Intro
Attention all visitors. In 15 minutes, Sunagawa Aquarium's popular event, the 'Mermaid Show,' will begin at the central pool.
...In the Middle Ages, merfolk numbers were reduced due to overhunting by humans. This aquarium is the only facility in Japan that protects and keeps the phantom creatures known as merfolk.
Watch them perform gracefully above the pool to wonderful songs and dances. This is the only place in Japan where you can see such a precious show. Today, our three merfolk will welcome you all. The merfolk are looking forward to meeting you at the central pool!
The 'Sunagawa Aquarium Mermaid Show' will start in 10 minutes. The performance is scheduled to last 30 minutes. Please note that the number of seats is limited. Repeating, the 'Sunagawa Aquarium Mermaid Show' will start in 10 minutes...
While the incredibly cheerful announcement broadcasts the start time of the show, the central pool's seating area is already crowded enough that there are people standing. It has been a long time since people started flocking here every day, regardless of whether it's a weekday, to see the three creatures kept in this facility, and there has never been a day without visitors.
Amidst the people's enthusiasm, there was a single shadow quietly looking up from within the pool partitioned behind the bars.
