Kiet to a coastline and 'summon' his new pet, the Kraken
Since the East Sea would be too full with tourists and vacationers, his new destination was going to be the South Coast
Vruuoong~
The top-end sports car roared out a throaty exhaust note as it scythed past Yoseon-Dong
He spottedAlche hih on his skin, now that this area was being cos Alchemy
However, when he thought about the fact that this change was only possible due to the Goblin Alchemist's actions, he couldn't help but feel excessively proud of hiripped the steering wheel tighter
He drove past Yoseon-Dong slohile sightseeing Then, he happened to spot a very familiar back of a certain Elf Wizard/Alche that snohite robe Sae-Jin had made personally, so he could spot her way too easily
But the way she walked seee She stumbled and faltered about as if she was drunk, and there was a distinct lack of energy to her steps Sae-Jin tilted his head in confusion From his memory, her strides were the very definition of a queen bee strutting around in pure haughtiness, so…
Sae-Jin lowered the speed of the car and sidled up next to the person he thought was Hazeline He could spot the lower half of the face below the hood The pair of lips were unusually dried up and cracked, but they definitely belonged to Hazeline
A smile bloomed on Sae-Jin's lips and he winded theall the way down
”Miss Hazeline!!”
”Holy &!! M, mommy!?! Kkyahck!!”
His call ay too sudden Hazeline screaround face first
Khwang!
She squarely faceplanted into a round Shocked, Sae-Jin quickly jumped out of the car and rushed to her side
”Huh Are you alright?” (Sae-Jin)
When Sae-Jin held her shoulders and helped her to stand, he got glared at by a pair of gloo out from beneath the hood And just below them, a reddish, swollen nose with two slender strea down
”Ouch That looks like it ht hurt” (Sae-Jin)
He quickly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the blood away She re her face this way and that, before h, seriously You really surprisedout the name of a person so suddenly like that?” (Hazeline)
”Oh, ht fall down like this” (Sae-Jin)
”…Heu-eup Come on now, this is just too much…” (Hazeline)
Suddenly, tears see whimpers leaked out every now and then, so Sae-Jin could feel the chilly stares of the passersby stabbing hiet in the car There are too nise o…” (Hazeline)
”In that case, let me take you home” (Sae-Jin)
Sae-Jin shoved Hazeline into the passenger seat, then rapidly slid into the driver's Fortunately enough, most of the passersby were Alche past the duo in the car like a river's water
”Fuu… By the here was your house again?” (Sae-Jin)
Hazeline didn't say a word, instead si the blood from her nose
”…Would you like soic so no need” (Hazeline)
”Ah… sure” (Sae-Jin)
Sae-Jin wanted to ask why she was still sing the blood, if that was the case… but the current mood didn't allow him to utter this bit out
”Uhm… Then, should we head off towards the Alchemy House, instead?” (Sae-Jin)
As a reply to Sae-Jin's inquiry, Hazeline turned the topic around to a completely unrelated matter
”Why haven't you answered me back?” (Hazeline)
”…Excuse me?” (Sae-Jin)
”You didn't even pick up the phone For the whole month” (Hazeline)
”…Ahh”
His face turned deeply troubled in less than one second He had no access to his phone during his 'iround, and when he was rescued, there were over 2000 textthe adin to check who sent what
”I had this thing going on at the time… Really swarmed ork, I was W, well, when you return hoe to me I'll make sure to reply back to you in less than five lared at hiuy is…'
…Would this terrible guy even realise that she couldn't get a proper night's sleep for the past month or so because of worry and anxiety?
She was in despair during that tis and decided to stay away, or otten sick and tired of her
”Didn't Sae-Jung tell you about how busy I was?” (Sae-Jin)
”And ould she tell s?” (Hazeline)
Her voice was quite sharp
”…K, keheuo now?” (Sae-Jin)
”Where were you off to just now?” (Hazeline)
”Pardon?”
”Your destination Iso co companion arrived at a location in the South Coast where civilians were strictly prohibited fro on the rocks
The South Coast, with herwaves, did indeed feature a different type of charm to her when co?' (Sae-Jin)
However, this whole place felt weirdly familiar Was this a case of deja vu? It wasn't that he felt the sense of fa along with the currents of the ocean was the cause
”hello? Excuse me?” (Hazeline)
As Sae-Jin stood there utterlyat the distant horizon of the South Coast, a certain person standing next to him tapped on his arms
Of course, it was Hazeline
”What are you doing?” (Hazeline)
”…Oh Ah… well, so feels weirdly faained his senses, and then, pulled out the huge Mana Stone
”Have you come to the South Coast before?” (Hazeline)
Hazeline asked while taking a casual glance at the Mana Stone, before shi+fting her gaze back to Sae-Jin's face
”No, I have never come here before… But, from a far away, soing” (Sae-Jin)
Hidden within the salty aroma of the ocean, there was a faint but persistent aura He couldn't tell what it was - it felt fa and imparted a sense of uneasiness as well It may sounded like a contradictory description, but it was the only one he could come up with
”Perhaps - it could very well be the side effects youwith that of the Monster's That sense of belonging, could it be because of the sea Monster?” (Hazeline)
”…Eh?”
Hazeline asked hiht now, at least to him, did not feel like that, but since there was no other plausible explanation available right now, Sae-Jin nodded his head in a somewhat careless manner
”Well, it could be that” (Sae-Jin)
”…Please, be careful”
Suddenly, worried Hazeline reached out and hugged his arhtly The wonderful and otherworldly pair of 'volumes' previously hidden by the thick robe, transmitted their softness to his arm
”Oh, uh, I'll be fine For now… letabout in the car” (Sae-Jin)
Sae-Jin quickly assuo” (Sae-Jin)
He poured in his Mana into the half-a-football size Mana Stone Then, the Kraken's Stone changed into black gas and rose up like a dark dusty cloud And with a single breath froy flowed into his heart
