Chapter 217: Sorry, Please Let Me Go!

The sky was azure, with petals falling down.

The blue sky seemed to soak up the petals, turning the black willow-shaped petals into deep purple.

The petals fragmented by the sunlight cast mottled shadows on the beach.

Emilia looked up at the sky, her eyes still empty, but she frowned slightly and gripped her long sword tightly.

Suyu, who was next to her, turned into a black smoke at that moment, along with the little girl who was watching the battle, disappearing without a trace.

The sounds of seagulls and waves became silent at that moment.

The deep blue sea with white waves began to glow with a strange blue-purple halo, and the sudden appearance of the dawn light made it look surreal.

Emilia’s eyes widened as she watched this dazzling but dangerous scene.

This was not the first time she had seen such a scene.

In her hometown, such eerie scenes would appear every year on the first day of autumn.

That was also… the beginning of her dislike for fish.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

As expected, the extremely unpleasant sound came as promised, and the previously silent sea suddenly began to surge again.

Along with the increasingly high waves, those guys surged onto the shore together…

Emilia stood still, wanting to turn around and leave.

However, her legs felt like they were filled with lead today, and she couldn’t move them no matter how hard she tried. It also felt a bit unreal.

"Ahahahaha! Hee hee hee!"

A strange laughter sounded, a small, creepy puppet with a wide smile stood on a rock.

The smile was full of smugness and malice.

"Let me see! Strange woman, what is your fear all about! Hahaha!"

Emilia couldn’t care less about her, she tried hard, but that unnatural feeling lingered, and her legs remained immobile.

Helpless, she had to draw out her long sword, holding it with both hands as she gazed at the distant sea waves.

There was no choice, even though those fish… smelled fishy, slippery and slimy, and disgustingly sticky, she did not want any close contact.

But now, she had to protect herself.

It was fortunate that she had Rin, facing these things now, her courage doubled.

Hmm, wait a minute?

Rin… a tsundere?

I have a child with a tsundere… When did that happen?

How strange…

"Hahaha, you foolish human woman, are you scared stupid?"

The puppet stood with a hunched back, its bright red eyes full of excitement.

It seemed like this could make up for losing to that woman just now.

Excitedly waiting for the appearance of something that humans fear, the puppet suddenly noticed its shadow being swallowed by a larger shadow.

At the same time, something huge and dark was approaching closer and closer.

A foul smell, like rotten fish and shrimp that had been left out for days, filled the air.

Her face changed, she turned her head and was stunned in place.

It was a… not… um, a fish the size of a whale.

This fish had one two three four… six thick legs, a large head, but a thinner tail.

The fish looked so strange, giving off a very unpleasant feeling, especially with its slimy skin.

At that moment, the strange fish with four rows of eyes was curiously staring at the puppet.

"What on earth is this!"

The puppet let out a sharp scream when she saw the fish opening its mouth, emitting what seemed like disgusting green smoke, and hurriedly jumped down from the rocky hill.

After jumping down, she realized that besides the strange fish, there were also fish with four legs running around the beach.

They could be roughly divided into three types.

One type was basketball-sized fish, rounded like pufferfish but with very slender limbs.

Their bloated bodies occasionally contracted, releasing yellow-green gas.

The stench…was equally nauseating.

There was another type resembling flounders, with legs similar to frogs’ legs, hopping around as they moved.

The key is the eyes of the fish, they are not the same size, making people feel uncomfortable just by looking.

Finally, there was a large fish with a shark head and an eel body, walking while swinging its tail. The sand scratched by the tail looked sticky and greenish.

"Oh no! So disgusting! What on earth are these things?"

The scared doll, kicked the ground a few times and then ran away to escape.

Then those fish… they looked as if they found some new interesting toys, getting excited one by one.

Making strange squeaking sounds, the four-legged fish excitedly chased after the puppet, stumbling around.

Suddenly, half of the four-legged fish on the beach were taken away with a swish.

The largest fish with six legs just watched quietly, like an elder watching children play.

"Me… and Rin?"

Emilia shook her head, still a little confused about the current situation.

People in dreams are naturally fuzzy, even if they can think, most of their abilities are reduced.

So, Waste Hero at this moment is still a bit confused, not realizing directly that she is dreaming.

She knew that the huge creature in the sea was waiting for an offering.

However, at the moment, she didn’t have anything to offer and didn’t want to get close to it.

But that strange puppet, why does it look familiar?

Emilia curiously kept her eyes on the puppet running around.

These fish actually have an instinctive reaction to chase small moving things, especially children.

Just like it is now.

Also, not only did it chase…luckily, only one was chasing her back then, and luckily she was saved.

The puppet with its stiff little legs couldn’t run faster than the four-legged animal, and soon tripped over.

Then she turned around with a terrified look on her face, watching as a fish-like creature panted heavily with its tongue out, approaching her.

Then, the drool dripped onto her face.

This is a dream, where dreamers won’t have any sense of touch or smell.

But as a doll cursed with the ability to enter dreams and nightmares, it had extraordinary senses.

These senses allowed her to taste the sweetness of fear in dreams as if it were a delicacy, and also experience senses similar to reality in dreams.

Therefore, she was now both afraid and disgusted.

These fish, like excited dogs seeing a child, all rushed towards her, lightly biting her clothes or licking her face.

"Yuck, yuck, so gross! Help! Save me!"

"Eww! It stinks! Let go of me!"

"Sob, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Save me, I won’t dare again!"

The puppet cried for help, the screams overpowering even the chirping of the fish.

"This is a nightmare! Please wake up soon!"
