“The Shapeshifter Academy.
Shapeshifter instead of Merfolk.
Milane (She/her).
Bendy Reppy.
Moni.
“Why, Won?”
Curiosity followed when Won absentmindedly approached and grabbed the notebook, with Lennen right behind.
The two gathered and stared intently at Bendy’s notebook.
The faded cover, like a martial arts secret manual, was enough to arouse suspicion.
A weak fox merfolk who sacrificed her body to protect her fellow beings.
Won and Lennen exchanged silent glances. There was no harm in checking.
Click. Two pairs of eyes lingered on the book Won opened. And as soon as they read the meticulous handwriting, silence filled the air.
[The White Tiger Merfolk has a somewhat negative personality.]
Could the White Tiger Merfolk inside the book be referring to themselves? Lennen frowned in deep thought.
“Is it a wrong sentence?”
“Definitely.”
Won agreed and marked an ‘x’ above the word ‘somewhat’ with their pen.
Hmm. Satisfied, Lennen gestured with their eyes to turn to the next chapter. By now, the identity of the book had become even more intriguing.
Won, with a suspicious look, handed the book to Lennen to turn to the next chapter.
[How to Tame Carnivorous Merfolk.
First, raise them from a young age!]
It’s not completely untrue.
“Won, is the Student Council President trying to tame us?”
“I don’t want to know.”
Regardless of the meaning, it was a sentence that made the carnivorous merfolk listener uneasy.
Tick, tock. The sound of the clock’s second hand filled the Student Council room.
Bendy, who was rummaging through the seemingly incomprehensible documents, cast a sidelong glance at the sofa.
Lennen sat there, reading a gossip magazine in a lounging position. Today, their mood seemed unusually somber, for some reason, and their slouching posture resembled that of a wanderer.
Observing the sofa that had become Lennen’s designated spot, Bendy cautiously rummaged through their backpack.
Just in case there would be another occasion where other students get into an argument…
It wouldn’t hurt to strengthen their friendship with their escort, Lennen.
Bendy’s eyes glinted sharply as they took out a paper envelope from their backpack.
“Lennen, or rather, Lennen.”
“Yes?”
“…Are you not hungry?”
With a timid suggestion, Lennen’s gaze shifted towards Bendy, who was staring at their bright red eyes.
For the cowardly Student Council President, it was a daring question.
Lennen, who had been absentmindedly brushing their silver hair, responded.
