Little Mermaid/Events

* **Otsuu:**Mmm... Mmm... (I wanted to see Princess, but wouldn't barging in to her room a bit tactless? Coming here every day may be too much for her, too...) Mmm... A good reason to visit her... Huh?!

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:**Hm? Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:**W-Well, hello there, Princess!
* **Little Mermaid:**Did you come to see me?
* **Otsuu:**Huh?! N-Not at all! I just happened to pass by
* **Little Mermaid:**Oh...?
* **Otsuu:**Uh... Th-That's right! I-I was just going to go back to my room!
* **Little Mermaid:** Um, you do know you already went past your room, right?
* **Otsuu:**Ah... Well... Th-That aside, how are things, Princess?! Were you planning on coming to see me, perhaps?
* **Little Mermaid:**Yup.
* **Otsuu:**Huh?!
* **Little Mermaid:**I wanted to talk with you, so it was a surprise seeing you here in front of my room.
* **Otsuu:**Uh, I see.
* **Little Mermaid:**It would've been great if you actually came by to see me.
* **Otsuu:**Urgh...!
* **Little Mermaid:**So, you're heading back, right? Mmm... Too bad.
* **Otsuu:**Uh, well...
* **Little Mermaid:**I would've been soooo happy if you said you came to talk to me.
* **Otsuu:**I give up! Yes! I came because I wanted to see you, Princess.
* **Little Mermaid:**Really?! Why didn't you say so earlier?! Come on in! Let me brew you some tea.
* **Otsuu:**As you command, my dear princess. I will follow you to your bidding. (Unbelievable... She toyed with my heart ever so easily...But, that is also what makes her so attractive. Taken advantage by love... An apt description of me indeed.)

### Event 2 - Blood Libido 1

*(Platform)*

* **Otsuu:**Wha-?! Is that... Princess?!

*(Scene transition)*

* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Otsuu:**(Thank goodness! I made it in time!)
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Otsuu:**(Aah... Her singing is so beautiful...)
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪ Ah... O-Otsuu?! Since when were you there?!
* **Otsuu:**I just came a short while ago.
* **Little Mermaid:**Aw... I thought you wouldn't notice.
* **Otsuu:**Do you think I wouldn't notice? I would follow you no matter where you would go.
* **Little Mermaid:**Oh, stop it...
* **Otsuu:**That aside, do you mind singing a bit more for me?
* **Little Mermaid:**Hey! Stop it with all your sweet talk! No more for you!
* **Otsuu:** That's quite unfortunate. But... are you sure about that? I'm sure you want to sing a bit more, yes?
* **Little Mermaid:**N-No...
* **Otsuu:**It's not good to lie. I've been with you for as long as forever. I know you're lying just by the expression on your face.
* **Little Mermaid:**Mmm... Fine... You really know how to tease others, don't you?
* **Otsuu:**I am still very much a child, you know? That's why I have this knack of teasing the girl I love.
* **Little Mermaid:**Hey...! Okay then. Just one song, though.
* **Otsuu:**Thank you, Princess.
* **Little Mermaid:**Mmm... Unbelievable... Breathe in... Breathe out... Okay... ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Otsuu:**...
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪

*(Enter Nightmare Jack)*

* **Nightmare Jack:**Ggh... Ssin...g... Ggh... Sson...g...
* **Otsuu:**Did you come to listen too, Jack?
* **Nightmare Jack:**Sson...g... Pr...ttee... Ggh...
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Nightmare Jack:**Ggh... Ggh... Ggh...
* **Otsuu:**Jack, are you dancing?
* **Nightmare Jack:**Ggh... Fah...n... Ggh...
* **Otsuu:**Heh, not bad at all.
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Otsuu:**You really are beautiful, Princess...
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪

### Event 3 - Blood Libido 2

*(Little Mermaid's Room)*

* **Otsuu:** Princess, it's me. Can I come in?
* **Little Mermaid:** Otsuu? Sure, come in.
* **Otsuu:** Excuse me...
* **Little Mermaid:** Hi Otsuu. What brings you here today?
* **Otsuu:** There's something I wanted to show you.
* **Little Mermaid:** Show what?
* **Otsuu:** This... I wrote some lyrics to the song you always sing.
* **Little Mermaid:** Really? You mind I take a look?
* **Otsuu:** Sure. I can only hope you'll like what I have there...
* **Little Mermaid:** Let's see... "My dear prince, your eyes gracing me fills my heart..."
* **Otsuu:** So, how is it? I wrote it based on the view of a prince.
* **Little Mermaid:** It actually sounds more like it's being read in the view of a princess.
* **Otsuu:** Huh? R-Really?
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh... But it's soooo like you.
* **Otsuu:** Do you think so?
* **Little Mermaid:** Thank you. I'm happy you went through the trouble to write this, but it's a bit embarrassing.
* **Otsuu:** Huh?! B-But why?!
* **Little Mermaid:** The lyrics are too cute for me...
* **Otsuu:** C-Cute...? S-So, you're telling me that my lyrics are as sweet as strawberries?

