I am Noble

Nami grips the barbed wire as if it were broken. The barbed wire in her hand distorts so easily. The wire fence exposed to the hot heat rises red and smokes out.

I thought it was a mistake. However, no matter how much I rubbed my eyes and checked, I was not mistaken. Even though I haven't seen him for a long time, how can I not recognize him?

I wanted to run quickly. I wanted to run and save him. But she desperately restrained herself.

"You can't use your power on the ground. Besides, he can't beat him like this. ’

She lost a lot of things by losing her original appearance.

I became very weak once. The fin becomes weaker while turning into a leg. The price for obtaining human shells and infiltrating human society. Whether it is due to the birth of the sea or the power that can be generated on the ground is significantly reduced.

It will be difficult to deal with Brownie because of the loss of its original form, its tail turned into a leg, and its overlap of these three facts.

‘Your power is repressed. It's probably because the red crystals inside you are changing. We don't know when it's going to end. If it's short, it'll be over tomorrow, and if it's long, it'll take decades. ’

Remembering Regina's words, Nami grips her teeth.

I wanted to run now. I wanted to take care of the poor child playing in the hands of Humans.

But not now. There was nothing she could do for the baby now.

With this body, we need to find what we can with who we are. Until we create an opportunity to take the cub back to sea, we must be patient.

“Breeding isn't as new as I thought. ”

“Don't you listen well? ”

“That's not it. I'm following Brownie around for fear of him. It's just that they're not very intelligent, they don't understand what they're doing, they don't understand what they're supposed to be doing. ”

“You're a retard. ”

“It could be because it's too young. Or maybe there's a difference between Moby Dick and his species. ”

In Sejong City Research Center, the best topic these days was young shark monster Lincoln. The researchers told the story when the three of them were together.

Nami couldn't get a hold of things. I wanted to run to my cub several times a day, or every moment. I wanted to give my mom a big hug because she came to see me.

“Nami's researcher? What makes you think that? ”

“…… Yes? It's nothing. ”

“It's been weird lately. I think I'm starting to get the wrong idea. What's going on? ”

“There's no such thing. ”

I think my voice is getting cold without me knowing it. Nami was anxious to react to the slightly overwhelmed opponent. I've been good at pretending to be a researcher so far, but it will be a loss if I buy something trivial.

“Well… I'm just worried……. ”

The male researcher frowns. Unlike Nami's anxiety, he didn't suspect or suspect anything. I spoke to him because I was interested, but I was just surprised by the slightly cold reaction.

Nami went straight to Regina on her way home from work.

“He was alive. ”

“What?”

“My child. ”

“ ……? ”

Regina was flawed for a moment. At first, I was curious, but soon my face changed as I understood it.

“You knew, didn't you? ”

“What?”

“My child is alive. ”

“I knew it. ”

“Then why didn't you tell me? ”

“When did you ask? ”

“ ……. ”

“You said you needed human knowledge to see the changes in your body. And then I thought I was going to save your child. I just didn't ask because I didn't think it was necessary. I didn't know you knew he was dead. ”

Regina was right. Nami never told her everything. He just said that the changes that happen to his body are used to analyze them. If you mentioned revenge on Janice, I think Regina might be out of the picture.

“Knowledge acquisition wasn't everything, was it? The real purpose was to avenge a child who thought he was dead or dead? ”

“... That's right. ”

Even though it was not a denial now, Nami simply said yes. Regina fixes her glasses and talks.

“I had Janice's help indirectly. Hitting Janice won't help. I'm a person, too. ”

“ ……. ”

“But I can help you if you just get the cub back. Now, it's very important that you think carefully and answer it. What are you gonna do after you get the baby back? ”

Nami gripped her teeth.

Not long ago, I poisoned the child with vengeance. But now it's gone like snow. I didn't want to know the reason for the change in my body anymore.

All I want is one thing, to get my child back. And…….

“I'm going back to the sea. ”

“And then? ”

“I'm not coming out of the sea. It was originally our home. I don't want to run into Humans. I don't want to risk it anymore. All we have to do is find my baby, and we can go back to the ocean together. ”

Regina nods as if she knew.

“We have one more promise. ”

“Will you help me? ”

“Of course.”

“What do I do? ”

Regina gives you a straight answer, as if she had already figured out a way.

“Go to Janice first. ”

“You want to join the breeding? ”

Suddenly, Nami came and asked for such a favor, and Susu Woong suddenly smiled. Why would Nami, a crystallographer, want to raise Lincoln? It's not very relevant, but at least as different as theoretical physics and robotics.

“Yes. I've always been interested in raising monsters. I don't think I can take on an important mission without a career. It's as simple as that. I would love to participate. ”

“But it's such a waste to use talent from MIT……. ”

“I won't give up the project I'm working on. He's interested in raising monsters, so he wants to participate. Please allow me."

