Chapter 133 – The Monmus Family – Second (1)
Eve is depressed. After Lucius went to the ballroom, Eve’s planting was very uncomfortable. Everyone in the mansion was depressed enough to know that Eve was a hypochondria. When she first came to the mansion, she looked like a well-honed blade and was hard to touch. Recently, she was flaccid and lethargic like a reed.
“Under…”
Even today, Eve was sitting at her office desk, rolling her pen holder. Aira smiled bitterly at the sight. If Shieri had been present, she would have said that she would not sit at the desk in the office, but now in this mansion there was no one to stop Eve.
“Are you having a bad day?”
“No.”
Eve said she lied, with her face assuring her that something was wrong with her. In fact, she had no reason for Eve to be depressed. Lucius originally had no intention of going to the ball at the capital, he was convinced of the reason why Eve couldn’t go to the ball, and he was the one who gave up the opportunity to go to the ball.
To be honest, Eve couldn’t stand it if someone laughed at her at the ball. So it was only fitting that Sieri, who was more patient and affectionate than anyone else, would go to the ball with Lucius. But even though she thought so, she couldn’t help but feel bad. Eve kicked her tongue and got up from her seat.
“Oh, is today the end?”
Aira, who was waiting for her to leave work more than anyone else, asked with her lively face. Eve nodded her head and said.
“The rest will be done when the groom returns.”
She finished the job roughly and she got out and she headed for the pool. As Selu swims in her pool, she looks up at Eve. Selou was her Eve’s adoptive mother. After escaping from her slave market, her mermaid, who accepted her into her group, came running believing only her rumor that there was an island inhabited by mermaids.
“I’m not feeling well these days.”
Said Selu. Eve replied, narrowing her eyes at those words. What she had been stabbed inwardly jumped out and made a sharp response.
“Fuck, that’s what everyone who sees it. Am I that dead? Huh? Wasn’t I always dead?”
“Usually it was the face of someone who killed someone, but these days it’s someone who died.”
Sellu, she said, seemed accustomed to Eve’s sudden rush. Eve gave up her resentment at her cellu’s laid-back attitude. In the first place, I was confused about who to be angry with and what.
Eve took off her shoes and dipped her feet into her pool. Dipping her feet in the cold water seemed to make her feel better. Selou gently swims through her water and she occasionally hums her in a way only her mermaids can.
“Mommy is like a duck.”
“Duck?”
Selu asked, sticking her head out of her water. She knew what a duck was. She often had ducks and chickens loaded on her ships for food, so although she hadn’t seen them in person, she had a lot of experience eating them.
“Why is there a duck all of a sudden? Are you hungry?”
“No, just.”
Eve said, rubbing her knees. She was born with an unwanted pregnancy, and she lived a life she did not want, and then ran away like being cast out into the sea. She killed people and by chance she met and married Lucius, who was now her lord’s wife. But she didn’t know if she was really happy.
That’s why Eve thought Sellu was like a duck. She is a duck who lives leisurely by swimming her body her in the pool. There were always ducks swimming in the lake in the park near the slave market. Her mother her, who was a mermaid, told Eve that ‘mermaids swim as freely as that duck in the sea’. There was no mermaid who lived more freely than ducks.
It was because everyone was afraid of humans, and it was a continuation of life that avoided them every day. She was not afraid of humans, and she let go of even the gazes that were directed at her, and she seemed to have abandoned even hatred. She seemed like a duck to Eve.
“Isn’t Mom angry?”
“Fury?”
“My mother was originally the head of the island of mermaids. She was the king of mermaids, but now she is not properly called a wife by my groom, and she does not have freedom of action. She is the worst life for a mother .No?”
Sellu did not answer Eve’s questions of her. She stuck out her tongue and laughed.
“Hehe. You look more unhappy than me for asking that.”
“Fuck. Don’t talk to me. Mom. I’m talking seriously. And why am I unhappy? I’m so damn happy. My husband loves me, he became the lord’s wife, and he’s not punished for killing people. It’s fucking good.”
“But I can’t go to the prom.”
“Fuck again and again. Hey… No, you’re talking shit. Mom, I gave in. Huh? It’s better for Sieri to go. Huh?”
“But you wanted to go. Even when you were on Mermaid Island, you talked about humans from time to time. They say they eat delicious food and dance and play, but why did the mermaids sing so boringly?”
“Why are you talking about the old days again. Huh?”
“Why are you upset that you can’t go to the prom?”
Sellu asked. Eve couldn’t meet Selou’s eyes. Sellu smirked and nudged Eve on the cheek.
“Because you are human.”
“…I’m a mermaid.”
“Then there’s no reason to be angry at being alienated by humans. Are you angry that the elves reject you? Do you think beastmen would be angry if they rejected you from their group? No, I understand. But you want to go to the ball with the humans right now, don’t you?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Then what is it?”
“Fuck, I mean, that…”
Eve was troubled. As she stirred her water with her hand, searching for her words of her, Selu brought her face closer and asked.
“So what?”