*(Enter Rapunzel)*

* **Rapunzel:** Super, super sweet strawberries!
* **Little Mermaid:** R-Rappy?!
* **Otsuu:** Wh-Where'd you come from?!
* **Rapunzel:** Fishy! Where sweets?! Rapunzel want some!
* **Little Mermaid:** Huh? S-Sweets? Oh, um... I don't have any with me now...
* **Rapunzel:** Huh? But, I hear sweet strawberries.
* **Otsuu:** Oh, it was just a comparison to the lyrics I wrote.
* **Rapunzel:** Huh? Sweets not food?
* **Little Mermaid:** Um... The sweets we were talking about is this...
* **Rapunzel:** What's this?
* **Otsuu:** It's words for a song. It's called "lyrics."
* **Rapunzel:** "My dear prince... your eyes... gracing... me fills... my heart... with... sweet choc...olates..."
* **Otsuu:** R-Rapunzel! Keep it down, will you?! (This is embarrassing!)
* **Little Mermaid:** How was it, Rappy?
* **Rapunzel:** Chocolate and strawberries tastes good!
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh, you're right. Just like Otsuu, nice and sweet.
* **Otsuu:** L-Like me?! Urrh... I'll be back next time with a piece befitting of a true prince!

*(Exit Otsuu)*

* **Little Mermaid:** She ran off...
* **Rapunzel:** Rapunzel wanna real sweets next time.

### Event 4 - Amiss and Reconciliation

*(Hallway)*

* **Otsuu:**(I finally got the bracelet I asked Takumi to make for me. Now, to find Princess... Where could she be?)

*(Enter Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and Rapunzel)*

* **Little Mermaid:**It's okay to play, but you really have to keep things a bit cleaner around here.
* **Cinderella:** I'm sorry...
* **Rapunzel:** Sorry, Fishy.
* **Little Mermaid:** Just be careful the next time. Now then, let's play.
* **Rapunzel:** You play with us?!
* **Little Mermaid:** That's because you apologized.
* **Cinderella:** I'm not a child, so I'm not that interested in playing...
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, too bad. And just when I wanted to play with you.
* **Cinderella:** B-But, if you really want to play then I suppose I can oblige!
* **Otsuu:** (She's there, but the timing isn't great with the others around. I think I'll wait a bit.)

*(Scene transition)*

* **Rapunzel:** Thanks, Fishy! So fun!
* **Cinderella:** Well, it wasn't as bad as I expected...
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup, let's play again next time!

(*Exit Cinderella and Rapunzel)*

* **Otsuu:** (Looks like they left happy.) Say, Princess...

*(Enter Kaguya)*

* **Kaguya:** Little Mermaid! I have a favor to ask!
* **Little Mermaid:** Huh? Kaguya, and Otsuu...?
* **Otsuu:** (Wha-?! Of all the times Kaguya has to intervene!)
* **Kaguya:** Oh, you're here too, Otsuu. Perfect timing. My room is quite messy now, and I was hoping you'd help.
* **Otsuu:** Clean your room yourself!
* **Kaguya:** Oh, but I do take pride that my room is so messy that no person can get the place clean.
* **Otsuu:** Uh, that's nothing you should be proud about...
* **Kaguya:** So how about it? Can you help? Oh, and I will repay you for helping me clean.
* **Little Mermaid:** I'm fine helping, but...
* **Otsuu:** Fine... You owe me one, got it?
* **Kaguya:** Thank you very much. I knew I could count on you too, Otsuu.
* **Otsuu:** \*sigh\* Oh well...

*(Kaguya's Room)*

* **Otsuu:** W-We have to clean this place up?
* **Little Mermaid:** There's nowhere to step...
* **Kaguya:** I told you the place can't be cleaned.
* **Otsuu:** I didn't expect you to have explained your room literally...
* **Little Mermaid:** If we three work together, I'm sure we'll get this done!
* **Otsuu:** Unbelievable...! Again, you owe me one!

*(Platform)*

* **Kaguya:** Thank you so very much. I'll come and ask for your help when my room gets messy again.
* **Otsuu:** Just keep the place clean!
* **Kaguya:** Well, I'll see you later.

*(Exit Kaguya)*

* **Otsuu:** She ran away... Lazy as usual, I guess...
* **Little Mermaid:** Uh-huh...
* **Otsuu:** Well, that's done, so now back to talking with...

*(Enter Hameln)*

* **Hameln:** Ah! There you two are! I've been looking for you girls!
* **Otsuu:** \*sigh\*
* **Little Mermaid:** What's the matter, Hammy?
* **Hameln:** I found out that heroes need a legendary sword!
* **Little Mermaid:** Legendary sword...?
* **Hameln:** Yes! Unfortunately, I have none on me! So, I was going to search for one.
* **Otsuu:** You want us to help...
* **Hameln:** Exactly!
* **Otsuu:** Maybe next time... I'm a bit tired after doing some clean up earlier.
* **Little Mermaid:** Otsuu...?
* **Hameln:** Hm... Well, it can't be helped if you're tired! By all mean, go and rest in your room!
* **Otsuu:** Yeah... I'll do that. Well, see you both tomorrow.

*(Exit Otsuu)*

* **Hameln:** Hm, she looked quite tired.
* **Little Mermaid:** I'm sorry Hammy, but I need to go after Otsuu!
* **Hameln:** Uh, okay!

*(Exit Little Mermaid)*

* **Hameln:** What's wrong with those two?

*(Platform)*

* **Otsuu:** (What a day... I know Princess is kind, and that's what I like about her. But if only she kept her eyes on me for a short moment... Or, am I being greedy?) I guess I can give her this later...

