Beneath the bellies of the strange walking fish appearing inside the Obama City Police Station grew four grotesquely long, pointed legs resembling insect limbs!
Mackerel, flounder, tilefish, yellowtail...
These were all fish commonly found in Wakasa Bay.
Japan was an island country surrounded by the sea. People lived off the land or sea around them, and sea fish held an important place in the national diet. Generally speaking, fish were nothing frightening to the Japanese.
But that was provided those fish appeared in fish markets or supermarket tanks, rather than growing legs and crawling around on the ground.
"Fish... walking?"
"What on earth are these things?!"
The hair-raising sight instantly plunged the police station into panic.
The first person in the Obama City Police Station to discover the strange walking fish was Sakaki Namiru.
After sending Uchiha Naruto off to see the Mermaid Festival, Sakaki Namiru had kept running around inside the Obama City Police Station. Her pestering had annoyed the reception staff so much that they could no longer maintain even a superficial show of politeness. Rolling their eyes, they told her that those were the rules, and she could file a complaint if she disagreed.
Sakaki Namiru even tried to barge into the station's inner offices to confront the station's leadership in person, and unsurprisingly, the officers stopped her.
The officers warned her that if she kept pestering them like this, they would detain her for obstructing official duties.
Sakaki Namiru could only reluctantly back down for the moment and sit on a row of seats in the station lobby.
"Damn it! These salary thieves bully the weak and bow to the strong. They grovel before foreign women, then turn hostile toward their own country's taxpayers!"
Although it was almost noon, Sakaki Namiru had no appetite at all.
