Chapter 195 – Youth (6)

“Do you like Sellu clothes?”

“Stuffy.”

Sellu put on the uniform I gave her and moved her body around. The mermaid in the academy uniform gave me a more maniac feeling than I thought. A templar passed behind me, and Selu was startedled at the clothes she wore on her, and when she saw me, she shook her head and ran away. As Selu runs away, she points to the back of the knight’s head, she says.

“That person is running away.”

“Leave me alone. There’s no one to say anything to my face. By the way, how about the clothes design? Because I purposely asked for it to be made of waterproof material. It’s okay to swim in it.”

Surprisingly, this worldview had a waterproof material. I also asked just in case, but as if it was natural, the nun listed the waterproof material. Only the lower part of the body was submerged in the water, so the clothes were not wet yet. Sellu said as she unbuttoned her blazer again.

“A mermaid does n’t wear her clothes on her.”

“Before you were a mermaid, you were my woman. I don’t like it when you’re showing off your naked body to other people.”

“It sounds like a flirt. You must have said that to Cieri and Eve too, right?”

“What if the two of you go naked?”

She was in a situation where she strongly warned Elsie not to wear revealing clothes anywhere. As long as they live in this mansion, they are all my women, so I shouldn’t show my skin to others. Selu asked me, wagging her tail her in her pool.

“How is Eve?”

“Are you doing well, right. Why do you ask me when we talk every day? They are the closest mother and daughter in our mansion.”

“Hehe. But, if you talk to me a lot, Eve can’t talk to other people.”

Lately, Sellu has been drawing a line with her Eve her. Eve didn’t seem to feel much of it yet, but I could definitely feel her when I watched her from the side of her. I said.

“You’re drawing a line.”

“Yes.”

Sellu nodded her head. Admitting it so coolly, I was about to fall into the illusion that it was natural. When I nodded her head and looked at her eyes wide, Selu chuckled. She splashed water on my priestly clothes.

“I did laundry today.”

I said that while avoiding it slightly. Sellu stopped spraying and glanced up at me. She asked.

“Is Eve a human?”

It was the beginning of another boring argument. How many times will this be? In the end, the people in the mansion love Eve, but what is Sellu so worried about?

“You are like that again. Eve is human. No one in my mansion thinks that Eve is not human. Sellu.”

“That’s not enough.”

I said.

“What is missing? Again, I can’t make Eve any better than she is now, and it’s hard for other people to accept her. Eve is definitely…”

“It is a criminal who kills people, and that crime is usually difficult to pardon. Right? It doesn’t matter. I’ve been thinking too The reason why I don’t feel that Eve is human. You and the people of the mansion all respect Eve, but the reason why you feel that you are lacking.”

“What is that?”

“If Eve didn’t think of herself as human. The reason is because of me.”

“In the end, it boils down to self-denial. Sellu. I don’t feel comfortable thinking that everything in the world is because of me. On the contrary, it becomes painful.”

“Hehe. I’m not doing this to be comfortable. It’s painful, but it has to be done.”

Sellu took off her school uniform and folded it neatly. Returning to her original form, she held out her school uniform to me. I asked.

“Are you saying you won’t accept it?”

“No. I will keep it as a treasure. Put it in a box.”

“It’s meaningless if you don’t wear clothes.”

“Mermaids don’t wear clothes or anything like that.”

Sellu smiled and said firmly. I knew she would n’t give up on her stubbornness of her. Sellu is now trying to clearly distinguish himself from Eve. She herself is a mermaid and Eve is a human. She drew a line between herself and it was clear that she wanted Eve to know about it.

“The word challenge is beautiful no matter where you put it. So what is your goal?”

“Target?”

“There won’t be a goal that Sellu wants. I really want Eve’s feet to turn into human feet, or I want a child to be born between me and Eve. Something like that.”

“I hope Eve can live happily without me.”

Sellu’s words were like a will. Feeling uneasy, I shook my head and said,

“You sound like someone who is about to leave. Sellu. Where you are is this mansion. I can live happily here.”

“It’s fun here, but it’s not a place for mermaids to live. I like you, and I know you’ve risked a lot to have me. Still, I’m a mermaid. She is the queen of the sea that divides the sea.”

“Eve will be sad if she hears that you want to leave.”

“You are there. I don’t really want to leave. If I can see you again, I’ll see you anytime. Because I am yours.”

