Are Mermen Really That Easy to Bully?!

Unaware that her actions had plunged her Gege into another life-or-death crisis, Shanna was currently explaining the next steps to her two best friends.

"I'll release Fina later to lure the fishmen away. Then I'll take the opportunity to rescue Gabrielle and leave a magical illusion of Gabrielle behind. Finally, we'll go play on the outskirts of the Mermen Village while waiting for Gabrielle's sister to arrive."

"Etc!"

Phyllis unusually raised objections to Shanna's entire plan.

"Then what are the two of us going to do?"

Although Phyllis did come with Shanna to play, what she wanted was more than just "playing" in the conventional sense!

After all, Black Lake is right here; it won't disappear or suddenly dry up. If she wants to go down into the water to play, she can come anytime. There's nothing to look forward to.

So what she was looking forward to was something more thrilling, more exciting, more... well, that kind of thing!

It has to be said that the speed at which a person, especially a child, grows up can be truly astonishing.

Less than a year ago, Phyllis was very nervous and scared about diving into the Black Lake.

Now, the little girl is itching to go find that Giant Squid and have another go at it.

This time, she's going to be the main player!

I really don't know what outrageous ideas Shanna has been feeding her friends lately...

In short, Phyllis was very dissatisfied with Shanna's arrangements.

She's going to fight!

"You two? Just watch."

Shanna said matter-of-factly.

She doesn't need anyone else's help with something this simple.

... Fina is not considered a person.

"No!"

Phyllis grabbed Shanna's arm, stopping her from trying to lift Fina out.

"Lei Lei, come and help!"

Phyllis knew perfectly well that Shanna was incredibly strong. On her own, Shanna could easily break free from her grasp with just a little effort.

Therefore, in order to fight for her rightful interests, Phyllis gestured to Lena with her eyes, instructing her to hold onto Shanna's other arm tightly.

"Shanna, Little Gabrielle is also our good friend. We want to do our part in saving Little Gabrielle, otherwise we won't be able to eat or sleep properly, don't you think, Lei Lei?"

To make her impromptu excuse more convincing, Phyllis tried to signal to Lena with her eyes.

"Yes, yes."

Faced with her friend's oppressive gaze, Lena reluctantly nodded.

As the only one among the three with sound values, it's only natural that Lena also opposes this action.

It wasn't that she wasn't worried about Little Gabrielle's safety, but rather that she believed the professors at the school wouldn't allow Little Gabrielle to get really hurt.

Unfortunately, Shanna's decision was not something anyone could stop. Not to mention, among them was Phyllis, who betrayed the revolution.

With two against one, Lena, who was at a significant disadvantage, had no choice but to return to the Black Lake, a place that had left her with unforgettable memories, with her two best friends.

"Ouch!"

Shanna was in a dilemma when faced with the requests of her two friends.

This wasn't part of her plan!

Moreover, she had promised her Gege that she wouldn't cause too much trouble this time, so she should try to avoid fighting if possible.

After a moment of contemplation, under Phyllis's expectant gaze, Shanna produced an underwater topographical map. Pointing to a spot on the map, she said to Phyllis and Lena:

"Alright then, you two sneak up to this spot. After Fina lures the murlocs away, she'll try to shake them off from here. You two will be responsible for helping Fina hold off the murlocs."

Although Shanna was somewhat worried about letting the two out of her sight, she was confident that with Fina around, they could be kept safe.

"Understood! Mission accomplished!"

Phyllis gave a proper salute, then without saying a word, took the map from Shanna, and, pulling Lena along, swam towards the designated ambush location without looking back.

Shanna focused her senses on her two friends until they were out of her maximum sensory range before withdrawing her attention and taking out the sleeping Little Fina from her coat pocket.

The moment she left the warm and comfortable pocket, the icy lake water instantly soaked Fina's fur.

The little guy gave Shanna a resentful look. She didn't even cast a waterproof Curses on it.

Ignoring Fina's resentment, Shanna stared seriously into her eyes and said:

"Listen, you must follow the plan exactly. Also, Lis and Lei Lei are lying in ambush at the previously designated escape point. You must take good care of them and make sure they don't get hurt, understand?"

"Awoo~!"

Fina readily agreed to the new request.

Although it was somewhat unwilling to be a babysitter at such a young age, it dared not show it, otherwise it might have to eat grass for the next month.

Moreover, Fina was quite confident that she could protect the two little girls from a bunch of lousy fishmen.

It's just a bunch of delicious food.

Fina licked her lips, recalling fond memories once again, and drool uncontrollably streamed down her face.

I wonder if I'll have a chance to catch a few more fishmen to try later?

"Very good, go ahead!"

Feeling that the time was almost up, and that Phyllis and Lena should have arrived at the designated location and prepared for an ambush, Shanna unleashed her ultimate technique, passed down from her Gege— "Throw You Fina!"

The little girl grabbed Fina by the back of the neck and, with the little guy looking utterly hopeless, forcefully threw her towards the fishman Patrol Team not far away.

Whoosh! Bang!

Because Shanna accidentally used too much force, Fina swam through the water at high speed and crashed solidly into a Patrol Team Captain.

"What the hell!? (Fishman's language)"

The Patrol Team team members were stunned to see their captain suddenly attacked by an unknown force and thrown dozens of meters away before floating motionless in the water.

This is different from the script!

The game should have just started, right? Surely no Champion should be able to get here by now?

And what's wrong with attacking at the slightest disagreement? Do they really think they, the fishmen, are easy to bully?

Just as the Patrol Team of fishmen was about to risk being scolded by Dumbledore to teach the Little Wizard who dared to attack them a lesson, one of the sharp-eyed fishmen finally saw clearly what had attacked their captain.
