Chapter 147 – Mermaid Bride (1)
It was raining outside the window. Eve sat in her office chair and watched the rain brush the windows. The image of Yeongji in the rain was melting like a watercolor painting sprinkled with water. The stream of water running down the window covered the window frame and poured down in a weak stream.
Selu was outside her pool in the rain with her head up. Opening her mouth slightly, she tasted the water or ran her hair down and she smirked. Sellu waved her hand at the window of her office as if she were telling Eve to come out, but Eve immediately closed the open window. Sellu giggled as if she liked it better that way.
Eve ran her hand through her curved sword, checking the blade. This curved sword, which had been with Eve all her years, was the item Eve had brought with her after killing the sailors on her first attempt to escape to Mermaid Island. Her handle her was polished to a shine, and her blade her, which fed on her blood her, always remained sharp.
As soon as Aira entered the office, the frightening scene made her tingling sensation. She brought the teacup and almost lost it. Eve belatedly noticed that her Aira was in, straightened her head again, and raised her pen to focus on her papers on her.
Ira was uncomfortable with this situation and was about to die. A few days ago, Eve’s expression was not very good after she arrested two merchants who said they were ‘selling water’. She said that Elsie was going to pick up her mermaid, but she went back because she hadn’t heard back yet.
“Eh, Mr. Eve?”
“Why?”
“That… Are you in a bad mood?”
“When it rains, I think of the old days.”
Eve clicked her tongue. She was a child and she didn’t want to ask what the old days were. Eve shook her head because her old days her were usually stories of her own family, or of being abused as a child. Ira expected her story to be that Eve’s parents her died when it rained on her, or that Eve got hit a lot on her rainy day.
“But why doesn’t Elsie come like this? How many days has it been?”
“It’s been about four days, right?”
“Isn’t she supposed to arrive yesterday, enough time to arrive?”
“Are you concerned?”
“It’s because I don’t know what kind of swearing I will get from my groom if Elsie dies. Why?”
Eve was the kind of person who couldn’t honestly say that she was worried. Aira let out a sigh of relief as she confirmed that even behind her cruel nature her, she still had bits of her humanity left behind. Eve yelled if she did n’t like her sighing her.
“What is it? If you have something you want to say, say it. Don’t sigh like a motherfucker.”
“Don’t you think you’ll hit me if I tell you…”
“Did you think it was right?”
“Ah, that’s not like that! So!”
Ira evaded her words in embarrassment, and Eve stood up, putting her knife beside her and untangling her hand her. Ira said she had played a strange joke to Eve a few days ago, and after one night she was hit again, her fear of Eve was in full swing. Eve still had the bitter aftertaste of that joke, and it was just annoying to see her Aira walk.
-Mr. Eve. Do you know why Ms. Eve gets her clothes washed?
– Why are you getting good?
– Because he ‘dresses’ well!
-…Fuck bitch
Eve raised her finger up, shuddering at the low joke that came up again.
“You motherfucker. What? Do you ‘wear’ clothes? Huh?”
“Ah, ahh! Ah, it hurts! Now, wait a minute! If I get hit one more time like that, I’ll really die! You’ve got a bump here! You hit me the last time, so why are you trying to hit me again!”
“You made me think of some fucking nasty thoughts. I’m going to make you a very unicorn today, so hold your head up, fuck you.”
“Ah! Aaaaa!”
“Yayaya, don’t scream. I haven’t hit you yet. Huh?
Knock Knock Knock
A knock rang out in the midst of the scuffle. Eve lowered her hand from chewing gum and looked at the door. I heard the voice of the knights.
“Mrs. Peta. The lord’s bodyguard, Elsie, and other contingents have returned.”
“Okay?”
Eve forgot about hitting Ira, grabbed her clothes her and left the door. Ira let out a sigh of relief as she clutched at her own skull, which had just been smashed.
It was raining. Elsie was standing in front of the gate in the rain. Her knights her by her side were concerned about her armor her getting wet in the rain. They didn’t care what Elsie’s clothes her were clinging to now, or what the wet leather belt her smelled like. They didn’t care what would happen to the mermaid they brought.
This was because if the rainwater got on the armor, it had to be wiped off again. The faces of the drivers were not good at the thought that the terrible maintenance time was coming. Right behind the knights, a mermaid was carried on a cart, wagging its tail. She glanced at the pool in the distance, and tried to poke her tail with her finger at Elsie’s rustle her.
“Don’t stab me in the ass. It’s unpleasant.”
“Ah. I’m sorry.”
At Elsie’s immediate reaction her, the mermaid curled up her fingers and hid herself back in her cart. Elsie didn’t like the rain. No, most beastmen didn’t like rain. If the fur was soaked, it was uncomfortable to dry it, and if it was not dried properly, it smelled strange. It was also uncomfortable to feel that her whole body her, from her hair to her tail her, was clinging to her. Elsie muttered, frowning her face.
“Mermaid. Not coming.”
“Yes?”
“Not you. Mermaid.”
“I-I’m a mermaid too.”
