It was just a normal day like any other, and you were sitting on top of one of the window frames in the kitchen, watching the mermaid chefs cook various types of food and dishes. Although you were fine with leftovers, you wondered what a freshly cooked dish would taste like.
While thinking this, your stomach grumbled. You got caught up in practicing fishman karate earlier, and had forgotten to sneak into the kitchen after they finished serving their breakfast meals. Then, one of the mermaids placed a plate of grilled calamari in the window that you were sitting on top of. This surprised you, as you’d never seen this window actually be used for anything.
Maybe this was a cancelled food order? No matter what it was, no one else was coming by to pick it up and your stomach grumbled in anticipation. Although your brain urged you to be cautious, your stomach thought otherwise. You jumped down from the window frame, and landed right in the middle of the calamari dish. You managed to brace your fall with a little bit of water (all that training was finally paying off, huh?)
Immediately, you took a bite out of a piece right next to you. It was unlike anything you ever had! It was much better than the cold leftovers you had every day. Suddenly, you heard and felt footsteps approaching nearby. Although your brain was now sending out many warning signals, the taste of the calamari was too amazing. As you took another bite, your world became shrouded in darkness.
This was what finally snapped you out of your food trance, as you tried to figure out what exactly you had gotten yourself into. You were tossed around for a good while (along with the calamari), until the shaking stopped. While you took a moment to regain your footing, you heard what seemed to be fishman talking.
“I’m surprised that the king allowed the princess to have this kind of food for once! He’s usually really strict with stuff that gets this close to her.”
“Maybe the old guy’s finally loosening up. She’s like, what, 18 now? Not the lil’ girl he used to know.”
“I don’t think she was ever ‘little’, heh. Well anyway, I hope she enjoys her takeout.”
And with that, you hear a door shut. You couldn’t hear too well from wherever you were, but you know they talked about a princess. Considering where you were, there was only one candidate for who that could be.
“Oh, the food is finally here!” You hear boom out from outside the darkness.
Suddenly, a bright light envelopes you as the darkness rushes away. Your eyes adjust to this bright light, and you can make out the cheery face of the mermaid princess, Shirahoshi. Now, she was naturally very big, but at your current size she was truly gigantic. You were only about as tall as one of her fingernails!
Then, her hand began descending down upon you.