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Huff... Huff... There you are!
* **Otsuu:** P-Princess?! What the...?
* **Little Mermaid:** Otsuu, I noticed you were a bit fidgety, but was there something you wanted?
* **Otsuu:** Princess...
* **Little Mermaid:** What's that you have there?
* **Otsuu:** Uh! Oh this?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Why don't we swap gifts with each other?
* **Otsuu:** Huh?!
* **Little Mermaid:** First me!
* **Otsuu:** P-Princess? What are you...?
* **Little Mermaid:** Shhh, quiet. You're going to miss my gift.
* **Otsuu:** ...
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Otsuu:** (I can already feel my sullen feeling melting away...)
* **Little Mermaid:** ~~♪ ~~♪ ~~♪
* **Otsuu:** (I must really love Princess...)
* **Little Mermaid:** Thanks for listening.
* **Otsuu:** Thank you... What a wonderful gift.
* **Little Mermaid:** That's great to hear. So, now it's your turn. You do have a gift for me, right?
* **Otsuu:** You can read me like a book, can't you Princess?
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh! You know me! I always have my eyes on you, you know?
* **Otsuu:** You're quite something, Princess. Well, here's my gift to you.
* **Little Mermaid:** Can I open it?
* **Otsuu:** Of course.
* **Little Mermaid:** Ooh...! A bracelet!
* **Otsuu:** I had Takumi make it. I thought it would look great on you.
* **Little Mermaid:** Thank you...! It'll be my treasure!
* **Otsuu:** (And you're my treasure... Well, that's embarrassing to say even if I am her prince...)

### Event 5 - Friends

*(Little Mermaid's Room)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Say, Otsuu? Why do you like me?
* **Otsuu:** Wh-Where did that come from?
* **Little Mermaid:** Just wanted to ask.
* **Otsuu:** O-Okay... (The dreaded question has cometh! Don't fret, Otsuu... This question was expected the moment we bonded in marriage.)
* **Little Mermaid:** Whoops... Awkward question, right?
* **Otsuu:** Not at all. I was just trying to get my thoughts straight with all the things that I like about you.
* **Little Mermaid:** Okay...
* **Otsuu:** Let me go one-by-one here. I love your beautiful singing, kind heart, appearance...
* **Little Mermaid:** H-Hold on there!
* **Otsuu:** What's the matter? I have a lot more to say.
* **Little Mermaid:** I appreciate your words, but that's not what I wanted to hear.
* **Otsuu:** W-What do you mean by that?
* **Little Mermaid:** You know how you asked for my hand in marriage the very first time we met?
* **Otsuu:** Well, yes.
* **Little Mermaid:** How come?
* **Otsuu:** How come? Because I love you.
* **Little Mermaid:** Well, that's nice, but... How can you fall in love when we'd only just met? To be honest, it took me awhile for me to really like you.
* **Otsuu:** Wha-?! Really?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Come to think of it, how come you knew my name when we'd only met for the first time back then? Maybe I'm remembering things wrong since it was awhile back.
* **Otsuu:** ... (Now that she mentioned it, I seem to have loved her since forever. I don't really recall much from memory, and I don't have a reason, but my feelings for her are true.)
* **Little Mermaid:** Weird, huh?
* **Otsuu:** I'm sure there was something that happened, but I think we can sum it all up as being fate. What's important is now. My love towards you will never change, no matter what.
* **Little Mermaid:** Well, I'm just happy we're having this conversation, since it's been awhile since we talked like this.
* **Otsuu:** We've been too busy to reminisce how long we've been together in matrimony.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup, it's been a long while all right...
* **Otsuu:** I'll say it again - I love you. I will always be with you. I will protect you no matter what.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yes, and I wouldn't expect anything less, my prince...

### Event 6 - Love

*(Cafeteria)*

* **Hameln:** Say, you mind I ask what kind of wedding you two had?
* **Little Mermaid:** Huh?
* **Otsuu:** Wedding?
* **Hameln:** You two are married, right? I read in a manga that people who marry have weddings.
* **Otsuu:** Manga, again...
* **Little Mermaid:** Come to think of it, I don't think we had a wedding.
* **Otsuu:** Well, we were destined by fate to be together from the very beginning. Hence, a wedding wasn't needed.
* **Hameln:** I see. So, what about now?
* **Otsuu:** We'll have one.
* **Hameln:** Okay...
* **Otsuu:** Not that we'll have one right away. There are just way too many things we're missing.
* **Hameln:** I see. We don't have churches, wedding dresses, or ministers around.
* **Otsuu:** Right? If we're going to hold a wedding, I want to do it after the escape in the best way possible.
* **Hameln:** That sounds quite exciting!
* **Otsuu:** Another good reason for me to want to escape from this place.

*(Platform)*

* **Otsuu:** That went well... Hameln seemed quite interesting. If only we could hold out wedding now...

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:** I want to have a wedding, too.
* **Otsuu:** P-Princess?! Since when...?!
* **Little Mermaid:** We're husband and wife. Is it surprising to see me here?
* **Otsuu:** I suppose not. I can't argue your logic.
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh... So, we're not going to have our wedding?
* **Otsuu:** I'd love to have one, but what I said to Hameln isn't a lie. We simply don't have the means here.
* **Little Mermaid:** Really? I don't think so. A wedding is where an exchange of vows is done, right? Then all we need is the pair to be here.
* **Otsuu:** You're right. We can have a formal wedding after our escape. Shall we exchange our vows for now?
* **Little Mermaid:** Sure!

* **Otsuu:** I vow to love you, Princess, and care for you as long as we both shall live.
* **Little Mermaid:** I vow to love you, Otsuu, and care for you as long as we both shall live.
* **Otsuu:** Please, marry me.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yes, my prince...
* **Otsuu:** Mmm...
* **Little Mermaid:** Mmm... Heh...

