It's been a while since we've gotten an apocalyptic gray job. But I suppose Yume, and Nagomi have gotten used to doing this kind of thing well enough to know that it's all about getting your catch and getting out.
With this I do wonder how the series would end once it does. Because to the series credit it can kind of just keep going until the author either gets sick of it or it stops being popular enough to keep getting volumes and then it can just go "alright Yume has paid off her debt and she goes traveling all around the world with Nagomi" whenever it wants. Given that we don't know how much the debt is and given how much they've already made an ending can be slotted in pretty much whenever it needs to be.
With the biggest unresolved plotpoint right now being Nagomi's dad. But like that's literally what's being resolved right now and can also just be resolved pretty much whenever at this point.
Which kind of just leaves me with the question that this arc raises, will they actually get a happy ending or is this series going to end with the gray catching up to them as it on multiple occasions kind of already has, they really have only gotten this far by using Yume's supernatural ability to detect danger and Nagomi's quick thinking but that can't keep up forever.

OK, which will bring about humanity's end first? The hand that just squashes people, a horde of mermaids, the fucking briefcase that cause a country to destabilize...any of these could led to humanity's end yet here they are? What, they got an organization that deals with these things...then again, since they can easily catch mermaids, how strong are they really?
Which leads to something I find disturbing...what if the bidders and people who eat mermaids...are bait for the actual mermaids so they can catch them some more?

Be funny if the story ends with them finding Nagomi's dad...who dresses like one of them MiBs and he recruited them into an organization that deals with this stuff?

It's like Mr Burns' health, they block each other from wiping out humanity.

Drastic turn for the duo as their decision here actively shows they are willing to do things thru know are wrong to get money. Yume is going a different direction from hama. Hama was someone who started knowing she has to be heartless but her true self of being a good person slowly came out and yume is someone who's slowly decending into apathy
Or...make sure you kill what you eat.

I was wondering why Yume/Hama didn't get any kind of retribution. Turns out the answer was super simple: Take a bath lol.
On another note, what exactly was going on with the people eating the mermaid? I thought it was dead when the uo bought it but it was alive when being eaten?

Yes, and considering the bathhouse fee is 1000 yen per person while other bathhouses usually charge less than 500 yen, perhaps this bathhouse is not a normal one.
Also, Yume & Hama pay for this job is considerably lower than some other gray jobs they've done. 100k yen per day for basically participating in death auction is so cheap imo.

Yume was really locked in this chapter it was kinda scary. I guess when other people are with them she's more protective but if it's just her and Hama she just gets shit DONE. I respect it. I think I'm hungry for fish.

The idea of an army of mermaids coming onto land to beat everyone up is by far the least concerning way that mermaids could decide to try to kill all humans. Like, we have guns, missiles and planes, none of which they'd have had a chance to figure out, and we've already seen from the fact that fishermen were butchering and eating them that they aren't and more strong or durable than we'd be led to expect from basic biology. Unless they've got significant magic powers that we haven't seen up to this point, we're winning that fight handily.
The actual concern is if they decide to take out our shipping routes. Transport ships are big, loud, and vulnerable enough that handfuls of guys in rafts with machine guns are still a genuine threat - if they start just sneaking on board and killing the entire crew at once, there'd be very little we could do about it, and that would very quickly kill the entire global economy. Then we'd be in a lot of trouble.
