Chapter 70

This snake clearly mentioned a lake.

Is this a metaphor? It means it needs as much water as a lake, right?

Surely it can't mean as much water as a real lake...

Seeing the snake's eyes start to close, I became anxious.

"Master! Can you possibly create a lake?"

Even though I thought it was impossible, I wondered if Dad could do it.

‘When I was around, I definitely... parted the sea.’

Although I had never created as much water as a lake, I knew all too well the potential power of water.

"A lake, it would depend on where and how big it is."

"…Really? No, that's not it. Even a minimum amount would be fine. How long do you think it will take?"

Even in that short moment of waiting for Dad's answer, I felt a sense of restlessness and unease.

"It's not near the sea, so it will take some time. We'll have to soak the soil with water and dig a pit first."

"Then what about pouring it like a waterfall?"

"That would also take time to generate the water. Do you think that snake can hold on?"

That's true. I've also created a large amount of water, like rain during a drought, but it took quite a bit of time.

‘If Dad can't do it, there’s no way Belus can.’

What should I do?

Then, my gaze accidentally fell on the carriage.

"…Master, there's a forest nearby, right? So there might be a lake?"

"There might be, but we can't fly to see, so it will be hard to find quickly."

"No, there's a way to find it quickly."

Soon, the maids and Misa were called from the carriage.

It seemed they were preparing for bed, as Eiya and Misa were holding my nightgown and blanket.

I approached Misa.

"Misa, can you find a water source? Yes, you can, right? It's urgent now."

"Um? Lady, what are you suddenly talking about…?"

"Please. I'm asking you for a favor."

I recalled the day Misa first appeared where I lived.

Subha clearly said this:

"Oh, Captain, we have someone in our unit who is particularly good at finding water sources. Her name is 'Misa.' She's an incomplete water spirit, but she finds them incredibly well."
