Episode 4: Princess or Demon
POV=Hippo
I was taking a bath, lamenting about Rina and Yuuri. I stopped cracking the bubble maker. I sighed. "I know it won't solve anything, even if I worry about it alone..." Just then, someone surprised me by covering my eyes. "Who's there?" They uncovered my eyes. It was Hanon. "Yoy! It is me!" "Hanon-san, What are you doing?" I said. "I did it because you had such a serious face." Hanon said, "I thought I'd tease you a bit!" "jeez, you surprised me..." I said. "You're still thinking about Yuuri-san and Rina, right?" I looked at her. "Why don't you ask her directly instead of worrying indecisively..." suggested Hanon. She held up a ticket. "I'll give you this." she said. "What's this?" "I got these concert tickets from Tarou-chan at school." "What I do with those?" I asked. "I got two of them, so why don't you go and invite Yuuri-san?" suggested Hanon. "I get it!"
POV=Yuuri
I just finished skating. "Yuuri," Ari said, "Are you done already?" "Yeah, that's it for today." I said. I was walking to his house when he saw Rina. She kept calling me demon the other day and I don't know why. "You're living in a pretty nice house, aren't you?" she said, "Because of lost memory?" "What!?" I exclaimed. "I guess you don't know who you are, do you..." she said. "That's irrelivant" Just then, Rina tackled me! "How long do you plan to play innocent?!" she exclaimed. "Play innocent about what!?" "Don't play innocent!" "I don't know what you're talking about!" I hit her. "Cut it out! Since yesterday you've been falsely accusing me!" Rina stared at me. "If you keep trying to accuse me, I won't forgive you even if you're a girl!" I shouted. That girl continued to stare at me until she ran away.
POV=Hippo
I was on Yuuri's doorstep when she came. "What are you doing?" she said. "I was just in the area..." I said. I giggled. "And?" she said, "What's your business with me?" "My business is... ummmmm... errrrrrrr... hmmmm..." I blushed. "Ah, this is scary!" I thought, "But Hanon-san kindly gave me these tickets. I must ask her directly!" Just then, I noticed some lace has fallen off Yuuri's skirt. "Uh, lace..." Yuuri noticed. "It's coming off!" I said, "I'll put it back on!" Yuuri opened the door. "Come on in!" she said. I looked around. "Ahh! This is Yuuri-san's room!" I said, "Wonderful!" Yuuri pointed at a drawer. "The sewing tools are in that drawer over there..." she said. She took of her dress. "I'm gonna take a shower, so take care of this!" she said as she threw over the dress. I was sewing. "I'm sort of nervous!" I thought. I looked around. "Yuuri's house... Yuuri's dress... I'm sewing Yuuri's dress lace..." I thought, "I'm like her boyfriend!" I was so happy, I accidentally pricked myself. Yuuri came in. "Did you poke yourself?" she asked, "Give me your hand!" Yuuri grabbed my hand and sucked my finger. I blushed. Suddenly, I accidentally turned on the boombox with my foot. I noticed an album with the word Doumoto. "Doumoto?" I thought. Just then, Yuuri quickly turned it off. "You know, I have something to give you." She threw the ring to me. "You were watching right? Rina and I-" I then remembered what happened. "There's nothing between us." she said. "I-It's really not bothering me..." I said. "I really have no clue what she was thinking. She kept calling me demon." she said. I then remembered Hanon giving me the tickets. "Um, Yuuri-san?" I said, "Actually, there's this concert this evening and I have two tickets. You wanna come with me?" "Concert?" questioned Yuuri. I nodded verbally. "Hanon-san said she got them from Mitsuki-sensei."
POV=Gaito
I was sitting on my throne. I glanced at my pendant. I remembered the day I lost two people... July 7th 1995... Never forget
(Flashback)
(Gaito was watching a young Yuuri play around)
Yuuri: Gaito-sama, here
(Yuuri gives Gaito a pendant)
Gaito: Heh, thanks, Yuuri-san
(Gaito notices an identical pendant around Yuuri's neck)
Gaito: You know, Yuuri-san, (He shows a vision of a ship) There's a celebration of a famous musician there. Maybe mermaids will get attracted to it)
Yuuri: Okay, Gaito-sama
(Flashback end)
That was the last time I ever saw her. "Yuuri-san" I thought.
POV=Rina
I sat on the shore. I held up my pendant. I remember when my kingdom got destroyed. June 30th 1995... never forget
(Flashback)
(A young Rina was in her north atlantic castle. Just then, attack)
Rina: What's going on!
