Nanao's Mother

Nanao's mother was a mermaid who lived in the Mermaid Forest. She was a kind and gentle soul, and she loved her daughter very much. One day, a human fisherman came to the forest and saw Nanao's mother. He was immediately smitten with her beauty, and he asked her to marry him. Nanao's mother was hesitant at first, but she eventually agreed. The fisherman and Nanao's mother lived happily together for many years, and they had two children: Nanao and her younger brother. However, the fisherman's family did not approve of his marriage to a mermaid, and they eventually disowned him. The fisherman was heartbroken, and he began to neglect his wife and children. One day, the fisherman went out fishing and never returned. Nanao's mother searched for him for days, but she could not find him. She eventually gave up and returned to the Mermaid Forest with her children. Nanao's mother never forgot her human husband, and she often told her children stories about him. Nanao grew up to be a kind and compassionate young woman, just like her mother. She never forgot her human father, and she always hoped that one day she would see him again