“No, that’s why… That…”
Sellu asked, rubbing her Eve’s knee.
“What?”
And at that, Eve dyed her face red and jumped up from her seat.
“Oh really! I wanted to dance with the groom. Why!”
At that, Seluga smiled and said.
“Hehe. As a mother, I’m glad you said that.”
Eve shook her head and said.
“…Fuck. Don’t be shy. Huh?”
“Your husband asked if she could call me mom while having sex with me.”
“…That bastard is real.”
Eve thought that when Lucius returned from the ball, he would have to take a look at the matter.
While the mermaid mother and daughter were talking like this, Elsie was patrolling the village with the knights. She was very quiet, and because she was Elsie, who rarely expressed emotions, the knights felt very burdened to go on patrol with Elsie. No matter what she said, she did n’t answer or remain silent, and there was no change in her expression when she told her to do the work, so doubts about whether it was okay to do the work kept popping up.
“Is the weather nice today?”
Elsie’s knights on patrol today spoke to her in hopes of getting to know her better. Elsie perked up her ears, looked around her, and nodded at her.
“I think so. It won’t rain.”
“Hey, you have a knack for matching the weather. You’re amazing.”
“It’s nothing.”
The praise given by the knights to Elsie now is to humans, ‘You know how to pick things up with your hands! That’s great!’, So she replied without much emotion. On the one hand, I was thinking that it would be nice if Lucius would praise me for this kind of talent.
“It will be comfortable when drying the laundry.”
“Yes.”
The Knight Party member decided to keep his mouth shut again. Rather, if Robin had been in this position, she would have been more talkative. Elsie asked as the knights kept her mouth shut, pointing to the spot where the crowd had gathered.
“People are gathering.”
“Let’s go.”
The knights hurriedly headed to the gathering place to break the awkward atmosphere. There, white-powdered people were calling people with bottles of medicine.
“Now! Everyone! A cure for depression! An elixir of happiness that makes you happy when you drink it! It’s an elixir made by grinding precious Mermel Glass and decocting a secret herb that only grows in the elves’ forest!”
“What is Mermel Glass?”
Elsie asked the knights. The knights also shook their heads, not knowing what mermel glass was. In fact, it seemed that no one here knew what Mermel Glass was. Merchants were flirting with each other and selling their wares.
You can’t let a suspicious item you don’t know what to do business with. The Templar, who had been thinking about what Mummel Glass was for a moment, exclaimed.
“Stop!”
At the cry of the knights, the people backed away little by little. The merchants were giving interesting glances, as if it was strange that the knights had brought a handful. He looked over at Elsie and said.
“Knight… You brought a slave. Would you like to buy one of these elixirs?”
“Who are you going to do business with?”
“Of course it’s not the lord. Here, here, here’s the permit.”
The vendors smiled awkwardly and held out their permits. The Templar accepted the permit and began to read it slowly. Meanwhile, Elsie was flicking the bottle with her fingers to see if she was interested in the merchants’ potion.
“Ugh! Don’t touch that!”
The salesman was started and tried to push Elsie away. However, the merchant’s meager muscle strength did n’t push Elsie away, and she could n’t even restrain her arms her. Elsie pushed her salesman holding her to the floor and asked the other.
“Is it good for depressed people?”
“Ah, yes yes…”
The merchants, who confirmed that their strength was not normal, hurriedly took a polite posture. The salesman who rolled on the floor seemed to try to grapple once, but another guy stopped him.
“Would you like to buy it?”
The merchant asked awkwardly.”
Elsie nodded and said.
“I wish I could give you a bottle. The mermaid is feeling depressed these days.”
“Yes, you know…Are you a mermaid?”
He paused as he was about to hand him the water bottle, then looked at Elsie as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have heard from a vendor. Elsie was annoyed at the vendor moving the vial in front of her hand as if it were shrinking, so she forcibly snatched the vial from him and tossed his coin. The merchant was looking at Elsie and the knight with a very embarrassed face.
The driver returned the permit again and asked.
“This is not our territory permit. Looking at the permit, it seems that we took a wrong road on our way. This is Peta territory, not Amur territory. We will not punish you, so close the stall and go home.”
The merchants suddenly packed their bags with contemplative faces and were about to return in a hurry. The knights thought that the action looked suspicious, but the fact that there was no damage to the territory and the fact that the permit was real meant that they would just send them back.
“Hey, what’s the matter! Oops!”
“Hey, you have to return the vial…!”
One of the vendors tried to snatch the vial from Elsie. But Elsie stubbornly shook her head and said.
“No. I’ll give it to the mermaid.”
“No! That, that’s bad for mermaids! Got it?”
“I said earlier that it was good medicine. Did you lie to me?”
When Elsie exposed his claws her, another shopkeeper gasped and shut his colleague’s mouth.
“Oh no! It’s nothing! It’s really good stuff! It’s only bad for mermaids! There’s nothing fishy in it! If you don’t believe me, I’m going to drink a bottle here!”
The knights and Elsie nodded in response. These guys There is something.