Rina's helper: Water demons are attacking
(Rina noticed Gaito with a green haired water demon, Yuuri)
(Yuuri plays a song on her piano, the castle crumbled)
Rina's helper: Rina-sama. Run
Rina: But-
Rina's helper: Just go.
(Rina watched as the castle was attacked by dust)
(Flaskback end)
I put away my pendant. I just know it was her. I wanted revenge on that girl.
POV=Yuuri
Me, Hanon and Hippo were at the concert. As Mitsuki came up everyone applauded, especially Hanon. "Hanon-san, why are you here too?" he asked, "Didn't you give me those tickets so Yuuri and I could be alone?" "What are talking about? Why wouldn't I come to listening to my Tarou-chan's piano music?" Hanon added, "First of all, I thought I would watch over you so you won't carelessly say anything weird to her..." "seriously?" Tarou started playing. "As usual, Tarou-chan is awesome!" Hanon said. But I wasn't listening. I know that there was a party on the ship that the tidal wave hit. That was the day I lost my memory. The party was in celebration of Haruto Doumoto, who died in the tidal wave with his wife and son, Setsuko and Kaito. I also remembered Rina saying "Because of lost memory? I guess you don't know who you are, do you...". I got up and left. Well, not before Hanon saying "Hey Yuuri-san, if you're going out, take this with you." She pointed at a sleeping Hippo. I went out with Hippo who said "I was so comfortable, I fell asleep..." Just then, I saw Rina. "Hey Rina, you came?" Hippo said, "Hey, How about going in and listening to the performance? The piano is truly wonderful!" "says the one who actually fell asleep inside..." Hippo glared at me. "Well then, I'm going home..." he said. Just then, I had a weird urge to play the piano. I went back inside and sat on the piano. I played a song that I swear I played a long time ago.
POV=Rina
I heard a song, It sounded like the same one that destroyed my kingdom. I went into the grand hall. It was Yuuri! So she was the demon. The audience outside are attacking me. I knew what I had to do. "Green Pearl Voice!"
POV=Hippo
I was in idol form with Mizuiro. I saw Yuuri play the piano. I don't know why, but the humans are just going around crazy. Just then, I saw the Green pearl mermaid Princess. "Time's up, demon" she said. Hang on... Only one person calls Yuuri a demon. It's Rina! She started singing.
Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta
Yoake mae kikoeta merodi
Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta
I could see the music's hurting her. I tried to stop Rina. "Stop it, Rina-san!" I said. "But she's a demon!" said Rina. "No she isn't! Stop accusing her!" I argued. "You're just under her spell!" "I'm not under anyone's spell!" I could see Mizuiro getting confused. "I don't know who are the good guys?" She joined my side. "But I'm on his side!" "I won't forgive you. Cover your ears, Yuuri-san!" I said.
Nanatsu no umi no rakuen
Arashi no yoru no ato ni wa ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga mata umareru
Nanatsu no kuni no merodia
Daremo ga itsuka wa koko wo tabidatsu hi ga kitemo
Watashi wa wasurenai
"Why isn't it working?" I said. "I don't know, but keep singing!" said Mizurio. "You baka! Mermaid's songs don't work for other mermaids!" said Rina, "Welp, at least now the humans know... I think" She left. I just thought of the perfect revenge.
Gaster: Now Hippo hates Rina
Me: You got that right
Episode 5: An Icy Meeting
POV=Hippo
Jennifer's song was playing on the TV while we did some chores. Well, at I did. Hanon couldn't get off her lazy butt. "It's Golden Week and I still have to clean the house..." she said, "Isn't it boring, Hippo?" "Well, it can't be helped." I said, "Onee-chan told me that I should at least help a little." "Weren't you going to go on a date with Yuuri-san?" Hanon said. I blushed. "No, I wouldn't do such a thing!" "Really? What a shame..." said Hanon. "Well then," I said, "Did you ask Mitsuki-sensei out?" "I did ask him, but he said he's busy practicing for that recital." said Hanon. Just then, Nikora came in saying "Hippo, are you done vacuuming? Hanon-chan, since you seem to have free time, help them out." "Uhh... She scared me there." Hanon shuddered. She then looked at me. I was watching a news report about a dolphin. "What's up, Hippo?" The reporter said "Right now, I'm at the aquarium, where the pink dolphin, Momo-chan is recovering after wandering into the bay." "So they finally took Momo-chan in." she said. I then said, "He... He looks like he's calling me..."
Taki-san suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "This is a bad omen!" "Taki-san, when did you...?" Madame Taki continued, "If things remain as they are, Momo-chan will come to great harm..." "Great harm will come..." started Hanon. "To Momo-chan?" completed me. I looked at Hanon. "Hanon-san, let's go see him right now." I said.
