From the promontory of the fortress city of Garbee, you can see the entire Ramallon Sea. The sun shining brilliantly on the surface of the sea is beautiful. And as you look out to sea, you will see two whirlpools. The majestic and magnificent whirlpools give life to those who see them. Linos has loved this sight ever since he arrived in this city.

"Oh no, it's a big whirlpool today, too!

Every time I come to Garbee, I am impressed by this whirlpool. I feel as if the bottomless power of the sea is emanating from there, and I feel invigorated. Okay, let's go for it today! Keep up the good work at night! I feel like "I'm going to do it. I wish I could see this scene every day.

As I think about this, I feel the presence of some men behind me. They don't seem to be hostile to me, as I don't feel their deadly intent. I slowly turn around.

"King Agartha, I presume you are Master Linos.

Standing there were six men who looked strong at first glance. All were dressed with the flamboyance of Indians. Their clothes were full of primary colors and their ornaments were dazzling.

"Yes, yes. I am Linos. Who are you?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Mulloy and I am the head of the fishing cooperative here in the city of Garbee. I have come here to ask a favor from the king of Agartha, Linos.

The men who call themselves mulloys get down on one knee and hang their heads. I bend down on my knees and try to get as close to eye level with them as possible.

"Don't be so afraid. You're asking me for a favor. If I can help you, I will. Talk to me."

"Thank you!"

With a twinkle in his eye, Mulloy begins to speak.

Garbee was originally founded as a fishing town. The town was very prosperous because of the inexhaustible supply of fish from the sea. The first emperor of the Lamaronian Empire used this abundance of seafood as a source of trade, and grew in power. The city is well known as a strong fortress city, but it was also a fishing port that boasted the largest catch of fish in the kingdom.

Four years ago, however, the Lamarong Sea suddenly began to swirl. At first, they were small in scale, but they grew larger and larger with each passing day until they reached their present size. Moreover, the whirlpool, which was only one at the beginning, had become two at some point. The sea was always rough, and it became impossible to launch fishing boats. For the past few years, the fishermen had been making do by catching fish near the beach, but this had reached its limits. Furthermore, the city has a fairly large harbor, but the rough seas have prevented trading ships from coming to the city. Combined with the poor food situation of the imperial government, the city was in a state of near starvation.

Mulroy and the others came to me for advice on how to overcome this situation.

"Hmmm, I don't know much about the sea either..."

I think, folding my arms. Mulloy and the others open their mouths with anxious looks on their faces.

"We know it's a lot to ask. I hear that Linos-sama is using various medicines and spirits to restore the Imperial fields. Whether or not that can be applied to the sea, I thought it might be possible and came to you for advice.

"Well, I'll give it some thought."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, I got Mulloy's contact information and set about my work in Garbee.

When night fell, I returned to my residence in the capital and immediately told my family about Mulloy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah. That sea will be rough."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was Ruara who said that to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's the Lamarong Sea, isn't it? I believe that's the sea where Ampitrite is..."

"Ampitrite...?"

King Poseidon's... wife.

What's that?

It is said that Luara's father, Poseidon, and his wife, Amphitrite, had a great love affair. It was a fairy tale, and Rico and others loved the story when they were young, and they begged the courtesan to tell them the story over and over again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It really is a wonderful fairy tale.... The scene when Poseidon proposes to her over the objections of the gods is still moving to me even now.

Rico's eyes swim hollowly, and he trips into another world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gohon, I've met King Poseidon myself, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be into that kind of pure love. Well, it's just a fairy tale."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, it seems to be true."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ruara immediately responds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you sure?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes... From what I've been told, my father had not yet had any contact with a woman.

What do you mean, first love?

I think it was...

"Well, it looks like it's me and Linos then!"

Only one person, Rico, is happy. King Poseidon was happy to have married the woman of his dreams, but once he got to know her, he began to take an interest in women, and he started to have more and more concubines, until now.

