Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

After living with Sweet for a month, the room was suddenly empty, and Klein was not used to it.

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, my mind is still not clear, and I make breakfast for two people in a daze. When preparing the second tableware, I realize that Sweet has moved away.

Whenever this happened, Klein would find his reaction amused——Switt's appearance was an accident.

If he hadn't met Mephides at the crossroads that night, he should have spent these three months of vacation alone, like every previous vacation period.

The habit is terrible. After taking too much tableware again, Klein stood in the kitchen for a while, put the extra tableware into the cabinet, and took his own plate to the dining room to finish breakfast. A thought slowly came to him. Came to mind - as before.

This thought was like a switch, instantly opening the door of Klein's memory, and every vacation in the past seven years went through in his mind.

While eating breakfast, he picked out the practicable parts and tried to refill the remaining month.

So, that morning, Klein went to the Pearl. Under the surprised eyes of Nata and the others, he patiently played cards with them all morning, and then had a routine with every crew member on board. conversation.

As the afternoon passed, just when the crew thought he was going home to rest, he changed his worrying habits and proposed to go to a tavern for a drink with them.

Now, Nata and the others didn't say anything, but they all sensed something was wrong in their hearts.

For a long time, Klein's image in the hearts of the crew has changed a lot——

In the eyes of the young crew members, Klein is a mature, stable, and masculine captain. He is handsome, soft-spoken, and far-sighted. He can always make the right decision at the right time. He is a man of the same age group. The way I want to be.

The older and sharp-eyed crew members could see that Klein was able to accumulate enough sailing experience to impress everyone at a young age because he was focused and restrained enough.

He is always very patient, able to correct the smallest errors on the nautical chart over and over again, and sometimes even go back and forth on a route repeatedly for a complete map.

But human energy is limited, Klein spends most of his time and energy on sailing, so he is destined to ignore other aspects.

For example, life—

Anyone who has dealt with Klein, no one will think that he has a bad temper. The most rare thing is that his good temper is not available immediately, but is always there.

But people with a little bit of life experience know that almost no one can keep gentle and elegant all the time, and even the most decent gentleman will occasionally lose control because of bad emotions.

The reason why Klein was able to do it was firstly because he had a strong control over his emotions, and secondly because he never really went deep into the entanglement between people, but instead continued the joy at first sight infinitely go down.

None of the crew members on the Pearl doubted Klein's love, tolerance, and indulgence for them, but they had to admit that once they left the sea environment, it was actually very difficult for the captain in life to get close.

The attitude is still the same, and the tone is the same as before. I can't explain why. Whenever Klein gets off the boat and returns to Paloi Port, there will be unconcealable exhaustion and nostalgia between his brows, like a person eager to find a nest to rest. Seabirds that can't be found anywhere.

Klein talked about his youthful experience on the ship, and he himself downplayed it, but the older crew members could see that he was too self-controlled, and even had a somewhat harsh temper towards himself, which stemmed from the blow brought to him by the death of his grandfather. And tried to enlighten him.

However, after talking a few times, they discovered that Klein's mind was very flexible. It's not that he couldn't get out of that past, but he didn't want to get out.

No one can persuade him except himself.

It's also a contradiction to say—the captain, who has absolute confidence in sailing, still can't let go of it, and at the same time, he is unwilling to accept that he is now alone.

The crew members always urge Klein to get married quickly, and Klein usually subtly avoids the crew's devious concerns.

After many times, it is not difficult to see that he enjoys the feeling of home he created, but he also feels lonely because he knows in his heart that this "home" does not exist.

Therefore, during each off-sea period, the crew including Nata would not force Klein to join their wanton and chaotic carnival. They defaulted that Klein needed to be alone, and only occasionally went to his house together to have a meal and have fun.

When they came as guests, Klein welcomed them very much and was happy to get along with them, but he rarely took the initiative to participate in their daily life.

Like now, Nata and the others were startled by suddenly proposing to drink with them.

On the way to the tavern, Nata and Patrick winked at each other and communicated in the air through their eyes——

【What's up with him? 】

【how could I know? 】

[Ask. 】

【You ask. 】

【? 】

【…】

While walking, Nata suddenly kicked Patrick from behind. Patrick jumped forward and bumped into Klein. Klein quickly supported him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Patrick glanced at Nata who was whistling and clearing his throat out of the corner of his eye, his forehead twitched, and he turned his head to act as a communication ambassador resignedly, and said, "It's nothing, Nata is just kidding with me. By the way, Captain, Why are you free to drink with us today?"

Nata: "..."

She glared at Patrick, 【How could anyone ask such a direct question? 】

Patrick felt that he was wronged, and his brows almost drooped, [you can ask me if you want! 】

Klein didn't need to turn his head to know that they must be doing tricks. He pretended not to notice, and replied, "I haven't participated in a private dinner for a long time. Today's weather is fine, so I want to go out for a walk. Besides, if I'm here, I can also make you feel less Drink some wine, we're going to sail in a month, don't get drunk and make trouble."