POV=Yuuri
I was skating when I noticed a dolphin. "A dolphin? Why would a dolphin be in a place like this" I said. The dolphin squeaked. I knew what was going on...
POV=Hanon
We stared at the crowd. "Wow, look at the crowd." said Hippo. "You think they've all come to see Momo-chan?" I said. The atmosphere for them dropped. "And they're all couples?" said Hippo. In massive numbers too..." I said, "Aw, I should've come with Tarou-chan" I looked at Hippo, "instead of this kinda person." "Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" shouted Hippo, "I would've wanted to come with Yuuri-san too, so bleh!" Then the two of us sighed. "the only lonely people here..." said me. "...are us, i guess..." said Hippo. We looked at the map. "Hmm... where is he?" said Hippo. "Found it! Momo-chan's Habitat is over there!" I said, pointing to the icon with Hippo. "Umm, I have somewhere I want to go, so let's go our separate ways for now." I said, "We can meet up later at Momo-chan's Habitat." "Alright then, don't get lost, Hanon." I joked as I left to the large tank. The tank had sea life from all oceans of the world. Where I'm standing, I can see Atlantic fish. I remembered her country in the South Atlantic getting attacked by Gaito.
(Flashback)
Hanon's Helper: Princess, run!
Hanon: What's the meaning of this?
Hanon's Helper: The water demons are coming to get you, Hanon-sama!
Hanon: To get me?
Hanon's helper: Run!
Hanon: But what about everyone in the castle?
Hanon's helper: Escape right now, and just leave us behind!
Hanon: But...
Hanon's Helper: Hurry, Princess
(Hanon watched as the kingdom was attacked with dust.)
Hanon: Everyone... Everyone!
(Flashback end)
Rina appeared. "Thinking about your country?" Rina said. "Rina..." "It's no wonder that we think about them here..." Rina said.
POV=Yuuri
I was talking to the dolphin. "What's wrong? You look sad." The dolphin pointed to the aquarium. "Is there something there?" I said, "Did something happen there?" The dolphin kept squeaking, I knew something was up. I ran to the aquarium. Just then, I saw Hippo fall down stairs. "Ow... Huh? I'm not hurt?" she said. Yeah, Hippo, Because you landed on me! "Ow!" "Yuurisan! why are you here?" he said. I said "You're asking me now? Don't jump on girls like that." Hippo blushed. "DON'T GET ME WRONG, YOU PERVERTED IDIOT!" he shouted. "Alright, I get it." I said, "Mind getting off?"
They were then talking about the dolphin. "Did you come to see the baby pink dolphin?" I asked. "You too?" Hippo said. "Yeah," I said, "Just a while ago, I found a lone female dolphin. After I heard about the baby being taken care of here, I wondered if these two could be child and parent?" "You think they got separated?" said Hippo. "That's what it feels like." I said. Hippo looked up. "So you can understand a mole's feelings then?" "Stupid... probably only a little." "It's still great! Not everyone can understand them." "Huh, you sure are strange." I then said, "Let's go" as I grabbed on to Hippo's hand.
POV=Hippo
We walked past a few couples. "I wonder if we seen like a couple too..." I thought, "Ahh, my heart's racing... I think she can hear it!" We went to momo-chan's habitat. Momo-chan wasn't there "I wonder if he's feeling down." I said. "He'll feel better when he sees his mom." said Yuuri, "She's right beyond that wall, in fact." "Really?" "Yeah!" Just then, momo-chan came up. "Momo-chan" "Did you get separated from your mom?" asked Yuuri. I telepathically communicated to Momo-chan "I'm the Guardian Prince Hippo. What happened? Tell me." I telepathically said. "Hippo-sama? The Guardian Prince of the North Pacific?" said Momo-chan Telepathically. "Yes. I came here to see you. Tell me what happened." "I got separated from my mom because of the Water demons, Princess." "Water demons?!" "I... want my mom!" "Cheer up. I'll let you see your mom soon." Just then, a speaker turned on and an announcer said "The pink dolphin showcase will be starting in a few minutes." The crowd gathered at the habitat. Just then, I heard shouting appeared. "What's that shouting?" said Hippo. I realized. "It couldn't be them..." she thought.
POV=Izuru
I was luring the mermaid Princesses with a messenger dolphin. "Come to me, Mermaid Princesses!" I said, "For I, Izuru, will take your objects today. For Gaito-sama."
