The Last Merman in the Galaxy Is a Couch Potato

Thanks to being the last mermaid in the stars, Xu Lanyu landed a job at the Federation Special Affairs Bureau, or Bureau of Special Affairs Management.

As its name suggests, the Bureau handles all the matters that other Federation departments can't.

Xu Lanyu was assigned to the Parallel World Crisis Response Department, a powerless branch caught up in jurisdictional disputes.

Then one day, the department received its most ridiculous assignment since it was founded: they were ordered to assassinate the "King" of the neighboring Sterland Empire.

Xu Lanyu looked at his colleague picking his nose and the director picking at his toenails, and figured the assignment had to be a bad joke.

But the next day, the secretary-general to the Federation's supreme commander personally "took an interest" in him and ordered him to carry out the mission.

Xu Lanyu: ?????

This was absurd!

Secretary-General: If you don't go, you're fired.

Xu Lanyu: ...Sob, okay, I'll go right away.

Arthur, King of the Sterland Empire.

He had read in a book that mermaids had the most exquisite voices in the world. When he heard that the last mermaid was in the Federation, he was seized by the desire to claim him.

Upon learning this, the Federation secretary-general showed admirable discretion and sent the mermaid over.

But the last mermaid's singing was completely off-key.

Arthur: ...

And he even tried to assassinate him.

Arthur: ...

Bound hand and foot and thrown into the pool in Arthur's palace, Xu Lanyu thought he was done for. But the handsome king said hoarsely, "Show me your tail, and I won't kill you."

How dare he humiliate him like that! Xu Lanyu's eyes reddened. "...Sob, I'll do it. Just don't kill me."
