While Akira claimed to be there to apologize for Yayoi’s rudeness, the two of them had a plan. It was clear Sir Nicholas would be more willing to listen to a lord than his daughter. So, a little bluffing was in order.
So, while the two adults went to look at the mermaid in the storage room, Yayoi stayed behind. If they moved Yuu between enclosures, they must’ve had some transportation method she could use to steal her away. If she asked some of the servants, one was bound to crack.
Meanwhile, Akira needed to keep their host occupied.
“She’s a lovely creature. I once encountered a school of wild mermaids on a trip over seas. They can be quite captivating. I don’t blame my daughter for being taken in by her beauty. You know teens.”