"My father is serious in a weird way..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ruara, I don't doubt your father's feelings. I don't doubt it, but... that was too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For some reason, Ruara is depressed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, there is no need for Ruara to be depressed. So the Lamarong Sea is rough because Amphitrite is getting jealous...?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I am sure of it. I think they are very angry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"To think that those whirlpools represent the resentment swirling around in the heart of the Queen of the Seas... It's true that fish won't come near it and fishing boats won't go near it..."

After that, we discussed countermeasures against Ampitrite, with Ruara taking the lead. It would have been more effective if Luara, who used to be a priestess in the service of the god of the sea, had sung a song (enka) to him, but she was the daughter of a husband who hated her. But she is the daughter of the husband whom she hates. However, Ruara insisted on giving it a try, so we decided to take her there once.

That night, when I was alone with Rico, she whispered in my ear

"I know how you can win back the love of King Poseidon, my queen.

"What do you mean, Rico?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Love your master more than any other chamberlain, and you will be loved.

"Which... how?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's easy. We just have to make sure they don't leave us. Like this.

Rico clings to my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, Rico, this isn't..."

"Linos, have you grown tired of me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't shout so loud. You'll wake up Eryl.

What about me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I love you..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I love you, too. I wish the kings of Poseidon were like us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, yes."

That night, Rico did not let go of my hand until the sky was white, and our bodies remained tight together.

The next day, I was transferred to Garbee with Ruara. From the cape we could see the usual magnificent whirlpools. When Ruara saw it, she couldn't help but scream.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is ... what a tremendous rage ..." she exclaimed. I can't possibly caress it..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, don't be scared, Luara. Try it once."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Luara sings to the whirlpool with all her might. She sings the classic heartbreak song I taught her. If someone takes you away from me, can I kill you? It's a song about a man who is a man who is a man. It is quite difficult to sing, but as one would expect from Ruara, she did it well. She sang beautifully, and her use of the knob was perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...I don't think I can do it..."

The whirlpools show no sign of abating, and the sea is violently stormy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...It can't be helped. We'll find another way.

I mutter weakly. Looking at the whirlpools, as majestic as ever, I suddenly remembered a song my father used to sing to me in the bathtub when I was a kid. I hum the song unintentionally.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Autumn... my lover has left me... I'm freezing cold... My lover... Stay with me... And I hope this goodbye story is a joke...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Master... what a sad song...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ruara, you have to have a broken heart to understand this. It's too early for you to know the depth of this song.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mutter nihilistically as I look out to sea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it's too early. But I understand a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden, Luara?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I turned around, there was a little girl of elementary school age standing there, dressed like a courtesan of the Heian period.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...Who is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's you, isn't it? He was singing just now. It's exactly how I feel. It was so soothing.

"...what? What about you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My name is Ampitrite. My name is Tori-chan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you... King Poseidon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I'm Don's wife. But she won't come to us. He went to another woman. I was lonely. I was frustrated. I was frustrated. So I was trolling the sea next to Dong-chan's and hitting on him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm so sorry. Even though it was my father... I'm sorry..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Luara is on her knees apologizing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who are you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I am Ruara, the 217th daughter of King Poseidon."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then Ruara reported on the current situation of King Poseidon, and she apologized again and again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My queen, if you wish, I can convey your feelings to King Poseidon through this Ruara. But... I don't think it will cure the king of his proclivities. We will do what we can to help her if it will make her feel better. The people of the sea are in trouble. If possible, we would be grateful if you could quiet the sea..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ampitrite closes his eyes and sits still, thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wasn't very popular either. Now that you've given me a good song, I'm going to open the sea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She mutters sadly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you. Since you're here, JoOusama. Let's have a lively festival on the sea a few times a year. I'll offer you something delicious. We'll sing songs and play music, though we're not very good at it. How about it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that would make me feel less lonely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So let's do it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And so the whirlpools disappeared in Garbee, and the sea returned to calm. The fishermen were thrilled and were able to go fishing for the first time in years. The fishermen held festivals at every turn of the season to express their gratitude to the Queen of the Seas.

But what the Linos did not know. Little did Rinos and his friends know that the sea and the harbor that had been opened to them would later become the scene of tragedy...
