He put the pistol happily in my arms, as if it were a trophy.
I couldn’t help but wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth with my sleeve. Then I checked the gun and saw that there wasn’t a single bullet inside.
“Let’s go and buy some slippers.”
I led him back to the convenience store. The boy cowered in the corner in terror. “Don’t bite me,” he begged. “Please…”
It seemed that the boy had seen the mermaid teaching the fat man a lesson.
I put the gun down on the bar and said a little helplessly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let him hurt you.”
“Is there… something wrong here?” The boy pointed at his brain.
I looked troubled. I didn’t know how to answer his question. Was I supposed to say that this tall gentleman didn’t actually belong to a human but to a kind of fish species?

“If only you’d shown up earlier.”
Thinking of the past, I leaned against his arm sadly.
The moment we entered the house, the rain outside suddenly became heavier.
The raindrops hit the window hard. It sounded very noisy.
But the mermand didn’t seem to hear it. As soon as we returned, he started pacing back and forth in my room.
He would touch this and that. He was extremely curious about everything.
A loud thunderclap from the sky startled me.

I’d been afraid of lightning since I was a kid, especially when I lived alone. I was so scared I couldn’t sleep at night.
