Once I join the other mermaids, I tell them that I have found the queen.
They are all depressed when they hear that we can't help them right away, but their faces light up when I tell them that we might be able to get some of the treasure from the mermaid's house in exchange for cash.
If not, we could force them to take it since it was traded illegally, but that is a last resort and we would prefer not to do it if possible.
"Mr. Locke, what will happen to the other captured subhumans if you win the bid for the ...... money?"
Madeline is also concerned about the other subhumans in the warehouse.
We want to help the other subhumans if we can.
Drakul, who told us of the danger we were in, is also .......
But it will be difficult to do so unless we can afford it.
Of course, we will do what we can.
"Of course we will help other subhumans as much as we can. But even if we expose his evil in a town where merchants are so popular, I wonder how much we can find out about him before the day after tomorrow. Will Madeline and the others help us in any way they can?"
"Of course. All the mermaids who can move will help.
We will do what we can.
Let's start by gathering information about the merchants.
Just ...... I look around at the mermaids' faces.
All the mermaids are so beautiful that men look back at them when they see them on the street.
If all these beauties started gathering information on the merchant all at once, the merchant would surely get the information.
On top of that, they might cause a commotion in the town and make it difficult to control the situation.
I don't know what to do. .......
Mr. Locke, can I help you?
"No, I'm just wondering what to do since all the mermaids are beautiful women. I was wondering what to do since all the mermaids are beautiful... I was afraid that if I went to investigate, the merchant would definitely notice that I was investigating.
Mr. Locke just called me beautiful.
"No, he didn't. He said it when he saw me.
What are you talking about? What's an ugly b*tc* like you talking about? Go ask a mermaid to marry you.
The mermaids, who had misunderstood what was going on, began to make a fuss and again things got out of hand.
I thought I told them all, but why do they think it was an individual?
In the meantime, for some reason, Madeline is quietly working her magic.
"Madeline, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Locke, wait a minute. I'm going to shut all these girls up.
Madeline smiles at me and suddenly her character changes.
"If you're all putting on your tinted glasses for Mr. Locke, you're in my way! I'm going to kill you!"
Madeline casts a wind spell on all the mermaids and knocks them into the sea.
"Madeline's not the only one!"
"Yes. Yes. We want to be friends too.
"It's not nice to use magic so soon."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Go to Sun and take care of the mermaids who can't become human and find a sunken ship in the sea and find some precious metals to sell!
Madeline, on her own initiative, returned all the mermaids to the sea.
The mermaids complained, but Madeline was no match for them, and they waved and kissed us as they disappeared into the sea.
Perhaps the mermaids are more lighthearted than we thought.
In the end, May, Madeline, and Lucky were the only ones left.
"Mr. Locke, it's going to be all right. Let's go gather some information on our own."
Madeline is smiling, but the gap between now and then is too scary.
Normal, normal.
I take a deep breath and pretend I didn't see anything.
"Right. We're going to have to split up. Shannon, can you make it?"
"Yes, of course."
Shannon comes out of the box.
"Shannon, I want you to go with Madeline to the stores in town and see if you can find out anything about the merchants. Me, Lucky and May will do some research at the Adventurers' Guild and the taverns.
"Okay. Is it okay if I go with you and May to the ......?
Shannon looks at May with concern.
Well, I guess she's worried after seeing how out of control she was earlier.
"I'm fine. She'll listen to Lucky."
"That's right. Don't treat me like a child forever, okay? Mermaids turn into adults very quickly."
May stroked Lucky's neck as if to say she had become a woman.
Lucky is not averse to May stroking his neck, as if he has grown quite attached to her.
"Shannon and Madeline are both pretty girls, so be careful of the strange men who might get involved with them. If you're in danger, you can run away right away. Well, with Shannon, I'm sure you'll have little or no problem with whoever it is you're with."
"Shannon-san, do you say these things naturally, Mr. Locke?"
"Yes, he says this kind of thing without realizing it, so be careful not to misunderstand him. He probably doesn't think anything of it."
Both of them are complaining to me, but I wonder if there is anything wrong with telling a beautiful woman that she is beautiful. I think it would be rude not to tell a beautiful woman that she is beautiful.
For some reason, Lucky presses his paw on my head and shakes his head.
I don't like the way he poses as if he knows what's going on.
"Anyway, I don't have much time, so try as much as you can."
"Well, I'll meet you at ......, Lucky's a big guy, so after I get some information from him, I'll find Mr. Locke and join you there.
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Let's go.
We all went to the shopping district of the city and then split up.
The combination of Shannon and Madeleine was a conspicuous one, and all the men were staring at the two of them. Neither Shannon nor Madeline particularly minded, but they stood out quite a bit.
Only May was not happy about it and was running her hands up and down over her chest a little, but I pretended I didn't see it.
"Rock, first the Adventurers' Guild?"
"Yes, the Adventurers' Guild. I'll go to the tavern and see if I can hear anything else.
As we were slowly walking down the road, a large carriage came from the other side of the road. It must be a very large trading company, because everyone on the street is giving way.
We didn't want to cause any trouble, so we made way with Lucky, and the carriage suddenly stopped in front of Lucky. We try to avoid the stopped carriage and head for the Adventurers' Guild.
A fat-looking man with curly blond hair gets out of the carriage and suddenly comes toward us. He suddenly throws a gold coin on the ground.
We were dumbfounded, not knowing what he was trying to do,
"Hey, you poor guy! Where did you get this dog? I want this fluffy dog too. So give it to me."
He suddenly started saying crazy things.
"Rock, do you enjoy getting tangled up with weirdos?"
Lucky says this to me, but it's not my fault that I'm getting tangled up this time.
