Agares was worried that I would run away.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

But in reality, I was well aware that I wouldn’t actually do that, because leaving him would leave me with nowhere to go. Besides, I’ve already had a relationship with him, and the assimilation process must have already begun within me. Returning to the human world wouldn’t necessarily improve my situation. And also, I didn’t really have the heart to leave him, despite my extreme anger towards his actions. Honestly, I never imagined that fifty years later, when we reunited, our situation would become like this. It makes me somewhat nostalgic for the days when we used to hide and evade the Nazis together.

I leaned against the damp rock wall and sat down, feeling utterly miserable. Everything that had just happened kept replaying in my mind, refusing to fade away. I took a few deep breaths, trying my best to calm down. Why did Agares hate Levjet so intensely? It was as if there was some deep-seated hatred, something more than just jealousy over him being my father and a close relative. I pondered carefully, trying to connect all the dots and make sense of the situation, but it felt like there were gaps in my memory, preventing me from arriving at a coherent conclusion. nu1QCj

Playing in my mind were the fond memories Levjet had left from my childhood, contrasting starkly with Agares’ descriptions of him—— “conspiracy”, “treachery”, “malicious intent”. It felt as though Agares was deliberately slandering Levjet in front of me.

No, Desharow! Don’t think like that. Trust Agares!

In my confused mind, a voice of opposition suddenly sprang up, pulling me abruptly out of the sinking quagmire of my thoughts and was taken aback by my own speculations. I immediately sensed that there was indeed something off with my memories, as if certain key nodes had been edited off and artificially stitched back together. But as I attempted to catch those peculiarities that were causing my memories to feel disjointed, a strong sense of dizziness overwhelmed me. At that moment, something began to pulse at the back of my neck, as if some kind of parasite had burrowed under my skin without my knowledge and was now waking up.

Parasite. I felt my blood run cold and quickly moved away from the rock wall behind me, reaching back to touch my neck.

The wall was empty, there was nothing there except water stains. But under the skin of my neck, there was definitely something eerie. I felt a small bump, and as I pressed it with my hand, it disappeared as if it were some kind of leech. My scalp went numb, and the devilfish around my waist suddenly became restless, slipping past my ass and slid directly onto my back. I immediately felt a bite on the back of my neck.

“Hey! You nasty little thing, how dare you bite me!” I grabbed the devilfish by its little tail, yanked it off and pretended to scold it. It curled up trembling, flipped over, and pretended to be dead. Its tiny mouth that had just attacked me opened slightly, as if it were crying pitifully. I held it up, staring into its mischievous eyes, “I’ll spare your life this time, but if you misbehave again, I’ll turn you into fried fish jerky! Got it?”

It wiggled its body and its tail wrapped around my wrist as if trying to pitifully beg for forgiveness. I magnanimously allowed it to return to my waist, where it obediently transformed back into the shape of my underwear. Its tail snaked between my legs, hanging like a belt on my hip bones, even more proficient than before. However, as I turned around to check if it was concealing my butt properly, I unexpectedly collided with several pairs of eyes peering through the crack. A few green-tails were lying there, peeping at me shifty-eyed, resembling a group of idiots peeping at a women’s bathhouse.

With that in mind, I walked straight towards them.

As I walked towards the entrance of the crevice, the green-tails timidly dispersed, retracting their bodies into the water. Their heads remained above the surface, gazing up at me, almost as if they wished to lick my toes. Despite the merfolk being born with pretty faces, the situation definitely made people a bit creepy.

I looked at these hungry little young merfolk and couldn’t help but find it amusing, although I couldn’t laugh. Because in the future, they would also become a group of out-and-out “violators”, forcibly imposing their wild desires on humans and transforming them into their own kind, just like the mature blue-tails. I thought about Davis, and my heart contracted as if it were being dehydrated, causing aches to radiate through me.

At the same time, I realised that now was a perfect opportunity. With Agares not around, I can find a way to rescue Davis. u7ZGcq

“Hey, do you know where the human captives and the bluetails are being held?”

I knelt down and asked the group of green tails.

One of them immediately approached my leg eagerly, enthusiastically swaying his gorgeous green tail, but he seemed not to understand what I was saying. He just stared at me with wide eyes, looking puzzled. The guy before me appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old in human terms, likely not having spent much time out of the brood. Clearly, he hadn’t had the chance to learn the human language, and it seemed the other green-tails were in a similar situation.

I scratched my head in frustration: What can I do? I don’t know the language of merfolk, except for “agaras”… gzkD8B

Right, there’s also Levjet’s merfolk name. If Levjet was still capable of moving, maybe I can ask for his help. He will definitely help me. My gut feeling was telling me that.

“za-sa-ti… I need to find him.” I made an effort to imitate the way merfolk produce sounds, but since I couldn’t create the sound waves from my throat simultaneously, the green-tails in front of me still looked puzzled.

“Damn it…” I sat back inside the crevice a little discouraged, regretting not having learned some of their language from Agares.

“Desharow…” hbjm82

At that moment, I heard a familiar sound coming from not far away. I looked up and was surprised to see Asura swimming towards me from a crevice that led to an unknown location. He held a large clamshell in his webbed claws, and as he approached me, I noticed that it contained about a dozen rare deep-sea fishes, emitting steam as if they were cooked with electricity.

