《Last Wish System 》Chapter 323: Mercer's Good Idea
Advertisement
After entering into the Storage Space, Yale appeared on the ship, and the other two appeared at his side.
The merman and the mermaid were shocked seeing that all the surroundings changes in an instant, they didn’t even know how Yale did that.
“This is my ship; I have it stored here while I am diving. I will make a small pool for both of you; I doubt that it is comfortable for both of you be outside the water.”
Yale said that while looking at the fish-like tails of the siblings.
“Thank you, but you only need to make one for my sister.”
After the merman said that his body changed, the upper part of his body got covered by dark-blue scales, which was the same color or his tail, and his tail turned into two legs that were also covered by scales. The scales were so packed that seemed more like skin, but Yale didn’t doubt that the defense of that scales wasn’t inferior to an armor.
That was the merman’s battle form, it was far more muscular than his previous form, and looking to that battle form no one would think that he was a merman.
“Oh, so that is the original form of the Sea Race.”
Yale felt that the battle form was far better than the merman’s form because the merman’s form didn’t look strong at all. That wasn’t strange since mermen and mermaids didn’t focus too much on melee battle and excelled more at long distance attacks and illusions, but the Sea Race was just the opposite.
“Yes, but if I get too damaged, I will turn back to my normal form.”
A true member of the Sea Race wouldn’t have that problem as that battle form would be the real one, but for someone who wasn’t a pure member of the Sea Race, the battle form was far more limited.
“Yale, who are these people?”
Swordmad was the first one to appear in the deck after noticing Yale’s presence.
“I meet them while diving, their names are… I don’t know. I forgot to ask that.”
At that moment Yale noticed that he didn’t know the names of those two siblings.
“My name is Kaigur, and this is my sister, Merumi.”
Swordmad seemed to have difficulties to believe that they were siblings since Kaigur was in his battle form.
Before Yale had time to explain the whole story to Swordmad the others reached the deck.
“Everyone, before all of you start to ask, let me explain it.”
Yale had the premonition that he would save a lot of time if he started to explain directly instead of waiting for the questions.

After creating a small pool for Merumi, Yale started to explain the situation of the two siblings in the Mermaid Race’s tribe and how he had met them.
“That matriarch deserves to die.”
Sebe was the one who had the greatest anger after hearing the story because he remembered how that kind of discrimination also happened with half-beasts in the Anpaes Kingdom, especially he knew how Shirk was discriminated despite being one of the most loyal guards for the kingdom.
Of course, Sebe punished everyone who dared to say something like that openly, but he couldn’t do anything with how those people thought. Fortunately, since Sebe became the crown prince, the discriminations lowered compared to before, but he still got angry when he heard about people discriminating others just due to a bloodline.
“I agree with Sebe. I don’t know if we will be able to kill her, but we need to show her that she isn’t invincible. Moreover, we need to recover the heirloom of the Sea Race; their rightful owners are Kaigur and Merumi.”
Yale said those words, and everyone nodded to his words.
The siblings were shocked seeing that everyone agreed to Yale’s plan to help them; they always thought that most humans would discriminate against them even if there were exceptions like Yale.
Of course, their thoughts weren’t wrong, most humans of the continent would think like that, but no one in Yale’s group had that kind of mindset.
“Kaigur, come with us, we need to debate the strategy for recovering the World Sea Pearl.”
Almost everyone left with Yale, but some of them remained behind with Merumi who couldn’t leave the small pool since he was unable to change forms.
Moreover, Yale thought that since she liked to learn about the continent, it was better for her to remain behind speaking with the others than going with Kaigur to plan their future actions.
“So, you are a real mermaid. Your tail is too pretty.”
Aizu was one of the people who remained behind since she was too weak and he affinity to fire was useless on the plan.
“This is a super rare color for the tail; it shows that I am a true genius of the Mermaid Race.”
She said that with pride and it wasn’t without reason. Merumi’s tail was pink which was quite eye-catching and was something strange in the Mermaid Race. In fact, that tail was the reason the matriarch couldn’t act against her without making it seem an accident outside the village.
Nothing angered more the matriarch than the fact that someone who wasn’t a pure mermaid had that color on the tail because a lot of mermen and mermaid wanted Merumi to be the next matriarch after growing-up.

