Fairy empire

03. The third mermaid

Came to this luxurious villa to find an employer whose cooperative relationship with him has long been a thing of the past. He is not a reliable guy, but it cannot be denied that he always pays 12 points of enthusiasm for his work.

Of course, whether the source of these passions is the love of work or the strange species of human beings, I believe that those of you who are reading this and know something about this scum must know it in your heart.

In the eyes of others, Orihara Rin has never been a good person.But in all fairness, he is not a vicious bad guy. The starting point of everything he does is the observation of human beings full of love and malice derived from distorted psychology.From his point of view, no one can blame him.

He is willing to see every aspect of human beings, kind, dark, happy, broken... As long as it comes from human emotions, this information dealer is willing to accept them all with a smiling expression.

Orihara Rinya's favorite thing to do is to stand at the highest point of the city, looking down at the passing humans, speculating on their inner thoughts, guessing what unexpected things they will do next—— It is because human beings will not be like chess pieces on a chessboard, go forward as you want, full of countless possibilities, that makes Orihara Rin also have a deeper love for human beings as time goes by.

In a way, Orihara Rin is indeed an existence that can be called a god.Maybe he didn't realize it himself, maybe as an atheist, he noticed it but deliberately ignored or refused to admit it.Whether it's because of his dissatisfaction with the hot pot incident, or the behavior of using two clients to talk to himself, it is enough to show that, in fact, deep down, Orihara Rin still regards himself as a human being.

Human beings live in groups, and once they leave this social group, they will self-hate and self-denial, and finally fall into an endless loop of loneliness and fear.Even Orihara Rin refuses to admit that he also has such emotions, but it cannot be denied that he is an absolute guy who loves to live in groups.In his opinion, the boring world away from human beings would drive people crazy.

But in Ikebukuro a few years ago, there was a strange guy who stayed here and turned Ikebukuro upside down.Well, that's right, it's that Celty who was called the headless horseman—oh, the wording seems inaccurate, maybe this headless goblin is still staying in Ikebukuro now, because his dear childhood sweetheart Mr. Staying here, even though it has been many years since they lost contact, Orihara Rin never had the idea of ​​contacting them to reminisce about the old days.

Everyone has their own life trajectory, away from and bid farewell to all their past karma, Orihara Rin also lives in a place where human beings gather, and still leads a very happy and contented life.There is no desire to destroy their peaceful life at the beginning, and Orihara Rin also does not want the present self to be tainted with the shadow of the past.

Although step-by-step is boring, a life that doesn't follow the track can also make people collapse☆.

The silver ring at the root of the index finger has always been worn on his hand, and like the clothes on Orihara Rinya, the smile on the corner of his mouth, and the scarlet eyes, they have long become the iconic items of this person.Over the years, he is also like a goblin, it seems that he has not changed at all, probably because he is living comfortably.

Orihara Lin is also the best at what to do. In addition to collecting information, he also has to make a series of plans and set up a trick to let others walk into his own established route step by step, watching them suffer or struggle or shout "I'm going to kill Orihara Rinya, that bastard", and after satisfying his desire, he completely retreated from it without a trace of nostalgia.

After a scene is over, there is no need for the audience to stay where they are, because it doesn't make any sense at all.

But this time, Orihara Lin also came to visit Tanaka, not only to exchange the news in his hand with Tanaka again, but also to find out the real forces behind the pet shop from Tanaka. secret.Although this is probably beyond the scope of the "human world", for some reason, Orihara Rin, who has not been so excited for a long time, is also extremely curious about it.

——In any case, the behavior of the pet shop is clearly competing with Orihara Rinya for the ownership of human beings. How could Orihara Rinya allow such an existence?

Human beings... are the property of my Orihara Rinya☆~

Complicated psychology like a monstrous wave was churning in his mind, but Orihara Rin, who is known for his clever mind and is extremely good at controlling his facial expressions, also maintained a calm face of a businessman, and began to spit out words that were unbelievable to Tanaka. Confidential information: "Hey, after Mr. Yamamoto bought the tiger from the pet store, you must be more aware of the popularity and benefits you get than I am sitting in front of me~? But at this moment, he has no chance Take that, because he's just a pair of cells lying in a coffin."

Really, life really is a wonderful thing.Obviously, when he was still alive, that body could do so many unimaginable things driven by his soul and thoughts; he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the lost soul would immediately turn into a pile of corpses lying in a coffin The only use for dead meat is to be burned to ashes and thrown into dark graves, or to become food for white maggots.

