How to become a mermaid

Chapter 301 Manatee Nomo's Diary

[Today I ate a fish that I had never seen before in the North Pole. Its name seems to be "Snow Fat Fish". It is white and soft. It looks like it is made of snow, and there is a lot of fat in the fish. Fatty fat melts as soon as it is bitten into the mouth.

It's delicious. Snow fat fish, if only we had it there!
After we were full, we went to rest on the little mermaid's boat.

Woooooo... The mermaids are really like the rumors, they are a group of kind-hearted fish!
It was so warm and comfortable on board, more comfortable than my own nest.

Moreover, the little mermaid was worried that we would not sleep well, so she came here and sent us fluffy seaweed mats.

It is said that this thing can still be eaten. If you are hungry when you go to bed at night, you can eat it while sleeping.

I tasted it and found that it tasted slightly salty, and there was a burnt smell when chewing. It should be baked with something, and it was quite delicious! 】

"Kazi...Kazi" Nomo the manatee lay on the ground, chewing the seaweed in his mouth leisurely, while recording his life seriously.

In just one day, it wrote several pages.

It is estimated that by the time it returns home, it will be able to publish a best-selling book in the manatee world similar to "Arctic Travel Guide".

"Mr. Nuomo, are you still recording your life?" Looking at the manatee who was writing hard, Shaman Laier asked curiously.

Hearing Shamanlael's question, Nuomo shook his tail and said excitedly: "Yes! I feel that there are a lot of things to record. The North Pole is really an interesting place!"

"When I go back, the manatees in the family will definitely be envious when they see these things I wrote!"

"Then come on, I'll send these seaweeds to Jiji now!" Seeing the excited Nomo, Shamanlael nodded with a smile, and was about to leave with a large handful of seaweeds.

"Wait a minute, are you going to deliver something to that yellow-haired sea monkey?" Nuomo suddenly stopped Shamanlael.

Shamanlell paused and asked suspiciously: "Yes, what's wrong, Mr. Nuomo?"

"You'd better not go, that monkey is suffering from paranoia!" Nuomo said seriously.

"What... delusional disorder?" Shaman Laier asked puzzled.

Seeing that he seemed a little puzzled, Nuomo raised his notebook, turned it to the second page, and showed Shamanlell what he had recorded before.

[The little yellow monkey was assigned to a separate room. It is said that because of the misfortune it encountered before, sleeping with other creatures has a shadow in its heart.

Oh, what a pity~
In fact, I didn't like this sea monkey very much at first, and I always felt that there was something strange about it. However, after learning about its story, my dislike for it turned into guilt and worry.

It's normal to be a little strange, after all, it is so miserable, if I have such an experience, it will become even more strange, right?

After closing my eyes, I didn't fall asleep for a long time.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that a sea monkey would feel lonely sleeping alone in a room.

So, I used the leftover fish bones, added some snowflakes and ice cubes, and made it a beautiful "little female monkey", and wanted to send it to sleep with it.

However, when I reached the door of the sea monkey's room, I heard it talking.

I can't quite hear what it's saying, but I can feel it's having a conversation.

Who is it talking to?It's the only one in the room?
I'm confused.

While thinking hard, I remembered the case my mother once told me.

It says that some animals suffer from spiritual diseases because they cannot bear the blow after suffering great pain.

They will have hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, emotional disturbances, and personality changes.

Hypochondria is one of the most typical symptoms!
Creatures suffering from hypochondria will imagine a non-existent "partner" in their minds. In the early stage of the disease, they will communicate with this partner in private, but in the later stage, they will communicate blatantly and completely fall into the imaginary world. among.

I think the current symptoms of this sea monkey are very consistent with the various manifestations of delusional disorder!

Unfortunately, I don't know of a cure for delusional disorder, so in order not to further stimulate it, I stood at the door for a while and then left. 】

"Psychosis?" Seeing the crooked handwriting written in the manatee Nomo's notebook, Shaman Lair made a surprised voice.

"Well..." Nuomo pondered for a while, and said, "This is just my guess, it may not be correct!"

After finishing speaking, it added: "However, I really heard Gigi talking to herself!"

Nuomo can swear that he really heard it, if not, then he has delusional disorder!
Seeing the swearing expression on the manatee's face, Samantel felt a little convinced.

He was holding the seaweed with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision.

Handing the seaweed to Nuomo, Shaman Lair said: "Then I will not bother Jiji today, Mr. Nomo, thank you for telling me this. If you need this handful of seaweed, please take it."

