Yes, with who she is, even the title gained her name. She's just that kind of person.

Everything was just perfect. The pink-haired new student of Shokushu Took a step out into the fresh island air for the first time and took a deep breath while her closed eyes prepared for the view she already knew she’d see. Carol had now patiently, diligently and with enthusiasm got through the first number of ceremonies which were used for the enrollment of the new students. Now all that remained was to walk over to the dorms and set up her bags in her room and prepare for the lessons which were coming, all of which she’d no doubt handle perfectly. After all, she had never got any grade less than perfect in the past. Carol would make personally sure all the friends she’d inevitably get never would have any problems either. It was nice to take a break from saving people with her powers and turning down or fleeing boys wishing to approach her and just live a normal school life. Of course, were she to encounter any sign of trouble here, she’d obviously be on the case and exterminate the problem instantly with not the slightest apprehension or trouble, because she’s Carol Myers~!

So, currently she was happily smiling with expectation shining in her expression as Carol was taking a stroll towards the dorms. The new student had without a second thought equipped the school uniform prim and properly, white shirt with the navy vest and skirt, red tie properly tied and everything in order. She was dragging a large rectangular blue bag on wheels behind her while having a red back-pack on her back. The back-pack included all the books and writing material she was to use while the large bag included all her clothes, some casual entertainment material (… Are students allowed to bring games? ‘Cause then she’d have a console or two along…) and other things to outfit the bathroom with in order to ensure healthy living. Not that she’d need it, Carol was perfect even without those things~! She walked along a road that took her somewhat close to the water, merely for the sake of seeing the beautiful waves. Carol was letting the wind from the sea carry through her hair while she happily hummed a tune that an eavesdropper would probably find mesmerizing~! (… Hur-hur.)

It was a rare opportunity, seeing a new student arrive at the school. The Princess had noticed the signs, the spaceship, the airplane fake out, and now the student herself, not only going to school, but taking the path that led her right by the sea. The Princess couldn't believe her good luck. She couldn't see who it was yet, but she wastes no time in preparing for her arrival, flopping on to a rock about fifteen meters past the shoreline and pretending to be sunning herself. It actually felt good, letting the late afternoon sun kiss her bare breasts and taut belly, and she didn't get to do it often, since it wouldn't do to be constantly spotted by those she wasn't targeting.

She begins to deliberately sing, in a haunting ethereal tone, knowing that her voice will lure her target within her sights. Her drifting lyrics are deliberately vague and difficult to hear, the implicit threat within them partially masked when the listener can only make out a few scattered words.

Build up your village by the shore...
Build up your village by the shore...
When... the... waves call home
Won't be no village anymore

Build those houses nice and strong...
We'll be there before too long...

Take your boats out to the sea
Take your boats out to the sea
Now you got nowhere to flee...

Build those houses nice and strong...
We'll be there before too long...

It was an old part of Nereid folklore, telling about a time when their planet had been shared by land-dwellers. Naturally the nereids had done the only sensible thing, gaining mastery of the tide and flooding their planet to exterminate their neighbors. She figured the dolphins of earth would wise up and do the same thing once they became sufficiently evolved.

The murky song carries itself along the shore, tugging irresistibly at a certain new student's mind. The princess continues her lyrics as she lies on her back, her lower half in the form of a fish. It would certainly be an astonishing and perhaps frightening sight, but a new student wouldn't have the experience to know that she should flee immediately at the first sign of something out of the ordinary.

Carol had just been humming for herself, when suddenly she heard the tune of somebody singing down by the sea. There was something… dark about it, and yet at the same time it was drawing her attention like a magnet. The pink-haired girl found herself stopping for a moment, the sound of the wheels on the bag halting, merely to listen to the tune. It was a… strange voice. There was something odd about it, which the perfect student obviously noticed immediately, but she couldn’t imagine it was something which could threaten her in any way. It could just be someone practicing by the sea or someone wishing for help. Carol smiled a bit as she let her curiosity (and the power of the song) take over and she was guided down to the shore, bag dragged behind her.

As the curious student came down she saw a… oh, my… a mermaid? Lying over there on a rock? Carol guided a hand up over her mouth and widened her eyes as she looked in her direction. While considering magical powerful existences as herself seeing a mermaid wasn’t unthinkable, but actually viewing one before her was… incredible. Though, results from Carol’s perfect studies brought back a certain memory of water-based sirens reminding of mermaids which drew in people using their voices. But if the mermaid was such a siren, then Carol was just the person to teach her a lesson not to do bad things to people, correct? Carol’s been a hero, after all! Good thing it was Carol who found her… or was found by her…? … and not some powerless innocent girl! And if the mermaid wasn’t a bad person, then wouldn’t this be an excellent opportunity to get a unique friend? VERY unique friend, who could come to all sorts of help in the future~!

