Chapter 36: The Decision of the Stars and Moons

About a few hours before Saudis met Nobil, the star and moon tribes living in the sea held a meeting headed by a chief. The content is precisely about the petrochemical that is now being problematized in the ocean.

One person is petrifying the seafood and aquatic habitats around here one after the other, and the star and sea crescent tribes, which are regarded as the centers of its production, have been bombarded by other species.

The Stars and Moons know who did the petrochemical. Yu, the subordinate, is also a member of the Hoshikaido clan. But since I kicked her out of her home, I should have told the chief of the other tribes that there would be no more petrification around here, but the spear of anger wouldn't draw me anywhere.

Of course, if they think about it, they have unilaterally petrified their people, and even if the cause is not there now, they should take responsibility as the same star and crescent tribe.

However, the opinion of the chairman who thinks so does not seem to be conveyed to others.

"What are you talking about! Isn't that what the Bakemon did?

"Yes! We're victims too!

"And we don't have to wipe that ass anymore because we don't have anything to do with it!

All the family can do is criticize you. Even if it is true that Yu caused it unconsciously, it is true that he has suffered a great deal as a result.

It is also true that other species have told me to take responsibility as the same species and get out of this sea. But there is no one in the family who accepts it and is convinced.

Because their families are also petrified by Yu. Most people here hate that kind of use.

"Everyone, we are now in a critical situation of being chased by Yu for what he has done. But you're still suffering, aren't you?

But few accept the word of the chief.

"Why! You've already kicked out the Bakemon, so the ocean must be at peace! It is good evidence that nothing has been petrified in the past few moments!

As he was right, the last few days have been long. Until now, almost every day, something petrified appeared. It was a sea algae slightly off the coast or a deep-sea creature, but that's not happening at all.

"Must have gone far, or been eaten to death by a dodgy creature! Of course it is!

"This is not a rare thing to say. Even if you kick him out, he's not from the same star, the same moon."

Everyone puts their shoulders to such a long word. Silence persisted, and a man came in a hurry in a harsh atmosphere.

"What's the matter?

The man was also a star, sea and moon, but what he told me was that everyone was surprised and frozen time.

Ma, are you serious?

Keep an eye on him as if he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, yes. It seems that the leaders of the other species decided at the meeting."

"... cum"

The length tied his teeth,

"You want me to give you the person who is causing the problem....?

"Yes, yes."

"Otherwise... we will eliminate the clan by empowering it..."?

"...... yes"

The man replies to squeeze out, and the head expresses anguish. If we don't find the Petrify Man, Yu, and push him out in front of them, the family will wipe him out of this sea with all their might.

It seems that the chiefs of the other races made that decision. You want to take care of the killer yourself. Maybe the anger won't go away if I don't.

Unfortunately, many of the aquatic communities that live here are temperamental.

"The earliest words won't fix it...."

Not only the chief, but also others are complaining about the request. Because Yu is not here. They have no idea where she is anywhere near protruding.

"Come on, how long is the deadline?

"... a week... let's do it."

In other words, in a week, you will have to find out where you are in this vast ocean. Clearly equates to an impossible task.

The director thought we had no choice but to leave here.

"... they might find us."

So the clan murmured. And the others said, "What do you mean?" and asked,

"As a matter of fact, I've been pinching my ears lately, but there's a man who lives in a sea shrine a few kilometers from here."

"What's wrong with that?

"They call him the killer of the sea, and they'll do anything, whether it's grabbing or killing, depending on the reward. Why don't you ask him? He says he's been walking all over the ocean, so maybe you can find him."

In the man's words, the others exclaim, "Oh!" But only the length of the face remained reluctant.

"Everybody, are you sure you want to find Yu and stick it out?

"Of course! How much damage do you think he's taking?

"But then....."

"Whatever the captain says, I'll make contact with the man for the peace of the clan."

"You're one of the family, aren't you?

"Such a bakemon is not a family!

The man yells alone, but others nod with the same thoughts. And then everyone left the scene silently.

And the captain, who was left alone, went to his place, and stood at the present of certain things.

"... I'm sorry, I can't find a way to stop everyone."

His sad eyes reflected the petrified Yu's mother.