It is really an association that makes people not happy at all.

After all, Tanaka is a person who has been standing in the mall for a long time. After seeing the big world, he quickly calmed down and frowned: "The reason is..."

"Ah, as you imagined, the cause of death was the docile tiger bought from the pet store." Orihara Lin also said with a smile.

Tanaka fell silent.

It’s not like Tanaka has never seen how docile the tiger in Yamamoto’s hands is—after hearing that he had an extra tiger as a pet, Tanaka went to visit Yamamoto’s house with a look of disdain.But whether it is in terms of size or personality, that tiger can't find any faults. It is more appropriate to say that it is a big cat than a tiger, even if there are guests riding on its back. any problem.

This is one of the reasons why Tanaka is so jealous.

However, after Tanaka fulfilled his wish and successfully bought a mermaid from a pet store as a pet, Orihara Lin also threw such a heavy news at him, which made Tanaka feel a little dazed—it felt like He was suddenly slapped by someone he didn't know while walking on the road, and he couldn't recover at all, or someone dropped a bomb in his ear, which made his ears buzzing, and he completely lost his mind. ability to think.

"Mr. Yamamoto's neck was bitten off alive. But after the investigation, he couldn't find any traces of tigers in his house. If the witnesses didn't agree with what they said, my dear policeman would not believe it at all~" Orihara Lin also squinted his eyes, and said in a pleasant tone, "Of course, this is not the beginning, nor will it be the end as I expected."

Maybe Orihara Rinya's expression was too weird and mysterious, or maybe the sentence he uttered seemed to be hiding some deeper secret. In short, when Tanaka heard his words, he couldn't turn his head around and went straight. Following his words, the tone was urgent and hasty: "What does this mean?"

"Mr. Tanaka must not know the story behind this pet shop, right?" Orihara Lin also stretched comfortably, but the words he said did not make people relax at all, "This pet shop from New York , but there is an incalculable crime behind it?"

Immediately afterwards, in Tanaka's astonished expression, Orihara Lin also threw the real cases that he could investigate, bluntly and slightly embellished, in front of Tanaka, as if throwing a ball of fresh blood with a strong smell of blood. Internal organs:

"Once upon a time, a pet store sold a rabbit to a couple who looked exactly like their dead daughter. After the couple violated their agreement with the pet store, the father died and the mother was injured."

"The next time, a man bought a mermaid that looked exactly like his dead fiancée from a pet store, and within a few days he was found dead in a pool containing the merman, and the merman ate him."

"And...and..."

Orihara Rinya's brain capacity is unquestionable, it should be said that the human brain capacity is unquestionable - as long as it is something that one wants to remember, human beings can go beyond their own imagination and give the most perfect result.But who can tell this kind of incident that sounds like a horror story in Tanaka into a beautiful fairy tale with his own voice, there is probably no other person in this world except Orihara Rin.

Tanaka's back was covered in dense cold sweat, while Orihara Rin became more and more excited as he spoke, until he could not wait to use his body movements to express his uncontrollable inner emotions.

"And now, it's Mr. Yamamoto's turn, so does it mean that next..."

Orihara Lin didn't say any more, but the meaning in his words was already self-evident.

Tanaka was already too soft to support himself sitting on the sofa. He kept wiping the sweat off his forehead, lowered his head not to look at the expression of Orihara Rinya, and murmured as if falling into his own realm: "No No no, how could it be, it's impossible, Florence is such a beautiful creature..."

Florence?Orihara Lin also turned his head for the second time and glanced at the "rare and beautiful mermaid" that Tanaka said.And the mermaid lady seemed to be in a bad mood, instead of maintaining an elegant smile as usual when the guests came, she stared at Orihara Rinya with her eyes expressionless, as if for Orihara Rinya. She also said something she shouldn't have said and felt annoyed, because Orihara Lin could also see the bone-piercing chill in her eyes, cutting every cell in her body like a cold knife.

With just one glance, Orihara Lin felt a very uncomfortable feeling slowly rising from the soles of his feet. It felt like two snakes, countless snakes crawled up his calf, and finally wound up slowly. fragile neck.

"No! Nothing will happen! So far, Florence has brought me wealth and power. She is a symbol of good fortune, and she will definitely not be the monster you mentioned!" Hitomi Tanaka waved his hands tremblingly. After saying these words, his emotions seemed very excited, and even his chest heaved violently, "Only, as long as I don't violate the regulations, nothing will happen to me! Those unlucky ghosts who have accidents must have violated the regulations! I will never Do such a stupid thing!"

