A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 6] Chapter 4

[Vol. 6] Chapter 4: Gathering Seafood

Ifia didn’t know how to explain, she didn’t like sharks among the mermaids.

Of course, she didn’t like any other species either. She was stubborn. She just liked that one demon… Ahem, not mentioning any names, definitely not Amelia!

“Paji, I solemnly declare here that I don’t like Saina. Please don’t try to play matchmaker for me. It’ll be disastrous!”

“Huh?”

Ifia waved her hands repeatedly to refuse. But her words puzzled Paji. His eagle face was full of confusion, not understanding why playing matchmaker would result in a disaster for the fish?

Saina, that bold fellow, was incredibly powerful!

At least within this ‘forbidden land,’ she ranked in the top ten! If she could come ashore, her ranking would rise even higher.

With such a formidable mermaid, Ifia actually didn’t like her? Then what kind of partner did she like?

Faced with Paji’s confusion, Ifia merely forced a smile and didn’t offer any explanation. Not to mention Saina, even if all the special creatures in the ‘forbidden land’ were tied together, they couldn’t match up to Amelia…

If Saina dares to challenge Amelia, she could be considered extremely bold!

As for why Ifia didn’t say…

Just because she felt that during her time in the ‘forbidden land,’ it was better not to mention Amelia, just like now, being honest and quietly nurturing her fetus. Everything could wait until after giving birth to the demon babies!

After all, as the old saying goes, loose lips sink ships.

Demons are no different. If she talked too much, what if Amelia really showed up at her doorstep… Ifia couldn’t help but shiver at the thought, then quickly shook her head to dispel the scary idea.

Paji was a simple-minded eagle beast who wanted to unravel any doubts in his mind, but his brother, Parlin, was much more composed. Seeing Paji still wanting to ask questions, he immediately lifted his wings and gave Paji a few flaps to scare him off.

Once he frightened his brother, Parlin turned to Ifia and said gently, “Ifia, go gather seafood!”

Hearing this, Ifia nodded, deciding to give Parlin some special treatment when she returned.

As for Paji…

Heh, she was going to make Paji a stinky grass salad to teach him not to tease her!

Ifia didn’t go gathering seafood every day. Instead, she summoned the eagle beasts to the seaside when the ingredients were running low or when she was feeling particularly happy or sad. She could find some good stuff!

For example, there are live hedgehog phosphor shrimps, covered all over with spikes, but they’re particularly delicious!

Not only do the special creatures like them, Ifia also loves them.

There are also green shell giant crabs, which are truly delicious when steamed!

Of course, with tasty ingredients, there are also some that are hard to accept… like eyeball sea urchins, thin intestine blue seaweed, camouflage monster clams, and so on. In short, there are many strange things.

The first time Ifia went gathering seafood, she was almost scared out of her wits.

The reason was simple, it was because of those camouflage monster clams. Although they are mollusks, their appearance resembles human heads… So, heads floating on the surface of the sea. It’s truly nightmare-inducing.

Fortunately, Ifia has decent tolerance. After seeing them for a while, she got used to it. After all, the camouflage monster clams can’t come ashore, they just float on the sea surface.

They can float all they want, they can’t bite her anyway… However, Ifia refuses to purchase ingredients from camouflage monster clams, disappointing many special creatures who like them.

“Hey hey! Look at this, what’s this~”

Ifia exclaimed as soon as she arrived, immediately spotting several stranded hedgehog phosphor shrimps on the beach, struggling and flapping non-stop.

Their sharp spikes created numerous small pits on the sand, but they couldn’t manage to return to the sea. Under the sunlight, their shrimp shells seemed almost transparent, making Ifia’s mouth water just looking at them.

Shrimp meat could be used for so many dishes!

Skillfully lifting a stone and giving it a few smacks, Ifia happily smashed the heads of several hedgehog phosphor shrimps, then grabbed them by their spikes and tossed them into her basket.

Because of her frequent visits, Ifia had hidden several baskets here for such occasions.

This time, it was a great start as soon as she arrived, making Ifia eager to get started. Today, she was going to gather with gusto!

With determined words in her heart, Ifia began to pick and choose on the beach. The rising tide brought in a lot of seafood, all strange and peculiar, challenging her understanding of species.

However, Ifia only picked seafood that she could eat. Every time she gathered seafood, it was for herself.

As for the diners…

The restaurant can purchase ingredients. There’s no need for her to work so hard gathering seafood, huh~

“Hmm, this one’s good, I’ll keep it, and that one…”

As Ifia gradually immersed herself in the joy of gathering seafood, she unknowingly drifted further away from the eagle beasts.

This beach wasn’t particularly safe, but Ifia had the system to remind her, so she wasn’t worried about being attacked by dangerous sea creatures.

However, just as she was about to finish her thoughts, the system’s alert immediately sounded.

[System alert: Mermaid (shark) detected. Please host, be on high alert!]

Ifia: ……

To be honest, she felt like encountering a real shark attack would be better than meeting Saina.

She didn’t know why.

During a previous chance encounter while gathering seafood, Ifia had run into Saina.

Then, Saina immediately professed her love at first sight to Ifia, hoping they could become partners…

She looked crazy, which scared Ifia so much that she didn’t come to the beach for almost a month, afraid of being targeted.

Later, Ifia thought that after a month, even if Saina was infatuated, she wouldn’t stay at the beach. But obviously, Ifia was too young.

When she came to gather seafood again, she encountered this unavoidable bad luck again! Just like this time.

They met again.

Compared to the previous times when Ifia was nervous and anxious, this time she was calm.

Perhaps she knew that Saina wouldn’t harm her, or maybe she had just watched the real-time broadcast from the system.

Compared to the Demon Amelia, the enthusiastic pursuer Saina was just a little sister!

Suddenly, she wasn’t afraid anymore.

“Ifia, you finally came! I missed you so much. Sweetheart, have you missed me? You’re getting more and more beautiful. If I could have you, I would be so happy.”

Although Saina belonged to the shark branch of the mermaids, she perfectly inherited the beauty of the mermaid clan.

Her long, ash-blue hair was scattered behind her, and her crystal-blue eyes blinked as she looked over. Her delicate and beautiful appearance was like a blooming flower.

She was so stunning that people couldn’t take their eyes off her. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, it left people speechless, especially Ifia, who found it extremely headache-inducing.

“Saina, who taught you to speak like this again? It’s just terrible. Don’t hide behind such a pretty face and say such greasy words.”

Ifia was truly at a loss for words. Originally, as a mermaid living in the sea, Saina had little contact with humans.

Although she had the gift of language and could speak human language, it was limited to a few short words.

Since becoming infatuated with Ifia, she had been crazily studying.

But… listening to her was as embarrassing as a cat with its tongue stuck to a frozen pole.
