"What kind of crazy sche are you up to again?"
"This isn't a random sche, it's about making them show the proper attitude!"
The old rmaid snorted:
"If that Food God actually cos, then tell him I can help fish people out, but only if soone from your Clean-up Bureau personally cos to beg !"
…
"Listen to , from what I know about that old geezer, he's a thousand percent going to use this to ss with you!"
While holding her frostbitten salty fish daughter as they entered the water channel, the beautiful rmaid mother confidently reassured Leon while chipping the ice off her daughter's tail fin:
"Nobody knows him better than I do. That bastard's brain is harder than a coral reef, and his temper is worse than fish dung! Plus, among the Sea Race tribes, he's the most hostile towards you humans, no doubt about it!"
"…"
"Before Wendy ca back last ti, he and two other Flowing Vortex Ancestors had dredged up the ice layer of the seabed and then went missing for days—either tending to injuries or sticking caught for a few days.
I bet he suffered a lot down there and then sealed the intel, tricking your Clean-up Bureau's two directors, causing them to get trapped under the ice layer too."
"…"
"However, since that bastard managed to escape, it proves he has a way to slip out from under the ice. But with his attitude towards you humans and the Clean-up Bureau, getting him to help fish people out is virtually impossible. Even if mother could persuade him, that old geezer surely would demand so extrely harsh conditions.
Mister Leon, if you believe , once you et him, just don't say anything. Leave the communication to , and I promise it'll take less than five minutes to have him eagerly follow you to save people."
"Tha... thank you?"
Leon, struggling with his composure after hearing the rmaid mother's analysis, couldn't resist asking further under the salty fish daughter's "You better not trust her" expression:
"Mrs. Evangelin, could you please reveal in advance how you plan to convince that Flowing Vortex Ancestor?"
"Simple! Just say Wendy's pregnant with your child!"
"…"
I knew it!
Under Leon's gaze of one-third speechlessness and seven-thirds resignation, the rmaid mother enthusiastically stated:
"Once inside, if it's only mother, then fine, she won't buy it. But if it's only that old bastard, then just watch perform!
Then you act like the lead in 'Young Widow's Revenge,' saying you still deeply love Wendy but cannot accept her sinister grandfather, nor can you bear the strange looks from others.
If he insists on watching them die without saving, you who can't escape mundane judgnts, can only like the lead in the Revenge, painfully abandon Wendy and the child, and choose to partner with , more beautiful, to spend the rest of your life together..."
"???"
Not... couldn't accept her sinister grandfather but could accept being unfaithful himself?
Moreover, inability to bear strange looks, abandoning the salty fish daughter, then choosing to spend life with her mom? Wouldn't that garner even stranger looks? Where the hell are these chaotic dramas you watch coming from!
ntally marking a note, deciding to establish a review departnt as soon as returning to the real world, thoroughly inspecting the Kingdom of Saio's outrageous dramas, Leon decisively shook his head to refuse the rmaid mother's suggestion, then couldn't resist ridiculing:
"Mrs. Evangelin, I think with that suggestion, your goal isn't really to get him to fish out people for , but more to provoke that Flowing Vortex Ancestor into a brain thrombosis..."
"Brain thrombosis?"
The rmaid mother wondered:
"What's that?"
"Uh... brain thrombosis is a kind of elderly disease, prone to danger due to emotional overload and rapid bloodflow... But don't entertain this thought! With the Flowing Vortex Ancestor's health, it's impossible to get such a disease! What I just said was only a taphor!"
"Tsk..."
After hearing Leon's clarification, the rmaid mother couldn't help but click her tongue, visibly disappointed, yet still holding onto a last hope inquiring:
"Is there really no chance? Not even a little?"
"None!"
Over the past couple of days of continuous bombardnt, Leon had beco sowhat accustod to the rmaid mother's "fatherly love and filial piety" trait, yet seeing her so hopeful for the Flowing Vortex Ancestor's quick demise, he couldn't resist casting a glance with so sympathy toward the salty fish daughter's direction.