With high hopes for the future of this encounter, Carol left her bags by the shoreline and then gently stepped closer to the naked half-fish woman. The student assumed that due to different cultures there was no need for this woman to wear any, would just get wet and all, so Carol accepted it as such and proceeded. Carol smiled, hands behind her back, while gently stepping closer hoping to be noticed but saw it as rude to actually disrupt the singing, so she didn’t. And there Carol would wait, if for no time at all or minutes, until…

The Princess repeats her verse again, singing without lyrics now that she knows her target is close enough to hear more clearly. Then, although she is well aware of the student's presence, she turns to her with a gasp of shock, putting a hand on her collarbone for emphasis. "Oooh... oh no!" she cries, recovering from an apparent freeze and feigning an expression of pure terror. She had found it an effective way to coax a human to relax. Make them think that you're more afraid of them then they should be of you.

Her tail thrusting up into the air, she dives into the water in a blink, allowing herself to stay submerged for just a long enough moment to let Carol think she might be gone for good, before she cautiously peeks her head above the surface, letting her long green hair fall in wet strands about her face.

"Who are you?" she asks shakily. "What do you want?"

Oops. Seemed she had scared her. That was not the intention. Maybe she should have made more of a warning on her approaching?

“Wait! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you or disrespect you, I was just…” But the mermaid had already jumped into the water, leaving Carol with somewhat raised arms with open palms that was intended to signify the absence of harm. But she had already left. “Awww”, Carol thought to herself as she let her arms fall down on her sides again and she aimed a sad and somewhat disappointed look out into the water. “That usually doesn’t happen. Ah, well. Better luck next time.” She could nonetheless smile about the fact she had actually seen a mermaid, so Carol smiled and was going to turn around and return up to her bags to finally get to the dorm, when…

That voice. The 180 degree turn quickly became a 360 degree turn as Carol excitedly shifted the speed and intention of her turn around, her hair fluttering behind her due to the sudden spin, eyes alight with excitement. The new student quickly shifted into ‘proper’ mode, standing straight as a gentle lady with a kind smile on her lips as she looked unthreateningly at the mermaid, or whatever she was. Such pretty hair.

“My name is Carol Myers, pleased to meet you.” Carol curtsied politely, with her kindest and least threatening voice available, maintaining her excitement well enough for it not to be overwhelming. “I was merely wondering who it was that was singing down at the shore. Now that I do, I was wondering if perhaps I could be allowed to get to know you. Maybe we could be friends?” The girl kept her hands entwined with each other loosely while speaking with a kind smile to the mermaid and a hopeful look in her eyes. There was no sign of fear of things she didn’t understand present, and seemed entirely intending on merely a friendly relationship.

She's obviously fresh meat. None of the proper reactions that come from overexposure to monsters, and she seems completely confident that she can handle the situation. All she really needed was to convince her to come closer.

"Oh you do? I'd umm... like that... I actually used to be friends with quite a few girls at this school before. But if you're sincere, could you come over here instead of talking to me from the shore? It makes me nervous when you stand there like that." Even a girl like this might not buy that, so she quickly comes up with an excuse. "You see, recently a group of cruel students have been showing up while I was playing and throwing rocks at me. One time they even tried to capture me with a net!"

She's adopted a timid and quavering manner quite unlike her real personality. The story was something she came up with on the spot - if any student had actually thrown a rock at her, she'd ensure that they were unable to walk straight ever again until they graduated. Maybe admitting vulnerability and creating a fictitious group of antagonists would intrigue this girl, but it probably wouldn't - how likely was it that she had some sort of compulsive hero syndrome (hah!)? But if it made her afraid for her safety or compelled her to leave to find an authority to rectify the situation, she would be quick to approach from a different angle to try to capture this one's attention.

"My trust has been shattered by those incidents, but if you're being truthful then I would like to become friends. My name is Princess Tidal."

Carol smiled brilliantly at the mention of that the mermaid would like to become friends. See? It isn’t so hard after all. However, at the mention of the group of cruel students and the reason why to speak while close to one another, Carol let her expression take a more determined one. Cruel students, villains to mermaids? Here? Oh, dear. While the student had originally been intending to come to this island in order to escape having to save people from strange enemies and such, but if trouble followed her around then Carol would certainly make sure that peace reigned wherever she could ensure it to. Why would they do such cruel things to a clearly harmless mermaid? A lesson appeared to be in order.