*(Exit Still)*

* **Otsuu:** Heh heh...
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh...
* **Otsuu:** I guess we misunderstood ourselves.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup... We already held a wedding like this before.
* **Otsuu:** I vowed to be your prince when we first met.
* **Little Mermaid:** And I accepted you to be my husband. Say, Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** What is it?
* **Little Mermaid:** How about we have our exchange of vows in private again?
* **Otsuu:** As you wish, my dear princess...

### Event 7 - Blood Maidens 1

*(Cafeteria)*

* **Hameln:** Now, let's hear it as promised!
* **Otsuu:** Promise? What promise?
* **Hameln:** You promised to me that you'd tell me about how you and Little Mermaid met! Don't tell me you're going to break the promise...
* **Otsuu:** I... suppose I did promise that.
* **Little Mermaid:** Don't worry, Hammy. She won't break promises.
* **Hameln:** Very well! Now speak!
* **Little Mermaid:** Um... I don't know since when, but I've been at the Aquarium Ruins for as long as I remember. Then one day, I was being chased by a Marchen when...
* **Otsuu:** I arrived gallantly to save her!
* **Hameln:** Oh? That sounds like something from a manga! So then what?!
* **Little Mermaid:** After Otsuu saved me, she suddenly asked for my hand in marriage.
* **Hameln:** So soon? I thought marrying is something done between lovers.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup, I was so surprised, that I just rambled asking Otsuu to become my prince.
* **Hameln:** That would explain why Otsuu is like that in front of you.
* **Otsuu:** So we exchanged our vows, and I became her prince.
* **Hameln:** I see... But what you did was quite weird, Otsuu. Did you meet Little Mermaid before her rescue?
* **Otsuu:** No. I was in love with her before I knew it. I longed to see her.
* **Hameln:** Hm...
* **Otsuu:** Once I saw her, I couldn't hold back my urge, so I asked her to marry me.
* **Hameln:** I see... I know what you are now!
* **Otsuu:** Huh?
* **Hameln:** Hm, you searched aimlessly for someone you don't know, but you liked, right?
* **Otsuu:** Wait... What are you trying to get at?
* **Hameln:** You're like one of those creepers! I saw it in one of the manga before!
* **Otsuu:** No! I'm not a creeper!
* **Little Mermaid:** Now that I think about it, most people won't ask someone to marry them the moment they meet someone.
* **Otsuu:** Princess?!
* **Hameln:** I see! You're the prince of creepers!
* **Otsuu:** Urgh!
* **Little Mermaid:** D-Don't worry, Otsuu! I like you for who you are, even if you are a creeper!
* **Otsuu:** Ack...!

*(Otsuu faints)*

* **Hameln:** Did she pass-out?
* **Little Mermaid:** Huh? What? Why? Otsuu! Are you all right?!

*(Otsuu stands)*

* **Otsuu:** (I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad...)

### Event 8 - Blood Maidens 2

*(Hallway)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Um... Do you mind...?
* **Red Riding Hood:** You're so clingy. But, sure, c'mon.

*(Enter Otsuu)*

* **Otsuu:** (Hm? I hear Princess's voice from Red Riding Hood's room. What are they doing?) Red Riding Hood, do you mind if I come in for a moment?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Otsuu? Come on in.
* **Little Mermaid:** Huh?!

*(Red Riding Hood's Room)*

* **Otsuu:** I heard Princess... Wha-?!
* **Red Riding Hood:** We're a bit busy now.
* **Little Mermaid:** Um...
* **Otsuu:** ...
* **Red Riding Hood:** Huh? Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** Urgh...!
* **Little Mermaid:** Otsuu! You're spitting blood!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Ouch... This was a bit too much for her.
* **Otsuu:** I-I'm fine... I'm totally and completely fine!
* **Red Riding Hood:** That's good.
* **Otsuu:** Th-There must be a reason behind this... Why were you and Red Riding Hood cuddling?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Um, well... We've been doing this a lot from before.
* **Otsuu:** What...?

*(Otsuu faints)*

* **Little Mermaid:** O-Otsuu!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Wow, this is too much for me.
* **Little Mermaid:** Aah...! Wh-What should I...?! Otsuu... Otsuu...!
* **Red Riding Hood:** C'mon now, relax. Breathe in... Breathe out...
* **Little Mermaid:** Breathe in... Mmm... Breathe out... Aah...
* **Red Riding Hood:** Better?
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup, better.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Now then... Hey, snap out of it, Otsuu. Your imagination is getting the better of you.
* **Otsuu:** Really...?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Really, really. Mermie, you have to explain a bit better.
* **Little Mermaid:** O-Okay...
* **Otsuu:** Uh... Before that, you mind letting go of each other...?
* **Little Mermaid:** Whoops!

*(Otsuu stands)*

* **Otsuu:** So... What's going on here?
* **Little Mermaid:** Um, well... I always cuddled with Sis ever since I was little.
* **Otsuu:** Okay...
* **Little Mermaid:** I know this is embarrassing, but I come to Sis to do this every so often. I know Sis is going through a lot, so I tried to restrain myself, but... I asked her anyway, and she said okay, so... well...
* **Otsuu:** W-Well, I guess that's fine. I may be your husband, but I'm not your sister after all.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Got it? So yeah, you can stop with your jealousy thing. Hey, how about you get clingy to me like before? Sis is always ready for more clingy.
* **Otsuu:** S-Stop it! I'm not a kid anymore! In the first place, I'm not clingy.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Oho? You sure? I remember you came to my room crying one night, and...
* **Otsuu:** Whoa! Whoa!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Aww, it was gonna be good.
* **Otsuu:** J-Just stop already! Fine! I owe you one, so please, stop!

