Episode 80
I turned to the mermaid because Parker was shy and shy.
"It looks like an unhappy brother and brother has troubled us. We apologize in return."
"No, no, fufufu"
Why are you so happy?
"Good, brother apprentice ..."
"It's nice"
The mermaids gladly shuffle their tails, but I didn't know how to answer.
Personally, I would like to hear a lot of talks immediately, but mermaids are not good at such administrative conversations.
Here you won't get in the way and just relax and keep pace with them.
But first, an apology.
"Parker isn't a bad guy, but she's frivolous and easily misunderstood. I'm sorry to say that I'm sorry and I apologize to myself. I'm sorry."
The mermaids hurriedly swung their tails left and right.
"That's ridiculous, Parker is really sincere and helped me a lot."
I can't believe it.
Sincere?
"But this guy said," Just enter the Demon King's army in the upper half ... "
"I haven't said that, is that so?"
Mermaids tilt their heads curiously.
"While we refused the offer of the Demon King, Parker helped us in various ways. He is very serious."
serious? This guy?
I couldn't believe it, but the mermaids shouted,
"Mr. Parker exorced the spirits around here, so we can hide and live on the rocks around here."
"If Parker hadn't come, we would have been wandering across the open ocean with fewer numbers."
Summarizing their story, the mermaids seemed to have been wandering until recently. However, they are not migratory fish. It is a hunter-gatherer, but seems to be settled in a specific place.
Parker reportedly exiled the rocks and islets where the ghosts were wandering for them.
"The spirits of those who died in the sea wandered between the waves in search of land. Therefore, offshore islets and shallows are often launched with spirits that cannot go to the underground."
Parker tells her to look up and hides her face again.
If you didn't come back at all, did you do that?
When I stared at Parker's face, he scratched his head in trouble.
"Hahaha, it looks like you're losing what you've been doing! But thanks to you, you've practiced exorcism! It's so great!"
"Parker"
"What is it?"
I said with a smile.
"Thank you, I did a good thing."
Immediately, Parker leans over and leans against the hull.
"Don't stop, it's a foul to praise! I'm shy!"
"No, helping the demons is also a policy of the Demon King's Army.
"No, no, that's it? After the negotiations, we're just lingering around?"
He seems to be weak to be praised unexpectedly.
I'll give you more praise.
"Well, my nose is high as a disciple. Have such a fine disciple."
"Oh, okay? No, I'd rather negotiate with the mermaids."
"It's a virtuous sibling. Don't respect me."
"Well, stop me ..."
Parker stuck to the bottom of the ship and became immobile.
This method can be used.
I'll let you know even Melene.
Having silenced the troublesome siblings, I decided to talk slowly with the mermaids.
"Actually, people are suspicious of you. Maybe they are attacking a human ship."
The mermaids swiftly buzz.
Legend has it that they control the water or cast a curse that sinks the ship, but it's hard to imagine that they don't have that much power.
That's because vampires and dogs. Human beings are so imaginative that they want to adopt this mysterious setting immediately.
"We don't attack human boats. We sometimes get out of our homes in the song" Don't come. "
"Either way, everyone is rumoring that humans are catching our friends."
What does it mean?
Parker got up with a rattle and explained:
"I remember being a former human, but I think mermaids are immortal, because they don't look old at all."
Since there are only women in addition, they seem to be seen with a mysterious image.
Therefore, it is said that some merciless humans are aiming for the mermaid, as if the secret of immortality is hidden in the mermaid.
"We certainly don't look very different, but rather we can't go out when we get older, because the sea is full of enemies."
The mermaids say sadly. They only seemed to be in their mid-teens to late twenties, but they actually told me that forty-something mermaids were also here. I can't tell.
"There are lots of ferocious monsters in the sea. We can repel enemies with the speed of swimming and the power of singing, but if neither can communicate, we can eat."
Therefore, it is common for mermaids to retire as soon as they get older, and to be in charge of singing songs and babysitters on the reef. They don't appear in public.
By the way, there is also a male mermaid, but he specializes in swimming speed rather than singing, so he seems to be in charge of hunting in the school. Everyone seems to be busy catching fish and shellfish.
They are often attacked by monsters or go missing while hunting, so it is said that male mermaids are always in short supply.
It's a story of sympathy for the same guy.
It's not as mysterious or elegant as humans might think ...
I also understand Parker's sympathy for mermaids.
"Our young mermaids swim fast and sing well, but in the waters in front of us, there were suddenly no mermaids of the same age."
"I wasn't particularly isolated from the herd, and I was only attacked by humans or demons ..."
Mermaids with sad expressions.
"We don't have the power to fight humans, and we don't want to fight at all, so we wandered for safe waters."
So that's it. That's why this frivolous skeleton came.
The waters in front of the mermaids were close to Belousa, and they decided to move with caution. However, he found that the reef was full of ghosts and couldn't get close, and he couldn't get away with singing.
The mermaids were in front of the waters just east of Belousa. It's close to the route from Belousa to Lozzo.
Neither humans nor mermaids testify that they attack each other.
If both testimonies are true, there could be a third "enemy" attacking both.
If so, is the "enemy" a human or a monster?
"Well, Parker"
"What is it?"
During my training, I was recalling what I read in my teacher's collection.
"Is it a monster that lives in the sea and can feed on mermaids and sailing boats?"
"Hmm ... I don't know. There are huge creatures on land, and there seems to be something in the sea."
Parker shrugged, but suddenly recalled.
"Speaking of which, while drifting in search of a mermaid, you've lost your way into the deep fog."
"fog?"
Parker sailed out with the skeleton sailors to meet the mermaid, but was trapped in fog for several days on the voyage.
"The wind and the tide seemed to stop, and the fog was overcrowding. I thought it was a weird place and hid the boat with the illusion that I just learned just in case."
Eventually, nothing happened, and the fog eventually cleared and Parker could meet the mermaids.
"It's strange, but what can I say ..."
This is a bone.
If the monster finds Parker, there is no place to eat. Even if you encounter monsters, they will pass by.
Well, do you remember the story now?
"I understand your situation for the time being, so I'll talk to some people. I'd be happy if you could accompany me."
The mermaids looked at each other as if they were a little scared.
Is it impossible?
"By the way, who is your head?"
"I don't have anything in particular. We don't fight, so we don't know who is the best ..."
It's just a matter of discussion, but in a strange place it's a demonic temperament.
Anyway, go back and talk with the gershes.
And it seems better to contact Luneheight.
