Chapter 248: The Loathsome Life of Lua (6)
It was a relief that Ann also assented to my plan. The mermaids stopped their resistance and decided to accept Lua's sacrifice. Lua boarded the ship with a gloomy face. Eve and Cellu each sat down on the deck and waited for the ship to depart. The fisherman started the ignition with a displeased face, constantly reading our expressions. Come to think of it, that fisherman was someone who had lost his family in this incident.
"Fisherman. Are you okay?"
"I cannot understand this. I will go and tell the lord everything about this case. That the high priest colluded with those dirty fish bastards and betrayed us. All the territory residents believed in the high priest, so how could you do this?"
"Hoo..."
It couldn't be helped. I caught my breath while stretching to loosen up my fingers. Cellu stopped Eve from drawing her curved sword. The fisherman screamed upon seeing our atmosphere rapidly change.
"W-What are you trying to do? Stop it! Please don't do this! To kill a human to protect a mermaid, how could an Archdeity Church high priest..."
"I'm not going to kill you."
I grabbed the fisherman's head and prepared to give him a forehead flick. I wondered how much power I used when I delivered the memory-wiping forehead flick back then. I put strength into my finger and placed it against the fisherman's forehead. The fisherman began to struggle and scream as a strong arm wrapped around his neck.
"P-Please don't do this! Aaaagh! Aaaagh! Stop! I said stop! Aaaagh! I won't say anything...!"
