Gulp! Down the throat!
Time Limit

A window appeared with garbled text throughout.
It seemed Upiros had barely managed to establish a connection.
Warning: Subspace is a concentration of magical power. Spirit abilities cannot be used within the Subspace!
So the collision with magical power had severed my connection with the Spirit Kings.
‘But if it’s powerful enough for that, it must be a Subspace created by a truly formidable Wizard.’
Either way, with only five minutes remaining, there was no time for hesitation.
“Look, in five minutes we’ll be… pulp.”
“What? Wait, Superti!”
There was no need for words like ‘I’ll be back.’
I simply released my grip and plunged downward.
‘Ugh.’
The stench was revolting.
Still, Fasayen bloodline doesn’t mean I can only breathe underwater in seawater.
Sure enough, even in this gastric fluid-like liquid, I could maintain my vision.
‘My whole body stings and feels disgusting, but it’s bearable.’
True to Maximilian’s prediction, there was a core at the bottom.
Upon spotting the elevated terrain that resembled an underwater volcano, I drew a dagger from my pocket and gripped it firmly.
I’m grateful to always carry this for self-defense.
‘Shatter!’
Clang! Clang!
All children of Fasayen learn underwater combat.
Because of this, I knew how to wield a blade underwater to apply force, allowing me to shatter the core with ease.
Though there was one rather small problem…
“Gasp!”
“Superti! Are you alright?”
“Ugh, breathing inside there was difficult enough, but there are far too many cores!”
“What?!”
I surfaced again and grasped Maximilian’s hand, pulling us both free.
“I’ll need to go down a few more times. About ten in total, I’d say.”
“This is maddening.”
“I’ll be back. When I surface, grab me and pull me out.”
Maximilian, his face drained of color, nodded, and I submerged once more.
Once. Twice. Three times!
The watch ticking away before my eyes was infuriating, but rushing wouldn’t solve anything.
[02:58]
Four!
[02:30]
Five…!
My wrists burned. Yet I refused to yield.
[01:49]
Now the seventh.
[01:20]
Eight!
[00:58]
Nine!
‘It stings. I think I’m getting burned too.’
Gastric acid—acidic in nature.
As time wore on, the pain intensified, and I swung my arms faster in response.
[00:01]
Now for the last one…!
Just before time expired, the final core shattered with a crisp crack.
But what followed was not what I had anticipated.
‘Gasp…!’
The gastric acid churned violently, and the ground trembled.
Swimming upward at maximum speed toward the water surface, Maximilian thrashed about trying to grab me, his voice desperate.
“The space is collapsing!!”
Simultaneously, a piercing screech assaulted my ears.
Aaaahhh!
Aaaahhhhh!!
Even the Subspace itself was shrieking—as if alive and possessed of will.
‘Something’s gone wrong.’
Destroying the core should have cleared the dungeon and allowed us to escape…!
[Quest& Comple@!]
[A-Rank #Dungeon 【Blind &Being’s Subsp@ce】 core has been destro$ed.
Rewards are being distributed.]
To make matters worse, Upiros sent a message that was entirely unhelpful.
[🙂: 10 ▶ 11]
[Grape Board Progress: 26/30]
No, this won’t help us now!
“Aaaahhh!”
The space compressed faster and faster as Maximilian screamed, hoisting me onto his shoulders.
In response, I desperately tried to pierce the wall with my dagger, but my wrists had already gone limp and nothing was working.
“Ugh!”
“Maxxi!”
Maximilian was already half-swallowed by the wall—a truly desperate situation.
Just as I was about to summon the Jellyfish to somehow expand our space—
“…!”
…A golden radiance enveloped me.
“Hello, Shu.”
A voice so sweet it made me forget the peril we were in.
A soft, ticklish tone that made my skin prickle settled gently around me, and I found myself safely cradled in someone’s arms.
“The collapse of a subspace means the annihilation of everything within it. I should have explained that to you. I’m sorry.”
A tender voice.
Words that took the blame upon himself.
And arms as solid as stone.
I knew who this man was.
Or rather, I thought I did.
“Rasifer?”
“Rasifer? How disappointing. You should call me Pel.”
Whoosh!
Just moments ago I’d been suffocating, but a single gesture from the man brightened everything around us.
In my newly opened vision appeared a burning crimson sunset.
And… platinum hair tickling my forehead.
“Pel!”
“Yes, Shu. I’m here.”
“How did you know to come… wait, I must reek right now!”
The moment the wind blew, countless spirits poured their concern upon me.
Among them was Urakan, a superior spirit of the wind.
Suspended in the void and wrapped in the wind, I couldn’t help but notice the stench emanating from my body.
Yet the man with eyes that sparkled like jewels merely laughed.
“Reek? What are you talking about? There’s no smell at all.”
“You’re lying…!”
“Look, there isn’t, see?”
Rasifer merely fluttered his long eyelashes, and the gastric juices covering my entire body oxidized into light.
Then, with whatever magic he cast, a floral fragrance actually began to emanate from me.
“Since you’d worry, I also saved the Crown Prince. I did well, didn’t I?”
“I’m truly grateful, Pel. I never expected to meet you again like this….”
To Rasifer’s and my right, a red-haired man floated upside down in the air.
The treatment isn’t particularly generous, but well, he’s unconscious anyway.
Given Rasifer’s temperament, I’m just grateful he was saved at all.
“Shall we head to the Imperial Palace then?”
Ah, how beautiful.
I don’t intend to dwell on it now, but still.
As Rasifer smiled with his eyes and snapped his fingers, the space shifted again within seconds.
“Superti! You rascal!!”
And so I was able to reunite with my father, tears glistening in his eyes.
It was truly a blessing.
* * *
“Sneaking off like that without a word! I thought you’d been kidnapped!”
That evening, I received a thorough scolding not only from the Spirit Kings but from my father as well.
After hearing the news that Maximilian had awakened and confirming that everyone who had been with me was safe,
I finished bathing and, finally regaining some clarity of mind, found myself facing Rasifer in the Reception Room.
“The Baby Jellyfish is quite clever. It seems he remembered coming to me before to deliver a letter.”
A man of breathtaking beauty toyed with the jellyfish balanced on his fingertip.
I had always thought him beautiful even as a child, but now facing him fully grown… I found myself rendered speechless simply by looking at him.
‘Rasifer? Really?’
Fate Spirit King, why did you do this?
I would have been content simply as Rasifer and Viju’s Companion!
‘Good heavens.’
Thump, thump.
My heart beats faster than usual.
In truth, anyone would feel the same way.
Faced with a beauty beyond all comparison.
“Wow.”
“Hm?”
“Oh, never mind.”
An exclamation escaped me unbidden, and when Rasifer responded immediately, I felt a flush of embarrassment and busied myself taking a sip of tea.
‘How can a person possibly look like that?’
It’s far too unrealistic.
“What a remarkable jellyfish. Though he is my jellyfish, after all.”
“Indeed. I told him to come running to me if you were ever in danger, and it seems he remembered that too. I’m truly grateful the jellyfish returned safely.”
“Mm.”
Why does conversation feel so awkward?
I chattered away so easily in letters.
I found myself fidgeting with my teacup, my gaze fixed on his slender fingers.
If I look at his face, my heart races so fast I can’t speak!
