Niken gathered with the villagers to watch and enjoy the mermaid's performance. The mermaid's song was so enchanting, and they danced elegantly.
The singing voice, the musical instrument, was the same when Niken saw the performance with Kazuto and others in her era. The difference was there is no barrier in this place, and the human children can be free to play water with the mermaid who does not sing.
Jokes and laughter, warm and harmonious atmosphere so wondrous, made Niken not stop thinking how this atmosphere can change drastically in the future?
What made everything change? Niken still doesn't understand.
Niken was standing as she leaned her back against a tree a little away from the crowd. As she recalled, she did not feel any elemental energy in the people around her in her era. But now almost everyone who lives in this village has elemental power.
