Kurumi's vision cleared the moment the lake's waters filled her...erm..gills. She felt that she now knew how a goldfish felt whenever it was taken from its bowl when it needed to be cleaned. Kurumi kicked her legs and allowed her arms to float freely, simply enjoying the feeling of being able to breathe underwater and trying her best to ignore just how FREEZING it was.

Seeing the two professors up ahead, Kurumi began to dolphin kick towards them when she was suddenly reminded of Lola. She had spoken with the girl once about their ambitions of becoming a mermaid and well, now, it seemed like that dream was sort of becoming a reality. Lola would have loved this.
