"Hey." When it was almost closing, I took something into The Loser.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm8iL8H0ro
The part-timer raised her head and looked at me with a strange expression.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkdlm5ILfT
"So late today."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusgJlh4gAU
"Um." I sat where I used to sit. "I'm sending you home for the last time."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQJaRaZv9
She said "oh" meaninglessly and put a glass of plain water in front of me.
"What’s that?" She pointed to the box I brought with her eyes.
"For you."
"Oh?" She said. "What is it?"
"Shoes for the mermaid."
"What mermaid?" She was a little confused. "Who is the mermaid?"93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4TSYGhcPK
"You. You are as beautiful as a mermaid."
“Hmmm…? But, why did you buy me shoes?”
I squinted my eyes. "I hope you can get out of these gloomy days." I said slowly and sincerely. "The cold, dark day, like living in the bottom of deep ocean."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6aMtXIJtC
She looked at me. The lights in the bar were dim, and after looking at her for a long time, I gradually couldn't see clearly what she was looking at. I'm not sure whether she understands. The time passed silently. The sound of our breathing becomes softer, and the view in front of us becomes blurred and grainy. I thought perhaps something was moving subtly, and I felt as if an angel is about to descend.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N4JYZTAfo
She slowly leaned forward, closed her eyes, and touched the tip of her nose to mine.
My eyelids lost strength and closed gently. I felt her breath.
I saw that the mermaid had begun to fading her fin.

I walked into The Loser in the evening.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA2SXlo9zp
"Hey, hey, hey! Haven't you left yet?" Camel saw me and threw the rag in his hand towards me.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkH0PaJf0f
"Uhhhh! On endless vacation──" I said while dodging.
The part-timer put on new shoes and was cleaning. She raised her head when she heard the noise and looked at me.
