Xijun had revealed to me her secret, the simple technique she had done perfectly since birth, and the one her grandpa taught to her… her grandpa seemed like a fearsome ocean fighter, I have to admit it. If he was able to raise such a monster granddaughter, he wasn't normal at all, I swear.

"I like the sea. It soothes me. I don't like the idea of going away from it… but I know it's the right thing to do now…" she sighed.

"I see… It is hard to walk away from your comfort zone, I know a lot about that feeling… But its always gets easy when there are people at your side to help you out." I said.

She might feel similarly to how I felt when I was back in my home, my department. I was confined in my room for the most part, never getting out. It was desolate and lonely, but I had embraced this world and this life, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

But when the Ragnarök was about to start and I had to move out of the big city, I had felt a lot of fear, I didn't wanted to walk away from my comfort zone, my comfortable home… it hurt a lot to do, but I did it.

I had gone to my city after things were done, but my department was destroyed and alongside many others around it, my home was no longer my home, and well, I had grown outside of it already… now my divine realm was my home!

Of course, this beach is also my home too, a month here is enough for me to get used to its peculiarities… although I still don't like fighting dinosaurs all the time.

"Hm… Thank you, Gustav. I am glad I meet you." She said. Xijun was a bit expressionless but she acted cutely sometimes.

"Eh? R-Really?" I asked.

"Yeah… You give me delicious chocolate and sweets. You're really the most amazing thing I've ever met to be able to bring to me such things." She said while nodding."Gah…! I knew it was going to have some weird twist, you're only introduced in my candies…" I sighed.

"Of course, I would be lying if I said I didn't cared about you." Said Xijun.

"Oh?! Xijun…" I said.

"…Because you bring me the candies and chocolates, so I can't possible discard you." She said.

"Agh…! You're so cold sometimes!" I said.

"Sorry. I was just joking around…" she said with a slight giggle.

"Oh?! Who would had thought you would have a sense of humor…" I said surprised.

"See? I can also be funny sometimes." She said while nodding.

"You sure can… But you scared me more than anything. Anyways, I think you've acquired your strength by doing that meditation, it is probably not much to you, but your grandpa might had been a big shot secretly." I said.

"Big shot? But he was a humble fisher." Said Xijun.

"You're not a humble fisher at all though…" I said.

"That's harsh…" she said.

Well, for starters, Xijun's grandpa was abnormally strong. She said he caught real fish, which were tens of times the size of what she currently fishes for, actually there evidence everywhere over the shores, massive skeletons that spawn almost a kilometer everywhere… and Xijun says that's the skeletons left by the tasty food she ate with her Grandpa.

She said her grandpa had once fished a massive fish that made the entire world tremble, brought disaster upon the land, and called the lightning, but her grandpa beat it with his amazing fishing technique, and ate it with her.If this is true, her grandpa might had the power to fish incredibly strong beings somehow… And to boot, she probably was taught all the powers and techniques she knows about. She can utilize water very amazingly, she can even set up traps, manipulate the ocean to create currents to bring the big fish towards her (usually the one she catches with her fish rod), and even I saw her make the entire place humid one day through the production of mist… she can even do this to bathe without salty water.

I've seen her use her magic to take away all the blood of a corpse too, and that knife she was given by her grandpa could easily cut through these beasts with ease as well, butchering them without problems.

She probably has been eating these giant and powerful monsters since she was born, due to that, her power is probably immense, she might had inherited the power of various sea monsters of terrifying power, and their innate abilities are just waiting to be awakened within.

"I believe your grandpa was a big shot based in all the evidence… he probably taught you all of that for a reason, he wanted you to be his inheritor, his entire inheritance were his techniques and the way he loved you. I guess this is all an assumption, but he was very strong to die by natural causes…" I said.

"Eh? You mean…?" she asked.

"There might had been a third party involved, it just doesn't make sense that someone so strong would die so easily…" I said.

"You're right… But I remember that grandpa went to sleep and didn't woke up…" she sighed.

"Ah…"

Maybe I screwed up, I shouldn't had been so rash with my wording. I should apologize.

"I… sorry, I didn't wanted you to remember those memories." I said.magic

"Don't worry about it, its all in the past. I buried grandpa and now he's part of the shore that he always loved." She said.

"I see… I am glad he passed away peacefully with such a good granddaughter." I said.

"Hm… Grandpa was strong and nice… I miss him… But I am also stronger than before now… I will live up to my own dreams too, and… I want to explore the world… Gustav, can you accompany me?" she asked.

"Haha, sure thing, why not? I had already decided to go with you anyways." I said.

"Thank you…"

Xijun was really a peculiar girl.