*(Exit Otsuu)*

* **Red Riding Hood:** And there she goes...
* **Little Mermaid:** Um... You were saying...?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Mmm... I don't mind continuing where I left off, but...
* **Little Mermaid:** Please, tell me Sis!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Okay, but to be fair, I'll tell Otsuu everything about you, even the secret stuff.
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, pooh...

### Event 9 - Sexy

*(Otsuu's Room, Night)*

* **Otsuu:** (At this hour? Who is it?)
* **Little Mermaid:** Do you mind if I come in...?
* **Otsuu:** P-Princess?!

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Um, nice night, right Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** Uh, sure... What brings you here at this hour, Princess?
* **Little Mermaid:** Um... Do you mind if I sleep with you tonight?
* **Otsuu:** W-With me?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup...
* **Otsuu:** Um, well... I, uh... Huh?! A-Are you serious?
* **Little Mermaid:** Tee-hee, oh, stop it. I just want to sleep with you, that's all.
* **Otsuu:** Oh, uh, I see... Hahaha... Breathe in... Breathe out...
* **Little Mermaid:** Better now?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, I'm fine now. (I'm supposed to be calm in this situation?!)
* **Little Mermaid:** Um... So you mind...?
* **Otsuu:** Uh, I'm honored, but... Is everything okay, Princess?
* **Little Mermaid:** ...
* **Otsuu:** Oh, uh, if you don't want to talk about it, then...
* **Little Mermaid:** You remember how I entered Blood Skelter the last time, right?
* **Otsuu:** Yes... Back at the Aquarium Ruins.
* **Little Mermaid:** You taught me that I can rely on others, so... That's why I'm here asking for your help.
* **Otsuu:** My help?
* **Little Mermaid:** I was scared sleeping alone tonight, so I thought I could sleep better with you around.
* **Otsuu:** I-I see... Well if that's all then...
* **Little Mermaid:** Am I just being a burden to you?
* **Otsuu:** Absolutely not. I'm more than honored to have you sleep by my side.
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh, thank you, Otsuu.
* **Otsuu:** (Well, that went well... But what should I do?! Am I able to restrain myself with Princess sleeping together with me?! Hm? Together... That's right! Jack!)

*(Shift to Nightmare Jack)*

* **Nightmare Jack:** ...

*(Shift back)*

* **Otsuu:** (He's asleep...)
* **Little Mermaid:** We should get to sleep, too.
* **Otsuu:** R-Right...

* **Otsuu:** (I'm not sure how I feel seeing Jack asleep like that... Was it good he didn't hear what I said?)
* **Little Mermaid:** I feel a lot better with you holding onto my hand like this.
* **Otsuu:** R-Really? That's quite an honor... (Dang it! I can't sleep like this!)
* **Little Mermaid:** If only we spent our times like this all the time...
* **Otsuu:** Princess...? (Her hand is shaking...)
* **Little Mermaid:** A time where no one dies, no one gets hurt, no one needs to fight... If only this time continued forever...
* **Otsuu:** Yes... Same here. If only time froze... (I shouldn't have been flustered by her coming. She did say she came here because she was scared.)
* **Little Mermaid:** Please don't disappear from me, Otsuu...
* **Otsuu:** Of course I won't. I won't die, too. What prince would leave his princess alone? So there's nothing to be scared of here. Good night.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yup... Good night, Otsuu...
* **Otsuu:** (I won't ever leave your side, my dear princess...)

*(Otsuu's Room, Daytime)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Mmm... \*yawn\* Huh? Where am I...?
* **Otsuu:** Zzz... Zzz...
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, right. I went to sleep in Otsuu's room.
* **Otsuu:** Mmm...
* **Little Mermaid:** She looks like any ordinary girl like this. A prince that's as every bit a girl as anyone... I love you, Otsuu... As you will protect me, I will do the same for you, too.
* **Otsuu:** Mmm...
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh... She's so cute...

## *Mary Skelter: Nightmares*

Please note that these do not appear in the Heroine's Memories menu under Bonus (thus these are not the events' official names), and will only appear after the alternate true ending of the game. Additionally, all of these are shared with Otsuu.

### Bonus 1

*(Hallway)*

* **Jack:** Otsuu and Little Mermaid must feel uneasy right now... Not like they have privacy, too... They won't outright complain about being in the same room, so maybe I should bring it up from my side. This is getting awkward... I mean, it's not like we've had a lot of time talking as humans...
* **Little Mermaid:** Is someone there?

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Ah, Jack!
* **Jack:** Whoa! Little Mermaid! S-Sorry to have bothered you! I was just wondering if everything was okay, especially with how so much has changed...
* **Little Mermaid:** Yes, I've had no trouble at all. Oh, but perfect timing! I wanted to talk to you about something. Come on in!

