Yuushi examined the data on the screen Niou sent his way. The mass that Niou had pointed out did look like it could be a lifeform, and rather big one considering it was visible despite being well below the surface. There weren't any signs of smaller water organisms like fish, though, for better or for worse.

He looked at where Hiyoshi was accompanying Ibu. "Do you think we should wait for them to return before approaching the water ourselves, or can we risk it?" he asked Niou.

It was unlikely that the thing below the water would surface that quickly, and even if it did could Hiyoshi fight something that might be the size of an Earth whale.
