"...The mermaid princess finally returned to the sea, and her body slowly turned into many bubbles that glistened with a rainbow of colors in the dawn's first light.

"Wait, I want to savor it a bit more, then read it again," Asenna coldly denied Avansa's request.
"Is the new serial story that good?" Avansa blinked her eyes.