The salty fish daughter, utterly humiliated by her mother's off-beat antics, had already given up resisting entirely, and had sort of changed her species from rmaid to ostrich, burying her pretty face deeply into the rmaid mother's bosom, pretending she just heard nothing.
In a sense, being stuck in such a native family, seems you're quite unfortunate indeed...
Watching the salty fish daughter's neck flushing red with embarrassnt, Leon couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, quickly shifting the subject:
"I'll handle it myself, avoiding troubling you with matters of negotiating with that Flowing Vortex Ancestor... Mrs. Evangelin, might I inquire why your father is so hostile towards humans? Is it due to past wars between the Sea Race and the Clean-up Bureau?"
"Sort of..."
Hearing Leon bring this up, the rmaid mother montarily froze, then lightly pursed her lips and softly replied:
"Actually, that old bastard didn't just have , he had a brother and sister before , I'm rely his third child, yet because of wars with you humans, your Clean-up Bureau took both of his children from him.
And I naturally didn't get along with that old bastard, but my brother and sister were different, both of them got along well with the old bastard... Hmm... or mostly because that old bastard was once decent, wasn't as rigid and annoying as now, wouldn't yell at people indiscriminately, only, alas..."
Speaking here, the rmaid mother slightly clenched her fist, looking sowhat gloomy said:
"Alas, after my sister matured, not long afterwards, the most intense conflict post-war broke out between the Clean-up Bureau and the Earth Clan, dragging our Sea Race tribes into it as well, and then my brother and sister..."
I see...
Watching the rmaid mother's sowhat lancholic expression, Leon couldn't help but fall silent.
No wonder that Flowing Vortex Ancestor is so hostile towards humans, turns out two of the three children died in wars with the Clean-up Bureau, thinking this way, it seems understandable...
"Ended up getting together with you humans."
"Huh???"
In Leon's bewildered eyes, the rmaid mother sighed and lanted:
"First problem arose with my sister, her personality was akin to Wendy's, soft-hearted, hated seeing fellow sufferers.
When the Earth Clan tried detonating all volcanoes, many underwater volcanoes were affected, Moon-shielding Sea's several Sea Races couldn't evacuate in ti, my sister went to help but got severely injured and passed out, saved by your Clean-up Bureau's then Cancer Director, and during recovery..."
"They fell for each other?"
"No, it was a drunken mishap."
The rmaid mother shook her head, then lifted a finger waving, emphasizing:
"Also it worked in one go."
"…"
Damn! Why did I even engage in this topic!
In Leon's extrely strained expression, the rmaid mother sighed:
"My sister's constitution was like Wendy's, just a bit of alcohol would flush her face, then indeed she had a slight liking for her rescuer... Anyway, when that old bastard was fiercely combating your Clean-up Bureau, returning ho enraged, my sister's belly conveniently bulged."
"After that..."
"After that, your Clean-up Bureau ca to snatch people."
The rmaid mother shrugged:
"That old bastard locked my sister up, planning to release her only upon the Cancer Director's death, only for your Clean-up Bureau to outright storm in, gave the old bastard a ruthless beating, forcibly dragging away my sister, also took my brother."
"Your brother? What happened here?"
"Sa, drunken mishap, fought then drank heavily, and the woman was your Clean-up Bureau's then Scorpio Director, also about protruding then."
"Huh???"
"What's wrong?"
The rmaid mother inquired puzzled:
"He's Wendy's uncle, she's Wendy's aunt, similar constitution seems strange?"
"…"
"Makes sense! Damn reasonable!"
"Ultimately, because two children were taken by Clean-up Bureau, considered traitors by Earth and Feather Clans, that old bastard began changing, becoming increasingly hostile towards you humans, especially when my brother and sister occasionally visited with their children, he'd explode every ti..."
Sighing here, the rmaid mother couldn't help but sigh, summarizing with lancholy:
"All to bla on war!"
"…"
Bla it my ass on war! Your family's situation has shit to do with war!
