Chapter 277 (1/2)
”Please, don't worry. You can just leave it to us Valkyrie and the adventure” [Mile]
”Other soldiers will help us to. For now, you have other important issue to solve, am I right” [Bladel]
”Captain Bladel, Mile... Right, thank you for letting me go!” [Elise]
After the fight and leaving the clean up to the other, Sis Diana, Sis Qis, Mother Aries, Elise, Kara and I went to the adventure guild office, searching for case files of the strange mermaid appearing all over Achalasia. After searching through multiple files, even going as far as referencing old literatures and start arranging it according to time of appearance, something conclusive can be drawn
”Their last appearance was approximately six years ago, shortly after the appearance of the devil” [Kara]
”True. And looking at the report made by Saint Louis that he shared with the adventure guild in the past, it seems he actually spotted the said mermaid together with bunch of fairies, searching for a blue hair girl” [Aries]
”May I know the date of the report” [Diana]
”Of course, it was just after your debutante party, and right before that incident happened. It was spotted in the country adjacent to the New Headquarters. Similar report by Sir Crow can also be found, where the mermaids are said to appear inside of Kiserre, although he didn't see the mermaid at all” [Aries]
”Still, a blue hair girl...” [Elise]
”Why me? It could be anyone... right?” [Charlotte]
While I do have this feeling that blue hair girl might be me, I can't make any logical reasoning as to why it is. My earliest collection of my memory, it was with them for a short period of time before being saved by Brother Ash. Other than that, I can't remember anything, not even my parents or any of my relatives. How I ended up in the slum with them is also a mystery for me
Right now, Elise is trying to piece all of the information she got, together with her impression she got for me based on her memory. With no other lead, we let her takes her sweet time
”Charlotte, you said that the water behemoth talk to you right? [Elise]
”That, it sure does, though Mother Aries can't heard a word that behemoth said” [Charlotte]
”Hmm, could it be possible, that this is your second time around, no, in actuality, who knows how many times you have communicate with a sea beast?” [Elise]
”Huh? I'm sure not” [Charlotte]
”Well, actually you might have. Whenever we went to the Rock and Sea dungeon six years ago, you always, ALWAYS, know where are the mermaids. Every single time” [Elise]
”Now that you mention it...” [Kara]
Really? Why can't I remember it then? Mermaid, mermaid. I think I did remember it, knowing rather instinctively where the mermaids are, but as far as communicating with the mermaids, I'm sure I haven't done anything like that before
”Then how would you explain it?” [Elise]
”Don't ask me that. I don't know!” [Charlotte]
