CH 44.2

The other asked;

“Are you starting right away?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Then… if something goes wrong with your body, please tell me right away.”

Havel immediately unleashed his magic.

Blue light gathered in his hand, and I slowly absorbed the light into my body.

I felt the magic that filled my whole body. After gaining super sensory, I felt the energy such as magic much better.

The magical effect appeared immediately.

Even if I didn’t breathe in or breathe out, I didn’t feel stuffy at all.

“This is amazing,” said Havel with a slightly startled look on his face.

“The young master has never used magic, but the enchantment’s efficiency is considerable, isn’t it?”

“Efficiency?”

“I think you have a high affinity for magic. Whether its martial arts or magic, if you honed your magic properly, you’ll be great.”

What, he meant I had a talent for magic?

I thought it was lip service, but looking at his expression, it didn’t seem like that.

It didn’t matter now, so I turned my attention back to the lake.

Then···

Where should I begin?

There’s no reason to drag things out.

I started taking off the clothes I was wearing one by one.

It was impossible to swim in the water in these thick clothes.

So I took it all off except for the thin T-shirt and pants I was wearing underneath.

“I’ll leave it to you.”

“···Oh, yes.”

With a slightly bewildered face, Asher carefully accepted the clothes I had taken off.

“Oh, and be careful not to move too vigorously in the water, young master.”

I listened to Havel’s warning and sent the two back to the carriage.

I was going to be in the water for a while, so they didn’t have to stay it here.

“Hmmmm…”

Alone, I relaxed lightly and approached right in front of the surface of the water.

There wasn’t much pressure on diving.

This was because one of the other specialties I could show off, having been immersed in games all my life, was scuba diving.

Unlike me, my brother, who was very active, would take me out of the house and carry me around on holidays. Skiing or climbing.

Among them, scuba diving was the one that my brother and I especially enjoyed together. Because it suited my taste.

Of course, I was naked right now, but I had super regeneration and could move without getting tired, so I was not worried.

Splash!

I dived into the water and immediately checked my breathing again. There’s no problem.

The mana consumed while holding my breath was also clearly felt through my super sensory, so there was no problem here either.

…

Havel said that the enchantment efficiency of my body was good, so that’s why.

I swam slowly, moving my limbs.

The super sensory made the vision in front as clear as on the ground whether I didn’t expect that the effect would be the same underwater.

As I went deeper, fishes passed by me one by one.

I stopped at a suitable point and started moving sideways, looking at the wall of the lake.

From now on until I found the mystery, it was an endless struggle in this way.

. . . And roughly two hours passed.

I grabbed the stone beak protruding from the wall, stopped my body, and sighed inwardly.

There is no end to this.

I expected it, but after experiencing it myself, it felt different.

I went back for once because my magic power was slowly dropping.

I went back to where I marked the starting location and went up to the ground.

Returning to the carriage, Asher and Baros were having a meal with Havel.

“…Are you here, sir?”

Seeing my wet look, Baros briefly twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his head.

It may have been subconsciously, but I could see it very well because of my super sensory. The other obviously wanted to laugh at my current appearance.

Havel asked me.

“Did you find what you’re looking for, young master?”

I shook my head.

“I think it’s going to take a lot longer than I thought.”

Drying myself over the campfire, I ate with them.

And in the late afternoon, I went back to the lake and continued the exploration, but again, the mystery could not be found. That day’s exploration was over.

A week passed like that.

I came to the lake early this morning, and I swam in the water in search of the mystery.

However, because I still couldn’t see even the tail of this mystery, doubts arose whether this could actually be done.

Is it really possible to find it?

If I could, I would have already used a lot of manpower for this, but I can’t because I was looking for a mystery.

I lay in the water for a moment, drifting blankly, meditating.

If I had the certainty that I could find it, I would invest no matter how long it took, but the problem was that I wasn’t sure.

It was when I was thinking about whether I should postpone the search for the space leap until later…

“···?”

I could sense a huge monster approaching quickly from afar.

The next thing that appeared in sight was a gigantic shark. Almost the size of a ship.

【Lv. 51]

As soon as it saw me, it opened its mouth wide and rushed towards me.

This bastard.

I immediately tried to shoot a drop of blood using blood magic.

But then, again, I sense another one approaching quickly from the other side.

Blue magic energy cut through the current and hit the body of the shark that was rushing towards me.

Whoops!

The shark that was hit directly by the attack struggled in pain and lost consciousness.

Then I felt something approaching me, grabbing my waist.

I looked at the one who grabbed my waist.

A woman with blue hair covered with scales.

It seemed like she thought I was in danger and was trying to save me.

I couldn’t speak because I was in the water, so she caught me and dragged to the ground in an instant, knowing nothing. Why was this girl so fast?

“···Whoa!”

The woman who came out to the ground exhaled heavily, then looked at me as I sat blankly and shouted.

“Hey! Are you crazy, human? Did you go so deep intending to die?!”

“···”

“Hey, I’m totally blown away. You’re so lucky. I was really planning to ignore you, but I still ended up saving you.”

She grunted like that and started wiping away the moisture from her body.

Then, the scales that had been covered with water began to slowly return to the human skin.

I opened my eyes a little when I saw that.
