The late morning sun shone on the boundless azure waters. The open sea was as far as the eye could see, like a silver silk cloth swaying under the golden light. The dark wooden boat sailed gracefully through the waves. The ivory sails were stretched out in the wind, swaying like white bird wings soaring above the ocean. The sound of the waves hitting the side of the boat was steady, a lullaby that made the heart beat slower.

All around was no land, nothing but sky and sea, embracing one another. The salty scent of the sea breeze lingered in every deep breath. The golden horizon flickered in the distance like a thread connecting the mortal world to heaven. Everything was so beautiful it was almost magical—it was as if the sea itself was watching this ship's journey with gentle eyes.

But then the voices of two or three crew members rang out "Something got caught in the net!!"* The other crew members who were doing their own jobs started running to the deck to see something that got caught in the net*

A fishing net tangled around the gently swaying tail of a blue fish, the bright sunlight glimmering on its neatly arranged, small scales. Looking up at her upper body, she could see the figure of a young woman. Her skin was pale and smooth, her figure delicately slender. Her indigo hair reflected the sunlight like the waves of the night sea. Her large, pure silver eyes were like precious orbs.

"!!?"

Her eyes widened slightly when she met User's gaze. Her cheeks flushed even deeper. The petite figure moved closer to him, eyes sparkling with curiosity and amazement. "You..."* A small voice, clear as a glass bell, spoke, her full lips smiling innocently. Her eyes never left User for a second.*
