you turned on the love game

Kuroro lay in the messy pile of books for a while before going out. Not long after, he came back with a plastic bag, threw it on the table, and then roughly dragged the table directly in front of you.

You glance at it and it's all bread.

It has nothing to do with the daily recipes of deep-sea mermaids in your memory.

The person who was in charge of carrying the food didn't think there was any problem at all. He picked up the mermaid science book that was left beside the sofa, sat on the sofa, opened the pages of the book with one hand, and put the other hand on the back of the sofa, knuckles slightly bent , lightly touches the fabric once and for all.

"found it……"

Kuroro smiled inexplicably, raised his arm, and threw the book towards you, regardless of whether you could catch it or not: "Mermaid's recipe... Oh, there is no such thing here."

The old book flew a parabola in the air, and you grabbed it. The paper made a slight tearing sound during this rough passing, and a long crack was torn at the edge.

The hand holding the book paused slightly, you lowered your eyes, gently straightened the crooked pages, and looked down to see the introduction corresponding to the recipe.

[Deep-sea mermaids, like fish, shrimp and seaweed plants, occasionally hunt large fish collectively, have no obvious preference for human food...]

You scratched the introduction with your fingertips, and continued to turn the pages with a calm expression. There was the sound of plastic bag rubbing in the other hand, and then you stuffed the bread sprinkled with chocolate powder into your mouth.

Mermaids have sharp teeth, which are very convenient for chewing on shelled things or hard-to-break plants.Compared with human food, it is too soft and has no special feeling when chewed.

That's why mermaids have no preference for human food.

But it doesn't mean you can't eat it.

While you were eating, Kuroro was sitting on the sofa opposite you, with his hands folded on his knees, his black hair scattered on his forehead, and he looked at you with a smile on his face.

Sunlight came in from the window behind him, casting a gray shadow, and there was only curiosity and exploration of new things in those dark eyes, as if looking at exquisite sculptures, not a life.

[If you fail to eat the food you want, the mermaid will become extremely depressed, and may even endanger your health...]

Your gaze rests on this text for a moment, and you seriously consider whether to pretend to be weak.

But the sweetness of the chocolate bread quickly steals your attention, and you pull out a matcha bread again.

Anyway, it was already different from ordinary mermaids.

No need to fret over the minor issues of this recipe.

Seeing that you didn't show any abnormality after eating the bread that obviously didn't conform to the mermaid's regular recipe, the interest in Kuroro's eyes became stronger, and he couldn't wait to try more things.

"Are you not picky about food... Interesting..."

He got up and walked over, took away the popular science book in your hand, casually flipped back a few pages, the torn page flew back and forth under his movements, and then was thrown aside together with the whole book.

[Mermaids will occasionally come out of the sea to bask in the sun, but they don't like to be in the sun for a long time, and prefer to stay in the deep sea...]

The heavy glass jar was suddenly lifted by Kuroro with one hand.

Today's weather is very good, the yard is full of mild sunshine, the huge glass tank was moved by Kuroro to the middle of the yard, the sun shines through the water surface, sparkling dazzling waves instantly appear on the floating water surface, reflecting the The shadow is also the shape of the rippling water.

You half-closed your eyes, lying lazily on the edge of the glass tank to enjoy the rare sunlight, feeling your whole body gradually warming up.

It's just that mermaids are really not suitable for staying in the sun for a long time.

Half an hour later, your exposed arm will obviously start to dry, and it will feel stagnant to the touch, which is a sign of lack of water.

It just so happened that you were drowsy from the sun, and you simply sank into the water. No matter what expression Ku Luoluo was watching you, you closed your eyes and started to sleep.

The surrounding is very quiet, you can only hear the sound of bubbling bubbles when the oxygen is delivered in, and the swaying water waves gently brush your cheeks, and you suddenly have the illusion of lying in your mother's arms.

I don't know how long it took.

You opened your eyes, and suddenly met a pair of heavy black.

The sun was hidden in the mountain peak, and the remaining light dyed the whole sky red. The handsome and delicate face with a gentle smile looked extremely elegant, but the words he uttered were still full of inquiry.

"Did you actually fall asleep? You don't even hate the sun."

"..." You opened your mouth and spit out a huge bubble of water at him.

Kuroro's eyes widened slightly: "Oh? Do you have something to say?"

He straightened up, and quickly came over with the whiteboard in his hands, looking very interested in what you wanted to say: "What are you going to say?"

You silently took the pen, slowly wrote down a paragraph of text, then flipped the whiteboard, and showed the text to Kurolo:

【Hi, it's dinner time now...】

Kurolo: "..."

He seemed a little surprised, with his palms covering his lips, he asked in confusion, "Does the mermaid eat multiple times according to time?"

You take the whiteboard away and nod.

Bringing you back to the living room, Kuroro picked up the tattered mermaid science book that he had thrown away again.

Probably because he couldn't find the corresponding introduction after flipping through the pages, he closed the book with a snap, and his dark eyes shifted from the pages to you.

After you picked up the fourth loaf, he smiled softly, as if praising you sincerely: "You can really eat."

"..." The bread in his hand suddenly became stale.

After that day, Kuroro tried all the things that mermaids don't like introduced in the book on you, and then observed your reaction, but you were indifferent as if nothing happened.

He collapsed on the sofa.

Turn the popular science book to the last page——

[Mermaids are very vengeful monsters. They will subvert their friendly appearance after being caught, and they will fight back frantically whenever humans approach...]

