"No matter what, we must immediately check the status of the launch silo - but why is seawater emerging from the sealed launch silo...?"

Noah shook his head in disbelief.

Even if that were the case, he found it hard to believe that seawater could inexplicably appear from inside the underwater fortress - it was as if it had been teleported.

The resistance ahead is growing.

For Liva, it was like running against a strong wind.

It was the water flow, the high-speed water flow was hindering the progress of the three people.

If Liva had not imitated the "self" she saw on the surveillance camera and used various cards to increase her speed, she might have been rushed back because she could not stand.

"Hey, wait...what is this?"

The Siren suddenly stopped.

Liva braked so quickly that she almost crashed into Siren with Noa, and had to take several steps back before she could stabilize herself.

"What are you—eh?"

Liva was about to look up and complain.

As her eyes swept over the area, she too was stunned.

The corridor in front of me was covered with dense, blue fluorescent things that looked like plant roots.

It was quiet, eerie, and some of them were even wriggling like tentacles.

"...Your underwater fortress has this kind of decoration?"

"……Obviously not."

Liva slowly tried to step into this area.

Her intuition told her that these things in front of her were closely related to the sea water that inexplicably appeared in the fortress.

However, the moment she stepped out, she felt the "impact" from the floor.

"—!"

Liva couldn't stand and flew backwards.

He tried hard to adjust his movements and landed not far away.

But this time, she immediately understood the nature of this "shock".

"This is the current that even I can feel!"

"It's these root-like things—they're constantly spurting water, like a pump!"

"Siren, you—"

Liva turned around and saw Siren floating in the water, staring blankly at the area.

"--What’s wrong with you?"

"So familiar..."

Siren reached out and touched those "tentacles".

"Why do I feel familiar with this environment?"

"familiar……?"

"Yes, it feels like home."

Siren lowered her head, almost ignoring the impact of the water, and landed on the ground.

"The deeper we get, the more we feel it—the water ejected from these 'tentacles' is different."

"I know you want to say it's all seawater... but for some reason, this water feels different."

"And, and..."

She seemed unable to hold on, and half-knelt forward, supporting herself on the ground with her arms, under the puzzled gaze of Liva and Noah.

“What’s going on…what…is going on…?”

It was completely different from her usual tone.

Filled with extreme sadness - even Siren herself could not fully understand why there was such sadness in the deepest part of her heart.

Something blue and transparent flashed from the corner of her eye and fell to the ground - Liva was sure she saw it.

And at this moment, the "tentacles" suddenly squirmed wildly, vying to wrap around the "something" that landed on the ground.

Why did this unforgettable sadness suddenly appear...?

"and many more--!"

more.

It first slid down, then solidified into a round, azure solid.

They fell from the corners of the Siren's eyes, dropped to the ground, and were then wrapped up.

(This place... is not right!)

Realizing that the Siren's abnormal behavior must be related to the surroundings, Liva stepped forward and struggled to resist the impact of the water.

"Hold me!"

“Ah…eh…”

He grabbed the bewildered Siren and rushed back to normal ground.

"Hiss...ah..."

"Wait a minute, take a break first!"

Siren, who had just been struck by great sadness and had not yet recovered, sat up again with the help of Liva.

She suddenly wanted to sing something, to sing out all the inexplicable sadness in her heart.

She tried hard to suppress this inexplicable desire.

"..."

There seems to be something under me.

Siren reached out and touched it randomly.

“…What is this?”

He rubbed his eyes, which were a little red from crying for no reason, and stirred up a little water flow in the water.

Siren looked down at the ground below her and seemed to have touched something.

A double-edged sword and a hammer were neatly placed in front of her along with Siren's one-handed sword.

Naia: Chapter 104: Graveyard Graveyard's Resentment

"Is this a weapon from the Pearl Tear Sorrow Tribe?"

Liva recognized the source of the thing in front of her at a glance.

Siren, who had just recovered, reached out and picked up the hammer and double blades on the ground.

"..."

(This feeling comes again...)

It was as if something bitter was stuck in the Siren's throat.

Moreover, some blurry images flashed before her eyes.

"What on earth is this..."

Siren saw her body pierced by the whip blade and the double blades fell from her hands.

He saw himself being grabbed by the neck, and his strength and vision were drained away.

……

Finally, she saw the man with long blue hair walking away with wild laughter.

I was sinking—but I couldn't move at all.

The body began to decompose from the fingertips and turned into foam on the seabed.

……

“Hoo-hoo!”

"Wake up! What happened to you?"

Liva shook the Siren, whose hands were around her neck, forcing her to turn her attention back to reality.

"Wha...what?"

"You were just standing there for a while! You were holding your neck like you were suffocating. I wanted to put a protective shield on you to keep it waterproof, but I don't know if you can survive out of the water now."

Liva lit up the "Starry Night Dragon" in her hand.

Siren came to her senses, waved her hand and stood up.

"I don't think I need to do that now... I seemed to be hallucinating just now. It was really scary."

"But! I'm a noble amphibian now! I can definitely survive out of water!"

Seeing her friend start to say strange things again, Liwa felt relieved.

"It seems like you're fine... Well, now the more important thing is, how do we get there?"

"If we bomb our way through, who knows what bad things might happen."

Pointing to the corridor ahead that seemed to be still moving, Liva shook her head in distress - the water pressure ahead did not seem to allow her, Mu Ma and Noa to pass through here directly.

"'How should I put it...Actually, I have a strange feeling."

"Maybe it can. Anyway, I'll try it first."

Siren held the double blades and placed them in Liva's hands, then turned around and brought the hammer to Noa.

"What...huh?"

Liva felt that the moment her hands grasped the handle, the water stopped.

Turning to look at Noah, he saw the same confusion in his eyes.

All the signs around indicated that the water flow had never stopped - but from Liva's perspective, the impact had disappeared.

"……what?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know how it works!!"

"Well, I don't care anyway—let's get going."

Liva looked away and nodded at Noa.

Then, try stepping one foot forward.
