Plot
After Sebasstian announced that Mero had been kidnapped, a startled Kimihito asks the Fishfolk butler why or when this happened. Sebasstian says out of breath that he doesn't know, but that it most likely happened during the ruckus with the stingrays and the crabs. Sebasstian desperately asks what they should do now, since he will be blamed as head butler, whereupon Kimihito angrily makes it clear that he should rather worry about Mero. Kimihito asks Sebasstian and Flounnder if they might know who might have kidnapped Mero, and if it might be the woman they mentioned in the car while driving to the hotel. The two Fishfolk butlers loudly confirm that the princess's kidnapper is none other than Octo, the Scylla, as the note with the kidnapper's message is signed with "O". They add that there are rumours that Octo could use her alleged witch powers to summon dangerous creatures and that the stingrays and crabs must have been caused by her.

When Sebasstian and Flounnder argue about why Octo would kidnap Mero, Miia and Centorea get annoyed in the dispute and asks who Octo actually is and why they are so wary of her. Sebasstian and Flounnder are clearly uncomfortable with this question and hesitantly say that this is a long story. They explain, to Miia and Centorea's confusion, that the Mermaid society is dealing with a serious elopement problem. Mermaids love tragic romance, especially tragic romance that involves another species. And more often than not, they go after humans, which means that the number of young Mermaid women who are meeting humans by the seashore and eloping with them has increasing dramatically. Embarrassed, the two Fishfolk butlers explain that even the King of the Mermaids (Mero's father) actually eloped with a human woman, with the result that the relations between Mermaids and humans are not doing very well since then. Miia and Centorea are totally perplexed by this story because they don't know what to think of it.

When Kimihito asks what this has to do with Octo, the two Fishfolk butlers loudly say that it's all because of her and that Octo is just like the witch in "The Little Mermaid" who is tricking these couples into eloping. They add that Octo must be plotting something horribly evil because of the kidnapping of the princess and immediately turn to Kimihito and his house guests to save Mero. While the girls react differently to this request (Rachnera, Papi and Suu rather calmly. Miia scared and Centorea happy about the seemingly chivalrous act of saving a princess) Kimihito says that of course they want to save Mero, but also asks the two Fishfolk butlers if the know were Octo hides out. Sebasstian and Flounnder confirm this, however, as if this knowledge were a matter of course and bring Kimihito and the girls onto their boat, where after a short journey they reach a sea cave in a cliff wall.
