Chapter 41 – Evendo (7)

“What is this?”

“Yes. This is a device I have prepared for that damn Eve bitch to use if she gets caught.”

After the news spread that I had captured Eve, the object the guild leader took out of the mansion was something that was difficult to describe precisely from my imagination alone. A large glass tank had a lot of long tubes and a pump connected to the tubes outside the tank.

I couldn’t figure out how the hell to use this device. In response to my question, the head of the union said with a very proud face.

“I want you to explain a little more precisely.”

“Yes. We have prepared this item to warn against the reappearance of vicious pirates like Eve. To avenge our grudge. It’s a so-called stuffed device.”

“A taxidermy device?”

“After anesthetizing and locking the subject in this glass tank, we use this special syringe that we use to completely harden the muscle. No, you can’t survive.”

“Then you just kill them.”

“No. Even with this injection, Eve will never die. I’ve prepared a pump over there for that.”

The vendor pointed to a pump outside. I was also curious about what the pump was for. The merchant pressed a button attached to the bottom of the tank, and the pump started operating by itself. He briefly showed himself repeatedly pumping at high speed, then the merchant stopped pumping again and introduced it.

“That pump will circulate blood through Eve’s body instead of a heart. Nutrients will be injected directly into her veins, and she won’t be injected into her brain, so she’ll be able to have accidents. Literally, she’ll be a living statue. As long as we are alive, Eve will become a statue here and live reflecting on her heinous life.”

Isn’t this really an idea only devils would do? I was a little surprised by the way the execution was far more brutal than I thought. If they were youngsters capable of such ideas, it seemed that Eve would have been the correct answer.

“But will it last long?”

“I caught a mermaid before and tested it, so it’s okay.”

They weren’t some cubs. I shook my head and looked at the mermaid I had brought with me. The mermaid’s face was white and she was staring at me and the head of the union. There was no way he could keep his sanity when he heard the news that he was the head of Mermaid Island and that he was going to be executed in this way.

“Isn’t it? Isn’t it really like this?”

The mermaid trembled and whispered to me in a low voice. If it had been said that he would rather kill, he might have accepted death resolutely. However, even for a mermaid who was quite old, this situation seemed terrifying. If it goes wrong, it will cause a riot here. The head of the union asked with a curious expression when I brought a tied-up mermaid instead of Eve.

“But you brought a mermaid, not Eve. What kind of a mermaid…”

The mermaid looked at me with a desperate expression. I was conflicted for a while. Come to think of it, I had to get along well with Eve from now on. But when I sold the mother mermaid, she couldn’t hear to communicate with me. No matter how legitimate it may be, Eve couldn’t have such a logical thought. The death of a family member always preceded emotions over reason.

Not just killing them, but stuffing them and using them as street landmarks, I never knew when Eve would try to stab me. After thinking about this and that, I came to the conclusion that it would be appropriate to take both Eve and the mermaid with me.

“Ah, this is the mermaid I brought in for the investigation to testify.”

Yes, Eve and the mermaid here committed a sin so great that it wouldn’t be strange to turn it into a mystical mystery of the human body, but still, stuffed animals alive felt a little over the line. If he knew that his mother had gone through something like that, he could have come back later with a knife to kill me even if he was mean to Eve.

“Ah, I see. By the way, then, what will Eve do…”

Eve was currently imprisoned in the dungeon of the guards, tied with several layers of chains. Now that I’ve caught her, I can decide what to do with her. The head of the union was eager to use this stuffed tool as soon as possible to make her Eve a landmark in the trading city.

After clearing my throat, I opened my mouth with a voice like a religious person.

“Reflection is very important for all criminals. I heard that Eve is a mixed race of a human and a mermaid, and she was abused by humans starting in the slave market. There is also a responsibility.”

“Uh-that’s what you mean…”

I roughly explained the Eve story in the character settings. The head of the union seems to have roughly understood what I was trying to say. He made a pitiful expression, then twisted his face and spoke to me.

“Well, then, then what will happen to my innocent wife? My wife, who was kidnapped and raped by pirates for no reason! The spirits of the mermaid hunters! The adventurers who tried to subjugate the pirates and collect rewards! The hearts of women who have become ruined. What should I do to soothe him!”

Honestly, it wasn’t my part-time job. Apparently, she caught mermaids and experimented on them, so it was clear that Eve castrated people with her appearance her and that, and this baby had a fair share of it.