“Of course I’ll come over.” Carol smiled again as she took off her shoes and socks due to possibility of having to walk in shallow water, leaving them behind. “To think that such cruel actions are taking place at the school I just enrolled in…” The student sighed, a sigh contained mixed sadness of the bad nature of humankind and the acceptation that she’d never be able to avoid her fate as a hero. Carol smiled as she started walking towards the water. “Do not worry. If those students assault you again, I’ll come save you and make sure they learn the error of their ways. You see…” She produced a proud little smile. “I am somewhat of a server of justice, practiced in both magical arts and judo well enough to deal with any villains I might encounter. I actually came to this island to live as a normal girl for a while, but if trouble comes at me or any of my friends I will absolutely help out until this island is a safe and peaceful place for all students! Why? Because I’m Carol Myers~!” And so the proclaimed hero winked happily and confidently at the mermaid, showing how much she meant what she had just said.

While entering the more shallow water with her feet she heard the name and title of the person before her. Carol’s hand instantly went over her mouth again and eyes widened in a bit of surprise as she learned. “Ohmigosh! You’re a princess!?” She instantly reformed her posture to one of politeness fit to treat a possible royalty. “I apologize on behalf of humankind for the atrocities done to you. I will make sure they do not continue. And…” As she was about to reach where she couldn’t go deeper without getting her skirt wet, she stopped. “I’d be honored to be your friend, Princess Tidal.” And with that, Carol lifted up an arm to shake hands with the princess, confident that even if the mermaid was lying she’d be able to handle it easily enough. And if Tidal was telling the truth, then Carol simply couldn’t leave this situation alone…!

Is this girl for real? The Princess wonders if Carol is making fun of her with that insane story of being some kind of champion, but she seems sincere enough. And the magical powers and warrior skills were certainly plausible, for some reason that the Princess would never understand the school seemed to profile for girls with those traits. She delays her response a moment, her mind racing as it pictures this girl naked and sobbing, as well as the feel of her pussy being pounded.

All in due time however. The Princess decides to play with her some more first.

"Oh thank you Carol," she cries, taking her offered hand and scooping her up, crushing Carol against her bare tits as she joyfully kisses her cheeks. For a moment her hand wanders and clenches the student's ass, but just as Carol feels it, the hand is gone, so perhaps the Princess's hand merely slipped? She can certainly tell herself that.

"I can't tell you how much I hoped someone as brave and pure as you would wander by," she confesses as she sets Carol down on the rock beside her. "Truly you've restored my faith in the human race, and I would be delighted to call you friend. In fact, there are things I'd like to give you out of gratitude. Would you care to take a short swim to a nearby cave? I've got a wand that is said to have mystical powers" (that's what she said) "and a beautiful pearl necklace" (hope you don't mind if any gets on your face) "that I'd be honored if you would accept."

Carol had kind of prepared for the eventual possibility of being dragged down into the water or something similar. Tidal was, after all, a being of the sea. As such, Carol merely smiled and let herself be taken along as she was pressed against the joyful mermaid and got her school uniform wet due to the sudden contact with the wet skin. Oh, dear, the kisses and hugs…! Carol smiled happily, enduring and taking amusement from the situation which would otherwise have rendered others potentially uncomfortable. She also felt that hand momentarily clench one of her butt-cheeks, but dismissed it as coincidental for the moment. Whew. That was easier than I thought, Carol thought to herself while wondering if that was a little too easy, but it didn’t really matter since no matter the case, she’s Carol Myers and it is not a problem~!

“I’m happy to have been able to do so much for you, but I’ve more to do yet.” Carol smiled happily while incidentally wondering how long it would take for her uniform to dry up now as she was put down. “I would be honored to accept them as proof of our friendship.” Carol smiled happily at her, wishing for the moment that she had something to give in return which could be helpful to someone who lived most of her life underwater. “Will you just wait until I’ve changed to my bathing suit? I don’t know how familiar you are with human clothing,” Carol remarked considering Tidal’s complete lack of them, “but we usually don’t swim in usual clothes and none is considered indecent among humans. As such, there is a special kind of wear which we swim in.” Good thing I brought mine, Carol thought innocently. And a spare uniform, since this one is wet now. “May I? My swimsuit is in that bag over there.” So she said while gesturing to her wheeled bag that she left over there further inland.

“Um, is the cave underwater? I have many abilities, but breathing underwater is unfortunately not one of them…” Carol asked Tidal with a gentle smile on her lips, just simply curious on what circumstances this adventure she was undertaking now was going to lead her to.

