Behind every immersive romance game that human players enjoy is a real fish working hard to put on a show!

Then one day, a boy who looks exactly like the little mermaid appears beside the head of the rival game company.
Players: ...Wait! Isn't that the mermaid I was in love with, who died years ago?
