As Nagasumi and the others looked at Ren and the still hurting Gōzaburō, Maki started to make a fuss over the news.

"How can you say that this damn runt is one of us, he doesn't even transform when he gets in water," said Maki.

"That would be because of my side of the family," said Nagasumi's mom.

"What do you mean, honey?" asked her husband with a surprised expression.

"My grandfather was a Grindylows," said Nagasumi's mom with a worried look on her face.

"That makes Nagasumi 1/3 Grindylows," said his dad.

"That explains why there was only a few Grindylows cells in his blood," said Ren.

"I can't believe it, I have been a merperson this whole time," said Nagasumi with a stunned expression.

"There is one good thing that came from this," said Gōzaburō who was no longer in pain.

"What's that?" asked Sun.

"Since he's a merperson, he doesn't have to marry you," said Gōzaburō with an evil smile. Once again, Ren hit him under the table.

"I'm really getting sick of that," said Gōzaburō in another high voice.

"I'm still going to marry him, dad," said Sun with a determined expression as she quickly stood up.

"What?!" said Gōzaburō whose anger had made him forget the pain.

"I gave my word that I would marry him, and a mermaid never goes back on their word," said Sun as some sakura petals started to fall.

"So, she only wants to stay with me because of her honor," thought Nagasumi with a sad face.

"Plus, I really do like him," said Sun as she blushed ear to ear. This made Nagasumi happier, but Gōzaburō grew angrier.

"You little runt, I'm going to kill you!" said Gōzaburō as he stood up and drew the sword from his side. However, Nagasumi quickly stood up, grabbing the sword from Gōzaburō's hands and putting the blade to his throat.

"How did you do that?" asked Gōzaburō as he stared into Nagasumi's eyes, which were now bright yellow.

"I don't know," said Nagasumi as his eyes changed back to normal.

"Could learning of his heritage have caused his Grindylows side to come out?" thought Ren with a stunned expression.
