The whale eye surrounding the cruise ship seemed fully activated, swelling to 1.5 times its original size, its surface covered in bloodshot veins pulsating as if ready to explode at any moment.

Such a massive eye, if it burst, would have the power to engulf the cruise ship.

"How could this happen? The ship’s disguise should have been good;

could one of us have exposed us?"

The only person William could think of was Nash, but when he rushed into the neighboring room, reeking of alcohol, Nash was embracing his own brain, sleeping in the bathtub.

"Hmm? Could it be the subjective will of the sea?"

As William speculated, a whale eye charged at the cruise ship at such a high speed that it was unstoppable! Just as it was about to collide with the side of the ship.

Whizz! A flash of starlight passed.

The whale eye actually penetrated through the body of the ship to the other side, unable to strike or cause an explosion,

Following this, several more whale eyes attempted to hit the cruise ship but all passed directly through to the other side of the vessel in a strange occurrence,

Not only leaving William and the others dumbfounded, but also terrifying the crew of the Big Gums who went weak at the knees, as if on a roller coaster.

Not a single accident occurred, and the surface of the ship even started to overflow with starlights, as if the entire cruise ship was rapidly traveling through a layer of space.

In the depths of the Old World’s Arc Sea,

Fish Origin Nashatara observed the scene of simulated ocean eyeballs penetrating the model ship, blinking his multi-layered eyelids several times, deducing that there was a specialist in space on board, a unique patient.

"A suspected Stargazer chose to board a ship at Tooth Port... That’s strange."

Fish Origin personally intervened, grasping one of the eyeballs approaching the ship with his layered fingers, and with a gentle squeeze... pop! Juice splashed on his fingers.

Corresponding to the human world, a whale eye exploded on the spot.

Boom—a green mushroom cloud rose from the sea surface.

But when the cloud dispersed, the cruise ship continued to sail normally, as if it truly was situated in a spatial layer, unaffected by any physical interference.

However, what Fish Origin did not know,

was that the woman suspended between the rooms had blood, milky white, trickling from the corner of her mouth due to the explosion. If the explosions continued, Desline, in order to ensure the safety of the ship, would certainly not be able to hold on.

But the explosions did not continue, and all whale eyes no longer became congested and returned to normal.

"Interesting, it seems the Stargazer really is aboard this ship... If the destination has to do with the Silver Sea Domain, it might be useful to exploit that."

Fish Origin Nashatara extended the dense fish scales on his body,

Creating a peculiar melody of the deep sea through the friction of the scales and the movement of some tissue beneath the skin.

This sound instantly spread throughout the ocean floor, only receivable by sea people of a certain level.

In less than ten seconds, several distorted individuals resembling human females rushed to the current laboratory.

"Send one person, go to this special ship, find the passengers and negotiate with them. The contents of the negotiation have been engraved in this eyeball, whoever grabs it first will be responsible for handling it.

As a reminder, negotiate as amicably as possible."

No sooner had he spoken than Fish Origin tossed the eyeball into the air,

Diverse distorted individuals eagerly shot out, spat out, or ejected tentacles, with a thin, shriveled tentacle catching the eyeball in the gap, undertaking the task that required crossing worlds.

A harsh female voice came through, "Master, what if they refuse to negotiate? Should I bury them at sea?"

"It depends on the situation, try not to kill them. Just letting the sea engulf them is enough, as Stargazers are rare and valuable experimental material."

"Understood."

Just as the woman was about to act, Fish Origin surprisingly plucked a scale from his body and threw it to her, "Stick this on your body to greatly reduce the side effects brought about by crossing worlds, just be mindful of the timing."

"Thank you, Master."

[Human World-Big Gums]

William too immediately realized it was the Principal’s doing and arrived at her room door, but found it secured with a spatial barrier, so chose to knock instead.

"Principal, are you all right?"

"I’m fine~ Since the sea has calmed down, I just need a bit of rest to recover. Unless something major happens, I can handle it. You and Dentist Jessica go about your duties, don’t waste time."

