Chapter 171
Over the past few days, Rorschach’s deeds continued to ferment across the sea.
Many people had already accepted his title as the ’Fifth Emperor.’
Everyone understood that a massive wave was about to surge across this sea.
The ’Fifth’ Emperor openly challenging the old Four Emperors — was this the transition between old and new? Or would the newcomer be slapped back onto the beach by a wave?
Meanwhile, as the protagonist, Rorschach had already brought his people into the sea.
Just as Nami said, the coating only took one day. Afterward, Rorschach flew the Ryūyū with the ship to the bottom of the Red Line.
Following the pointer’s direction, they dove into the deep sea.
The sea was dreamy and fantastical, but deeper down it was boundless darkness where even sunlight could not reach.
Yet in this deep sea, there was a place of light.
This was Fish-Man Island, the underwater paradise known as the island of the deep sea.
It was located at the bottom of a tree called the Sun Tree Eve. The Sun Tree Eve absorbed sunlight from its top and conducted it to its roots, causing the roots in the deep sea to emit light as strong as sunlight.
This was what allowed Fish-Man Island, deep underwater, to have day and night like the surface.
"Is this the underwater world? It’s so beautiful!"
Nami’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and longing as she stared at the small dot far below.
The three little ones — Kaya, Vivi, and Perona — almost stuck their heads out of the bubble, pressing close to it with bright eyes.
Because of the new voyage, Kaya had temporarily left Indigo’s teachings to continue sailing with Rorschach. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Don’t press your heads too close. Although the bubble is still very sturdy, if you stick your head out, you’ll be soaked in seawater."
Rorschach pulled the three little ones back one by one.
Although Perona was a bit older, mentally she was more like Kaya and Vivi.
"Sorry."
Perona knocked on her head and stuck out her tongue, selling a very cute act of moe.
After being on the ship for so long, Nami and Karina had also taught her many proper behaviors for a young lady.
Kaya and Vivi also lowered their heads with flushed faces, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed about their earlier loss of composure.
But it wasn’t their fault. After all, Fish-Man Island was truly very beautiful.
Fish-Man Island was composed of one large and one small bubble.
Above was a small bubble — that was the location of Ryugu Palace, the residence of the royal family.
Below was the real Fish-Man Island, where most fishman residents lived.
From Rorschach and the others’ position looking down, although they couldn’t see it very clearly, they could still make out the general outline.
Around the bubble, countless schools of fish swam about. From time to time, one or two massive Sea Kings would pass through.
This added a touch of mystery to the beautiful island.
"As expected of the island known as the ’Underwater Paradise.’ This scenery is truly unprecedented. It’s great to be able to come here once."
Karina’s eyes also shone brightly as she spoke in a light and cheerful tone.
"Karina, I remember we brought bubble coral, right?" Rorschach suddenly asked.
"Mmm, we did. What do you want to use it for?" Karina turned her head and responded with confusion.
"We’re still some distance from the deep sea. Don’t you want to go out and take a look?"
Rorschach said with a smile.
"Oh right! How did I not think of that!"
Karina suddenly realized and immediately took out a piece of bubble coral.
Then she fired several bubbles into the sea, tossed the bubble coral to Rorschach, and slipped out of the ship’s bubble into one of them.
The other girls also had bright eyes as they slipped into the nearby bubbles together.
They hadn’t reached the deep ocean currents yet, so the pressure wasn’t too great. With their physical strength, they could fully withstand it.
Rorschach wasn’t worried they would break the bubbles either, because he wasn’t afraid of seawater and could even breathe underwater, so he could go out to rescue them at any time.
"Aren’t you going out to play together?"
Rorschach walked over to Reiju and Robin and asked. Beside them were also Monet and Kalifa.
These were all more mature big-sister type beauties, clearly different from the others, and more reserved.
"No need. It’s enough to come to the seabed and admire the beautiful scenery here. We can talk about it when we reach Fish-Man Island."
Robin said with a smile. The other girls had the same expression.
They were content watching the few girls playing outside from the ship and wouldn’t join in.
"Don’t be so unsociable. It’s rare to come to the seabed. Of course it’s better to experience it personally."
Rorschach ignored their explanations. He created several bubbles with the bubble coral, then pulled the girls and jumped out.
Reiju, Monet, and Karina each stayed in their own bubble, while Rorschach shared one with Robin.
Rorschach held Robin’s small hand, pushing the bubble to move, feeling the flow of seawater and the sensation of the deep sea.
Robin also touched the surface of the bubble with flowing eyes, then closed her eyes to carefully feel the sensation in the deep sea.
Before entering the deep sea from the surface layer, they played here for a while.
They only returned to the ship when the vessel was about to leave the surface layer and enter the deep sea.
However, a trace of mischievous light flashed in Rorschach’s eyes.
He lightly poked the bubble, and seawater instantly poured in. Robin was stunned.
Caught off guard, she could only hold her breath to keep seawater from entering her nose and mouth, but the feeling of weakness in her body made her unable to move.
Rorschach grabbed her waist, then leaned his head over and gave Robin a breath of air.
Robin barely opened her eyes, looked at Rorschach’s face in front of her, and silently remembered this grudge. But she still obediently accepted the air Rorschach gave her.
This continued for a minute until Rorschach brought her back to the Ryūyū.
The girls on the ship watched them with great interest.
"Well done, our Captain Rorschach! You even thought of this method to take advantage of Big Sister Robin."
Karina looked at the two who were already soaked and teased.
Perona and Vivi covered their flushed faces with both hands, but through the gaps in their fingers, one could still see their wide-open eyes.
"Hm? What are you talking about? The bubble just now seemed not very sturdy. It was poked by a small fish. I had no choice but to use this method to bring Robin back."
Rorschach said with an innocent face, as if justice stood behind him and he had no choice but to do this.
"Hemmm~~~~ Then why did it take so long? With your strength, you could have returned to the ship in one second, right? Yet it took a full minute." freēwēbnovel.com
Karina didn’t let him off and continued speaking as if she wanted to stir up trouble.
It was as if fueling the fire would reveal something interesting.
"Ah, isn’t it because Big Sister Robin’s lips are too soft? I got lost in the moment and forgot I could swim quickly in the sea."
Rorschach scratched his head with an innocent look.
"Hehe, I think that’s the truth!"
Karina looked at him with a mischievous smile.
Robin also ’fiercely’ glared at Rorschach, who was still hugging her, and reached out to pinch his waist hard.
But because his skin was too thick, it caused no damage. Robin’s revenge could only end there, and Rorschach could only laugh awkwardly.
Rorschach’s intentions were known to everyone. No matter how he tried to hide it, he couldn’t fool the girls on the ship.
