Chapter 172: Let’s Talk Inside

“What exactly is going on…”

Yagi Miyuki licked his dry lips, suddenly feeling a chill, somewhat at a loss.

Every time he went to Narase Mero’s house for lessons, he would worry about Mrs. Narase suddenly coming home and seeing him and her daughter playing “training” in the bathroom, wondering if she would dispose of him on the spot.

But now he was told that Mrs. Narase, the person he had been concerned about… simply didn’t exist?

“What’s wrong? Yagi-kun, you look pale.”

“It’s nothing.”

Yagi Miyuki forced a smile, stared at Takahashi-sensei in front of him for a while, and then said, “Takahashi-sensei, didn’t you have something else to attend to? I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“Alright.”

After watching Takahashi-sensei leave, Yagi Miyuki’s expression quickly darkened, his fists clenched uneasily.

There were only two possibilities now.

Either Takahashi-sensei was lying, or… Narase Mero was lying.

If it’s the latter, it’s terrifying. Normally, Mermaid-san would have been deceiving him all along, not only does Mrs. Narase not exist, but even the personality she displayed could be a facade.

Otherwise, it can’t explain why she would fabricate a mother. Given Narase’s innocent nature, she shouldn’t lie, and definitely not to this extent.

If she could create such a lie, then her displayed innocence doesn’t make sense. Thus, the conclusion… her so-called innocence is just a mask, and he never knew the real Mermaid-san.

And there’s a fundamental problem.

Narase Mero said she didn’t know her origins, was picked up by her so-called mother when she was very young, and then lived as a human.

If the mother doesn’t exist, then her adoption story is also fabricated. So, what exactly is she?

A terrifying thought!

Yagi Miyuki hugged his head, breathing rapidly.

In the end, it’s the same question, why he so easily accepted the existence of a creature only found in legends beside him, and never doubted her full-of-holes story.

Thinking back now, Mermaid-san was also very suspicious, too coincidental.

Currently, all the strange incidents started from that Thursday half a month ago.

Michako, Ninomiya-senpai, and Sakura Manyu all acted strangely on that day. It was also on that day the principal asked him to tutor Narase Mero.

Out of these four girls, Ninomiya-senpai and Sakura Manyu are confirmed to have had contact with Ms. Moon, Michako is doubtful.

And Mermaid-san, who intersected with him on the same day, could she also be related to Ms. Moon? Or further guessing, is Narase Mero… Ms. Moon?

Yagi Miyuki pondered.

Considering Ms. Moon’s displayed supernatural abilities, he no longer regarded her as human. And Narase Mero is also a non-human existence; mermaids in various legends have “superpowers.”

Although Narase Mero, except for her discomfort on land and reduced intelligence out of water, hasn’t shown anything out of the ordinary. But since he’s speculated she might always be pretending, even her reduced intelligence out of water could be fake.

“Sigh—”

Yagi Miyuki took a deep breath, shook his head, and muttered, “It’s useless to think so much now, it’s all just speculation… Anyway, still…”

Yagi Miyuki checked his phone for the time, stood up slowly, his gaze flickering for a moment before firming up.

“I’ll visit Narase-san after work tonight.”

Either Takahashi-sensei or Narase Mero was lying. The former currently had no suspicious points, while the latter was full of doubts.

To understand if Narase Mero was lying, he must first verify if the mother she spoke of exists.

Though he had no time today, he wanted to know the truth, and visiting after 10 PM, he had a better chance of meeting Mrs. Narase, who he hadn’t seen in half a month.

However, he felt if his analysis was correct, it might be a bit bad to confront her, but… it shouldn’t be dangerous, right?

Even if Narase Mero was lying, she didn’t seem like an evil mermaid from the legends; otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived until now.

If she really was Ms. Moon, that’s even more reassuring, as Ms. Moon’s letters showed no malice towards him.

“In any case, I hope… I’m thinking too much…”

Distracted by thoughts of Narase Mero and Ms. Moon, Yagi Miyuki was absent-minded at work, receiving several concerns from Kimura-senpai, and soon it was time to leave.

“Now, what reason should I use to go there?”

Walking on the road, Yagi Miyuki rubbed his chin, his face heavy with thought.

Visiting a girl’s house at 9:30 PM seemed inappropriate, and it was hard to find a reason.

“Forget it… Any reason will do, just make up an excuse.”

Yagi Miyuki shook his head.

After all, he just wanted to know if Mrs. Narase exists.

If Mrs. Narase answers the doorbell, he would leave. If not…

Well, it’s not hard to know if Mrs. Narase is real, just look for signs of two people living in Narase’s house, like the shoe cabinet, kitchen, bedroom, etc. He hadn’t noticed before, but living alone and with another person makes a big difference.

“Sigh…”

Arriving at Narase’s house, Yagi Miyuki calmed himself and gently pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it?”

Soon, hearing the familiar voice tinged with caution from behind the door, Yagi Miyuki coughed and spoke, “It’s me…”

“Click—”

Before Yagi Miyuki could finish speaking, the door opened, and a pink figure rushed into his arms, like a pet dog finding its owner, rubbing her head against his chest.

“Hey, hey, hey—”

Looking at the girl in his arms, Yagi Miyuki’s original tension was diluted, somewhat helplessly pushing away the Mermaid-san clinging to him.

“Um…”

Just as Yagi Miyuki was about to speak, Mermaid-san, blinking her bright purple eyes and with a radiant smile, pulled him inside, “Let’s talk inside… Yagi-sensei.”
