The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies
Chapter 411: The Cat’s Philosophical Question
The Sea Mystery Aquarium. Even though it wasn’t a holiday, as the Eastern Capital was a famous economic and tourist city, it was always bustling with visitors. If Adele wasn’t so accustomed to and fond of the comfort of staying at home, the Eastern Capital had many attractions and places like the aquarium waiting for her to explore.
The three of them got out of the ride-hailing car, and the platform automatically deducted the fare from Adele’s bank card, saving them the trouble of scanning the driver’s QR code. Then, they walked towards the entrance hall of The Sea Mystery Aquarium.
There, Adele retrieved the three tickets she had booked online. Presenting them to the ticket inspector at the entrance, they smoothly entered the aquarium.
“We’re lucky; we can see the mermaid show today!” Adele exclaimed, looking at the notice board displayed at the entrance. It depicted a beautiful mermaid gracefully swimming in a magnificent underwater world, full of mystery and fantasy.
The advertisement also used catchy phrases like “once a year” and “the arrival of the sea princess.”
Although Adele guessed that the organizers of The Sea Mystery Aquarium had probably invited some famous underwater synchronized swimmers or even dancers, having them wear artificial mermaid tails and perform a dance with fish in a huge tank.
Before her transmigration, Adele had seen similar performances, so she remembered them vividly. Not to mention, the young women playing the “mermaids” were all very sexy~ wearing bikinis that made people blush. It was a type of fanservice that the public enjoyed.
Xiao Ai smiled, but her happiness didn’t seem related to seeing the mermaid show. It was because her mother was happy; therefore, Xiao Ai couldn’t help but feel happy too.
As for First Snow, she looked utterly perplexed. Her cat ears twitched back and forth. A passing girl noticed and exclaimed to her companion, “Wow, where did she get those cat ear headbands? They’re so cute~ They even move on their own!”
“I want to buy them too!”
Indeed, to conceal First Snow’s cat-girl features, Adele had given her a suitable headband. As for the cat tail, it wasn’t a big problem, because First Snow could control her tail, wrapping it around her snow-white thigh. The only inconvenience was that the tip of the little cat-girl’s tail would occasionally twitch involuntarily, touching a sensitive spot and causing her entire body to fluff up.
“Alright, alright, we’ll buy them. But as a price, I also want to buy a matching cat tail~” The passing girl’s companion joked flirtatiously.
“A cat tail? Wouldn’t that make me... you naughty thing!” the girl said, blushing, as if remembering something, and quickly ran away. Her male companion hurried after her.
It’s worth mentioning that because the three of them—Adele, Xiao Ai, and First Snow—were so strikingly beautiful, especially Adele and Xiao Ai, the “sisters” in the eyes of passersby, they attracted countless gazes. Fortunately, most of the girls were of the “mind your own business” type, unaffected by the stares of others.
“First Snow, what are you thinking~” Adele noticed the little cat-girl’s confusion and naturally reached out to stroke her fluffy cat ears. “Could it be you suspect there are real mermaids among the performers?”
The girl teased the little cat-girl. Because if First Snow really suspected such a thing, it would be incredibly adorably naive.
Unexpectedly, First Snow shook her head and said, “First Snow doesn’t think so meow.”
“First Snow is just thinking, if I really encountered a mermaid in this world...”
“Could First Snow eat her fish tail meow?”
“Isn’t it natural for cats to eat fish meow?”
“But she also has a human part meow...”
It seemed that Headmistress Winona had taught First Snow not to harm humans, making it one of First Snow’s behavioral principles. But this conflicted with the rule that “it’s natural for cats to eat fish.”
Adele raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised. “Your question... is quite philosophical!”
After all, mermaids possessed both “human traits” and “fish traits,” making them unique beings. People couldn’t consider them entirely human, nor could they treat them as mere fish, or even food. So, don’t just assume that cats are all about eating, sleeping, and partying at night while roaming the streets during the day. Occasionally, they ponder quite interesting questions!
As for the answer to this question, Adele was straightforward. “Silly goose, don’t think about that!”
“Just tell me, do you like yellow croaker?”
First Snow’s eyes lit up. “I like it meow!”
“Then steamed bass, sweet and sour mandarin fish, fish head with chopped chili, boiled fish, grilled fish... all kinds of fish! Do you like them!”
“I like them meow!!”
“If you like them, why are we worrying about mermaids? Even if we were to eat them, it wouldn’t be in that way!”
First Snow was suddenly enlightened. Sister Adele was right meow! There were so many fish in the world, so many delicious things, why was she fixated on mermaids? Truly, “listening to your words is better than studying for ten years meow!”
“Hehe, after watching the mermaid show, I’ll treat you to an all-fish feast.”
“Xiao Ai also likes to eat fish, right~”
“Mm.” Xiao Ai nodded.
She did like to eat fish. But her favorite was something she couldn’t openly “eat” right now...
After resolving First Snow’s “mermaid problem,” the three of them naturally followed the crowd into the aquarium’s first exhibit area, the tropical zone. It’s worth mentioning that The Sea # Nоvеlight # Mystery Aquarium was divided into several zones based on region and climate. Generally, it would take an ordinary person an entire afternoon to explore it thoroughly.
Of course, that was with careful observation. If one were to rush through, merely “increasing their step count on WeChat,” it would be a quick tour.
Adele planned to visit a few specific zones, such as the cold-water zone with seal performances, the polar zone with cute penguins and polar bears, and The Sea Mystery Aquarium’s most famous underwater tunnel, over a hundred meters long, immersing visitors in a genuine underwater world surrounded by colorful, vibrant fish.
First Snow planned to note down some interesting fish. When she returned to the academy, she would tell Xiao Wei, and Xiao Wei would buy them for her to eat~
As one of the twelve Legendary Mages of the Magical World, Winona indeed had the privilege and financial means to do so.
And if they were delicious, First Snow would also bring them for Sister Adele to eat. This act of using Winona’s money to support other women was hard to ignore. One might even think of Headmistress Winona in a certain, not-so-flattering way... Ahem!
