Siren! Dazai POV

Chuuya would consider himself to be an incredibly good sailor. Hell, even a good pirate. He was great at pillaging, amassing treasure.. the usual things. However, his crew had recently been sent out to sea due to an order. An order from the king, no less. The king had requested that they bring him a siren. Something about experimentation.. Chuuya hadn’t been paying attention, he was just set on it the moment he heard the prize.

The only problem was that Chuuya couldn’t bring himself to believe that sirens were real. Sure, there were stories. Whether it be a story of a half woman half bird, a woman with a mermaid tail and gills.. he’d heard the whole lot. He’d been out at see for nearly a week now, and he’d hardly spotted anything.

Everything changed on the last day of the week. He looked over the deck, scanning the waters. When suddenly, he noticed a fellow ship. The ship was empty. There wasn’t even a captain in sight. His vision caught the sight of sailors. He tried to get their attention, but they were stumbling, practically sprinting to jump off of their boat.

He began to yell commands, requesting that a net be thrown, and that a lookout be posted as close as they could get.
