Before anything else, I’d like to thank our dear author, Mr. Mikael l.u.s.tre, for dropping by and leaving motivational words through our comment section. For our readers, as well, do leave your comments and suggestions or contact us thru our discord channel.

Alright, I posted all available TLed chapters in my inventory. So after this one I'll revert to weekly release with at least a chapter each week. Sorry I couldn't promise for more(1) but I'll release more(2) if I could translate more(3) chapters. More X 3. Hahaha!

ALSO, please visit my stand-alone site at . I had to separate this since it's purely MTL. See yah!

Chapter 10.2: Mirror, Mirror (2)

“Managat.”

Sarikit gently shook the merman's shoulders. The latter stood up drowsily.

“Managat, wake up. Sagi is gone.”

“Who’s Sagi?” replied the merman who's obviously still half-asleep.

“The little one,” the young mermaid answered sulkily.

The merman stretched out. He mused to himself: why would the little fairy disappear? Its kind does not randomly leave its imprint on a whim.

“Please, Managat” pleaded Sarikit. “Let’s find him.”

He finally roused from his bed and while holding the little mermaid's hand, they exited the room together.

The merman tried to dig from his memory the things Maalam thought him back from when he was still young. Lambanang-tubig or the water fairies are presumed to be faithful and honest creatures. They will never carelessly leave their imprints for no reason. In the event that they really went away without their imprint's knowledge, it probably be just around the corner. They have a curious and inquiring nature.

“Have you tried calling it, Sarikit?” Managat asked the other.

“Not yet,” she replied briefly.

“You try. Water fairies are connected to our minds. No matter how far, it will surely hear you.” He explained.

The little mermaid nodded and through her mind she called the water fairy.

Sarikit suddenly stiffened which surprised Managat. She seemed to be surprised.

In that very moment, Sarikit was able to watch what her fairy, Saginrawa, was seeing. It was inside an obscure room in the Palace where the collected objects from cleaning the ocean floor were kept. Those were the trashes that the mortals threw haphazardly to the ocean.

The fairy was in front of a luminous object with a smooth surface. From there it's watching the moving images of some mortals.

“Sagi is in the 'Hinigkuan Room'.”

“Hey, negra1.” Roselda called teasingly to her friend, Marissa.

The group was sitting all crowded inside the white van that's now running through the dusty road to their destination. It was all bushy trees and lush vegetation on both sides of the road.

“Where did you borrow this car?” she continued.

“Ay,” Marissa reacted. “You think this face can't afford this? Excuse me, Roselda Mae de Vera. This car that you're riding right now actually belongs to my future husband.”

(TN: Marissa refers literally to her face or how beautiful it is that she can get a car after getting a boyfriend. This is not a Chinese novel. XD Also, 'excuse me' here has the same meaning with 'Duh')