(Flashback)
Gaito: The shining tears of mermaids... the light of their pearls... Without that shine, this place is all too dark. My hopeless wish won't be granted without her.
Izuru: Gaito-sama, I Izuru, will surely bring you the remaining Mermaid Princesses
Gaito: Forget about it... Begone!
Izuru: But.. Gaito-sama!
Gaito: There are countless numbers of people who can replace you.
Izuru: Gaito-sama
(Flashback end)
I sneered. "He is mine! I won't give him to another..." I thought.
POV=Hippo
The dolphin squeaked. "Why are you so scared? Sounding like that." said Yuuri. I looked at Yuuri. "Yuuri-san, look after Momo-chan!" I ran off. "Hey, Hippo!" I saw Mizuiro. "Mizuiro-san, there's trouble! They've appeared at the event." I said. We showed up near Izuru. "I won't allow this any further!" I said. "So, It was you after all." I said, "We'll be your opponents" "I'm ready to pounce!" said Mizuiro. "I'll take you both to Gaito-sama as a gift." she said. She summoned another water dragon. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" The crowd chattered. "Everybody, thank you all so much for waiting!" I said, "This is the Golden Week special program, the Pitchi Pitchi Voice Seaside Live Concert!" "Ooh, its an idol concert!" said a spectator. We said "Enjoy this Pitchi Pitchi Voice" I started singing.

Izuru said "I'm so sorry, Gaito-Sama." "Love shower Pitch!" I said. "Grr... Damn you, Pearl Princesses!" exclaimed Izuru as she disappears. "How about an encore!" We said. The audience cheered.
Kiite, mune no, sasayaki atteru nandarou

The audience applauded. "And now a special Present:" said Mizuiro, "Momo-chan's mother!" A pink dolphin popped out of the water. The audience gasped. Momo-chan appeared next to his mother. The audience clapped. "Thank goodness." said Mizuiro, "You got to see mom again." "This time, the encore will be mom's lullaby, I guess." I said
POV=Yuuri
That night I was at the large tank, looking for Hippo. "Jeez, where did he go off to?" Just then, I saw a penguin. The penguin that saved me seven years ago. "Yuuri-san.." he said. "You... Why are you here?" I asked. "Please... don't ask anything." he said. "Who... Who are you?" I said. "Yuuri-san, my beloved. I love you..." "Am I... dreaming?" "Please, Yuuri-san... find me quick!" We shared a kiss through the vivarium glass.
POV=Hippo
It was morning. I ran to Yuuri. "Where did you go off to?!" she said, "I looked for you everywhere and couldn't find you." "Sorry!" I said, "I suddenly remembered something I had to do." They then saw two dolphins. "Momo-chan!" "Prince, Thank you so much." He telepathically communicated, "I found my mom, thanks to you!" "Good for you." I said. "I see!" said Yuuri, "You're happy to see mom again, aren't you?" "You really do understand what they're saying, don't you?" I said. "I can feel them." she said, "It's not words, it's just... somehow." I looked at Yuuri. "Yuuri-san," I thought, "Can you feel my emotions too, and not only Momo-chan's feelings?" She looked at me. I blushed. "N-Nothing!" "Now,go on ahead home." she said to Momo-chan, "Don't leave your mother's side again." she continued. "You know how sad it is when you have to be apart from someone you love." I gasped. "That's right..." I watched Momo-chan swim away. "Bye, Momo-chan! Take care!" "Let's meet again in the ocean, Momo-chan." I thought. I noticed Yuuri stare off into the distance. "The one Yuuri-san has eyes for isn't me, but the other me..." I thought, "Would my wish ever come true?"
Episode 6: Love of a candle
POV=Gaito
I was taking a bath. Maria walked up to me. "Thanks for coming, Maria." I said. "Of course, that's my mission." said Maria. "Only that?" Maria put her arm on Gaito. "You mean, as always. You know that it's not the only reason." I said. "I heard... that you still haven't captured the second Pearl Princess." "The remaining Princesses will come to me eventually..." I said, "Right now, we're only attacking them..." "But up to now," Maria said, "Those trying to catch the Pearls haven't been competent enough, have they?" She took a rose from the bath and froze it with her ice powers. "Heh, you are cold-hearted." I said, "I'll be awaiting the good results." "Leave everything to me." said Maria, "I'll freeze the Pearls to their very souls, just like this ice."
