Two Merry
Nami looked at Merry with emotion... the fish and crab in her hands, "Bell-mère, the octopus man, ah, I haven't asked your name yet."
"My name is Merry, and I'm an octopus mermaid."
"Hello, Merry," Nami clasped her hands together and looked at Bell-Mel expectantly, "Merry is a very kind person. Let's invite her to our house for dinner, okay?"
Sincerity touches people's hearts.
Bellemeier was extremely helpless, and his tone softened a bit: "I think you, little greedy cat, have set your eyes on the fish in someone's hand."
"These are all welcome gifts for you," Meli hurriedly handed the things in his hand forward with a bright smile, "Please feel free to accept them."
"Bellmère, please." Three pairs of expectant eyes stared at Bellmère.
"Okay, okay,"
Bellemeier was finally defeated. She sighed and smiled, "There's really nothing I can do about you."
"marvelous!"
Nami and Nojigo cheered and hugged Merry excitedly.
Bellemere looked at the three little guys, smiled and shook her head. She took the big crab from Meli's hand and carried it on her shoulder.
"Let's go home."
"Yeah, time to go home and have a big dinner!"
Merry followed Nami and the others, carrying a bag full of seafood, and walked towards home.
The three little guys were walking on the road, chattering non-stop.
"What a big fish! I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight."
"I've never seen such a big crab before."
"Its claws are so huge, they must be full of meat!"
"This fish and crab are both super delicious."
......
As the night deepened, the stars began to shine.
Ajian came as promised and was surprised to see the various delicious seafood on the table.
"You have a good harvest today."
"Yeah, thanks to Merry's help, there are some really big crabs in the pool out back."
"Merry? I don't think I've seen this kid before."
"This is our new friend Merry."
......
After eating and drinking, Merry, Nami and Noki couldn't wait to run to the pool to see the huge king crab.
There was so much seafood today that the two adults and three children could not finish it all, so the astonishingly large king crab was kept.
Looking at the mess on the table, Ajian stood up and helped clean it up: "Thank you for your hospitality, please let me help wash the dishes."
"Although it's not right to let guests do work," Bellmère chuckled and looked at Jian meaningfully, "but Jian-kun is not an outsider, so I'll trouble you."
"Of course," Ajian seemed to be burned by this smile, and a suspicious blush appeared behind his ears, "Leave it to me."
After saying that, he quickly cleaned up the dishes and rushed into the kitchen as if his butt was on fire.
Bellmère looked at Ajian's back as he seemed to be fleeing in panic, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Such a big man with a rough appearance, but unexpectedly he is very innocent inside. However, he blushes at the slightest teasing, which is really interesting.
Bellmère stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Do you need my help?"
The kitchen is so small, how can two people turn around?
Thinking of this, Ajian froze suddenly. He raised his voice in panic: "No need! Just wait."
"Oh, it's not hot, why is your face so red, Jianjun?" Bellemeier's smile deepened. She leaned against the kitchen door and reached out, pretending to touch Jian's face. "Are you allergic to seafood?"
Ah Jian stepped back shyly, his eyes nervous: "I'm not allergic, I'm just... I'm more afraid of heat."
"Really? Then let me help you wipe the sweat off your face."
"No need! Really not!"
"Why are you so loud? If you're not allergic to seafood, are you shy? If Ken-kun is interested in me, I don't mind."
Ah Jian's face suddenly turned redder, but his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "I...I..."
"Hahahaha, I'm just teasing you." Bellemeier patted Ajian's shoulder with great joy, laughing so hard that he fell backwards. "Your reaction is so funny! Hahahaha."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Ajian's eyes, and he complained helplessly: "Please don't keep making jokes like this." He couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Oh, your reaction is so funny, I can't help it."
Bellmère smiled and walked away, leaving Ajian alone in the kitchen feeling a little lost.
The faucet was running, and Ajian stopped washing dishes from time to time and turned his head to look out the window.
Bellmère and a few other kids were having a lot of fun playing outside, with bursts of laughter coming from time to time.
Hearing the laughter outside, Ajian was a little dazed: the girl who was like a bad girl when she was young has grown up to be a very outstanding mother.
"Jianjun, have you washed the dishes?" Bellmère suddenly turned his head and met Jian's eyes through the window. The smile on his face was like the scorching sun, hot and dazzling.
Ah Jian was caught on the spot. His hands trembled and he almost dropped the bowl in his hand: "Hurry up and wash it."
"Hahaha, I didn't do anything, why is Jianjun blushing again?"
"Ken-san is blushing!" Nami and Nojiko also squeezed to the window and laughed.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Unbridled laughter echoed in the night wind.
