The Siren's Sleeping Beauty [Comprehensive British and American]

Long Island, New York.

"Jarvis—!"

Howard, who had to stay at home because of his son's birthday, put his waist down, sipped his whiskey, and stood in front of his bookshelf with a puzzled expression.

He didn't hear an echo, so he raised his voice and shouted outside: "Jarvis, where is the book I just bought?"

Maria, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard the movement, and moved to the side to watch her son who was cooking: "Honey, put the plate on the table."

Tony hummed, raised his arms, and held the dinner plate with fried eggs and ham sausages in smiling faces.

After walking a few steps outside, he turned around, raised his head halfway, his voice was childish but more of a strange sense of clarity.

"Mom, the book that was next to my bed when Jarvis left this morning was not a gift from my father."

State facts, not ask questions.

"...What else can it be if it's not a gift?" Maria stroked his soft hair, "Those are fairy tales and stories about myths and customs."

Tony looked serious: "Daddy never buys me fairy tale books."

"As it turns out, he still will, doesn't he?"

Tony took a deep breath, curled his lips, and seemed to give up arguing with his mother: "Okay."

Maria coaxed her son away, took off her lavender apron, rubbed it in her hand, and blinked her eyes quickly.

She's starting to think back to her husband's recent bedtime reading, and it doesn't feel very good.

"Jarvis!" Howard was still shouting from the study.

Maria walked out of the kitchen and smiled at Tony who was sitting by the dining table and tugging at the hem of his overalls: "Tony, you can eat first."

Tony straightened up, grabbed the fork and began to fork the egg.

Maria had always thought her son's caramel eyes were beautiful, but sometimes, especially when Howard was being stupid, she couldn't look Tony in the eye.

"Howard, do you remember that Jarvis is on vacation today?" Maria entered the study and closed the door behind her. "Or, do you remember why he was on vacation?"

With a piece of ham sausage wrapped in his mouth, Tony got off the stool, tiptoed to the study, and put his ear on it.

Because today is Tony's birthday.

Yes, birthday.

"...Why is Jarvis on vacation? I thought he would be by our side all his life." Howard snorted, coughed lightly, took a sip of his wine, and interrupted.

Maria twitched her mouth: "You know that Jarvis deserves his own life, right?"

"...Of course he is worth it, he is my good partner." Howard couldn't look directly at his wife's mysterious gaze, and with a drink, he walked around her to the other side of the bookshelf.

Maria leaned forward and took the glass away from him: "Today, no."

"Today we are going to accompany Tony, and you have to take him to the children's restaurant tonight. He also deserves the company of his parents, birthday song and cake." Maria put on a straight face.

Howard smacked his lips and looked at his glass reluctantly.

But when he saw his wife's expression, his desire to survive quickly went online, and he stretched out his arms and put his arms around Maria: "I've been at home all this time, haven't I been with him every day?"

"That's because the expedition ship under your name had an accident! You were hospitalized!" Maria narrowed her eyes and poked her husband's shoulder with her fingers.

"What a wonderful coincidence!" Howard stretched his arms and raised his eyebrows at Maria.

Maria was angry and funny, pulled his collar closer, and kissed his beard, Howard smiled smugly.

"For God's sake, today, your world will only consist of Tony and me."

Howard bowed his head and kissed her lips: "Of course, my boss."

"...Let me find my book first." After coaxing his wife, Howard continued to flip through the book.

Maria looked back at the door, and there was a moving shadow under the crack of the door.She walked to the door, her heels clicking.

The little shadow at the door left quickly, and Maria smiled.

Howard was crouching under a bookshelf rummaging.

"Jarvis thought the book you arrived yesterday was a gift for Tony. He has packed it very beautifully for you, and prepared the card before leaving." Maria put her arms on the table, smiling half-smile.

Howard's back froze.

right!Gift!

He felt like he forgot something!

He stood up slowly: "This... just happens to be what I want him to do!"

Maria raised her eyebrows, Howard cleared his cough, tugged at his vest, and put his arms around Maria's waist: "Ma'am, let's enjoy a special meal now—"

Maria Quan pretended not to see his embarrassment, and walked out following his movements.

"Happy birthday, baby." Maria went to the table and kissed Tony on the forehead.

In order to prove that he didn't eavesdrop, Tony put a big mouthful of fried egg in his mouth, making the plate look much empty.

Maria glanced at Howard.

Howard...

"...Happy birthday." Frowning, Howard could only choke out one sentence.

"Thank you." Tony finally finished chewing the fried egg in his mouth and glanced at him.

Howard took a glass of water and took a sip to hide his stiffness.

Tony took the last bite and put down his fork.

He put his hands on the edge of the chair, watching Maria and Howard eating, and the legs under the table swayed slightly back and forth.

Howard scratched his nose, his face serious.

The atmosphere at the dining table was slightly stagnant, and Maria lowered her head to eat her own breakfast, completely ignoring the man around her who was sending out distress signals all the time.

"Tony, what gift do you want?" Howard finally found a topic.

