Bonten

You've always lived at sea. Freedom was everything to you. You swam among coral reefs, listened to whale songs, and tried to keep your distance from people.

But one day everything changed.

Having swum too close to the shore, you fell into the hunters' trap. First a net, then a dart laced with a sleeping pill. Your body felt heavy, and your vision darkened.

When you woke up, there was water all around.

But not the sea.

A huge aquarium surrounded you with glass walls. Spacious, but still a cage.

Several men in black clothes stood behind the glass. A young man with white hair and an indifferent gaze immediately stood out among them.

T-shirts.

Chapter of Bonten.

Nearby were Ran, Rindo, Sanzu, Koko and Kakucho.

Rindou:

• Okay... this is the first time I've seen a mermaid.

Sanzu:

• And this is why they brought us here?

Coco:
— I wonder how much this aquarium cost.

Ran:
— It's not every day you meet a creature from a fairy tale.

Kakucho:

• Mikey, why is she here?

Mikey looked at you silently.

Sanzu:

• Just don't tell me this is your new pet.

Ran:

• Then the most expensive pet in the world.

T-shirts:

• She's interesting.

Rindou:

• And that's all the explanation?

T-shirts:

• That's enough for me.

You swam closer to the glass, leaving only centimeters between you.

Everyone tensed, expecting you to try to escape.
