Chapter 177
"Hehe, Lord Rorschach, you’re joking. I’m not young anymore. How can I compare to these young and beautiful mermaids below? Besides, I don’t want to go out to sea, so I’m sorry."
Shyarly took a light puff from the pipe in her hand and chuckled softly.
"Eh? She refused?"
"What a shame. I also really wanted to go sailing with Brother Rorschach and see the outside world."
"The boundless sky, vast forests, all kinds of mysterious islands — I want to see them too."
Upon hearing Shyarly’s refusal, the mermaid ladies were first surprised, then spoke with regret.
Although they really wanted to go to the surface, and Shyarly didn’t refuse on their behalf, they still firmly refused Rorschach.
"You don’t have to worry about me. If you want to go out and see the world, following Lord Rorschach is the best choice. His strength is among the top in this sea. No one can harm you."
Shyarly said expressionlessly in a calm tone.
"Hehe, if we’re gone, how will Madam Shyarly manage the cafe alone?"
"It doesn’t matter. Even if you leave, I’ll just recruit a new batch of mermaids as staff."
"Then let’s just say we’re overthinking it and can’t bear to leave this job and Madam Shyarly."
The mermaid ladies smiled and bantered with Shyarly. freeweɓnøvel.com
"As you can see, Lord Rorschach, the mermaids in my cafe don’t seem to want to leave Fish-Man Island. Please understand."
Shyarly, who had stopped arguing with the staff, turned her gaze back to Rorschach and spoke calmly.
She was someone who had seen the world. She had even personally divined for pirates.
Although her strength wasn’t great, she had spirit and wasn’t to the point of fearing Rorschach.
"That’s really a shame. I really like Camie and Ishilly and the others. I wanted to sail the rest of the journey with them."
"But since I’ve been refused, there’s nothing I can do."
Rorschach put on a disappointed expression and spoke in a regretful tone.
Now was the time to show off his acting skills.
"Lord Rorschach..."
As expected, Camie, Ishilly, and the others fell for it and immediately showed conflicted expressions.
"It’s fine if you don’t join. If you want to go out and have fun in the future, you can contact me anytime. Whether it’s the surface or the sky, I can take you traveling."
In the end, Rorschach delivered the finishing blow. No woman could resist Rorschach’s "retreat to advance" affectionate tactic.
Even if they didn’t join now, when they wanted to go to the surface later, they would think of him first. Once they lived on the ship for a while, would he be afraid they wouldn’t come back?
"Wuuu~~ I really can’t bear to part with Lord Rorschach."
Ishilly had a few teardrops at the corners of her eyes as she threw herself into Rorschach’s arms and acted coquettishly.
The massive waves instantly covered Rorschach’s entire face.
Right now Rorschach felt everything in front of him was dark...
’What... what is blinding my eyes.’
Rorschach slightly retreated and struggled out of Ishilly’s embrace. Only then did he clearly see what enormous objects were covering his vision.
Looking up, it was Ishilly’s small face that looked a bit lost and aggrieved, with a few teardrops still hanging at the corners of her eyes.
"Ishilly is so sly! I want it too!"
Seeing Ishilly’s action, the other mermaid ladies couldn’t sit still either and all rushed toward Rorschach.
Rorschach’s head was instantly surrounded by six basketballs, looking like a blooming flower.
This left Nami and the other girls looking at each other in confusion. When did Rorschach become so popular?
"Phew hahaha, saved."
Rorschach finally struggled free from the girls’ embraces.
After comforting their emotions, Ishilly and Camie sat on Rorschach’s lap and chatted.
The other mermaid girls sat beside him or stood behind him.
It had to be said that the mermaid girls were truly innocent, and very enthusiastic and bold.
But Rorschach said he liked it very much.
The mermaid girls asked Rorschach about all kinds of novel things on the surface. Every time Rorschach mentioned something new, they would exclaim in surprise.
"By the way!"
"Speaking of which, we will be going to Ryugu Palace for the banquet later. Madam Shyarly, would you be interested in coming along?"
"And you all too. Since there isn’t much business in the store right now, why not join us for this banquet?"
Suddenly, Rorschach seemed to remember something and turned to Madam Shyarly, who was talking with Jinbe, and said.
"Hm? The banquet at Ryugu Palace? King Neptune should have invited you. Would it be inappropriate for us to go uninvited?"
Hearing Rorschach’s question, Madam Shyarly said with some doubt.
"Yeah, all of us going to Ryugu Palace together feels a bit..."
The mermaid girls said with somewhat complicated and uneasy expressions.
"It’s fine. You are Lord Rorschach’s friends. I think King Neptune won’t mind, and it’ll be more lively with more people."
Jinbe interrupted the girls’ concerns and spoke calmly.
"Mmm, you are all my friends. I think King Neptune will give me some face."
Rorschach also comforted them.
"In that case, I won’t refuse Lord Rorschach’s invitation. Because of your arrival, there aren’t many customers on the island right now."
"You can all take a day off today. Relax and have a good time, but remember to thank Lord Rorschach properly."
Seeing this, Madam Shyarly no longer refused. Then she spoke to the mermaid girls in a strict tone.
"Yes! We will thank Lord Rorschach properly!"
The mermaid girls cheered, then raised their hands together and said energetically.
Several mermaid girls gave Rorschach a big face wash, then giggled.
Nami, seeing Rorschach having so much fun, then discussed with Kalifa, Perona, and the others nearby about going shopping.
Every time they arrived at a new island, Nami would go to clothing stores and buy a large pile of clothes.
And in the end, she would always make the boss give her a huge discount to take the clothes.
However, Rorschach hadn’t seen her wear most of these clothes many times. She called it "they don’t have to be worn, but they must exist."
To this, Rorschach could only helplessly agree: You’re right about everything.
"Rorschach, Kalifa and I are going to the clothing store nearby first. We’ll be back later."
"We’ll take Little Silver with us first."
Nami shouted at Rorschach, who was squeezed in the middle by the mermaids.
Rorschach didn’t respond. He just raised his thumb high from within the pile of girls.
"This guy..."
Nami said with a twitching corner of her mouth.
Kalifa also couldn’t stand it anymore. She pouted and pulled Nami out of the Mermaid Cafe together.
Perona, holding Little Silver, followed closely behind.
