The moment she came out of the water, the mermaid's hair, which was not wet with water, spread out in the wind, and the crystal-like scales on her cheeks were exposed.
It was supposed to be a beautiful scenery that was pleasing to the eye, but when Kidd saw it with sharp eyes, his heart suddenly thumped, and he instinctively felt that something was not good.
The next moment, his eyes moved down and landed on the mermaid's slender tail.
Kidd: "..."
Kidd: "…………"
Kidd: "!!!"
Before he could react, the man had already raised his hand and held down the mermaid's shoulder.
The mermaid was startled and a little surprised: This human being is really enthusiastic, and he actually put his arm around her immediately when he came up. Faced with Jiang Xia all the time, she thought that her current appearance did not meet the aesthetics of teenagers.
I feel a little secretly happy, feeling that this Phantom Thief has a great eye for beauty.
The next second, Kidd burst out with great strength under the desire to survive. He closed his eyes tightly and pushed the mermaid out of the water back into the river with one force.
There was a huge splash of water.
Jiang Xia looked at the mermaid that was flat on the water, losing its elegance, and the rising water: "..."
After Kidd threw the fish, he quickly retracted his hand and shook the water on his hand, still in shock.
Suddenly, he found that Wutian Gou was watching him silently, and then he suddenly remembered: he seemed to have thrown the helper Wutian Gou had invited.
Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed: "Well, I didn't mean it. It's just, it's just..."
Jiang Xia: "..." I don't mind too much, after all, it wasn't me who fell so ugly.
but……
Suddenly a parabola flashed across my eyes.
——The Egg of Memories burst out of the water with a crash and fell from the river into Jiang Xia's arms.
Jiang Xia subconsciously raised her hand to catch it, vaguely feeling that she understood something.
The next moment, the boat beneath him suddenly tilted.
…
This boat is not that big. In order to catch people in a concealed manner, Terai Huangnosuke built a small boat similar in size to a hand-cranked boat.
Although this makes it difficult for people passing by the river to notice, it also makes it convenient for the angry mermaid.
The mermaid was pushed back into the river, dazed for a moment, and finally came to her senses. In anger, she capsized the boat with her tail.
The moment the boat capsized, a figure floated into the sky - the flying puppet was convenient. Jiang Xia shook the water splashed on his clothes and looked towards the river.
Kidd was still on the boat, and he obviously hadn't fully recovered yet. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up: "Wait...GuluGuluGulu——"
"..."
Jiang Xia descended a little from the sky. He looked at the angry mermaid and found that she was angry, but she had no intention of drowning the thief, so he turned to look at the boat lying upside down on the river next to her.
He used a lot of strength to flip the boat back with a crash.
Then he dropped the water, fell back inside and sat down, looking down at the heavy "Egg of Memories" in his hand.
Jiang Xia: "..." What a big egg.
After being stolen by Kidd, the energy core content inside did not disappoint.
Jiang Xia raised her sleeves to wipe the river water on it, put it to her mouth and gestured. She felt that the round egg was too round to eat. She also wanted to return it to Suzuki's house later to use it to catch Shi Kaobing.
It's best to finish it as soon as possible.
With this thought in mind, he looked around calmly.
He found that the only living person nearby was still trying to escape from the clutches of the mermaid in the river. No one paid attention to what he was doing. Jiang Xia turned his back to Kidd and the mermaid, opened the puppet's mouth as wide as possible, and swallowed the egg in one gulp.
, quickly sucked up the energy core inside, and then took it out again.
Everything happened so fast, and under the darkness of night, no one saw this horrifying scene.
After Jiang Xia took out the energy core, he looked down at the Egg of Memory in his hand and found that it was a bit dimmer like the previous collections that had been sucked. However, there was nothing wrong with the various parts and components, and it was still the same precious egg.
The eggs will recover after being left for a while, and Shi Kaobing should still take the bait.
…
After eating the energy core, Jiang Xia thought of the person who worked so hard to steal the egg.
He turned to look at the mermaid: "Okay, he just..."
After a pause, he swallowed back his "hateful fish" words silently: "It's just that I've never seen a mermaid before, so I was too nervous and couldn't control my intensity at the moment."
The mermaid has a short mouth and feels the influx of energy cores.
She snorted, lifted Kidd out of the water, shook him, drained the water, and threw him back into the boat.
Kidd fell onto the board with a thud and wrapped himself tightly in his wet cloak: "...Sneeze!"
Jiang Xia thought of something and looked at the coat next to her - as expected, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure. Won't the clothes that Terai Huangnosuke prepared for falling into the water be used? The old man is quite unpredictable.
He picked up his coat and put it over Kidd's body in a friendly manner, hiding his merit and fame.
Kidd's mood was complicated: "...thank you."
...The foggy dog is actually quite considerate. However, it would have been better if this coat wasn't even more wet than the rest of his body.
Fortunately, it's summer and it's not too cold.
Leaving the river at night, Kidd gradually recovered.
He sighed sadly, feeling lingering fears about what he had just encountered: the new monster was too irritable. In comparison, Kiritengu was really a good person... No, he was such a good monster.
I was denouncing the terrible fish in my heart.
At this time, there was a sudden splash of water next to it, and something jumped onto the boat.
"!!!"
Kid turned around and saw the mermaid that suddenly became fierce: cold hands, cold scales, and cold eyes.
His eyes touched the mermaid's tail, and Kidd quickly looked away.
He looked up at the sky and silently moved away from the big fish. He tried to cover up his fear by finding something to say: "Well, you monsters actually make friends with each other, hahaha, it's really amazing... But...
You are in the sea and he is a monster in the mountains. How do you know each other?"
The mermaid can't speak human language yet.
Jiang Xia thought for a while and answered for her: "The recipes are relatively similar and the interests are similar."
Kidd: "?!" Mermaids also like to eat dried human meat strips?!
...No, no, that's not right, you have to try to remember that the foggy dog doesn't eat people, it's a good monster... The recipes he mentioned should be referring to the collections he stole.
Thinking this, Kidd glanced at Jiang Xia.
Seeing the dim egg of memories in Wutian Dog's hand, he suddenly realized something and was startled: "..." The treasure Miss Mermaid retrieved was actually eaten by Wutian Dog first?
...Tengu-san is actually at the top of the youkai food chain?
Thinking of this, the image of Wutian Dog in his mind suddenly became a little higher.
Kidd: "..." If that's the case, can he make this fish look at him eagerly next to him...
Jiang Xia soon received a look from the Phantom Thief asking for help.
He looked at the mermaid and found that after washing Kidd, the irritable fish had obviously calmed down.