POV=Hippo
At the Pearl, me and Hanon were interested in a story. "A legend of human love?" I said "What's that?" said Hanon. "It's a story of our distant ancestors." explained Nikora. "Long ago, there was a mermaid who loved a human. On the night of a big storm, she saw him get caught in raging waves. The candle that secretly loved him revealed her identity, even though she would turn into bubbles. She guided him safely to a cave on land." "To save someone you love, at the cost of your own life, how wonderful" I said. "Romantic!" "Although that cave is usually underwater, once a year, the tide drops, and you can go there." said Nikora. "Is that true?" I said. "Yeah, Also, if you burn an entire candle with you and your lover's name engraved on it, Without the flame dying, and inside the cave, mutual love will form!" "So that became the legend of human love..." said Hanon. "What day does the cave open up?" I said. "Yeah, when." "Its actually tomorrow!" We cheered. "She said tomorrow" "Lucky" "Oh yeah," I said, "What happened to them afterwards? Did her love work out with the young human man?" "No clue" said Nikora. "Well I guess, she turned into bubbles." I said. "But, it became a legend because she didn't become bubbles, right?" said Hanon. "That's gotta be it! They became lovers for sure, right?" I said. Just then, Madame Taki went in. "I can see. I can see. Far clearer than ever before, I can see..." she said, "The flame of the burning love candle." I grabbed the crystal ball. "I wonder if the candle of love is for Yuuri-san and I?" I said. Hanon snatched the ball off me. "That's stupid. It's obviously the candle of love for Tarou-chan and I!" she said. "Its mine!" "No, its mine!" "It's mine!" "Jeez, don't fight over such stupid things." said Nikora, "It'll be fine if you just burn the candle together..." "I guess!" I said. "I guess so..." said Hanon. She handed it over to me. "Well then, I'll give this to Hippo." she said. I pushed it over to Hanon. "I don't need it anymore, it's so heavy!" I said. "I said I'm giving it to you!" "I don't need it"
POV=Yuuri
I was rollerskating when I heared Hippo call my name. I looked at him. She has the same aura as the Penguin. "I thought you'd be here." he said. "Hippo..." "Yuuri-san?" questioned Hippo. I stared at Hippo. "Just my imagination?" I thought. "What's wrong Yuuri-san?" asked Hippo. "Eh, It's nothing..." I said, "Don't you have something else to do instead of coming to the beach?" "You're a guy with lots of free time, aren't you?" I continued, "Or could it be that you just wanted to see me that badly? Kidding!" Hippo blushed. "I DON'T HAVE FREE TIME!" he shouted, "I'm going to the legendary cave tomorrow!" "Ah, the cave of the candle legend, right?" said Yuuri. "Yuuri, You know about the Mermaid Legend?" he asked. "A legend, eh?" he said. Just then, it was raining. "Ah crap, it started raining." I said. I picked up my bag. "There's an unused room nearby. Let's go!" "Wait up Yuuri-san!" Hippo said.
At the unused room, Hippo was shivering because his clothes got wet. "Take of your clothes." I said, "If you don't, you'll catch a cold." I threw a towel at Hippo. "Here, use this." "Uhh, thanks?" said Hippo. I took of my dress. Good thing I had my red dress. I remembered how I saw a penguin. "Hey." I said, "Actually, earlier I saw the singing penguin in you for an instant..." Hippo gasped and blushed. "But I must be wrong." I said, "There is no way that you could be the same person... No way right?" "What an idiot!" shouted Hippo. I looked at him. "You don't understand love at all!" Hippo said, "A singing penguin like him could only be an illusion! How can such a guy exist anyway!?" I pinned him to a wall. "Even though he can't exist, you always think about him!" he shouted, "It's weird. Yuuri-san, you're weir-!" I kissed him. He slapped me.
POV=Hippo
I regretted doing that. When the rain cleared up, I sat outside "Why? Why? Why did you do that so suddenly?" I thought. "I don't understand at all!" Just then, Rina came. "Hippo?" "Oh, you." I said, "I don't need more problems." "Relax, I'm here to help." When the sun rised, The two of us were sitting on the pier. "So you fought with Yuuri over that?" said Rina. "Yeah, I just don't understand girls..." "That demon... she's so popular she thinks she can do anything..." Rina said, "That guy is-" "Stop!" I interrupted, "Yuuri-san isn't the only bad one. I said something really mean too..." Rina stopped. "I heard from Hanon. You two are going to the legendary cave right?" Rina said, "Well, If you burn the candle flame, it'll be alright." "Yeah, you're right!" I said, "I'll do my best!"