After all, there was something that always happened in their past, any mermaid with that tail color ended becoming a matriarch who brought prosperity to the Mermaid Race.
“You are a real mermaid, right? Can you use your voice to mesmerize people? I read in books that mermaids could do that.”
Mercer was also one of those who remained behind, and he was extremely interested in mermaids since he had read a lot about them in books.
“Of course, I can do that. It doesn’t work with Yale, but I am confident that no one else would be able to resist the power of my voice.”
Merumi was quite confident in her skills as a mermaid; she was too slow in awakening her Sea Race Bloodline compared with her brother, but regarding abilities of mermaids, she was the best.
“Master is always an exception.”
Mercer didn’t feel strange that Yale wasn’t affected because he already considered that Yale was unfathomable, and his true abilities couldn’t be measured.
“Is he your master? Aren’t you a bit too weak for being his disciple?”
Merumi didn’t expect that the young boy in front of her was the disciple of Yale because he was only at the peak of the Mortal Rank.
“Of course, that he is my master. It is just that humans can’t start to train before being ten and I am eleven! Moreover, I am holding back advancing in rank to avoid looking like a kid for too long.”
Merumi didn’t know that detail about humans because Yale forgot to explain it. Thinking about Mercer’s words, Merumi understood that Mercer couldn’t be considered weak for his age.
“So, we have the same age; I thought that you were a bit older. Well, after hearing you, it is more understandable. It is a bit weird that humans can’t train before ten, but I understand the point of growing up. For mermaids, that problem doesn’t apply as we can grow up until maturity normally disregarding our rank.”
The natural lifespan of mermaids was longer than that of the humans, but their growth was at the same pace, and the same applied even if they ranked up, so they didn’t need to worry about the looks. Fortunately, Lar had gone with Yale or else she would be far too jealous.
“I don’t understand the reasons either, but this is how it works… Returning to the topic about your voice, can you mesmerize me? I read a lot about that, and I always wanted to experience it.”
Mercer didn’t fear being mesmerized since he knew that his master’s dimension was the safest place for him and that there was no way that he would be harmed. Thus, he wanted to use the chance to experience it, and that matched with Merumi’s intentions.
“Perfect! I always dreamed about mesmerizing a human like in the books I read!”
Merumi was excited and started to use her voice to control Mercer to make him act like a fool under the gazes of the other in the deck who were laughing at Mercer’s actions under Merumi’s orders.
Of course, if Mercer hadn’t offered himself to be mesmerized, Merumi wouldn’t have dared to do it, since she didn’t want to anger Yale, but since it was Mercer who wanted it, she did it without restraints.
After a while, she stopped, and Mercer recovered his senses.
“That was amazing; I was unable to think clearly and couldn’t avoid doing what you ordered. I have been mesmerized by a pretty mermaid; I am sure that no one in my clan had that kind of experience.”
Mercer was quite happy and spoke without thinking which made that Merumi’s face turned a bit red due to the sudden praise.
“Do you want to see the ship? It is huge, and there are a lot of places to visit.”
Mercer liked a lot exploring the ship, but he always did it alone since no one else had such interest, so he was hoping that Merumi would come with him since both had the same age.
“I am sorry. This is the first time I see something like a ship, and I am curious about it, but I don’t have legs, so I can’t leave this small pool.”
She was free to move in the water, but since she still didn’t awake her Sea Race Bloodline, she could only move in the water.
“That is quite sad… I have a good idea.”
Mercer neared the pool and helped Merumi to get out before carrying her in his arms.
“You are too light; this will be easy. Now, you can explore with me, and you don’t need to remain in that small pool.”
Merumi was shocked by Mercer’s actions and didn’t react until she was already on Mercer’s arms. Given her strength, she could free herself from Mercer, but then she would fall to the ground, and since Mercer was doing it to help her, she just nodded silently with her red face.
Seeing that Mercer left with Merumi in his arms, Aizu couldn’t avoid speaking in a low voice.
“That is indeed Yale’s disciple, what a natural ability to act like that.”
Aizu still remembered that Yale did the same the first day they had met in the Nacesai Academy, and her face turned a bit red.
