Hello（●U●）／☆

This time I want to read cute story.
So, I had choose this story.
This story is an account of a dream.
THe hero is prince and hiroin is mermade!!
I think this combinatoin is the best other love storise.

But, they had bad impression each other at the start.
I had many mistake like a this case.
This story is very simple but, it was show us very improtant.
Did you make a mistake llike a fixed idea?
Please, try more charange!!


When I studying comparative culter, my proffeser said"Please don't stop thnking"
"Please thinking more and more".
If you stop thinking about easy to you but, very dangerous!!




See y0u next time（●V●）／
