"You weren't joking when you called him a crazy bastard."

Kim started to think as he watched this lunatic continue to fight.

'Everybody is going to come here at this rate.'

Kim thought that people probably already knew something was going on. What could he do about it? What could he do to slip away quietly? Kim didn't care whether the two of them fought or not.

It was at that moment.

"Noona! If you keep fighting, that generous man will get hurt!"

The tiny whale finally arrived at the island.

Toonka instantly flinched.

"... The puny whale is talking?"

That comment made the humpback whale start to frown and glare at Toonka. A beautiful voice then followed it.

"You called my little brother puny?"

Toonka became even more shocked as he shouted.

"This one can talk as well?"

It was a total mess. Kim could see Toonka's shoulders moving up and down in excitement.

"Oho, you must be beast people! These people! This is going to be fun!"

Toonka was no longer laughing out loud. However, the smile on his face showed that he was at the maximum level of excitement.

At that moment, Kim could see that the humpback whale glanced over in their direction. He then saw that the whale's eyes started to shake.

Kim, the human who was crouched on the ground, covered in seawater and boulder dust while looking up at Witira, the humpback whale beast person. Cale looked a little less worse for wear but was covered in seawater and boulder dust as well.

Her heart started to shake as the guardian of the ocean who protects weak creatures, fortunately, it seemed as though his stronger brother was helping him.

Paseton jumped in between the two of them and started to speak.

"Noona, I am still alive."

"Paseton."

The humpback whale started to scrunch her face. Her eyes started to tear up.

Paseton looked toward Toonka before quickly moving his fin out of the water and pointing it toward Kim.

Splash. Splash.

The water splashed along with Paseton's movement, and the water droplets hit Kim's face.

"This sir is the person who saved me when I was dying from mermaid's poison."

The large humpback whale's pupils shook. The small whale got as close to the island as possible and checked on the twins.

"Oh no, you are both completely drenched. I'm so sorry about all the boulder. I was going to visit you tonight to thank you."

Kim brushed the boulder dust off and responded.

"That's fine. Are you better now?"

Cale brushed the boulder dust off as well and stood up.

"Yes sir. I am almost fully recovered now. Thanks to you."

The anxious humpback whale's mouth dropped a bit. It was at that moment.

"You can't get distracted when you are fighting against me! Do you want to die?!"

Toonka jumped up toward the humpback whale beast person, Witira, and swung his fist. However, his fist could not touch the humpback whale. It was because the whale disappeared.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Water vapour filled the area where the humpback whale used to be. A woman stepped onto the land from inside the water vapor.

Tap. Tap.

The woman who stepped forward with her heels clicking was Witira in her human form.

"Noona!"

Paseton called out to Witira.

Kim was a bit surprised at that moment.

'This is not just at the level of making elves look like squids!'

'Sure, but I'm pretty sure you still think the Crown Prince is about at her level.'

Kim shrugged, not disagreeing.

Witira was what you would call an explosive beauty. She was so extremely beautiful that she would make even look like cockroaches. It was to the point that Kim wondered how someone could be so beautiful.

Blue hair and blue eyes. If there was a contest for the most beautiful existence in the ocean, it would be the person in front of Kim's eyes right now.

'Sure in the ocean but honestly, honestly I think you're prettier.'

Kim became flustered and embarrassed by Cale's retort. Fortunately, or unfortunately, this only showed through his ears becoming slightly redder. Though he had a scowl on his face glaring at him.

Cale was doing his best to hold back his laughter.

Raon started to speak into Kim's head at that moment.

-... Dragons are even cooler. When a dragon becomes a human, I'm sure they are even more handsome and more beautiful. The human form of the dragons is probably the best in the world on the level of a demigod like funny uncle and demi-human.

Kim wasn't sure whether he should be flattered or concerned by Raon's words, but decided to completely ignore him and stepped backward. Forget, beautiful and handsome, the humanized whale beast people were still just as strong and violent. Witira started to speak as Kim was starting to worry.

"... Please do not run away. I will not hurt you."

"My sister is someone who keeps her word."

Paseton soon transformed and approached the twins as well. Witira could see that Paseton's pants were ripped around his calves, and could see the scars underneath. Anger filled her eyes once again.

Cale approached Paseton not at all scared like Kim was.

"We don't doubt your words. It's just that my brother over here is a bit extra cautious around strong people. He doesn't have the strongest body so he likes keeping his distance."

Cale looked back toward Kim who gave him the most stoic expression one could imagine.

"Don't give me that look you know I'm right, now come on. I'll protect you if it comes down to it."

Cale as he put his hand to his rapier.

Toonka slowly walked over as well.

"Stop paying attention to such a useless person. Hurry up and fight me. That's more fun!"

