‘What else is bothering the prince?‘ Leeanne mused. ‘Right, he ran away from home. At his age, that usually means he quarreled with his parents.

‘And in his note, he said he loved his mom, but she didn’t love him. So that’s probably where I should start. I have to figure out how to bring it up without sounding too abrupt.‘

After a moment’s thought, Leeanne’s expression turned troubled.

The merman prince noticed and asked, “Leeanne, is something bothering you?”

Leeanne let out a sigh. “I miss my brother. When we were kids, we used to argue all the time, but as we got older and started to understand each other, things got a lot better between us.

“Then life got busy, and we hardly saw each other anymore. A few months ago, my brother just disappeared.”

Her brother hadn’t just disappeared. It was a plane crash. For a long time, she’d believed he was gone.

Leeanne wasn’t making any of this up. It was all true.

She and her brother hadn’t always gotten along. She’d had her share of rebellious moments, too.

She couldn’t vent her rebelliousness on her elderly grandparents, so her brother, just a bit older than her, became the target. They had their share of arguments and rough patches.

Later, her brother got married, and she became swamped with work. They barely saw each other anymore. When the plane crash happened, Leeanne was devastated. She buried herself in work, trying to dull the pain.

Thinking about it, Leeanne felt her nose twitch, and tears slipped down her cheeks.

She was about to continue when, to her surprise, the merman prince’s eyes filled with tears as well. He said quietly, “My sister and I were just like that. She… She disappeared…”

‘Wait, what?‘ Leeanne was stunned. Her tears stopped instantly, and the sadness that had been weighing on her vanished in a heartbeat

‘Finally, I’m getting to it!‘ she thought, excitement bubbling up inside her. ‘This is a big deal!”

The merman prince’s expression was bleak. “My sister fought with me, fought with our mom, and then she ran away from home.”

‘Wow, both the sister and the brother ran away from home,‘ Leeanne thought, feeling kinda sorry for that poor mother,

“Two rebellious kids? That’s a real handful,‘ she sighed inwardly.

The merman prince spoke softly, “I’ve been searching for her, but just can’t find her. She must be avoiding me.”

Leeanne jumped in, “Hey, want me to help you track her down?”

The prince blinked in surprise, and Leeanne quickly explained. She might be hiding from you, but she doesn’t know me at all, so she won’t have any reason to avoid me. Let me help you find her.”

The prince’s frown relaxed. “Are you sure it’s not too much to ask?”

Leeanne grinned. “That’s what friends are for, right? Don’t worry about it. Leave it to me!”

She seized the moment and said, “Just tell me what your sister looks like, and I’ll help you look for her.”

The merman prince fell into reminiscence. “My sister… She’s beautiful. Her hair is just like mine, long and pale blue. Her skin’s a bit tanner than mine. She’s a very naughty girl.

“Her tail is really long, and even when we were little, she could always outswim me.”

Leeanne quietly observed the merman prince.

She couldn’t help but wonder, “Why is he reminiscing just to describe his sister’s looks? Shouldn’t he be able to say it straigh

out?

The merman prince continued, “Oh, and she always wears a pearl necklace with a big orange gemstone pendant. You’ll kno it when you’see it.”

The characteristics were already quite obvious.

Leeanne nodded. “Alright. Got it.”

After thinking for a bit, she asked, “Where does your sister like to go?”

The merman prince paused, then said, “She… She likes dark places, and she loves pearls.”

Lecanne wanted to know more, so she asked, “Anything else?”

The merman prince hesitated, then said, “My sister’s got a bit of a temper. If you run into her, contact me right away. Don’t let yourself get hit by her.”

With that, he handed Leeanne a purple shell about the size of her palm. “Just speak into the shell, and I’ll hear you. I’ll rush over as soon as I can.”

Leeanne took the purple shell. “Got it!”

She figured that as long as she helped the prince find his sister, his affection meter for her would easily break 60.

‘Gotta do this right!‘ Leeanne thought.

Suddenly, Little Blue let out a panicked squawk. “My feathers! My feathers! Oh no, I’m bald! I’m bald!”

Leeanne turned around and saw Little Blue go limp and flop over, feathers all over the place. It got plucked bald fighting the man–eating shark.

The Evolution Pill had worn off, and now Little Blue would be weak for the next twelve hours.

‘Oh no, looks like Little Blue’s going to be bald for who knows how long, Leeanne thought, feeling helpless.

After all, it was going to be really tough for Little Blue to evolve to the next stage now.

Little Blue was even missing a tail feather, so even if it got through the weak period, it wouldn’t be able to fly properly.

Leeanne quickly scooped Little Blue into her arms, trying to soothe it. Little Blue didn’t care about its appearance, but it did care about whether it could fly freely and smoothly, so it kept whimpering.

If Leeanne hadn’t covered its beak, it would’ve started ranting and complaining all over again.

The merman prince glanced over, pulled out his harp, and said, “Want me to help it out?”

Leeanne blinked in surprise. “How?”

The merman prince had already begun to play his harp.

The music was similar to the “Misty Morning” he had played before, soft and melodious. Leeanne listened, totally swept away by the sound.

When the song finished, Little Blue squawked, “Hey, my feathers are back! I’m not bald anymore! Aha, I’m fine again. Woohoo!

Leeanne grabbed its beak right on time.

‘Honestly, Little Blue really shouldn’t be allowed to talk. Leeanne thought. ‘If it keeps squawking, it’ll totally ruin the merman prince’s good impression of it.

‘After all, the merman prince is so classy and gentle. There’s no way he can stand that kind of crude language.

The merman prince gave a gentle smile. “Glad your friend’s feeling better. I need to go, Leeanne. I’ll be waiting to hear your good news.”

With a flick of his tail, the Cloudship Raft faded away, and he took off riding his giant shell.

Leeanne and Little Blue tumbled right into the ocean. Thankfully, Leeanne was quick on the draw and managed to stash Little Blue in the Pet Pouch before it got completely drenched. Otherwise, the poor thing would’ve been a soggy mess.

Leeanne plunged beneath the waves.

She had no clue how far she was from her raft now, so all she could do was wait for the summons.

After shooting Maeve a quick message, she got summoned back to the raft.

At this moment, it was just lunchtime. Leeanne finished her lunch and finally had time to check the chat channel.
