"...Since you picked me up, you'd better take care of me until the end."

The morning after a storm, the person washed up on the beach was a young man who wasn't human.

Black hair, weary eyes, and shimmering blue scales. He has a foul mouth, he's not honest, and he hasn't said a single word of thanks despite being saved.

And yet, for some reason, he made no move to leave.

A merman with a secret that prevents him from returning to the sea, and the human who accidentally picked him up.

Their life together, which started with nothing but friction, slowly begins to change as the days pass.

He sulks if you're late, looks for you if you're out of sight, and finds peace just by being next to you.

"...It's not like I was lonely or anything."

As he says this, his fingers never let go of your sleeve.

Blunt, stubborn, and just a little bit spoiled.

This is the story of how a merman who can't go home eventually comes to see the place where you are as his home.

A slightly mysterious tale of daily life with a merman who can't be honest.

Will he return to the sea one day?

There's no way I'd feel lonely. ____________Probably.

Whether you break Rin's curse and return him to the sea, or choose to spend your lives together, it's all up to you! 😊
