I thought Delmare would immediately start singing the moment she saw them draw their weapons but surprisingly, she raised her hands as a sign of surrender first.
"Eh?! Wait, wait! What are you doing?! I'm just a passer-by!"
"Quickly! Freeze the water before she escapes! Mermaids would definitely sell for a lot here!!"
Well… If the drawing of weapons was not proof enough that they were up to no good, those words definitely confirmed it.
Delmare must have come to the same conclusion as well since she started singing without any warning right after that.
Taking a moment to listen to the song, I realised that it was supposed to be a love ballad about the two of us. She was basically professing her love for me and the promises of a love filled life we would have together.
The moment her melody reached the slavers, they quickly stopped whatever they were doing to stare at her. Even the ones that were running to her had slowed down to a stop to listen to her song.
