```html1359【Mermaid vs Kid】Vote for monthly ticket ヽ(〃?〃)?

Kid continued on his own with the previous topic: "I remember Grandpa Terai brought a coat in the luggage today, it was prepared for me in case I fell into the water..."```
He searched for a moment and actually found one from the travel bag on the ship.
He was about to hand it to the lifesaving en-yao, but when he saw the huge wings behind the Fog Dog, Kidd paused and said, "..." It seems like it won't fit.
```htmlThinking about it, he couldn't help but become curious, his gaze falling on the intricate and solemn robes of the Mist Dog: "Is this outfit custom-made? Or is it like the monsters on TV, just appearing out of nowhere?"```
中二少年的好奇心实在太强了，身为一名成熟的灵媒师，江夏不想搭理。
比起这个，他现在其实更加在意另外一件事。
Jiangxia shifted his attention back from the historical examination of soldiers and looked at Kidd's empty hands, suddenly feeling uneasy. "What about the thing you brought out?"
"..." Kidd froze for a moment, then pointed to the sky with his hand. "Uh, I didn't grip it securely and the 'Memory Egg' fell into the water just now."
As soon as the words were spoken, a slight chill seemed to emanate from the surroundings, and the gaze of the Misty-Eyed Dog became more eerie.
Kid recalled the astonishing slap that the Misty-Eyed Dog had just delivered: "..." No, did I not catch it properly? Is it just my problem?
不过转念一想雾天狗也是为了帮他躲子弹，可能是妖怪兄紧急时刻忘了控制力度……
这么一想，基德不由心虚起来，叹了一口气，滴咕道：“也不知道那么高掉下来，摔坏了没有——不过我看那个盒子还挺高科技的，保护性应该很强，又是掉在了水里，或许还有救。我让寺井爷爷帮忙捞一捞。”
顿了顿，他又谨慎补充道：“不过万一有别人看见我落在了河里，警察或许会来捞人或者找回忆之卵。那样一来，可能没法成功打捞上来。”
Jiang Xia looked at this unreliable Thief. Suddenly, he noticed something from the corner of his eye:
The Mermaid Ghost who had just returned seemed to realize it was her turn again upon hearing this, swaying her tail proudly and floating past Jiang Xia.
She noticed that Jiangxia didn't show much reaction. Turning her head back, she floated once again. This time, while passing directly in front of Jiangxia, the mermaid flipped her hair with a splashing sound, trying hard to show her presence.
“……” Although she knew that she just wanted to play in the river on the public expense, we do need this swimming champion now.
Jiangxia quietly scattered some puppet clay, letting them reshape in the water, and then threw in the mermaid ghost embryo.
With the increased consumption of energy cores, the strength of the ghosts has been enhanced. Jiangxia no longer needs to operate all the puppets herself, as the ghosts can now operate them on their own.
In the dark river, a mermaid appeared out of nowhere and quickly surfaced. Then she quietly dived into the water and swam straight towards the energy core's scent.
……
Jiangxia interrupted Kid who was about to contact Saguru Hakuba: "No need, I'll call my friend to retrieve it."
Kid was taken aback and looked at the vast expanse of water and the endless river he couldn't see the bottom of. It seemed that Foghound misunderstood his "friend": "Even though Jiangxia has a good relationship with the police, he can't command them to help us retrieve stolen goods. He looks like a good partner of justice to those people, but he won't be able to help us."
雾天狗看了他一眼，似乎在疑惑这跟“江夏”有什么关系。
片刻后，他补充道：“别的朋友。”
基德：“……？”
居然还有别的朋友？
你看上去不是那种擅长社交的妖怪啊！……难道又是在那个马戏团里交到的？那到底是个什么团，他也想去看看……
Just as he was thinking, there came a knocking on the side of the boat.
Kidd was startled and looked over to see someone seemingly knocking on the boat from outside.
...Could there be someone in the river?
基德起初担心是什么落水的路人，但很快就又觉得不对。
——深夜在河里飘着的，能是什么正经人。
比起“人”……
He quickly remembered the "friend" that the Foggy Dog had mentioned, and connected it with the characteristic of "monster". A picture quickly appeared in his mind.
- A bald kappa with green skin all over, a bird's beak, and a plate on his head, holding a "memory egg" just caught, intended to hand it over to the Foggy Dog.
The instinctive fear of unknown creatures and the curiosity about monsters briefly battled in the heart of the phantom thief, and soon the winner was clear.
Kaito: "..." The Kaito Kid's yokai friend, the Yatagarasu, was still standing by his side, and he would surely give him some leeway...
With this thought in mind, curiosity eventually prevailed and he quickly peeked his head out to take a look outside.
Then he was stunned.
--- It was completely different from the strange kappa he had imagined, there was actually a person in the water.
而且看上去是一个很漂亮的女人。
女人浮在水面，长发缱绻，抬头看过来的时候，她晶莹的眼底倒映着远处的灯光，结合过于精致的五官，简直像童话里的生物。
She caught sight of Kid poking his head out and looked him over for a moment. For some reason, her expression softened a little, and she gave him a small, friendly smile.
“！”
Kid couldn't help but blush at her gaze and automatically lifted a hand to tidy up his hair which had been messed up by the wind earlier - why didn't the Misthounds mention that his friend was such a pretty lady! He had experienced too many surprises tonight and his appearance was really not at his best. If only he had known…
基德嗖一下缩回脑袋，在江夏疑惑的目光中，飞速梳理出一个帅气的发型。
然后重新探出了头。
江夏看着这一幕，忽然后知后觉地想到了一件事。
- He remembers that Kidd seemed to be very afraid of fish. Whether it's raw or cooked, big or small, he feels disgusted about all of them.
Even if there's a beautifully colored braised fish on the dinner table in front of Kidd, he'll have no appetite and only feel as if a huge cockroach is lying in his plate. And if someone throws a fish at him, then Kidd will be like being splashed with bugs, and his proud expression control ability will collapse.
```htmlJiang Xia: "..." Mermaids... seems like half of them are fish?
……
Next to him, Kidd knew nothing about the mysterious creatures in the water.
After poking his head out again, he politely extended his hand to the friend of the monster who helped retrieve the "Egg of Memories," saying, "Thank you, I'll pull you up."```
Jiangxia wanted to speak but stopped: "Um..."
However, Kid and the mermaid were much more agile than he had imagined.
Before he could say anything, the mermaid happily took the power core on the ship. The next moment, Kid exerted a little force, and the mermaid splashed out of the water.
