Come on, Miss Mermaid

When the cold sea water embraced me, my body changed accordingly.

The white and slender legs turned back into a gorgeous blue fishtail, the clothes on his body were also washed off by the sea water, his chest turned into a wisp of veil, and the human ears changed back into the shape of fish fins.

Ahhh~ This is the most comfortable place. Is it true that fish cannot live without water?Breathing freely in the water is full of the smell of the sea.

I happily turned a few times in the water, then poked the bubbles with my fingers, and played happily alone.

Ahh~ I patted my head, let's go and see everyone first.

I stopped a series of childish movements and swam towards the deep sea.

Humph~ Do you miss me?Will you be surprised~

While humming a song, I swam on the familiar road.

"Everyone, I'm back!" Seeing the familiar scene, I couldn't help shouting.

"Little princess!"

"It's the little princess!"

"Little princess! You are back!"

"Yeah! I'm back, little grasses" happily greeted the algae beside me, "By the way, do you know where Grandpa Crab has gone?"

"..."

"Huh?" Why are you silent?

"It's inside, little princess."

"Enn, then I'll go and see it first, and I'll come to play with you later~" I flicked my tail and swam towards the place they pointed.

"Grandpa Crab ~ Grandpa Crab ~ where are you?" I looked around.

"This voice is... the little princess?" A familiar but unusually old voice came from the left.

I turned my head excitedly, "Crab...!"

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the one in front of me... and said tremblingly, "You... are you Grandpa Crab?"

The one in front of me can only be called a crab in shape, and the whole province has turned black and purple. Although Grandpa Crab is old, his body has always been a normal blue-green color, and his eyes are standing upright, but now His eyes were closed, and the two mustaches that were just sticking to the cheeks on both sides have become very, very long now. If you look closely, his other arms

Also somewhat unnatural.

I ran over immediately, raising my hand and not knowing where to put it.

"What... what's going on, why are you like this?"

"Why did you come back suddenly, little princess." Its voice was unbelievably old.

"Don't worry about these, tell me quickly how did you become like this?" I was so anxious that tears flowed out.

"..." It was silent for a while.

"Grandpa Crab!?"

"It's just changed back to what it should be." It sighed.

I was completely stunned by the fog, and I didn't understand what it meant. Speaking of it, it was like something was hiding from me before. I looked at it fixedly, and conveyed the information I wanted to know with my eyes.

"I see, little princess, then I'll tell you." It pulled me into the place where I used to live. It was a very huge shell with soft seaweed cushions, and I picked it up everywhere. Comes with nice decorations.

"Little princess, a group of people came here some time ago and took away the cornerstone of our most treasured sea under the sea."

What?The cornerstone of the sea?What the hell is that, I've never heard of it.

"This matter must be traced back to the Middle Ages. At that time, the race of mermaids was on the verge of extinction. Only the mother of the little princess, your mother's sister, the grandfather of the little princess, and the unborn baby Princess you."

Hey~ Did you make a mistake, there wasn't even a male mermaid at that time, wouldn't that be the end of the game?

"At that time, mermaids lived in the center of the ocean and never went to the outside world, and the cornerstone of the sea was the treasure of Zhenhai that mermaids have guarded for generations." Its eyes seemed to go back to a long time ago.

"But something happened at that time. Your mother's sister felt that life under the sea was boring, so she turned into a human and went on the road."

I twitched the corner of my mouth, it must not be what I thought... This kind of bloody plot.

"To put it simply, that mermaid fell in love with a man on land and betrayed us."

"Betrayal? Is it because mermaids can't fall in love with humans?" It's really vulgar.

"No, it's not." It shook its paw.

Huh?no!I opened my eyes wide. According to his statement, mermaids and humans can still fall in love?

"Didn't I say that? At that time, mermaids were already on the verge of extinction, and they could no longer reproduce purebred offspring, so even if they fall in love with humans, it's no big deal. What's really important is that the mermaid puts a very important The cornerstone of the sea was given to that human being."

"After talking for a long time, you still haven't told me what the cornerstone of the sea is."

"That is one of the three major elements that make up this world. The other two are the Stone of the Great Space and the Stone of the Rainbow."

This... How can this kind of setting be so familiar -_-|||

"Then why did you give such an important stone to that human being?" I asked curiously after guessing what was going on.

"Because that man needs strength. He seems to want to form some kind of gang. In order to help him, the mermaid gave him the cornerstone of the sea. It is said that it was built into a ring."

Sure enough...o(╯□╰)o

Ugh?and many more!

"But you said, did someone come to snatch the cornerstone of the sea some time ago? Isn't that already given to someone else? And what happened to the mermaid?" I asked puzzled.

"That's because the cornerstone of the sea sent by the mermaid was not complete."

"Ok?"

"The cornerstone of the sea was originally a whole piece, but I don't know when it was separated for safekeeping. Maybe it was later that I realized what a serious thing I had done. After the mermaid gave the cornerstone of the sea to the human , I came back again, and chose to end myself.”

"...!!"

"Then, did those people who came a while ago snatch the rest? That's what the mermaid said too? But how did he find us?" I guessed after contacting.

