So now he had to help a (hot) merwoman who came out of nowhere with some giant snake. Good stuff. Now she wants him and these people around him to jump into a ruined temple. Transform into merpeople, she says. Saving guardians, she says. Maruki, she says.

Magic, she says.

Transfor-f---ing-mation, she says.

"...What."

Ryuu remained still, his mind blanking out. At this point, he knew he had the right to be surprised, but he just could not help but feel his brain deteriorating at all the new information rushing into his brain at once. This merwoman was too trusting of people.

[i]But then again, if you're that hot, I bet there's not much you could fear,[/i] Ryuu thought with a mix of grumpiness and sincerity.

Needless to say, he remained silent while keeping his gaze on the skies. He did not want to suddenly exhibit his ability to blast off like a blood-fueled rocket just by looking at something pretty.