"Shall we grab some food together?"

"I’ve already eaten, you go ahead."

As the voice fell, a sudden spatial disturbance fiercely struck.

William disregarded the barrier completely, transcending by relying on his understanding of the stars... However, the passage through which William transcended was slightly different, taking on a spiral form.

He could tell at a glance that the Principal floating in mid-air was somewhat weak,

Ignoring the warnings, he swiftly moved forward and, in a princess carry, caught the Principal and landed securely on the ground.

Bowing his head to look at the Principal held in his arms, he asked in the most friendly manner, "Not just for a meal, I also have some questions about the Deep Sea I’d like to discuss with you. Would that be alright?"

Unexpectedly, a "Star Shattering Kick" landed directly on William’s forehead.

Smack!

He was instantly kicked flying, crashing heavily against the hotel’s wall.

Desline then made an elegant and light spin and instantly changed into her usual casual wear. Putting on her black-rimmed glasses, she said, "Next time, without my permission, you are forbidden to enter, forbidden to... hold me.

Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as just a kick."

"Wow~ that really hurts!" William, holding his dented skull, said, "It seems I was overly concerned. Principal, you can still deliver such a kick~ I deeply apologize for my abrupt intrusion. It won’t happen again."

"Good to know, let’s hurry up and eat."

The two subsequently left the bedroom,

Dentist Jessica honestly waited at the door, not asking about the intense commotion that had just occurred inside or caring about it. She was only interested in William’s body structure. Wherever William was, she would be there, completely indifferent to what others thought.

The three of them had not been walking through the water-filled corridor for long when an urgent voice came from behind,

"Boss, wait! How can you have a meal without me!"

Nash, while stuffing his skull with a brain, hurried after them, and the four finally met in the restaurant. Dishes that appeared very much to human taste were served.

Nash was the only one who ate heartily without regard for appearances,

Since the Principal had already eaten, he only quietly watched the Dentist across from him, trying to discern her essence and thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Dentist Jessica lifted her dish, stood up from her seat, and explained, "My appearance is very ugly. Please allow me to dine somewhere else so as not to disturb your meal."

Just as William was about to persuade her to stay, Desline cut in,

"Appearance is merely external. Individuals who overly focus on this reveal their lack of purity and lack of manners. Since Miss Jessica has chosen to join us, even if only to give William a medical examination, she is part of us.

"If we cannot accept your appearance, then we are indeed lacking.

"Please dine here with us, if you will."

"Thank you."

Jessica appeared very polite, accommodating Desline’s suggestion.

As she removed her mask, revealing her appearance, Desline’s eyes widened. Ignoring the stitches at the corner of her mouth, she simply admired the other’s facial features.

"So beautiful~"

Flattered by Desline’s comment, Jessica even blushed, again expressing her thanks.

"Thank you."

Desline, now enthusiastic, immediately asked, "Miss Jessica, do you have time to give me a medical exam as well? Whatever amount William pays, I’ll pay the same."

"No need to pay~ After I check Mr. William’s most troublesome abdominal structure, I’ll come and help you for free."

In that instant, Desline’s negative feelings towards the dentist disappeared, instead turning into a different kind of fondness.

Even after dining, Desline suddenly suggested, "Why don’t you two come and live in my room? Their rooms here are quite spacious, definitely enough for three people.

"If there’s another marine anomaly, you both could help out at a moment’s notice. It’s a bit hard for me to manage alone."

Jessica readily agreed, "Sure~"

William remained silent, continuing with his meal.

Nash, who was gorging himself, suddenly raised his hand, still choking on unchewed crab shell fragments, starting to speak, "What about me? Are we all planning to live together?"

Half an hour later.

Click!

The door closed,

and Nash stood alone in the waterlogged corridor. This time he didn’t eavesdrop or let his thoughts wander but instead just dug out his frontal lobe, wandering around like a corpse.
