Side Story – Sometimes DLC is good # 4

━Crab Grab.

The huge crab grab’s back was surprisingly comfortable to ride.

It was so bad that the teacup didn’t shake in the choppy sea.

Thanks to that, I was able to calmly enjoy the tea served to me by Siren elder Calypso.

They said it was a tea brewed from sea black tea leaves picked from the sea.

It was saltier than I expected, so it felt more like warm seaweed soup than ‘tea’.

“It’s delicious. Thank you.”

I was already hungry.

As the warm seaweed soup entered my body, warmth flowed through my blood vessels and I felt like my body was revitalized.

At the same time, letters appeared before my eyes.

「Your affinity for the sea increases.

You will be able to breathe even in seawater. 24H”

There is an effect of being able to breathe even in sea water.

It was my first time eating food like this.

The world was moving from something I knew well to a tomorrow that even I couldn’t predict, and the same was true with food.

Foods that I had never tasted and whose effects I could not predict were being developed indiscriminately.

“Now, the storm will soon begin to rage. “You won’t die even if you fall into the sea, so don’t be nervous or go wild.”

Calypso warned me.

Even without that, I was a little nervous because of the typhoon in the sea in the distance.

Kwarung, Kwarung-!

It was literally a typhoon raging in the sea.

The waves were crashing, the clouds were pouring down rain and lightning, and as a human being, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Swoosh-.

I held on tighter to the handle-like horn that extended from Grab’s back.

Whiooo-!

Kwarung, Kwarung-!

In a swirling typhoon.

Grab swam inside without stopping.

If I lose my mind even for a moment, will I just fly into the typhoon and become a water ghost?

It took a few minutes to feel for myself why the veteran captains did not want to go to the sanctuary waters.

In my experience, I thought I would have lasted about ten minutes.

Clink─.

The bright sunlight poured down on my rain-soaked head.

When I raised my eyes, the dazzling sunlight seemed to sting my eyes.

“The change is dramatic.”

Is this the eye of a typhoon?

The sea was peaceful.

And under the beautiful sunlight, I could see something that looked like a temple built in the sea.

“Where?”

“It’s the temple of Goddess Charybdis.”

It is the temple of the goddess.

It was a temple just like I thought.

What was unusual was that the temple was floating as if half submerged in the sea.

When entering the temple, it would be a good idea to take off your shoes and socks and roll up your pants to your knees.

Coral and colorful shells were beautifully decorated, and the emerald sea water splashed and wet my feet.

Swaaa, swaaa-.

I slowly entered the temple while listening to the impressive sound of the waves.

“It’s making a splash. Dot, dot, dot dot, dot dot dot-dot dot dot-.”

In the temple of the goddess Charybdis, there were several nymphs with wet hair.

I was singing a strange song, a song I had heard before somewhere.

“If you have come to meet the goddess, you must first deal with our sea nymphs… !”

“Mmm, we have to solve the problem… !”

“Hoeeeee-!”

What are nymphs─.

With that in mind, I asked the nymphs.

“What’s the problem?”

“That… This is a general knowledge quiz about the sea… ! Then the problem… ! Let me tell you why sea water is salty… !”

Why is sea water salty?

Of course, it’s probably because it contains salt.

“This may be because salt washed down from the land and various components, including salt, dissolve into seawater due to the eruption of underwater volcanoes.”

It was a question that could be easily answered if you had taken a class at Ludens Academy.

However, the sea nymphs tapped the shells with their sticks as if they had been waiting.

Ding-!

It was a clear and clear sound.

Soon, a blue-haired nymph with a starfish hanging on her head like a decorated spoke.

“The reason the sea water is salty is because Saltnoi, the nymph of salt water, lost the magic millstone that the goddess had given her when she fell into the sea… !”

What are you talking about?

When I felt puzzled, the nymphs added an explanation.

“The goddess’s millstone produces infinite amounts of salt! Saltnoy lost it somewhere in the ocean… ! That’s why the sea became salty… !”

“I see.”

It was like a fairy tale.

However, because this world was originally strange, it was not strange if something like this actually happened.

In the end, I didn’t get the question right.

Of course it didn’t matter.

Zek-.

Candy always works well for nymphs.

I handed out well-packaged honey candy from my pocket to the nymphs, and they jumped into the sea with a plop.

He calmly gets out of the way.

With that feeling, I advanced further and entered the interior of the temple.

Inside the temple, there was a huge statue of a god.

It was a statue of a goddess holding a trident, and the lower body was a fish.

The size of the statue is approximately 10 meters.

Just when I thought it was quite magnificent, I found a familiar face underneath the statue.

It was also a nymph, and it was singing a strange song like the nymphs we met earlier.

Its name is probably seawater nymph Cirriole.

He must have been Crabnoy’s friend.

“Ciriol, it’s been a while. Arnoy said he missed you and told you to say hello.”

I spoke to the seawater nymph Cirriole.

Then, Mr. Ciriol laughs.

