Part 2, Episode 11: Swim across the sea of stars.

“…Kuck.”

The water drains out.

Riding on the low tide.

He began to return to where he should have been.

As the water disappeared, the being hiding in it appeared.

The white sperm whale is flopping and writhing in pain.

Unlike in the past, the whale that had been defeated by humans was glaring at me while twisting its body violently as if it were angry.

I slowly approached the whale.

I approached the whale and looked down at it.

There was a hole in the shoulder.

His entire body was covered with bruises from hitting the Pequod.

The wounded whale could no longer swim or move.

I instinctively spewed out greed.

I immediately shook my head.

“I don’t deserve it. I deserve it.”

I turned around and looked at the woman who was slowly approaching with her staggering steps.

“…Thank you for waiting.”

Jia Lee.

…No.

Ishmael, who has already become a ghost of the sea, slowly walked with a pequod in his hand.

“Now… It must be over.”

Ishmael muttered as he looked down at Caschalo Blanche.

He lifted the pequod high.

“I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I met you. Blue sperm whale. Cachalot Blanche (French).”

Ishmael closed his eyes for a moment and recalled the past.

“The captain made it his lifelong goal to catch you. But in the end he couldn’t achieve it. ..It’s a pity. Ending your life with my own hands. Now, go to the sea. A whale that has taken many lives. W. But whale that loved justice, but whale that did not do justice. I respect you. I hate you.”

The harpoon is raised higher.

“Your soul will forever travel across the sea of stars over the sea. But even there my brothers will be. Be hunted forever, whale. That is your atonement. There you will regret it. Atonement. I’m sorry. Do it. For the sake of an ordinary, happy family who died because of your arbitrary and impulsive choice. For my brothers who had to die because of your tail.”

The harpoon stops.

“Swim there forever.”

The harpoon slowly falls.

“Suffer forever there.”

The harpoon gains speed.

“Respectable.”

A harpoon rushes towards the whale.

“Hateful whale.”

The harpoon splits the light and falls towards the whale.

“I bless and curse your path.”

Just before the harpoon is thrust into the whale.

Kwaaak.

“…What are you doing?”

I grabbed the falling pequod.

The pequod stopped mid-air.

It began to vibrate at a tremendous speed.

“…Don’t interfere. You who live in the modern world. This is my right and my duty.”

Ishmael’s arm goes into strength.

So I gave more strength to my hands.

“…Ishmael, the ghost of the past.”

Deed deed deed deed deed deed.

The Pequod vibrates like crazy.

“Your revenge is not on this woman. Look straight ahead. Have you forgotten the sailor’s rule?”

At my words, Pequod’s trembling slowly subsided.

“…I see.”

Ishmael slowly turned his head.

“Were you there. My old enemy.”

The being that caught Ishmael’s gaze slowly lifted itself into the air.

“…Long time no see.”

“..Ah. I guess so.”

The blue being that escaped Casshallo Blanche’s body cleared the water surrounding it.

Although pure white.

A black-skinned whale appeared.

“It’s mysterious. How can it exist in that form, Moby-Dick.”

Moby Dick awoke from her long slumber and beheld her nemesis.

“…I don’t know. A long time ago. I was old. The end of time visited me. I fell into a deep sleep from which I would never wake up at the dark bottom of the sea. But some beautiful voice called me. Power I breathed in. Just like that. I woke up looking like this.”

Ishmael was speechless for a moment.

He had sharpened his vengeance blade for a very long time, but when the true object of his revenge came to him, he did not know what to do.

After thinking for a while, Ishmael grabbed the Pequod tightly.

“Do you remember my family you sunk. Moby Dick.”

“…Of course. I’ve never forgotten. The ones who wandered the seas and ruined them.”

Awesome.

Ishmael gritted his teeth.

Ishmael was filled with rage and tried to shout something.

Moby Dick struck first.

“But. I’ve been through the human world for a long time like this. It’s unusual. I do any kind of hard work to survive. I don’t hesitate to destroy nature. Humans haven’t changed. …But. “

F.R.G in the shape of a whale lowered his head.

“But most humans do those things in order to survive. Yes. Even though the reasons are different, they all destroy nature in order to survive. They destroy their own bodies. They live doing so. It’s really strange.”

Ishmael looked at Moby Dick with a blank expression.

“…The human world is no different from the sea. Perhaps the being called me to show me this.”

Moby Dick raised his head.

“But I still have no heart to pity those of you who destroy nature just to survive.”

Ishmael closed his mouth and grabbed the pequod again.

“…We are.”

Ishmael said.

The one who struggled to survive by churning the sea.

I opened my mouth.

“Everyone paddled to survive. Swung with harpoons. Me too. I still have no intention of forgiving you.”

Ishmael has a pequod.

A harpoon.

Your own life.

He raised his second life after devoting his life to revenge.

