Chapter 72 10 Necklace
Chapter 72 10. Necklace
The sky outside the ship was bright, and Reina and Renee in the room were all asleep. Only Fisher was still scribbling on the paper with a quill pen, integrating the information he got from Reina, and drawing by the way. He took a look at the full body of a scaled-down crab race, and also studied the strange clothes she was wearing.
According to Reina, the clothes she wore were made by a kind of demi-human called jellyfish. Those jellyfish live on the top of the vortex of the sea. Their whole bodies are transparent, and the clothes they make are beautiful and durable.
There are many demihumans below, but the information I can get from Rena is only this much for the time being, and I can’t get more.
Fisher rubbed his eyebrows, but did not feel very tired, because according to the ecology of undersea sub-human species described by Reina, there are no sub-human species with strong offensive capabilities. The only one that is special is what she said. Royal family, so is it possible that [Son of the Sea] is one of the royal families under the sea?
What Fisher is still curious about now may be the existence named [Lamastia] that the marine demi-race believes in. What kind of creature can be called a god by this group of creatures? Could it be some kind of very high-level life?
For some reason, Fisher thought again of the huge eyes he met in the Southern Continent. That existence had a great connection with the soul of life.
But there were no more thoughts for the time being. Fisher fell on the seat behind him, but happened to see Renee walking out of the room.
"Good morning. Have you been up all night?"
Yesterday, Reina felt sleepy while talking about it. Fisher originally wanted to ask some questions, but she fell into Renee's arms and fell asleep without any defense, looking like a child.
"Well, I sorted out the information I got yesterday. This is my first time meeting a demi-human from the ocean. I have more records."
Renee walked to Fisher's side and did not tease him again this time. She just stretched out her soft hands and gently massaged Fisher's temples.
"As expected of you, you never get tired of the things you want to explore. I just admire that about you. Or rather, I appreciate everything about you~"
Unable to tell whether she was teasing or telling the truth, Fisher closed his eyes quite comfortably and enjoyed Renee's massage. The fragrance on her body was soft and charming, which made Fisher, who was obviously not tired, suddenly feel very... I wanted to rest for a while and just stay in her arms.
"What are you going to do with that kid?"
"Let her go in a while, and give her the pearls we agreed on. Anyway, they were given by the female captain."
"How heartless, people give you gifts with good intentions."
"You are actually very happy that I gave that pearl to Reina, right?"
Renee didn't like the gift that the captain gave Fisher from the beginning. Even if she didn't reveal it, Fisher noticed it. At least they spent a lot of time together and at least had a certain understanding of Renee.
But facing Fisher's straightforward words, Renee smiled evilly and tapped her lips with her finger without answering.
"Am I happy after all?"
"."
Another quiet time passed, and Fisher guessed that she must be quite happy, because she kept massaging herself and never stopped.
During this time that seemed to have stopped, a small figure quietly walked out of Renee's room. Carrying a small leather bag, she sneaked along the wall and leaned toward the door, watching the person warily. Fisher by the window, just when he was about to touch the door handle, Fisher's calm voice came,
"Where are you going?"
"Ugh! I. I.. I want to go... eat something. I'm so hungry, hehe."
Seeing that her escape was discovered, the crab race named Reina shook her pliers in a panic, with a very innocent look that made Renee find it very funny.
"Let's leave after breakfast. I won't go back on what I promised, and I won't break my promise when I let you go."
Fisher stood up from Renee's tenderness. If he stayed in Renee's arms for a long time, he might be charmed by this witch and would not be willing to let her leave him. He stood up and went outside. I asked the waiter to bring some breakfast and prepared to ask Reina to finish her breakfast before leaving.
Reina thought about the delicious food she ate last night again, and her throat involuntarily surged a few times, but she still pretended not to care and put her hands on her hips.
"Okay then, I'll reluctantly stay and have something to eat."
As expected, he was an idiot. It was too unprincipled to just use some food and leave it here.
At the dinner table, Renee drank some milk casually, then held her cheek and looked at Reina who was eating so much, as kindly as a mother watching her child grow, which made Fisher suspicious. Is what she said last night about wanting a child true?
