— Rumble!
“Ugh, are you okay?”
“Gwae, it’s okay!”
After leaving the limousine, which was so narrow that it was difficult to move, Riringanor and I collided three times already. Each time, I apologized, and the grandfather driving in front also apologized. Each time, Riringanor smiled brightly and said it was okay.
What a good kid. It’s unclear whether she’s good even in her head.
“however… . “It’s because I really have a hard time suppressing my curiosity.”
“…”
“What are these machines? Because of this, the limousine became so cramped even though there were only three people in it.”
“I’m sorry it’s narrow.”
“No, I’m not nitpicking, but I’m curious about what these devices are.”
I understand your curiosity. In the first place, this limousine was so large that eight people, excluding Elena, who was sealed on the island, could ride comfortably.
But now, even though there are only three people on board, including my grandfather and I, and Riringanor, I am on the verge of bursting into laughter. This is because they laid down all the chairs and filled the empty space with very delicate and important devices.
“You really don’t know what it is?”
“yes? Do I need to know?”
“It’s not that I had to know, but I thought I would naturally notice. “It looks like the management bureau’s technical capabilities are great.”
Even though the transportation device is right next to the Sea God’s daughter, she doesn’t even know what’s next to her. Although it was new, I felt that the management bureau’s technological prowess had reached the realm of miracles.
I stood up slightly and looked behind me through the rear-view mirror to see a huge trailer following along. I’m glad the doctor can drive a car like that.
About 10 minutes later, we finally entered Haesang-ro heading to Haesin Island. Before he knew it, Riringanor began to panic without even asking what the mechanical devices around him were.
Who was the one who prepared the curse that struck us every time we first entered this resolution path?
There has already been an analysis that Riringanor is the likely candidate. The only groups capable of doing this are Serenade and the Management Bureau, Lee Su-ho and Riringanor, but Serenade and the Management Bureau have no reason to do so.
In the first and second attempts, we brought Riringanor to Sea God Island only after we had activated and destroyed the curse of resolution in advance, but now the curse is working fine.
“Hey, over there!”
“…”
“hey!”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Can you stop the car for a moment? I am… . “I’m in a hurry to go to the bathroom!”
“Foot!”
The grandfather must have been unable to bear it and ended up laughing.
“hey?”
“Kid, it looks like the curse prepared on your leg makes it impossible to identify enemies, right? “We’re going to stop halfway anyway, so don’t worry too much.”
For a moment, Riringanor’s expression froze like ice. The girl who was talking about various things with me just a moment ago seemed to have disappeared somewhere.
“… You’re saying something strange.”
“You didn’t do anything strange, did you?”
“I don’t know what grandpa is talking about. Surely, there was a crisis on Sea God Island, so you just followed me because I was going to check on the situation? “Anyway, how could a weak road like this support such a heavy trailer?”
“Eight! Are you trying to use strange powers? Shut up! “Elena, who is the original source of that ability, can’t use it so recklessly, so why are you like this?”
“town! town! “I can’t take this hand off right now!”
“Aaaah! Don’t bite! Don’t bite! I didn’t come here to fight you! It’s the opposite. “I came to apologize to the god you serve!”
This guy isn’t really crazy!
In that moment, Riringanor bit my hand with its clenched teeth, causing blood to flow out in a moment. At the same time, the spark of affection for Riringanor that remained in my heart was extinguished in an instant!
Is this a person? Oh, it wasn’t a human in the first place, it was a fish-man, right? But isn’t it just a dog now?
“Are you coming to apologize to the sea god? “What on earth-”
Seeing is worth hearing.
Rather than talking about this and that a million times, it would be better to make people see it once. Immediately, the transport mechanism in the limousine was partially opened. Riringanor looked completely entranced after seeing the contents.
The car was very quiet until we arrived at Sea God Island.

After listening to her grandfather’s long explanation, Serenade expressed her feelings in just one sentence.
“… Are you asking me to believe that?”
Honestly, it’s an absurd story. Even if someone tells you, it’s not easy to believe.
The former Deep Sea Saint sold the Sea God’s family members to the Management Bureau, and the Management Bureau has been using the family members for biological experiments for over 20 years. Accordingly, the sea god, consumed by anger and despair, attempts to cause a catastrophe through Suho Lee and Riringanor.
Of course, it would be a matter of showing Serenade the ‘evidence’ that persuaded Riringanor.
Although Serenade was skeptical, she followed her grandfather toward the limousine. The moment the transport device opened in front of Serenade, she was speechless.
