At the Headquarters of the Slayers.

Sanemi went to the hot springs with the other pillars, annoyed that Sabito refused to get in the water. He ended up dropping it in the water and he later discovered that the water pillar had a...fishtail!

Sabito later revealed that he was half-mermaid and had Shinobu do some exams intrigued by his metabolism.

Sanemi noticed that Sabito looked thoughtful and asked, What's going on?

Sabito raised his head and replied: It's just that I miss the village and it must have been 2 years since I saw my little brother at heart.

Sanemi: If you want, ask Master for permission to go.

Sabito: Thank you Sanemi!

After receiving permission, they went to the village of Sabito.

They arrived on a beach where the moon reflected on the surface of the water. As they began to discuss about the village, they heard a shout come from behind the rocks.

Immediately they ran to the place to see and Sanemi was amazed by what he had just seen.

In front of him was a merman with long raven hair, white skin and sky blue eyes as his tail was surrounded by demons, one of whom was holding both his hands and a second his tail. Behind the demons they saw a kind of big jar twice the size of a human filled with water.

Triton: Let go of me! , he begged, trying to free himself from the two demons.

Demon 1: Sorry but our lord wants to see you.

Sabito, who was next to Sanemi, threw himself on the demons, screaming: Leave my little brother alone!

Two slashes later the stunned heads of the demons fell and crumbled. Sabito put away his saber and took in his arms the newt who was starting to cry with relief.

The newt: Sabito!

Sabito: Don't worry, I'm here little brother.

Sabito turned his head towards Sanemi who was petrified by the situation and said in a relieved voice: This is Giyuu Tomioka, my little brother.

Giyuu: Good evening, he said with a shy voice and closing his eyes.

Sanemi: Good evening, nice to meet you, he said, regaining his composure and blushing a little since he thought Giyuu was magnificent.
