Mermaid [Interstellar]

The undercurrent on the bottom of the sea surged silently, and Alice silently followed Julie, watching her swim forward with a flick of her tail.

"Is Pearl the same?" Alice asked suddenly.

Julie turned around: "What?"

"Swim with your tail." Alice pointed.

"...Of course, mermaids swim with their tails." Julie straightened her tail, a little proudly, "We don't need diving equipment."

"Will you be tired after swimming for a long time?"

Julie: "..."

It looks like it will.

Although Julie didn't answer, Alice had already seen the answer from the expression on Julie's face.

Julie: "Let's hurry up."

She drove faster and distanced herself from Alice.

Crystal Palace is close at hand.

Julie sneaked in with Alice: "Pearl should still be sleeping, do you want to..."

Before she finished speaking, Alice had entered Pearl's room and blocked Julie from the door.

Julie: "..." I'd better keep the door.

She found a place to sit down and pay attention to the movement around her.

Pearl was very quiet when she was sleeping, and Alice quietly walked to her bed. Her room was not completely dark, but the sea water shimmered, reflecting the whole room into a dreamy blue.

In fact, Alice didn't know why she came here, she wanted to see Pearl so desperately.Just after Julie sent a message saying that Pearl's health was much better, she hurried over and didn't want to wait for a moment.

After nine years of transformation, she looked at Pearl who fell into a deep sleep, and she just hoped that she could wake up, but people are always greedy. After Pearl woke up, she hoped that she could remember herself.

"This is tantamount to starting all over again. She has already forgotten about you." Julie said, "And her current physical condition is also very unstable. This place is really not suitable for cultivation."

Pearl is already a mermaid, and she needs an environment suitable for mermaid survival.

At that time, Blue Star was just negotiating with the empire, and the emperor hoped that Blue Star would surrender and be incorporated into the empire's territory as soon as possible.She contacted Cyril through Erwin, bribed the congressman, proposed to use Blue Star as an autonomous planet, and sent herself to negotiate.

At the same time, she secretly contacted the eldest daughter of the Mermaid King and expressed her willingness to support her in ruling the blue star.

The plan was finally implemented successfully, and Pearl also successfully became the sixth daughter of the Mermaid King.

Alice put her hand on Pearl's body and looked at her blankly.

Pearl looked much better, her face was more rosy and her body was less thin than when the experiment was just completed.

Just watching quietly like that, Alice also felt very satisfied.

Love is a strange thing.

Pearl always felt that someone was watching him, his eyes were burning, and his skin seemed to be burning.

How is it possible, I am in the sea.

She turned over and continued to sleep, probably dreaming.

Seeing Pearl turned over, Alice came back to her senses. She didn't dare to take a breath, and looked at her with tense nerves, afraid that she would wake up suddenly.

If Pearl wakes up, will she still remember herself?

Alice suddenly had a small expectation.

You don't need to remember who you are, as long as you can remember that they have met before when your eyes meet, you don't need a deep impression.

George said it wasn't worth restarting their relationship either.

"Miss Pearl is already a real mermaid, no longer a half-mermaid who is biased toward humans. She has a lifespan similar to yours. She only has 300 years."

Let it go.

This is George's suggestion.

"In this way, in the days to come, even if Miss Pearl is not around, you can still be yourself—don't forget, you still have a lot of things to do."

Come quietly, go quietly.

Alice thought that no one would notice, and would come to sit by Pearl's bed for a while every night.

"Just looking at you makes me feel very at ease." Alice murmured

, "This kind of you reminds me of the old you. But now it's much better, you've become much healthier..."

Sometimes Alice would tell about herself, about what George had taught her, about her annoying job.

The voiceless Pearl was her best confidant.

After finishing talking every day, Alice left.

What she doesn't know is that every day, Pearl waits for her to go before going to sleep.

Pearl didn't tell anyone about it.

Every night, she would lie on the bed and pretend to fall asleep quietly waiting for Alice's arrival.

This evening, that person did not come.Pearl sat on the bed alone until dawn.

"I dream of someone every night," Pearl said to the Queen Mother. "I didn't dream of her last night...you say, why?"

The queen mother covered her mouth and giggled: "Who did our little Pearl dream of? Is it the handsome prince?"

"...No." Pearl's expression was a bit embarrassing, and she couldn't help but blushed, "It's a woman, she's pretty, and she's dressed luxuriously..."

