【031】
It was at that very moment when Superti was gleefully traversing the underwater realm.
Far to the east of Fasayen, in the Eastern Empire.
A land of abundance and fortune where the sun rises.
There, a platinum-haired boy opened his eyes slowly.
Long eyelashes fluttered several times before revealing irises of such enchanting violet that they seemed to glow with an inner light.
Within those sparkling eyes lay countless constellations—so brilliant that calling them “gem-like” would be an understatement.
To read the truths of the vast cosmos was both the duty and blessing bestowed upon those of the Laximun Bloodline.
Having read all of today’s stars, the platinum-haired boy’s rosy lips parted with a youthful whisper.
“You’ve finally returned.”
The girl he had long sought had come back to him.
To this place where he drew breath.
“Grow quickly for me.”
Those of the Laximun Bloodline possessed an ability no other in this world could claim.
The ability to sense their companion.
Whether they lived or died. Whether, if dead, they had been reborn.
Whether they were near or far away.
Even when they would finally meet.
So he waited, and waited still.
The waiting was tedious, yet bearable.
Because he knew when they would meet.
‘There is so much I wish to show you.’
Around the boy, who wore a gentle smile, a flock of golden paper cranes suddenly took flight.
A sight of such artistic beauty, so impossibly ethereal, complemented by the platinum-haired boy’s exquisite visage.
And then, a sigh-like whisper escaped him.
“Still, I wish I could see you now.”
Causality forbade it, and breaking the rules would only increase his burden.
But what did it matter?
The boy’s nature had always been this way.
A knowing smile played at his eyes as he made his decision.
“I’ll go meet you.”
His voice was resolute, brooking no argument.
* * *
“Wheee! This is so much fun!!”
After my swim with the dolphin ended, I surfaced in a cave, poking my head above the water.
“Let’s do it again!”
Since I couldn’t breathe underwater, the Household Master Grandfather created air bubbles for me—and that was incredibly fun too.
Lina needs to experience this amazing thing!
“Wow, is this really your first time riding a dolphin? You picked it up so fast.”
“Hehe.”
Pleased by Mikard’s praise, I climbed onto the rock and wrung out the water from my skirt.
As the water dripped away, I caught sight of Grandfather ascending from beyond.
He hadn’t ridden a dolphin—he’d walked through the water itself.
No, truly, he’d strolled through it with his hands clasped behind his back, taking great strides. I’m not exaggerating.
“Come here, Tosil.”
“Chirp!”
Mikard shook his head vigorously to shed the water and extended his hand to me.
Meanwhile, Grandfather called out to someone deeper within the cave.
“Asha, I’ve arrived.”
But I couldn’t see anyone!
“I’m coming in.”
“…!”
Grandfather vanished!
He’d been right before my eyes just moments ago, but the instant I blinked, he’d simply disappeared.
Startled, I turned to Mikard, who gazed down at me with an amused smile.
“Surprised?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“This is the Resonant’s Rest Place. Think of it like a villa. It looks like a cave, but it’s actually surrounded by incredibly complex barriers—layers upon layers of illusion magic and spatial disorientation magic. Oh, and once you’re inside, you dry off completely.”
But then how did the dolphins find this place?
My thoughts must have shown plainly on my face, for Mikard immediately answered my unspoken question.
“Those dolphins can read the signals sent by the Ancestor Whale or Resonants. Without them, I couldn’t have found my way here alone either.”
“Wow!”
My heart was racing.
It felt like stepping into a secret base—my chest was pounding with excitement.
‘If I become a Resonant too, could I use this as my villa? That would be amazing!’
I could already picture myself as a Resonant.
Though I still didn’t truly understand what it meant, in my imagination I was quite magnificent.
Everyone would gasp in amazement and applaud, and I’d stand there proudly, chin held high, saying “ahem!”
“Now, let’s go inside.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Into the pitch-black cave I went, step by step.
Holding Mikard’s hand tightly as we walked, I suddenly glanced back.
“Huh?”
It was gone!
The cave had disappeared!
In its place was a wall.
The warm, buttery-colored wallpaper looked inviting.
