It was sunny day and Haru’s sitting on the big rock, enjoys the sunshine and slowly moves his fishtail on the water. Haru spend his day with boredness like usual. He didn’t feels like having any aim or something he wanted to do in his whole life. He’s just enjoys to see the scenery of the unlimited blue sky with the beautiful horizon line into the big huge ocean.

Life as a merman didn’t as colorful as we’re think about. People are making conclusion that mermaids are usually having pretty voice and within it, they are hypnotizing people who are on the ship and makes them got some accident. Some other people say that mermaid lives are full with dances and singing and everything sounded so cheerful. The reality are always not as pretty as we’re thinking about. Haru’s life as merman is quite ordinary. He spends his day to swim, swim and swim. Well it’s true that mermaids are good at singing but they are surely didn’t mean to hypnotize people who hear it.

Nanase Haruka, a merman who always think that his life is pretty boring. Even himself think that he’s life in a blur. He didn’t know what’s the meaning of his life and sure he didn’t have any passion to do in the future. Sometimes he got scared just by thinking about how future would turn alike. Haru’s still didn’t know what he’s gonna face. All the thing he do right now is enjoy the swim and he kinda love it.

Haru is sighing while he’s see nothing on the huge sea. It’s been happened like everyday that his place is being quiet as always. Sometimes he hear some noises from the passes birds, or the sound from the wave of the water but sure by living in a quiet world, sometimes he demands for lots of noise.

The day been passed, the blue sky has gone into darkness but Haru is still on the rock where he’s been sitting in day. Tonight is being different that the other night. A big luxury yacht come into the sea where he’s always swimming and Haru can hear it, the noises he’s been waiting for. He didn’t know what the sources of the voices he heard, like is it from the machine or peoples inside are yelling and enjoy singing or the other else. Haru is just simply enjoy that moment to fill his bored world.

Time keep walking and the noises from the yacht been reduced by now. Haru is actually going to back into the deep sea but then he notices something. He catch a pretty creature is standing on the yacht, wondering by himself and sees into nothing but the sea. Haru try to come closer into the yacht to see that person’s face. The pretty creature he is watching to is got shined by the calm light from the moon. It’s pretty, so much pretty that Haru gazed into that person more and more. That person is not wear a formal suits like the other one, he’s like using uniform with the color is blue. He has some tools on his wrist that Haru have no idea what is that. Later, Haru can hear that person is singing with his low voice.

Haru didn’t even notice that the skies aren’t that calm as before. He’s totally into the song that person is singing to. It was the prettiest voice he have ever heard. Not even him or the other mermaids might have that kind of pretty voices, Haru make sure to himself about how he love that voice and he’s totally fall into him.

Haru can feel how his chest is getting warm just by hear the song. He feels so calm that he’s jump into the sea and enjoy his swim with that song.
