Plot
After Sebasstian announced that Mero had been kidnapped, Kimihito asks the Fishfolk butler, startled, 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 Skylla, as the note with the kidnapper's message is signed with "O". They add that there are rumors 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 unconfortable 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 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 for their best will what they think of it.
