The Little Mermaid

Ctilla and I woke up the next morning.

Ctilla smiled brightly and spoke to me.

“Honey. Did you sleep well in my crystal room?”

“Yeah. It was so cozy, I slept like a log.”

“My beloved honey is in my crystal room… It’s like a dream. Kyaa!”

I answered by kissing Ctilla on the forehead.

I decided to return to the Sebasti tribe.

Ctilla put me in the crystal room and carried me to where the Sebasti tribe was.

I could feel the vibrations of Ctilla’s massive body moving.

I hugged Ctilla’s human form and whispered sweet nothings to each other.

I asked Ctilla what I was curious about.

“Ctilla. The mermaids said they have to stop you when you move your location. Why did you move?”

Ctilla pouted and replied.

“Mermaids are bad guys. I’ve been in this spot for too long, so delicious fish are scared and don’t come here much. I’m just moving around to find food without thinking, but the mermaids always give it meaning and attack me.”

“I see… The mermaids were bad guys.”

“Yeah. It’s not like I’m deliberately harming them, I’m just going where I want to go, so why do they interfere…?”

“But why were you alone in this big ocean?”

“Krakens become independent when they become adults. I was in the open sea, but out of curiosity, I entered a river on this continent. I went up the river and hid on land, and eventually arrived at this sea.”

“That was a long journey.”

“But as soon as I entered the sea, the mermaids attacked me, so I ran away to this side. I met the Sahagins, and they accepted me as their guardian deity, so I just settled down and my body grew enormously.”

“It’s fortunate that you met the Sahagins.”

“Yeah! They’re like my pets.”

“Hmm… I see. Can you also go on land?”

“I can go on land, but I don’t like it. I get weaker on land.”

“I gave you the Tentacle trait, so you won’t be weak on land anymore.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I gave you tougher skin, land breathing, land pressure adaptation, etc., so try it out.”

“Thank you! My honey!”

We were talking when we arrived at the place where the Sebasti tribe was.

Ctilla opened the crystal room, let me down, and said.

“I’m going to my babies~ Call me if you need anything~~!”

“Thank you~ Pretty girl! And I’ll teach you one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“You can change into human form.”

“!”

Ctilla was startled, and then she realized.

Ctilla gradually shrank and became a naked girl in the crystal room.

She was 140cm tall with A-cup breasts, long white silver hair, a tough face like a neighborhood bully, a slender body and arms, the curves of an adult woman, and legs.

Ctilla smiled cutely.

“Kyaa!”

Ctilla jumped and ran around as if she was amazed.

“I can go on land now too! Thank you for the gift~ Honey.”

Ctilla turned back into a giant octopus, waved her octopus arms, said goodbye, and returned to her eggs.

“Bye-bye!”

I returned to human form.

Sebasti tribe soldiers came out to greet me.

A Sahagin soldier said.

“Kirureureuk. All the chieftains of the Sahagin have gathered. Kiik. They want to meet the great being.”

“Lead the way.”

The soldier led me to a giant shipwreck, which was a place to welcome guests.

There were over 100 Sahagins there, including my companions as well as the Sebasti chieftain Mamoratu.

The Sahagins’ reactions to seeing me were all different.

Some opened their mouths and froze. Some knelt down. Some shook their heads as if they couldn’t believe it.

The commonality of the scenes they showed was respect and awe.

A muscular Sahagin with a shark’s head, about 3m tall, stood up as a representative and approached me.

“I am Kalkarias, the chieftain of the Carcharodon tribe. I am in charge of gathering the opinions of the Sahagins. I greet the great being of darkness.”

Kalkarias said and bowed to me.

Other Sahagins stood up one by one and introduced themselves.

“I am Viridis, the chieftain of the Tetraodon tribe. I greet the great being of darkness.”

“I am…”

When all the introductions were over, Kalkarias said to me.

“Would you tell us the purpose of the great being’s visit here?”

I gave a speech in a loud voice.

