Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

Lisa just now looked like a little peacock who only wanted to compare her beauty with her opponent. She raised her head and raised her head. When she heard this, her expression froze. It was hard for her to understand that such a beautiful person would have flaws. She said a little dullly: "What?"

The "feather" that was propped up fell down in an instant, Lisa was a little at a loss, glanced at Mephides, subconsciously bent down to lift the basket on the table, bent halfway and straightened up, and asked: "What about her?" ..."

Klein: "She is my friend's younger sister. I will take care of her for a while."

"Which friend?" Dick asked.

"……next door."

"Sweet?!"

Dick turned to Mephides again, and at first glance, he only felt that Mephides was too beautiful and familiar.

Looking at it now on the premise of "she is Sweet's younger sister", I find that Mephides looks like Sweet in every way, more than that, as if she softened the appearance of Sweet seven years ago. the same.

Dick has never had a good impression of Sweet. He has moved to Port Paloi, but he doesn't leave the door and doesn't take part in any activities around him. As if afraid of being polluted by the residents here.

After experiencing the maracas incident, Dick has a deeper prejudice against Sweet, so he has a lot of eccentricities with Klein.

In his opinion, Sweet ignored the people in Port Paloi at all, and his tone and expression when he refused them to play maracas was like condescendingly dismissing homeless beggars.

Later, Klein stopped going to Sweet’s house, and he was happy for a while. It wasn’t until he learned that Sweet helped Klein send his grandfather to the hospital in the town that his impression of Sweet improved awkwardly. a little.

Dick's expression is quite rich——

On the one hand, he didn't like Sweet, and he also felt that Klein and Sweet couldn't be called friends.

Compared with old friends like him and Lisa, Sweet just happened to be a favor.

On the other hand, it was a fact that Sweet had helped Klein. It was undeniable, so it was reasonable for Klein to help Sweet take care of his sister temporarily.

Dick turned around and embraced Klein, and asked in a low voice, "Then where is his brother now? Is he coming to Port Paloy again?"

Klein has grown a lot taller in the past few years when he was out, and when he was held by Dick, he wanted to lower half of his body to him, and replied, "I don't know."

Dick: "What do you mean you don't know? You don't know that you took in his sister?"

The less people know about the specifics, the better. Klein just said vaguely: "In short, she has an appointment with Mr. Patton. After a while, Mr. Patton will come to pick her up," right?

As soon as Dick's doubts popped up, he couldn't get rid of them. He persisted in asking questions like "Why didn't the appointment come to my house but to yours?".

Lisa glanced over the two whispering men, and finally returned her gaze to Mephides.

The kingdom of Havre extends in all directions, welcomes and sends, and is more developed than many surrounding countries. This kind of development is not only reflected in the economy and urban construction, but also in the thoughts of the people.

In the Kingdom of Havre, the vast majority of people can earn money with their own hands, without the need to sell themselves as slaves. The so-called nobles only have higher status and rights.

Normally, Lisa thinks that she has nothing to do with the nobles, she doesn't depend on them for her livelihood, and she doesn't have to bow down to them.

Klein never brought home any women other than the crew, as everyone who knew him knew.

So when she first saw Mefides, she subconsciously regarded Mefides as an imaginary enemy.

When she learned that Mephides could not speak, her rebellious psychology faded away, and all that was left was pity and sympathy for the beauty.

Lisa bent down and lifted the insulation cloth covering the basket, took out a fish cake wrapped in oil paper, sat down beside Mephides, and handed the fish cake to her.

Mephides took the fish cake, and Lisa said: "Don't worry, this one is not fishy. Now there are many foreigners in Paloi Port, who are not used to fishy seafood, so we specially made this fish cake in our store. It’s delicious just out of the oven.”

Mephides lowered her eyes, took the paper bag, brought the fish cake to her mouth under Lisa's eager gaze, and took a bite.

Viewed from the side, Mephides's golden eyelashes are thick and curled, and the color is light, especially when the light and shadow flicker, as if there are wizard's light spots dancing on her eyelashes.

Lisa met Sweet once, when Klein brought Sweet to eat seafood, she gave more money at the checkout, and she asked Klein to bring the recovered money to Sweet.