An opaque water tank, many intricately tangled wires, and snails smaller than my fist floating inside the tank. As the ecstatic Serenade absentmindedly stretched out her hand, the rudakhs wriggled on her arm, as if asking for her salvation.
Meanwhile, the doctor driving the trailer opened up even more transport devices right before Serenade’s eyes. The serenade of approximately 200 Rudachs eventually broke the silence.
“Is there more?”
“Governor, these entities are only a small number. The Bureau has been cloning and cultivating Rudach in large quantities for decades. Unfortunately, we couldn’t save them all.”
“Then the remaining entities… .”
“We’ll take you to the lab. We’re going to need at least 20 more trailers of this size right now. Rudach itself is small, but these transportation devices are bigger than you think.”
“… wait a minute. I guess there’s something I need to do before that. “I guess I have some time, right?”
“Rather than asking me, it would be better to ask your brother. Miss Riringanor, what do you think? Will saving the Sea God’s family from a tragedy help appease the Sea God’s anger?”
“…”
Serenade, who had been distraught as she continued to receive shocking information, finally seemed to come to her senses and looked at Riringanor.
A person that Serenade only thought of as a young and immature younger sibling.
It turned out that such a child was a limb of the sea god who went one step further than himself and was responsible for his anger. What is Serenade thinking now? Feeling betrayed? sadness? Or is it unique?
The two sisters stared at each other in an unknown atmosphere. At that time, the doctor placed his hand on my shoulder.
“Governor, we will wait outside.”
“Take this. On the outskirts of the island – Well, if you say so, I already know the location. “If you go to the hospital and show me this card, you will be able to wake Elena up.”
— Snap!
“It seems like it’s a family affair, so let’s let it resolve itself.”
The doctor played with the wooden piece Serenade gave him and suggested going to wake Elena up. Then, her grandfather made a strange noise.
“Hmm… .”
“grandfather?”
“Both of you, come here and have a look.”
The color of the sky is strange. A murky color that I can’t understand at all. Gray light slowly spread out as if coloring the sky.
“Elder. Is that the ‘means of shaking up the administration’ that Miss Ari mentioned yesterday?”
“… I guess so.”
“It’s extremely ominous. Just in case, it wouldn’t be a ridiculous ending where we fail because the world collapses because we couldn’t stop it, right?”
“well… .”
“grandfather?”
“You two, stop asking me questions. Seungyeop, don’t you already know? There is quite a difference in experience between me and Ari. He said, “I don’t know everything that Ari knows.” “I don’t know what that is.”
Ugh! When the story about Ari’s ‘career’ came up, I flinched.
I’m not stupid either! Although I’ve never asked her outright, I still can’t help but notice that Ari’s experience and age are unusual.
“excuse me… . grandfather.”
“hmm?”
“Ari, did you get married outside? Hey, maybe! “It turns out that I have a son who is older than me!”
“… ask him directly. And please find someone your age. “It would be better to find a human if possible.”
“…”

“Elder, do you think Ms. Eunsol and Ms. Songi will do well?”
“What, are you anxious?”
“Honestly, yes. “I thought that the last resort I had prepared would be useless if the management bureau just went out of its way.”
“It will be difficult. “Because we put in place a plan that prevents that from happening.”
“board?”
“The Management Bureau is an organization that can overcome any opposition from outside if it thinks it is right. but.”
“but?”
“Now, their faith in the ‘project’ will be shaken. Because they faced a shocking situation where the new human race they had trusted so much was swayed by Jincheol and attacked them. In that situation, what Eunsol and Songi are trying to do is quite effective.”
“Is that so?”
“furthermore.”
“furthermore?”
“In the first place, I don’t know if the current management bureau will be able to properly respond to external manipulation.”
Looking at the direction the old man’s finger was pointing and the ominous gray, rotting sky, Sanghyun understood what he meant. If it were a normal management bureau, it would be difficult for the management bureau that is currently preventing that unidentified disaster to block the ‘last hit’ that Lee Eun-sol and Yoo Song-i will unleash.
Suddenly, Sang-hyeon’s thought occurred to him who would own the inheritance once the process reached its conclusion. The number of survivors is quite large, and it was not resolved through the active participation of just one person. There are more than one person who can claim ownership of the inheritance.
Sanghyun chuckled. They forgot that this is not a party that will split again over this issue. It will be decided appropriately. At least they are not the ones who will cause conflict over that issue. That’s why I was able to come this far.
In the evening, the three daughters of the sea god, including Elena, who had been released from the seal, gathered together and held a requiem with the fish people of the island. I hope that the families of the Sea God who died in pain can find rest.
So we also desperately hoped to be freed from this room.