“It's none of my business, but are you okay with that? If you want to do two things at the same time, it's going to be a lot harder. ”

“It's what I do because I like it. ”

“Then do it. I talk to people. ”

Ji-woong understood the whimsy of a genius scientist or the prolongation of his hobbies.

The Hyo Ung Industrial Research Team complained about Nami's participation in monster training as an assistant controller. She was in love with all the men. Everyone was anxious whether or not they were considering leaving.

“Participate in the breeding of monsters? That would be a completely different field than theoretical crystallography. Isn't it just like training predators? ”

“So what does the company do? Are you going out?”

“I heard you're not going out. Companies follow corporations, train monsters. He got permission from the chairman himself. ”

“To the chairman? She's a different kind of beauty. We can't even dream of applying for a bachelor's degree. ”

It was Nami's first day of training. She thumps as her heart bursts.

“Nami, be careful. I deal with monsters the same way, but not in the work of a theoretical scientist. But don't get too nervous. ”

“Yes.”

The male controller in his 40s was kind. Nami got inside the fence wearing a life vest in rubber boots. When Brownie's eyes met, his heart beat for no reason. Luckily, Brownie shows no interest in her. I don't feel anything strange about her.

― Kuaaaak!

Lincoln, a monster with his head on the water, suddenly growls, screaming sharply at Nami. Nami was surprised.

“Oh, calm down. That's what happens when someone new shows up. We just have to be vigilant. ”

“…… Who's new to this? You're being cautious?”

“Yes. It takes some time to loosen your guard, but Nami is pretty, so she'll be close soon. ”

The controller makes a grouchy sound, but she doesn't hear it in her ears.

My head is numb. I didn't think so, but I was expecting you to find out. The hope was unbreakable, leaving a big hole in his chest.

She takes a step, not even knowing it.

“Nami! It's dangerous!”

As she gets closer, Lincoln growls and reveals his teeth. It was a calf of a predator who was wary of strangers' approaches. Nami only regained consciousness when the controller grabbed her arm.

“What's wrong with you? Do not approach carelessly. Brownie's scared, so he listens, but he's basically very fierce and has little understanding of behavior. Be careful, be careful. ”

Standing tall, she looks at Lincoln. The controllers converge and begin training. With a stone on her chest, she stands alone forever.

* * *

Nami participated in training every day. Even though the cub does not recognize himself and is showing vigilance, he never forgets to participate. I wanted to see him like this. But what's sad is you can't even touch it once.

None of the guards touch Lincoln directly. Because it's dangerous. No matter how much I listen to Brownie, he's basically a monster, and I don't know where he goes.

It was a dark night.

A shadow rushes over the fence. It's Nami. Regina disabled the surveillance system, so there's no need to worry. It's probably just a pile of screen right now.

No brownies today. He said he went up for another job for a while. If it wasn't for today, I wouldn't have a chance. We must flee with the cub today.

― Grrrrrrr…….

Lincoln cries out in popularity. I feel a lot of nerves. Nami treads carefully towards Lincoln.

“It's me, do you recognize me? ”

― Grrr…….

“Don't you recognize it? It's me, it's mom. ”

― Grrr…….

Nami didn't know what to do. We need to get him out of here fast, but he's keeping an eye on himself. I wish I could talk, but I've lost the means of communicating with my cubs as I become my current body.

She bites her lip. I took my hand to the button. I took my shirt off. I took my pants off. She walks into the water, completely naked. The red hair coming down to the waist reflected the moonlight with a luscious bounce.

― Kuaaaak!

The startled cub charges quickly and attempts to strike. Nami jumps on her baby's head. The cub lunges at her to knock her down.

“Don't be afraid. It's mommy. She's here to see you. ”

The cub was more violent. I don't feel angry, I feel scared.

Nami's body was covered in light. She slowly lands on the surface, floating through the air. The white light seems to envelop her entire body, condensing to her lower half and emitting a more intense glow.

― Grrr…….

The cub flinches back slightly, making a low threat whether it was surprised or not. The light that clung to Nami's lower body fades.

The white and thin legs disappeared, and a smooth tail appeared instead. Charming, if they saw it, calling it a mermaid.

The cub stops threatening. He didn't even flinch like he was stiff. I didn't think his eyes would fall off Nami's tail.

She stands on her tail on the surface and asks with desperation.

“Do you recognize it? ”

There's no rhythm. Nami carefully approached her cub, floating on the surface of the water. The little guy who always hugged me with a fin is now even bigger than himself.

I reach out my hand and try to touch it. I do not refuse. The giant, trembling eyes cling to her tail.

As she bites, she shakes her head. I felt like I was going to cry. How could I forget? Every time I wrapped him in my fins, he used to yell at his head like this.

“You recognize……. ”

Nami wrapped her baby's head around her like she was hugging her arms.
