Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

In recent years, Klein especially likes to take walks alone.

If he was going to town by himself, he was happy to walk, both to reduce the time alone at home and to see what had happened to Paloi during the time he was out at sea.

It's different with Mephides.

Not only because she is a girl, but also because he is the neighbor's sister, and now, he also regards her as his own sister.

Naturally, Mephides couldn't be allowed to travel long distances with him.

Klein originally thought of hiring a small elf-powered car in the shopping street. This kind of powered car can only accommodate four people at most. It is not like the elf bus with mixed passengers and fixed stops. It is more flexible and more suitable for private sightseeing or traveling alone .

However, the starting price of small power cars is higher, and they are billed by the hour. Usually, some foreigners who have just arrived will hire a car to visit. Residents of Port Paloi will only choose them when they go to the hospital or when they are in a hurry.

For the current Klein, the extra price of the small power car is nothing, the important thing is to make Mephides more comfortable.

But recently, there have been many foreign ships calling at the port, one of which is a sightseeing cruise ship. A large number of foreigners have landed in the past few days, which has caused tension in the small power car. In desperation, Klein and Mephides had no choice but to choose the elf bus.

"There are a lot of people in the car, stay closer to me, and don't get separated." Klein reminded when he got into the car.

Mephides nodded, stretched out her thin white hands from inside the cloak, and grabbed the hem of Klein's coat.

Klein tidied up casually when he went out. His hair had grown a little recently and he didn't have time to cut it, so he combed it all with hairspray, exposing his forehead.

He was wearing a black coat with double-breasted copper buttons, with shoulder buttons on both shoulders, and two gold threads were sewn on the sleeves and hem of the coat.

If it wasn't necessary, Klein didn't like to dress too formally. The clothes were unbuttoned, and the hem of the clothes was so loose. When Mefidais pulled her up, he raised them slightly, and the edge of the shirt that was tucked into the trousers was exposed.

At that moment, Klein had a strange feeling, as if...he was being relied on.

It was a coincidence that he became the captain of the Pearl. Most of the crew members on the ship were older than him, including Nata.

When he was on the Pearl, everyone would gather together to discuss everything and fight side by side. For him, the crew members were friends and comrades-in-arms.

In the rest of the time, Nata and the others often take care of him like a younger brother, worry about his basic necessities of life, and urge him to get married early. At this time, they will become brothers or siblings.

On the boat, all emotions, including feelings, are released, and anyone who needs something will speak out clearly.

Being so cautiously relied on like now, inexplicably poked a soft spot in Klein's heart——

After Grandpa passed away, it seemed that there was no one or anything that depended on him, and it didn't matter what he did or didn't do.

But now, Mephidess was lonely and fragile, she just tugged him lightly, like a kite that had been floating in the air for many years felt the presence of the thread again, mobilizing the emotions that were about to dissipate in him before.

Klein was stunned for a while, feeling that this sudden touch was inexplicable. He smiled at Mephides's questioning gaze, carefully held her wrist, pushed her forward, and boarded the bus ahead of him.

In order to cope with the increasing number of passengers, the arrangement on the elf bus was changed to two rows with three seats in each row.

The bus has no roof, and Klein was worried that Mephides would fall from the side of the car, so he sat by the window and let Mephides sit next to him.

After the passengers got on the bus, the bus started and flew towards the next stop. When it stopped again, several sailors came up and made a lot of noise, one of them walked straight and sat next to Mephides.

There were many people in the car, and Klein didn't feel anything wrong at first, but felt that the sailors next to him were a little noisy, talking and laughing loudly with his companions across the aisle as if no one was there.

But as the bus turned and stopped at the station, more passengers rushed up, passed by in the aisle, and when the sailors leaned back, Mephides avoided sideways, revealing a little bit of her face covered in the cloak hat.

The companion on the other side of the aisle fell silent for a moment, and winked at the sailor beside Mefidais, and the sailor gradually became quiet.

After a while, he pretended to be looking at the notice board of the site, turned his head, and his eyes paused for a long time on the blond hair exposed from the cloak of Mephides.

His gaze was quite scorching, and there was suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and being at a high altitude, Klein just turned his head and glanced at him lightly as a warning.

The sailor saw Klein's face clearly for the first time since getting in the car, his pupils trembled, as if he recognized Klein, and then looked at Mephides next to him, as if he had thought of something, he looked away embarrassingly. The companions exchanged glances.

After sitting quietly for a while, he began to move closer to Mephides, intentionally or unintentionally.

For a while, he raised his hand to scratch his hair, and for a while, he stretched his waist, and deliberately scraped the hood with his elbow, almost pulling the hood of the cloak off.

When the sailor approached for the third time, Klein suddenly stretched out his hand, touched Mephides shoulder with the inside of his wrist, hugged her to his seat, and said coldly: "If you don't want your Arm, I can remove it for you."

Many passengers around looked over and saw Klein holding a woman in a cloak in a protective posture. Combined with what he said just now, they immediately understood the situation and silently condemned the sailors with their eyes.

The sailor lowered his hand that was still in mid-air, had no choice but to move closer to the aisle, and said angrily, "I, I didn't mean it."

He only said the warning once, and Klein didn't emphasize it again. If the other party really knew him, he should know what would happen next time.

The bus drove into the town station, and the passengers got off the bus one by one. In order to avoid Mephides being hit, Klein stayed with her until the end. I looked back.

Mephides kept her head down, and waited until everyone was gone, then took out a notebook and wrote a line, and tugged at Klein's sleeve to show him:

【They are from last night】

"You mean—"

Last night, the street lights were very dim, and the distance was too far. Klein didn't see clearly the appearance of the two sailors who were chasing Mefidais. Now he realized that the two sailors he met just now were the same as the two sailors last night. sounds alike.

Last night, Mephides said, or should be said to have written, that when she was shopping for food in the shopping street, she was followed by those two sailors, and they chased her all the way to the fork in the road, and she was saved only when she met Klein.

There are many doubts in this, such as how Mephides came to Port Paloi, does she know the exact location of the big house, and why she is still wandering outside so late at night, etc.

But Klein didn't ask in detail, because she felt that Mephides was weak and well-bred, and even if she concealed something, it should be out of self-preservation rather than any evil intentions.

He was just doing his friend's sister a favor, and he didn't need to get to the bottom of it. When Mephides wanted to talk, he could just listen quietly.

Resisting his in-depth inquiry in time, Klein said, "It's okay, with me here, they don't dare to trouble you anymore."

So comforting, what he thought in his heart was that if he had stayed on the boat for a while last night, or if Nata had woken him up earlier and let him go home, Mephides would have been caught by them, and by then...

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't let them go so easily.

The sailor next to Mephides obviously knew him. Although he didn't know which ship they were on, he must have dealt with them before. He had to pay attention to them in the future, find out these two people, and teach them a lesson.