“Welcome. It’s been a while, Mikal.”
And from somewhere came a rough, resonant voice.
“Grandmother!”
“That’s right, my little pup. Still full of vigor, I see.”
“Of course! Grandmother, how are you? Your knees were bothering you last time. I’ve been doing wonderfully.”
Mikard bounced excitedly without releasing my hand.
The way he swung his other arm so enthusiastically made him look like a large, energetic dog.
And there, in the place where my brother was so delighted to be, stood Grandfather and Grandmother.
A grandmother I was meeting for the first time.
“So you’re the new little one who’s arrived. Come closer, dear.”
Maliasa Fasayen.
The grandmother with her white hair neatly braided and draped to one side possessed eyes of a vivid blue-violet hue.
Just like Aunt Violet’s eyes.
Those eyes gleamed with such strength that I took an instant liking to her.
“Hmm, yes. I see.”
“What do you think, Asha?”
“What do I think? Are you planning to change your entire attitude the moment you hear a ‘no’?”
The grandmother, who had been examining me from every angle while I sat upon her lap, suddenly grew indignant.
Grandfather, standing beside her with his hands clasped respectfully, broke into a warm chuckle as his expression softened.
“Come now, I’ve changed my ways, haven’t I?”
“Changed? What change? Do you think people transform so easily? The older we get, the more stubborn we become!”
Were they quarreling?
I turned my gaze between Grandmother and Grandfather with fascination.
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says you shouldn’t learn from that.]
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ says that those two are still in love, regardless.]
So they weren’t bickering because they disliked each other.
Adults are truly strange.
If something is beautiful, say it’s beautiful. If it’s good, say it’s good. If it’s sad, say it’s sad. Why do they have to express such simple things in such confusing ways?
Children don’t do that.
“As the Ancestor Whale has said, this child is indeed the most promising candidate to succeed me.”
“I see.”
“He suddenly woke me from my slumber, insisting that I bring a child, making quite the fuss about it. He even complained that the newly born Water Spirit King has been troubling him.”
Wait, the Water Spirit King?
I was startled and quickly glanced toward where the shimmering text had been.
But the glimmering letters had vanished as if they’d never existed. All the Spirit Kings were maintaining complete silence.
“In any case, little one, what is your name?”
“Superti!”
“Yes. I can hear what the Ancestor Whale is saying. He already knows your question.”
Huh?
But I can’t see the Ancestor Whale?
“When you become a Resonant, can you hear the Ancestor Whale even from far away?”
I couldn’t help but ask, my curiosity overwhelming me.
At that very moment, Grandmother burst into hearty laughter.
“Ah, you didn’t know? Let me explain.”
“…?”
“This place is actually inside the Ancestor Whale’s belly.”
Whaaaaaaat?!
There were far too many shocking revelations today!
My heart thundered wildly in my chest, and my entire body trembled with the force of it.
But what shocked me even more was that Mikard had his mouth hanging open in equal astonishment.
“What?! Grandmother, is that true?!”
“It is.”
“I had no idea until now!”
Mikard ran his hands frantically through his teal-colored hair.
I stood with my eyes wide as saucers, my gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
“So there’s a room inside the Ancestor Whale’s belly?”
“Indeed. This is the safest space for a Resonant. Unless one were to drain this vast and fathomless sea entirely, there would be no way to find or catch the Ancestor Whale.”
“Wow….”
Grandmother, seeing the wonder in my eyes, gently stroked my head with her weathered hand.
“Once you become a Resonant, you’ll be able to reshape this space however you wish.”
“Even into a candy house?!”
“What? Yes, I suppose that would be possible too.”
Grandmother chuckled warmly, then looked at Grandfather. Grandfather gazed back at her with tenderness.
Watching the light in both their eyes, I thought I finally understood what “love” meant—the thing the Emotion Spirit King had spoken of.
There was something there, a current between them that I could never quite enter.
“In any case, the reason you’ve come this far today is because of that old fool’s greed, so I’ll answer your question.”
Grandmother then met my gaze directly.
Her expression was so serious that I became serious as well.
“You want to know the name of the newly born Water Spirit King, don’t you?”
