Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Parker was shy and silent, so I turned to the mermaids.

It seems that these unscrupulous brothers have caused some trouble. We apologize for the inconvenience.

No, no, fufufu

Why are you so happy?

Its good, brothers and disciples

Its nice

The mermaids happily fluttered their tails, but I didnt know how to answer.

Personally, I would like to hear various stories immediately, but it seems that the mermaids are not good at such clerical conversations.

No need to get in the way here, lets relax and keep pace with them.

But first of all, lets give an apology.

Parker isnt a bad guy, but hes just frivolous and easily misunderstood. He seems to have said things rudely, and Id like to apologize.

Then the mermaids hurriedly shook their tails from side to side, Thats ridiculous, Mr. Parker is a really sincere person and he helped us a lot.

I cant believe it.

Sincere?

But he once said, Because the upper half is fine, join the Demon Kings army

I didnt say that, right?

The Mermaids mysteriously tilt their heads.

Even though we declined the offer of the Demon Kings army, Mr. Parker helped us a lot. He is a very serious person.

Serious? This guy?!

I couldnt believe it, but the mermaids further explained: Mr. Parker has enshrined the spirits around here. Thanks to that, we are able to hide in the reefs around here.

If Mr. Parker hadnt come, we would have been wandering through the vast ocean, reducing our numbers.

To summarize their story, it seems that the mermaids had been living while wandering until recently. However, they are not migratory fish. Although they are a hunting and gathering race, they seem to be the type that settles down in a specific place.

Parker is said to have removed the reefs and islets where the ghosts were roaming for them.

The spirits of those who died in the sea wandered in the waves in search of land, so offshore islets and shallow waters often have spirits that cant go to the Netherworld.

Parker says this with an upward glance and hides his face again.

Did you do that thinking you wouldnt come back at all?

When I stared at Parkers face, he scratched his head in trouble.

Hahaha, it seems that Ive been skipping it! But thanks to that, Ive been practicing exorcism! Its already a huge number!

Parker

What?

I said with a smile, Thank you, you did a good thing

Immediately Parker falters and leans against the rim.

Stop, dont praise me! Youre embarrassing me!

No, it is the right policy of the demon army to help the demons. Isnt it possible to praise him as an adjutant of the demon?

No, no, thats it? Its just left behind after the negotiations are over?

This guy seems to be vulnerable to being praised unexpectedly.

Lets praise him more.

As his fellow disciple, I can tell you that he has a very proud nose. Hes such a fine fellow-brother.

Well, is that so? No, no, lets negotiate with the mermaids rather than that.

My dear fellow disciple, I respect you.

No, can you stop

Parker sneaked and stuck to the bottom of the ship, and became motionless.. You cant use this method anymore. Lets also teach senior Melene.

Having silenced the annoying brothers, I decided to talk slowly with the mermaids.

Actually, humans are suspicious of you, they think you are attacking human ships.

Immediately mermaids started buzzing.

Legend has it that they can manipulate water and curse the sinking of ships, but I can imagine that they dont have that much power. The same is true for vampires and werewolves. Humans have a strong imagination and want to quickly add things to suit the mystery setting.

We dont attack human ships. The song Konaide may ask you to leave our home but thats it.

If anything, its rumored here that humans are catching our companions.

What does that mean?

Then Parker stood up and explained to me carefully, I remember because Im a former human being, but mermaids are thought to be immortal, because they dont look old at all.

In addition, there are only women, so it seems that they are seen with a mysterious image. Thats why some heartless humans are aiming for mermaids, thinking that the secret of immortality may be hidden in mermaids.

We certainly dont look much different, but when we get older, we cant go out because the ocean is full of enemies.

The mermaids said sadly. They looked to be in their mid-teens to late twenties, but they told me that there are actually mermaids in their forties.

There are a lot of ferocious monsters in the ocean. We can fend off our enemies with the speed of swimming and the power of singing, but if neither works, we will be eaten.

Therefore, when they get older, the mermaids usually retire early and take charge of young singing instruction and babysitters in the reef. It seems that they just dont appear in public.

By the way, it seems that there are some male mermaids as well, but since they specialize in swimming speed rather than singing, they are in charge of hunting in the flock. Everyone seems to be busy catching fish and shellfish.

It is said that male mermaids are always in short supply, as they often go missing while hunting, perhaps because they are attacked by monsters.

As a man, its a story that I can somehow sympathize with.

It doesnt seem to be as mysterious or graceful as humans think

I also understand why Parker becomes sympathetic to the mermaid.

We young mermaids swim fast and sing well, but in the waters we were in before, several mermaids of my age suddenly disappeared.

I wasnt particularly isolated from the flock, and I was only attacked by humans or monsters

The Mermaids had sad expressions.

We dont have the power to fight humans, and we dont want to fight at all, so we were wandering in search of safe waters.

So thats it. Thats where this frivolous skeleton came in.

The waters where the mermaids were in before were close to Beruza, so they decided to move with caution for humans. However, the reef that they finally found was full of ghosts and they couldnt get close to it, and they couldnt get rid of it by singing, so they were in trouble.

It seems that the mermaids were in front of the waters just east of Beruza. Its close to the route from Beruza to Lotso.

Neither humans nor mermaids testify that they are attacking each other.

If either testimony is true, there could be a third enemy attacking both.

If so, is the enemy a human being or a monster?

Hey, Parker

What?

When I was training, I remembered the description I read in my masters collection.

Is there a sea-dwelling monster that can prey on mermaids and sailing ships?

Hmm I dont know. There are giant creatures on land, and there is sure to be something in the sea.

Parker shrugged, but suddenly said, as he remembered.

By the way, Ive been lost in the deep fog while drifting in search of the mermaids.

Fog?

Parker rowed into the sea with the skeleton sailors to meet the mermaid, but was trapped in the fog for several days during the voyage.

The wind and tide seemed to have stopped, and the fog was rushing in. I thought it was a strange place, and I hid the boat with the illusion I had just learned.

After that, nothing happened, and eventually the fog cleared and Parker met the mermaids.

Its weird, but what should I say

This guy is a skeleton.

Even if a monster finds Parker, it cant eat him. Even if he encountered a monster, it would just pass by him.

Ill have to remember what you just said.

I understand your situation for the time being, so Ill talk to the humans about it. Id be happy if you could accompany me.

Then the mermaids looked at each other, as if they were a little scared.

Is it impossible after all?

By the way, who are your chiefs?

We dont have anyone in particular. We dont fight, so we dont know who is the best

Their temperament of a demon is in a strange place, though it should be decided by discussion.

Anyway, lets go back and talk with Garsh and others.

I should also contact Rune Height.

TN: Konaide means Dont come
