The Heir of the Sea
Foibles

"What's wrong?"

Ethan rushes to Baruna's apartment when he receives a message from Snowy saying something urgent.

Of course Ethan panics and thinks something happened to Baruna. She doesn't want anything until it happens to her lover considering what Baruna did was all dangerous.

"You've come? Let's eat first" Baruna said casually.

Ethan who saw Baruna immediately hugged his lover.

"I think something happened to you" said Ethan, who was very anxious. His tone was so unsettled.

"Nothing - what. There are only important things we should discuss about Moon Pearls. So now we better eat first because a lot of things that will make us more tired of thinking about it" Baruna said as she patted Ethan's back gently.

Slowly Ethan took off his embrace. He looked inside Baruna as if he was looking for the truth if Baruna was fine and only wanted to discuss the issue of Moon Pearls.

"I'm right - fine. Let's eat first" said Baruna gently touching Ethan's cheek.

Ethan obediently follows Baruna who leads him to sit at the dinner table. They seem to eat together.

Almost every day they will eat dinner together or breakfast together, a unique habit that they pass later is certainly very fun.

Finish dinner together. Baruna, Ethan, Snowy and Kitty were sitting together on the living room sofa to talk about the Moon Pearls.

"I feel like moon pearls are in Rico's hands" Baruna said.

Ethan and Snowy reflexively look at each other. Snowy quite agrees with Baruna because Baruna has a strong instinct when it comes to belonging to sea creatures.

"You feel something?" Ethan asked seriously.

"Yes. The strong smell of the sea. Not the usual smell of the sea. It is big suspicion that Rico has been interrupting the Queen of Mermaids" said Baruna sounded serious.

"Ah yes it is. Yesterday the tiger's mustache and fangs were from Rico. He said he got it from the tiger king. I don't know if I don't understand. Maybe you can figure that out" said Ethan, who remembers the tiger whiskers and fangs he got from Rico.

"You serious? He said that?" Baruna asked to make sure Ethan didn't make it up.

"How dare I joke about this" Ethan replied, smiling at Baruna.

"That means the new tiger king abdicated and was replaced by his son is likely to be killed by Rico" Snowy said.

Ethan's reflexes turned towards Snowy. Snowy knew about it. The incident 3 years ago when the world in the forest across the dragon island was in an uproar because the new tiger King abdicated and replaced by his son was found dead with wounds all over the body.

His fangs are like forced pulling. The mustache is gone too. Even some of his fur looked sompel and his skin was badly injured.

At first everyone thought he was attacked by the people because he was considered willing to attack the people. But the thing that makes it confusing is how the fangs can be lost.

"He's crazy to dare to do that. Horrible human" Snowy continued while shaking his head.

"She wants to be an immortal psychic if she does the crazy thing right, only a psychic has the desire to penetrate the eternal science that dares to be crazy" continued Baruna.

Ethan shudders at the thought of the insane and terrible Rico. If it was true that Rico dared to kill the Tiger King meant it was easy for him to kill his fellow humans as well.

It's worth it when Frans felt useless directly dumped by Rico.

"I was curious about the moon pearl but I couldn't get into her area to check" Baruna said.

"Why?" Ethan asked confusedly.

"many creatures are standing guard around his house. If I wanted to enter there would definitely be a war and Rico would have realized my existence. If he doesn't have the moon pearl then I will easily defeat him and give him a punishment. But if he had that thing then I would never be able to hurt him. It's free if I fight to wreak havoc on the ground. The negative energy effects will trigger disease for residents around where he lives" Baruna explained at length.

Indeed a lot of consideration Baruna considering the location of Rico's house is at the end of the city and of course there are neighbors around it.

It would be sickening for Baruna to report to the sky if it was true that she had to fight with the creatures there to make the surrounding community suffer from disease without cause due to the negative energy of the battle.

"I saw something yesterday in his wooden box. A round object like a shining pearl. When I touched it I saw something strange. It's like seeing visions of the future or the past that aren't about me" Ethan explained.

Baruna and Snowy were simultaneously staring at Ethan with shocked looks. If Ethan can see something, does Ethan really have a protector or magical power like a psychic? Ordinary humans could not possibly sense something like that if there was no power enveloping it.

