Chapter 241: A Girl Of The Sea (1/2)
-----
Xijun had revealed to me her secret, the simple technique she had done perfectly since birth, and the one her grandpa taught to her… her grandpa seemed like a fearsome ocean fighter, I have to admit it. If he was able to raise such a monster granddaughter, he wasn't normal at all, I swear.
”I like the sea. It soothes me. I don't like the idea of going away from it… but I know it's the right thing to do now…” she sighed.
”I see… It is hard to walk away from your comfort zone, I know a lot about that feeling… But its always gets easy when there are people at your side to help you out.” I said.
She might feel similarly to how I felt when I was back in my home, my department. I was confined in my room for the most part, never getting out. It was desolate and lonely, but I had embraced this world and this life, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
But when the Ragnarök was about to start and I had to move out of the big city, I had felt a lot of fear, I didn't wanted to walk away from my comfort zone, my comfortable home… it hurt a lot to do, but I did it.
I had gone to my city after things were done, but my department was destroyed and alongside many others around it, my home was no longer my home, and well, I had grown outside of it already… now my divine realm was my home!
Of course, this beach is also my home too, a month here is enough for me to get used to its peculiarities… although I still don't like fighting dinosaurs all the time.
”Hm… Thank you, Gustav. I am glad I meet you.” She said. Xijun was a bit expressionless but she acted cutely sometimes.
”Eh? R-Really?” I asked.
”Yeah… You give me delicious chocolate and sweets. You're really the most amazing thing I've ever met to be able to bring to me such things.” She said while nodding.
”Gah…! I knew it was going to have some weird twist, you're only introduced in my candies…” I sighed.
”Of course, I would be lying if I said I didn't cared about you.” Said Xijun.
”Oh?! Xijun…” I said.
”…Because you bring me the candies and chocolates, so I can't possible discard you.” She said.
”Agh…! You're so cold sometimes!” I said.
”Sorry. I was just joking around…” she said with a slight giggle.
”Oh?! Who would had thought you would have a sense of humor…” I said surprised.
”See? I can also be funny sometimes.” She said while nodding.
”You sure can… But you scared me more than anything. Anyways, I think you've acquired your strength by doing that meditation, it is probably not much to you, but your grandpa might had been a big shot secretly.” I said.
”Big shot? But he was a humble fisher.” Said Xijun.
