Hanon sees them walking together as they both enter school. When Hanon sees Luchia she immediately asks her what her and Kaito were talking about. As Luchia happily tells her that he has asked her out on a date, Hanon acts suprised.

Hanon hurries Luchia outside and tries and warns her about what could happen if Kaito finds out that she is a mermaid.

The girls start asking Kaito if he wants to go to a new store and Lucia leaves annoyed. Kaito calls after her but she ignores him.

Hanon arrives a the festival and looks for Luchia. Hanon remembers a flashback of Hippo telling her to look after Lucia. She sees Kaito and runs towards him. Without looking she bumps into a stranger. Hanon falls in love with him and he gives her one of the musical fish as an apology for bumping into her. Hanon happily thanks him for the fish. Luchia starts walking around the festival and Kaito manages to catch up with her. Luchia tells him to go back to those girls and then Kaito grabs her hand. He tells her that she is his date. They see the girls looking for Kaito. Kaito runs away with Lucia so they can't find them. He takes her to the inlet where Luchia saved him as a mermaid. He tells her about the beautiful mermaid he heard. Luchia starts singing off pitch because she hasn't transformed into a mermaid. She sings so she can try and show Kaito that she is the mermaid that saved him. Kaito tells Lucia to stop and then she hurries home alone. Kaito decides that it wasn't her that saved him. Kaito has a flashback of him and the mermaid.

Luchia is upset that she panicked when she started singing. Hanon sits on a rock and she is putting the fish back in the sea. Hanon jumps in the sea and day dreams about the stranger. The fish follows her and Eril finds Hanon. Eril grabs her and Lucia hears her screaming on shore. Eril ties Hanon up with seaweed. Eril fools Lucia into thinking that she is Hanon's friend. Luchia then transforms and starts singing. She then realises that Eril is friends with Izuru. She finishes her song and sees that Eril is not defeated. Eril tries to attack Luchia but she dodged out of the way. Hanon grabs the bandana off Eril's head and the seaweed is gone. Hanon then transforms and she and Luchia sing together and Eril starts changing moods frequently. Eril disapears when they nearly finished the song. They have a argument of who defeated Eril and giggle at the end.
