Chapter 195: Youth (6)
“Do you like your clothes, Cellu?”
“They're stifling.”
Cellu, wearing the school uniform I had given her, moved her body this way and that. A mermaid in an Academy school uniform gave off a far more maniacal feeling than I had expected. A knight passing behind me flinched in surprise upon seeing Cellu's attire, then looked at me, shook his head, and fled. Cellu pointed at the back of the fleeing knight's head and spoke.
“That person is running away.”
“Let him be. He's not the type to say anything to my face. Anyway, what do you think of the design? I specifically had it made with waterproof material. It's fine to swim in.”
Surprisingly, waterproof material existed in this world's setting. I had only asked just in case, but the nun had listed waterproof material as if it were a matter of course. With only her lower body submerged, the clothes weren't wet yet. Cellu undid the blazer's buttons again and spoke.
“Mermaids don't wear clothes.”
“But before you're a mermaid, you're my woman. I don't like you showing your naked body to others.”
“That sounds like something a womanizer would say. You must have said the same to Sieri and Eve, right?”
