46. The price of longing
[Love is a war. Right or wrong, the winner is king. γ
Under the indoctrination of such a straightforward and somewhat vulgar theory, Xiaoyu, who was constantly shaking, finally wavered a little. Still insisting on finding the prince with the most perfect side, she naturally did not agree to go in the daytime when her skin had become dark, so this "ceremony" that should have been holy and pure, but which was deliberately simplified, was set for the same night.
Xiaoyu, who finally mustered up her courage, seemed to want to express all the feelings she had accumulated over the years, so she closed the stall early and ran back to "dress up", and very ruthlessly threw those who encouraged her on the beach to bask in the sun.
It's a little sad...... Although, it's a little fun at the same time.
"I'll help. Seeing that Sister Yu slowly squatted down and began to pick up the debris scattered on the ground, Alice, who had nothing to do, naturally did not stare dryly.
The "brainwashing" of Xiaoyu took an unexpected amount of time, and when he really came back to his senses, the sun that was about to reach the horizon was emitting a soft light, which should already be regarded as a sunset, and it was about to rub off the last bit of time at the end of the day, and then prepare for tomorrow's things with plenty of rest.
Although the temperature has dropped and the people in the bathing suits are starting to feel more or less cool, none of them want to miss the scenery that can only be seen at such times. Calm when there is no wind and surging when the wind is strong, this moody sea shines like a beautiful coat, revealing its tranquil yet lively nature.
Simple, but because of the simplicity and caused the "problem", horror, but because of the "longing" in the heart, during the day the wind and fire are looking forward to the appearance of the prince, and at night singing and looking forward to the beautiful encounter, Xiaoyu, she is simply the daughter of the sea. Even if it was a refusal, why did the prince who should have known from the knight that the little mermaid never appeared in front of her, but simply ignored it to let this expectation spread endlessly?
"Oh...... Thank you. β
For some reason, Sister Yu suddenly turned her back on her face. She carefully picked up every piece of debris that fell on the ground, and it must have been doing everything she could to protect their abode. As Sister Yu said before, the reason why humans can occupy the vast majority of this territory is definitely not because they have stood at the top of all living things, but a large part of the reason is that those races outside of humans are unwilling to symbolize with them. Just like the current Sister Yu, who is more powerful than any human warrior, she did not choose to intimidate people not to destroy this ocean, but picked up the debris little by little like a lonely little girl.
Apparently they don't want to have too much contact with humans, as if they were touching some taboo. So...... It is impossible to judge or guess how Xiaoyu's love affair with the prince should be, it is like a sailboat sailing in the fog, and it is not clear where the end is, and what awaits the sailors at the end.
It may be a wonderful love blessed by everyone, like the best ending in a fairy tale. Or maybe it's a fruitless love affair that has long been doomed to tragedy, and even after the torture of waiting, the little mermaid still can't get the longing she sang before.
Xiaoyu, are you really ready?
"Whew, that's almost the end of it!"
The beach has become smooth again, and Sister Yu, who has been swaying the main piece of sand, is constantly wiping the beads of sweat oozing from her forehead at the moment, "Aren't the eldest ladies going to prepare? β
"But Sister Yu, you ......"
"Hey...... Are you thinking something wrong, I jump into the sea and get out again, and my whole body will become clean. Walk, walk, walk, walk. β
Sister Yu yelled while pushing Alice. The sunset, which was still on the horizon, has gradually disappeared, and there are no other tourists on the beach, after all, no one shiveres on the beach in a swimsuit.
"I'm sorry for the lack of time to sleep, but please join us here in the early hours of the morning, after all, the early hours of each night are the time when our mermaid scales shine the most. β
"Hmm......"
Alice nodded stiffly, although Sister Yu was rarely "witty" for a while, her pompous acting skills seemed to exist to hide some impending secret. So......
Let's go with her this time.
"I see, we'll be here early and wait. β
"Well, that's a good boy. β
Sister Yu nodded, watching Alice and her party gradually disappear into the distance of the beach with a little hesitation.
The preoccupied "little rabbit" must have discovered something, but she couldn't guess it yet. The playful twins didn't understand anything at all, and the silly maid seemed to be so bent on going back to the shower that she completely ignored the atmosphere around her, and only the rest of the ......
"Goodbye!"
Subconsciously took a step back, but Sister Yu still waved her hand enthusiastically at Irina who suddenly turned around. Is it a compromise, is it a waiver? These thoughts that belong to the little girl are clear to others and cannot be verified, but ...... It would be nice if she could turn back.
Because...... It's not good.
It would be really bad if what happened after the sun went down was seen by those innocent little girls. A few good children who are rare to see, no one can bear to cast a shadow on their hearts.
"It's over...... I can't catch up!"
Sister Yu ran on the beach, leaving behind the cleaned up fried noodle stall, as if she was being chased by some monster urgently, running towards the sea that no longer had a little golden light, but began to become "black" and terrifying.
[Wow]
The sea soaked her legs, the tops of her feet, her ankles, her knees...... waist and abdomen, the distance is getting deeper and deeper, and Sister Yu's movement has become slower and slower. Why, isn't Sister Yu a mermaid? Why can't she show her beautiful and shining fish tail and swim into the sea as quickly as a fish?
Who the hell is asking? No, it doesn't matter. The important thing is the unanswerable reason, yes, why not the fishtail, or ...... Now she can't change at all?

"......Shh
Something seems to have cracked...... But what is that?
No one knows, the only thing that can be seen is the painful face of Sister Yu, who is half submerged in the sea, and then she is planted on her back into the turbid sea water as if she is spasmed.
"Sister!"
[Wow]
Something swam at the bottom of the sea, barely revealing a dark shadow. It quickly approached Sister Yu, who had fallen into the sea, and then ......
"Sister, how do you ......?"
Then, holding Sister Yu, she emerged from the sea.
The mermaid is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, and her long pink hair, which is wet by the sea, is constantly fluttering with the sea. Her hand hugged Sister Yu tightly, but even this did not bring her sister the slightest relief from pain.
"That's terrible...... The timing was uncertain. β

Something was cracking and breaking. The surface of the sea suddenly became even more turbid, as if something bad had been mixed in, but it was all hidden by the all-engulfing water.
I don't know how long it took, but the mermaid who had been hugging Sister Yu tightly finally waited for Sister Yu's overly "relaxed" voice.
"I'm sorry...... You should already know about it, little sister. β
Sister Yu's fishtail suddenly surfaced, sweeping away the murky waters floating around her as if she was in a hurry to cover up the evidence. As before, the beautiful and shining fishtail has no problems at all, except for the sudden appearance.
β...... She can't hide the secret, it's just sister, it's ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as we take care of it, it's fine. Sister Yu waved her hand, although there seemed to be some kind of undetectable haze hidden in her smile, "Or are you willing to go against her?" Okay, such an important matter, let me go back and take care of it, after all, ......"
It's the prince.