“The sea is dangerous. There are hunters who want to catch mermaids, and people in the world are frantic to kill mermaids these days. As the West Coast was ruined, public opinion about mermaids rapidly deteriorated.”

Selu looked at the pool wall. One wall of the swimming pool, which was directly connected to the wall, was damp all year round and left dark water marks. There was a dedicated attendant who cleaned the walls of this pool to keep it from moss and mold. The clean walls meant that Selu was under her care.

“When I was young, there was a huge reef blocking the water at the bottom of Mermaid Island.”

Sellu opened her mouth. She had her eyes fixed on her wall her. I looked at her profile her and focused on her story her. Her red hair her clung to Selu’s pale face her. Selou twirled her own hair with her fingers, she said.

“The reef looked just like a tortoise poking around with her head out. As we hunted and ate the turtles, we also compared the reefs and turtles directly. Among us, we called it Turtle Stone. It was a very hard and thick stone, and the stone acted as a barrier to the current passing through the sea. When we got tired from swimming in the current, we hung on to the stone to rest, or used the gap in the rock to turn our backs on the current.”

Selu rubbed her finger her lightly on her floor tiles. She crackled at the well-polished tiles. Sellu pursed her lips and said,

“One day, my friend and I were playing with a tortoise holding a stone, and the neck part cracked open. My friend, clinging to the stone, was carried along with it by the current and only returned after throwing away his head. The only thing that bothered the turtle stone at the bottom of the sea was the current, and that one current made the turtle stone no longer able to function as a stone.”

“It was dangerous.”

Sellu smiled at my words.

“Hehe. Okay. Right. It was dangerous. I think my life right now is like a turtle stone. Swept away by the torrent of hatred, I killed people, swept away by love, I am resting here. But can it be like this? Living with you is so nice, but on the other hand it scares me. Couldn’t I forget my true self as a mermaid and just stare at you? Like the reef that can no longer be called a tortoise stone, wouldn’t I remain a halfway existence, neither mermaid nor human? And if I were by her side of her, would Eve not consider herself a mermaid? Wouldn’t I become Eve’s current again, and Eve’s identity her as a human being would be broken because of me?”

Sellu’s eyes were looking straight at me. There was always a playful look on her face. She still is. She had a mischievous smile, and in her hand she held water and the determination to play paddle.

I was scratching my head. These difficult questions I could not solve. Sellu’s question was asking about the future, and I was a person who had a lot of work to handle even in the present reality. Sellu’s questions her did n’t bother her, but she could n’t answer them right away.

I picked up the school uniform that Sellu had taken off. She was looking up at Seluga me. I put my hand on Selu’s head her. Her cellu hair her was always wet. She brought her head closer to me and tangled like a cat. I said.

“Do not go.”

Sellu asked. It wasn’t a question of why not. She didn’t answer my request, as if leaving one day was as natural as spring and summer.

“How much do you like me?”

“I like it the most in the world.”

“I hate that cliché.”

“I like the most among the mermaids.”

“That sounds like a flirt too.”

I put down my school uniform again. She pressed her face with both hands. Sellu was startled when I suddenly treated her face her like her toy her, and she struggled.

Hehe…!”

I played with her cheeks like a water balloon and then let her go again. Sellu rubbed her ponytail with a pouty expression. She stretched out her arms and stretched herself at the edge of her pool. And she poked my foot, she said.

“Too bad. I am hurt.”

“It’s because you don’t tell me exactly what you want to say. Sellu. What do you want to hear? I’m a person who doesn’t know how to deal with women’s feelings, so if you don’t tell me properly, I’ll wander. Do you want to see me agonizing in front of Sellu?”

“Hehe. It’s like a real flirt.”

“Strictly speaking, he is a flirt. Selou, you are also having an affair with her daughter’s husband.”

“A mermaid has no concept of a husband.”

“It’s convenient at times like this to distinguish between mermaids and humans.”

“Hehe.”

“Don’t smile and move on.”

Even as I said that, I unknowingly laughed. Selu jumped out of the water and hugged me tight. I sat her down on the floor and hugged her and her as hard as she could. The water on Selu’s body her soaked her clothes her, but that did n’t matter. I asked.

“Sellu. What do you want to hear so much?”

“Well… What would you like to hear…”

The wind blows. The untimely cold wind made Sellu burrow deeper into my body. She whispered to me as she clung to me like a stray cat shivering in the cold.

“I like her second her after Eve.”
