Mystery: Lucky

Even Alice, who had little knowledge of the ocean, could feel the brewing storm in the air.

But... Alice felt something else in her area of ​​expertise.

Without saying hello to the sailor, she ran to the edge of the deck, tiptoed out, squinted her eyes and observed the water surface.

"What are you doing!" The sailor hurriedly grabbed Alice, fearing that she would be taken under.

"Call someone who is good at fighting underwater," Alice said, looking at the water surface, "or call your captain."

"But..." The sailor opened his mouth, not giving up the idea of ​​pulling Alice away.

"When the brewing disaster is completely formed, it will be too late." Alice stared at the water surface without blinking.

It was a very strange feeling. She could clearly perceive that there was something somewhere underwater, adding a feeling that made her very uncomfortable to this area.

That feeling didn't actually cause her any harm, but it made her feel uncomfortable. If I had to give an example, it would be... 99% humidity in the air?

You can't see the water in the air, but every breath makes you feel suffocated by water.

Alice closed her eyes and tried to dispel the feeling.

... She couldn't do it, she still couldn't do it.

It was like this every time - she could see it, she could feel it, but she just couldn't make any impact.

Alice frowned irritably, turned her head to look at Alger who was called over, and said directly without waiting for him to ask: "What I'm looking for is under the water."

"Are you sure?" Alger walked over and looked at the water surface where nothing could be seen. "We should still have some distance to get there."

"...I didn't see them on the deck, which was beyond my expectation," Alice responded with an anxious tone, "You know, that Charlie King almost became a Beyonder and fell into my mouth."

Alger was silent for a while, and suddenly asked a question: "Is the angel behind him worried that he would become the material for your potion?"

"...It's a guess worth considering," Alice confirmed Alger's guess, "So, why don't you jump down?"

"...Even 'sailors' don't really want to fight underwater," Alger explained, "Do you have a way to lure them up?"

"If I were Sequence 6 now, maybe there would be." Alice said faintly.

"Then do you have a way to determine the specific location?" Alger continued to ask.

"Yes, but I can't tell you," Alice spread her hands, "Unless you have a way for me to move underwater... Then I can take you there."

Before Alger could speak, Alice added, "But I'm not good at underwater... Forget it, I'm not very good at fighting on land either."

Alger handed a cufflink to Alice without saying a word.

"What is this?" Alice took it, looked at the sunless sky, and put her hand down in disappointment.

"An extraordinary item that allows you to move in the water," Alger explained.

"... Shouldn't you confirm whether I have the ability to protect myself in the water? Just take me into the water like this?" Alice questioned Alger's mysterious trust.

"... Do you have it?" Alger asked in a cooperative manner for some reason.

"No," Alice put on the cufflink, supported the guardrail with one hand, and stood on tiptoe to measure her height, "But I shouldn't die."

"You want to jump directly?" Alger was a little surprised when he saw Alice's intention.

"Is it more comfortable this way?" Alice blinked, "I think we should shout 'you jump, I jump' at this time..."

"What is that... Hey!" Before Alger finished speaking, Alice unexpectedly flipped over the guardrail, fell into the water, and disappeared smoothly into the water.

As Alger said, wearing the cufflinks did give Alice the ability to move in the water - it didn't mean that she really learned to swim, but that she had achieved the basics of swimming and she wouldn't sink.

However, the most important thing was of course that she could breathe in the water.

Closing her eyes, the source of the discomfort became clearer. Before Alger, who had jumped down to find her, could say anything, Alice grabbed Alger and pointed to the bottom of the boat.

Alger frowned, reached out to grab Alice, and took her closer to the bottom of the boat.

When they dived deep enough and Alger was about to swim over with Alice, Alice suddenly had an intuition, and she instinctively pulled Alger hard.

After Alger turned his head, Alice shook her head twice with great amplitude, then pulled him to point at the water surface.

——While doing this, Alice kept wondering if Alger would think she was sick.

But Alger seemed to have a blind trust in her——Alice suspected that Alger took her nonsense seriously, such as the real God walking on the earth...

In short, Alger took her back to the surface without any doubt.

Then, the moment they came out of the water, they were swept up by the strong wind.

——With them, there were two snakes half a person's height with horns on their heads.

It was her potion material!

But Alice, who was swept up by the wind, was not in a happy mood.

When Alice was underwater, she had a strange premonition - this storm was out of the control of these two snakes.

Why? Because of her approach?

No one knew the answer.

Alice and Alger, along with the two Manova snakes, were thrown heavily onto the deck by the wind.

This did not mean that they were safe.

This fierce wind did not seem to have any intention of stopping, and seemed to want to overturn the entire ship.

...Damn it!

Alice fell next to one of the snakes with the help of the wind. She quickly grabbed the snake's horns and tried to break them off.

The snake with life would certainly not let Alice do this. Its huge mouth bit Alice's shoulder mercilessly.

Fortunately, this is a non-venomous snake... Alice, who was pale, thought in the gap of severe pain.

After Alice gritted her teeth and broke off a horn, she successfully won the wrestling match.

The bite force of the Manova snake was much weaker, and Alice took the opportunity to break off the other horn.

She collapsed on the ground powerlessly, and her spirituality quietly penetrated the horns, touching the feeling in the air that had always made her uncomfortable.

As expected... Even though her spirituality was rapidly depleting and the severe pain in her shoulder was almost numb, Alice couldn't help but feel happy - it seemed that she could have a real impact on fate.
