The sea, always tranquil and profound.

The snow-white waves came and went, went and came.

Over and over again, constantly washing the mottled marks on the beach.

Just like the years and time, it washes our memories.

But there are always some things, there are always some people, but they are allowed to be submerged in the sea, and they will be left in the depths of our hearts.

The thousand waves stirred up are not the dream shadows in the picture scroll, they are us, the ghosts of memory.

Lingering.

Just like the current Kazama feathers, the intertwined and entangled turquoise filaments in front of him.

The turquoise filaments of light flowed slowly, like blood veins, slowly injecting the power of life into the weak and pale body.

Qianqian's eyes were tightly closed, her hands were folded, and she knelt on the ground.

On the pious countenance, there were tiny drops of sweat pouring out, accompanied by a faint gentle chant, like a devout believer praying to the gods.

It's just that the current Garden of Eden has long since lost its gods.

It was, a long time ago, right...... Kazama thought of this, and the light in front of him skyrocketed in an instant.

It's as if the whole world is full of green.

It was the color of life, and the moment the green light disappeared, it turned into countless tiny points of light, and quickly surged towards the blood that was dyed red, and then diluted by the sea.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Softly, Kazama Yangyu hurriedly helped Qianqian up.

The weak body stumbled slightly, but a satisfied smile appeared on Qianqian's face.

"Please don't say that, the Guardian's wish is Qianqian's wish."

The lilac eyes, swaying slightly, have a watery luster, flowing quietly.

Kazama suddenly lost his mind, and his heart, which had just been relaxed, throbbed again.

"Uh-huh! If you look at each other affectionately like this, you must at least find a quiet moment in the dead of night...... Isn't it rude to do this in front of people......"

With a light cough, a petite figure appeared to the side without warning, with pale yellow eyes and two shining little tiger teeth, squeezed into the middle of the sight of the two.

"Yikes!"

"Uh......"

The body quickly separated, Qianqian turned her head away with a blushing face, leaving an embarrassed look on her face, touched her nose helplessly, and then, suddenly stretched out her hand, pinched one of Gu's little tiger teeth, and shook it vigorously.

"What a little devil."

"Woo...... Broad(kuai)发(fang)舒(shou)......"

"Quack!"

The finger that was bitten and stuck in.

"Ahh It hurts, it hurts! Are you a puppy?! ”

"You're a puppy, but you're a real demon!"

Well, for the guy who calls himself a demon without any scruples, Kazama Hiroha can only shake his head helplessly.

Glancing at the group of He'er and the three sisters of the Nan family who were laughing and playing on the beach, Kazama Yangyu didn't go over, but just squatted down again, looking at the merman girl in front of him who had just been dragged out of the curved light magic and fainted.

On the face of the narrow melon seeds unique to the merman clan is a pair of delicate eyebrows, and the face that has lost its blood-colored color makes the already weirdly white skin even more pale.

"Huh~"

The brows furrowed slightly, and a slight moan came from the mermaid girl's mouth.

"Father...... Wang ......"

In the corner of his eye, something crystal slowly slipped down and fell onto the beach, but it did not spread, but quickly turned into half-transparent beads, flashing with strange blood in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Kazama's body trembled slightly, allowing the little hand to reach out indiscriminately and grasp his arm tightly.

Can't even let go of it in a dream......

Unconsciously averted his eyes, the corner of Kazama's feathered eyes just swept the dazzling scales.

It's been like this since it was launched...... It doesn't seem to have recovered......

Gently, he reached out his hand, his fingertips, and carefully touched it.

There was a strange feeling of coldness, coming from the shiny silver scales, like a thin sheet of ice on a summer day, and the sensation that, at the slightest touch, would quickly melt.

But the scales, apparently, did not melt, but slowly rose and fell with that faint breath.

Gently, brushing over the scales, the girl's frowning brow suddenly slowly relaxed, and even the small hand holding Kazama's arm gradually relaxed.

"Uh......"

Is it a cat...... Just touch your head or scratch the fluff on your jaw, and you'll relax and revel in a pink world with a look of enjoyment.

The fingertips, unconsciously speeding up, rubbed gently.

Then, suddenly, it began to gradually go up.

The Adam's apple rolled slightly.

There was a bold idea that was formed in Kazama's mind.

Then, turn into an evil move.

Desperately, I tried to pull my palm back, but it was too late.

Already, I can't control my unicorn arm......

Under the dress soaked in the sea, there seemed to be a wild beast, constantly galloping, roaring, desperately pulling the trembling fingertips, slowly moving towards the depths of the skirt.

The fingers, inch by inch, gradually moved upward, and the cold feeling seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, and there was a faint body temperature, which began to pass through.