Maria's mouth twitched.

"...I mean other than books." Howard added a little vainly.

"No, the book is already good. It has lots of illustrations of mermaids," Tony shrugged, his caramel eyes twinkling, "without clothes."

"Cough—" Maria choked violently.

Howard...yes...it's for grown-ups after all.

"But don't worry, they're all ugly." Tony pursed his lips and smiled, picked up his water glass with the Star Shield printed on it, rubbed off the chair, ran to the sofa, and turned on the TV.

Maria put down the dishes.

Howard took a sip of water, facing the miraculous gaze from his wife, curled the corners of his mouth, and shrugged his shoulders, his movements were exactly the same as Tony's, including the sly look in his eyes.

"You can't blame him, he's a Stark."

Maria looked at him in disbelief, lowered her voice and said every word: "He is a six-year-old boy!"

"With brilliant mind and good taste—" Howard also whispered, and he forked up the fried egg and made a toast to Maria, and put it in his mouth.

Maria narrowed her eyes.

"At least he has seen through things that neither you nor Jarvis have seen through." Howard, who was proud of his son, had obviously lowered his desire to survive.

Maria got up and took away all the plates on the dining table, and turned coldly: "You, wash the dishes."

Howard, who hasn't finished eating yet...

Howard, who washed the dishes and washed the pieces, wiped his hands: "I should make a dishwashing thing."

Maria was watching TV with her arms around Tony, and she glanced at him upon hearing this.

"...For you, and Jarvis." Howard laughed immediately, and sat down on the single sofa on the other side of the coffee table.

"Again——! Captain America has saved the world!"②

The cartoon on TV came to an end, Tony buried himself in his mother's arms, turned to look at his father who was fascinated by watching TV: "Dad."

"Ok?"

"Have you found the captain?"

"...Not yet." Howard leaned back on the sofa.

"Is he real?" Tony frowned.

Howard took a sip of the contents of the glass, regretfully realized that it was not whiskey, and put it on the coffee table: "Yes, he is real, and he did save the world."

"So, are you still looking for it?"

"Of course." Howard folded his legs, his hands towering over his knees.

"What about the mermaid?" Tony tilted his head and asked, "It's a fairy tale, isn't it?"

"Tony," Howard turned to look at him, "There is nothing in this world that technology can't solve. If there is, it means we haven't found the right technology yet."

Tony blinked, thoughtfully.

Maria bowed her head and kissed her son: "Don't listen to that old bastard, you will do better than your father in the future."

Tony took a deep breath and let it out, continuing to watch TV in Maria's arms.

Howard and Maria looked at each other in the air, one faint and one persistent.

·

The channel is narrow, the bottom is shallow, and there are many people on the long island, which smells bad.

Angus moved to the bottom of the water again, looked up at the surface of the water, where is he now! ?

Why are there some weird places!

The tail... curled up silently.

Definitely not its fault!Absolutely not!

The back shoulder has fully healed, but the foreign body is still there, painful and uncomfortable.

restless.uncomfortable.

Going deeper into the water, Angus wanted to rest, but he didn't know where to go.He wanted to swim far away, but there were no suitable places to stay because there were human settlements nearby.

He needs to go farther, but he may not swim there because he will be tired and sleepy, and it will be more fun to hit the boat again.

Angus felt that he was going to be out of breath. He had never had such intensive contact with humans like today.In other words, no siren has ever encountered such a thing.

Is the number of human beings increasing?

Putting his hand on his heart, Angus frowned, and after swimming around, he found a place with relatively good water quality, and it was relatively quiet.

Staying on the bottom of the sea that was not deep enough for him, Angus curled up in a ball, half asleep and half awake enduring the discomfort.

This kind of rest is not good, it will make him more irritable, but there is nothing to do.

Angus is not the only one who is also at a loss.

Steve wears a hat, a full beard, glasses and a gray coat.With his hands in his pockets, he stood on the edge of the street, staring at the opposite transparent window in a daze.

The author has something to say: ...with a clever mind and an excellent aesthetic——

②Once again!Captain America saved the world!

--------

I read the comments and thought that Angus would continue to be awesome, but regarding Angus's combat power, I have a set of strengths and weaknesses.

He is the overlord in the sea, on land...hemmmm

His bound weapons are currently nails, teeth, voice, fishtail.

Nail extension is poisonous, teeth can become very sharp, and the bite force is terrible [I set it according to the bite force of a shark.

In addition, the sound propagation effect is the strongest by means of sea water, which is not so strong on land, and there is a risk of tearing in dry air.

And the fishtail thief is the most powerful, his speed, defense and great strength in the sea all come from the fishtail.So on land, he couldn't keep his balance. There was no water to support his upper body, and the fish tail was even a bit cumbersome.

They can only be used as heavy weapons and shields that are not very useful, and other weapons are close attacks and need to be very close, so the only thing that is powerful is the sound.

So it will be weakened by most of it all at once.

But I'm a real mother, so I have the same equipment~

it will be fine~
