Chapter 45.1: Space Leap (3)
Seawater tribe.
One of the many rare races that existed in this world.
The woman in front of right now definitely belonged to that tribe.
Because the only race that appeared to be an ordinary human on the ground and the appearance of a whole body covered with scales in the water was them.
I was a little surprised because I didn’t expect to see such a rare race in a place like this.
“What are you staring at? Are you curious?”
“···”
He’s a bit of a funny guy.
The scales that had sprouted on the skin almost disappeared.
She was completely naked because she wasn’t wearing a single piece of clothing, so I glanced away.
···Co to think of it, they weren’t the kind of people who were ashad of showing their naked body like humans.
The woman glanced at and then continued with a tongue-in-cheek tone.
“How long are you going to be stunned? Aren’t you going to say thank you to for saving you from becoming fish food?”
I also got up and shook my head.
“There’s no need for you to save .”
“···What?”
“It wasn’t even dangerous. You just did sothing useless.”
I could just say thank you and move on, but the way she spoke was annoying.
“Wow, hah! So, that was not dangerous.”
“Yes.”
“You’re really shaless. Is it so hard to say thank you? Did you think I’d ask for anything in return for saving you, like you humans do?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“Okay, that’s all right. Boy, anyway, that’s why human bastards are…”
She shook her head and turned around.
I stared at her back.
‘Do the Seawater tribe also live in Gaitan Lake?’
It was a fact I didn’t know at all.
Because it was such a rare race that I only saw it once while playing the ga.
And I knew that the Seawater tribe was definitely a tribe that inhabited the ocean… Why the hell were they in a lake like this?
As it was an unexpected encounter, I felt a little strange, but a thought suddenly ca to my mind.
···Then do they know so important information about the lake here?
Could they know where the place I was looking for was?
After thinking about it up to that point, I imdiately called after the woman.
“Hey, Seawater person.”
She stopped walking at my call and turned her head back. She had a slightly bewildered face.
“Who are you? Do you know about our race?”
“Yes.”
“How?”
“Because I’ve seen it in a book. A legendary race that has a human form on the ground and scales like fish in the water.”
“···, a legend?”
The corners of her lips twitched.
“Hmm, hmm. It’s a legend. Is our race so famous to you humans?”
“···”
Did she like hearing the word “legendary”?
I just ant that it’s a race that was rarely seen.
As she stared at , she suddenly gave a look of disappointnt.
“Oh, no? I’m not a Seawater person? You’re wrong, human.”
Why was she acting like that suddenly?
“I’m right.”
“No, sir. Don’t go around saying that you saw here, huh?”
She started murmuring that she saved for nothing.
Like the vampires of Elrod Forest, I wondered if they were concerned that their ho would be exposed.
Still, she didn’t want to kill , but she tried to save .
“So what? Why are you calling ?” she asked.
I asked her.
“Are you aware of the rock formations in the lake? Or is there a cave?”
She made a strange expression, then frowned and replied.
“I don’t know. Why are you asking that?”
I didn’t miss that subtle change.
After gaining extra sensory, I could read other people’s facial expressions better, but she especially could not hide her emotions.
So I was half sure. That she knew the place I just said.
“You know.”
As I spoke again, I saw her flinch. So, she really knew about it.
“Please. I want you to guide there.”
“No, I don’t know.”
“If there is anything you want, I will repay you in the best possible way.”
She snorted and turned back.
“Well, don’t hold on to with useless words. If you chase , I’ll throw you back into the lake, so don’t chase after .”
Then she ran and disappeared into the forest in an instant.
I brushed my hair once more and stared at the forest.
I wasn’t worried about losing her.
It seed that they settled here by the lake, anyway.
How should I coax that?
I’d go back and try again later.

After returning to the carriage, drying myself and eating, I imdiately took Asher back to the place where I had t the woman.
I followed the trail she left.
Footprints on the floor, tread marks, etc., were enough to figure out where she was headed.
There were traces that would be difficult to find normally, but it wasn’t too difficult to notice with super sensory. It was also very useful for tracking.
The place we reached after chasing the trail was a cave located deep in the forest.
I saw two n standing at the entrance of the cave, chatting.
They looked like they were standing guard, and when they saw us, they stiffened their faces.
“···Humans?”
It seed to be the right place.
One hurried into the cave, and the other shouted at us as we approached the cave.
“Stop, human!”
I quietly stopped.
I felt others coming from inside, so I waited quietly.
Soon, dozens of Seawater tribe people ca out of the cave. Fortunately, this ti they were all wearing clothes, so there was no need for to look elsewhere.
“···Hey you!”
One of them, a woman with a familiar face, saw and pointed a finger at and shouted.
“How did you know we’re here?”