"Okay!" Nuomo just likes to eat this kind of seaweed, and when he saw Shamanleer give him the seaweed, he happily accepted it.

"Then I won't disturb your rest, good night everyone!"

Shaman Lair said hello to all the sea creatures in the game room, and left here.

"Da da da…"

Going up the stairs, it didn't take long for Samantel to pass by Gigi's room.

Seeing the closed door, he stopped at the stairs and hesitated for a while.

After much deliberation, I decided to quietly listen to what Gigi was saying.

Walking to the door of Jiji's room, Shamanlael held his breath, lying on the door and listening carefully.

However, I don't know whether Jiji's paranoia has temporarily stopped, or for other reasons, and there is no sound coming out of it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

There was silence all around, only the sound of waves from the distant bay could be heard.

After another ten seconds, there was still no movement in the house.

Maybe...Nomo got it wrong?

Eavesdropping on this kind of behavior is not a good thing after all, Shamanleir thought for a while, but still didn't want to disturb Jiji, turned around and left here before it found out.

"Da da da da..." The voice gradually faded away, and Shaman Lair went upstairs.

"Wow...wow..."

The surroundings returned to silence, only the sound of waves echoing.

"Click..." After a few seconds of silence, Jiji's door suddenly opened.

With a smile on her face, Gigi walked out of the room full of energy.

It glanced around, and asked in a brisk tone: "Hi, is anyone looking for Jiji?"

No one responded, and the corridor was empty.

"Hello~ Is anyone there?"

After asking again and confirming that there was no one else around, the smile on Gigi's face subsided and she returned to her expressionless look.

It looked down, as if it had noticed something, squatted down and touched the floor with its fingers.

This area was a little darker than the others, as if it had been wetted by something.

Feeling the moist texture from her fingers, Jiji tilted her head and whispered to herself: "Sure enough, someone came here just now, and stayed here for a long time."

It cast its gaze in the direction of the stairs, and whispered, "Is that the mermaid? Or who? What did it hear from me?"

……

Day two.

Samantel woke up amidst a commotion.

In a daze, he heard a burst of laughing and shouting outside the room.

"Gigi, come one more!"

"Mr. Gigi is amazing!"

"Hiss... little monkey, can you teach me this move? I want to try it too!"

"Oh hey hey~ This is very difficult, are you sure you want to learn?"

"Ah~ It seems that everyone is awake, and it's time for me to get up." Hearing the noisy voices below, Shamanlaer rubbed his eyes, yawned and walked out of the room.

He came to the deck and saw Gigi and other sea creatures as expected.

They formed a circle, looking intently at Gigi's performance.

Even Alicia was there, and even brought Tess and Huck who hadn't seen for a long time.

These two little guys are hiding in Alicia's clothes at this time, only showing half of their head and a pair of eyes.

Tess was the first to discover that Shaman Lair woke up.

It sticks out its little furry head, and sends a soft invitation to Shaman Lair on the boat:
"Meow~" Xiaoyu, let's see the monkey together!
"Shhhhh~"

Jiji, who was in the middle of the encirclement, was holding a wooden stick that he didn't know where he got it from. There was a bowl on the stick, and he was turning the bowl in an upside-down manner.

While turning, it also runs around with its hands on its hands, interacting with the audience off the field.

"Feed a fish to Jiji, and Jiji will add another bowl~"

"Do you want to feed Gigi~"

Alicia's eyes lit up on the sidelines when she heard Gigi's words.

She took out a big plump cod from the pile of frozen fish and threw it in Jiji's direction.

"Gigi! Here!"

"Ah woo~" Gigi jumped into the air, firmly grasping the fish thrown by Alicia with her mouth.

Seeing that it moves so proficiently without any hesitation, it should have done this job a lot before.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~”

After eating the fish in his mouth in twos and threes, Jiji showed a satisfied smile on his face.

While eating fish, it noticed Shaman Lair on the boat, so he raised his head and shouted: "Good morning, little mermaid! Would you like to come down and watch me perform a circus together!"

"Gigi can hold a bowl, turn a plate, fly monkeys in the air, trampoline, smash steel plates on her chest, and dance ballet on the edge of a knife!"

Hearing Gigi talk about the acrobatics she would like to announce the name of the dish, Shamanlael felt a little pity for it.

To practice so many things, I must have suffered a lot.

