Forty-Eight Stories: Eyes Under the Water

Do not fall out of your head. The distance to the surface of the water exceeds the limit distance that humans can jump in intact. If you land water from your head, your neck bones will break, and if your belly or back touches the surface of the water, your guts may burst.

Feet. Put your heels together like a single pile and punch them into the water, letting the impact escape to the outside of your body. That was the safest landing attitude I could take to survive.

Sabitoga uses a gripping spear and hands and feet to desperately position herself in the air. I also tried to warn the girl who jumped earlier, but her appearance was nowhere in my sight. He flew further away to the surface than Sabitoga in a spear-like position with both hands protruding.

Overhead, I can hear Straw and Ledge. Then from his back, he also heard the girl's ringing.

The moment I put my strength into the muscles all over my body and closed my eyes, I lost the feeling of being ahead of me from my knee with a slight impact.

In an instant all the noise moved away from my ears, my skin numbed all over my body, and my closed eyelids opened at will.

In the world of blue water, a group of blubber flies. The soil that had fallen with Sabitoga sank down the water where the light soot danced, pulling the tail of the bubbles.

Strange, I didn't feel any pain. There is no pain or fading consciousness of the fracture I was prepared for, but only the skin is numb to the impact of the watering. Therefore, I don't feel the cold in the water either. The feeling of water and blur touching both open eyes reversed Sabitoga's consciousness, creating room to observe the surroundings.

Soft water, I thought. The shock during the landing was serious, but the water didn't start as well as I thought of Sabitoga's body, swallowing deep and deep into the bottom. Though I was able to take a reasonable (or so) landing attitude, it seemed a little too sinking. The quality of the water is different from that of the underground lake in the birth canal.

If I rolled my eyeballs, I could see countless bubbles standing from the bottom of the water to the surface, besides the surroundings of Sabitoga. Reflecting glitter of light and shining like fireballs, there are many of them that arise in puddles that do not have streams like rivers.

The bubbling water bottom is far away, far below Sabitoga's feet. There seemed to be plenty of rocks sinking in there that shed blue darkness, and the bubbles were thrown out of that rock gap.

I don't know if the air created by the Buna Forest would come around to the bottom of the water for some convenience, or if the same gas that had accumulated in the cave of the birth canal was erupting, but Sabitoga thought, or maybe this bubble saved himself.

Water containing a large amount of air bubbles softens the impact at landing than water that is not. This puddle, where gases are constantly sprayed (fu) up from the bottom, may be making the body of those who fall off the slopes unharmed as much as possible.

The fact that the ramp descending the great hole had disappeared halfway has now (not to mention) seemed deliberate. Only those who dare to jump in seemingly reckless can reach the bottom of the hole.

It's probably the last trial, sorting 'excellent Gentiles'.

Sabitoga moved her legs slowly, making sure there was no damage before she started swimming to the surface. The feeling that I was paralyzed (eyelid) by the shock of the watering had already gone away, and the tickling sensation of the air bubbles that made my skin disappeared.

The puddle has enough water depth and no rocks stretched out of the bottom. It would be okay to call Straw and Reggie. With that in mind, Sabitoga reached out to the surface of the water, eventually creeping through the water and inhaling heavily.

I can breathe deeply several times, calm my beating heart, and then wave to the voices of my colleagues heard from overhead to respond. "It's all right! Fall off my feet!" - Shouting so, Sabitoga turned her neck and looked for the girl.

Beyond the looming surface of the water, the head of the girl swimming towards the shore was hidden. Sabitoga turns the spear to the bottom of the water and only moves her legs to follow the girl.

I didn't know why she jumped into the water for nothing or why she approached the shadow she saw on the shore. But for now, you can't just lift her up to shore by herself. Sabitoga continued to kick (kick) the water without looking back, even as she heard a Straw or Ledge ringtone behind her back.

As we swam the giant puddle toward the shore, the rocks on the bottom of the water stopped bubbling and the water became more transparent. The girl in front can also be seen over the water, and shrimp like garbage or some sort of toddler starts to stick in the water.

Sabitoga lowered her gaze and asked how the bottom of the water was. Coquetted rocks roll down the bottom of the water that has risen, and innumerable white two shells fit in that gap. There was a hole in some of the two shells, from which the eyes of a creature like Yadkari peered.

A group of shadowy little fish inadvertently cross over the rare yadkari lurking in the two shells that remain closed. What follows is a fish that resembles a mass of more than a hug.

At the bottom of the big hole we reached by cutting food stuffs, there was a sight that exceeded expectations. The sound of a girl's body rising out of the water reaches Sabitoga's ears, which can force her into her unconsciously gripping (nibbling) spear hand.

puts his gaze back in front of him all the time and quickens his legs kicking (open) water. The shore was already just that close, and the smell of grass was coming down to the surface.

Water, kick, hurry. Eventually, when the surface of the surface separated itself from the rocks, offering soft mud to Sabitoga's feet.

Sabitoga was stunned by the shape (become) of the shadow holding the girl on the shore.

"... this is...!?

Muddy muddy tip. The figure standing on the ground, where the short grass grew, had a thin, long arm with a black robe wrapped around the girl's torso several times (no).

It is as if it were a parasitic plant parasitic to a tree, quietly repeating its pulse and emptying with its fingertips. It is in the shape of a man's hand, but its length and softness only made me think that there was no bone passing through it.

The shadow... No, the 'alien' holding the girl turns her head wrapped in the hood of a robe, roughly to Sabitoga.

A lump of meat with the colour of a person's skin made an incomprehensible sound from the back of the hood. There's only one tiny rip in the head with no eyes, no nose, no mouth, like a hole in two shells (ah).

From that rift, the moment there was a peep of an eye that resembled a creature under the water.

Sabitoga was reflexively swinging his spear and flying abnormally.
