A surprised and slightly confused look appeared on the Merman King's face when he heard this.
He didn't answer right away as he looked at me with this strange look for a bit, but he eventually said, "Why are you asking about this?"
I didn't answer as I just calmly looked at him with a serious look on my face.
The Merman King looked even more confused when he heard this, but he eventually called for someone and said a few things to them before they ran off. It didn't take long for that person to come back with a stack of what seemed like seaweed.
It was better to call them kelp leaves with the way that they were shaped, but that wasn't the important thing.
The important thing was what was on these kelp leaves.
It seemed that this was the thing that was used as paper in the Merman Empire.
That wasn't strange since paper would get soaked under the water, so there was no way of actually using paper.
