Chapter 707: The mermaid that can vibrate

Above the Mermaid Waterfall.

Ebihara Sumi was clutching a numbered tag tightly.

Her face was filled with excitement!

She had a feeling of disbelief.

Just before the drawing ceremony began, Shimabukuro Kimie had actually taken the initiative to find her and made a promise.

As long as she could draw a Dugong Arrow, she could use it to exchange for the specific location of the mermaid's grave!

Hearing this news, Ebihara Sumi was naturally extremely excited!

She was one of the culprits of that fire back then, and she was the one who lit the fire after watching the Longevity Hag enter the shrine warehouse!

As a result, the next day, she saw the Longevity Hag appear before everyone as usual, completely unharmed!

From that moment on, Ebihara Sumi, like the other two, completely believed in the mermaid legend!

Especially after learning later that the Longevity Hag had taken a strange skeleton without a lower body out of the warehouse and secretly buried it in an unknown place.

She became even more convinced that it was the mermaid skeleton that could make people live forever!

Thinking that she was about to obtain the mermaid skeleton and the power of immortality, Ebihara Sumi could not suppress the excitement in her heart.

Immersed in excitement, she didn't notice the figure slowly approaching.

Behind Ebihara Sumi, Shimabukuro Kimie walked over silently.

She took off her coat, revealing her fair body, and then put the prepared rope around Ebihara Sumi's neck.

Feeling the threat of suffocation, Ebihara Sumi immediately woke up!

Her hands subconsciously grabbed the rope on her neck, struggling desperately, and the numbered tag in her hand fell to the ground!

Shimabukuro Kimie pulled her and jumped into the water.

Splash.

A huge fish tail rose from the water, slapping the surface.

Akaso Kaze, who was watching, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Shimabukuro Kimie's legs had actually turned into a fish tail!

Is she a mermaid?!

After growing the fish tail, Shimabukuro Kimie moved freely in the water.

She choked Ebihara Sumi's neck tightly and pressed her into the water.

Ebihara Sumi, however, showed a crazy expression.

She didn't care about the rope on her neck, greedily scratching at Ebihara Sumi's fish tail, and even opened her mouth to bite it hard.

However, Shimabukuro Kimie's fish tail was very hard, and this bite only tore off a few fine fish scales.

In this madness, Ebihara Sumi gradually lost her strength and finally stopped moving altogether!

Shimabukuro Kimie pulled out a wooden stake by the river, put the noose on it around Ebihara Sumi's neck, and then dragged her to the middle of the river, letting her drift downstream.

Creating the illusion that Ebihara Sumi accidentally fell into the water and was strangled by the fixed rope while struggling!

After doing all this, Shimabukuro Kimie swam to the shore, dragging her fish tail with her slender arms, and climbed onto the shore with difficulty.

She lay on the shore, lifting her fish tail.

The huge fish tail began to shake as if it were plugged into electricity.

During this shaking, the fish tail gradually separated, and finally magically turned back into two long, slender, fair legs.

Watching this scene, Akaso Kaze fell into deep thought.

A living mermaid, and a beautiful one at that.

How should I deal with her?

Should I slice her, braise her, or something else?

Truly an exciting choice.

One hour later, under the Mermaid Waterfall.

Rushing water fell from the sky, landing in the pool and splashing countless water droplets.

In front of the waterfall, the ceremony for awarding the Dugong Arrow was about to begin.

The villagers on the island had already set up a simple ceremonial site, with two bonfire racks in the middle, and bright firelight illuminating the surroundings.

Beside the ceremonial site, Shimabukuro Kimie was still dressed as a shrine maiden, standing with several shrine maidens from the shrine, confirming the Dugong Arrows.

The villagers held torches, maintaining order at the scene.

In the front row of the crowd, Conan curled his lips.

"Come to think of it, this Dugong Festival is actually quite boring. If it weren't for waiting for Ms. Kimie to take us to Ms. Saori's house, I'd really want to go back to the inn, take a bath, and get some rest early."

Hattori Heiji pointed to the ceremonial site in front of the waterfall and said: "Wait a little longer, Ms. Kimie has appeared, and the Dugong Arrow award is about to begin."

At the same time, Shimabukuro Kimie, standing in front of the ceremonial site, said:

"Welcome everyone to the Mermaid Waterfall to witness our awarding of the Dugong Arrow! Next, we invite those who drew the Dugong Arrow to come forward to receive it!"

Hattori Heiji curled his lips, took his numbered tag, squeezed through the hemp rope used for isolation, and walked to Shimabukuro Kimie.

Immediately after, Kuroe Naoko and a drunkard holding a wine bottle also walked up.

Conan was stunned when he saw the drunkard, then muttered in surprise: "Strange, who is that man? Did he also draw a Dugong Arrow? Could I have seen wrong just now?"

Conan turned his head to look around.

It seems Ms. Sumi isn't here.

Shimabukuro Kimie awarded the Dugong Arrows to the three, and then said: "Now, please accept the Light of Paradise, you three winners of the Dugong Arrow!"

At the same time, the villagers setting off fireworks lit them, and a string of fireworks flew into the sky, exploding in the night sky, also illuminating the pitch-black waterfall.

At this moment, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and the people nearby were all stunned.

"Who, who is that?"

"How is that possible? Someone is hanging in the waterfall!"