[And they will transfer their hatred of humans to the entire race, that is, hate everyone.So whether it is the person who caught it or not, it will show hatred...]

Kuroro's gaze was indifferent, and he raised his eyes to meet your gaze, and smiled with an ambiguous smile. The thumb pressed on the page slowly slid up and landed on the last few lines of text.

【However, if you meet a strong person who cannot resist, the mermaid will temporarily hold back your thoughts until weak humans come to it...】

【It will decisively kill the opponent】

You were baffled by Kuroro's eyes, your tail was wagging left and right in boredom, and when you were irritated and wondering how long you would be trapped, the voice of an old lady suddenly came out of the yard.

"Kurolo, I made some cheese, do you want to try it?"

You put your head in your arms, thinking Kuroro would probably refuse.After all, it is not suitable for ordinary people to find out that there is an extra monster in his house. Who knew he would stand up.

"Just a moment, Mrs. Lyant."

Under your puzzled gaze, Kuroro threw the poor science book aside again, got up and walked to the yard.The afternoon sun shone on him, but it couldn't get rid of the chaotic and dark atmosphere in his bones.

He opened the door and greeted the friendly old lady in a gentle tone, looking at her with black eyes and a sincere and pure smile.

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

……

You couldn't hear the conversation outside, only the sound of the door being closed and opened, you didn't pay attention, it could only be Kuroro returning, and he continued to lie in his arms in a daze, unexpectedly, there was an exclamation behind him.

"what!"

When you turn around, the old lady is standing beside Kuroro, holding an exquisite basket in her hand, looking at you in astonishment, the beauty of her youth can still be seen faintly on her face covered with signs of time.

"Krollo, this is..."

"Deep sea mermaid."

The young man closed his eyes slightly, and sighed regretfully: "When I rescued it from the bad guys, it was seriously injured and couldn't stand the bumpy road, so I planned to let it recover and send it back to the sea."

Speaking of this, the pair of obsidian-like beautiful eyes under the sun dimmed slightly: "But it has never been in a good mood, and I have thought of many methods to no avail, so..."

Dark shadows appeared in Kuroro's eyes: "Can you please come closer and have a chat with it, Mrs. Lyont."

You frowned, not understanding what Kuroro was going to do.

Mrs. Lyont immediately agreed: "No problem!"

She put the little basket aside, and walked towards you step by step, with a kind look in her eyes: "Don't be afraid, child, you are safe now... Kurolo, how should I communicate with her?"

"It uses pen and paper."

Kuroro stood behind, watching Mrs. Lyont getting closer to you, with an emotionless smile on her lips: "You just need to get close to it."

The kind old lady met your gaze, her already kind face became softer, and her steps couldn't help but speed up a little.

You raised your head slightly, and carefully scanned the old lady from the beginning to the end, and found that she was indeed just an ordinary person with no power to restrain the chicken. You couldn't figure out what Kuroro's intention was to ask her to come here.

"Hello, boy, my name is Mitty Lyondt."

The old lady stopped by your side, her wrinkled hands were as warm as the sun, she held yours gently, for fear that she would frighten you if she tried too hard: "I made some cheese, do you want to try it?" ..."

……

Kuroro watched this scene quietly, and the warm scene was not reflected in his eyes at all. He turned the mermaid science book to the back cover, and the author's name was clearly written in the corner:

One-star Phantom Beast Hunter, Gilillac;

He has been focusing on studying the various living habits of deep-sea mermaids all year round.

His eyes fixed on the name, and a few seconds later, a very light laugh escaped his throat. After thoroughly memorizing the name, he tore the torn book in half and threw it away.

"I was actually deceived." Kuroro felt amused to himself.

He casually opened another book beside him, with a faint smile on his lips, and slowly flipped through the pages one by one.

At this time, Mrs. Lyant had already talked about her family affairs: "My husband is a relic hunter who has been away all year round. He called me before returning home and said he found a book about the relics of Cubana..."

The old lady smiled sadly: "It's a pity that he didn't come back, he was killed on the way, and the book mentioned is also missing..."

She lowered her head slightly, tears of nostalgia flickered in her eyes, that was the person she loved forever.But the tears were quickly hidden under a gentle smile, and she mentioned the process of getting acquainted with Kuroro.

"At that time, someone wanted to take the opportunity to trouble me. Kuroro just passed by and helped me. I didn't expect to find out that he was the guest who rented this house a few days later. What a happy fate..."

Kuroro's hand flipping through the book suddenly stopped.

Heiyou's pupils widened slightly, and a brief and blurry picture flashed in his mind, and the smile on his lips gradually expanded a little.

He put down his book and walked slowly to the second floor.

Mrs. Lyant is still telling her own story, you just glanced at Kurolo, and listened to the old lady again.

Kuroro came to the resting bedroom, curled the corners of his mouth, looked around the small space, and then stopped in a narrow corner, which was covered with dust because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

"Ah, found it."

He lifted his feet and walked over, and when he passed the window, the shadow stretched out from under his feet, gradually lengthened and shortened in those short seconds, and finally completely melted into the shadow of the corner.

A young man with black hair and black eyes stood in the corner of the room.

There was a pile of looted miscellaneous books.

He pushed some of the books above to the side, and reached out to pick up the bottom book, with a vague innocence on his face.

"I almost forgot, I haven't read this book yet."

The dark brown thick leather cover is inlaid with a few gold edges, and there is a little blood stain on it, which has been darkened and blackened by the erosion of time, and the ancient characters reveal the name of the book.

——"Gubana Ruins"