"Da da da…"

After getting off the boat, Samantel picked a plump snow fat fish from the frozen fish mountain, and handed it to Jiji himself.

"Jiji, eat a piece of fish and take a rest, there is no need to work so hard early in the morning."

"It's not hard, these are trivial things to Jiji~"

"Seeing everyone smile because of Gigi, Gigi is very happy!" Gigi did not refuse Shamanleir's kindness, and took the fish with a smile.

While tapping the ice cubes on the outer layer of the frozen fish with its hands, it asked Shamanlell in a relaxed tone: "By the way, little fish, did you see Jiji sleepwalking yesterday?"

"Gigi sometimes sleepwalks when she falls asleep at night, so she locks the door every day to prevent herself from running around. If you hear Gigi talking nonsense one day, don't be scared~"

Hearing that Gigi said that she could sleepwalk, Shamanleir showed a dazed expression on her face and said, "Oh~ so that's the case!"

So Nomo heard Gigi talking to herself not because she was delusional, but because she was sleepwalking?
Seeing Shamanleir's reaction, Gigi asked nervously:

"What's the matter? Did Gigi really run out last night?"

It scratched its head, and said shyly, "No way! That would be too embarrassing!"

"No, no." Shamanel quickly waved his hand and said, "You don't sleepwalk!"

Talking to yourself in your own room, shouldn't this be considered sleepwalking?
"Hee hee~ That's good!" Hearing Shaman Lair's answer, Gigi had a joyful smile on her face, as if she was relieved that she didn't make any strange moves.

However, under its half-closed eyes, there was no smile at all.

When he said he could sleepwalk just now, the mermaid and the manatee in the corner showed unexpected reactions on their faces, indicating that these two should be the ones who went to the door of its room last night.

They must have heard something!
Has my identity been exposed... No, probably not yet, but there is a risk!

Do you want to find a chance to... kill them?
No one thought that Jiji, who was smiling all over her face at this time, was planning to kill the fish to silence her.

It finished eating the fish sent by Shamanlell with a calm expression, and continued to perform acrobatics, as if nothing had happened.

"Shusha...Shusha..." Looking at Jiji bouncing in front of him, Nuomo seemed to have a burst of inspiration, and kept writing in his notebook with a pen.

[It turns out that Jiji was not delusional when she said to herself last night, that's really great!
But... I still feel a little weird.

What is so strange about it?

Jiji Mingming is a good monkey who is strong and hardworking. He knows that we are bored when we get up in the morning, and he kindly entertains us with performances, but I just feel that there is an inexplicable sense of disobedience in him...

My intuition has always been very accurate. Whether there is danger in the sea, or poison in the fish, or my mother is going to get angry and hit me, I can detect it in advance. 】

Nomo glanced in Jiji's direction, hesitated for a moment, and wrote a sentence in his notebook.

[Maybe... I should observe Jiji more. 】

After writing this sentence, Nomo closed his notebook and prepared to concentrate on watching acrobatics.

However, when he was concentrating on Gigi's performance, he was suddenly knocked twice on the back.

"Da da!"

Nomo turned his head and found that it was Pike who stretched out his tentacles.

This big octopus was lying on the ice behind Nuomo at this time, and even if it was lying on its huge body, it looked as big as a mountain of meat.

"What's the matter, Mr. Parker?" Nomo asked a little confused.

Hearing Nomo's question, Pike's body shook twice.

"Do you...do you have any questions?" Seeing Pike move, Nomo suddenly became nervous, worried that it would do some weird things to itself with its tentacles.

"Eat more vegetarian food, which is good for nutrition and health!" Just when Nomo was so nervous that he was about to tremble, Pike suddenly stretched out his tentacles and put a seaweed leaf into its hand.

"Ah?" Nuomo was dumbfounded, not understanding what Pike meant.

But Pike didn't explain to it, but turned his head and distributed seaweed to other fish present.

"You too! You can't just eat fish every day, eat more seaweed to be good for your health!"

All sea creatures, including Gigi, received the seaweed stuffed by Pike.

"This..." Looking at the seaweed in his hand, Nuomo had a dumbfounding expression on his face.

It picked up the seaweed and was about to stuff it into its mouth, but suddenly it felt an uneven spot on the seaweed.

After touching it carefully, I found that it was a string of handwriting.

[You don’t need to worry about Giji’s affairs, Zoro and I have already discovered the problem, so just leave it to us! 】
