Chapter 31: The Mermaid Lady Discovers a New World

“Wow… I actually remembered it!”

Narase Mero looked surprised, pulling at her pinkish long hair and mumbled, “I couldn’t remember it no matter what before.”

“Why is that?”

Narase Mero, with her wet body, leaned towards Yagi Miyuki, blinking her bright purple eyes, and asked with a face full of curiosity, “Yagi-sensei?”

Yagi Miyuki rolled his eyes.

Crazy! You’re asking me why your brain is like this? I should be asking you the same!

“Please tell me!”

Seeing Narase Mero getting closer, her hands on the edge of the bathtub, looking like she was about to pounce, Yagi Miyuki quickly took two steps back.

Honestly, this silly girl might actually pounce.

“Please, please tell me!”

Narase Mero’s bright purple eyes seemed to sparkle. Her pink tail stood upright, and with a leap, she pounced towards Yagi Miyuki.

“Hey, hey, hey—”

Caught off guard, Yagi Miyuki was knocked to the ground by the mermaid lady, with her on top.

“Mr. Yagi! I want to know!”

Narase Mero’s hands were on Yagi Miyuki, her pink tail elegantly coiled, her hands propped on either side of his head, looking like she was pinning him against the wall.

Lying on the cold floor, Yagi Miyuki turned his head away, looking utterly disheartened. Normally, any man would be thrilled to have such a beautiful girl on top of him, but all he felt was exhaustion.

This is a disaster—

How did he end up with such a silly girl? He might just die of frustration one day.

“Yagi-sensei?”

Noticing she was being ignored, Narase Mero sweetly placed her hand on Yagi Miyuki’s cheek, gently straightening his tilted head, and stared into his eyes with her sparkling eyes.

“Stop messing around, get up.”

Yagi Miyuki said helplessly, then guiltily looked away.

This idiot, wearing such a loose shirt and in this position, had already shown him more than he should see.

“Oh.”

Seeing Yagi Miyuki’s displeased expression, Narase Mero obediently straightened up, her tail fluttering somewhat nervously.

Yagi Miyuki stood up, looking down at his school uniform that had gotten wet when the foolish mermaid lady pounced on him, and felt like crying but had no tears.

“Eh, wait?”

Yagi Miyuki suddenly frowned, as if realizing something, and looked towards the bathtub behind Narase Mero.

When she was in the living room just now, her intelligence was like “2G” with extreme latency. But once she got into the bathtub, it became “4G.” The reason seemed obvious—it was an environmental issue.

“Could it be that mermaids only become intelligent in water?”

Yagi Miyuki muttered to himself, “Fish die when they leave the water; do mermaids become less intelligent when they leave the water?”

“I think I know what’s going on.”

Yagi Miyuki adjusted his glasses and said, “It’s probably due to the environment, but I can’t be sure. Let’s conduct an experiment first.”

“Okay!”

Narase Mero nodded her head like a pecking chick.

Ten minutes later, Yagi Miyuki had an unsurprised look, “It seems it’s indeed an environmental issue. I’ve been teaching you on land for so long, and you didn’t learn a single phonetic symbol. But just now in the bathtub, you easily remembered them.”

“I see!”

Narase Mero clenched her right fist and tapped it on the palm of her left hand, as if she had an epiphany, “This is the first time I’ve studied in water. I usually fall asleep as soon as I get into the bathtub, no wonder I never noticed.”

Saying this, Narase Mero excitedly swayed her beautiful tail fin.

“This isn’t something to be happy about, is it?”

Yagi Miyuki said speechlessly, “Having to be in water to have normal learning abilities is a congenital defect…”

Yagi Miyuki didn’t continue speaking.

With such a congenital defect, or rather, a physiological characteristic of mermaids, Narase Mero could be said to be under an all-round intelligence reduction on land, which greatly affects her normal life.

“And also…”

Yagi Miyuki’s mouth twitched, “It seems that I’ll have to tutor you here from now on.”

The idea of studying in the bathroom was bizarre enough for one time, let alone countless times in the future.

“Does that mean you’ll come to my house every day from now on, Yagi-sensei? That’s great!”

Narase Mero was immediately overjoyed.

Not great at all!

Yagi Miyuki covered his face.

Although the school has a swimming pool, studying in such a public place would be too conspicuous. Therefore, Narase’s house, which is less than three minutes away from the school, is the best choice.

“By the way…”

An image suddenly flashed in Yagi Miyuki’s mind, recalling when Narase Mero had knocked him to the ground, he asked, “Is your skin color tanned?”

Narase Mero’s skin was a healthy bronze color, but he had just noticed that her abdomen, waist, and collarbone areas were all snow-white and delicate. It looked like… a one-piece swimsuit?

“Hmm.”

Narase Mero casually lifted her shirt, revealing her smooth, white belly and slender waist. She innocently said, “I spent half a month at the beach with my mom during the summer vacation. I was running around on the beach every day, so except for the parts covered by my swimsuit, the rest got tanned.”

What indecent tan lines…

Yagi Miyuki turned his head away, avoiding looking at Narase Mero’s eye-catching skin. He somewhat regretted bringing up the topic and calmly said, “If it’s a tan, it should return to normal soon enough.”

“Yeah, Mom said the same thing, but it doesn’t really matter,” Narase Mero said with a radiant smile. “Let’s continue learning that… what do you call it, musical notes, Mr. Yagi?”

“It’s English phonetics!”

Yagi Miyuki was exasperated!

When the mermaid’s tail leaves the ground, her intelligence takes the high ground. Although her memory in the bathtub wasn’t particularly strong, it was at the level of a normal human being. She quickly memorized all 12 vowel sounds, much to Yagi Miyuki’s relief.

“That’s enough for today.”

Yagi Miyuki checked the time on his phone; it was already close to 5:30 PM. If he didn’t leave now, he would be late for his interview.

“Review the phonetics I taught you a few more times. If you keep this up, you should have no problem passing your English exam.”

“Mr. Yagi, are you leaving?”

“Yes.”

“Let me walk you out.”

Narase Mero leapt out of the bathtub, shaking her beautiful cherry-pink long hair. She seemed a bit reluctant but still wore a sweet smile on her face.

“No need.”

Yagi Miyuki looked at her wet, translucent shirt and said, “Don’t catch a cold… never mind, see you tomorrow.”

Yagi Miyuki shook his head. He wasn’t sure if mermaids could catch colds. Well, probably not.
