Chapter 103: Mermaid-san

Elfie patrolled the cave perimeter, on the lookout for any potential threats, much like her former master.

She felt indifferent, knowing her master had done something wrong towards Alice, and that Kaisen had beaten him up.

It wasn't new for her.

Her master had done these types of things back in her world.

The only difference between there and here was that he could use his status as the archduke's son to escape from every single atrocity he committed.

But here, his status meant nothing.

Forgetting that fact was her master's downfall.

Was she sad that he's gone?

She don't know.

She don't even know what she was supposed to do now.

Not to mention, no matter what she does here, if her master comes back, she has to go back.

Why?

Because her original body is back in her master's room, plugged into the weird headset that unusually handsome man had provided them.

"Thinking of that man, I had a suspicion he wasn't from our world."

This man was a textbook example of handsomeness.

Like, too handsome that he even rivaled her Queen back in her world.

There was no information on the man, no clan name or associate names or anything with him.

It was as if he simply exploded into existence.

The king had imprisoned and tortured the guy, but that proved useless as he simply did not feel any pain.

He was just too powerful for anyone from her world.

If he wanted to, he could have conquered her world and become its new ruler.

But instead of something like that, he simply offered "entertainment."

Entertainment, unlike anything anyone has ever seen before, all in the shape of a small helmet.

Of course, people were intrigued and doubtful at first, but they slowly started to buy it from him.

'No, no, no.'

She shook her head and stood up.

The bubbles seemed to be slowing down.

Taking a deep breath, she dove into the pool.

The water was cold but not enough to freeze her.

Elfie followed the bubbles' direction and stopped when she saw where they were coming from.

?!

She gasped as she spotted Kaisen lying at the bottom of the pool. Reacting quickly, she swam towards him.

He hadn't lost consciousness entirely; his hands reached out to her, his face pale and blue.

She needed to act fast.

Grabbing his hands, she swam upwards and brought him to the surface.

"Kaisen!!"

Elfie shouted as soon as her head breached the surface. Kaisen remained motionless.

"Kaisen!!!"

Panic rising, she swam towards the edge and pulled him out. Without hesitation, she began administering CPR, pumping his heart.

It was clear he had ingested a lot of water; he looked bloated, like a pregnant woman. Despite her efforts, he remained unresponsive.

Elfie remembered something her master's father had taught her when she was younger.

Artificial respiration, her master's father had told her, could help someone who had ingested water. He had shown her what it meant:

"Open the other party's mouth, make contact with your mouth, breathe in, let your tongue slither inside theirs, and stroke their..."

'Stroke their... mm-hmm... thing... if it gets hard.'

Those were the archduke's words, and when he showed her how, just like he had said, his thing got hard.

He made her stroke his thing, and when the thing came, the archduke came back to life.

Of course, now looking back, that seemed to be ridiculous to her.

So many things seemed to be ridiculous to her, even some things that she firmly believed to be true, seemed false after she mingled with her new party members, but... there was no time to verify if it was true or not...

Without wasting a moment, she parted his lips and pressed her own onto his.