"Really...?" Orihara Lin also looked away, chuckled and prolonged his voice, and read in a low voice, "But sometimes, human beings can be fragile creatures that cannot overcome their inner desires?"

Florence, who was dormant and resting in the glass fish tank, suddenly crushed the rockery stones that had rolled down by her hand.

The corner of the mouth raised a gorgeous and weird smile that no one had noticed.

****

What Orihara Linya said at the door was undoubtedly a warning, be careful sailing for ten thousand years. Although Tanaka didn't really believe it in his heart, he was still so frightened that he didn't sleep well for a few days, and he didn't have the chance to feed Floren himself. Even when he saw the beautiful Florence, he no longer had the same deep sense of obsession as before.

But Florence didn't know anything, and still lived her own life: eating meat, sleeping, showing her graceful dance when guests came, nothing different.

After another month of such a peaceful life, Tanaka, who was in a state of anxiety all day long because of Orihara Rinya's words, was finally relieved. After observing these days, Tanaka was almost sure that Florence was a harmless woman. Creatures will never do the things that Orihara Rinya said - such confidence comes from his feelings and his arrogant psychology.

On a very busy day, Tanaka stayed in his company all day and had no time to go home.And Florence's lunch is still in charge of the hired servants.When they put the meat into the huge fish tank, Florence suddenly jumped out of the water, and that beautiful face stayed in front of the servant holding the pork, looking at him quietly.

His heart trembled violently, and he could hardly hold the pork that was supposed to be lunch.

In all fairness, he had never seen such a beautiful woman when he grew up so big. Even though he knew that the woman in front of him was a mermaid rather than a human, he was still surprised and ashamed of her beauty.Every time he stood outside the fish tank and looked up at her, he always felt that what he was looking at was not a mermaid, but the white moonlight buried in his heart when he was young.Something is churning in my heart, and commands that don't belong to my brain, such as "hug her and touch her", will always sound in my ears.

Although it was undeniable that in his heart, he really wanted to do this.

"Come here after feeding, let's go first." The servant at the bottom of the ladder raised his head impatiently and shouted, then cleaned up the washbasin on the ground and went out.

He responded in confusion—his co-workers are probably used to seeing the mermaid in a daze every time, instead of waiting for him to finish work as in the past, they chose to leave the room early Good to go back and rest.This gave him a chance to be alone with the mermaid, and in fact, his heart was filled with joy.

In the past few days, he had carefully climbed down and whispered to Florence against the glass window, pouring out his love for her, regardless of whether she could understand or not.But this time, it was a rare opportunity for him to get in close contact with this mermaid girl, how could he be willing to give up—so he opened his arms and said in a trembling voice, "Please, can I hug you?"

He knew that Florence was human, that although she couldn't speak, she could understand every sentence they said and give her own response.

Florence tilted her head and looked at him for a while. The short few seconds seemed to have passed through centuries in his uneasy mood. Finally, with her slight nod and the excitement of flicking her tail, With such an action, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.He whimpered, and hugged the mermaid who was haunting him, as if he was embracing a lover he had been chasing for many years.

He let out a long sigh, but the cold touch made him even more reluctant to let go.

Florence put her face next to his neck, rubbing it carefully, as if kissing her lover, the gentle and pious touch made him moan involuntarily.With her hands tightly clinging to his back, Florence stroked the curve of his back with half-closed eyes, and suddenly opened her eyes, a blood-red glow of excitement flashed past.

,

Immediately afterwards, Florence's hands suddenly turned into sharp knives capable of tearing everything apart, thrusting into his back, ignoring his struggle and screaming, and vigorously dragging him into his own fish tank.The smell of human blood spread out in the water as his body submerged, stimulating Florence's already keen sense of smell.

A never-before-seen intoxicating smile appeared on her face, obviously all appetite was taken away by the food she had never eaten before.

Licking her lips, Florence opened her rosy lips and bit down on his shoulder.

The violent struggle caused bursts of bubbles to rise up in the huge fish tank that could not see the figure inside. It was only three or four minutes long, and the bubbles like waves gradually stopped their production and production as they gradually calmed down. dance.Looking back at this moment, there was nothing in the fish tank except Florence, who was stroking her protruding belly and sinking at the bottom of the fish tank.

The person who was feeding seemed to be just a shadow dissipated in the air.

Florence burped and turned over contentedly in the fish tank, covering her ugly belly.

The sun outside the window was still so bright that it made people feel frightened.