"Why don't you tell me?" Ask Baruna wonder. Ethan did not say anything the night after Ethan from Rico's house.

He did not think it was important for Baruna to know. He thought it was just a coincidence and a thing that had nothing to do with him nor Baruna. Especially when Ethan's focus only makes Rico do not care about Frans' condition so that Baruna can really complete her mission of revenge.

"What do you see?" Ask Snowy to Ethan.

"Ah that. A woman who died at Rico's hands and her blood hit the pearl. And the woman's lips said 'The heir will destroy you this time'. Yeah, that's it" Ethan said, telling me what he saw when he touched the pearl.

Snowy and Baruna looked at each other and sighed heavily. It is true that the moon pearl is in Rico's hands. And they had to devise a way for the pearl to be carried away from Rico's side.

If not, it will be free. Baruna will not be able to subdue the psychic who unsettles the soft world.

Seeing Baruna and Snowy's expression made Ethan guess that the pearl he touched was the moon pearl.

"So it's true that it's the moon pearl?" Ask Ethan to make sure.

"You can see the woman's vision by yourself saying that the heir lady will destroy Rico, right? Who do you think Miss heir is meant to be? There is only one in this world who has that title" Snowy said, glancing at Baruna.

Ethan recalls that Baruna is a special creature that inherits the sea and the dragons. That meant that only Baruna could hunt Rico and that was the thing he had to do.

Given that RIco is a crazy psychic who has messed up many magical worlds. Things that a human should not do. Because your world is your world. And my world is my world.

All composure and composition in the world must be maintained equally. Magical creatures must not go far into the human world. Likewise, humans must not go far to disturb supernatural civilizations.

"He's right to have it means we can't attack him recklessly" said Baruna, who was seen thinking of the way.

"We have to know how to conquer that thing. Didn't you say that all things must have their advantages and disadvantages. Then there's a way to conquer that thing" Ethan said, staring at Baruna and Snowy.

"You're right. Then tomorrow, Snowy and I will find out about it. You have to be careful as long as I'm not around. Stay away from Rico don't get too close. I'm afraid he's trying to take advantage of you. Yesterday I saw a lot of virgin souls trapped in his car. It looks like he sacrificed a lot of blood" said Baruna, who was worried that Ethan was injured and instead became a puppet of Rico.

Just like Rico did with Frans. Although Frans was depraved, of course Rico was just as bad. It would have been impossible for Frans to easily conquer anyone all this time without Rico's help as well.

"Bring Kitty up. He's a bearer of luck and can dispel all bad things" Snowy said.

Ethan stares in surprise at Snowy and Kitty alternately. The little cat seemed to understand Snowy immediately jumped up and sat on Ethan's lap.

"Just feed him and drink. He won't trouble you. He can pee in the bathroom" Snowy explained again who was worried Ethan would refuse for fear of taking care of the little cat's feces.

"It's okay for me to clean up the poop. But you don't mind if I bring your little friend?" Ethan asked Snowy.

"No. He better stay with you because I have to accompany Baruna and can't come back at all times to take care of her" Snowy explained casually.

"alright. You're coming with me, Kitty. We're going to sleep in one room and you're coming with me in the office, yeah" Ethan said, cradling Kitty.

"Miaawww" Kitty looks happy and comfortable with Ethan. Though previously the cat was very afraid and anti with other humans.

Even now if Snowy takes him on the street then Kitty will still ask in her cradle and be afraid to see other humans. He's still traumatized and doesn't believe in the man who nearly killed him.

With Ethan alone Kitty looks calm and likes to play. They've been familiar for a long time.

"Well then I go home with Kitty. You guys be careful. If you're back in the human world please tell me" said Ethan who understands Baruna and Snowy will look for clues in other worlds.

"You also have to be careful" said Baruna who was very anxious about Ethan's condition. He's afraid Ethan's in Rico's wound when he's not around.

But seeing Kitty the lucky cat made Baruna a little relieved.

"I know. I'm going, baby" said Ethan, then kissed Baruna on the forehead.

After Ethan leaves Baruna's apartment,

Baruna and Snowy prepare to meet up to find out who can give them advice. Because they did not have much time to go around continuously to find out about the weakness of the Moon Pearl.
