The Merman, My Man
This is a good chance for me to show myself, which is why I’m really thrilled.
I couldn’t help clenching on my pen as I looked outside the window, where a gigantic warship was berthed at the harbor. Sacre bleu, it had to be the most imposing warship I had ever seen—it was painted in black for camouflage in night battles, whereas its hull was of a sleek design. With the towering bridge on its bow, it looked just like a horned beast sailing through the seas.
The thought of sailing in that warship as it crashed through the waves to the merpeople’s territory excited me.
