Summary[]
After another loss at the hands of the Three Mermaid Princesses, Sheshe and Mimi bicker at each other because of Fuku's comments. Sheshe scolds Mimi for her clumsiness and Mimi shouted at Sheshe for not looking out for her. After Sheshe said that she wished she never had a sister like her, Mimi ran away, Mimi went to the surface to look for the Mermaid Princesses.
Arriving at the town where the Mermaid Princesses supposedly lived, Mimi wore a human disguise to blend in with the humans. She tried singing while walking to lure out them out, but after half a day, nothing turned up. Mimi was wandering the streets feeling exhausted and thirsty, stopping at a drinking fountain for some water. Failing to turn on the drinking fountain properly and getting splashed in the face with water, Lucia who was walking by, offered her a handkerchief. Mimi mistook Lucia's generosity as her laughing at Mimi's clumsiness, and yelled at her. The two of them were catfighting until Mimi's stomach growled, Lucia realized she was hungry, and asked if she'd like to come over to her place. Mimi was offered a plate of sandwiches which she gobbled up without haste. Lucia explained to Nikora about her situation. Hanon and Rina also came over, seeing Mimi eating at the table, Lucia told them she met her on the way home, and finally asked for her name. Mimi was hesitating on what she should say. Noticing a pot of marigold flowers outside the window, she told them she was called "Mari". Lucia figured out "Mari" had nowhere else to stay since she didn't intend on going home to her sister, she suggested that "Mari" could the night at Pearl Piari.
At night, Lucia gave Mimi her pink pajamas to wear, despite Mimi not liking the colour pink, she said she didn't mind. Hanon and Rina came over to Lucia's room, Nikora had prepared food for them. After eating, the four girls started chit-chatting, and Mimi told the trio about her "rivals". Not knowing the "rivals" are actually them, Lucia, Hanon and Rina encouraged her to fight her "rivals" and don't give up no matter what.
The next day, after accepting the advice from her new "friends", she decides to fight the Mermaid Princesses on her own. Meanwhile, Sheshe was down in the sea, she was worried since Mimi hadn't come home all night. Fuku noticed that Mimi is not with Sheshe and asked her if she could handle capturing the mermaid princesses all on her own. Although Sheshe pretends that she doesn't care, she was secretly agitated.
Mimi created a water tornado underwater to lure out the Mermaid Princesses, she also got to sing her own solo version of Yami No Baroque. But since their songs don't harm mermaids if they don't sing them together, it had no effect on Lucia, Hanon and Rina. Mimi almost ran away when the mermaid princesses began singing, but she was determinded to defeat them after remembering her "friends" words of encouragement. She tried to fight back at the mermaid princesses but was already beginning to lose strength.
Eventually, she couldn't stand the songs anymore and floated away after getting attacked with the mermaid's Love Shower Pitch. Luckily, Sheshe who was watching the scene happen from far away, came to her rescue. She held Mimi and told her that she was her very important sister. She was very angry at the mermaid princesses for hurting Mimi and used the ball of light to create water tornados to attack them. But Mimi soon fainted, She was very worried and left to heal her. Sheshe took Mimi to the bottom of the ocean and used the ball of light to heal Mimi. Knowing this would get her punished by Mikeru, Mimi told Sheshe to not heal her. But Sheshe did not care whether they get punished as long as they are with each other. At the end Mimi hugged Sheshe while crying.