The twins made eye contact with Toonka at that moment. Toonka was about to scoff at Kim, but immediately closed his mouth feeling an overpowering presence suppress him from their direction, he turned his gaze to Cale who seemed decently strong, but the presence was coming from both these nobles including the very weak-looking one. He quickly shook off the feeling as the presence disappeared.

"Looks like this punk just goes around saving people."

Tsk. Kim clicked his tongue at the term, 'punk' as both twins had quickly suppressed their aura. even the whales seemed slightly stunned, having felt their aura which came out unconsciously. Toonka seems to have thrown away the stupid alias of, 'Bob,' at this point. This was the real Toonka. Regardless of whether the opponent was a noble or a strong person, he just acted as he pleased.

Kim was more used to this version of Toonka. It was because it seemed like the character in the novel had come to life. Of course, Kim still had no intentions of letting this just pass by.

'He'll only learn after regretting the sale of the magic tower to me in the future.'

Kim was confident because he knew about what would soon happen, no, what Kim would personally make happen in the future.

'I'm seriously unsure which one of us is more petty, because so far you seem to be winning.'

Kim ignored him as usual.

The alias of Bob. This was actually a great name for an alias. It was because he would be rice for Kim to take in the future.

'Huh? How does that make sense?'

'My original language's word for rice sounds very similar to Bob.'

'Oh! That makes more sense.'

However, Raon started to speak into Kim's mind in anger.

-To rescue someone or to save someone is a glorious deed! It is something to be proud about. And talking bad about someone is mean. This punk is as bad as Venion!

... How did Raon end up like this when dragons were supposed to be creatures that only care about themselves! Kim started to think about what could have made Raon from the normal attitude of a dragon. He then slowly moved his body behind Witira and his brother. He was a bit afraid that Toonka might kill him for being an annoying and weak person.

"... Do not look down on such heroic actions. Would you allow me to take this?"

Witira turned to Cale and asked.

"Of course, he insulted your brother first, besides, he attacked you."

Cale stepped back allowing Witira to take care of Toonka. In reality, he knew his fighting style wouldn't be suited to fight against someone who is built different like Toonka. Considering his fighting style it would take too long to take down Toonka, even if he can beat him.

'I can see your point.'

Kim look to his brother with a look of understanding. As Cale stepped back, both twins looked toward Witira. It was clear from her earlier words that she was angry. This made both of them step back again. Witira noticed their actions and calmly started to speak.

"Thank you very much. I will properly thank you in the future."

However, anger was still burning in her eyes. This was the woman who was at the vanguard in the fight against the mermaids. She was not the type to avoid a battle nor even a small provocation.

"Oh, I like the look in your eyes. Are you finally ready to fight?"

Toonka started to twitch and lick his lips. He then relaxed his arms and moved his weight toward his front foot. This was Toonka's battle position.

Witira started to smile.

"You think I would battle with someone like you?"

That was a mocking smile.

She then created a ball of light that seemed to be quite powerful.

Witira open her right hand.

Splash.

Pillars of water shot up into her palm and a long water. Whip appeared into her hand. She flicked her whip toward the ocean.

This whip, that seem to be at least a couple of meters in length, cut through the water and caused the water to riot. Witira started stared at Toonka with a chilly gaze as she started to speak.

"Funny. This is not a battle."

She flicked her finger at Tonka as she continued.

"This is a lesson."

"You are going to teach me? Hahahaha!"

Toonka let out loud laughter that seemed strong enough to cause an earthquake and looked toward Witira with an emotionless face.

"I guess I'll need to that mouth of yours off."

He then immediately rushed toward Witira. Once Toonka started to rush toward her, Witira waved her left hand toward a water shield, and surrounded the twins and Paseton in order to protect them.

Flick!

At the same time, the whip in her right hand viciously shot toward Tonka.

Boom!

Toonka's fist made contact with the whip. Witira started to smile.

"At least it'll be fun to teach you a lesson."

"Ugh, this is nothing!"

Witira moved her with to wrap around Toonka's body like a snake and lifted him up into the air. Toonka started to smile as he grabbed onto the water whip with his hands.

"Muahaha, battle of strength is my specialty!"

Toonka broke apart the snake-like whip with his hands. This caused Witira to raise an eyebrow. However, Toonka was still no match for this future Queen of the Whales.

Witira lightly flicked her right hand, and the whip quickly attacked Tonka's body.

The impact made Toonka fly toward the forest.

At that moment.

"... What is going on?"

The twins had sensed them coming. Amiru Ubarr, the investigation squad, and the knights appeared in the forest. Toonka was flying towards them.

Witira's eyes grew wide as she urgently shot out a strand of water with her left hand. However, Toonka was moving too fast.

"Everybody, open up your shields!"

