Chapter 79: Mermaid Kami
With green hair and a pink fishtail, she looks only about ten years old, but she is definitely a mermaid.
"Yes, my name is Kemi, I'm a mermaid, thank you for saving me." Little Kemi thanked you politely, "Because sometimes I get confused, so it's easy for me to be eaten by sea beasts. I was almost digested just now."
Although they knew that mermaids existed in this world, they were still surprised when a mermaid appeared in front of them, so Kimi was quietly watched by the three people.
Two seconds later, Kimi's eyes suddenly bulged out, his mouth opened wide, and he shouted in a terrified manner: "Yes, it's a human! I'm scared to death!"
Zhang Da also let go of the hand that was holding Kemi and picked his ears. The little girl was pretty, but she was startled when she spoke: "Don't be so loud, we won't do anything to you."
Kimi fell into the sea and knocked Tom, who had just stuck his head out, down again, but she didn't notice: "Won't hurt me? That's great."
Rui Mengmeng looked at the little mermaid girl and said, "Did you believe it so easily?"
Altria said seriously, "It feels easy to be deceived."
"Huh!? I was cheated!?" Kimi's expression was exaggerated.
"I'm not lying to you." Zhang Da also held his forehead. Is this a mermaid or a Tontata? It's so naive that it makes people want to complain. "If you can be eaten so easily, why are you running around outside alone?"
"That's because... it hurts!!" Kami suddenly jumped up more than three meters from the sea . If you look closely, you can see that there is a cat hanging on her tail.
Zhang Da also quickly caught them both: "Tom, let go, she is not a fish!"
Tom held Cami's tail, and his eyes seemed to say, you lied to me, this tail is obviously a fish.
"Mermaids really can't be eaten..." Zhang Da was helpless, "Come down quickly and let's figure out how to eat that sea beast."
Tom reluctantly let go of Kemi's tail, and Zhang Da apologized to Kemi: "Sorry, sorry, my cat mistook you for an ordinary fish."
With tears in her eyes, Kemi hid behind Altria. She felt that this sister could give her a sense of security. "It hurts. Is this a cat? So scary."
The mermaids living on Fishman Island are largely isolated from the outside world. They have hardly ever seen any plants or animals on land, and cats are probably one of them.
Altria touched Kimi's head and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Tom cooks delicious food."
What kind of weird way of comforting is this? Why don’t you be afraid if the food is delicious? Zhang Da also complained in his heart.
"Oh, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Kami patted his chest and relaxed.
Tom forced a kind smile at the right time, and Kami was no longer afraid at all.
It's really a comfort! Zhang Da still couldn't understand their strange train of thought. He glanced at Rui Mengmeng and saw that she was also shocked.
There are still normal people, and Zhang Da is also relieved.
A few minutes later, everyone set up a barbecue grill on the beach and watched Tom grill sea beast meat and some shellfish.
Of course Tom did not forget the crabs he had worked so hard to catch, and he set up an extra pot next to him, ready to cook them as a revenge.
The sea beast meat was of course collected on the spot. Zhang Da was curious about his own attack power, so he took out a sword and slashed at the sea beast's body with all his strength. A large cut more than one meter long and several dozen centimeters deep appeared on the sea beast's body.
Zhang Da also estimated that such an injury would have little effect on a sea beast of this size unless it hit a vital point, but he should be able to deal with smaller sea beasts.
Cami carefully followed Altria ashore. For her, reaching the Sabaody Archipelago was almost a dream.
After all, she had been taught since childhood that she must never set foot on this island. Mermaids and mermen would be discriminated against, and many people would think that they had infectious diseases. This phenomenon was particularly serious in the Sabaody Archipelago.
In fact, Fish-Man Island had established diplomatic relations with the World Government about 200 years ago. Since then, the discrimination and persecution of Fish-Man by humans around the world has gradually disappeared.
But in the Sabaody Archipelago, murlocs and mermen are still regarded by almost everyone as fish, an inferior race that can be sold and hunted at will.
So this place is a "forbidden zone" for most mermen and mermaids. If Kimi were the only one here, she would not dare to go to the island no matter what.
"Smells good! It turns out Tom is really good at cooking." Everyone has introduced themselves, and the carefree Kami quickly integrated into their group.
Tom had a proud look on his face; he liked to be praised.
Zhang Da also asked back to the previous topic: "I haven't finished talking just now. Since there are so many dangerous sea beasts outside, why did you come here by yourself, Kemi?"
"I ran out to play secretly. In fact, the fastest swimming creature in the sea is the mermaid. If I hadn't been in a daze, I wouldn't have been eaten." Kami felt a little embarrassed.
Tom pricked up his ears. The fastest swimming creature? I'll compete with her later.
Kemi continued: "Then, here is my dream."
"Dream? Is it just to land on this island?" Rui Mengmeng has only been here for a short time and doesn't know much about the discrimination against merfolk.
"Well, this is not the first time I float to the surface of the sea. I have always dreamed of going to Shampoo Park to ride the Ferris wheel." Kimi was very depressed when she said this. She moved her pink fish tail behind her, "But it's impossible."
Tom puts the scallops on the grill. Soon the scallops open their mouths one by one, and the scallop meat is cooked by the temperature transmitted from the shells. Garlic vermicelli is placed on top, and the aroma is fragrant.
Oysters, also known as mussels, can be roasted in the same way, or they can be eaten raw by prying open the shells, but Zhang Da can't stand this way of eating and is more used to eating cooked food.
Tom brought a plate of grilled scallops to Cami and smiled, not sure whether it was out of politeness or an apology to Cami.
"Thank you." Kimi carefully tasted a scallop. The moment the scallop meat entered his mouth, all his previous frustration disappeared. "It's delicious!"
Kemi does not eat fish , but has a special liking for foods such as shellfish and kelp. According to her, her usual menu includes grilled wakame, kelp soufflé, scallop sandwiches and clam pizza, etc.
The scallops Tom grilled were just what she wanted and she could enjoy them to her heart's content.
Afterwards, everyone else started eating as well, happily eating the skewers. It was a pity that it was just ordinary sea beast meat, not sea king meat, otherwise they could sell it for a good price even if they couldn't finish it.
People and cats do not share the same joys and sorrows. Tom was in distress facing a large pot of cooked crabs - after being cooked, all the green crabs turned into red crabs, and he could not tell which one pinched his butt and nose. How could he get revenge?
