Chapter 135 – The Monmus Family – Second (3)
“It was done under an agreement? A water trade? A mermaid?”
“Yes! Yes! That’s right! Really, on the condition that we take care of the mermaid…”
Eve’s eyebrows twitched. The mermaid she knew was not such a creature. The merchant’s words got on Eve’s nerves moderately. Between curiosity and anger. Eve wanted to give this merchant a chance to prove her self and her word her.
“Since you took care of the mermaid, I told you to give me the scales?”
“That, we really protected mermaids! Because of the cost of raising mermaids, the family can’t afford it… It’s not even weak in the first place! It’s a tonic! It’s legal to sell tonics, and we’ve got a business license from the Amur Territory. Don’t you?”
“Fuck you guys, how do you know how to search and talk so confidently when you get caught in a trap? Where is the mermaid who allows even scales to make potions? Fucking water vendors talk a lot.”
Eve raised the knife again. She said the merchant with a pale face.
“Oh, that… Can I say one more thing?”
“What.”
“What we sell is… That we only sold real ‘water’, not prostitution.”
“You only sold water?”
Eve looked at Elsie again. Elsie nodded as if she was looking at something and said to Eve.
“Right. So. Water business.”
“Fuck…”
Eve sat down, clutching her head. It was her fault for thinking that Elsie would know difficult slang like ‘water dealer’in the first place. Elsie asked.
“Mermaid. What’s wrong?”
“No…”
After giving a rough answer to Elsie, who was looking at her with concern, Eve shouted at the merchants out of embarrassment.
“What the fuck are you guys doing selling mermaid scales and water, fuck you!”
“Well, I was wrong! But I had to make a living! Mermaids are expensive to maintain!”
The merchants insisted that they were unfair until the end. At this point, Eve also wanted to meet the mermaid. What kind of bitch are you, taking care of humans and even giving them scales? Eve drew her sword and pointed at one of them. The man he thought was trying to kill him screamed and shook him. Eve said scratching her head.
“Where did you put that mermaid now?”
“Ah, that… To my house…”
“Bring it.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll send 2 knights along with Elsie, so bring them along.
Eve headed towards the red curtain inside the dungeon. Merchants raised their heads and tried to look inside, as if curious to see what lay beyond.
“Sigh…”
When Eve pulled back the curtains, there were dildos of various sizes hanging on the wall. The merchants could not bear to watch the embarrassing sight and turned their heads. Eve took out the biggest dildo among them and started playing with it. At the tip of the dildo, there was a hedgehog-like protrusion that grew round and thick, and its thickness alone was larger than the size of a normal person’s fist. The pillar connecting the tip was as thick as an adult man’s forearm, and slightly shorter than Eve’s leg.
Merchants began to fear what the hell they would do with the dildo. Eve pressed the blue button and tossed the dildo into the air. A blue energy field spread around the dildo that floated in the air, and it soon changed into a blue muscular male figure.
“Heeheeeee…!”
Merchants freaked out and ran as far away as possible. The sight of him dangling a dildo was nothing short of horror. Eve pressed the button on the dildo and stepped back a little further. At the same time as the pressure, the dildo man raised his arm and moved his waist slowly, then started teasing his waist at a tremendous speed.
“Aaaaa!”
“Heeheeeee!”
The merchants started screaming as they saw it. It was because he seemed to know why he was showing them that. Eve kicked the dildo off and threw it across the curtain into the room.
“Ask the mermaid, if the story differs even slightly, I’ll stick that thing in your butthole and throw it away. Okay?”
“Ahhh…!”
Psychologically shocked by the bizarre sight just now, one of them seemed to have let go. He shuddered and held back his friend his. But other merchants seemed to believe that there was still a possibility. Eve asked again.
“So, I ask you one last question. You said it was consensual?”
“Yes, yes! Yes!”
“Okay fuck. You with me.”
Eve grabbed one by the collar and dragged him out. Elsie asked.
“What are you going to do now, Mermaid?”
“Elsie. I’ll attach two knights. Take this bastard and go to the mermaid. Bring the mermaid too if you can. If this bastard thinks he’s suspicious, kill him.”
“Okay. But what should I do to be suspicious?”
“If you do something dirty, I’ll kill you, you know?”
“Did you get your back dirty?”
“Fuck. Just kill me if you’re suspicious. Okay?”
“I get it.”
A merchant was dragged under Eve’s direction. Eve said while looking at the remaining merchants.
