I did a lot.”

Yerim’s bewildered voice was also mixed with crying.

“I thought it would be okay… … .”

“… Yerim.”

“But, I was scared… … .”

“… My uncle was scared too. really.”

The two hugged and snickered. Tears came out, but the trembling body gradually subsided. Yerim made water droplets to wash her face. As always.

“How did it go?”

calmed down and asked. The newbie spoke before Yerim.

[The tree senior brought me here!]

[I was asked by the water droplet.]

The vines that formed the door were disturbed, and a shape like a small wooden doll with leaves wrapped around it appeared.

[Take him to the newbie. And if possible, I ask you to help me once.]

If it’s a drop of water, the mermaid queen? Why all of a sudden? Yerim, who fell from me, shrugged her shoulders, and her eyes lit up.

“It’s a title, I got it.”

“what?”

“It’s him, not me.”

– Oh, hello!

Water gathered on Yerim’s palm. The water in the shape of a little mermaid nodded at me.

– It’s Yerim’s water spirit coral!

The water spirit, that is.

“Oh, hello. you woke up But the title… … .”

– No, that’s right. I got the title instead of Yerim! That’s because I’m Yerim’s spirit, so even if I receive the title of successor, I won’t be subordinated to the Mermaid Queen.

“So Coral, as the mermaid queen’s successor, gave me the power of the ruler of the waters! The strength itself was equal to that of the mermaid queen, so we fought against it, but the experience is very different.”

– I was scared… … .

“Still, I rushed in to eat one room, but suddenly the mermaid queen is going to let me go! Oh, I poked it right! The spear was also broken, but the Mermaid Queen fixed it.”

… I’m not sure what the story is, but that’s it.

“A power equal to the mermaid queen?”

“Not now.”

– The mermaid queen, who draws power, is asleep. Thanks to the title of successor, it will be stronger and grow faster than other young spirits.

The spirit was shy but proudly opened her chest. The mermaid queen is asleep? uh… … .

– What is that?

Irene blew fire from my shoulder.

– The first spirit is Rin! Linyi has to be the strongest in the world!

It circled around and started to whimper towards Yoohyeon.

– Yoohyeon-ah! I’ll swallow it! Even if it’s hot, I will swallow it with patience! If Linyi eats it too, she can be stronger than that!

It seemed to be referring to the first piece of fire. It was so hot that even the fire spirit couldn’t stand it, but what if it burns? He patted Linyi, but the anger didn’t seem to subside.

– Be noisy.

As Yerim hid behind her shoulder, only her head sticking out, Coral muttered.

– You will be quiet without your help, right? it.

– what? Linyi will soon be able to speak on her own too!

– Yerim, fire spirits are always noisy. violent

Well, I can’t deny it. Linyi isn’t like that. Yerim smiled and stroked the coral playfully with her fingertips.

“Still, be nice to each other. with other people.”

– Yes, Yerim. But I like Yerim the best.

“Yeah, I like coral, too.”

Looking at the two of them, I started to look into Lee Rin’s eyes for nothing. Yerim and Coral are really sweet.

“… Yoohyeon-ah, please treat Rin well too.”

“It is helping.”

“Hey, Lina. Yoohyeon must like you too.”

– No.

Linyi just cut it out and said.

– Yoohyeon only likes hyung! That’s right, Yoohyeon!

“Huh.”

– That’s why Linyi likes Yoohyeon! It can’t be that Yoohyeon doesn’t like Rin. I hate that kind of Yoohyeon because it’s not Yoohyeon! It’s lukewarm! My brother can keep talking!

The spirit of fire exclaimed and returned to Yoohyeon. that, yes If you like it, that’s it. Yoohyeon and Linyi also got along really well.

“Anyway, I don’t know what the English is, but does the Little Mermaid say that Ye-rim released you and fell asleep?”

“Yes. Why?”

[honey! Waterdrop-senpai enveloped the honey world with his own power!]

“what? Whoa, what have you done!”

[To protect! Uh, things are complicated now. Because betting is a win for filial piety addicts, you have to give a piece of the honey world, but the system connection… I don’t know what happened, but it was broken and I couldn’t take it with me. But again, among the representatives, the king of predation… It disappeared and the water drop senior fell asleep… … .]

In short, it’s a mess.

[I don’t know how this happened! So, for now!]

[I called to call a meeting.]

said the tree.

[It might take a day or so. But before that, we’ll have to find a way. Water droplets covered Honey’s world with waves, but it’s not perfect. Strengthen your defenses based on that wave. If it lasts for about a month or so, all traces of system connection will disappear.]

[Senior Namoo, are you helping us?]

[Because it is a request of a drop of water. I owe her, and that’s the reward. However, it is not continuous.]

The wooden doll tilted her head.

[I don’t know why Waterdrop suddenly changed his mind, but it has nothing to do with me. I’ll even help protect Honey’s world, but after that, I have to go back to my place.]

[Still, thank you!]

[You are a newcomer.]

The tree looked at the newcomer. The newcomer hung his ears long.

[…] I do not know. But I want to help Honey.]

[okay. I’ll take the time, so you organize it.]

[Yes!]

The wooden doll turned into a bunch of flowers and just scattered and disappeared. The newcomer turned to us.

[First, we need to stabilize the system and find a way. It will slow down time, so you can rest for a day or two.]

The small dome-shaped ceiling disappeared and a wide sky appeared. The meadow stretched out endlessly, and a familiar house could be seen. Then Myeong-woo and young Chaos approached us.

At the same time, I was out of breath. You can rest. It was unclear why the Little Mermaid Queen was like that and how she was doing, but still. just a second.

“brother!”

As if the switch was turned off, consciousness disappeared.
