CHAPTER 172: LAKE ENCOUNTERChapter 171: Demonstrating Functions of Remembered Technology
I had learned how to breathe underwater and wanted to go under the surface of the lake .
「I want to practice underwater breathing a bit . 」
「Yes, go ahead . I will be on standby just in case . 」
「Then, I will support you, too . 」
I was thankful for the Dragon Kings’ support . With the lecture from the two of them I decided to give this a shot .
「M’kay, 《Coating》」
After wrapping the magical layer around my body and moved to the center of the lake, placing my face underwater .
I checked that I could breathe, then…
「Ok…!」
I started swimming for the bottom of the lake .
As I swam I realized that Coating also worked like goggles . It allowed me to swim without closing my eyes .
「n, good progress . 」
I got the stamp of approval from Hesty who was following me . But,
「But, you can breathe, you know?」
「Oh yeah . I can… . 」
I had unintentionally held my breath from habit .
The need to hold my breath underwater was ingrained in my mind .
If I had experience with diving then it might be different though .
「I wonder if I’ll ever get used to this . 」
I said looking around at the water all around me .
「Well, coating is, that kind of magic……actually I’m, realizing again how strong and stable, your coating is . It can even, push the water aside, it’s surprising . 」
Looking at Hesty, her coating was more like a membrane while mine leaned towards being thick . Well, either way we were both able to breathe and move .
I thought and looked upwards .
「Ooohhh, this is pretty amazing . 」
I could see straight through the crystal clear water . The sunlight filtered through the shimmering liquid and I could see Sakura and Manaril swimming around .
Seeing everything from the bottom was a different type of experience . It was really interesting .
「Certainly doing this in a deep lake with fish and various things around would be good . 」
「n, you can, probably do that, in the Fort City’s lake . 」
Is that so? In that case then I should get more used to breathing underwater, then when another hot day comes around I might go take a look at that lake .
……… . well at that time I might invite some other people .
Going alone would be a little lonely for a long awaited recreation . Going with several people would be good .
I thought and started to want to rise back to the surface, when…
—gogo—
I saw a small hole appear in the bottom of the lake .
「Huh? What’s that?」
「… . . a small, magical reaction? This is………」
That hole got larger and larger until I saw a person’s hand appear . Then a face popped out…
「Pu, puwa! F-finally we got out, but there’s more water . —Eh? Daichi-oniisan!? Wh-why are you here!?」
Athena appeared with only her head covered in Coating . Furthermore,
「If you wish, then it comes true…… . 」
Karen followed with a happy and vigorous look in her eyes .
I didn’t know why the two of them were dirty and popping out of a hole in the lake but,
「…… . for now, why don’t we go up?」
「Ah, yes . Ok Daichi-oniisan . 」
My underwater breathing training was done for now . We rose to the surface to talk calmly .