“I am Kyle, the King of Tentacles and the Champion of the Dark Races. I have been given the responsibility of making the continent a place where the Dark Races can live happily. I will destroy the Mermaid Kingdom and create a sea where the Sahagins can live happily. All Sahagins. Join my cause!”

It was an arrogant statement, but the Sahagin chieftains firmly believed my words due to my Dark Race Champion charisma.

The Sahagin chieftains waved their hands up and shouted “Waaaah!” and cheered.

Kalkarias said.

“All Sahagins will follow the being of darkness. Before that, I have one request.”

“What is it?”

“I am worried that it may be disrespectful to the great being, but could you show us the power of the great being? The Mermaid King is really strong, so we need assurance.”

“I understand. Everyone, get out of there!”

It was better to show this with one action than a hundred words.

The Sahagin chieftains poured out of the shipwreck.

I pulled out dozens of tentacles from my body and simultaneously shot Dark Mana Cannons of 3000 magic power at the mountain far away.

Jiiiiiiing Kwagagagagang

The top of the mountain hit by the Mana Cannon disappeared, making the mountain shorter.

All the Sahagins screamed, shook their bodies like monkeys, and trembled.

“Kireuk Kireureureuk!”

“Great being of darkness!”

“He’s a god! He’s a god!”

Kalkarias approached me, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head.

“I pay my respects to the overwhelming power of the great being of darkness. All Sahagins will revere the great being as a god.”

“Well thought out.”

I clenched both fists, raised them high, and declared loudly.

“I have become the husband of Kraken Ctilla, your guardian deity! And I am the Dark Race Champion! If you follow me, I will give you an environment where you can devour as you please and endless prosperity!”

“Kireureureureu!!!”

“Kireureuk Kireureureu!!!”

All the Sahagins around shook their bodies and shouted with joy.

The Sahagins’ cheers echoed far into the sea.

I started planning for the future with the Sahagins.

—

Ariel became very depressed after Kyle disappeared.

Ariel spent all day in Kyle’s room, rolling around and holding onto the bedding Kyle used.

King Poseidon, who heard reports of Ariel’s appearance, was suffering from chronic headaches due to stress.

Ariel gradually became obsessed with legs.

Lucy’s boasting about her legs made her obsession with legs even greater.

Ariel believed that if she had legs like a human, Kyle would fall deeply in love with her and would not be able to escape.

“I have to get legs. How do I get legs?”

Ariel read history and mythology books from the library and looked for ways for a mermaid to get legs.

Ariel stopped at a certain part of the mythology book.

It said that old Krakens could cast powerful magic and could change the form of living things in exchange for a price.

“This is it! But what price should I pay?”

Ariel thought hard and decided to give her jewels and seashells as a price.

Ariel packed her jewels and seashells into a bag and left the palace.

When Ariel went out of the huge hole leading out of the kingdom, the soldiers didn’t really stop her.

Recently, Ariel had been obsessed with a strange man and had only been in the kingdom, but before that, she had always gone out to play.

Ariel went around in a circle so that the other soldiers wouldn’t know which direction she was going, and swam southeast where the Kraken was.

As Ariel got closer to the Sahagin area, mermaid soldiers who were patrolling the area approached.

“Stop! Stop!”

The mermaid soldiers saw her and realized that she was Princess Ariel.

“Princess Ariel! This place is dangerous. What’s going on?”

Ariel was not used to being caught like this, so she stuttered.

“W-well. I was curious, so I came.”

“Please go back quickly. You guys, take her back to the kingdom.”

“Wait. Can’t I go there once?”

“It’s dangerous! This place is swarming with Sahagins.”

“Kyle is there!”

The soldier thought about who Kyle was and remembered the rumor that Princess Ariel was deeply in love with an outsider and the guy who had entered a few days ago.

“We don’t know if that guy is alive or dead. If the princess goes in, we will all be killed by His Majesty.”

Ariel couldn’t solve the problem no matter how much she insisted, so she just became sullen and gave up.

——————–

I was resting in my room in the shipwreck.

