Bab 188: 188 – Something in the Water

"There's something in the water!" According to my orders, Leva rushed out of the water and drew her large machete from behind her waist.

Eric tossed his shovel, then pulled his katana from his back, preparing to face whatever came out of the water.

"Wait." Miro gestured for the two colonists to lower their respective weapons. "I think I know what it is."

What came out of the water was not a giant fish, as I had previously thought, but a mermaid-like creature. The upper body is shaped like a man, while the lower body looks like a fish. However, what really set him apart from ordinary humans was his body full of shiny bluish-colored scales, a pair of large and completely black eyes, a mouth without lips, long straight hair of transparent whitish color, and the most striking thing was the absence of a nose on his face.

"A lake merman…." Miro hissed with an amazed expression. "It turns out that they do exist and are not just legends."
