Those half-human, half-fish, half-frog monsters were terrifying enough, but compared to the other two creatures in the Wall Carvings, they were probably as cute as the cartoon Mickey Mouse characters at Disney parks who posed for photos with visitors.
Especially since the Wall Carvings alone had not made their scale quite so intuitive before. Now that she saw the two thrones, Nelly gained a clearer understanding of the size of the things that sat upon them.
Even in the vast ocean depths, they could absolutely be called colossal creatures.
Nelly felt like a mouse that had wandered into a cat house. Fortunately, the owner was not home today. She only hoped they would never return. She even began to worry about Yonaguni Island, where she lived. With neighbors like these nearby, the fact that Yonaguni Island had gone so many years without mishap was nothing short of a miracle.
But seeing the two thrones was not entirely bad news.
Nelly had been worrying whether there was another exit at the far end of the underwater passage. Now she could finally breathe easier, because no matter how wide the crack that had let her in had opened, it clearly could not accommodate the things on the thrones.
Therefore, there had to be another exit here. Sweeping her flashlight around, Nelly quickly found it.
