How to Tame a Beautiful Mermaid

I'm an oceanographer, and my lifelong wish is to capture a mermaid. I never expected that during an ocean fishing expedition, I would actually catch one.

I was utterly captivated by his beauty, and his singing enchanted me, too. But no, as a scientist, I had to fulfill my mission.

So I began trying to tame the mermaid, taking the initiative to talk to him and communicate more, all in the name of scientific research.

Everything I did proved highly effective.

Seeing him grow more and more docile, even willingly cooperating with my research, letting me draw his blood, extract bone marrow and tissue fluid, and cut out samples, filled me with satisfaction.

I tamed a mermaid! I was overjoyed. This was a truly great achievement, and I was sure my name would go down in history!

But later, I realized that something seemed to be going wrong...

So he used himself as bait and deliberately plotted a meeting...
