Blistering....
Stinging....
The hot air....
A strong wind blows, hitting the sea and making it a wave....

“AH, DUH!
"PANAAAAAS!”
An Elf complained with her cries being vented, which was none other than Jourgan. He wears a bright blue swimsuit, as well as a straw hat.
“UGH!
“Come find shelter soon, Brother Jour!”
Danny gave advice. She now wears only Hawaiian pants and sweats all over her body.
“Again!” reply Jourgan, “why doesn't anyone want to visit this beach? Such a beautiful, fresh water, but with the hot sun .. I heard the beach is always crowded with people?!
"If there's a Kraken, at least if there's nothing threatening, it won't be a problem, will it?!"
“Come on Brother Jour!
“If you scream like that, it will even feel hotter! Besides there are no cliffs, buildings, or trees around here, if we make something out of magic just to shelter, it only allows us to pull the Kraken....
“At least that's what I know when digging information in the previous village.”
......................
Kraken....
A legendary creature—or more appropriate if it is called a giant sea monster—which is known to have the body of an octopus. In his legend, he was an evil being who destroyed anything that approached him. Similarly, what Danny had obtained before walking on the beach, based on the testimony of local villagers.
No one dared to go to the beach again because of the Kraken, even until there was a rusty cross indicating, “CAUTI-HATI, KRAKEN GANAS! PLEASE DON'T LURE HIM WITH MAGIC!”

“Cih. Kraken, is..?” Jourgan wondered, “I actually so doubt Kraken is guarding the Soul Stone, lo, Dan!”
“Eh? Why?” ask Danny.
Jourgan clenched both of her hands. “Entahlah. Instinct only.”
Danny then grinned. “Then, no need to further pleasantries.”
Jourgan reflexes turned to Danny as soon as she heard him, then answered him with a similar grin. “Heh. I like the way you are!”
......................
Birds chirping in the trees around. Wheat fields blow wind from south of— where Jourgan and Danny are located. The village in charge of the fields is not so much populated—most of which are just middle-aged men and women and a few small children. They were all on their terraces, monitoring the fields or just having lunch together. A peaceful day, as always.
However, a moment later, they all at the same time, watched it.