I paused for a moment, thinking that Asura was bringing me food on the king’s orders?

“Where’s Agares?” I picked up a fish and put it in my mouth.

“The king is leading the Blues into a new sea area, exploring a suitable route. He was concerned that you might go hungry, so he ordered me…” xz oJC

“Asura, do you support your king’s war plans?” I interrupted his words and looked into his sharp and beautiful black eyes as I asked.

Asura nodded. “I unconditionally obey the king’s orders, I am different from za-sa-ti.”

My nerves tingled, my head started to hurt. “What did he do to betray the merfolk clan? Why do you all describe him this way?”

“Because he and Shinichi hurt us, and also hurt Yukimura…” A gleam of hatred flickered in Asura’s dark eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something, raised his head and stared at me in disbelief, as if he had just realised something unimaginable. UEpDGx

At that moment, his raised webbed claw suddenly moved towards me, directly reaching the back of my neck, and the sharp nails cut through my skin. I was startled and instinctively grabbed his wrist. In an instant, I felt that sensation in the back of my neck surge again, as if a tiny worm raced along my arm and attacked Asura like lightning. Simultaneously, several green-tailed creatures shouted and pounced at him, pushing him down into the water.

“Asura!?” I stood up in astonishment, not knowing what had just happened.

In an instant, Asura and the green tails started fighting, creating chaos in the water. Several tails stirred up splashes, like a fish struggling in a boiling pot of water. I nervously looked at the spot where Asura was pushed underwater, only to see a dazzling blue light spreading from beneath the water surface, as if a small signal flare had exploded. Within moments, several limp green tails floated to the surface, and a pungent smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

With a splashing sound, Asura came out unscathed from beneath the water’s surface. o5zJZ7

He leaped up and grabbed onto the rock by my feet with his dual fins. His eyes were deep and dark, like an ancient well, as if he felt no remorse for killing his fellow clansmen. There was no expression on his face as he stared at me.

I stepped back in confusion, but I saw him slightly part his lips. “Do you want to rescue your clan, Desharow? I can help you.”

“I want to, but… What’s going on? Aren’t you loyal to Agares?”

I frowned in bewilderment, recalling the strange sensation I had just experienced. I only felt that the current Asura was extremely strange. A profound sense of unease surrounded me, but at the same time, a more intense wave of dizziness shot up my spine to my brain. At this moment, Asura grasped my wrist tightly, his face coming very close to mine, his eyes intently fixated on me. A peculiar feeling welled up within me, as if his dark eyes were hollow, concealing another pair of eyes behind them. His pupils split into two, appearing as if there were dual pupils within each eye, with a faint silver hue amidst the darkness. XnNw3M

“I am standing with humans, with you, my little Desharow.” He whispered in my ear.

I shook my head, feeling my head grow heavier, my body losing control as I leaned forward. Asura took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around me and plunged with me into the water. He tightly covered my mouth and nose, and we submerged into the dark water. We swiftly followed the abyss-like crack in a particular direction. I could see other merfolk darting back and forth around us, but Asura guided me with speed and precision, skillfully avoiding them. Soon, he led me into an exceptionally narrow crevice, which opened up into a deep underwater cave. The place was filled with aquatic plants, resembling a mysterious underwater forest.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

As my head emerged above the water’s surface, I couldn’t help but be stunned by the scene before me.

Dozens of blue-tailed fish were scattered across the water’s surface, their eyes half-open and their pupils grey. Their chests were charred black from electric burns, clearly dead for a while. I gasped and followed Asura into the dense forest, where speckled shadows revealed a faint figure ahead. 0Lc27q

“Desharow… My dear Desharow, you’re here?”

The familiar call floated gently from the darkness along the cool wind. At that moment, Asura released my hand, but I swam involuntarily towards the source of the sound as if I had been possessed by a demon. Parting a few clusters of densely-packed hair-like aquatic plants, I finally glimpsed a silvery gleam not far away in the water. As I swam closer, I saw Levjet leaning against a rock, and I held my breath upon seeing his appearance—

He was barely clinging to life, his head tilted as if he could pass away at any moment. His elegantly slender silver fish tail bore a shocking big gash that had not yet healed. On either side, it had flipped outward, exposing the pale, dense muscles and a chain-like fishbones. Astonishingly, his webbed hands had been impaled by two sharpened branches, with blue blood coagulated into scabs, thickly accumulated between his fingers.

Translator’s note:- Hi guys, I have good news!!! I finally got the extras of DM from a kind reader on discord who sent me the link to the site where I could get them so a huge shot out to them. So there will be 5 extras so total 120 chs. Yay~~ v102nq

And guys, I wanted to please request everyone to please state your reason when DM me; like if you are asking me a question or something that’s fine. But please don’t just send a friend request first or just a ‘Hi’ without any context as they just scare me(Dunno why), so I usually never reply to them as I fear being scammed and all and I just dunno so I never respond to them usually so please don’t just leave a ‘Hi’ and leave me guessing. I hope you guys understand.

And ahem ahem also I think we have been writing Agares name wrong since ch 1, I think. It should have been Agaras instead of Agares but well We can only go with the latter one now; since it’s almost impossible to change every single one. Anyhow I just wanted to inform you guys as the author in like later chs like in extras finally used their name in english so neither me nor the previous translator knew ahh