*(Otsuu and Little Mermaid's Room, Enter Otsuu)*

* **Jack:** Um, what's this you want to talk about?
* **Little Mermaid:** I'm so happy to spend my time with Otsuu and everyone. It also helps seeing you in human form.
* **Jack:** Well, I didn't fall down into some underground area in this world.
* **Little Mermaid:** Right? So, I wanted to thank you. Thank you for bringing me back to life.
* **Jack:** Oh no! I didn't do anything! It only happened because the others were willing to listen to me...
* **Little Mermaid:** The only one who knows me in this world is Sis. No one knew about Otsuu, and yet everyone pitched in to help... That all came about because of you, Jack. If you didn't take action, neither me or Otsuu would be here. So, thank you so very much.
* **Jack:** No problem at all. I'm happy that both of you are here now.
* **Little Mermaid:** I guess all that adventuring with Nightmare Jack wasn't all for naught.
* **Jack:** Yeah, we're here now because of what we went through back in the other world. (Thank goodness... She's no different than before. I thought the new environment she's in would make her anxious, but I guess she's fine.)
* **Otsuu:** Um, Jack...?
* **Jack:** Hm? What's the matter?
* **Otsuu:** Um, you about, uh... Well, um... I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to say it, but... Um... Th-Thanks...
* **Jack:** Well, I'm just happy we can talk like this together.
* **Otsuu:** Uh, so... Hope we get along here, too.
* **Jack:** Oh, uh... Okay... Same here...
* **Otsuu:** ...
* **Jack:** ...
* **Little Mermaid:** Why are you two blushing?
* **Jack:** Oh, um, it's just that I regained my memories back when I was a Nightmare, and... I wasn't necessarily bright back then, and I was living with her, so...
* **Otsuu:** S-Stop it...!
* **Jack:** Wha-?! Oh, uh! S-Sorry, Otsuu!
* **Little Mermaid:** So...?
* **Jack:** So, uh, it feels like remembering childhood days... You know? It's just embarrassing to remember.
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, I see. You were able to see Otsuu as how she is when you were a Nightmare. So, is that why you're embarrassed too, Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** W-Well, I guess? But beyond that... I feel awkward because I was the cause of everything back then...
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, right...
* **Jack:** Don't worry. If it wasn't for the other world, I wouldn't be here with you two.
* **Little Mermaid:** Jack... He's right, Otsuu. You did all that for me too, right? No need to put yourself down like that.
* **Otsuu:** Thanks... Hearing you two just lifted the heavy burden on me...
* **Little Mermaid:** So, about being embarrassed... What kind of embarrassing thing happened, Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** You have to bring it up again, don't you?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Of course ♪
* **Otsuu:** I was just embarrassed about how Jack knew what I was thinking with how our dreams were linked...
* **Jack:** Um, same here, too... (She knows how I kept thinking about wanting to protect Alice... Yikes! The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it is!)
* **Little Mermaid:** You two are like brothers with how you both are thinking alike.
* **Otsuu:** That... makes a lot of sense.
* **Jack:** I guess we are thinking about the same kind of things.
* **Otsuu:** Brothers... That doesn't exactly represent us two, but... Hope we get along even better, Jack.
* **Jack:** Same here.
* **Little Mermaid:** Ooh, a handshake! So, it's like being soul brothers!
* **Jack:** H-Hey, Little Mermaid!
* **Otsuu:** Jack... I need to talk with you later on about things not to disclose...
* **Jack:** You mean about how you were secretly practicing your lines to make you sound like a prince?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, that!
* **Jack:** Oh, sorry! (So, she really did do that...)

### Bonus 2

*(Rest Area)*

* **Jack:** (Hm...? I was wondering where everyone went... What are they doing at the cafeteria?)

