Friends

Chapter 5

**I'm doomed if this mermaid ever finds out that panties do exist!!!!****

He then carries Muriel like a princess like nothing weird happened.

"Why did you even turn your tail in a human leg in the first place if you can't walk yet?"

Muriel sulk like a baby and never ever let go of Luca's neck. She just hugged it tightly and said

"I didn't want to! but I can't still control when to and when not to okay!? So, you have to keep me company until my magic powers run out."

"Ehh??? Why do I have to keep you company?"

"Well it's because I can't swim using human legs too! You idiot!"

"Why not crawl then?"

"Are you kidding me??!!! You said i'm so beautiful with this dress and yet you wanted me to crawl???!"

The mermaid was so furious and luca just laugh.

"You're really a horrible person luca! Is that how human treat beautiful ladies??"

"Hahahah okay okay Im sorry... I'll stop teasing you then. "

"GOOD!! Then common! Where's the dress you bought for me??"

Luca then refuse to gave it to her because she might realize the private parts of a lady below her belly. She might really brand luca as a super-duper maniac human in the world.

"I won't give this to you not until you know how to properly walk."

"EHHHHH????!!!!! Why are you like that!!!???"

Muriel pout like a puppy.

"I thought we're already friends luca huhu so why are you so strict on me????"

"Well, do you know that the elegance of the dress shines so brightly if the person who wears it knows how to walk properly?"

"R...REALLY???"

"Yes ofcourse! In my country, we call them models! They are the face of those elegant dress because they can walk perfectly."

"M..Models?? That's the first time I heard about such species."

Luca was in a verge of collapsing just to convince Muriel.

"And you know what those models' secrets are?"

Muriel looked at Luca with eagerness to learn the secret.

"Their secret is...."

Luca then came closer to Muriel and whisper in her ears.

"The dress they wear is free and will be given to them after they walk perfectly while wearing it."

Muriel's eyes shine so bright with excitement.

"OMG!!! Then common! What are you waiting for Luca!! Teach me how to walk perfectly like a model!"

"EHHHH?? ME??!"

"Yes! You ofcourse!!"

"Why me???! Don't you have walking teachers below the sea?"

"No!! I don't want them! I want you to be the one who will teach me because you're the only one who saw how models walk!!!!"

"BUT IM NOT A TEACHER MURIEL!"

"Pleaaaseee Lucaaaaaa...!!!!!"

"NOOOOO!!!"

"WHYYY??? HUHUHU I WANT TO BE A MODELLL!!!"

Luca was about to stand up to get away from Muriel but Muriel hugged his legs like a child begging for a toy.

"What are you doinggg??!!"

"I won't stop until you said Yes to me Lucaaaa!!!"

"What the hell???"

"Just say yes!! HUHU in exchange for teaching me, then I'll tell you were to hunt a lot of fishes too."

Luca looked at Muriel seriously

"DEAL!"

"You really like fishes that much huh?"

"Hehehe not really"

The two of them agreed. And Luca then started teaching Muriel how to walk first.

"First, you have to stand up."

As soon as Muriel stand up, she immediately lost her balance and luca immediately grab her arms to assist her.

"Just slowly okay?? Be mindful and Keep your balance."

"Okay! Teacher Luca!"

Muriel grab unto luca's arms and she felt that Luca's biceps are well shaped.

***Does he have 6 pack abs? ***

"Hey are you listening?"

Muriel then came back to her senses and said

"Yes? What is it again teacher luca?"

"I said you have to properly stand up first, before taking a step."

"Oh, is standing important?"

Luca then covered his eyes in dismay because he never expected that this mermaid is so dumb to have this kind of amulets.

"I'm gonna let you go okay? Feel the gravity and balance on your own."

"H...He...Heyy!! Why so suddenly???"

"Because of how dumb you are, it's the fastest way to learn!!!"

Muriel then hold Luca's biceps so tightly and said

"NOOOO!! Just slowly!! Just let me go slowly pleassseeee teacher Luca???"

"Okay Fine!!! I'll let you go slowly!!"

Luca then slowly stepped away from Muriel, while Muriel is still thinking how the hell Luca got such a perfect biceps. As soon as Luca hold the hands of Muriel, she suddenly felt as if the world was in slow motion as she slowly looked at luca who was looking at her foot seriously.

"Great that's it! Muriel! You're doing great.!!"

As soon as Luca let go of her hands, Muriel was able to stand up. They both looked at each other with excitement.

"OMG!! I did it!!"

Muriel suddenly jump towards luca and hugged him.

"What the hell! You can jump but you can't walk?!"

"EH? Jumping is easy you know?"

Luca was dumbfounded.

***This piece of fish argg!!***

"Now that you know how to stand up then let's walk slowly."

Luca stand beside Muriel and offered his arm like an escort do. She then held the biceps she likes again and slowly started to walk step by step.

