Chapter 134 – The Monmus Family – Second (2)

“It’s just water.”

Said Soya, shaking the liquid in the flask around. She handed the water bottle back to Elsie with a disgusted expression. Pom, scratching her head, seemed unsure of what he was saying. She said, examining the residue left in the flask.

“Strictly speaking, it’s a mixture that is thicker than water, but honestly, at this concentration, it’s just water. I picked it up with the detection tool used in the Mage’s Tower, but there were no abnormal reactions, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”

“It’s hard to say. Wizard.”

“It’s okay to eat.”

The Knights translated Soya’s words to Elsie. Elsie studied the water bottle with her eyes closed. Her eyes could see tiny grains dispersed in the water. It was finely spread with very small powders, as if something like pepper or ash had been burned.

“They called these grains what glass.”

“It was mermel glass. Does the wizard know?”

“Mermelglass? Well, I think I’ve heard of it… I don’t deal with stuff like this, so why don’t you ask Mr. Sellu? As for water, it might be okay to ask a mermaid. “

“Ah, then Miss Elsie. Can you ask the mermaid some questions? I’ll go to the dungeon and torture them first.”

“I get it.”

The knights were very awkward with Sellu walking around the pool. Selou herself didn’t seem to be doing anything wrong, but it was hard to talk with her while laughing, knowing that she was a murderous mermaid who had been killing people. So, the knight decided to torture the criminals, and entrusted the water to Elsie.

Sellu waved her hand at Elsie, who was walking straight towards her. Elsie also stopped in her place and waved her hand her.

“Hehe.”

“Big mermaid. I have a question.”

“A big mermaid. My name is Selu.”

Sellu wondered why, with two of her mermaids, she did n’t think of Elsie’s name her for her wealth her. She wondered if there was anyone Elsie called by name. Lucius, who can be said to be the most humanly close, was also a ‘priest’, Sieri was a ‘nun’, and Eve was a mermaid.

When Sellu asked to be called by her first name of her, Elsie shook her head.

“Then old mermaid.”

“…Make me a big mermaid.”

Sellu found herself comfortable giving up. She was Sellu, and she had to remember her name her. After a few days, she was sure to change it to something grotesque, like El Luna or Yalu.

“There are many things I want. There are more things I am curious about. I am curious about this water.”

“What is this?”

“I do not know either.”

Sellu looked at the glass bottle Elsie held out. Even when she squinted and looked around, it was just water. Sellu looked at the water over the glass bottle for a while, then looked at Elsie again and asked.

“Can I try it? Isn’t there something strange?”

“He said you could eat it.”

“Where…”

Selou opened the lid and dipped her finger in her water and licked it lightly. It didn’t seem that the frowning and smacking of the mouth of her was appetizing. Sellu wrote her impressions of her and expressed her impressions of her.

“It’s bitter, it’s stinky… Something like grains sticks to your mouth. What is this?

“Even the big mermaid doesn’t know.”

“I don’t know. Who asked me to ask in the first place? I’m not a water taster.”

“If the wizard were a big mermaid, he said he might know.”

“It’s prejudice. Hehe.”

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Sellu, she took another sip into her mouth her. Selu, who gargled and swallowed in her mouth her, crumpled her face again.

“I don’t know. I think it smells familiar.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Oh. It’s a mermaid. I was curious about the mermaid.”

Selu put the water bottle on the edge of the pool and pushed it toward Elsie. Elsie reached out and picked up her bottle, then she passed it to Eve. Eve looked around the bottle and he asked.

“What is this? Did you even get pool water?”

“I don’t know. Merchants were selling it, so I got it suspiciously.”

“It looks like water? What’s fishy?”

“They said that mermaids shouldn’t eat it, and… “

“…I ate something like that?”

“The wizard said there was no problem. He said it was just water.”

As soon as she heard that, Selou, who was taken back, muttered, and Elsie corrected it. Eve opened the water bottle here and there, then asked again.

“What would have happened if I knew it was just water. What are you curious about?”

“They said there was some material in it, but I don’t know what it was. I think it was… Glass.”

Selu, who had just taken another sip of water, made a strange expression at her words.

“Glass? It sparkles in the water. Is it a piece of glass?”

Even after she said that, Selou held her own neck with her embarrassed face of her. Eve pondered the words, then she asked Elsie.

“Hey, isn’t that a mermel glass?”

“Right. That was a similar name.”

“Huh? What is it? Do you know what it is?”

“Mom, don’t you know Mummel Glass?”

Eve looked at Sellu with a rather bewildered expression. Sellu shook her head. Eve said, looking at her illness with a puzzled expression.

“Our scales are Mermelglass. That’s what the merchants call them.”

“Hehe…”

Selu’s face her went white, then turned blue again. She dived deep into the pool, crossed over to her side her, and began to vomit its contents into the backyard.

Hehe…”

“The big mermaid. Poisoned.”