Qianqian and Gu looked at Kazama Yangyu who was squatting on the ground and doing idiot-like behavior with a dumbfounded expression, and for a while, they forgot to stop it.

There was a faint flush that crept up the merman girl's cheeks, accompanied by a gradual rapid breathing.

The silver scales suddenly became hot, and a faint pink slowly seeped out.

But Kazama raised his hands and still didn't stop.

"Further up! Further up! Further up! ……”

There was a frantic sound that rang in his ears, urging Kazama to move his fingers towards the girl's waist.

Since a long, long time ago, when the little Kazama Yangyu first heard that there was such a thing as a merman in the world, he had been thinking about a question - what part of the so-called fish tail grew to the merman before it began to become a human body...... Then, is it a gradual transition? Or is there a clear dividing line between the two?

Such a question has been lingering in the hearts of young children, accompanied by the most primitive curiosity and desire for knowledge from creatures, through the baptism of the years, the obsession is general, and it has survived to the present.

And now, this question that has plagued Kazama for more than ten years, this question that even the most cutting-edge science on earth cannot answer, is finally going to be solved by a teenager in this different world called the Atrium!

Suddenly the breathing became heavy.

Kazama's eyes began to turn red.

There is a hint of an infatuated smile, unconsciously hooked from the corners of the mouth, accompanied by the flow of Ha Lazi.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Two crunchs.

They came from the left and right cheeks respectively, and in an instant, the mysterious power on the unicorn arm was completely shattered.

"Perverted!"

Then, there was the coquettishness of the same voice.

stared blankly at the mermaid girl who had woken up and stared at her with a flushed face, and the blonde girl who stood aside, looking at herself condescendingly, with a slightly angry face.

Kazama's mind suddenly went blank.

"Uh...... Xiao Yuan ...... Hull ......"

"Ah——,——,h

In the sky, a few crows flew out of nowhere, screaming happily overhead, as if laughing at the poor boy.

hand, subconsciously retracted.

With the touch of electricity.

At that moment, Kazama realized that the cold scales were long gone.

Everywhere your fingertips pass, it's smooth and soft.

"Huh~"

Strange, moaning, came from the mouth of the merman girl.

"Don't make strange noises!"

This time, it was Kazama who struck first.

However, he immediately withered in two angry gazes.

"That...... I'm sorry...... ...... just now"

Glancing quietly at Hull and Xiaoyun, Kazama snorted softly, like a child who had made a mistake.

"I really just wanted to ...... I want to explore the mysteries of the merman's body......"

"Uh-huh——?"

Like a substantial flame, it followed his gaze and flew to Kazama Hiroha, burning him like a monkey with a burning ass.

"No, no, no, I mean, look at why Xiao Yuan's fishtail hasn't changed back even though it's out of the water...... I'm a good person who cares about my fellow travelers! Right! Right! ”

Finally made up a decent reason, Kazama raised his feather and winked vigorously at Qianqian and Gu.

However...... Completely ignored...... Not to mention the Gu that was already a little bad, even Qianqian had already abandoned herself......

For a moment, Kazama felt like the whole world had turned gray.

"Forget it, forget it! This princess is too lazy to care about you! Hum! ”

Turning around with a light hum, Hull unexpectedly forgave Kazama Yangha.

Only in those heterochromatic eyes, there was some light, flickering gently.

"We mermen are originally human fishtails, but we can turn them into legs by our own will."

The flushing on his face slowly faded, and Xiao Yuan finally calmed down, only there was still a trace of anger in his pale blue eyes.

"Ah...... Yes, is that so? No wonder...... In other words, if you don't control it, the fishtail is a normal natural state, right? ”

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that he had finally escaped from the Ghost Gate.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Kazama Yangyu suddenly caught a glimpse of the three sisters of the Nan family standing on the side covering their mouths and snickering.

"Hey, you three imps, come here!"

"Uncle Ben is not a little ghost!"

A small hand stained with sand slapped dissatisfiedly on the top of Kazama's head.

"It's not a ghost."

Then, the second one.

"Talent...... Not...... So sleepy...... Imp ......"

Finally, the belated one, the third.

"You guys!"

Slightly stunned for a moment, Kazama quickly slapped down the three dirty little hands, and hurriedly slapped the sand that fell on his hair.

Then, with a jerk of his head, he stretched out his hand.

"Hand over the Pearl of the Deep Sea!"

"Hmm...... Don't give! I'm going to exchange gold coins at night! ”

Nande shrewdly hesitated, but still stubbornly said.

“…… Swap for gold coins? But things have come to this, Xiao Yu ......"

Although this is not good for him, after all, he caused it all by himself...... But Kazama still smiled bitterly and glanced at Xiao Yuan.

"I didn't hire them."

The faint sound was like thunder on the ground, and in an instant, it resounded in the ears of the wind and feathers......