The next day, me and Hanon were standing at the entrance of the cave. "So this is the legendary cave?" I said. "Lots of girls have come, haven't they?" said Hanon. We heard a group of girls. "Hey, did you hear the story at the shop?" "Yeah" "Thanks to this cave, last year, she was able to confess to the guy she loved for a long time." "My friend said that if you write a letter after burning an entire candle, your lover will say okay." Hanon smiled. "It seems a lot like the Mermaid Legend, doesn't it?" she said. "Yeah..." I said. "What's wrong?" said Hanon. "The mermaid, like me, in love with a human... What happened to her love?" I thought. "We've come this far, and all you can do is just think indecisively about it!" said Hanon, "I guess it's because you're so mindless!" "What do you mean by that!?" Hanon held up two candles. "This, mine is blue and the pink one is yours." "Hanon-san..." "If you're slow and someone else burns a candle with Yuuri's and their name engraved on it, it's not my fault." said Hanon. "No, that'll be bad." We giggled. "Thank you, Hanon-san." I thought, "I'll put all my love into this candle!"
When we were at the cave they saw many girls light candles. "Wow, there are so many candles here!" I said. "Pretty!" said Hanon. "Hey Hippo, did you ever imagine that a candle could be this pretty?" "I wonder if it's pretty because all those girls put their hearts into these candles..." I said. "I guess so, all those girls feelings are living here..." said Hanon. I placed my candle down. She written "Yuuri" and "Hippo" on it. Hanon did similar, except she engraved "Tarou-chan" and "Hanon" We lit the candles. "Please, legendary mermaid, even though I've been fighting with Yuuri," I prayed, "Please watch over out love."
We walked out of the cave. I noticed Yuuri. Just then, Hanon pushed me down. "Just go!" said Hanon. I blushed. "Jeez, Hanon-san doesn't think about how I feel." I ran over to Yuuri. "But why is Yuuri-san here?" I thought, "She made fun of the legend yesterday, and I even said that terrible thing..." I remembered when I said "You don't understand love at all! A singing gem like her could only be an illusion! How can such a girl exist anyway!?" and when Yuuri kissed me. I spoke up. "Why are you being quiet Yuuri-san?" She looked at me. She did not look happy. "Hey Yuuri-san, I..." Just then, storm clouds came. A thunderbolt struck. "Are you okay, Hippo-san?" Yuuri asked. "Yuuri-san..." We stared at each other for some time. It started snow winding. "What's happening?" I said. "The candle!" I was just about to run when Yuuri stopped her. "Wait Hippo!" said Yuuri "Where are you planning to go?" "The candles flame will go out!" "I understand, I will go!" She ran off. "Yuuri-san!" Hanon came up. "At this rate, hail will be blown into the cave..." I said. "It was sunny just a bit ago, how could a storm begin so quickly?" said Hanon. "Could this be..." I thought, "their handiwork..." "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" Me and Mizuiro saw a water demon. "Cut it out!" I said. "You finally appeared, Pearl Princesses." said the demon. "Everyone put their wishes into the candles inside this cave!" I said, "I won't let you have your way!" "Wishes?" the demon asked, "Love that won't ever be fulfilled? What Crap!" "'What crap' you say!? I dare you to tease us again." "Oh, I'll say it as much as you want... What crap! What crap!" She shot an ice beam at us but we dodged. I spoke up "Now I'm pissed. Everyone's trying to make their love work out! I won't forgive you for laughing! I will NOT lose to someone who bullies love! Let's Pitchi Pitchi Voice cheer them on!"

Just then, Rina in idol form came up. "Stop trying to prove yourself!" I said, "You called Yuuri-san a Demon so I won't forgive" "Me neither!" "But-" "No buts" I said. We were arguing so much that the demon left.
I brought Yuuri onto a cliff. I tried waking her up. "Hippo-sama!" "Thank goodness, you're still alive" I said. "H-Hey, Hippo!" "Sorry!" Then I apologised. "Yuuri-san, even though I said all that mean stuff yesterday, you protected my candle... Thank you." I blushed. We looked down at the candles, specifically, the pink one. We walked home together. "But I never you had someone you liked!" said Yuuri. "You saw his name, didn't you?" I said. "Maybe..." said Yuuri. She looked at the sunset. "It looks like tomorrow will have a nice weather too." she said, ignoring my question. "So, did you see it?" "There will be some nice waves." "Come on, did you see?" "Well, I guess I'll go home and repair my skates." I chased after him. "Yuuri-san, you meanie!"
I wanna believe that the legendary mermaid love will come true for sure.
