When it was almost sunset, the group gathered at the inn prepared by Aesop one after another, although the food by the sea was rough, but it had a smell mixed with the sea breeze, if you eat it once in a while, not only will you not feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, the impact of the thick taste will also sweep away the fatigue. Fishermen who have worked all day also rely on taste and "quantity" to make up for the energy expended by labor.

"Oh, this fish is good. ”

The ubiquitous dinner did not rise to the point of using a knife and fork, but more of a hand to grasp, which was a common occurrence for Charty, who was now holding a whole grilled fish and stuffing it into the young dragon's mouth. After all, there is no way to grasp the "wings" of the little guy, and if you stick out your head and pick it up, it will inevitably stain that clothes.

But speaking of which, the young dragon's coat that clings to the body is really very suitable, not only can the bare wings be stretched freely, but there is no need to worry about the claws scratching, from the appearance, there is an inexplicable urge to make people commit crimes. Charty said that the young dragon wore the tailors' best styles, and that the tailor who thought of such clothes was a genius.

Desire makes people progress.

"yes, yes, and not even a thorn. Xia Di directly licked off the sauce on the corner of the young dragon's mouth, and could see that she already thought of the little guy as a "younger brother and sister", "You two...... Aren't you hungry?"

"Hah...... Ha, it's okay. ”

It was naturally Perry and White who were called by Charty, and at this moment the two of them were staring at each other in embarrassment, probably because they were used to knives and forks, and they couldn't get used to it for a while. They were very reserved. It seems that even if they can get used to the seaside environment. I still can't get used to some "rude" living habits.

"Perry. You ...... first"

"I don't want to go back and get a penalty yet. Perry shook his head, a few cups of barley tea had bottomed out, but unfortunately just drinking water couldn't fill his stomach, "If you can......"

"Don't think about it, I've turned all the way, it's pretty much the same. White shook his head, "The people here don't have much leisure to eat slowly. If you don't believe me, just look around. ”

Perry frowned, but he didn't really need to look at it. Just by listening to the sound, you know what is going on around you. The rude and heroic men were not so much eating as fighting, and the noisy business around them almost knocked off the roofs. There are no decent shops in the seaside port, because the only people who come here are the merchants who come to wholesale aquatic products, and they often don't stay here for long, so opening a decent restaurant is sure to lose money.

After all...... Ordinary fishermen still prefer such noisy places, drunk people are yelling and screaming, women keep chasing naughty children and running around, in their eyes, I am afraid that it is not them, but the quiet and well-behaved Perry.

"I'm sorry. It's late, and I've taken care of some trivial things a little. ”

Just as Perry tried to let go of the so-called "reserve" as well. When he was about to try it with his hand, Aesop's presence caused him to retract his hand in an instant.

Aesop, dusting off her clothes, didn't seem to like the place very much, but she still sat down next to Perry.

"The merchants of the Chamber of Commerce haven't noticed any orcs or anything like that lately, so let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow. ”

"It's for the best. Perry let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed, apparently not used to life here.

"And that's what you've asked me to investigate, Mr. White. "Not only is it just the orc investigation, but Aesop seems to have accepted White's commission, and ......

It seems that I can already guess who it is about.

"Mermaid...... It is true that there have been haunts by the sea. ”

"Really!?" White uncharacteristically patted the table and stood up, "be specific." ”

"Generally speaking, they haunt at night, and many merchants who travel at night hear the mermaid's song, but more often they hear inquiries. Of course, the mermaid itself did not appear, so it must have used some means to make a sound. ”

"Asked...... What is it?"

"She's asking where the 'prince' is. ”

Aesop glanced at Perry, but it was clear that Perry couldn't have left any romantic debts as a child. Fear......

"I think...... It could only be Perry. The merchants also tried to answer, but the other party did not seem to respond, and continued to ask. Some good people also try to go to the beach to look for it, but often they end up fainting on the beach for some reason, and only wake up the next morning. ”

"Where!?"

"We're going tomorrow. ”

"That's why I'm going to do it as soon as possible. White, banging on the table, didn't seem to have any intention of calming down.

If that's right, he's been clamoring to find the mermaid since the morning, is it really just to draw a picture of the other party?

"By the sea, that's all I know about at the moment. After all...... They are also hard-to-find creatures. ”

"Thank you!"

Without much hesitation, White immediately dropped his plate and rushed out, obviously planning to go to the beach. But it's only this one night, can you find the mermaid if you want to?

"Then, I'll go back to the Chamber of Commerce first and deal with some personal matters. ”

With all the things that need to be reported said, Aesop doesn't seem to have any intention of staying here. He seemed to be deliberately avoiding communication with Perry along the way, and even when he arrived in the city, he basically stayed in the Chamber of Commerce, "I'll come back tomorrow morning, and then follow the route to the next city." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you. ”

Perry waved his hand and watched as Isolt left the store with a sigh as she carefully avoided the noisy crowd. Most likely, he was even more disgusted with life here, Perry and White were just a little unaccustomed to food, but it was clear that Aesop didn't even want the inhabitants to touch him.

"That guy is very arrogant. ”

Charty muttered, and then began to rub the young dragon's hair, presumably her mind was completely on Aesop, "But...... Arrogance is arrogance, and it feels like it's not at all comparable to you. ”

"Thank you. ”

Perry stood up without changing his color, "But ......"

"I know, I know, I'm too lazy to say anything more to him. Charty waved her hand and took the young dragon in her arms. Although the baby dragon attracted a lot of attention from the residents at first, once they got used to it, they didn't say anything about this strange creature.

"Take us with you when you go to the beach, and to be honest, I want to try my luck and see what the mermaid looks like. (To be continued.) )