I shook my head and put on a sad expression.

“That’s right, I don’t have anything to say. President. But, boss. Pirate Eve has lived a lifetime of murder, persecution, and discrimination without even being given a chance to reform. Isn’t that the way religion should go ?
Everyone has the right to be loved. Religious people exist to give people a chance to be loved.”

“Lord!”

The head of the union looked at me with a more desperate expression and shouted. But there was nothing the union leader could do. It was my right to hand the criminal over to the city or take him and eat him. Even the mermaid I brought to the head of the union was, strictly speaking, my possession that I had hunted and caught.

“Chief, we must love each other. Everyone has a chance to go out into society and gain a new life. As the head of the Southern Priest of Daecheonsin Church and the highest recipient of the operation to capture Eve, I will lead the recruits of Eve.”

Finally I drew a line. Having said that, there was nothing wrong with the union president and his friends. The mermaid stared at me tied up and opened her mouth.

Hehe.”

Are you hiccuping?

Hero A.A. Was preparing to leave the city with a few of her female crew members. She looked at me and waved her hand with a broader smile. I also waved her hand her at her greeting her and then asked her.

“Hero, where are you going?

“Oh, I definitely have to go see Erina, but I’m more urgent with this right now.”

“If you say this is…”

I was looking through the girls. The sailors still couldn’t feel the fact that they had escaped from Eve. The hero seemed to be thinking of taking these women back to their hometown.

Trembling, they looked alternately at the hero, me, and the mermaid I was holding. One of the sailors pointed her finger at the mermaid and said,

“I-I have to kill that mermaid! It’s a real crazy bitch! I-I just grinned while watching that bitch go after my husband… Sailors who tried to run away swam to the end and killed them…”

The mermaid twisted her head slightly and she stared at the sailor. At that gaze, the sailor screamed and hid behind the hero. The hero covered the sailor and said to the mermaid.

“Are you reflecting on your sins?”

“Hehe… Are you reflecting?”

The mermaid stuck out her tongue and asked the warrior. It was an expression that neither the warrior nor the sailors could understand. The warrior asked.

“What are you reflecting on?”

“Hehe… The mermaid hunters killed my children. They are all sold into slavery, sold into prey, and all die. Sometimes mermaid skeletons floated to my island. We are all intelligent beings just like you. ,Why are you behaving like this? What do I have to do to survive there? Do you think I can survive sober? If I had come to the port and said, “Please don’t kill us,” Would you guys have saved me? He must have had his head cut off because he was the boss.”

“Well, what does that matter! I didn’t trade mermaids… I was just on a trip! I was just on a trip until I got caught by your crazy daughter and did some fucking shit!”

“Is that so unfair?”

The mermaid asked again. Said the sailor nodding his head.

“Yes! It’s unfair, you fucking bitch!”

“Hehe…But what does that have to do with me. Like you said. We didn’t attack humans first. We were just mermaids living peacefully, you guys didn’t care. You just accepted your husband’s death. Come in Misfortune always strikes without warning. You just met the storm.”

“What…”

“Storm. Huh? I’ve met an inevitable storm. Everyone is bound to encounter a storm when they embark on a dangerous sea route. How long do you think humans can rule this land? How far do you think they can go while treating different races as slaves? “Do you think only the three of you, an elf, a human, and a dwarf, can live happily ever after? Evangeline was right. I should have just done what she said.”

“I beg your pardon?”

A strange name seemed to have just come out of the mermaid’s mouth. The mermaid looked at me blankly and asked.

“Why? What are you curious about?”

“Evangeline? Did you just say Evangeline?”

“That’s right. Evangeline. That’s the name of the wizard who came to Mermaid Island. He called himself Evangeline. He moved us mermaids to another residence. He offered to wipe out this city to give us strength, but he refused. There’s no end to that.. To be honest, this was more fun.”

When we moved on to a serious topic, the hero made a puzzled expression. At that time, the hero seemed to be unable to remember the name Evangeline as he was wandering between death and near death. I didn’t have to explain thanks.

“Sure. See you next time. Priest.”

“Goodbye, warrior.”

I waved my hand at the warrior. The mermaid lay flat on the cart asking for water.

I was lost in thought while watching this mermaid. It gave me one more reason to take the mermaid with me. Because the name Evangeline popped up once again.
