Chapter 14: Tokyo Mermaid = Mermaid

“Don’t call me that! Shouldn’t I be the one calling you?”

Yagi Miyuki’s mouth twitched as she looked at the girl in front of her, whose lower half had completely lost any human characteristics. She had something to say but wasn’t sure if she should say it.

“*&$@! You were a normal human when I saw you at noon! Why the sudden transformation into a mermaid-like creature? What’s going on?”

They say there are no wrong names, only wrong nicknames. Can I really say that the title “Tokyo Mermaid” suits you perfectly?

“Y-Yagi-sensei…”

Narase Mero crossed her arms, wearing an almost tearful expression. She looked at Yagi Miyuki with watery eyes and bit her lower lip without saying a word.

Hey, hey! Don’t look at me like I’m coercing you! Shouldn’t I be the one scared right now?

By the way, which version of the mermaid from folklore are you? Not the one that kidnaps men and uses them as undescribed tools in the deep sea, right? Even though it seems fun, it’s probably better not to be!

“Uh… Narase-san…”

Yagi Miyuki’s face stiffened, and her eyes were filled with unease towards this unknown entity. Even though the girl had a cute appearance and had become even more adorable in some ways, her long and eye-catching sakura-pink fish tail constantly emitted an eerie non-human aura.

Yagi Miyuki swallowed hard, too late to take care of her already shattered common sense. While retreating, he said, “I’m leaving now. Can you pretend I was never here?”

Just as he was about to reach the door, Narase Mero, who had been keeping her head down and swaying her beautiful fish tail anxiously, suddenly timidly said, “Please, please wait for me outside for a few minutes. Is that… okay?”

“Well…”

Yagi Miyuki wanted to refuse, but looking at Narase Mero’s pitiful eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and with great difficulty nodded and said, “Okay.”

Since they were in the same school, if this supernatural being really wanted to do something to him, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Yagi Miyuki stood still outside the swimming pool, feeling like these few minutes would be the most unbearable moments of his life, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that time passed as slowly as a year.

“Maybe I just transmigrated my soul, and I haven’t even changed maps, just my body, right? Could this place actually be another world?”

Yagi Miyuki looked puzzled. What kind of legendary creature is a mermaid? Was that fellow Narase Mero a special individual, or was she a member of a group with the ability to reproduce?

No!

Yagi Miyuki shook his head, stopping himself from thinking further. Otherwise, if he continued down this line of thought, he would be dealing with questions about the survival of humanity, and he would have to switch from the slice of life genre to fantasy.

“Please, come in, Yagi-sensei.”

Hearing the slightly trembling voice coming from the swimming pool, Yagi Miyuki took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.

He realized that after the initial panic, not only didn’t find Narase Mero frightening but also rather… cute?

Well, that was only natural. If mermaids weren’t cute, there wouldn’t be so many stories about them.

“Uh… Narase-san?”

As she walked back into the swimming pool, Yagi Miyuki looked surprised at Narase Mero, who had changed back into her school uniform, revealing a pair of long and slender legs under her skirt.

“I’m sorry.”

Narase Mero seemed a bit breathless, lowered her head, and said, “You saw something strange. If possible… please don’t tell anyone. My mom told me that I must never be discovered, or else… I’ll be captured and locked up in a research facility forever.”

“No, I should be the one apologizing.”

The remaining uneasiness in Yagi Miyuki’s heart gradually disappeared, and he sighed in relief. “It was my fault for barging in like that. Um… I’ll pretend I don’t know about the mermaid thing.”

“Really?”

Narase Mero suddenly looked delighted, walked up to Yagi Miyuki, and grabbed her hand excitedly. She said, “As long as you keep my secret, I’ll listen to you and do anything you say. I’m willing to do anything.”

No, no, no! Why does it sound like I’m threatening you? I haven’t done anything!

Yagi Miyuki discreetly freed her hand from Narase Mero’s slightly cold grip and said, “I’ll pretend I don’t know anything, and I won’t use this to threaten you.”

“Really?”

Narase Mero blinked her bright eyes, half-believing and half-doubting.

“Yeah, yeah.”

Yagi Miyuki sighed, feeling helpless, and commented, “If you’re so afraid of being discovered, then don’t show your tail in public places like the school swimming pool. Isn’t it strange not to be discovered like this?”

“But on Fridays, no one ever comes to the No. 3 pool. If it weren’t for Yagi-sensei…”

Narase Mero pouted, defending herself with a hint of grievance.

Yagi Miyuki felt like she had a big heart, actually having a casual conversation with a legendary creature like this. But she wasn’t a normal person herself, maybe it was easier for her to accept because she had experienced things like transmigration.

“Here…”

Yagi Miyuki took a stack of test papers from her backpack and handed them to Narase Mero. “These are the papers I found yesterday. Do them over the weekend, and after I see your results, I’ll help you create a study plan.”

“Ah… okay.”

Narase Mero accepted the test papers with a somewhat sad expression.

“You said you have to clean the swimming pool, but it’s not just you, right?”

Yagi Miyuki glanced at the swimming pool, which was definitely not smaller than 50 square meters, and asked casually.

“Yeah.”

Narase Mero nodded, smiling innocently. She said, “Every time on Fridays when we clean the pool, it seems like the upperclassmen are busy, so it’s always been me doing the cleaning.”

“…”

Yagi Miyuki covered her face with her hand.

Hey, hey, isn’t this clearly bullying you? It’s practically schoolyard bullying, and you should at least fight back a little, right?

Yagi Miyuki looked at the mermaid girl in front of her, who was smiling like a silly child, with pity.

It’s not surprising that Narase Mero is being bullied. She’s not very clever, and oh, using the specialized term for beautiful girls – innocent. Who else would they bully if not her?

“I…”

Yagi Miyuki’s lips moved, and he thought about turning around and leaving. But since he was already here, completely ignoring the situation would be a bit impolite, although he really wanted to go home right away.

“Forget it.”

Although he didn’t consider himself a gentleman, this was a small effort, and he didn’t mind helping out a bit.

Yagi Miyuki shook her head and said, “As a… um, apology for disturbing you, I’ll help you clean the pool.”

“Huh?”

Narase Mero was momentarily stunned, then she shook her head and said, “No need. I can finish this job quickly by myself. Besides, Yagi-sensei, I’m already grateful that you’re keeping my secret. I can’t trouble you further.”