"Oh, I suppose so..." says the Princess, frowning a little. "I've always found it disconcerting how humans feel they must constantly shroud their bodies in strange fiber, it looks awfully uncomfortable! But I suppose you have your reasons." She fidgets a bit nervously, recalling the days when she was new to clothes and indeed found it uncomfortable to look at humans wearing them. These days she had become quite an expert on clothing, in particular how best to remove it, so it wasn't such a big deal.

With that she dives back into the water with a splash, turning to watch Carol. "No but... we will need to go under water for a time to get there. Do not worry though, I know of your people's weakness in holding your breath. I will be able to help you so that you stay safe." I hope you like tongue, little girl.

“Maybe they look uncomfortable,” Carol told Tidal with a happy nod at her acceptance, “But we land-dwellers need to cover ourselves up in order to keep warm when it gets colder, and it also gives us protection against smaller threats such as bugs or the more intense rays from the sun which could burn the skin. Eventually, after having been wearing clothes for those reasons for a long amount of years, it became the norm and among humans it is now considered weird not to be wearing clothes. Thank you for understanding~!” And with that, Carol spun around and skipped over to where she had left the bag, pondering momentarily what it meant that the mermaid would keep her safe underwater. Some kind of air-bubble magic, perhaps? Erm, she knew from movies about the kissing way to do it, but it felt unlikely to be the case. Ah, well.

By pure inborn human instinct of decency Carol hid behind a tree as she undressed the school uniform, letting the fabrics slide off her smooth body, Carol was now entirely naked as she put her wet clothes on top of her backpack in order to keep it from the dirty ground as she pulled out her white bikini from the wheeled bag. There was an assigned school-uniform for swimming, but ah… This was free-time! Carol slipped on the white matching bikini of modest size to cover her private parts again. Now in a bikini it would be even more obvious than before that the girl’s bust was actually rather lacking in size (because I wanted her to look pure). Not even thinking about this fact, the student skipped back into view wearing this white bikini, baring her midriff and legs as the young girl hurried back barefoot to the water, her pink hair swaying behind her.

Upon reaching the sea she immediately threw herself in with a slight dive to overcome that first coldness as quickly as possible. Rising to the surface quickly enough, smiling as the coldness momentarily froze her body but would soon be better, her hands moving perfectly along to the recommended ways for humans to swim, obviously. So, feeling good about her own swimming ability she spun around on the spot with her head above the water, still getting used to the current cold, and looked with a happy smile on the one whose element she had just entered.

“So, where to?”

She's disappointed and a little worried when Carol Myer's steps out of the water - the girl's clearly a complete idiot, but seemed to be capable of at least basic motor functions. Did The Princess go too far in underestimating her? Maybe she wouldn't come back? The Princess would never get over her disappointment if some other monster raped her first, nor would she forgive the insult. She had already begun to think of Carol as "her" girl, and it didn't matter that it wasn't her wedding night, she was claiming royal rights to her body.

She resists the impulse to simply seize her on the spot and instead thinks of backup plans - if Carol didn't come back, if she did make it to her dorm without getting raped, then she'd want to take a shower, she had spent all day journeying and having had contact with sea water would add to the incentive. Then the Princess could join her as soon as she switched it on, and show her just why the more experienced girls on this island were leery of bathing.

Her disappointment grows when she sees she's going behind a tree to change, if only Carol had trusted her enough to ask her not to look, then she could pretend to comply while ruthlessly spying on her. She copes by envisioning what it would look like when Carol undressed - mid-sized breasts spilling free as she tugs off her bra, letting out a pert little cry when the fabric brushes against her nipples (how a woman could function with her twins being smothered constantly the Princess couldn't understand, no more than she could possibly understand the measures that women who have gravity to worry about must take). Next comes the skirt and panties... the Princess decides that Carol is unshaved, and that the curtains match the rug, so the cleft of her pussy is mostly concealed by a pink bush. Does she finger herself for a moment, given that she's just got done staring at the most amazing set of tits in the galaxy? The Princess can't really imagine that she would, as much as she'd like to, this one's an innocent. So all she does is put on her one-piece bathing suit, not wanting to let the Princess see so much as her belly button and then -

Here she comes.

The first thing the Princess notices is that she's overestimated Carol's bust by a fair margin, and she's in the presence of a genuine pettanko. This doesn't disappoint her so much as it surprises her - the school seemed to profile students for two things: Magical powers, and huge tits. The first was puzzling to the Princess since if they did the opposite and simply excluded such students from coming, then the doubtless staggering expense of the dampeners would be unnecessary. The second annoyed her, since she considered herself a connoisseur of human girls and would have liked a greater variety of body type than the shapely, stunningly gorgeous women she always got (the Princess can always find a way to complain about something).

