Whispers of a Thousand Mouths

"How will you help us then?" Cattolhe, the middle-aged merman from before finally voiced his thoughts. He stopped when Shizuka gave him a narrow look and a knowing smile.

"I have my ways. You'll see~"

The other knights secretly turned to look at the two human boys, trying to guess what they were thinking. But alas, they were also giving them a mischievous smile in return, surprising them completely.

"I never would've thought there would be a day where we, merpeople, ask you, humans, for help. Especially powerless children," Cattolhe straightforwardly stated in front of the triplets' faces, giving them a distrustful look.

"Well, there is a first time for everything, old man." Yuzuru placed his hands behind his head and stared at the old merman with a sheepish grin plastered widely on his face.

You could even forget that he was a boy for a sec-- ah-hem! Forget I said anything.