“You don’t know the mermaid. What I’m talking about is the mermaid you know.”
“Ah yes…”
The door of the mansion opened. Eve looked for her umbrella on the porch and just walked out, clicking her tongue. The captain of the knights who came out after me was started and took an umbrella and followed me. Eve shook her hand and walked into her downpour. Seluga saw Eve coming out and waved her hand her. Eve glanced at her cellu and returned her gaze to Elsie.
“You must have suffered.”
“It’s nothing special. You shouldn’t be persecuted for being of a different race.”
“You’re a real fucking good bitch, you know?”
“I do not know.”
Eve patted Elsie on the shoulder, told her that her knights had suffered too, and then let her all go. Elsie tried to enter her mansion as if she had waited, and Ira, who was waiting in front of the door, stopped Elsie from doing so. Elsie said to Ira, her face her welling up with her slight annoyance.
“I have to wash quickly. It’s embarrassing.”
“You still have to wipe off the water and mud.”
Elsie politely nodded as Aira held out her towel. She brushed off the moisture from her hair like giving a puppy a bath and then started to wipe her feet her as well. Elsie leaned against the railing on her front porch with her embarrassed expression and put her foot out of her.
Eve looked at it, then moved her gaze to her mermaid. The mermaid opened her eyes wide, pointed at her, her Eve, and opened her mouth. Eve checked the mermaid’s face as she wiped her face in the rain. It was because she was somehow familiar with the mermaid’s face of her.
Eve wasn’t the only one. The mermaid also looked familiar with Eve’s face her. She cried.
“This, Eve?”
“Anne?”
“Eve? Why are you doing this here? You, were you captured by humans too? Huh? Did those ignorant humans finally kidnap you too?”
“Ann? That’s Anne? Why are you here? Huh? We were supposed to meet on the island, right?”
Eve couldn’t help but be embarrassed. Because the mermaid in front of her was a mermaid Eve knew. When she lived on Mermaid Island, she was a mermaid she knew each other. Eve took Ann’s hand and ran to the pool. Atop the rattling cart, Ann exclaimed in surprise.
“Now, wait a minute! Wait a minute Eve! I’m dizzy! Huh?”
“Mom! Look who’s here!”
Selu, who was in her rain at the pool, nodded and looked at her Eve. She squinted her eyes at the mermaid being carried behind her her Eve her, then smiled again and exclaimed.
“Ann!”
“Three, Mr. Sellu? Why is Mr. Sellu…”
Ann looked confused. Sellu opened her arms and hugged her Ann once, then she gave her a pat on the back of her. Eve asked, placing her hand on her shoulder her, as if pleased with her her Anne her.
“Hey, fuck, were you the mermaid that the merchants ‘protected’? The fucking world is so small.”
“Protection! Those people…They never protected me! They’re really strange people!”
Ann grumbled, shaking her head. Eve remembered the Gokdo in her office her. Eve, who was thinking about what to do with the merchants still trapped in the dungeon, decided to forget about that for now. Now that she had met an old relationship after a long time, it was time to unwind. She said as Eve lifted her cellu with one hand and pulled Anne’s cart.
“Let’s go inside. Let’s go in and talk about the old days, huh? Let’s talk about how you’ve been lately.”
Aira was waiting with her towel. Eve, Seludo, and Ann were able to enter her mansion only after wiping her hair and fins cleanly. Ira cleaned the first floor of the mansion, so she had nothing to say to Eve either.
The three mermaids gathered in the restaurant on the first floor started talking about their current situation. After Eve was defeated by her ‘groom’ her during her piracy her, she told her story of getting married, and Anne adored her, flapping her fins her.
“Oh, that’s great! I knew you’d do well with a human. Honestly, I also had that… Human being.”
“There were people who were connected?”
“Hehe.”
Selu grinned as she sipped her tea. Anne waved her fins even more enthusiastically in response and told her story of her. Flipping through her hair, she opened her mouth.
“No, well… I’m not that special. If I had to put it that way, I’m not a human, but a half-elf…”
“It’s interesting. My husband is also a half-elf. Is it common to be a half-elf?”
“Well. I don’t know about the elven ecosystem either.”
Half-elf, I thought it was a funny coincidence. Anne blushed and brushed her hair.
“Well, you rescued me from being killed by a beastman in the capital arena, and that… Did you passionately confess? That I become a beast when I see you? Kyaaak! I don’t know! Anyway, while he attacked me right away like this…!”
“Write…”
Eve and Sellu faced each other. This felt a bit odd. It was because the human image that I had heard a lot about was drawn in front of my eyes.
“Anyway, we broke up after making love in the alley like that. His name His… Maybe Lucius… Did you say that?”
Eve’s expression darkened. Sellu giggled like he was having fun. Anne looked at them alternately as if she didn’t understand, then she asked.
“What, what did I say wrong?”
“Did I tell you the fuck my husband’s name is Lucius?”
“Oh.”
Anne covered her mouth. And after thinking deeply, she opened her mouth.
“Please take good care of me, Mrs. First.”
“Fuck it.”
