At just nineteen, Misao was regarded as an extraordinarily beautiful and adept diver among generations of sea priestesses.

Her body was perfectly fit and trained, her lungs honed through years beneath the sea - while her youthful body and fearless vitality were ready to take on challenges far beyond the norm.

And recently, during a routine deep dive, Misao held her breath underwater for over ten minutes while propelling herself at full speed - far beyond what should have been possible. At first she expected agony, panic, and the desperate instinct to breathe. But then, she felt exhilaration. The crushing pain of water flooding her lungs slowly dissolved into something transcendent: a euphoric calm, as though the ocean itself had accepted her.

For the first time, Misao realized that underwater, she no longer felt human limitations.

She felt invincible.

So great seeing Misao again and this time for first time ever in color. And I love how Misao’s tan that she has here

Are we missing part of the description? There was more in the email, something about a moonshine festival. And the question regarding that: did she ever complete the ritual, or does that responsibility also fall to Saki? And like Saki is training Tomokazu, who was Misao’s assistant diver?

Beautiful

I read that part about the moonshine festival. It was something that did happened every 1000 year. And it was something that no other diver had succeed at before. They all had drowned, and Misao was going to complete it or drown. There was nothing about a assistant diver in the description

So lovely 💙🩱

Humanity has only been around for 3-4 thousand years, and I doubt that the ritual was held during the first thousand, so are we suggesting that the ritual has only been completed three times? And yes, I know the description didn’t say anything about an assistant diver, but the priestess is supposed to have one, right? Who acted as Misao’s assistant?

No it was said no one had completed the dive. As everybody who tried the ritual. Drowned while trying it as you where allowed no air or rope

Saver probably also thinks that a ritual held per 1000 years is too ridiculous. So he deleted this text. But I think he could change the interval to 15 years and the ritual is a trials witch for promotion to formal sea priestess or higher classes. Determined by the difficulty of the trials. Only those who have passed the trial can be promoted. Pass or die! Saki also needs to prove herself.

Saki definitely needs to attempt one of these super long shrine dives to prove herself, and will likely be forced to drag Tomokazu along. That’s why I’m curious who Misao’s assistant was. As far as we know no one at that time was capable of anything close to what Misao could accomplish, either in terms of time or distance. And a shrine dive that only happens once every thousand years (meaning it’s happened three times max) seems a bit too far even for this story. I would believe every hundred years though.

Misao's skin tone is different from what I imagined, but it's understandable.
