It took 30 minutes for the janitor to come and mop the wet floor. The old fellow was a chainsmoker and the smell of cigarettes always clung to him. Especially on his scruffy beard.
He also had a habit of spitting a lot. He spat on the very bucket he used to mop the floors with, spat on a stain that won't come out, spat everywhere. Ptui! Ptui! Ptui!
"Ptui! Those stupid hooligans…. They made such a mess, do they have cow dung for brains? Ptui!" He spat.
As he swayed the mop and around, he suddenly heard a rapping on one of the glasses on the left.
"Mr. Janitor~ Yoohoo~"
He turned, and blinked in surprise. It was one of the mermaids, talking to him. Yet this one looked strange compared to the rest.
He had never seen this one before. Everyone else has golden hair and scales. Ths one did have a golden tail but her hair was a luscious red, and her torso wasn't covered in scales….
It wasn't covered by anything at all!
"Hello there~" The red-haired mermaid waved at him, her breast out in the open.
It was very large and swayed about in the water as she moved. The old man immediately drooled, which caused him to spit into his bucket again.
"Ptui! How come I never noticed ya before? And you can even speak English! I thought all these fish-brains only speak the Ching-Chong language!"
The red-haired mermaid narrowed her eyes at the racist remark, but continued to smile. She went to swirl about to show off her beauty and her bountiful melons.
"I'm new here, Mr. Janitor. Poor me had been caught and now I feel so lonely~ I used to have a lover who was a strong, mature merman with a beautiful beard that I just LOVE to caress and touch…. You remind me of him. Can I touch your beard just for a moment?"
The janitor looked like he was about to explode. Especially in his groin area.
"Heh…. So you fishes can like 'em hairy after all…. Hehehe..."
He then shook his head. "But I can't go near them fishes…. I was told that I can only mop these floors and touch nothin'....."
"Oh, come on, Mr. Janitor! All I want is to touch your scruffy beard for one moment to ease my loneliness~" The red-haired girl pleaded. "How about we do an exchange?"
"An exchange?" The old man raised his scruffy eyebrow.
"You look….. Quite excited down there. How about you take off your clothes and ease yourself. There won't be anyone watching besides us girls here, there's no cameras or guards." The red-head said. "Won't you feel better once you let out that poison in front of pretty girls like us?"
The old man's eyes brightened up. "Y-You really want me to….. Do that in front of you?"
He turned to the mermaid sisters. All of them besides one was blind, and the one who wasn't blind was frowning. She was giving the redhead mermaid a questioning look.
"Oh, don't mind her! She's just a little shy. We all want some action after being so lonely for many years…. " She cupped her own breasts seductively. "I might even let you touch these humble ones if you just let me touch your beard later."
"A-Alright! I'll let you touch my beard just for one second, then I'll jerk off to your big beauties!"
The redhead mermaid smirked as he took off his uniform, along with his ID. It was fortunate that the janitor they sent was a perverted old man. It won't be much of a problem even if he wasn't, because of the Enhanced Succubus Skill, but this was much more convenient.
He was fat too, estimated to be 90 kilograms. Even if he weighed less, he could be controlled to just put random objects inside so there would be enough weight.
But destiny was on their side and gave them luck in the form of this fat old janitor.
Once Mr. Janitor had taken everything off and revealed his pea-sized willy, he giggled like a little kid and tried to reach the breasts through the glass.
"Come closer and open this tank first, silly~" The redhead mermaid said. "We have a deal, remember? I get yours and you get mine~"
The old man spat out again. "Ptui! Hehe, yes…. Just a moment, my pretty fishie~"
He opened the tank and used a stool to reach out inside. The mermaid got ahold of his beard, caressing his chin.
"You really have quite the scruff, Mr. Janitor~ This is perfect, more for me~."
The old man tried to reach his hands into the water towards those big, juicy melons. "Come closer, I can't quite reach…"
The redhead chuckled, and then her voice turned deep as she said:
"How about you come closer here?"
She grabbed his beard, pulling almost all of it out of his chubby chin. The old man wanted to wail in pain.
But before he could even shout, his body dived into the tank by itself!
He swam towards the regulator and the goggles, and wore it on himself. And yet, he couldn't leave the tank even when he wanted to. His body won't let him, staying in place as the water enveloped him as well as the sickeningly sweet peach blossom scent.
The redhaired girl turned into a merman in the blink of an eye, her large melons vanishing.
"I get yours and you get mine, as I said. But you had it twisted. I get your place and you get my place." Harker laughed as he swam up. "That's why you gotta keep it in your pants next time, Mr. Janitor!"
He swam up, and turned back into a human. He closed the tank with the panicking janitor inside. He wasn't too worried since he can breathe with a regulator anyway, and it would only take until breakfast time tomorrow for the people to find him there.
He looked at the strands of beard hair that he pulled for a moment, then ate them. He frowned. "These taste like cigarettes…. Blergh."
He then picked up the clothes and the ID that the janitor left, and transformed into him. Princess Jinzhu observed all these transformations happening faster than her rare speed.
"You really are a special one, Harker sir. I still don't know what you really are. A human or a monster?" Princess Jinzhu wondered. "It's baffling to think about."
Harker chuckled. "Well, what do you think?"
She shrugged, and smiled. "I think you're just Harker. Harker the rugged gentleman who has come to save us at last."
Harker didn't know why he found that nickname somehow endearing. He tipped the janitor's hat at Princess Jinzhu before leaving the room with the mop and the bucket, wearing a toothy smile.
"Damn right! I'm just Harker, who wants to get y'all the hell out of here fast! I'll fight for all of you!"
