Beyond The Sea (OKEGOM FANFIC)

Chapter.3: Reencounter of Past Enemies

The difference between the Pacific Ocean and the glacier is so big, that it's almost funny.

Idate felt his body tingle completely every time he left Iceberg Isle to explore other seas, due to the absurd temperature difference.

As stated last night, the man really left his island to enjoy the kind of vacation he decided to take.

Without a boat because of the habit of traveling on his own, Idate was entering the long-awaited Blue Sea, in his orca form. He then spots the sunken realm, and pauses, reverting to his humanoid form.

The man gazes at the lighted Kingdom below. Even though it was daylight, the lights were easily seen.

- Haah... and here I am again - Idate says, smiling as he thinks about his last memories in that place.

" Well, let's see. I brought Rock's beers and cigarettes with me. I hope he doesn't mind, haha ​​" The orca thinks, swimming towards the kingdom while looking inside a small black bag he was carrying.

Last night, the orca had taken advantage of the fact that it was still dawn and invaded the penguin's house, who was drunk and sleeping on the couch with a half-empty bottle of vodka in his hand. He even had the audacity to paste a super gay post on his face, which read: "Rock, thanks for the cigarettes and beers, buddy! I'll need it for the trip, hope you don't mind. ^3^ - Kisses, Your Lung Cancer pal. ♡"

As Idate entered further into the kingdom, he grew more curious. It was nostalgic for him to visit that place. Apparently, Umizoko was one of Idate's favorite places to "hang out", even though he had only visited the place once. For him, Umizoko was a complete dish, as it had: Several places to go (Spots that are somewhat touristic, like the sea of ​​stars); Markets with delicious and cheap snacks, accompanied by mostly alcoholic drinks or just fruit juice; And the cherry of the cake... Little fish for him to "play with".

Speaking of markets, Idate remembers something when he took a cigarette case out of his bag.

"...I'm...underwater." The orca's expression goes blank, completely forgetting that his cigarettes wouldn't work in the sea...

- Good day sir! You don't look like you're from around here. Welcome to Umizoko! Take this pamphlet and the map of the Kingdom. - Says an flapjack octopus girl, handing over a well-decorated pamphlet along with a map.

Idate looks at the smaller one, then smiles and takes the papers.

- Thanks.

The girl quickly go away, going to a group with other girls, also holding papers. The others looked at Idate and then at the octopus girl, thus starting to mutter things like:

"I still can't believe Minero dragged us into this." A green-haired girl grunts with a neutral expression;
"Well, at least we're doing something useful and we're really going to get something instead of the imaginary treasures she was looking for." Another one with white hair tied in a long pigtail with gray bows answers; "H-HEY! I-It's not my fault we didn't found any treasure!! Anyway... what a fear of that guy... COULD HE BE A MONEYLENDER!?" "YOU TALKED TOO LOUD YOU IDIOT!" The two friends of the octopus supposedly named Minero give the smaller one a bonk, making her whimper.

Idate just watched the girls with the same smile as always, and decided to ignore everything he heard so the girls would believe that they didn't say anything that loud from the beginning.

- Kids...- The orca says, shaking his head and starting to walk again as he takes a look at the pamphlet in his hand.

The blue paper decorated with stars and some waves, had the image of a large building, which in Idate's eyes... looked like a hotel; At the top of it was written "The Birthday of the Kingdom is approaching! Call all your friends and family to celebrate another year of peace in Umizoko"
