Chapter 269. How to solve an acute body (1)
An acute body.
Everyone must have suffered from acute body weight at least once in their life.
at a completely unexpected moment.
really without any notice.
A terrible experience of sudden stomach discomfort.
An experience that knocks on the back and makes you do all sorts of weird things.
It was the same with Lloyd.
‘It was during a high school field trip, damn it.’
I still shudder when I think of what happened back then.
It must have been the evening of the first day of the exciting field trip.
I was trying to eat well and play with my friends, but I was starting to feel uncomfortable.
At first, I just thought it was a little odd.
But the situation got increasingly serious.
I thought my stomach was rumbling, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Friends made fun of him without even noticing that he had become terribly pale.
I thought this was a bit off.
I felt I had to do something.
More than anything, I wanted to burp.
‘So it was. I found carbonic acid first.’
It is said that drinking carbonated beverages is not good because they have an acute body condition.
On the contrary, it may make the symptoms worse.
But I didn’t know that at the time.
I just wanted to have a cool, carbonated one-shot.
It seemed that if I fired a good shot of the nuclear trim, the clogged stomach would go down.
Just then, I found cider in my friend’s bag.
He hurriedly opened a 500mL plastic bottle of cider and took several large sips.
and exhaled
‘That was soju.’
Literally soju disguised as cider.
It was soju that my friend smuggled (?) in a cider bottle without the teacher’s knowledge.
By the time I realized that, it was already too late.
I spewed it out in fright, but it was after I froze and drank a couple of sips.
Two more sips of soju in case of sudden illness.
It was even the first drink in my life.
It was from then.
I had to enjoy the feeling of having a nuclear bomb dropped on my stomach.
Almost halfway through, I had to quack and vomit all night.
It was the memory of the first day of the school trip, when I still think of it.
Fortunately, however, the rumination of those memories did not last long.
It was thanks to the question that flew between memories at the right time.
“So the Kraken is doing that because of an urgent body?”
A question that pierces the eardrum.
At that sound, Lloyd quickly escaped from his thoughts.
I turned to the direction the question had come from.
There was a mermaid queen.
Wrinkles between the eyebrows.
He was looking at me with serious and absurd eyes.
“Ah yes.”
Shaking my head, I remembered what had happened just before.
The raging Kraken.
The mermaid army was preparing to subdue it by force.
He was worried that the foundation of the jewel would be destroyed in the collision between the two.
Then I realized something strange about the Kraken.
The appearance of gagging and burping.
Even hitting the stomach with his arm.
It seemed like the behavior of a person who came to an acute body without fail.
It was from the moment I realized that.
I’ve been swimming all the way here mindlessly.
I shouted to the queen who was about to give the order to the mermaid army to charge.
Please wait a moment.
You can’t attack the Kraken now.
Maybe the Kraken is in trouble.
So, rather than rushing into a collision, we should find another solution.
Did you hurriedly stop the mermaid queen?
Thanks to this, I was able to temporarily stop the mermaid army’s assault.
And now, the mermaid queen was asking me a question with a serious look.
“It’s urgent. That means indigestion. Is that true?”
“It seems so.”
“What is the basis for such a claim?”
“Since before, while the Kraken was roaring, I was burping. I was also often seen gagging. Besides, twisting your body like that and tapping my belly with your leg, and then burping again, doesn’t it sound like someone who is in a hurry?”
“Hmm, I don’t know. We didn’t get an acute body.”
The mermaid queen twitched her left and right pectoralis major muscles alternately.
“Isn’t it okay to go down with muscle power, such as indigestion?”
“Your stomach is an involuntary muscle that cannot move as you wish.”
“doesn’t care. You just have to press down on your stomach with the pressure of your abdominal muscles.”
“….”
Lloyd was at a loss for words.
‘Then they say that the brain can also be moved with the scalp muscles.’
Of course, I couldn’t get those words out of my mouth.
Do you think it will fit one?
Rather than that, it was because I was anxious (?) that an answer that would bubble up might come back confidently if anatomists heard that it was really possible.
Lloyd shook his head to shake off his embarrassment.
“No, no, whatever. In my opinion, that’s right. The Queen may not know it, but land humans like me often get into such a sudden illness.”
“That means, from the perspective of a person with experience, the urgent body is right, right?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm. is it.”
Fortunately, the queen was dubious, but listened to the opinion of this side.
You must not miss this moment.
Doubt will quickly turn into doubt.
Lloyd, who intuited such a sign, spoke quickly.
“Yes, so it would be good to check first.”
“check?”
“yes. After confirmation, we will be able to respond.”
“How do I check that? Do you have any ideas?”
“there is.”
He nodded vigorously.
Of course there is.
A thought I had in mind from the time I hurriedly swam to stop the queen’s order to charge.
Lloyd put it into his mouth.
“Do you have any food or snacks that Kraken likes?”
“Um, there is. Why?”
“Give it to me and you will be able to confirm it.”
“how?”
“If you don’t have an acute illness, you’ll still only react violently to the treats the queen offers you.”
“What if the urgent body is right?”
The queen’s eyes hardened.
Lloyd replied confidently.
“At first, I will stop struggling and show interest. As usual. Then they’ll soon vomit and turn away from snacks or go on a rampage again.”
“Then the key is the difference between going wild right away or showing interest and then going wild. Am I right?”
“Yes, that is an accurate summary.”
“good. Then try it.”
“Do you think the Queen will try the experiment herself?”
“of course.”
The Queen looked down with a relaxed smile typical of a strong person.
“Who would have the easiest access to a Kraken that struggles so wildly? it’s me. I am the one who can swim the fastest in this sea and the one who can maintain the dolphin kick without being swept away by any current. Besides, who can survive best when being beaten by the Kraken’s struggle? Of course he is me too.”