Eve said, looking at Sellu with a pitiful expression.

“No. That’s just because I’m in a bad mood.”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with it. The big mermaid was always annoyed that scales would fall when out of the water. One or two scales would float in that pool, but why does it make me feel bad?”

“It feels bad when someone else’s fingernails go down their throats while drinking water.”

“Understood.”

After Elsie said that, she looked at Eve again. Eve was still looking at the elixir. Eve asked.

“You, but where did you get this?

“I got it from a water seller. He said that eating this would make him feel better.”

“…Sold those things to you?”

Eve asked, staring at Elsie. Elsie nodded her head and pointed to her dungeon her.

“Yes. It’s a medicine that makes you feel better. I bought it for a mermaid, but I didn’t expect it to contain mermaid scales. I’m sorry. They’re all locked up in the dungeon.”

“No, it’s just scales, I don’t know if they are real mermaid scales, and they could have been ground into anything, so it doesn’t really matter… They’re bastards who sell water… “

Eve hated prostitutes. Because he knew very well how mermaids die when they are taken to brothels. In the meantime, she was imprisoned in the dungeon, so Eve could hear her hum her.

“Are you sure you’re a water dealer?”

“Yes. I saw them selling water in the town square.”

“You did that in the plaza too? Hey, these bastards risk their lives. Don’t you know that if you do business without permission, you won’t end up with a fine?”

“Is the water business that bad?”

“Of course. They’re very fucking assholes. People who sell water draw mermaid blood and use it as a product. They also sell beastmen as products.”

“Su, the beasts…”

Elsie was so started that she raised her ears and tail and growled. In her mind her, images of vicious merchants bottling and selling tiny prisoners were pictured.

“They’re too cruel! As humans, you shouldn’t do that!”

Elsie screamed in excitement. Sharpening her claws, she glared at the prison, her eyes flashing.

“Yeah. Fuck. Of course. From now on, kill all those who sell water, okay?”

“…Still, each person’s circumstances are different, so I think we should investigate and kill them a little.”

Elsie put her claws back in and shook her head.

“What the fuck am I supposed to be if you say that?”

Eve grumbled and she opened the dungeon door. Elsie was belligerent, but there were many parts of her that were subtly cold. In the dungeon, two men were trembling. Her face was swollen, as if she had already been beaten badly by the knights. Eve whistled once to get attention, then spoke.

“Hey, what kind of Amy Avie is chewy fucking bastards, so do you do water here?”

Eve said that, looked up at her and spoke to Elsie.

“Can’t you hear me?”

“I didn’t say that out loud.”

Eve pointed to the knights and said.

“Yeah. Good. You did a good job too. I’ll do it, so go.”

“Ah, yes. I see. That…”

“I know, I know, they’re fucking water vendors.”

“Yes?”

“What.”

“Oh, no.”

The knight member wondered if the meaning was different from the water merchant he knew, but he didn’t bother to ask. I thought Elsie would have explained it well.

The two merchants were now trembling with fear. It was a mistake from the beginning of entering the territory by mistake. I thought it was an Amur manor, so I started a business, but it was a peta manor. The fact that Peta Lucius’s wife was a mermaid was a very popular story in the South.

I couldn’t imagine what kind of harm I would get if I sold water from grinding mermaid scales in such a peta estate, so I tried to escape as quickly as possible. However, he was caught by a knight and a prisoner who were suspicious of it, and now the two are locked up in a dungeon.

“Sah, save me… We really don’t know anything.”

“Don’t know? You don’t know?”

Eve asked. The merchants nodded. They were struggling to convince Eve.

“Well, really. We are just merchants. Yes? Good merchants. In the first place, trading in mermaids is not legal in other territories. If you let go this time, we will never approach you again. “

Eve said coldly, shaking her head.

“What the fuck. If you’re selling water without permission in someone else’s territory, you’ll have to dig.”

“Huh? Mu, water vendor? Oh no, wait a minute! Misunderstanding! Really misunderstanding!”

“Fuck you bastards. It’s not for you to decide if it’s a misunderstanding or not. Do you understand?”

“Ah, no, but we’re like that! That!”

The two men looked at Elsie, who was next to Eve. Elsie replied with an innocent face that said she knew nothing.

“It’s a water business. I saw it with my own two eyes.”

“Yeah, look. There’s a witness here like this, but they’re playing the ball again. They’re not just water vendors, are you fucking making and selling aphrodisiac with mermaid scales? You guys today…”

“Ha, we agreed!”

Eve stopped moving at the man’s cry. The other man looked at him with an angry expression. She said while the man was crying.

“Ha, it means that we agreed. The scales were removed under an agreement with the mermaid. If we die, there will be no one to feed the mermaid. I, please, please, if you just let me live…”

“Look at this?”

Eve changed his mind as he was about to draw his sword her. Where should I listen to the story?
