Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

Klein raised his hand and found that the blond man had stuffed him with a note. He unfolded it and read it in smooth and beautiful handwriting:

[I look forward to spending a wonderful night with you. 】

【Spirit Hotel 7-11】

【Hansen】

Mephides didn't want to peek, she stood beside Klein, glanced at his hand inadvertently, and caught sight of these three lines of words.

Startled, he looked outside the door and saw the blond man standing at the corner of the street with one hand in his pocket, and the corner of his mouth turned up, waiting for Klein's reaction.

Klein didn't understand what it meant the first time. He thought that the other party had given the note to the wrong person, or that someone had asked him to meet at this address. It took him a while to realize what was going on——

There are many men who have tried to flirt with him in various forms over the years.

Some asked someone to pass on a message, some struck up a conversation with him familiarly, some sat across from him uninvited and winked, and some directly started without fear of death.

The most exaggerated one was when the Pearl docked at the port of a neighboring country. When he went to meet the customs officials and returned to the hotel to rest, he found a naked man with long hair lying on the bed!

In comparison, this way of striking up a conversation is considered tactful.

Klein didn't pay attention to the people across the street. He balled up the note with a blank expression and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"Let's go." Klein quickly forgot about receiving the invitation, and said to Mephides.

Mephides didn't respond immediately, but looked in one direction.

Klein followed her gaze, "What's wrong?"

Before he could see anything suspicious, Mephides had already grabbed his sleeve and dragged him down the steps.

The blond man on the street corner witnessed the whole process, glanced at Mephides's back, shrugged nonchalantly, and disappeared among the coming and going crowd.

What to bring Mephides to eat is a problem. Klein likes the boiled seafood at Lisa's house very much, so he took her there, and it happened that he could meet Lisa and talk about where she went.

But he remembered that when he brought Sweet seven years ago, Sweet took a sip and didn't touch anything else, so he didn't like it.

And Mephides probably had the same taste as his brother.

Klein just thought of something.

Probably because of the different regions, just the few times he went to Sweet’s house as a guest—let’s call it a guest—it was obvious that Sweet’s taste was very different from that of the residents of Port Paloy.

Regardless of whether Lisa will help or not, if Mephides lives in Lisa's house, food will be a big problem.

Lisa's seafood cooking shop is very busy. It starts at five or six in the morning and doesn't close until late at night. You can't blindly ask her to spare time every day to open a small stove for Mephides.

Then Lisa might splash him with the bottom of a hot seafood pot and then yell at him.

Klein: "..."

Since Lisa took over the family shop, her personality has become much more aggressive.

Once I saw the scar on his arm, and it made him count for hours, so much so that he walked around Lisa's store when he came to town during that time.

In this way, maybe we should ask Nata for help?

But Nata is a crew member on the Pearl, and when the time comes, she will go to sea with him...

His sleeve was pulled, Klein came back to his senses, and saw Mephides' notebook on one side of his head:

【What are you thinking? 】

Klein said, "I was thinking about what to take you to eat."

[I can eat anything] Mephides raised her face slightly from the cloak.

"Well, you're very obedient." Seeing her obedient appearance, Klein suddenly felt a warm current flow through his chest, making it soft and hot.

This kind of emotion is very strange, maybe... this is the feeling of having a younger sister?

Klein envied Sweet and Dick even more, and at the same time, he also thought of where to take Mephides to lunch.

"Southland Taste" is the most popular restaurant in Paloi Town in recent years.

Paloy Port is close to the Windsor sea area, and it is the westernmost town on the entire continent. The east is the unknown territory, the north is the Warkworth Mountains where the dragons live, and the south is the two magical forests of Wizardry and Fog.

Klein led the fleet to the Northern Kingdom. Most of the food there was rough and heavy, which was a big challenge for the crew who were used to eating light and delicate seafood.

In contrast, the exquisite and meticulous cooking methods of southern countries are more popular in western countries.

Nata and the others are frequent visitors here.

When the Pearl arrived at Paloi Port in two or three months, she made an appointment with the sisters on board to come here for a big meal after a day of shopping at unknown chain stores, and then go to the hot spring club to soak in the hot springs .

One or two years ago, Klein was forcibly brought here to eat several times. The taste of the food was really good, but the various table manners were too troublesome, so he would rather go to Lisa's shop to eat boiled seafood.

When Klein and Mephides entered "Taste of the South Country", they found that the atmosphere in the store was a bit tense.

The waiters in the store ran quickly in the corridor holding silver trays with their heads down, and someone was cleaning the floor.

The guests at the surrounding tables can also lower their voices when speaking, and beware of causing any bad things by making discordant voices.

Even the welcome guests at the door said "Welcome" in a low voice, and then lowered their voices, persuading: "Sorry, something happened in the store just now, if you don't have to eat here, I suggest you Choose another restaurant."

Why is it so unfortunate?

Klein searched for other dining places in his mind, when suddenly, a sound of glass shattering sounded from a certain private room in front.

Then, a thunderous fury came out: "It's Klein again! I caught him, and I will definitely grab his head and kick him into the sea!"

The waiter lowered his head and said reluctantly: "There are a few pirates eating here, they..."

Klein had already recognized who the shouting guy was. He had a full beard and thick black hair on his arms and chest like an orangutan. His real name was unknown, but he called himself Captain Hook.

——Because his right hand, like the legendary great pirate, was broken and fitted with a black lacquered iron hook.

Like the great pirate, it means he is not a pirate.

In fact he was the captain of a transport fleet like Klein.

Four years ago, his fleet was authorized by the neighboring royal family to transport goods and materials along the way. Many countries opened their ports to him and reduced taxes. He was once the most beautiful captain in the Windsor waters.

But he was too greedy. In addition to royal rewards and fleet dividends, he also tried to get a share of the goods on the ship.

When he returned to the royal family, he repeatedly falsely reported the loss ratio of the goods during the transportation process.

As for the goods damaged by false reports, they were all turned into gold coins and entered his pockets.

At that time, Klein's fleet was gradually rising, and Hooker's behavior finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the royal family. The royal family withdrew the honorary title awarded to him, and instead offered an olive branch to Klein.

Without the endorsement of the royal family, Hooker repeatedly ran into obstacles at the customs of various countries, the fleet scattered, the crew resigned, and the fleet he led quickly fell from first-rate to third-rate.

Since then, Klein has become a thorn in Hook's side.

But this is only one-sided hatred. Klein felt that it was a waste of time watching him for a second, not to mention that he was still bringing Mephides.

Klein nodded at the waiter, and when he was about to turn around to go out, the door of a box was opened, and the sailor who was sitting next to Mephides on the bus came out and shouted, "Where is the person? Hurry up to Mr. Hook—"

When he saw Klein, he instantly looked like a chicken being pinched by the neck, his voice stopped abruptly, and he hurried back to the box.

Before Klein had time to leave, he heard thumping footsteps, and a hairy hand holding a wine bottle slammed on the wall outside the door. The huge Hook squeezed out from the box, covered in bloodshot eyes. His eyes were red--

"Where are Klein and that bastard!"
