Mermaid Effect 《人鱼效应》 Chinese BL Translation by: 黑猫白袜子

Chapter 29

Rand frantically shut his eyes and carelessly shoved his hands in front of himself— to put it nicely, this scene was simply straight out of hell— he only touched some slippery things, maybe his fingernails had cut into something, but he did not react.

Until another loud and clear water splash sounded, Munster fell back into the bathtub. Rand casually wiped his face with the shower curtain, he lowered his head with an ashen complexion and saw Munster was scurrying about under the clear water of the bathtub— a few seconds later, it ran into the bathtub wall headfirst and curled up there. It seemed to be attempting to bury itself under the water.

If this was on the real seafloor, his actions may be able to be reluctantly regarded as "camouflage", but for God's sake— this is in Rand's fucking bathtub!

Rand was almost unable to hold back the anger in his mind, he was simply angered to the brink of insanity, after all, he never thought that there would be a day where he would go so far as to be so made such a fool out of by a fish (that perhaps was not even a fish)!

Moreover, it was even twice.

He took in a deep breath of air, gnashing his teeth, and even began to think about the possibility of ridding it from his home. But he then saw a wisp of blue rising in the clear water.

Oh, wait...

Rand frowned. He recalled that this little monster's blood was blue and just now he... seemed to have cut something open?

Looking down, Rand found that his fingernails also had a trace of an already dried blue. He could not help stretching his bottom lip taut, realizing that he might have hurt Munster just now.

He stood there, a little stupidly and lifeless for a bit and then he felt that he may not be able to turn a blind eye to Munster's injury. So he had no choice but to build up the courage to endure his fright and reach into the water.

"Hey, you damn little guy, I don't want to hurt you, so can you calm down too?"

He couldn't help talking to it, and his face that had been previously slapped by its tail still dully ached.

Oh, God, what is it that he 's done to end up where he is now? Rand says in his heart, swearing that he 'll never, ever rescue any fish that seems to be of unknown origin again... or any kind of strange animal.

He doesn't know if Rand's self-mumbling had an impact. Munster did not show panic this time, although Rand had to expend a little effort when he took his head from that corner (can someone tell him why a fish is so strong?!).

Rand then found that one of the antennae on Munster's head had fallen off, and the other one didn't look very good either— it was crooked to one side, half of it was separated from the base and the other half was connected by a thin slip of skin.

From the place where the antennae came off, blue blood slowly seeped out.

"Damn."

Rand cursed in a low voice.

He didn't know what the antennae meant to this weird creature, but it was evident that it was truly hurt by his actions prior to this.

Rand tried to touch the base of Munster's antenna with the layer of skin still attached to them, it was soft to the touch... and Munster cried out immediately.

It violently twisted its body, escaped from Rand's hand, and proceeded to go headfirst into the corner of the bathtub.

Rand was really unsure whether those two small wounds should be allowed to be left alone... and... he was really awfully reluctant to have his bathtub soaked with unknown blood from an unknown creature.