Upon returning to the Mansion, Sauji and Yoyo were pointing their difficult faces at each other in Yoyo's study. The reason for this is the information we got from Nobil, the informant.

It was only an informant that Yoyo relied on, and it also contained profiles of the aquatic communities living near the sea. Although the details were wonderful, the most surprising thing was that a decision had now been made among the aquatic communities.

Many aquatic tribes have been petrified, and it was Yu who did it, but she is a star, sea and moon tribe. The Hoshikaizuki people were asked to leave their homes as a responsibility.

Of course, the Stars and Moons who are objecting to it, but there was a proposal that the heads of other aquatic communities should drink it as a compromise.

It is the handover of Yu. If the wrath of the aquatic communities living off the coast does not subside and you do not present Yu, who is the tenant, it means that they will be removed from the sea with strength.

If we succeed in this way, the Stars and Moons may be destroyed. Of course, if the Hoshikaido tribe exits the sea, it will be rounded up, but they still don't seem convinced.

And you're worried about me.

Tell Yoyo to murmur as he drops his gaze on the paper.

"That's right. I didn't know the Stars and Moons hired a man called the Sea Assassin... did you?

"I guess so. You're going to let the assassin find you and capture you."

What do you know about the assassin?

"It's written on another piece of paper. Fufu, the information is really fresh."

There are several sheets of paper handed over, and Yoyo spreads one of them to the desk.

"His name is Jack Knott. It seems to be an aquatic tribe called the Rikusama, which originally inhabited the northern sea."

"Hee, surely the Lu Xi clan has a lot of belligerent personalities, so it was a family that excelled in fighting, right?

"Yeah, and Jack Knott was particularly aggressive among them, and he was fine killing his people."

"You suck."

If you admit you're an enemy, you'll be fine with hurting them, even if they're allies. Looks like he's got a pretty dangerous personality.

"Why is he around here now?

"That's, uh... there it is.... I see, he came this far after being chased by the sea for killing his people."

"So you're running away?

"I see. It's not as dangerous here as the northern sea, so you thought you could enjoy killing yourself?

It's a motive enough to make you nauseous. Of course, the reason Yoyo speculated does not necessarily fit, but the people who kill their friends....

When I think about it, Sawge thinks about you. And Yoyo opened his mouth as if he had read such thoughts.

"Saudge, he's a pure and good kid. Even if he hurt his people as a result, he has the will to regret it and make amends."

"... that's right. I'm sorry, miss."

"Besides, the petrified ones aren't dead yet."

Yes. She's right. Even if Yu was unconsciously hurting a lot of people, she has enough pain to shed tears on it.

Sure enough, the petrified ones aren't dead yet, so Soji scolds himself for thinking he killed his friends.

"But if Jack Knott moves, it's a little troublesome."

"I see. I don't know how good he is at gathering information, but if I knew you were here, I'd be sure to come more than hired."

In fact, since you have been acting quite prominently since you went ashore, you will be able to get some information if you ask about Yu, who also has a characteristic figure.

"... at the council of chiefs, it seems that the Stars and Moons have been given a week."

"It's short. They will also look for you in the eyes of blood."

"I see. Try not to leave the Mansion as hard as you can, and this petrochemical problem... I don't know if I can cure it if I don't actually see it all."

"I wish I could cure it with my green flame and my daughter's 'rhythm', but I can't say anything unless I actually look at it."

"... is there anything you came to this mansion to petrify?

"Oh, I see. If you cure it, you can cure other things, right? But what if it isn't?

Rather, the maids will let us know if they are in the Mansion, so they will probably not find them. Yoyo seems to know that too.

"... it would be best if Yu uses her power, but apparently she doesn't have complete control over it, so it's hard to force her to take into account the dangers of runaway."

If you can control your power, whether it's a book on the bookshelf or whatever paper you have at hand, you can petrify it and see if you can undo it.

However, from her story, I can deduce that although I did realize my own power, it seems that it has not been fully handled.

"If I touch her and tune, I'll understand the essence of her power more..."

"... do you want to call you Yu?

Yoyo closed her eyes and spent a little time thinking. And then...

"I see. We're going to lose time while we do this. Let's do the same for her."

Soji answered and went out of the room to call Yu. Then I asked the maids if they had any petrified objects, but I couldn't find them. I still have to rely on you.
