Slander

Hearing Mr. Fisher's words, Moli glanced at their incredibly awkward position and her face immediately turned beet red. She quickly stood up and then crouched down next to Mr. Fisher, apologizing in a low voice,

"Sorry... I'm so sorry..."

However, her soft tail remained on her knees, gently patting her own body as she spoke, as though soothing a child about to fall asleep.

In the dark, her pair of blue eyes, filled with the vastness of the ocean itself, flickered with a faint glow, alongside the fluorescent light that shone from her non-human form, making her appear like a princess in the darkness. A tiara-like band gently lifted her silky hair, moving with her every breath.

Mr. Fisher sat up and looked at Moli beside him. She seemed to be deliberately using her body to block his view, preventing him from seeing the mermaid tail behind her.