Episode 7: A penguins Jelousy
POV=Hippo
It was English class but I wasn't listening. I noticed Yuuri dozing off. When the bell rang, I went over to him. "Yuuri-san, you look exhausted lately." I said "You were even sleeping a while ago." "Class is just dull..." I said. "Yeah, I wonder why we even have to come..." I suddenly left saying "Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Hanon went up. "What's wrong Hippo?" she asked, "Got into a little tiff with Yuuri-san." "I wonder if I said something that made her angry..." I said. "Do you suppose he's got a boyfriend." I teased. "Actually, I saw her walking with a cool guy while ago." Hanon continued. "W-With who?" I said. "No clue, But he was older than her." I said. "I saw him too!" said Kengo. "She was walking with him to the rink!" Kengo continued. "I saw it too" said Daichi. "They were enjoying tea together!" "So they kind of looked like lovers, didn't they?" said someone else. "HOW VEXING!" the group said. I was in shock "L-Lovers!?"
After school, I talked to Taki-san. "Here it comes, Here it comes..." she said. "How is it, Taki-san?" I said. "It says this love is lifelong." answered Madame Taki. "Isn't love usually lifelong." I said, "Don't you have something more concrete?" "Then I'll try another method." said Taki. She whacked me with a mallet and pulled some fur out of me. "As I thought, a disaster at sea will take place..." Seriously?
POV=Eriru
I was flying around. "Izuru, Maria, and me, Everyone got beaten by the Mermaid Princesses once." I Transformed into battle form. "Now is the true fight to win Gaito-sama's Heart!" "What's wrong, Eriru." said a voice. I turned around "Ahh! Gaito-sama!" "That scary look tells me you must've thought of some good way to catch the Pearls!" said Gaito. I turned back normal. "I have thought of a good way to capture them, but..." I shrugged. "All that's left then is to capture them." said Gaito. "That's right! That's right!" "Then I'll tell you something nice." said Gaito. He showed me a green gem. "Ah! What a pretty gem!" I said. "It was discovered in the North Atlantic." said Gaito. "The North Atlantic?" I questioned. Gaito then showed a boat. "While this passenger boat is anchored in harbor, it's open for the general public to view." he continued. "I get it. You like this gem, right?" I said. "The Princesses will surely be interested in that gem." he said. "I get it!" I said, "When the Pearl Princesses come to see it, all I have to do is capture them!" "Yes." "Well then, I'm off! Wait for the good results, Gaito-sama" I left
POV=Hippo
I decided to spy on Yuuri-san. I tracked her to a vending machine and a park. The first one, she was just giving directions and the other one, the girl isn't even Yuuri. "At this rate, I'll be totally lost. I think I'm starting to imagine seeing Yuuri-san's shadow and hearing her footsteps" Yuuri said "Well, if it isn't Hippo-san!" "It's true... I am hearing her voice subconsciously..." I said. "What are you saying?" I turned around. "What are you doing here" Yuuri said. I stumbled on my words. Then an older guy came up. "Yuuri-chan, who's this guy?" he said. "A classmate. His name is Hippo" she answered. "I see, just a classmate." said the older boy, "I thought she was your boyfriend for sure." He grabbed onto Yuuri. "Come on, Yuuri-chan, let's go!" the guy said, "I really wanna treasure our time together!" "Okay, see ya Hippo!" said Yuuri. He left with the older guy. "'I really wanna treasure our time together", could... could this be!?" I thought. The guy glared at me. "Yuuri-san..."
At the rink, I watched Yuuri teaching the guy how to surf. The guy said "Hey, Yuuri-chan, do you have a boyfriend!?" "Not really..." "What kinda boys do you like?" she continued, "I think you'll look best with an older guy." Yuuri ignored him "Let's practice here." she said. "Those two really seem like staking friends" I said. I tripped. The guy then noticed me. He smiled. "That boy..." A few minutes later, they were still practicing. The older guy fell onto Yuuri. "Are you okay?" said Yuuri. "How am I, Yuuri-chan?" said the older guy, "Older guys are great, aren't they?" I left shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Hn, with an older guy, now?" said Hanon. "She's doing pretty well." she added. "Hanon-san, this isn't the time to be admiring her!" I said. "If you like him, why don't you snatch him away!" said Hanon, "If it was me, that's what I'd do." "I can't do that!" I complained. The next day at school, I was just lying down on her desk. Yuuri went up to her saying "Hippo." "Yuuri-san!" "Are you free after school?" she continued. "After school?" "Wanna go see a gem called the Mermaid's Eye? I scored two tickets!" said Yuuri. "With me?" "Sure!" "Y-You're okay with me?" I asked. "You're being strange. Do you have something to do?" asked Yuuri. "No, that's fine." "Then it's decided!" She left. I smiled. "Yuuri-san!" After school, I met up with Hanon at the school roof. "I guess he was just one of her skating friends!" I said. "You can't be sure!" said Hanon. "Why?" "She might be just two timing you..." said Hanon. "Yuuri-san wouldn't do that!" I said. "But it might be a good chance to find out if she has a boyfriend." said Hanon. "A good chance?" "To ask him if he wants you or the other boy!" said Hanon. "If I ask him that, she'll hate me!"