Amiru determined that it would be impossible to dodge, and immediately ordered the knights to defend. The night quickly opened up their shields. Toonka saw what they were doing and shouted towards them.

"Defend properly! My body is very strong, so you may get hurt! Muahahahaha!"

It seemed probable that the nights would get hurt from this collision because they were wearing leather armor. The mixed-blood beast person Paseton was watching all of this when he heard a sigh coming from behind him.

"Sigh, so annoying."

The voice seemed to be annoyed and calm at the same time. Paseton's eyes opened wide as he turned toward the voice.

Boom!

Toonka crashed into the shields. However, Toonka did not crash into anybody and nobody got hurt. Toonka turned around to see that a holy-looking silver shield had made contact with his back. There were also wings that gently surrounded him.

"... What the..."

The shield slowly turned transparent before disappearing. Witira's strand of water that was coming to create a shield disappeared into the air. She turned around with shock.

The disappearing silver shield was connected to that man who had his head down as he let out another sigh.

"Sigh."

Looked calm as he brushed back his drenched hair. However, he was frowning with frustration.

Instead of a shrimp getting hurt in a fight between whales, the shrimp had to use its powers during the fight.

Kim felt all the gazes focus on him, and slowly got up.

He was cheering Witira on after watching her send Toonka flying, but he urgently let out his shield because he did not want the knights to get hurt.

Because of that, the inside of the shield was created toward Kim instead of the knight. Thankfully, the knights did not get hurt, but he had just ended up unintentionally saving Toonka.

Kim seemed calm as he stood up, but his legs were numb from crouching for too long. Cale helped him up so as not to create another misunderstanding.

Kim frown as he stood up. Cale prevented him from stumbling because his left leg was numb.

"You seriously need to exercise."

That remark only made him have a bigger frown on his face.

"Young Master Kim!"

Amiru rushed over with a shocked expression. Paseton, who was also shocked, looked over to them making sure Kim was all right. Kim waved Paseton away as he stood up straight letting go of Cale. Amiru had an urgent expression as she rushed over to Kim.

"Young Master Kim! You didn't need to use your strength! Why did you do it?"

Why? It wasn't like Kim wanted to do it.

But it would make things complicated if the investigation squad was injured. Thanks to Kim, it was just a small issue, but if Toonka had heard the nights of the territory, things would get much bigger. Kim could not let that happen because Toonka had to return to the Whipper Kingdom at the right time.

'Otherwise, I would lose out.'

Amiru inspected Kim with concern and disappointment.

"And why are you both completely drenched like this? Are you both OK? You are in recovery right now, what will you do if you catch a cold?! Young Master, Kim! You really!"

Amiru's words made Paseton and Witira flinch. This was especially true for Witira, down on her lips and inspected Kim as well. She recalled how her tail had drenched the twins earlier, and thought about the expression on Kim's face when he looked up while crouching earlier.

At that moment, Kim started to speak to the three of them. His voice was slow slow and seemed to be very tired.

"Isn't it since nobody got hurt?"

His voice lacked any worse, as if he was frustrated. He definitely was frustrated. His drenched clothes did not feel comfortable, and he wanted to get away from these troublemakers and get some rest now. Cale was in a similar boat, having become tired simply by watching his brother not to mention he was drenched as well.

Paseton lowered his head while Witira looked around. She could see the shoreline that she had destroyed just a few moments ago, and bid down on her lips once again. Amiru hesitated for a moment before starting to speak.

"... Young Master Kim, it is really difficult to understand you. Very difficult."

"Don't worry, young lady Amiru. I completely agree with you, but I at least have a little bit of a better understanding of what goes on in my brother's head."

'Since I can literally read your mind, but honestly, even that sometimes doesn't help you have the tendency of contradicting your own thoughts sometimes.'

Kim just shut up after seeing that a similar situation to the Plaza incident was about to happen again. Everything was annoying, especially his brother.

Amiru turned away from the twins and looked towards the two whale tribe members. Her gaze toward them was calm, yet angry.

"And who are you?"

This was part of the Roan Kingdom, But this was her family's territory. Amiru had no intentions of letting such an incident that happened in the Ubarr territory go.

"And Bob."

Amiru glared sharply at Toonka, who was blankly standing off to the side.

"Who are you?"

None of the three answered Amiru's question. Toonka seemed to be worried about something, while Paseton was thinking about what to say. As for Witira, she could only lower her head after seeing what she had done.

At that moment, Amiru heard a noise.

"Achoo!"

Kim's nose was itchy and made him sneeze. He pushed back the hair that fell on his face before looking up. He didn't care about anything in front of his eyes and ignored all of the gazes that were focused on him before speaking normally.

"Let's go back first."

Nobody could say no to him.
