“Oh?”
Unexpectedly, the murderer was still nearby. Philip jumped up. He really wanted to see what the murderer looked like.
A red-haired boy dressed in rags entered his sight. He carried a large fish tank on his back, which contained the mermaid that had just been auctioned off.
The boy saw that Philip was just staring at him quietly. After putting the mermaid down, he revealed a pair of sharp claws stained with blood.
“You don’t seem human,” Philip said lightly.
Roar!
The boy crouched down and growled as if warning Philip not to approach him.
“You probably don’t understand what I’m saying.” Suddenly, the boy bared his teeth and rushed over, waving his sharp claws.
Philip had no choice but to knock him out and carry him over to the mermaid, who kept shrinking back in horror. However, there was only that much room in the glass case.
With these two merpeople, Philip sneaked into the aquarium from earlier, which was closed at this time.
When looking over them, Philip found scars on the boy. They were densely packed like vines all over his body. Some had been scabbed over, while others were inflamed and festering.
After putting some medicine on him, Philip brought the mermaid to the aquarium. The ocean beasts cheered up when they saw the mermaid’s arrival.
The seawater in the small fish tank was stinking up.
Philip carried the mermaid and applied some medicine where her scales fell off. He put her into the big fish tank for the time being.
