Fake Princess
Cdxlix Chapter
“What's up, Eneas?” I asked her to swim closer to her.
“She, did not want if I approached her,” Aeneas replied by pulling his hand back from the Hippocampus that was in front of her.
I turned, staring at the blue-colored Hippocampus that was always moving backwards as Eneas approached it. “Kou, do you know what happened?” I muttered back to look at Eneas and the animal took turns.
“The animal, is an animal that is only devoted to the Mermaids. Meanwhile, Eneas himself .. His soul was once held by aanjing.”
“You mean, Selkie?”
“I don't really know what kind of creature of that race he is, which I know, if he is aanjing,” Kou timpal told me.
“Because of Selkie's magic, it's still left inside Eneas' body. So he, would not be able to contract with those horses. Like that, said by the Mermaid King to me,” continued Kou back.
“Is there no other way to do it?”
“That horse, will die if you still force him to do just that. Because of that fish and aanjing, opposite each other.” I was speechless as the last words Kou spoke ringed in my head.
I glanced at Eneas who was still looking at the Hippocampus before him, “you cannot contract with any of them, Eneas. Magic belongs to the creature that imprisoned your life first, is still left and that's the biggest reason, why he rejected you,” said I who made Eneas turn his head.
Eneas glanced to the left, “really? If that's true, I don't really care about it. I, will meet Lux on the surface,” he said turned around and swam away.
“What is this horse dead?”
I turned to look at Izumi and swam over to her, “what name did you give her, nii-chan?” I asked him to stop swimming next to him.
“Because her body has so many colors, so I named her Rainbow,” said Izumi directed her index finger to touch the head of the Hippocampus lying unconscious nearby.
“Pe- Rainbow? You, indeed can not give a good name, nii-chan.”
“Don't tell me that,” said Izumi turned to look at me, “you just gave her the name Kuro, just because her body is black,” grunts her by pointing at Kuro.
“I did it because I didn't know if I was going to do a contract. After all, Kuro is not a bad name,” I said as I swam back to Kuro.
“Sachi, is he dead? I put my hand on her forehead and gave her a name, but she suddenly fell unconscious,” Izumi's voice said behind me.
“That's the way it is, nii-chan, we have to wait for her, if she comes back to her senses... She will be your animal, if she is unconscious again, you guys are not meant to be together, you are not meant to be,” answered me without looking at her one bit.
“Then, what should we do?”
“Nothing, we'll stay by the beach tonight. Tomorrow, we will just continue the journey,” I said as I swam closer to Haruki, “nii-chan, have you not done it?” I asked him who was seen rubbing the neck of the Hippocampus in front of him.
“I have done it, I gave it the name Grissham, which means ‘from the land that gives happiness’,” Haruki said by again stroking the head of the silver Hippocampus.
Him, doing? But, the animal is okay?
“Kou, what happened?” I muttered again while looking at Haruki and the Hippocampus in front of him.
I waited for an answer that never came out of Kou, “ada someone who was born a leader. Like the leader in general, he will very easily conquer anything, maybe Haruki ... One of the things I mean,” he said which suddenly re-sounds in the mind.
I turned my eyes to Haruki and Izumi who had swam back towards the mainland, “if what you said was true. Isn't it, he who is more deserving of a contract with you, Kou,” I whispered while still looking at the two of them.
“What are you, not aware of it, My Lord?”
“You too, were born a leader. When you issue an order, they will obey it without the slightest hesitation. You just haven't realized how awesome you are, My Lord. Because of the Dragons, choosing themselves a Master whom they consider worthy of service, and to me .. You are the most deserving human being,”.
“Your words really calm the mind. As expected of the Dragon I raised,” I said slowly while swimming after Haruki and also Izumi who was getting away.
I raised my head back above the surface of the water, I raised my arms rubbing my face as my legs moved closer to the ground. “I'm so hungry,” said Izumi who had been lying on her back on the beach.
I walked up to them, “do you guys see where Lux is?” I asked by sitting next to Izumi.
“When I have returned to the mainland, I have not seen it,” I turn to Eneas who chimed in my words.
I set my eyes around, there was nothing I could find except the coconut trees that were lined up around. I glanced sideways as my hand felt touching something, “coconut fruit?” I muttered while grabbing the coconut fruit that was beside my hand earlier.
I again raised my gaze as several coconuts rolled closer to me, “I can't get any food we can eat except this coconut,” Lux's voice was followed by a small shadow that flew over.
“You are looking for us food, Lux?” I glanced at Izumi who had been sitting at the side.
“You haven't eaten from yesterday, have you? After all, that's all I can do,” Lux replied by landing her body sitting on one of the coconuts.
“Give me his darkness,” I turned towards Haruki with the sword in his grasp that I took while in the tunnel.
Izumi rolled one by one the coconuts towards Haruki, Haruki grabbed one of the coconuts and peeled it with the sword in his hand. “Do you think we'll be okay?” Izumi asked who moved with her feet towards Haruki.
“We will be fine as long as we avoid the Emperor. It's just that I don't really understand how to determine the direction in the ocean,” continued Haruki by returning the sword in his hand to the coconut.
“We only have to go North, right? If true, we will only rely on the constellation Ursa Major,” I said by moving and sitting near them.
I made seven dots form a dipper on the sand, “we just have to look for it, then move in the direction where the star is. That way, we'll get to the North,” I said grabbing a coconut that Haruki gave me.
“I understand. Fill the energy first, our journey is still long,” continued by again reaching for one coconut in front of him.