"This is for you, take it."
Fisher handed the pearl from yesterday to Reina as a reward for the exchange of information yesterday. Reina didn't seem to expect that this human being would actually give her the pearl. She took it and was stunned for a long time before putting it into her pocket.
It seems that humans are probably good people.
But Fisher seemed to see through her thoughts, picked up the newspaper next to him, and said without looking up,
"But as a piece of advice, I still advise you to come to the surface less often. If you are caught by other humans, you will not be treated as well as I do here. Locking you up for life is the best outcome. It is more likely that all parts of your body will be removed for careful research. If nothing is found, the cut parts will be sold in the seafood market."
These extremely terrifying words made Reina's face pale. Renee beside her also smiled and nodded, touching her white head.
"Why did Reina run so far to the surface of the sea? Just want to see what is on the sea?"
"Actually, I want to be a businessman!"
"Businessman?"
Reni and Fisher's eyes moved to the petite crab-human in front of them, making her embarrassedly raise the bag in her hand.
"I plan to collect many things that cannot be seen in the sea and sell them to others, such as Hecao or Bailu, so that I can make a lot of money to buy delicious food."
Hecao and Bailu are probably her partners, both of whom are sub-human species in the sea.
The child in front of him unexpectedly has a business mind. If she were not a demi-human, perhaps Saint Nari would be her best home. After all, the current Nari is full of money.
"Your goods should not come from stealing. If you steal, you will be spanked if you are caught."
"This is not without capital."
Reina said embarrassedly, but seemed to have listened to Fisher's advice, "I know, I will not steal other people's things again."
Fisher nodded, and when he saw that she had almost finished eating, he turned his head to look at the ocean outside. How to send her out is still a problem. It seems that he can only trouble Leni to make her do it secretly so that other humans will not find it.
"Little Reina, how are you going back? Swim back?"
"I called a friend to pick me up. I think they are almost there."
"Friend?"
Fisher turned his head to look at the sea next to the cruise ship. I don't know when a huge blue crab appeared there, floating on the sea, revealing only the huge shell of the crab, looking at Fisher's room above.
"What a big crab, it must taste great!"
"Don't eat Haru, it's a friend of our family. If it's eaten, my dad will beat me to death, and then there will be no one to pick him up when he goes to work!"
It turns out that this thing can be used as a means of transportation!
Fisher has learned a lot. It seems that there are still many things about the sub-human settlements under the sea that Rena hasn't told him. However, with the intelligence of an eight-year-old child, she has said enough last night. Don't expect too much. The eight-year-old children in Sannali are still lying on the side of the road playing marbles every day.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Go ahead. Remember to have less contact with humans. This is for your own good."
"Well, I forgot to ask your name!"
".Fisher."
"My name is Renee."
Rene touched her head and made her squint comfortably.
"Hehe, Fisher and Renee, nice to meet you. Ocean Emperor Reina is going back! Goodbye!"
After she said goodbye to Fisher and Renee for the last time, Renee sent her to the sea. She was seen jumping on the huge crab floating on the sea with a huge leather bag on her back, tying a strap tied on the crab's back to her body, and then waving at Fisher's room, the crab drooped upside down, quickly fell from the sea, and disappeared from Fisher's sight.
Fisher took a sip of coffee, but suddenly saw a necklace made of blue crystal on the table. With this exquisite craftsmanship, it should be a human creation.
Wait, this is not something she stole from Alagina, right? She thought she and Alagina were in the same group, and then she returned the stolen necklace to herself in return for the delicious food she had yesterday?
Fisher looked at the necklace, hesitated for a moment, and put it in his arms before Renee came back, so that she wouldn't ask questions again and repeat the story of being given the pearl.
Just to be safe.
The cruise ship continued to move forward. In the remaining ten days, the scenery outside, in addition to the ocean, could often encounter other cargo ships and warships. It was no longer as peaceful as before, because they were about to arrive at the pearl of human civilization, Sannali.
Please read and vote, it is very important to me, thank you!