*(Enter All Blood Maidens)*

* **Red Riding Hood:** You and Otsuu are really comfy with each other, but how comfy are you two? Spill it.
* **Little Mermaid:** Uh, um... Before we continue, do you mind I call you how I used to?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Of course! You can call me "dear sister" or "Sis" or anything!
* **Little Mermaid:** Thank you, Sis...
* **Red Riding Hood:** Heh heh! You're so cute! Oh yeah, what did Otsuu call me by?
* **Otsuu:** Red Riding Hood.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Ew, booooring...
* **Alice:** Oh, Jack!
* **Rapunzel:** Jack! Over here!
* **Jack:** Looks like everyone is having fun.
* **Snow White:** We were just talking with Otsuu and Mermie! Isn't that right, sister Thumbelina?
* **Thumbelina:** Yeah, it just feels weird that they know us, you know?
* **Gretel:** Very intriguing...
* **Sleeping Beauty:** Yup... Yup...
* **Red Riding Hood:** So, how come you two are so friendly with each other?
* **Otsuu:** It's because she saved my life and showed me what kindness really is.
* **Little Mermaid:** That's not true. She saved me by treating me with kindness.
* **Jack:** That was back when you were a Nightmare, right?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, and if I didn't meet Princess back then, I'm sure I would've perished as a Nightmare.
* **Kaguya:** So that's how you two met? What an unusual meeting of fate.
* **Otsuu:** Princess saved me form the Marchens who were attacking me. I was cowardly back then, and stayed away from Princess in fear, even though she saved me...
* **Little Mermaid:** It can't be helped. I did enter my Massacre state, you know? Oh, and you're the one who saved me. You saved me from my solitude by staying with me, even if it was from afar.
* **Thumbelina:** Staying with you?
* **Otsuu:** To repay Princess for what she'd done, I left food for her to which she responded with her singing.
* **Little Mermaid:** That was all I could do. I'm sorry I was too scared to show myself to you...
* **Otsuu:** That can't be helped. I was a Nightmare after all.
* **Snow White:** Singing! That's so wonderful! Such a great way to show your gratitude!
* **Hameln:** Come to think of it, I recall hearing Little Mermaid's singing from that microphone.
* **Snow White:** I was a bit farther away, so I couldn't hear, but was her singing as beautiful as I think it is?
* **Otsuu:** Why, of course! I would pay anything to get to hear her sing!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Really? Well then, let's hear it.
* **Little Mermaid:** O-Otsuu! Please, you're making it difficult for me! Sis, maybe next time, okay?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Aw... Party pooper...
* **Rapunzel:** Ooh! Otsuu, why you a prince?
* **Gretel:** That's something I wanted to ask, too.
* **Otsuu:** Well...
* **Red Riding Hood:** C'mon, spill it.
* **Jack:** (Red Riding Hood can be a bit pushy at times...)
* **Otsuu:** We're married...
* **Cinderella:** Married?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, uh, it just means that we're so close to each other that it's like we're married... No... Um, we took our vows in marriage...
* **Thumbelina:** Uh, I don't know what to say...
* **Red Riding Hood:** Love can take different forms. I don't see anything wrong with what you just told me.
* **Gretel:** This was back in the other world I presume.
* **Otsuu:** Yeah... My wish to see Princess again came true, so I offered my hand in marriage when we met.
* **Little Mermaid:** But Otsuu asked me to take her as my wife. I'm not the husband-type, so I just asked her to become my prince.
* **Kaguya:** Oh, so is that why Otsuu is trying to act like a prince?
* **Alice:** Otsuu is more the princely type don't you think, Jack?
* **Jack:** Yeah, but despite her looks, she's very much like any normal girl...
* **Otsuu:** Excuse me, Jack?! I-I would never exhibit such...
* **Alice:** Jack... How much of Otsuu do you really know?
* **Jack:** S-Sorry! B-But, didn't I explain to you about the other world?!
* **Alice:** That's right. You were a Nightmare and Otsuu needed to be with you to prevent you from going wild.
* **Otsuu:** Um, when it comes to going wild you were a bit of that, Alice...
* **Alice:** What?! Really?! Um, I'm not sure what happened, but... I'm sorry.
* **Otsuu:** Heh heh, it's nothing for you to apologize about. I'm just happy I can talk to you like this now.
* **Little Mermaid:** Absolutely!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Say, how were the others?
* **Otsuu:** Um, Red Riding Hood...
* **Little Mermaid:** You were reliable as ever, but Otsuu kept trying to calm you down to avoid getting into trouble.
* **Gretel:** I see... In others words, she was the same.
* **Red Riding Hood:** H-Hey, I don't get into trouble!
* **Otsuu:** Gretel was always calm, and gave us a lot of sound decisions, even in the harshest of times.
* **Little Mermaid:** You were also very inquisitive, and kept bugging Otsuu for answers.
* **Gretel:** I wouldn't have expected any less of myself.
* **Otsuu:** Rapunzel... referred to Princess as looking delicious...
* **Rapunzel:** How'd you know Rapunzel think that!
* **Little Mermaid:** Same here too, huh? ... Please don't eat me...
* **Otsuu:** Kaguya was a hard worker, and would always help whenever possible.
* **Kaguya:** I see... So I'm the same, too.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Uh, not by a long shot...
* **Otsuu:** Thumby would often argue, but she would always help at the most crucial of times.
* **Thumbelina:** It feels weird hearing myself being praised when it wasn't me...
* **Snow White:** You're relied on anywhere! Snow White is so proud!
* **Sleeping Beauty:** Yup...! Yup...!
* **Little Mermaid:** Of course, Snow White and Sleepy were kind to us all the time!
* **Otsuu:** I'm just happy to see you three so friendly with each other...
* **Thumbelina:** Why wouldn't we? We would never get into a fight with each other!
* **Little Mermaid:** Um, sure...
* **Hameln:** My turn! How about me?!
* **Otsuu:** Hameln... Are you the Demon King?
* **Hameln:** How did you know?! Yes, I am the Demon King Hameln!
* **Otsuu:** I see... Which means you're no different from the Hameln we knew.
* **Hameln:** What?! What do you mean by that?!
* **Otsuu:** The Hameln we knew was a hero that we placed our trust on.
* **Hameln:** What?! A hero you say?!
* **Gretel:** Well now, that puts her on the opposite spectrum of things.
* **Otsuu:** No, she's the same. Amazingly the same... In fact, the only thing different is her attire.
* **Hameln:** I don't know why, but the look on Otsuu's face is strangely rude...
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh... She's just trying to say that she's happy Hammy is Hammy.
* **Hameln:** Hm... I see... Well, fyne thyen.
* **Otsuu:** Oh, and the Hameln back in the other world kept slurring, too.
* **Gretel:** I see why you said she's the same now.
* **Thumbelina:** Same as usual, even in another world...
* **Hameln:** You're all making fun of me, aren't you?!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Was there anyone else left?
* **Cinderella:** Wh-What about me? It's quite unnerving to be the very last one...
* **Otsuu:** Cinderella... You're the most surprising out of everyone.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yes... I'm surprised how grown you are with all the curves in the right areas...
* **Cinderella:** What do you mean?
* **Otsuu:** The Cinderella in the other world went missing during her youth while in Blood Skelter. A long while passed, and when we found her, she was still in her youthful form.
* **Little Mermaid:** So, this is the first time we've seen you grown...
* **Otsuu:** Yes... What a relief.
* **Cinderella:** Unbelievable... But, hearing your tone of speech shows how you cared about the others.
* **Otsuu:** But this all happened because of me... I was the cause of everything...
* **Jack:** I think I said it before, but your train of thought is wrong. Both you and Little Mermaid wouldn't be here with us without that other world. The result we see is because of the courage and love you've shown. What you did was with reason.
* **Little Mermaid:** He's right. We wouldn't be in this world if it wasn't for the other world. So please, don't try to bring yourself down over it.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Um... Not sure what this is all about, but we're all here now, so don't worry already!
* **Cinderella:** My, she's right. I don't care who I was or what happened to me back in the other world.
* **Jack:** Did you hear that, Otsuu? You can smile already, you know?
* **Otsuu:** Jack... Everyone... Thank you...

