Chapter 208: We Describe Her in Four Words

“What kind of ridiculous, overpowered protagonist story is this?”

Yagi Miyuki, baffled, tossed the book “Mermaid and Priestess” back onto the table.

“Why would Ninomiya-senpai read this kind of book?”

Just from skimming through it, he was somewhat disgusted by the cliché and brainless content of the book. It didn’t seem like something Ninomiya-senpai would read.

The story seemed to be set in a parallel world to Earth, similar to the world of ‘One Piece’, around the mid-5th century, where the timeline diverged from our Earth.

According to the book, due to a global flood, continents sank one after another, with oceans covering ninety percent of the planet, leading to a polarization of humanity.

Some wealthy and beautiful elites remained on land, while the majority of ordinary people were engulfed by the sea. After 15 centuries, under the mystical environment of something called the “Deep Sea Curse”, a ridiculous and nonsensical evolution occurred, resulting in fish tails and… superpowers!

Yes, superpowers!

However, these weren’t anything extraordinary, just like the mythical sirens, capable of enchanting various creatures with their singing, but quite weak, immune to those with strong willpower like Yagi Miyuki.

The plot then became absurd, with mermaids, burdened by their ancestors’ wishes, seeking revenge on humans on land in a cliché manner.

Having evolved beyond humans, they could switch between fish tails and human legs and had superpowers. Humans on land soon fell.

Oh, there was a note here. It mentioned that the 20th century, due to various reasons, was still in the steam era, with steam guns as the most powerful weapon.

But when science fell short, theology stepped in. Humans, in a desperate move, activated ancient magic circles to summon a priestess from another world.

This priestess was exaggerated, even more overpowered than typical protagonists, described as a priestess who could be likened to a god.

Yagi Miyuki could only think of four characters to describe her – Saiki Kusuo.

He recalled an interesting anime he had seen, where the protagonist was a born superpower user, with abilities so strong that he was virtually omnipotent.

From walking through walls to time travel, gender change to transforming into a Super Saiyan protecting Earth, he was all-powerful, even passively hearing people’s inner thoughts. In short, there was nothing he couldn’t do.

The priestess in the book was almost on this level.

He didn’t read further, just skimmed through the rest, which seemed to be a typical happy ending.

However, one particular setting about mermaids caught his attention.

The book emphasized that mermaids were originally innocent and kind-hearted. But when something precious to them was taken, they would temporarily lose their sanity, entering a state of recklessness to reclaim what they lost. The more they lost, the more this state would solidify, forming a new personality.

Thus, the mermaids who lost their homelands, even after centuries, still harbored hatred. As a result, all the mermaids in the book belonged to a chaotic evil alignment, each appearing mentally deranged, showing no sign of innocence or kindness.

He paid attention to this because… it seemed to explain the symptoms of Narase Mero’s transformation!

Yagi Miyuki’s eyelids twitched.

He had an unsettling feeling.

Had it not been for this explanation about mermaids, he wouldn’t have given this novel a second thought. But now, he couldn’t help but wonder if this book could be… a true account?

After all, the origins of ‘Miss mermaid’ were mysterious. Considering his childhood friend had soul-traveled from a post-apocalyptic parallel world, it wasn’t far-fetched to think the same could be true for ‘Miss mermaid’.

Considering how common transmigrators seemed to be, nothing was too surprising.

“This book…”

After pondering for a moment, Yagi Miyuki picked up the novel again, flipping through it back and forth. He noticed that apart from the title, there was no other information.

No author, publisher, or price was listed.

In such cases, there’s usually only one possibility.

The book wasn’t published commercially, but was likely self-published for personal enjoyment by the author.

Even unauthorized pirated books with no author’s permission for printing would at least have the author’s name on them.

Yagi Miyuki’s expression fluctuated. After searching online with his phone, he became more convinced of his speculation.

Since there was no data about this novel online, it was certain that the book had not been commercially released. So the question arose: how did Ninomiya-senpai get this book?

“Never mind…”

Yagi Miyuki soon calmed down and shook his head, “I’ll just ask Ninomiya-senpai about it tomorrow.”

Regardless of the novel’s background, it wouldn’t affect his life. If it indeed was a memoir written by some unknown entity, that would be advantageous. He could glean information about Narase Mero from it, and some explanations about mermaids might even help him escape a dangerous situation.

Yagi Miyuki shuddered.

He would probably never forget the scene of Narase Mero wielding a kitchen knife at him that noon.

“Brother, what are you daydreaming about? The water in the bath is about to overflow!”

“Uh…”

Yagi Miyuki turned his head, not knowing when Michako had appeared beside him. She looked displeased as she turned off the still-running water heater, then pouted, “Don’t waste resources, brother.”

“Right, sorry.”

Yagi Miyuki apologetically rubbed his sister’s head.

“Dinner is ready.”

Michako’s face quickly softened again, her eyes twinkling as she smiled, “Let’s have dinner together, and then… shall we take a bath together?”

“Next time for sure.”

Yagi Miyuki, without changing his expression, took the novel Ninomiya-senpai had left behind and hastily left the bathroom.

…

Monday.

After the morning classes, Yagi Miyuki didn’t give any chance to Hoshino Seiya, who sat at the neighboring desk and seemed to be hesitating since morning, but eventually appeared eager to invite him to lunch. As soon as the bell rang, he immediately left the classroom.

“Why do I have to go there for lunch?”

Yagi Miyuki, holding a lunchbox in one hand and the book “Mermaid and Priestess” in the other, muttered to himself as he walked towards the literature club’s activity room.

Before, it was one thing, but now his ex-girlfriend was also a member of the literature club. If another situation with two girls and one boy occurred, he would be exhausted again… cough, emotionally drained.