“You’re fucking praying.”
That’s how Eve got out of the dungeon. He didn’t intend to do any human rights campaign for mermaids, but it was Eve’s idea that mermaids who could be seen should be saved. While Eve went up to the office and was looking at the papers for a while, one of the knights came up and said to Eve.
He brought a pile of papers and held them out to Eve. Eve accepted the papers and looked at the templar again.
“Madam. Didn’t you say you were sending Elsie, the lord’s bodyguard, and two of our knights?”
“Oh, it was.”
“The merchant is from another territory, and since it is an investigation within the territory, we need to send a request for extradition. Here is the form.”
“The groom didn’t tell me how to write things like this.”
When Eve grumbled, the knights defended Lucius.
“You wouldn’t have expected something like this to happen. What should the merchant be charged with?”
“Selling illegal drugs, arranging illegal prostitution.”
“Yes? But that… I’m sorry to say this, but selling mermaid-related materials is legal.
“I lied about the tonic effect of the drug and got the license from the wrong place. If that’s illegal or am I a fucking mermaid revolutionary?”
Eve was reluctant to add a few annoying charges, such as insulting the lord’s wife, which could cause controversy. In the old days, she would have attacked without hesitation, but it could be said that she had developed her own prudence.
“Ah, sorry. Then, let’s do that first… But are there really no tonic effects on mermaid scales?”
“No.”
Eve said. In my life as a mermaid, I had never seen a single mermaid hunter bring up such a story. Eating mermaid meat makes you younger. There were many superstitions such as having a mermaid’s eggshell to seduce the opposite sex, but it was the first superstition I had ever heard of that mermaid scales had a tonic effect.
“Where did that rumor come from in the first place? I’ve never heard of it. My mom doesn’t even know about mermel glass. To mermaids, scales are just scales. They feel like fingernails and claws to you. What kind of tonic effect do you have by eating them?” Does it happen?”
“Ah, that’s actually that…Isn’t it after he married his wife that rumors spread that our lord is attracting various types of women to his bed?”
After the knights had said that, Eve paused and thought for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Speak well.”
At those words, the knights broke into a cold sweat and continued.
“That’s why rumors circulated in the manor that mermaids had the power to enhance sexual desire. Haven’t you invited the lord to a town dinner before?”
“Uh. It was.”
“At that time, there were people who saw the lord take off the mermaid scales from his forearms while he was washing his clothes. So there was a rumor that if you put mermaid scales on your body or overlap your body with a mermaid, your libido will increase tremendously, so I went to this town.There are some people who secretly want to have mermaid scales.Rumors of this have spread throughout the surrounding territories, so they seem to have thought of grinding mermaid scales in water and selling them. “
“…Crazy bastards.”
Eve was at a loss for words. He was dumbfounded that such a rumor had spread in the manor without his knowledge of her. She didn’t even know that strange rumors had spread because it was normal for people to chat with each other when she went out. The knight pointed to the remaining part of the document and asked.
“And, how should I accept this illegal prostitution arrangement? I’m sorry to say, but there is no law against mermaid prostitution or exploitation of that mermaid…”
“The head of Mermaid Island is my mother, so of course I have to get permission from my mother.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you know? My mother is the supreme leader of Mermaid Island. Now, they must have chosen a new temporary leader. Anyway, mermaids are all following my mother’s orders. But they sell mermaids without my mother’s permission? Fuck, that’s illegal.”
The knights looked at Sellu, who was swimming leisurely outside the window, and persuaded Eve again.
“But humans don’t care about that.”
“The fucking cubs. Then, except that, I just need to catch it with illegal drugs, he, and fraud. What should I write below?”
Eve asked, pointing to the blank. The knights explained again.
“Ah, in that part, you now have to write a more detailed reason and a polite request about why you need to take the criminal with you. And finally, you can take the lord’s seal.”
“It’s fucking annoying, really. Does the groom do stuff like this all the time?”
“Yes.”
“Yes. Then I’ll write it down and send it down. Elsie and I are waiting for you below.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Eve scratched her head, trying to figure out how to write something polite. She didn’t want to create another controversy by writing a declaration of war against the territory or a threat under the guise of a peaceful handover.
Like the last time, it was enough to drag people to the trial and dry people’s blood.
Ira asked.
“Can I help?”
“No. I have to do it alone.”
Eve resolutely refused her Ira request and rolled her pen again. A peaceful manor evening. Everyone was happy except for one man crying in the dungeon.