After washing the dishes, Ajian took out a Den Den Mushi from his faded canvas bag and came to Bellmère and the children.
"This is the photo Den Den Mushi I borrowed a few days ago. You're having such a great time today, would you like to take a picture to record it?"
Nami and Nojigo moved closer to the snail, observing it curiously.
"Take a picture? What is a picture?"
"Wow, what a strange snail!"
Den Den Mushi shrank its head shyly.
"It's just to record the beautiful moment of you at this moment, so you can take it out and look at it at any time in the future."
"That sounds great, I want to take a picture."
"I want to take a picture too, I want to take a picture!"
"Stand together, I'll take a picture of you."
Nami and Nojigo happily rushed to Bell-mère, hugged her arms on the left and right, and smiled brightly.
Bellmère waved to Meli next to him and said, "Meli, come over and take some photos with us."
"Can I do it too?" Meli pointed at herself with some surprise.
"Of course, come here!"
Merry approached Nami expectantly, and was hugged by her, kissing her cheek affectionately.
"Hey, wait, let's bring the King over to take a photo together."
Ah Jian looked puzzled: "Great King?"
"That's the king crab. Take it with you."
Bellmère laughed and said, "How can you take a photo with a crab?"
"This is no ordinary crab."
"I really can't do anything about you."
They still fished the king crab out of the pond.
The two pliers were tied together with ropes, and Nami and Nojiko each held one plier.
"Hold on tight, don't let the crab get away."
Ah Jian half-crouched down and raised the Den Den Mushi: "Okay, everyone, smile. Three, two, one."
"Eggplant——" Merry, Nami, Nojigo and Bellmère all grinned.
The Den Den Mushi blinked, and a very thin silver light flashed, "Click——"
Nami immediately ran to Ah Jian's side and stood on tiptoe: "Is the filming done? I want to see it."
Ah Jian smiled and shook his head: "You can't see it now, you have to develop the photos."
"Let me help wash!" Nojigo volunteered and raised his hand.
"Hahaha, this isn't the same as washing dishes. You need special solutions."
"Huh? That's so troublesome."
"Want to take two more pictures?"
"Okay, okay."
Four smiling faces under the starlight were all frozen in time.
......
Meli had a great time in Kokoasi Village for several days before reluctantly saying goodbye to Nami.
On the way back to Windmill Village, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened without warning.
Large patches of inky black clouds rolled and spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
boom!
Muffled thunder exploded in the clouds, and lightning danced like silver snakes.
A gray-white column of water suddenly rose from the sea, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded into a giant python connecting the sky and the sea.
White teeth! That's a sea tornado!
Meli's eyes narrowed, she turned over suddenly and wanted to dive to the bottom of the sea, but the speed of the sea tornado was astonishingly fast.
A powerful suction force suddenly grabbed Meli, dragged her into the sea tornado, and swept her away from her original course.
The water and wind formed a crazy whirlpool, and Meli was pulled by an irresistible force. Everything in front of her was spinning wildly, making her dizzy.
She felt as if her consciousness and body were not in the same dimension. They were being pulled wildly and finally shattered into white foam.
Meli's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes with difficulty. Her vision went from blurry to clear.
"Great, you're awake." The sheep-headed young man smiled gently.
The young man had fluffy wooly curls, clear amber pupils, cheeks covered with soft curly hair, and two curved sheep horns on his head.
Meli stared at the pair of sheep horns in a daze. After several seconds, she raised her hand as if possessed by a demon and reached out to the horns.
For some reason, the young man in front of him gave Meli a very friendly feeling.
"Eh!?" The young man took a step back abruptly, his ears instantly turning red, and his speech became stammering. "It...it itches."
Mellie blinked and sat up. "Who are you?"
"This is Xiluobu Village," the sheep-headed youth explained patiently, pointing to the distant beach. "Last night when the tide receded, I saw the waves sweep you into the shallows and get you stuck between the rocks. So, I fished you out."
Memories before he fainted came flooding back, and remembering the terrifying tornado scene, Meli hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for saving me. What's your name?"
"You're welcome. My name is Merry." The sheep-headed youth shyly rubbed the tips of his ears, which were burning. "What about you?"
The air was silent for two seconds.
Merry's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "What a coincidence! My name is Merry too!"
"Huh?" The sheep-headed young man was also stunned.
No, now you should call him Mr. Maylie.
Mr. Meili's eyes curved, "It seems we are destined to meet, Meili girl, nice to meet you."
"I'm very glad too, Mr. Maylie."