"Maybe, little princess, I think they found it because the cornerstone of the sea they held had the same reaction as the one here."

Then... Then, according to the logic that this world is a family education, the family that owns the cornerstone of the sea...

"However, little princess, you said one thing wrong." Grandpa Crab went on to say, "They didn't take away the rest of the cornerstone of the sea, but took away the rest of the cornerstone of the sea."

"You mean, is there any left?!" I was surprised.

"Actually, the cornerstone of the sea was divided into four parts. One was in the hands of the mermaid, one was in the hands of your mother, and half was held by your grandfather. What those people took away was The mermaid and the one in your mother's hand are half in total, and the remaining half is." It paused and looked at me "It's right there with you, to be precise, it's fused into your body, your blood, In your soul!"

"Oh??!" My eyes widened immediately, and I was really stunned.

"Do you still remember, little princess, when you opened your eyes one day a year ago, you were very unfamiliar with this place, and you basically forgot what happened before?"

Um? !Wasn't that when I first traveled here?At that time, I was very worried that I would wear clothes, so I tried not to mention the past, and slowly guided it to my own appearance bit by bit, because they raised doubts, and I thought I was doing a good job. , So I knew it... Then, then my secret...

"That's because" it opened its mouth, I swallowed my saliva, and held my breath to listen to what it said, "Little princess, you only truly integrated the cornerstone of the sea at that time."

Huh? (⊙_⊙) I don't understand the situation at all.

"After that incident for a period of time, in order not to use the remaining cornerstone of the sea, for the sake of this world, and to protect you, those two adults tried their best to introduce the remaining half of the cornerstone of the sea into the newborn baby. In your body, they also died shortly after they exhausted their strength."

Forehead………

"Because the power of the cornerstone of the sea was too strong, it was sealed into your body. It took you a long time to absorb and fuse it, so you have been sleeping since then. After about 100 years, you finally came out of sleep When you wake up, it means that part of you has already merged, but you have not been awake for a long time and then continued to sleep, like this, you keep sleeping and waking up, and the time you are awake is getting longer and longer, and every time you wake up, They will forget a lot of things like a newborn baby, probably because of the influence of the cornerstone of the sea."

No wonder, you don't have any doubts about my changing personality at all. Is it because this kind of thing is commonplace?But...according to this calculation, how old am I...

"Finally last time, you finally completed a complete fusion and woke up from your long sleep."

"How do you know I was fully fused last time?" I asked it.

"From the color of your eyes, hair, and fish tail, the color of the cornerstone of the sea is the color of the sea. The color of the sea is not a single blue, but has different shades and changes. It depends on the color of your body. Just look at the color, at first you were uniformly light blue."

It looked at me with great relief, "Time stops when you are asleep, and only grows when you are awake."

"But!" I suddenly thought of a very serious question, "Then since I have the cornerstone of the sea in my body, will it attract those people?" Not only that, but my current identity is still a mermaid. The Mafia found out... I'm turning pale just thinking about it.

"Don't worry," it smiled reassuringly, "First of all, you have completely integrated the cornerstone of the sea, only you can sense that side, even if they have a partner, they can't sense this side, I think the previous paragraph When time was taken away from another cornerstone of the sea, your body must have had a certain reaction. Secondly, only your grandparents were entrusted to take care of you. I know that the cornerstone of the sea was divided into four parts. The mermaid thought there were only two halves."

I let out a long breath. Is that the reason for that inexplicable fever?Just when I was about to say something, looking at its appearance, I suddenly thought of the thing I wanted to ask at the beginning, "But, why did you become like this?"

"Hehe," it took a long breath, "I said it, it just changed to what it should be. The reason why I am so clear about the past is because I have lived from then until now."

How can it be? !No matter how long the life span is, no matter how sci-fi, it is impossible for crabs to have such a long life span!

"That's because the cornerstone of the sea is still there." After understanding my expression, it explained "Because of it, I can live up to now with its power, but now..."

was taken away...

"Don't cry, little princess, it's enough to live for such a long time. In fact, I have fulfilled my wish. I was always worried during your fusion period, and I was afraid that if those people came to you at that time, they would find you. What should I do? So I kept moving my home to the east, praying and waiting anxiously. It was finally okay. After you fully integrated, I observed for a period of time and made sure that you can live independently. I will let you hide on the mainland immediately. , so that they will not find you, it is also the blessing of the sea god. Sure enough, after you have been away for a while, they came to your door. Although we also resisted, we were eventually snatched away, but it is not necessary now I am no longer worried that they will come back, and the cornerstone of the sea fused into your body will protect you, so I am relieved."

"Are you...are you leaving me?" I opened my eyes wide, trying not to let the tears fall down.

"Although the body will die, but the heart will always be with you."

Don't cry, otherwise, Grandpa Crab won't be relieved.

"Little princess, please live happily ever after. Also, it's great to see you."

"Well, me too." I nodded, held it gently in my hand, and then looked at it without moving, and kept looking at it for an unknown amount of time, until its body was completely cold and bent.

Put it cold body close to yourself.

Now, Grandpa Crab, I've been meaning to say, thank you.
