One day during school holiday, Nagasumi is going to the beach with his parents. The beach is located in his father's hometown, so they are staying at Nagasumi's grandmother's house for the trip. Nagasumi's father is very excited to be back, and he also teases his son for his indifference, saying that Nagasumi is probably afraid of swimming.

Even though Nagasumi denies this, he is soon in trouble, as he drowns in the middle of the sea, where no one can hear him. No one that is, except San, the mermaid, his soon to be wife :D, who save his life.
