Chapter 11: Suspicious Movement

Author's Note:

Thank you very much for reading my story. As a novice writer, it brings me joy that you give notice to this small piece of work. I would very much appreciate it as well if I were to receive feedback and comments from my readers as they help motivate me. Anyway, please continue supporting this story and I hope you enjoy reading this chapter. Wah!

So, yeah. After going through a terrifying first experience where I could have potentially died, I am greeted with a rather surprising encounter. That encounter being a smol shark girl talking with my Priestess. Of course, I already knew it's none other than Gawr Gura, the Atlantean shark girl. I guess seeing the two interact is a reward in a sense for going through something traumatizing.

As the two continued to talk, I noticed in the crowd that there were individuals other than the Takodachis. They were sticking out like a sore thumb as they were the only ones that weren't masked by the Priestess' spell. They had a human body which seemed normal but had a shrimp tail sticking out from their behind. They wore pretty much normal clothing but gave off the sensation that they are from the ocean.

"Those are the Chumbuds, right?" I asked Alex.

He nodded. "Indeed, you're right. They're the shrimps that accompany Gura when she visits the temple," he said.

"Weren't we the only the can enter this place?" I asked.

"Technically, we are the only ones who can enter this place without trouble. However, if other people wished to enter this place, they should have the permission from the Priestess and the spell to gain access here," Alex explained.

"I guess that makes sense, after all she is her genmate. I assume the others have access as well."

"Well, yes. She did give them access as well as the rest of Hololive. By rest of Hololive, I mean the CEO, the managers, and of course the members."

Having learnt that new piece of information, I returned my focus back to the two members that were talking. As I continued watching them, I felt a strange sensation and out of nowhere a person dressed as a detective appeared near Ina and Gura.

"Ame!!!" the two shouted in unison.

"Geez, ladies. No need to shout. You nearly burst my eardrums," Ame said.

"Haha. Very funny, Watson. Your gamer rage screams are far worse. Tell her, Ina," Gura said.

"Now, now, no need to quarrel, you two. Everyone is watching," Ina told them.

Seeing Amelia Watson appear out of nowhere was very surprising. I had to rub eyes and blink twice just to see if what I saw was right. Cera chuckled at the sight of my reaction to the event.

"You should see your face right now, Xander! It's hilarious," she said. "Why're you even making that face?"

"I mean, I just witnessed someone appear out of nowhere just like that for the first time. Of course, I'm making this face," I replied. "Ame can't turn invisible, right?"

Alex nodded. "She can't. However, I'm pretty sure you know this, but she can stop time for a moment. This is but an application of that power."

"You mean, since she stopped time and moved within that space, we couldn't see her. Then when she resumed time, our senses caught up and picked up that she was now before us."