Pearl described Alice's characteristics in detail, and she fell into her own reverie, completely oblivious to the slight trembling of the elder sister's hand holding the cup.

To drink water in the sea, you need to use a special sealed cup to suck it up with a straw. The water in the elder sister's cup is constantly shaking. If it is not sealed, it may have spilled all over the floor.

The eldest sister hurriedly found Alice.

"..." Alice paused after listening to the elder sister's story, and refused to admit it, "Why did I go to the Crystal Palace secretly?"

George, who was on standby, looked up at the sky.

Alice remained calm, showing a slight curiosity: "Otherwise, I'll let you take a look, maybe Pearl is really dreaming?"

She glanced at the eldest sister with a half-smile: "I don't know, who else would Pearl dream of besides me?"

Eldest sister: "..."

Pearl sees the woman who sneaks up every night again.

"This is Duke Alice." The eldest sister introduced, "Come to inspect our Blue Star, she is the governor of the star field where our Blue Star is located."

Pearl smiled and saluted.

Alice smiled back, accepted Pearl's gift, and turned to speak to the elder sister: "I think Blue Star's development is still good..."

Pearl looked at Alice who didn't miss her, grabbed the hem of her clothes, and lowered her head.

Does she not recognize herself?

Obviously come here every night.

No matter how frustrated she was, Pearl still tried her best to put on a smiling face.

She didn't want Alice to see her crying face.

"Are... what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale." Alice suddenly asked Pearl.

"No...no." Pearl squeezed her hands hastily, sniffling softly.

The Duke's face was serious: "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable, or you can go back and rest."

"It's really fine." Pearl didn't want to miss Alice.

Alice nodded, and continued to turn around and talk to the elder sister.

Pearl followed, looking down at Alice's heels, she thought they knew each other well...

It seems she thinks so.

But why does the duchess come over every night?

Could it really be that she was dreaming?

Alice was absent-mindedly talking to the eldest sister, and her mind was on Pearl behind her.

It never occurred to her that Pearl was awake every night waiting for her to come over.

Clearly, Pearl no longer remembered her but still had an instinct to be close to her involuntarily.

As she walked, Alice tried her best to glance at Pearl behind her, and dealt with the elder sister perfunctorily: "You make a lot of sense, please hand me a plan first."

Big Sister: "..." Do you really know what I'm talking about?

After all came, Alice also found Julie by the way, and told about Pearl's situation.

"Instinct, I can't explain it." Julie said, "Perhaps, you can think that falling in love with you has become Pearl's instinct."

Alice's heart seemed to be bursting with thousands of fireworks, it was warm.

"But I don't think this is a good thing. Pearl's body is very unstable. Your presence makes her mood fluctuate..."

"My personal suggestion is to rest..." Julie looked at Alice and saw that she did not show any objection, and continued, "I would like to ask you not to show up again and affect Pearl's mood."

Alice fell into an ice cellar: "Is...really?" It was as hot as it was just now, and it is as cold as it is now.

"Pearl can live to the normal lifespan of a mermaid, if you wish."

"Okay. I promise."

Alice turned around and left: "In the future, I will continue to trouble Dr. Julie."

A year later, Julie's report made it clear that Pearl had forgotten about Alice, and her memory was slowly fading.

Each subsequent year, the report showed, Pearl's physical condition gradually stabilized at the same time.

……

Alice's expression froze at Pearl's sudden confession: "Why did you say such a thing suddenly?"

"Aren't you?" Pearl looked confused, "I always feel that you look familiar... Have we met somewhere?"

Alice needed to clench her ten fingers tightly before she could restrain her trembling movements.

Alice's voice was dry: "We've met."

Pearl looked at her expectantly, and Alice lowered her eyes: "It's in the Crystal Palace, we met for the first time."

"No!" Pearl looked into Alice's eyes, emotionally, "I always feel, it must not be!"

"What do you think?" Alice raised her eyebrows, "Didn't we meet at the Crystal Palace when I was looking for your sister for the first time?"

"I..." Pearl was at a loss for words, and various memories flashed rapidly, and the pictures were disturbed, twisted and rotated, and mixed together in her mind.

"It hurts..."

Pearl covered her head and fainted.

"George!" Alice was startled and shouted loudly, "Go and find Julie!"
