It took Shu about six minutes for him to get to his kingdom, and once he got there he was met by Ean who seemed to had also just recently landed on the ground
" Ean, what the hell happened? "
Shu questioned as he bent down to his knee, allowing the mermaid queen to get off his back
" Well, uh, to put it shortly, I was attacked by a thing with horns "
Ean replied, shrugging a little, not sure how to explain it, the creature was odd after all
" Was it something like this? "
Shu added as he would then raise his arm, showing the other man the creature he had defeated
" Wow-uh, hmm, yeah, it was quite literally just the same as this, but it's skin was red "
Ean whispered as he got close to the demon like thing, touching its face with his fingers
" Well, what happened to the red one? "
Shu asked, only for Ean to grab the creature, placing it on the ground to get a better look at it
" Uh—well, your kids were in danger so I kind of had to eradicate it, I was disappointed though because I didn't think there were more like it, but thanks to you we'll be able to analyze this thing "
Ean explained, all whilst being watched by Shu who simply kept his attention on the creature's body
" It's muscles are dense, and it doesn't seem to have any energy veins, or a core—i mean I think it literally has no sanctuary energy at all "
Shu said as he would then sit down next to the creature's body
" Uh, are you two just going to leave me out here? I need somewhere to sit "
The mermaid queen said as both Ean and Shu would just turn to look at her, whilst simultaneously pointing at the door in the ground
" Our wives and kids are in that bunker, you're free to join them if you want "
Ean replied, only for the queen to sigh, grumbling a little as she would then walk toward the door, whispering to herself every insult known to man, all whilst being watched by the two men who could care less for what she had to say
" Anyway "
Ean whispered as the two would then look at the creature
" So what do you think Shu? Could it be a demon? "
Shu would simply frown a little, grabbing the creatures horns, squeezing them a bit, only to later spread open its eyelids to see them more carefully
" No, besides it's horns there isn't anything demon like about it. Well, I can't really say much since I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to devils, but I'm one hundred percent sure this thing isn't a demon "
Shu replied while open its mouth, seeing its tongue, which was completely black, with long pointy teeth, similar to those of a shark's
" We're going to have to ask a biologist or something "
Ean said as the two of them would simply sigh, continuing their conversation about this thing, but as that happened, the women would also go on in an endless talk
" So, I was thinking "
Petra said as she would then cross her leg over the other, laying back against the couch she was sitting on
" Thinking about what? "
Ayami replied, making the other woman smile as she would then go on to explain
" Well, I was thinking of arranging a marriage between my son and your daughter, or… "
She would place her hand on her stomach, rubbing it a bit as Ayami would simply raise an eyebrow
" My soon to be born child and one of your children "
Ayami would tilt her head a little, blinking a few times before sighing loudly
" And why would you want that? "
Ayami questioned as Petra simply shrugged
" Well I mean, it's mainly because I think my son and your daughter are starting to like each other, I mean just the other day I found the two blushing just because they accidentally touched each other's fingers "
Petra explained, to which Ayami simply laughed, sitting her hand on her forehead whilst laughing loudly
" That's such a childish reason Petra, who in the world marries their child over something so innocent? "
Ayami questioned, laughing even when she spoke the sentence only to receive a slight chuckle from Petra who looked at her with a smile, but just when the two women were about to continue, they were interrupted by the mermaid queen who had just stepped into the bunker.
The queen was surprised to see how well defined the bunker was, if looked upon by unknowledgeable eyes then they would go on to assume they were inside of a castle
" Hello, we meet again, Ayami queen of humans "
The mermaid said as she walked into the room, grabbing herself a seat, sitting down on a couch next to Petra
" Yes, we meet again, Flouray queen of mermaids "
Ayami replied with a small smile on her face, as Flouray simply closed her eyes, shutting the room into silence with her unwanted presence
" Well, what brings you to my husband's bunker? "
Ayami questioned as the mermaid queen simply chuckled, slowly opening her eyes only to give the human woman a glare
" Well your husband went on and saved my life, carried me on his back and gave me refuge here "
The queen explained, aggravating Ayami who's left eye began to twitch.
It looked like these two had history together, and by the looks of it, it wasn't neither friendly or good history.
" Well, Petra, if you don't mind, will you offer the new guest some tea whilst I go fetch Queen Emma? "
Ayami said, smiling whilst at the same time giving off a vibe of murderous intent, which of course made the mermaid queen to glare at her as if daring the woman to do something, but Ayami walked away before her emotions could get the best of her
" Ehm—what type of tea do you like your majesty? "
Petra questioned as she stood from her couch, walking toward a kitchen as the queen simply tilted her head from left to right as if trying to think of a way to answer the human woman
" Any type of tea would do, in the ocean I can't drink anything, the water is always keeping me hydrated so any type of taste will set right with me "
The queen explained, only to receive an accord nod from Petra, who predicted that as long as this queen stayed here, this awkwardness would remain.
