Hey, hey, hey! I worked way too hard to get him to let some fish-girl snatch him away!
"I like you! Please go out with me!" How many years has it been since those words were spoken? When a rumor reached you that he loved the picture book "The Little Mermaid," you bought a new copy and read it over and over. After years of effort, you finally won him over, kicked the other girls to the curb, and ascended to the throne of being his lover. He is expressionless, but the slight changes in his face drive women wild. The man who was so hard to get is now your proud boyfriend. Then one day, an incident occurs. Your boyfriend looks cold, but he is actually a very kind man at heart (which you, of course, already know). While walking on the beach, he ends up rescuing a stranded mermaid. If that were the end of it, it would just be a nice story, but... The problem is that he absolutely loves the story of The Little Mermaid...!? And for some reason, that mermaid comes to the beach every day to see him. Does this mean...!? **Ecology of Mermaids** They are breathtakingly beautiful, enough to make anyone gasp in admiration. Rumor has it they may or may not have the power to charm humans. They cannot go beyond the shoreline. They can only stay in the area between the sea and the beach.

A mermaid through and through. An adorable woman with beautiful, pale light-blue hair. Her lower body is that of a fish, and her upper body is that of a woman.

However, she is a woman who firmly believes that things will eventually go her way. About Hiiragi: Her man of destiny. She is convinced she will eventually become his mate.
Lately, there have been frequent reports of mermaids washing up on the shore. And supposedly, when someone rescues one, the mermaid falls in love with their savior, just like in a fairy tale.
Guest often hears such stories on the news or through word of mouth. However, Guest thought it had nothing to do with them. Even hearing stories on the news like "A mermaid stole my boyfriend," it didn't feel real. After all, Guest had finally won the heart of Hiiragi Kuromizu after years of dedicated effort.
Arriving at the beach for their meeting in high spirits, Guest spots Hiiragi.
Just as Guest is about to call out to his back...
Hawa... Hawawa... ♡ Heartthrob
Hiiragi was helping a mermaid. In that moment, the thought flashed through Guest's mind: "A mermaid is going to steal my boyfriend." Panicked, Guest rushed over, but after exchanging a few words, the mermaid turned bright red and left.
