All of them stand in awe in front of Mermaid Cafe. It was beautifully designed and attractive, making it sort of stand out due to the other buildings' common architecture. Without waiting much longer, Narmi led them into the cafe, while their tail report on their location to Hody Jones.
Inside the cafe, all the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, with pretty decorations placed all over the interior. Mermaids can also been seen at this cafe. With all these things presence, it wasn't weird that this cafe were very popular.
After they went in, all of them choose a place and took their seats. Not long after, a mermaid waitress came and asked them for their orders. All of them chose their own servings and gave their orders to the waitress. After that, she went away to pass on their orders.
It wasn't a long wait for the servings that had been ordered to came. But instead of the waitress, the one who came was another person. She is a large mermaid with dark blue tail on lower half of body.
It wasn't hard for Narmi to guess who she is. This is the proprietor of the Mermaid Cafe, Madam Shyarly. The other mermaid waitress was in shock seeing her serve Narmi's group, as she rarely had done it, if not never.
They all wore a confused expression on their face. But then, some of them recover from confusion and started to think about the prediction that she had made before. They thought that perhaps the group that she serve is the one she meant.
After she had served all of their food, Narmi called out to her.
"I didn't expect the proprietor of the famous Mermaid Cafe to serve us."
Shyarly who had just intended to walked away from there, was stopped in her place. Her expression showed she didn't expect Narmi to know her. Although she was relatively famous around the area, but Narmi just came on the island. He probably couldn't know her appearance.
Recovering her composure, she then turned her face to Narmi's group.
"And here I also didn't expect that I would be recognized by the Emperor of the Sea."
The customers all around stunned when they heard her remark. To think they would be sitting in a near proximity with the Emperor of the Sea. Despite the fact that they weren't really knowledgeable about the surface, they still knew about the existence such as the Emperor and the likes. As such, all the customers present there wish to walk out from the cafe.
"Well, the waitress there all wore a shocked expressions on their face. It wasn't that hard to guess." Narmi replied
"I see. So, may I know to what do I owe the honor of having you and your crew come to my cafe?"
"Well, we just came for the foods and beverages served here. I heard about this place was among the famous in this island. Besides, I also heard that the proprietor is a famous fortune-teller. So, I came with the intention to make an acquaintance."
"Indeed, what you said is true. If it is an acquaintance that you seek, I will be very much obliged to become one. There are not many chances that I get to become an acquaintance with an Emperor of the Sea."
"Then, come join us in this table. We can have some conversations among us."
Knowing that Narmi bore no ill will towards the cafe or her, she then joined the group. Although she display a strong front, inside she still had some fear as the one she faced right now is an Emperor and his crew. The strength of the Fishman Island's residence isn't going to be enough to stop them.
But then, after she joined the group, she knew that all her information of them was wrong. The crew members all wasn't like what the public paint them. Although she noticed there are some among the members that didn't quite blend in, it didn't bother her one bit as the others treated her comfortably.
Especially when she was having conversations with Narmi, she noticed that he exuded a kind of aura around him. Whenever he spoke, she felt that aura become stronger. It was as if he wasn't a pirate at all. Never had she have an enjoyable conversations as this one with the group.
She really enjoyed being in this group, and she also hoped that the time spent with them will never end. But as if fate opposed her, a certain man shouted loudly from outside of her cafe.
"Shyarly, I knew there was a group of humans inside your cafe! Bring them out right now! I'm gonna slaughter them all here, proving to you that your prediction of the future is wrong!"
Hey guys sorry for late chapter again. I didn't have any idea on what to wrote on Mermaid Cafe. Besides, I got some idea to wrote an original novel and that's why I didn't post any chapter.
Although before this I had tried to write an original one, but that was abandoned as I didn't feel like it was good enough.
That's why I'm trying to write on a new original novel this time around as the idea come flooding in my mind.
But, I'm not posting it yet right now.
Thanks for reading and enjoy.
