Mermaid Melody: The Thorn Crown Beneath the Sea Fog

As a die-hard fan of Nanami Lucia, the elf Isabella Nolan has never been able to tolerate the despicable Amagi Miiru. Taking advantage of Dōmoto Kaito’s amnesia, Miiru swooped in and trampled Lucia’s sincere feelings again and again with her provocations. To get justice for Lucia, Isabella transmigrates into the world of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch 2 with her elf magic, taking the alias “Mitarai Momoka” and devising a “fake redemption” tailored just for Amagi Miiru.

By day, she is a gentle and considerate “best friend,” listening to Miiru’s grievances while deliberately offering “advice” that worsens her conflicts with Lucia, Hanon, and Rina, making her seem increasingly obsessive in everyone’s eyes. By night, she transforms into an elf and slips into Miiru’s dreams, using illusions to recreate her loneliness and resentment. Then she offers the false promise, “I’ll help you become someone truly special,” making Miiru dangerously dependent on this “redemption.”

Unexpectedly, another transmigrator, Qi Shengmin, alias Kudō Shōko, enters the scene with a mysterious white seashell necklace and tarot cards. She hates Miiru too, but prefers a more direct approach: exposing Miiru’s schemes in public and making her embarrass herself while showing off. She becomes the sharpest weapon in Isabella’s “fake redemption” plan.

The two strike a temporary alliance. One weaves a web with kindness, while the other pierces through it with sharp words, gradually pushing Amagi Miiru to the brink between hope and despair. Just when Miiru thinks she can finally earn everyone’s approval with the help of her “best friend,” Isabella tears off every disguise in front of Lucia and the others, shattering the truth of her “redemption” along with Miiru’s entire world.
