"They have more in common than it seems," Miko thought in response to their companion's romantic and optimistic statement.
"You can, Emil-san. Even someone who seems so intimidating at first glance wouldn't raise a hand against a beautiful river maiden. He is kinder than he appears, and quite principled, and behind his harsh words lies politeness," she nodded in confirmation of her words. "But a mermaid? That's quite surprising. I've heard many stories about them, but I've never seen one myself."
Once upon a time, there was a fisherman,
Living by the very river,
And one day, he caught in his net,
A fish that was no ordinary one!
A beautiful maiden appeared,
Before him,
But his wife didn't understand the catch,
And the fisherman was left homeless!
Responding to the call of the song, a red-haired mermaid appears at the edge of the river.
