Mermaid By the Shore Chapter 23

Wednesday, June 22, 1994, sunny.

When you stay in the dark for a long time, your sense of smell and hearing will become particularly sharp. I used to be like this. And Mana is like this now.

Now, if I throw food next to her, she will crawl over with her nose twitching and gobble it up. But she stinks now, and I wonder if her nose is as sensitive to the smell of her own body.

One thing she didn't lie about was that she really had a lot of money on her, which was our source of living for the past few days.

I didn't dare stay in one place for too long. And now I can guess why Vincent regarded that place as a "forbidden zone". So we had to change several branch pipes to hide in a day. Every time I blindfolded Mana and took her to another place, she was scared to death, fearing that I would kill her or leave her alone here.
