She Is a Beauty

Fina and the others were late because Fina had been searching for shells in the sand the entire way, hoping to find pearls in them. Old Time Tea was not in a hurry, either; it appreciated the scenery along the way. Snowy Lionet was just interested in flattering Fina.

To Fina's disappointment, there were many shells hidden in the sand, but none of them had a pearl inside.　　

Famous was waiting for them at the cape to warn them about touching the dangerous animals.　　

The wet rocks didn't bother them too much, as they had much better balance than human beings did.　　

If anyone were to see the mermaid floating in the water with only her head and neck out, they would think she was human. Thus, Fina and the others were astonished, indeed. With so many dangerous sea creatures about, surely nobody would be stupid enough to stay in the water.　　

They then noticed her dark green, curly, long hair floating on the water like seaweed. It was such a rare color and very unlike human hair.
