194 After Days: Yes, lets go to sea! (3) (2/2)
Even if the Kingdom of Palletia ever enters the river, it still only has the opportunity to enter the water to the point where its knees are immersed. When I came back from the sea, I was preached in a cordial manner that it was not the same as taking a bath or something. Why is that?
”No, if you don't have legs, you're not that different from a bath, are you? There's a little wave, but nothing unless you get to where your legs are off...”
”... it's frightening that I can't get my feet in the water”
Even that gakkun is butting in, and the Palettia Kingdom group is baffled. Look at us like that. Emperor Lukeheim calls out with a laughing aftertaste.
”Come on, Princess Anisphere. We were going to take the stage and get used to it, but Princess Anisphere blew it all up. No...”
”Yep...? Then tell me first.”
”Master Anisphere cares for us”
”Ouch!?”
Tsubishi, and Ilia's chop slapped me in the brain. Ugh, Ri, that's unreasonable...!
”I'm not that scared to go into the ocean! Scary though!”
”Which one is it?
”Let's just get in there until my knees are soaked, see?”
I invite everyone to come in until my ankle is soaked in water. But everyone seems hesitant to go into the ocean and I can't get my feet on it.
It was Charne who never came in first of all. When Sharne gets to my side, she moves her legs to do something about it.
”Wow, you don't feel pulled that far or taken off your feet”
”Want to go in some more to the back?
”Yes!”
Try to pull Charne's hand and take Charne to the point where he soaks in his hips. Charne, who is less tall than me, had moved several times where she soaked up to her waist, but little by little I see a colour that seems pleasant in that look.
”It's not like a bath, but it doesn't make that much of an extreme difference,”
”Isn't it? Just be careful under your feet because the waves can take your feet off you.”
”Yes!”
At this rate, I wonder if it's okay for Charne to let go of her hand. The next person, Gakun and Navr were stepping into the terrified sea when they turned their gaze toward the beach thinking,
”Ho... is this what it looks like”
”It's kind of like a big bath...”
”A lot of guys say this water weighs well again, don't they?
It was Falgana that was guiding the two of us. Navre makes sure he's in good shape and comes right in to the point where he dips into his hips. Gakun also comes into the ocean with Zabuzab to see if he's gradually ceased to be afraid.
”Oh, that doesn't sound so different from the river”
Then it was Raini who came in. I hesitated at first, but walked all the way down to the point where I dipped under my knees and soaked my hips all at once and came to my side.
”Raini, have you ever been in a river?
”Yes, as a child.”
Is that when we were still traveling? Raini seemed better than I thought. And then all that's left is...
”Priscilla, it's okay”
”... is it true?
”Ah.”
Falgana, who finished guiding Navre and Gakkun, was pulling Priscilla's hand. Priscilla was stepping into the sea taking Falgana's hand with a strange look on her face.
Turn your gaze toward the remaining Ufi and Ilia as you smile at it. But they both stayed on their feet at the wave strike.
”Yufi! Ilia! It's okay. Come here!
When I called, Uffi and Ilia stepped into the sea as they gave up face-to-face. Its speed was as slow as a tortoise, and every step of the way was prudent until it came to us.
There's a slightly higher wave there, water all the way to the chest at once. It's not transparent, but a perfectly stretched swimsuit makes you aware of your shape.
”... I knew this would be good?
”... anise”
Yufi calls me by my name in a cold voice to cast out evil thoughts. Yuffi avoids wet, sticky hair with her fingers looking depressed. Seeing that trick deepens my certainty that I'm glad I came to the sea after all.
”Well, well. Let's put our faces on the water next time. Hold your breath, close your eyes and put your face on the sea. So, when you calm down, it's time to open your eyes.”
”Oh, I can do that.”
Raini had fully adapted or even dived a little with his face on the water. Then he shows his face and shakes his puffy, wet hair as he exhales.
”Then this is how Yufi and Ilia...”
”Dear Anisphere,”
”... what, Ilia?
With a slightly more serious look, Ilia looked at my face jiggly. And Ilia tells me in a loud voice.
”People can't breathe in the water. After all, it may be that it is also an act contrary to the Spirit's teachings for humans to enter the sea. It's still good to soak yourself in the water to clean yourself up, but diving still involves a life crisis, and in good places where people step in -”
”... Could it be, are you scared?
Pita, and Ilia stopped moving. Was it the droplets that conveyed Ilia's cheek, or was it the sweat? Ilia turned away from me and silenced herself.
Grabbing such an Ilia hand, I try to pull towards the sea. Then Ilia stomped hard and stared at me.
”Please don't. It's the afterlife.”
”He said it was okay.”
”It's the first time I've never trusted you more with my Anisphere's health.”
”I was just diving and swimming, wasn't I?
”Unlike Master Anisphere, I am in the realm of common sense...!
... Ilia desperate to resist. Such a tingling sensation in Ilia is running through my spine, and when my prank heart swells, it boils.
”Ilia... it's okay...”
”What is it, that sweet voice?... Why are you pulling, please stop. Um, stop...! Please don't! Master Ufiria! Raini! Please help!
It gets interesting and pulls together because Ilia desperately resists. As Yufi shuddered at the sight, Raini stared with a bitter smile.
In the end, the pull was that Ilia pushed me out as I pulled momentum, flashly raising the water splash and my sinking into the sea made me och.