“Does this ciriole still look like an innocent nymph? If so, it is a miscalculation. Seawater nymph Siriole is actually a beautiful goddess… !”

Hwiooo-.

The waves swirled around and wrapped around Ciriol’s body.

For a moment, I hope to be briefly overwhelmed by the emerald whirlpool-.

When the whirlpool disappeared, a woman of the same size and appearance as the statue was looking down at me.

She was a mysterious woman with hair as dark as seaweed and eyes like the sea.

“Is it. Siriol, you were the goddess Charybdis.”

“Yes, great hero Viktor. The winner of the game. Because you defeated the Game Master, I was able to escape the curse of being trapped in the body of a nymph.”

I see.

I don’t know what happened, but it worked.

“Originally, no one would have been allowed into this sanctuary, but since it is you, Victor, I have allowed you in especially, so you can be grateful.”

“Thanks. “Then, can you give me the seven-color coral gem?”

“It’s a simple story. But I also have circumstances. “You must have heard from the nymphs why the sea water is salty, right?”

“Okay, what kind of millstone are you talking about?”

“The story is true. The sea water continues to be salty thanks to the sunken millstone. “I am somehow holding on with my own strength now, but the age of the gods is coming to an end.”

“Really?”

The age of gods is drawing to a close.

It would mean that the world is changing.

“I want to find the millstone before my strength runs out. Viktor, with your newly acquired eyes as a Game Master, you will be able to recognize it easily. Please find me a millstone.”

I briefly touched my eyes, which were covered by an eyepatch.

If you use this eye, which shows all future results, you can easily solve many problems.

Of course I didn’t want to do that.

“These eyes show so much. I don’t really want to use it. “Is there any other way than using these eyes?”

“Hmm, I don’t think you’ll ever become the second game master. It was disappointing, but at the same time, I was relieved. If so, fine. Let me tell you another way. There is a well in this temple.”

It’s a well.

As I was looking around, the sea goddess added a few words.

“The well is connected to the millstone. However, due to the tsunami that occurred while I was trapped in the body of a nymph and unable to manage the sea, the area near the well is full of sea trash and debris.”

“I see.”

“I wish you would take that away.”

“Okay.”

I immediately dived into the sea.

The basement of the temple of the goddess Charybdis was full of all kinds of trash, including shattered corals, seaweed, and the remains of collapsed ships.

Is there an entrance to a well somewhere here?

Even if I were to clean up all of this, it would take me a year—when I think about that—.

Splash, splash-.

I heard the sound of spray coming from somewhere.

When I turned my head, I saw mermaids with smooth lower bodies like fish surrounding me.

“Victor! “We will help you!”

“Because you are our benefactor!”

“Hurry and carry the broken coral and seaweed!”

Sirens.

They helped me carry the debris from the sea.

* * *

The reason I helped the Sirens was not specifically for their sake.

At the time, I didn’t have much free time to help anyone.

I just did what I had to do, and as a result, I ended up breaking the Sirens’ curse.

However, they seemed to feel grateful towards me.

“Victor, this is how I repay my debt!”

“Come visit the sea often!”

“It’s nice to come to Ssangwoldo with your family!”

Crackling, squealing-.

The mermaids quickly cleared away the piles of debris and trash.

Perhaps because there were so many, it didn’t take more than an hour.

“The sirens who resemble me and have strong pride follow me well.”

Charybdis seemed quite surprised by this situation.

I’m equally surprised.

But I couldn’t just admire it.

I could see the entrance to a well in the sea.

As I moved into it, numerous torrents swept through my body.

Was the well actually an underwater cave?

“Write-.”

If this continues, I might end up lost in an underwater cave.

The underwater cave was extremely cramped for the sirens to enter.

It was a time when I was worried about many things.

━Crab, crab-.

A familiar crying sound was heard.

When I turned my head, I saw a large crab swimming back and forth in front of me.

“You are a crapno.”

━Crab-.

“Follow me?”

Crabnoy made his way inside the narrow underwater cave.

I also followed behind him and swam for a while…

I arrived at a place that could be described as a wide cavity within an underwater cave.

It was a place where a wrecked ship had sunk and a lot of jewels and treasures were piled up, but what caught my eye the most was the millstone placed on top of the jewels.

I can’t believe I got this far with everyone’s help.

“I thought I was just desperate to survive each day. “If I think about it now, it seems like the path I took wasn’t wrong.”

━Crab Crab.

“Crapnoy, I’m glad I met you.”

I went up to the temple holding the millstone and held it out to the goddess.

“That’s interesting. It was faster than I thought. Good. Since I received the millstone, I will give you the seven-colored coral gem as promised. It is a precious item, so take it carefully.”

“Oh.”

I completed the first quest easier than I thought.

Are there two left now?

「Ancient ice caps」.

And 「Tears of the Moon」.

I vaguely knew that the ancient ice cap was located in the snowy mountains north of Ludens.

But I couldn’t feel the tears of the moon.

Since there is already a goddess, should I ask her?

“Have you ever heard of something called ‘Moon Tears’?”
