"Hey, we were getting along just fine a moment ago. Don't pull this on me."
Werther stared at Madame Shyarly clinging to his leg with a pitiful look on her face, at a loss for words.
A moment ago, she had been all cool and aloof. How had she changed so completely?
"Let go. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, I'll destroy Fish-Man Island right now."
At Werther's words, Madame Shyarly gently released him.
"Please promise me one thing. I'm begging you."
"Hm?" Werther glanced at Shyarly, who had suddenly returned to normal. Was something wrong with this woman's head?
"Go on."
"While you're on Fish-Man Island, let me be your guide. I can show you everything the Island has to offer until you leave."
Werther frowned slightly.
"So you want to keep an eye on me?"
Madame Shyarly smiled.
"How could I? I'm just a helpless woman. I don't know who you are, but you must be very powerful.
I only want to help Fish-Man Island find a different future."
Hearing her explanation, Werther found this mermaid more interesting by the moment.
"Heh. Interesting. Very interesting. Fine, follow me if you want.
My name is Werther. People call me the Thunder Swordsman."
Shyarly's pupils contracted. The name Werther meant little to her, but there was no way she hadn't heard of the Thunder Swordsman.
That made her even more certain: if he wanted to destroy Fish-Man Island, it would not be difficult.
"So where are you taking me now? Are you going to leave me sitting in your Mermaid Cafe?"
Shyarly steadied herself at his words. She could also feel the weight on her shoulders growing. She had to save her home. She had to save Fish-Man Island.
"Of course not. Camie, fetch a bubble ring.