She points out to sea with a smile. "Follow me, Carol Myers." With that she dives in and begins swimming, immediately showing off her superior speed and agility beneath the waves. To prevent herself from leaving Carol behind she circles her underwater occasionally, this having the benefit of giving her perfect underwater eyes an unobstructed view of the student's cute little butt, without even having to pretend that's not what she's staring at.

Oblivious to the thoughts that were running through Tidal’s mind, Carol had merely made her way into the water where she’d have turned towards the mermaid, clearly showing how easy she trusted some complete stranger for the sake of friendship and good-will by going into her element like that. Besides, what did Carol have to worry about? Even if something dangerous were to happen, she could easily handle it with all the powers and skills at her disposal! After all, she’s Carol Myers~!

So, wearing her two-piece white bikini exposing most of her even if it covered the important parts, Carol took off in the direction indicated by Tidal. Even though the student was a really good swimmer, there was simply no way she could swim at the same speed as a being born and bred in water. A weakness that could be covered by making a friend out of one, Carol smiled happily to herself about. Anyone else but herself might have been worried about swimming out to who knows where by themselves, but not Carol. She knew fully well that even in the case of trouble, she could protect herself. Even if she couldn’t, she would probably follow. Simply due to trust.

So, the princess was swimming around her as the student was making her way in the indicated direction, taking in every aspect of how the young body flexed its muscles with every movement of swimming. The legs spreading out to give a perfect view of the spread bottom before closing up again to swim forward. Carol mostly keeping her eyes forward but put her head in the water every once in a while to look at what she could see of Tidal underwater. With great patience, the student would continue swimming as long as was necessary.

“Heh-heh, I didn’t think I’d be embarking on any kind of adventure on the very first day~!” Carol happily giggled to herself over the water-level just as a way to extrude her excitement about the situation. She looked forward to showing this island and its inhabitants what Carol Myers was capable of~!

"Well, you'll probably have many more such adventures," says the Princess sagely. "You'll find this island such a place where these things are bound to happen." With those words the Princess was being completely honest. She expected Carol to spend the time waiting for her graduation being used by every slimy, lust-crazed, and infernal creature inhabiting this place. That didn't really concern her, all she thought of was the rare thrill that would come of taking a woman that wasn't pre-raped already.

She wouldn't have to keep up this ruse for much longer, they'd be at their destination soon. She could of course have just snatched Carol the moment she stepped into the water and begun sodomizing her on the spot, but that would have only satisfied her basest pleasures. No, this way she could have her in the perfect environment, slowly dawning on her that she can't fight, can't escape. The terror would be palpable.

Soon they're at the spot where they need to submerge. The Princess surfaces in front of Carol, looking at her intently. "We're almost there, Carol. I'm going to need you to hold on tight, and take a very deep breath right now. If... if you trust me, that is. I understand I must be very strange to you..." she blinks demurely, giving Carol the best soft, vulnerable gaze that she can possibly fake. "Then just hold on to me, and give me a tug if you feel like you're running out of air."

“Oh? There’s that much trouble at this school?” Carol asked above water before breathing in to swim a bit with her head under the sea for a bit, just for the experience. She came up again after a particular wave and gasped out happily to get the air, feeling like she was guided by destiny. “Guess it was no coincidence that I was drawn to this school~! Don’t worry, leave everything to me! Carol Myers will use her powers to make sure all villainous activity on this school meets its end, and that when I graduate I will leave behind the happiest school on Earth~!” … Little did she realize the irony of what she had just said. Carol was currently looking forward to cleaning up some evil. So much for living a normal girl’s life on this school. Oh, who was she kidding… This was what she lived for! To save people! To ensure evil has no hand in terrorizing innocents! She might not know what was waiting for her, but if she met a mermaid on the very first day it was BOUND to be interesting…!

So, it was time to submerge. Carol stopped at the location, not bothering to look just how far from land they had got. The student smiled happily at the princess, showing her willingness to go.

“Of course I trust you. You’ve given me no reason not to~!” … And even if Tidal in fact was someone who couldn’t be trusted, Carol was solidly confident that she could unravel and escape any trap that might possibly get in her way. If so was the case, then Carol would simply have to teach her a lesson, right? And… hm… um…

“So, how deep are we going? I mean, humans have a certain limit to what water-pressure we can handle without equipment. Or do you have a way to prevent such hazards? … Ah, well. I’ll trust you~!” With that, Carol took herself a deep breath and hugged ahold of Tidal in any way she gestured Carol should. It really wasn’t a problem. If it turned troublesome, Carol could use her powers to physically lift the pressure off her, no problem. And if it turned too dangerous, it was just a matter of releasing Tidal and using her powers to get up to the surface. No problem at all~!
