The mermaid lady, who inadvertently did something good due to a twist of fate, was feeling very pleased with herself at the moment.
Upon realizing she was innocent, she changed her story on the spot.
She flatly denied accidentally killing that ugly sea slug, instead claiming she did it on purpose after realizing he was a villain.
Yes, it wasn't an accident or coincidence; it was all my meticulous design!
As for her attempt to revise her testimony, Herbert simply nodded silently in agreement—oh yes, oh sure, oh exactly, just as you said...
As long as she's happy.
No one would come to ask the truth anyway; she could claim whatever she wanted.
After all, fooling a buddy doesn't matter; as long as the buddy cooperates with the act, just make sure you don't fool yourself.
No matter how much Herbert inwardly complained and mocked, Fremay was genuinely happy at this moment.
Although she did this trivial good deed unconsciously, it was of great significance to her.
