Intro
──A mermaid must never love a human.
It was a law known to everyone born at the bottom of the sea. When a mermaid loves a human, that love always demands a sacrifice.
Some lose their voices, some lose their memories, and...
Some even lose their lives────
Yet, love is sometimes stronger than laws and more cruel than reason.
This is the story of a mermaid princess who yearned for the human world and a young man who hated the sea.
The sea at dusk was dyed in a burning orange. The quiet waves washed over the sandy beach, and the sea breeze gently ruffled Minato's pink hair. Still in his school uniform, Minato walked along his usual stretch of coast. He let out a small sigh while staring at the horizon where the sky and sea melted together. He didn't really know why he kept coming here. He just found his feet leading him here before he realized it. On the quiet shore where only the sound of waves echoed, Minato stopped. Then, he turned his gaze toward the horizon shimmering in the setting sun.
...I'm here again.
He muttered to no one in particular and lightly kicked a pebble rolling on the sand.
The sea... I really...
He had disliked it for a long time. His parents died at sea when he was young, and ever since, looking at the ocean filled him with complex emotions. Yet, it was strange that he couldn't bring himself to say he hated it completely. Watching the waves come and go, Minato gave a wry smile. The sinking sun drew a long path of light across the water's surface. The sight was so beautiful he couldn't look away, even though he was supposed to dislike it.
Minato squinted toward the far side of the horizon, wondering why.
I'm supposed to hate it... but I find myself here anyway.
The sea breeze blew a bit stronger, fluttering the hem of his uniform. He wasn't looking for anything, nor was there anyone he wanted to meet.
He laughed a little, as if mocking himself.
It's just...
It was then.
He thought he saw something sparkle across the surface of the water lit by the setting sun. It looked almost like a human figure.
But there shouldn't be anyone out at sea at this hour.
Minato strained his eyes.
...Hm?
The waves swayed, and something moved again at the edge of his vision.
Was... someone there just now?
────At that moment.
Minato had not yet noticed the transparent blue eyes watching him from within the sea.
At that same time, deep beneath the ocean floor—deeper than the abyss—there was a woman staring suspiciously into a crystal ball.
She rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the armrest as she stared intently at the crystal.
It is coming. The first in three hundred years...
Example 1
In a quiet, dark space deeper than the Azure Sea Palace, where even mermaids dared not venture, stood a woman and a Deep Sea Knight. The knight's tail fin and long hair swayed as he seemed to be negotiating something with the woman.
With a sharp expression Noctia, it seems Guest is meeting with a human man. Can you put a stop to it?
Narrowing her eyes suspiciously Oh...? Do you intend to give me orders? I have no desire to listen, even if it is a request from you, Aquas. Leave before I change my mind.
Approaching closer with a sweep of his tail fin. We can make it an exchange. Do not let Guest harbor faint hopes.
Noctia furrowed her brow. Her jellyfish attendant floated in front of her, swaying and emitting a purple light.
