Chapter 474: Servant, Please Watch Your Language!
"Wuaah—! We're saved!"
"I thought I was a goner!"
"..."
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Jashin-chan, Kyon-Kyon, and Ran-Ran crawled out of the shark's belly looking completely disheveled. Kyon-Kyon was even carrying the fainted Ecute in her arms.
"Your Highness!"
Atre hurriedly stepped forward, took Ecute from Kyon-Kyon's arms, carefully placed her on the sandy beach, and carefully inspected her to see if she had sustained any injuries.
"Jashin-chan!"
Medusa also came to Jashin-chan's side, her gaze filled with concern as she carefully looked her up and down, deeply afraid that she had been injured.
"Wuaah—! You guys stink so much!"
Minos stepped forward, preparing to offer some comfort to the few of them, but as soon as she got close, she couldn't help but pinch her nose and scold laughingly.
"It can't be helped! We were swallowed into a shark's belly, after all."
Covered from head to toe in sticky mucus and radiating a pungent, sour stench, Jashin-chan raised her hand to scratch the back of her head, revealing a carefree smile on her face.
"See, I told you there might be sharks in the sea."
The commotion here naturally alerted Yurine. She had been joking before, but that didn't stop her from using those words to tease Jashin-chan: "It's all because you swam too far, that's why you attracted a shark."
"What! How can you blame this on me?"
Jashin-chan glared over with a face full of defiance.
"Before going into the sea, Jashin-chan even boasted that if she encountered a shark, she would bring it back for me to use as an ingredient for shark fin soup. In the end, she herself got eaten by the shark and almost became shark poop."
Ryohei cut off the shark's pectoral fin and teased.
"Damn it—! You guy, Servant...!"
Actually tearing down my act!
Jashin-chan almost overheated. She glared at Ryohei with a mix of shame and anger, pointed at the shark on the side, and said: "Of course I could handle a normal shark, but no matter how you look at it, this guy is abnormal, right?"
"Where would you find a shark this big!"
"In terms of size, it is indeed a bit abnormal; it doesn't feel like a creature from Earth."
Jokes aside, Yurine agreed with Jashin-chan's statement. Pinching her chin, she sized up the euthanized shark.
Because Ryohei wanted to harvest the dorsal fin, pectoral fins, anal fin, and pelvic fins—
The shark wouldn't survive without these anyway, so he had Pekola euthanize it.
Killing, but not torturing!
—This was Ryohei's compassion!
"Thinking about it carefully, a size this large appearing nearby is also quite unreasonable."
Seeing that Ecute hadn't sustained any injuries and had merely fainted from fright, Poporon breathed a sigh of relief. She straightened her body and took over the conversation thoughtfully.
"Mn, indeed—!"
These words received unanimous agreement from everyone.
"Wuaah—! My body is smelly and sticky, so uncomfortable!"
Kyon-Kyon and Ran-Ran, who had gone into the sea to simply wash off the mucus on their bodies, returned to the shore and said helplessly: "My sister and I are going back to the room to properly wash up."
"I'll also take Her Highness back to wash up."
Atre picked up Ecute in a princess carry.
"Jashin-chan, you should go wash up too."
Persephone looked at her thoroughly disheveled beloved disciple and spoke gently.
"Mn."
Jashin-chan nodded.
She suddenly grabbed Medusa beside her, rubbed herself vigorously against her, and smiled maliciously: "Hehehe~, Medusa, I've gotten you dirty. Come back and take a bath with me!"
"Wuu—! Jashin-chan, you're going too far!"
The victim, Medusa, let out a small beast-like wail.
"Wuaah—!"
Seeing this scene, Minos and the others, who had originally surrounded Jashin-chan, immediately shrieked and scattered, looking at Jashin-chan warily, deeply afraid she would do the same to them and rub a stench all over them.
"You're truly scum!"
Ryohei, who was cutting the dorsal fin, couldn't help but look over and roast.
"Servant, please watch your language!"
Jashin-chan, who had entered the invincible state of "a mop dipped in shit makes one Lu Bu reborn" (a meme meaning untouchable due to grossness), turned around, raised her hand, and pointed arrogantly at Ryohei.
"Believe it or not, I'll whack you!"
Ryohei wanted to teach her a lesson just looking at that face of hers. He pretentiously raised the professional filleting knife in his hand.
"Servant, you can't take a joke!"
Jashin-chan dropped a sentence, turned around, and scurried away.
Medusa looked at her retreating figure, sighed helplessly, said, "I'm going to wash up too," and then strode her snow-white, slender, beautiful legs to follow...
"..."
Although the "thrilling" incident of a shark attack had occurred, everyone's enthusiasm wasn't much affected. They continued playing as they should, at most paying a little more attention to their surroundings.
"Do you not want this meat?"
Seeing Ryohei only keeping the dorsal fin, pectoral fins, anal fin, and pelvic fins, and asking her to deal with the remaining fish corpse, Pekola tilted her head and asked doubtfully.
"Mn, sharks excrete a portion of their urea through their skin, so the meat quality isn't good. It's not recommended for consumption."
Ryohei put the cut-off fins into his storage space and casually explained.
"Oh."
Pekola responded.
The next second, the verdant green vines that had originally bound the shark gathered and twisted with a whoosh, transforming into a thick, sturdy giant vine. A massive man-eating flower bloomed at the top of the vine.
It swallowed the giant shark's carcass in one bite. Immediately after, the giant vine, along with the man-eating flower, turned into fragmented cyan light spots and dissipated into the sea breeze.
This method of disposal caused Ryohei, Yurine, and the others to involuntarily reveal surprised expressions.
Just at this moment—
"Oho—! I'm back!"
Elma, having transformed into her true form, returned with a huge pile of seafood. Upon reaching the sandy beach, she transformed back into her human form and asked casually: "Did anything happen just now?"
"Mmm..."
Ryohei looked at the massive pile of seafood she brought back and joked: "A shark delivered some precious ingredients."
"Really? Then it was quite nice of it!"
Elma blurted out without even thinking.
"Pfft—!"
Yurine beside them instantly spat with laughter. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, her shoulders shaking with laughter: "Elma, you truly have a way with words. You have a talent for being a comedian!"
"Thank you for the recognition!"
Elma placed her left hand on the outside of her thigh, rested her right hand on her chest, and bowed to Yurine very gentlemanly.
Ryohei's gaze was unconsciously drawn to her cleavage, but he immediately looked away, turned his body, and waved to Yusa, who was eating fruit under a parasol not far away:
"Yusa, come help."
It was still early to prepare lunch, but the seafood Elma brought back could be prepped in advance.
"Okay." Hearing Ryohei's call, Yusa immediately raised her eyes to look at him, a gentle smile blooming on her face, and strode her snow-white, plump long legs over...