‘BWHAAAMMM!!’
White smoke that soared like a giant tree from the beach appeared with a huge explosion, followed by a super strong wind, until it could throw the cliffs of the house, he said, or a hijacker machine that falls to the ground with ease.
No one knows that white smoke is actually water.
“A-what... what just happened?!” the parents panicked, the children immediately felt anxious.
“Kraken!” said one of them, call it Man A. “It's definitely Kraken!”
“What did you say?” ask one of the panicked, Man B.
“Actually...,” Reply Man A, “there was a man who asked about the beach there and I told him about the Kraken, but ....
“dia absolutely did not want to undo her intentions there...”.
The faces there seemed to be resigned immediately, assuming that the Man—Danny— had died from the "Kraken attack" just now.
But what was surprising to them did not stop there.
They were struck by the sudden torrential rain, although the sun still ruled the Earth valiantly— made some of them astonished, raising their heads, then....
Faces of disbelief, wildness, and some even ran away, happening as soon as they looked up at the sky. “Running! Beware of stricken!” scream at those who run.
Not long after....
‘BWOOAMMMM!’
Something big, revealing a lot of dust to make those near him cough.
After waiting for the dust to disappear in time, the small village of wheat farmers was very shocked.
A giant jerked leg, perfectly cut off. The size of those feet alone was ten times their size. It's not strange that the Kraken is feared.
“What is this ... dream..?”
......................
“Huwaahh .. ha ha ha ha ha!” a satisfied laugh was heard from Jourgan. “I've expected, Dan! This Kraken is unlikely to guard his Soul Stone!” he crossed his arms in front of the limp Kraken, as Danny used his magic to stop the bleeding from the cut off Kraken. He was proud of his action.
Not expecting Danny's actions to now try to cure their "prey", Jourgan said, “It's great that you could have two of those colliding traits, huh. I see you have the same hunting spirit as me, but you are also gentle like your sister.”
“Hahahahah.... I take that as a compliment.” Danny's healing.
“Good.” Jourgan stands in front of the Kraken. “I'm sorry for being rude to you, Kraken!”
Silent. No response from the Kraken.
“He... hey!” Jourgan looked at Danny in a panic.
With a wave of his left hand, Danny tried not to get involved.
“O-Oii! Don't avoid mistakes! You're the one who lured him out of the water!”
But all of a sudden....
“Basic! You guys are crazy or what, huh?!”
The voice of the little girl sounded. Both Danny and Jourgan, trying to figure out where the source is.
“Do you people on land do not understand manners when visiting?
“Seenaknya provoke anger, arbitrarily hurt people's pets!”
The sound that was heard getting closer was finally able to be found after the two turned around.
“Eh?” It was Jourgan and Danny now who did not believe what they saw.
“Basic...!
“BASIC!
“Mohh!”
The owner of the voice kept beating Jourgan's leg.
“A-Small Sister...? Bo-can I know who you are..?” tanya Jourgan, who was forced by the situation.
“Small Sister...?!" the owner of the voice went up. “No manners!
“I am the Second Princess of the Underwater Kingdom of Orsfangr!
“And I am this ... a hundred and seventy years old!”
“....”
“....”
It took a while for Jourgan and Danny to process the speech of a long bright pink-haired little girl with some sort of scarf floating around the neck, clam ornaments in the hair, pearl earrings, as well as enough clothes ... unique if it is called from the royal family. He wears a kind of penguin parka that covers the entire body. It may even be a costume.
“Hmph!” The Little Girl wags behind her hair. “While you are rude, I appreciate your apology and awareness that the Kraken is also a living being, and has completely sealed its wound.
“Only from that alone, these eyes can know you are different from other selfless people who forced their way into our kingdom for the sake of the same thing.”
Both were shocked again.
“I don't know if you guys were on purpose or not, but I'll leave the Kraken part of the village. Anyway, tomorrow her legs will grow again as they were.”
Jourgan and Danny are still trying to digest well what has happened.
......................
Finally, after venturing out, Danny tried to say something. “A-anu...”.
“Hm?” The Little Girl raises her head.
“Pardon me if I am presumptuous, we still do not understand too much about the situation, so.... can we negotiate in person first and understand this all in advance, Mr Princess?”
“Umu. Just please.”
Danny pulled Jourgan away from the Little Girl. While they were talking, though realized, The Little Girl did not reflect how the attitude of a man who was a hundred years old. He splashed water with his feet, sometimes also with his hands, then he also played with sand, until finally he ran cheerfully towards the Kraken and hit him slowly with his palm.
“Kak Jour,” whispered Danny, “what are you thinking about what I think?”
“That little girl is really the princess of the kingdom and they are the real guardians?”
Danny nodded.
“But... if they know our destination, why not block us, but instead welcome?”
“Looks like we have no other way.” Danny and Jourgan had decided to approach the Third Princess, but they were made to raise their heads, not thinking about what she was doing.
“Yeahayy! Yeaaayy!”
Sitting on top of the Kraken, the Third Princess of the Underwater Kingdom of Orsfangr, was playing with water cheerfully. “I'm glad you don't feel pain, Gamma!
“Oh? You also think that those two people will be fine?
“I thought we understood each other!
“Ehehehe!”
Without having to be told though, Danny and Jourgan know that the royal princess in front of them can talk to the Kraken even though it looks like they are talking to themselves.
“Entah why...” Danny looked at the scene with a smile and a resigned look. “I feel she is similar to Zeeta.”
“Ya,” reply Jourgan, who stands next to her, “you're right.”
“Mr Putriii..!” Danny waved his hand.
Feeling called, Kraken stopped obeying his employer, the Little Girl turned her head. “Oh? Already done?” he then jumped up the hull, landing gently on the water. “Then tell me. What's your conclusion?”
A moment later the Third Princess did not expect what Jourgan and Danny did. They knelt before him.
“If you already know our purpose here, Your Majesty..” said Danny, “please let us make sure the Soul Stone is.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” added Jourgan, “this mission is very important for the continuity of Galdurheim, so please allow us!”
The Third Princess smiled, then patted their heads.
“My name is Cynthia Arseld Orsfangr.
“Receive and welcome you as my personal guests.
“I'll take you guys make sure that Soul Stone.”