It's not true at first glance.

Bobby was originally joking with others, but when he heard Klein say this, he said, "Ah?" with a sad face, "No, it's finally my turn to rest today, and I don't have to be on duty. Why don't you come early or late, Captain? Take care of us?"

As he was talking, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it's because that Smith left, and you are the only one left at home. Are you bored?"

Patrick wondered, "Who is Smith?"

Nata: "..."

Now she wanted to stuff the word "Sweet" into Bobby's mouth, and then fisted it into his stomach, to shut him up completely.

When did the Pearl attract these dumb mallets?

Patrick didn't react, but Klein understood Bobby's meaning, his expression was blank for a second, and he smiled and said, "Let's take it for granted."

Bobby still wanted to talk, but Nata caught up with him from behind and grabbed his shoulders, wrapped his arms around his neck to cover his mouth, and yelled, "Stop talking nonsense, Klein, this is you I delivered it to your door by myself, I have wanted to clean you up for a long time, don't even think about walking back upright today!"

Nata did what she said, and stared at Klein for the whole night, and Patrick and several others followed suit. Klein couldn't stand it after a while, and lay down on the table pretending to be drunk to rest.

The person who was caught in the fire got down, and the chaos mode started on the table.

Klein's habit is to stay sober outside as much as possible. When he is with the crew, he will naturally put himself in the position of the caregiver. As a result, he gets drunk on and off the table, and finally he helps everyone one by one. Go to the door, send them to the power car together, and take them back to your home.

Klein and the crew members "connected emotionally" for a whole week, and Bobby was miserable.

When on board, they have to deal with emergencies at any time. They can't open their mouths to drink and count on a corrupt life during the voyage period.

But Klein's work and rest are quite regular, his diet is restrained, and he is spoiled by people with such healthy living habits. What he drinks in his mouth is not wine, but a liquid bomb that destroys his body.

Bobby went to Nata in private and begged, asking what happened to the captain, did they do something wrong, and wanted to torture them through psychological attacks?

Nata was speechless, what could she do?No one can ask Klein what he doesn't want to say.She had to give Bobby a head-butt and tell him not to talk to Klein.

Bobby didn't say anything, but he wrote his grievances on his face, and Klein couldn't care less about it.

Once you pay attention, you will know how much psychological pressure you have added to the crew, and you will be embarrassed to take up their vacation.

After "connecting" with "emotions" for a week, Klein's life finally returned to the original track.

Before Nata left his house, she stood silently with him in the yard for a long time, and suddenly asked without end: "Are you ready?"

Klein's heart moved and he looked at Nata.Nata's expression remained the same.

After a long silence, at the end, he smiled in relief and said, "Okay."

"That's good." Nata nodded as if she didn't care much, and patted him on the shoulder to appease him, "Come and see us anytime you're in a bad mood." After finishing speaking, Youyou Youzai walked out the door, catching up with the already Companion far away.

Compared with his previous abnormal cycle, the time of thinking in front of Nata just now was very short, that is, in that short time, he figured it out——

He would feel empty and lonely because of Sweet, no, to be precise, Mephidice's departure.

In the past, he had no one to worry about, and no one was waiting for him, so no matter where he went, he could come and go as he pleased.

However, unlike anyone he had dealt with before, Mephides was weak and helpless, depended on him, trusted him, and suddenly appeared in front of him like a homeless cat that couldn't survive alone.

Perhaps at the beginning, he adopted it out of good intentions, and he just fed it casually.

But gradually, it showed a docile and well-behaved side, bared its belly to him, and greeted him at the door when he came home.

He was pleased by this behavior and felt the warmth and tenderness. In order to turn this occasional closeness into a habit, he took care of it slowly and began to pay attention to its feelings.

In the end, when you come home a little late one day, you have to worry about whether it will get sick or leave.

It looked like the cat was depending on him for a living, when in fact he was subconsciously pandering to the cat's preferences in order to satisfy some emotional need.

After Mephides disappeared, the image that Klein thought of most was the night when he came back after being drunk by Heyman.

That day, he heard Nata and the others making noise on the small road, and the lights in the house spilled into the yard through the door. When he walked into the house, he saw that Mephides hair was dyed by the light on the coffee table. It became the color of honey, and hung softly in front of her body.

It was like a dream, a dream that couldn't be more beautiful.

However, Mephides is just a fictional person.

The life of that month and all the ironing posts were also based on fiction.

He can be sad about it, but there should be a time limit.

To wallow in it, to sink so low that it affects the real friends and companions around him who really care about him, is... stupid.
