"Hey." When it was almost closing, I took something into The Loser.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EfqCavomA
The part-timer raised her head and looked at me with a strange expression.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX5Zg0rXdA
"So late today."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jsUALoZTC
"Um." I sat where I used to sit. "I'm sending you home for the last time."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PVu3TQvFu
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?"88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VMgWVC5jE
"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."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhYQDL2mPY
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP5Gz28gRl
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr2Szqdufv
"Hey, hey, hey! Haven't you left yet?" Camel saw me and threw the rag in his hand towards me.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrosfIV0rZ
"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.

She smiled.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDKa0QWkki