At that time, she was only working for her parents, and while entertaining guests, she looked out the window of the store, and saw Sweet in a white shirt sitting opposite Klein.

Except for the first bite, he never touched the food on the table again. When Klein talked to him, he basically answered every question, but the way of answering was very simple, mostly nodding, shaking his head or revealing Smile.

Doesn't look like he's bored or anything, but expresses his dislike for the food in a polite way.

The conversation with Klein was not so much a conversation as it was Swift's cooperation after insight. He gracefully completed a social interaction with Klein within the minimum answer frequency.

How to put it, in Lisa's impression, Sweet cannot be called Klein's friend.

Sweet always gives people a feeling of staying out of things. No matter how lively the crowd is, it seems to be separated from the crowd and watching the panorama of the crowd.

Like in the operating room, the doctor who wears sterile gloves and swears to have aseptic contact with the world has made preparations in advance to withdraw, so he has lived in Port Paloi for several months, and he can leave without leaving a trace when he leaves.

In this way, she recalled the atmosphere she felt when she first entered the door, and when she looked at Mephides, the overflowing sympathy subsided a little.

Glancing at the two people who were still talking at the door, she approached Mephides, and whispered, "You—do you also like Klein?"

and also?

Mephides was carefully chewing the bite of the fish cake that she had bitten off. She paused when she heard this, looked up at Klein's back, and turned her head to look at Lisa.

Lisa's expression was undisguised, Mephides had no choice but to face up to her question, put down the paper bag in her hand, thought about it, and shook her head.

"No, still don't know?"

"..."

Lisa didn't relax. She didn't seem to care about Mephides's answer. She turned her head to look in the direction of Klein and Dick, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I like him very much."

Mephides: "..."

Klein finally sent Dick away, and when he turned around, he saw Lisa sitting beside Mephides, looking at her together.

Dick: "What are you talking about? Why this expression?"

The seemingly invisible undercurrent diffused into the air and disappeared.

Lisa replied briskly: "It's nothing to talk about. I brought the fish cakes I just made today. Have you had lunch yet?"

Klein: "Not yet."

Lisa: "Then I'll cook."

Klein paid close attention to Mephides, seeing that she was fine, so he said to Lisa, "I'll help you."

Dick hurriedly said, "I'll help too!"

Lisa rolled her eyes away at him, and said with disgust: "What would you do? Klein finally came back once, if you disturb me talking to him, you will die!"

Dick: "..."

Dick is shy when facing women other than Lisa, and the kitchen doesn't take him in, so he has to go to the yard to clean the rust on the yard gate.

Klein was also worried that Mephides would be bored, but he didn't expect Lisa to arrange everything in an orderly manner. After learning that Mephides's foot was injured, she put all the things she might need on the side of the coffee table. can touch.

When the house was vacant, Lisa and Dick occasionally came back to help clean the house when they were free. Lisa knew better than Klein where many things were kept.

Seeing Lisa take out a spare clean apron from a cabinet at the door, Klein sighed, "I don't even know if this is my house or yours."

Unexpectedly, Lisa said: "If this is my home, I will be very happy."

"..." Klein glanced at Dick in the yard, shut up and brought this topic up.

Lisa noticed his silence and didn't mind, she unfolded the apron and said, "I'll help you take it."

"I can do it myself."

The two were talking at the door of the kitchen, and Mephides could hear them clearly.

The sofa in the living room is diagonally facing the entrance of the kitchen, and from her perspective, only Klein can be seen——

Klein reached for the apron, but Lisa waved his hand away, hooked it forcefully, and made Klein lean over.

Klein hesitated for a moment, then bent down under Lisa's urging.

Lisa put the apron around Klein's neck, wrapped it around behind him, tied the knot from behind, and finally looked up in the direction of the sofa.

Meeting the eyes of Mephides, she blinked generously without dodging or avoiding.

Mephides looked back as if nothing had happened, and continued to read the book in her hand. After turning a page, she turned it back and pressed the page for a long time without moving again, as if she was distracted.

The author has something to say:

This kid, Sweet, never fell in love with him when he was young. He really didn't know when he was asked about it.