POV=Yuuri
That evening, me and Hippo were at that passenger cruise. They just entered when Ryo came in and said "You're late, Yuuri-chan!" "Ryo-kun, why are you here?" I said. "I had a reservation for dinner, Yuuri-chan." "Wait a minute, dinner?" I asked. I saw Ryo whisper something to Hippo's ear. Hippo ran away. "Hippo, wait!" I said as I ran after Hippo, "I said wait!" "Let go!" he shouted, "That's what you were planning from the start!" I gasped. "Why don't you just go eat dinner with Ryo-san!?" "There is no dinner." "DO WHAT YOU WANT!" shouted Hippo, then he left. "Hippo!" But Ryo grabbed me saying "Come on, let's go to the restaurant, Yuuri-chan!"
POV=Rina
I looked at the Mermaid's eye. "So it was the one from my country..." I thought. I remembered how the Mermaid's Eye ruled the North Atlantic kingdom until suddenly, there was an attack and the Mermaid's eye disappeared. Just then, the lights turned off. "This is..." I saw Eriru grab the Mermaid's Eye. "The Mermaid's Eye is mine now!" she said. She flew past a bunch of guards. I went after her. I ran past Hippo. "Hippo?" she said. "Rina-san!" Hippo said. "Come with me!" I continued to chase Eriru. She turned around. "Oh goody! You finally showed up, Mermaid Princess" she said. "Shut up and return my Stone!" I said. "No way. I'm gonna give this to Gaito-sama!" said Eriru. Just then, I saw Hippo. "Rina-san!" he said "I already have my relationship ruined so I don't want you to ruin it more!" "Hippo!" "Pink Pearl Voice!" So I did same. "Green Pearl Voice!" He started singing. "Pitchi Pitchi Voice Live start!" "Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta" I noticed he wasn't singing at Eriru. Wait, is he singing at me? "It won't go so well for you" said Eriru, "Since this is MY stage!" She then pressed an emergency button to play loud music. Eriru turned back normal. "I wonder why I'm so good!" she said, "This way, I can't hear you at all!" "What is this!?" shouted Hippo. I knew what I had to do! I broke the emergency button. The music stopped. Hanon came. "Mizuiro-san!" said Hippo. "Seriously. Stop calling me that!" she said, "Anyways, I came here because I was worried about your date." "Wait, How did you-?" "Whatever," I said. Hanon looked at me. "Oh, you" "What! It's true!" "I don't know what you're arguing about!" said Eriru, "You know what? I'm leaving!" She left. "Oh Come on! Every time I battle a demon, they leave without me singing!"
POV=Yuuri
The power at the ship turned back on. Ryo was clinging onto me. I pushed him off. "It's fine now." said I. I left. "Yuuri-chan!" said Ryo. I looked for Hippo, But Ryo continued clinging onto me. "Oh leave that boy alone. We can finally be alone now!" he said. I pushed away Ryo. "So that's what you wanted from the beginning!" I said, "And gave me two tickets!" "It's okay! He's not your boyfriend of anything right?" said Ryo. "I already have someone I like." I said. "Eh?" said Ryo. I looked out of the deck. "Like the Mermaid's eye, he has pretty eyes." I said. "Hey, I've never heard that you had someone you liked!" said Ryo. "There's no need for me to tell you." I said, "I was only asked to teach you skating by the rink owner." "What!?" shouted Ryo, "I'm older than you! How can you reject me!?" He slapped me and left. I then heard a twinkling noise followed by a splash. "Where are you now?" I said.
The next day at school, I walked up to Hippo. "Yo, Hippo-san!" "Yuuri-san." "Sorry about yesterday... and that..." "It's fine now!" he said, "More importantly..." He looked at me. "What is it?" "When you look into my eyes," said Hippo, "Don't you notice something?" I joked, "Yeah, I see a pretty cute girl reflected in them. Hehehe" We walked to school. I noticed Hippo was smiling.
Me: I'm pretty sure that's the last time that will happen
Gaster: What do you mean?
Me: You'll see
Gaster: Also, I noticed you swapped Ayaka and Ryo
Me: Yes, Yes I did.
