Devil's Department Store

It wasn't Ella who struck up a conversation first, she just parked the wheelchair far away on the side of the couple, and then just like every time she peeked at Miser and Belphegor, she propped her chin and watched their interaction—— Then it was discovered.

The couple looked at the mermaid, discussed in a low voice, and walked towards Ella.

The mermaid has been peeping at Miser for so long, she is very experienced in this, she knows that she must not be caught, otherwise she will be scolded, but just when she was about to run away, the man stopped her, the mermaid had no choice but to stop. He got down and lowered his head pitifully.

"Hello, do you need any help?" The young man looked at Ella and asked with concern.

Not being scolded, Ella timidly raised her head and glanced at the other party. Although he was not as good as the inhumans in the store, the man was undoubtedly very handsome, and the smile on his face could melt anyone's heart.

The mermaid's gaze fell on his girlfriend again. In this university campus full of young people, she looked overly mature, and her shallow nasolabial folds made her look a little serious. She didn't look like a man. She leaned over to ask, but her brown eyes also contained worries about the mermaid.

Ella looked at her for a while, shrunk her neck, dared not speak, only shook her head.

"Did you come out alone? Where is your family?" the man asked again.

Ella shook her head again.

The man showed a worried expression and said, "Then do you know the address of your home? Shall we take you back?"

Ella thought for a while, and was about to speak when she saw the woman frowned and said, "Don't let her say the address, it's not safe for such a girl to develop this habit."

Hearing this, the man showed a helpless expression, and said, "You are too caring, and we are not bad people."

The woman shook her head, took out her mobile phone, and said to Ella, "I'll call the police directly for you."

Ella didn't quite understand what it meant to call the police, but she vaguely felt bad. Just when she started to panic, Miser showed up with Belphinger at the right time.

The succubus supported the wheelchair and smiled at the woman: "No, no need, thank you, sorry, we both lost our minds accidentally, and she disappeared."

The man froze for a moment, looked at Miser and Belphegor, and said with a smile, "So that's it, it doesn't matter, as long as we find someone."

The woman asked aggressively, "What's your relationship with her?"

Miser thought her affinity was invincible, but she didn't expect to be questioned, so she subconsciously said, "This is our daughter."

Everyone: "..."

There was an awkward silence.

Woman: "...Excuse me?"

Belphegor laughed and added, "Adopted."

Miser nodded quickly.

The woman still seemed to be very suspicious of them. Seeing this, Ella quickly said, "Thank you, but Miser is really a good person! We are together!"

The woman looked at the mermaid, and the expression on her face gradually eased until she was sure that there was no sign of coercion. When her boyfriend saw this, he apologized to the two of them, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood you."

The woman also showed an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry."

Miser's eyes turned to the two of them, and she smiled at the woman, "It's okay, if we're really not here, I still hope that Ella can meet a kind person like you."

The woman smiled, shook her head, and tugged at her boyfriend's hand, indicating that they could leave. The man looked at Ella again, smiled at her reassuringly, and walked away with the woman.

As soon as the two of them were out of sight, the false smile on Miser's face disappeared immediately, and he looked down at the mermaid expressionlessly, and said, "That's it? That's it? He was talking about looking for someone, but he ran out or just Will you watch people fall in love?"

Ayla lowered her head in embarrassment.

Miser sighed: "Forget it, the potion time is almost up, let's go back to the store."

In fact, the little princess didn't have enough fun, but she didn't dare to refute, so she had to obediently go back to Devil's Department Store with Miser.

It's mealtime now, and there are fewer customers. Robert was lying on the cash register and loafing. When he saw the three people coming back in disgrace, he asked curiously, "How's the situation? Are there any humans suitable for Ella?"

It’s okay if Robert doesn’t ask, but Miser gets angry when he asks, and pushes Ella forward angrily: “Ask her herself!”

The little mermaid pouted.

The idle employees all came over to watch the excitement: "What's the matter?"

Miser briefly described what happened during the day today, and said to Ella seriously: "If you just like to watch other people fall in love, then you can have a computer and a mobile phone. Human beings have made countless TV series about love. You can see The end of the world! Instead of making a wish that you don’t even want and then having a department store owner who’s too busy to take you out for a walk.”

The little princess of the mermaid clan has probably never been criticized so harshly in her life, tears fell immediately, and she sobbed, "I'm sorry, oh, but, but..."

Seeing this, Miser couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. After all, Ella is a little mentally handicapped. It's normal to not know what she wants for a while, not to mention that he also took money from her own father, so it doesn't matter to waste a little time.

"But the mobile phone and the computer, oh, oh, they can't be used in the water..." Ella said sadly.

Miser: "..."

If Ella was real, Miser would be looking for slippers by now.

But unfortunately not, the depressed Miser had no choice but to grab Belphegor's hand and said seriously: "Go, go to sleep."

Belphegor was stunned for a moment, and then immediately gave Ella a positive look: "Good performance, keep it up!"

Mermaid: "..."

Seeing the back of the two leaving her behind, the mermaid cried.

Ayla: "Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, sweet love!"

All the employees watching: "..."

Alas, there is no help.

In fact, Ella didn't expect things to turn out like this. She came to Devil's Department Store because of Garcia's story, and the love between Miser and Belphegor strengthened her determination to find a lover, but she really has the ability to go. love someone?Among the humans she met during the day, was there the one she wanted?

When it was dark, the little mermaid returned to her original form with her chaotic thoughts, and fell asleep under the fish tank.

In her dream, scenes and protagonists from countless stories appeared, they flashed like a revolving lantern, and what was left in the end was a ray of bright sunshine, shaking tree shadows, noisy voices from the university, and a pair of eyes...

