Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

you?

Klein didn't react at the first moment, and after a pause, he realized that Mephides might be asking about him and Lisa, and then he laughed and said, "Of course not."

Mephides's fingers pinching the edge of the book loosened indistinctly, but she didn't let go completely. The book was still standing on her lap, staring at Klein for a moment.

This is... what you want to hear?

Klein didn't expect Mephides to be curious about him, so he was a little surprised.

He was sitting on a single sofa with soft and deep cushions. Klein leaned against the sofa and folded his legs while reading a book. At this time, he closed the book in his hand and adjusted his sitting posture.

He scraped the skin under his eyes with his fingers, as if thinking about his words.

"Me and Lisa...were friends. Me and her and Dick have known each other since we were kids, went to town school together—"

Klein talked and thought, but he only came up with this sentence. His past is very rich in retrospect, but it only needs a few words to describe it. It seems that there is nothing else to say.

His expression became quiet, his emerald green eyes drooped, he suddenly showed a flat smile, and turned to ask Mephides: "What about you, did you have such a friend when you were young?"

If Wenger and Ferguson counted, Mephides nodded.

Klein: "There's nothing special between me and Lisa, just like between you and your friends."

As he said that, he said uneasy: "If you meet Lisa again in the future, don't ask her such questions."

Mephides nodded obediently before laying the notebook flat, when Klein said in an unnatural tone: "Mephides..."

Mephides: "?"

It was not easy for him to say what he wanted to say. Klein tapped his fingers on the spine of the book in his hand, and he continued after a while: "What do you think of Lisa?"

Mephides' blue eyes narrowed slightly.

What do you mean?

Didn't you just say that they are just friends?

Or did Klein mean that they are friends "temporarily", and there is still the possibility of further development, so now I want to ask the opinions of onlookers?

Mephides' hand holding the pen froze for a few seconds in mid-air, hesitantly pushed the notebook flat on her knees, and wrote pertinently: [Beautiful]

——Based on human aesthetics, it should be called aggressive and beautiful.

Klein was taken aback when he saw her evaluation, and later realized that Mephides might have misunderstood what he meant, and said to himself that the explanation just now was not in place.

At this time, he was not in a hurry to clarify further, but said: "I'm not asking this, I want to ask, what do you think of her personality? Is she easy to get along with?"

——Judging by human standards, Lisa's character is also a hearty and generous type.

Mephides was about to start writing, when the tip of the pen marked a black dot on the notebook, she suddenly stopped.

She raised her head and glanced at Klein, vaguely, as if she had understood what Klein really meant.

Is she the female friend Klein mentioned not long ago?

She changed her pen and wrote: [You want to send me to her? 】

"..."

Mephides looked calm, but Klein sensed that she was not in high spirits from some indistinguishable details, and he sighed inwardly, it really didn't work.

So he said, "Don't worry, it will happen after I leave. I promised you that I will accompany you and wait for Mr. Parton to pick you up when we are in Port Paloy."

Mephides: "..."

That's at least two months away.

Her first metamorphosis lasted nearly a year;

The second metamorphosis period, that is, the one in Port Paloi, the time was shortened by half.

According to this decreasing law, the transformation period this time is about three months. Considering that the transformation is relatively thorough this time, it can be extended, and it should not exceed half a year.

During Klein's three months, she was able to "grow" at least once.

At that time, her appearance will not be as feminine as it is now, and her strength and fitness will have regained some.

Even if Patton hasn't found him yet, he won't be passive to this extent, and naturally he doesn't need others to watch over him.

Klein sensed from Mephides's reaction that he had brought up an uneasy topic, so he pretended to stand up relaxedly and said, "It's late today, take a shower and go upstairs to rest."

A few days later, Mephides's feet recovered completely, and she walked without hindrance, so she no longer stayed in the house all day.

Sometimes she would sit and read a book in the yard, and occasionally Klein would take her for a walk by the beach, worried that she would be bored alone in a strange place, and told her a lot about Sweet.

Of course, Mephides wasn't curious about her own affairs, but listening to Klein's melodious voice recount that experience amidst the mix of sea breeze and waves was a kind of relaxing activity.

What made her a little concerned was that Klein only talked about Sweet, Patton, Ferguson, and even Wenger and Locke, but he never talked about himself.

It's like seven months ago, when Klein never went deep into the yard locked by iron chains, nor did he have any interaction with his master.

It was as if he only happened to know what happened in that house because he lived next door and always passed by.

In Klein's description, Sweet seven years ago was elegant, handsome, polite, and kind to him.

It was all praise, not a single ambiguity, and he didn't say a word about the bracelet thrown out of the window, the teasing on the beach, or the excessive birthday party.

Those parts that Klein personally participated in were all erased in his narration.

From the perspective of a stranger, he picked out the information that Mephides might want to know, and said it without emotion.

Mephides was displeased for no reason.

But it was getting late, and the shopping streets beside the port road were all lit up, and Klein didn't notice her expression.

Considering that Mephides had been bored at home for so long, Klein asked, "Do you want to visit the port?"

To be honest, Mephides has no interest, no one knows more about the sea than the mermaid.

But she wrote in her notebook: [Can I see your boat? 】

Klein was surprised: "You want to see the Pearl?"

Mephides nodded.

The Pearl was moored in a bay on the side of the port.

Whether it is near or not far from here.

For people in good health like Klein and Nata, it only took ten minutes to walk, but Mephides...

"Can you walk?"

Mephides nodded firmly.

Klein pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay then. But there are too many people over there, so you have to catch me so I don't get separated."

When he went out for a walk, Mephides was wearing a cloak. Klein was about to grab her sleeves, but when his wrists felt cold, Mephidess' white hands clenched them.

"you--"

Klein wanted to say that he would be gossiped if he was seen by outsiders, but then he thought about it, it was so dark, and Mephides was wearing a cloak. If she hadn't walked closer and looked closely, no one would be able to see clearly who was under the cloak.

Furthermore, no matter what others say, he knows that he only treats Mephides as his younger sister, and if he is caught, he will be arrested, which is better than letting Mefedess get lost.

So he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
