Chapter 332: [330] Capture
After some time, a total of thirty-six mermaids, including Melro, settled into August's small world.
August had successfully taken in this unusual cohort of thirty-six mermaid sisters, a rather formidable assembly, especially considering that each one of them desired a child.
Even as he returned, August couldn't shake the feeling that this was all surreal—had he truly acquired so many mermaids?
Upon his arrival, he immediately noticed the disheartened faces of Stunk and his companions.
"What happened to you guys? You just got back?" he asked, puzzled.
"Don't even get me started! We rented a small boat and went out to sea, only to realize how vast the ocean is. Where were we supposed to find sea beasts? We had no choice but to catch some fish and come back," Stunk lamented.
"Uh, well..." August found himself speechless. These four were truly something else.
"Pretty mermaids? None left, none left!" one of them groaned.
"Such a wasted trip," another added.
"I'm the one who should be complaining! You guys had fun last night while I didn't get to!" one of them whined.
In contrast to the three lamenting friends, Bruz remained unusually quiet, having given up from the start. With no expectations, there was no disappointment.