“..It’s time to break the chain.”

Ishmael smiled momentarily.

“Swim across the sea of stars. My venerable enemy.”

The pequod is being swung.

Dig into the essence of Moby Dick.

“Kyaaa!!!”

Caschalo Blanche screamed in a faint state.

F.R.G disappears.

The magical girl’s contract is about to expire.

Caschalo Blanche.

It is no longer justice.

Also Magical Girl.

No.

“…Huh.”

Ishmael lamented looking at Moby-Dick, who was reconciled and disappearing into star dust, and closed his eyes.

“It’s so simple…That’s why it’s even more futile. Revenge is so futile.”

Puffed up.

Ishmael sat down.

“…Obscue. I have a request.”

Ismael lifted his head and looked up at me.

“..Speak.”

“I am about to perish.”

I opened my eyes wide.

I knew that Ishmael would perish.

In the original work, it was an existence that only appeared briefly in flashbacks.

“…The purpose of vengeance that held me back and bound me is gone. As a ghost of the past, it’s time for me to leave. …So. I have a request for you.”

I nodded.

“Lee Ji-ah. I’ve seen her from birth through her father’s eyes. How small her feet were when she was just born. She looked like she was my daughter.”

Ishmael chuckled and smiled bitterly.

“I want her to make a wiser choice than I do. Revenge is so futile. So… I’ll leave it up to her.”

Ishmael looked up at me.

“This may not be very helpful. Nonetheless, I want to tell you. If you find yourself in the same situation as me, do not be consumed by hatred and vengeance. Just. Be considerate of those around you. Today, More than yesterday. Tomorrow more than today. Before the tragedy of time separates you. Love each other. Caring for each other more. Don’t lose sight of your surroundings with hatred and vengeance. This is what a ghost of the past like me can do. This is my best advice.”

Swoop.

Ishmael finished his speech and put his head back.

“.. I can’t see the stars. It’s a pity. Lee Ji-ah, she liked her stars too.”

“…….”

From noble mtl dot com

Lee Ji-ah, powder is pouring out of Ei’s body.

A vengeful spirit who has lost the meaning of revenge and a ghost from the past is drifting into the starry sea.

“……”

I looked at it for a while and greed radiated from my body.

Soggy greed came out in the form of a dome and wrapped around Ishmael.

A small hole was pierced in the middle of the body of greed that covered the sky, creating a starry sky.

“…Ah. It’s a starry sky.”

Ishmael smiled.

“…Once I died, I didn’t fear death. The purpose of revenge drove me…But. Now.”

Ishmael smiled sadly.

“I’m afraid. I’m so afraid. I finally face the fear that vengeance hid.”

I looked at him for a moment in silence.

And soon he opened his mouth.

“..Do you have anything to say to Lee Ji-ah?”

“No. Damn it. I’m afraid to say goodbye.”

…..

Ishmael loved Lee Ji-ah.

Looking at her as her father.

Take care.

I must have loved you.

“..What do you think love is?”

“What?”

I said to Ishmael.

“Love is to count. To count the white hairs growing on the head of the one you love. To count the wrinkles that are getting more and more engraved on the face of the one you love. Isn’t that what love is?”

I paused for a moment.

Ishmael was staring at me.

” That’s why parting must be so sad. Because you can no longer see the person you love changing. Because there is no one who will look at the changing appearance with a gaze full of love.”

I continued talking.

“That’s why people don’t say goodbye because they’re afraid that the person they see in their eyes will be the last. . Let’s meet again means I won’t forget you. Even if you forget me, I will remember you.”

It may be painful for the person saying goodbye, but it reassures the person receiving it.

That’s why we should say goodbye with a smile on each other.

So saying goodbye is sad but happy, scared but relieved, painful but pleasant.

That’s it.

That’s goodbye.

“…Heh heh. You don’t look like a young man these days.”

Ishmael smiled slightly and closed her eyes.

“…Jia. This must be the first conversation between you and me. I’m sorry to the end. To you, this will be a conversation with the wall. …I’ve been watching you for a very long time. I love you. I’m not your father, but “As someone who has seen you for a long time. I cherish you. Move forward with strength and cheerfulness. The path you are taking is the right one. It is the right path. Do not hesitate. Move forward.”

After speaking, Ishmael looked at me and said.

“A sailor’s farewell shouldn’t be long. Now… It’s over.”

Ishmael looked up at the sky.

“…Today is also sunny. The starry sky.”

I cautiously approached and stood in front of him.

“…Don’t worry. Swim to her sea of stars without her fear. Ishmael. Her last survivor. You have defended her well.”

“…Thank you.”

Ishmael closed his eyes.

He is powdered.

Far away.

I swam to the sea of stars in the sky above the sea.

Maybe the sea of stars tonight.

It will shine exceptionally more.
