So, are you afraid that others might snatch this treasure, and that's why you were forced to come ashore?"
"No! Mermaids can only come ashore with the 'Harmonious Pearl'!" The Mermaid's flustered expression was evident even to a fool: "Without this kind of pearl, we'd dehydrate and die shortly after coming ashore!"
