The sun was bright in the sky and the ship cruised on the surface of the water. Fenrir, Eve, Lelania, Pressila and Mero sat together in the cargo deck drinking tea. Mero is sitting on a new chair that was given to her by her mother. It was shaped like a white egg with red cushion and it's capabilities of floating in the air
"I'm so glad that we are getting to have this girl talk together,"
Mero expressed her thanks
"I can't believe Lucifer took you in as his fourth wife without our permission," Fenrir murmured.
"It was destiny that my dearly beloved and I would meet. Now let us work together to make our Husband the happiest man in the world," Mero said.
"So how old are you Mero?" Pressila wondered.
"I'm only 18 years old."
"Wow that young?"
"Yes, we mermaid's have a lifespan of 200 years so we typically grow up the same way the humans do," Nero explained.
"What are your hobbies?"
"I like to swim, read books and I love to swim. What about you Fenrir?" Mero asked.
"I like fighting nothing more nothing less."
"And you eve?"
"I like adventure, exploring ruins and finding magic items but recently I've found a new hobby of serving Master Lucifer as his maid and his wife."
"That sounds wonderful, what about you Lelania?"
"I don't have a hobby."
"I see, then we should all help you find a new hobby."
"...And who's in charge here, I'm the first wife so I should be in charge," Fenrir stated.
"Excuse me, I was the first to propose marriage so I should be first wife," Lelania said.
Fenrir fumed. "You want to fight."
"I would back down from a challenge."
Fenrir clad her body in lightning and Lelania takes out her staff. Both released a menacing aura that clashed with each other.
"I have a better solution."
Eve took out a pack of cards and placed them on the table.
"Let's play a game of poker and the winner gets to be the head wife."
"That sounds perfect," Mero said with a pure and happy smile.
"Fine," Fenrir complied.
"I shall participate."
Fenrir and Lelania retracted their aura and took a seat.
"What's poker?" Fenrir wondered. .
"Master explained it to me. Don't worry I'll explain the rules of the game."
While eve was explaining the rules for everyone lucifer sits in the commander chair looking at the map on his hand. There were five X's that were crossed out with red markers.
"Ship number 6 empty."
As Black Jack called out another number lucifer marked another X. All night and morning Lucifer remained in his seat as a group of dark lizardmen inside the minisub scout the ocean floor for ship remains.
'At this rate it will take us days to go around the entire continent looking for the fragments,' Lucifer thought to himself.
4 hour later.
"Ship number 7 is empty."
Black Jack gave his report and Lucifer marked out another X. Moments later lucifer's four wives walked in.
"I can believe she beat us."
"I will not underestimate her ever again."
Fenrir, Eve and Lelania seem to be disappointed but Mero was glowing brightly.
"Oh dearly beloved, I have wonderful news. Starting today I'll be your head wife," Mero announced.
"Mind explaining…"
"Yeah we're playing a game of poker to see who would be your head wife and we lost to Mero," Fenrir explained with a disappointed look on her face.
"Was that really necessary?" Lucifer asked.
"Yes but no worry dearly Beloved our love for you will never change and I'm sure you'll love us equally won't you?" Mero asked but Lucifer didn't respond to her.
Eve leaned over and whispered something in Mero's ear that suprised her.
"Oh my goodness how careless of me! Dear beloved, I do apologise, allow me to take back my words...What are you doing?" Mero asked while looking at the map.
"We're searching the ships and marking out the ones that are empty."
"But won't that take up a lot of time?" Lelania asked.
"Yes it will."
"Dearly Beloved, I believe I have a solution for that. I possess a skill called 「Aquacontrol」that allows me to call upon and command aquatic creatures. If you would like I can call upon for some help," Mero suggested and Lucifer accepted.
He and Mero went to the roof of the ship.
"Do it," he ordered.
" As you wish "
Mero sucked in a lot of air and started talking in an echoing voice.
"Creature of the sea ,heed my calling and obey my words search all the ship remains you can find the fragment "
Her words traveled in visible soundwaves that traveled to a radius of 1 kilometers. Every fish and aquatic creature heard her voice and swam off.
"Now all we have to do is wait."
Suddenly a red squid protrudes from the water. It was as big as Pressila and emanated a powerful aura.
"Oh no it's a kraken!" Mero cried out.
The sound of gunshot rang twice. With two bullets Lucifer killed the kraken and its blood dyed the water red.
"We're having squid for dinner," He said.
'He took down a kraken so easily, just how powerful is he?'
Mero ask herself.
Later that evening eve played out different dishes on the table. Everyone was eating including, Black Jack and Pressila. Lucifer was being fed by all four of his wives at the table and soon his mouth was stuffed with squid. In gulp he swallowed it all and wiped his mouth using a napkin then got up.
"Where are you going?"
Mero ask.
"There's something I have to look into, I'll be right back."
Lucifer left the cargo area and walked down the corridor.
'Down at Atlantis when I caught Merlin's trident with my bare hands something happened. The trident aura flowed into me and I got a warm feeling like the trident was acknowledging me as it's master. Something definitely happened and I know someone who does,'
Lucifer held the ring blossom gave him and suddenly the green gem inside the ring glowed. He was enveloped in light and moments later it dissipated. Lucifer found himself surrounded by grass and butterflies. He turned around and found the stunningly beautiful, blond haired woman standing behind him with a smile on her face then she kneeled down before him
"It's good to see you again master."
"Blossom."
