CHAPTER 43 โ LEVIATHAN
What appeared looks like a multi-floor building or a tower...... No, is Leviathan a dragon?
โโHa, just by being there, I feel its overpowering intimidation . Itโs clearly a superior existence . ๐ป๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธ๐๐ฎ
...... Will it attack... us?
As expected, I wouldnโt want to get attacked by an S-rank monster .
Allen and Elena are not preparing to fight, so itโs probably not hostile .
However, the two are clinging to me as if they have understood something .
ใFumu . I thought I sensed a different presence, so it was the Wind God-samaโs retainer......ใ
ใWha!?ใ
I, it spoke!?
Moreover, it felt like it was talking directly in my head, rather than hearing with my ears .
Also, how did I get exposed!?
ใWhat are you surprised about? I can use appraisal . You can use it too, right?ใ
ใIya...... I certainly can, but most of it wasnโt visibleใ
I see . This Leviathan has an appraisal...... so it even took a look at my status .
ใFumu . How about now? Try looking one more timeใ
As told, I use appraisal again .

Are? There are some things here and there that I canโt see, but I can see a lot more than a little while ago......
First, what is this about the Water Godโs retainer? Syl~ Havenโt you told me that there are no other retainers on the surface beside me~
Over 800 years old...... astonishing......
I think itโs a male if I go by the sound of its voice, but I should not be assuming that .
And above all, the level! Its level has three digits!
The strongest individuals among humans should be around 50~60 level . And yet, the Leviathan is level 123...... Double the level .
And the conversation can be held thanks to theใTelepathyใskill?
How convenient . If I had this, I could probably talk to Joule and others .
...... Conqueror of the seas . Thereโs nothing I can say about that......
The hell is this status...... itโs dangerous .
ใHow is it?ใ
ใ...... Itโs not all, but I can see it now . But, how?ใ
ใThatโs because I loosened the magical power coat my body was wrapped inใ
ใMagical power coat?ใ
ใUmu . Living creatures unconsciously cover their bodies in magical power . They do it, no matter how weak they are . And the coat becomes thicker with the amount of magical power one possesses . My magical power is larger than yours . Therefore, you couldnโt see . Then, I intentionally weakened the magical power coat . Thatโs why you were able to appraise me this timeใ
I see...... Even if my magical power is high, the difference in levels will only add to the difference between our magical powers .
Therefore, I couldnโt see it .
That means, even if a person hasใAppraisalใskill, I wonโt have to worry that much about mine and the childrenโs status being exposed?
Even the strong ones should have less magical power than us . If thatโs the case, we have to be careful of the races with great magical power like elves and demons .
Well, no matter in wich race, ใAppraisalใskill is rare, and people who possess them are scarce, so I donโt have to be that careful, though . We just bumped into Leviathan this time......
ใHas your pondering finished?ใ
ใAh, yes! So, that...... you1? are also a retainer?ใ
I tried to address it, but I remembered that this Leviathan does not have a name .
I was worried for a moment, but โyouโ should be safe, right?
ใYes, are you unsure about how to address me? I do not have a name after all . You may call me as you want . Fumu... I wonโt mind letting you name meใ
No, no . I wasnโt thinking for so long about how to call you, but about magical power andใAppraisalใ .
Why it became a talk about naming!?
This, for now......... letโs ignore it?
ใ...... I didnโt know there was a retainer on the surfaceใ
ใThere are not many, but there are . However, all of us, including myself, spend time by ourselves in remote areasใ
Ah, there are more retainers .
ใAnyway, so the Water God-samaโs children are the children from that timeใ
ใYou know of these children? They are Water God-samaโs children as expected......ใ
As I have expected, Allen and Elena are the Water God-samaโs children .
The twoโs secret identities were revealed just like that .
ใMu? You didnโt know?ใ
ใI have somehow expected it, but Iโm the Wind God-samaโs person, so I wasnโt told in detail . It concerned a stipulation between the gods or somethingใ
ใAh, it would be like that at that personโs placeใ
ใYou know about it?ใ
ใIโm sure you could see from my status, but Iโm someone who is connected to the Water God-sama . I get information . Besides, the children were born...... about a year ago? I was asked to protect the childrenใ
No...... it has been five years since Allen and Elena were born...... would it be better to not tsukkomi here?
Once you live for 800 years, your sense of time may become rough......
ใ...... They werenโt protected, thoughใ
ใFumu . Itโs due to my refusalใ
ใEh!?ใ
ใEntering the country to protect the children would cause ruckuss, after allใ
Ah, certainly .
Leaving aside if Leviathan were alright after leaving the sea, it would get noisy if it appeared on the land......
ใEven if I safely protected them, I wouldnโt be able to raise human children . The childrenโs state wouldnโt change by much even if I protected them . Therefore, I chose the option which would cause less damageใ
As a matter of fact, I can agree .
The town would get destroyed if he decided to protect them...... just imagining it is scary .
Besides, this Leviathan certainly wouldnโt be able to raise the two who were infants at that time . It would crush them if it made a mistake in handling .
ใIt must be a fate for us to meet here . I shall lend you my power when you are in troubleใ
ใAre? I thought that retainers are not allowed to help?ใ
Syl couldnโt lend a hand, and the Water God-samaโs retainers were the same .
ใThatโs the story in that personโs place . Iโm originally from the surface . There are no restrictions for retainers who come from the surfaceใ
ใWas it like that......ใ
I had confirmed it when I decided to look after Allen and Elena, but I have thought to be out of the condition because I come from a different world .
But, it seems like that wasnโt the case .
The people at the Holy Sanctuary apparently have different conditions than on those on the surface......
Then, if Leviathan was no good, he surely asked other retainers to take care of Allen and Elena...... he did not...... definitely .
Come to think of it, I was told that they all live in remote places......
Are perhaps other retainers on the surface similar to Leviathan?
Ah~... it would be impossible then .
ใNow then, have you decided on my name? That will become our provisional contractใ
ใEh? Na, name? Contract?ใ
Name...... it was serious about it?
ใUmu . Not a complete master and servant contract, but connected by fate contract . It will be established when you name me . Thus, you will be able to summon me . Well, it depends on my consent, thoughใ
Not like Joule, Feat, and Vol who I can summon whatever they like it or not, but a consent of the partnerโs will is necessary .
Even if itโs like that, Leviathan will become an enormous ally . I could win even against a country .
I donโt have any plans on fighting them, though .
The other party proposed it, so thereโs no problem if I accept?
Itโs well-informed, so I feel he could become a reliable retainer senpai .
Then, a name . Letโs see......
ใI will ask just in case, but you are a male, right?ใ
ใN? I have no gender . But, if I had to choose then I would choose maleใ
ใThen, how about Kaiser?ใ
ใUmu, good . My name is Kaiserใ
The moment he recited the name, a magic circle appeared on the seaโs surface around Kaiser .
ใIt was safely established . From now on, Iโm Kaiser . Call me like thatใ
I have formed a provisional contract with a LeviathanโโโKaiser .