"A 1, A 2, A 3 Yeah that's right Muriel Keep going!"

As Muriel seriously practicing walking, Luca used wind magic to let the dress he bought flew.

"Oh no! Your dress Muriel!"

When Muriel saw that the wind blows the second dress Luca bought for her, she immediately walks and then run in a hurry to get it.

"NO NO NO!! You're not getting away from meeee!!!"

She then catches the dress and did a backflip which made Luca so stunned because she looked like someone in an action movie.

"Hey Teacher Luca! I got it! Hehehe!"

She waved her hands with the dress and smiled towards Luca. Luca was embarrassed because he almost saw Muriel's gem hidden below the dress. So, he just fakes a laugh.

****If this mermaid will know about panties in the future and reminisce this day, she will probably kill me. ****

"Now that you know how to walk, then tell me where do you hunt a lot of fish?"

They both sat down and talked seriously.

"Actually, Luca, A lot of wild monsters in the ocean world prison escaped and they all ate a lot of fishes in the sea."

"So that is what happening? It's not a nature calamity then?"

"Yeah! They even attack us the almost twice a month due to scarcity of fishes in the ocean, and that's why we the mermaids kept the fish survivors and secretly breed them in a secret place."

"So, in the end I'm not allowed to hunt the fishes in the breeding area on my own, am I?

Muriel smiled so annoyingly. A weird smile which shows that she successfully tricked a little kid.

"Who the hell said that I will let you hunt the fish? I only said that I'll tell you where is the location of the hunting spot, right?"

Luca suddenly sat in the corner of the boat, feeling depressed and said

"I hate you Muriel, let's not be friends anymore."

Muriel laughed so hard on how cute Luca is. She almost cried because of the intense laughter.

"I'm sorry Luca, I didn't mean to trick you HAHAHA but----but you we're tricked BWAHAHAHAH"

"Stop laughingggg!!! Huhuhu"

"Alright alright i'll stop HAHAHA"

As soon as Muriel stops, she then used her magic and bring fort the fishes she hunted. All of the fishes suddenly jump from the sea and enter the barrels. Luca who was sitting in the corner was amaze on how beautiful it was done.

"It's twice the amount of what you hunted the other day. So, buy me a beautiful dress again and keep the change okay? Hehehe"

Luca's sadness turned into a big smile. These fish will be enough to negotiate to other countries to allied with them instead of bringing war.

"Okay Madaam Muriel! Hehehe"

Muriel suddenly sulk and throws a fish to hit luca's head again.

"Ouch! What was that for ???!"

"Stop being so formal to me Luca!! I told you to call me Mui!!! We're friends, right??!!"

Luca was embarrassed to say the word friend because all of his so-called friends are just a fake friend because of his status of an emperor. So, it is the first time someone called him friend not because of status but because of who he is personally.

"Ah..ah? Yeah! We're friends..."

"Then start calling me Mui from now on! Got that??!"

Luca smiled charmingly and said

"Got it, Mui."

Then Mui's feet suddenly turned into a tail and left.

Luca then prepared all of the fishes to be sent to his kingdom and saved 4 barrels of fishes for sale in their house. He wrote a letter to Hunter while smiling.

***This will keep her safe from those run-away monsters. ****

***And I promise!! I'm going to beat their breeding area and I'll laugh at her too! ****

***Evil Laugh***

Emy saw Luca and felt like he is for sure in-love with that Lady Muriel.

***I have to meet her as soon as possible! ***

And All day Emy just keeps on following wherever Luca go.

[Kingdom of Karg]

"Your Highness Hunter! The Emperor sent a letter in his pigeon!"

The servant immediately run to give the letter to Hunter.

"Dear My ever-loving Handsome Minister,"

Just from that first words Hunter immediately felt disgust.

"I have already investigated the phenomenon. It seems that Ocean monsters escaped from the Ocean prison. Put a job post on the adventurers to hunt monsters in our Kingdom's Sea and reward them the highest rewards we can give. Please do make our ocean a breeding area for fish. I'll be sending you 10 carriages of fishes and a carriage full of alive fishes for breeding. I hope you could make a reasonable deal with our neighboring countries through these fishes and make an alliance in killing sea monsters immediately."

***No wonder we can't find any clues of the disappearance. ***

"PS: You still have to pay these carriages of fish got that? "

Hunter suddenly saw a magazine behind the letter with a lot of dress styles and saw a note.

"Find these kinds of dress too and send it to me. I'll be sending my phoenix for you to look cool in negotiating other countries, and put all of the dress in my phoenix's backpack okay? hehe."

***What the hell is he going to do with the dress???!!****

Hunter suddenly imagine Grant wearing different kinds of elegant dress.

***I...Is he a Gay that's why he run away???!!!****

Hunter suddenly remembered a letter where luca sent him a "Mwa" and blurted out.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