The queen slapped her pectoral muscles as if it were natural.
“But should I send another mermaid who is weaker and more corrupt than me? my weak people? nonsense. I have to do more for this kind of thing. That is the responsibility and duty of the one who occupies the throne.”
“Ah yes.”
“Or were you thinking of experimenting with it?”
“no.”
I shook my head at the speed of light.
Fortunately (?) I wonder if I really didn’t intend to send it this way.
The queen just laughed.
She pulled something out of her pocket between the scales.
It was a light green shiny orb.
“What is it?”
I asked out of curiosity.
The queen replied as if it was nothing.
“Marine Diamond.”
“Is this your first time hearing it?”
“It is a special jewel that is made by holding an ordinary diamond tightly for ten days under the water pressure of the deepest water with all the strength of the whole body. I only make a few eggs a year. I had to put in a lot of effort.”
“Then it would be very expensive.”
“that’s right. It is probably one of the most expensive jewels in the world. That’s why Kraken likes it so much.”
“….”
Couldn’t I be your sister’s Kraken instead of that octopus head over there?
I almost would have said that.
As much as that, Marine Diamond showed off its brilliant appearance.
But that’s for a while.
“Then let’s check it out. All troops! atmosphere!”
The queen holding the diamond swam towards the kraken.
The Kraken was still struggling with tremendous momentum.
“….”
Do you have a lot of pain?
Is it very uncomfortable?
Did I really get sick inside, as the land man said?
The Queen felt sorry for the Kraken.
‘If that land person is right, then I, who has been with you all my life, will be more like I can’t understand your feelings better than that person.’
because we were always together
so used to it
Maybe he was conceited that he knew everything about the Kraken.
Could it be that he overlooked the Kraken’s suffering that others could recognize?
Maybe that’s why he tried to subdue his precious friend by force by charging the legion.
The queen swam away with a penitent heart.
“Creeper-!”
Did you notice this approach?
The Kraken cried even more sorrowfully.
At that moment, the queen met Kraken’s gaze.
I could feel it thanks to you.
‘I’m sorry.’
The gaze the Kraken had just sent this way.
It was an expression of regret, not knowing what to do.
At the same time, on the other hand, his eyes were tired of pain and panicked.
‘Are those land humans really right?’
The queen moved closer to the kraken, biting her lower lip.
He held out his hand cautiously.
A marine diamond lay on her palm.
“Kraken? do you want to eat this? It’s your favorite snack.”
thump thump!
Please, may the land man be right.
I hope the Kraken will respond as the human said.
The mermaid queen wished and hoped in her heart.
and after a while
Kraken’s struggle stopped.
“Krung? Sniff sniff!”
He stopped his violent shaking.
I put my head this way.
I smelled it with interest.
But the next moment.
“Krung! crawler…Oh love! Krung!”
He vomited violently.
He even spit out a little.
As a bonus, he even started struggling.
Whoa!
Since it was so large, it only struggled slightly, but the range of motion was enormous.
“…!”
The queen narrowly avoided the Kraken’s legs.
He got out of the spot with a fierce dolphin kick.
I was finally able to be sure.
‘Ha really…That land man was right.’
Even when I went to check it out, I was dubious in my heart.
When I checked it, it turned out as the man said.
The Kraken was initially interested, then retched.
While belching, he even spat out his stomach.
The confirmation brought relief to the queen’s heart.
‘thank god. It wasn’t a fuss or struggle for no reason.’
How embarrassing it was at first.
He had been a calm and gentle Kraken all his life.
Throughout the history of the Mermaid Kingdom, there has never been a time when there has been a riot like today.
Then, how embarrassing was the current situation that suddenly arose.
Have you checked it out?
It really was the cause.
I was so happy.
Because I finally figured out the cause of the situation.
It wasn’t too hard anymore.
I was able to let go of my embarrassment.
I thought I would be able to come up with a solution that fits the cause.
Then, there was a glimpse of hope that this unprecedented situation could be safely resolved.
‘but….’
The Mermaid Queen swims furiously away from the Kraken.
There was sadness in her eyes.
‘I’m sorry, friend.’
I did not know the pain of my friend.
I didn’t know that, and I was just confused.
He almost overpowered his friend by force.
As such, the guilt of ignoring her friend’s pain and difficulties gripped her heart.
On the one hand, I also had a firm commitment.
I will never hurt the Kraken again.
I will embrace and cover any pain that friend goes through.
For that purpose, I will not care about any difficulties and difficulties.
I will kick out the pain of a precious friend by any means.
‘certainly.’
The muscular queen let down dewy tears between her fierce swimming and the current.
I tried to hide my slightly red eyes and came back.
asked Lloyd.
“You must have seen the Kraken reaction here too, right?”
“Yes, of course.”
Lloyd nodded.
The queen felt more confident than ever.
In fact, I thought he was a land man who was as corrupt as an anchovy.
So, deep down, I wondered how to live in the world with a body like that.
Looking back now, I couldn’t help but feel so confident.
The confident smile of that land man.
Even the confident eyes looking at this side.
It was a more believable look.
“If so, is there a way to solve the sudden death that is the cause of this situation that you guessed?”
“of course.”
The answer that comes right away as if you’ve been waiting for it.
A satisfied smile crept across the queen’s lips.
I thought that land man really had a plan.
So now it’s over.
that you won’t have to worry anymore.
He said that he could alleviate the pain of his precious friend Kraken.
In the future, nothing will ever hurt a friend.
I was relieved and confident in my heart.
That moment.
Lloyd’s calm reply came back.
“As expected, in the case of sudden death, I just mercilessly poke the tip of my finger! Is it best to pluck it and drain the black blood?”