-

"What?" Miser, who had been played with by Belphegor all night, said with dark circles under her eyes, "She still wants to go out?"

Al nodded. The little mermaid made Miser unhappy yesterday, so she didn't dare to come over to make a request by herself, so she begged the angel to send a message for her: "And it's still in the same place as yesterday."

Miser turned sideways and saw Ella hiding in the fish tank and peeping at her. The trembling expression on the little mermaid's face eased the succubus' expression.

But soon, Miser yawned again, frowned and said: "I want to take her there, but... ha--I'm so sleepy, why don't you discuss it and choose someone to accompany her, and I will let you go." Take a day off."

As soon as Miser said this, Robert, who had been eavesdropping, jumped out immediately: "Me! Me, me, me! I know the human world!"

Miser glanced at it and said slowly, "Except for birds, cats, and dogs."

"Why!" Robert exclaimed unwillingly.

Miser said blankly: "What can you do with her? Turns out the fish was not lost, but you were taken away. I have to go out and post a cat hunting notice. Doesn't the paper cost money?"

Robert: "..."

Al actually wanted to go out and be lazy, but as a former guardian angel, Al knew that looking at a silly mermaid might not be more worry-free than working, so he said immediately: "Then let Harry go, isn't Harry also very familiar with the human world?" ?”

Miser had no objection, nodded, and said, "Then go talk to Harry." Then he stretched himself and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

Ella was playing with her fingers in the fish tank, and after a while, Harry, the vampire with a stinky face, jumped up, and then smiled at him embarrassedly, and said sweetly: "Thank you !"

Harry was not a bully either. Facing the polite little mermaid, the impatience on his face faded a little. He handed the potion to the other party and said, "Drink quickly, go early and return early."

Ella nodded quickly.

Harry took Ella to the school that Miser mentioned. This time the mermaid didn't run around, but stayed obediently by the road. Because Harry's expression was too fierce, even though they were both good-looking, they didn't do it this time. A few people dared to strike up a conversation.

Half an hour passed, and the always lively mermaid was as quiet as a chicken. Harry sensed something was wrong and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"

Ella blushed a little, and she nodded slightly.

"Who?" Harry asked.

Ella was thinking about how to describe it, when suddenly her eyes lit up, she pointed in one direction and said, "They are here!"

Harry raised his head and found that it was a couple who seemed to know the mermaid too. After seeing Ella, they also walked towards this side and greeted Harry politely.

"Is this your brother?" the man asked with a smile.

The little mermaid looked at them without blinking, nodded slightly, and said shyly, "Hi, my name is Ella, can you tell me your name?"

The man smiled cordially and said, "I'm Hope, and she's Caroline. Nice to meet you, Ella."

Harry, who was standing behind Ella, stared at the man for a while, then frowned and said to the mermaid, "Misser has seen them?"

Ella nodded.

Harry hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't speak. The couple chatted with the mermaid for a while, and then left.

Ella looked at their backs until they disappeared completely, then she raised her head and said to Harry contentedly, "We can go back now!"

"Stop looking at the others?" Harry asked.

Ella thought that the vampire would be bothered to bring her out, so she couldn't help being flattered, but she shook her head and said, "No, thank you."

Harry responded.

After returning to Devil's Department Store, Harry found that he still couldn't let go of this matter, so he couldn't help but mention it to Miser during dinner: "The mermaid seems to care about that couple, but the man gave me It didn't feel good, and I don't think the mermaid should have any contact with him."

Robert pouted while eating the can: "Isn't the point that they are a couple? Ella can't do things like prying corners."

Belphegor cut the meat gracefully: "Why not? You should get what you like, it's a matter of course."

"Go!" Miser took the meat off Belphegor's plate with a fork, and said to Harry in relief, "Although we don't say anything, Harry still cares about his sister!"

Before Harry was shy, Miser frowned and recalled: "But that man's soul is really inferior, Ella, do you like that man? Let's change it, let's not talk about him having a girlfriend, that guy You're such a scumbag, you can't even eat if you say it."

Ella was eating shells in the water. Hearing what they said, she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't like Hope!"

"That's good," Miser relieved, and smiled at Belphegor, "Look, Ella didn't even want to pry the corner of the wall!"

The mermaid blushed and said, "I, I dreamed of Caroline last night..."

Everyone: "..."

"Who?" Miser was confused.

Harry reminded him friendly: "That woman is Hope's girlfriend."

Miser: "..."Damn it!

Belphegor nodded in satisfaction, and said, "If it's that woman, it's not bad. Her soul quality is very good, she's wise and upright."

Belphegor was right, but Miser had other worries. He hesitated for a while, and said to Ella, "Baby, this choice may not be very good, except for the problem of prying the corner, that woman named Caroline With a boyfriend, she probably won't like people of the same gender as her."

"Ah?" Ella put down the shell in her hand, became depressed visibly, and whispered softly, "Really?"

Everyone at the dining table looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time the little mermaid princess showed such an expression after she came to the Devil's Department Store. Even if Miser was angry at her before, she was just crying.

Although she was angry at Ella for not being enlightened before, at this moment Miser couldn't help secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Talking about a split love and being addicted to true love are completely different things. The latter is much more serious than the former, and Ella seems to be planning to slip into the latter. Garcia is miserable - there is a high probability that people will not like her at all!

Miser thought about it, and decided to stop the loss in time, and said to the little mermaid: "Don't go out tomorrow, Ella, the possibility of you being with that woman is very slim, try to forget about her before you get completely stuck. "

The little mermaid leaned on the glass of the fish tank and looked at Miser sadly, but she knew that the other party was looking out for her, so she nodded obediently and said in a low voice, "I will work hard."