### Bonus 3

*(Rest Area)*

* **Jack:** Where could Alice have gone? (Hm? That's...)

*(Enter Otsuu, Little Mermaid, Alice, and Gretel)*

* **Otsuu:** So, what is it that you wanted to talk about, Gretel, Alice?
* **Alice:** We wanted to ask you some things in case you knew.
* **Little Mermaid:** You mean about the other world? If so, we'll try to answer as best as we can.
* **Gretel:** No, it's about the white core.
* **Jack:** Do you mind I join?
* **Alice:** Ah, Jack...
* **Gretel:** Why, please do. It seems like you know about it, too.
* **Jack:** I'll answer what I can. So, what about the white core?
* **Gretel:** I believe it's also referred to as the "Witchcraft" based on you and Otsuu's conversation.
* **Otsuu:** That name came to me from the core back when I was wandering the underground cavern. Now that I think about it, that could've come from Snark's information.
* **Gretel:** That could be possible. Well, for the sake of simplicity, I'll just refer to it as the "white core." Ultimately, it brought about the revival of Little Mermaid, and turned Otsuu into a human. So, does this white core really hold the power to do such things?
* **Alice:** It basically granted your wish, right? If so, the power it holds is astounding.
* **Gretel:** Even if it asked for the body of the deceased, it could bring that one back to life. It also holds the power to transform or reincarnate Nightmares into humans. In any case, the power it exhibited is beyond any mortals.
* **Otsuu:** Mmm... It's true that I turned into a human, and that Princess came back to life. But that was just luck. The core isn't as convenient as you two may be thinking.
* **Alice:** But it did grant your wish, right?
* **Otsuu:** Do you both know what the Jail is from a biological standpoint?
* **Alice:** I believe you and Rapunzel ate the Jail's walls.
* **Gretel:** Indeed. To add, the walls don't seem to be any type of animal protein. I suppose the Jail is some type of flora?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, it's a flora all right. It is something called a "Theophil" that grows to become a Jail.
* **Jack:** It feels weird thinking that some plant is keeping us down here...
* **Otsuu:** It's hard to believe, but it makes sense when you consider the tower is a stamen and the moon is a pistil.
* **Alice:** I suppose...
* **Otsuu:** Flora can differ in growth depending on the environment. It's like how there are varying types and sizes of apples.
* **Alice:** So let's say what you said is true... Are you suggesting that we happened to be in a good Jail?
* **Jack:** I think Snark's strong desire made him fuse with the Jail, but... I don't think his form was something that he wished for...
* **Gretel:** So, the Jail's environmental state wasn't the most desirable?
* **Jack:** Yeah... Whatever the case, I doubt that was the desired result...
* **Gretel:** Interesting. I suppose it's true that Snark didn't want to fuse with the Jail.
* **Otsuu:** I haven't seen the Snark in this world, so I can't confirm, but... Like Jack said, I'm sure the environment wasn't well, so his desire wasn't properly reflected.
* **Little Mermaid:** Does that mean the Metropolitan Office Jail was special?
* **Otsuu:** I believe so... That Jail was formed from the many desires stemming from the Festival of the Weaver.
* **Gretel:** Festival of the Weaver... I read about it before. People would tie their wishes to a tree, was it?
* **Otsuu:** Yes... It's an age-old tradition where people wrote their wishes to be tied onto some tree. In other words, I believe that Jail held greater powers because of all the wishes it formed from.
* **Alice:** As a result, it exhibited stronger powers as it was a manifestation of wishes...
* **Otsuu:** I don't have any proof, but that's the best assumption I can come up with. To add, cores hold special properties reminiscent of each Jail they are in. Some cores will grant wishes right, whereas other may twist wishes, and more... Which is why there was a chance we could've turned into some kind of monster... We did wish for the world to be back to how it was, and that didn't come out perfectly, too.
* **Little Mermaid:** I think that was because we may have had regrets deep inside of us...
* **Alice:** I see... So it isn't as convenient as we thought.
* **Gretel:** On the contrary, it's too volatile to control.
* **Little Mermaid:** It just so happened that Otsuu's gamble came out good.
* **Otsuu:** Yes... That's one way to word it.
* **Little Mermaid:** I know it's weird for me to say this, but I don't want you to take such a gamble again, Otsuu.
* **Otsuu:** Yes, nothing that will bring grief to you, my princess. I promise.
* **Alice:** If the cores are that volatile, there's no telling what can be found on the surface. I guess it just means we need to prepare ourselves well.
* **Otsuu:** I appreciate you understanding the dangers behind the white core.
* **Alice:** In turn, I appreciate you telling us about it. I'm happy you and Little Mermaid joined us. You're both of great help, isn't that right, Gretel?
* **Gretel:** I can at least say you two have piqued my interest even further.
* **Otsuu:** You really aren't different at all no matter what world you're in...
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh, that's the Gretel I know.
* **Gretel:** I'll assume that's a compliment.
* **Jack:** With everyone here, I think we can overcome any obstacles.
* **Otsuu:** I can't agree with you more. It's a miracle we converged like this after all.
* **Little Mermaid:** We faced a lot, but we did make it through all of them.
* **Alice:** And, I'm sure there are more to come, but nothing will falter the hope I feel within me.
* **Gretel:** If you saw the future of the other world, then I would love to see what the future holds here.
* **Jack:** Absolutely! We're going to make it to the surface, and see what the future holds for us above!