Suddenly, I felt a brain parasite tentacle approaching this way from the direction of the kingdom.

It was the Little Mermaid Ariel.

I jumped up and instructed the Sahagins.

“Everyone, arm yourselves! Go to the border right now!”

I had become the god of the Sahagins, so I could always give orders to the Sahagins.

The Sahagins were also carving rocks similarly to me to make totems and offering sacrifices to fish.

The Sahagins gathered, buzzing and armed with harpoons, giant fish bones, and shipwreck items.

I shouted.

“Let’s go to the border right now!”

I turned into a tentacle form and swam to Ariel, and the Sahagins followed me.

Lucy-nuna, Melissa, Winston, and Lime-sensei stayed here.

Ariel was currently at the border of the Sahagin area, and she was probably caught by the mermaid patrol.

I had to arrive before Ariel went back.

As we moved quickly, I saw Ariel returning with the mermaid patrol in front of us.

I quickly rushed towards the mermaid patrol.

The mermaid patrol discovered us and blew conch shell flutes.

Ppireuririri! Ppireuriri!

The sound spread throughout the sea, so mermaid soldiers would soon gather.

I wrapped my tentacle around the mermaid’s trident blocking my way and pulled it.

The mermaid was pulled forward by the enormous force and screamed.

“Euaaaa! The power is too strong!”

I stretched out a blade tentacle and pierced the mermaid’s forehead, and the mermaid’s blood-mixed brain fluid flowed out into the sea.

The mermaid army shouted.

“It’s a dirty Sahagin and a sea monster! Protect the princess!”

Soon, the Sahagins and mermaid soldiers who followed me collided.

The mermaid soldiers swung and stabbed tridents, and the Sahagins fought like beasts, using all their harpoons, fingernails, claws, thorns, and teeth.

Chaeng Chaeng Kang Kagang

The sound of weapons clashing echoed everywhere.

I split the patrol captain wearing golden armor and a helmet blocking my way in half, along with his trident, with a blade tentacle covered in aura.

I saw Ariel running away with two soldiers.

I ordered Ariel’s brain parasite tentacle to make Ariel come back.

———————-

Ariel was running away when she felt a sense of duty to go to the Sahagins right now.

If she went to the Sahagins, all her wishes would be fulfilled, and if she missed this opportunity, she felt like she would regret it forever.

Ariel shook off the soldier’s hand, turned around, and quickly swam to the tentacle.

The two soldiers followed Ariel, but their bodies were pierced by the tentacle and they died.

Ariel was unaware of the battle taking place around her.

When Ariel reached the tentacle, she lost consciousness.

———————–

I wrapped Ariel in my tentacle and returned to the Sahagin area.

When I took Ariel, the mermaid soldiers rushed at me desperately, but I could handle these weaklings like toys.

I slaughtered the mermaid soldiers and entered the Sahagin area.

The other Sahagins also stopped fighting and followed me back.

When I brought Ariel back to the Sebasti tribe, all the Sahagins praised me.

“We gave the mermaids a taste of their own medicine! Kireuk Kireuk.”

“We won because the god was with us! Kireureureuk!”

“The great god has obtained spoils! Mermaids are nothing special! Kireuk Kireureureuk.”

I took Ariel to my room, laid her on the bed, and woke her up.

When Ariel opened her eyes, she saw a tentacle with a round body, six eyes and a mouth, and numerous tentacle legs.

But strangely, the feeling she felt for this tentacle was not disgust, but intimacy and affection.

It somehow looked cute.

Ariel asked.

“Who are you?”

“I am the great being of darkness.”

“What is that?”

“Hmm… I am the one who leads the beings of darkness.”

“There is such a thing. What are you going to do to me?”

“I’m not going to do anything. Just stay here and I’ll send you back if you want.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Why did you come here?”

“I want to have legs. I have a lover that I love, but that lover keeps getting swayed by other bitches. If I just had legs, he would fall deeply in love with me.”

“How do you plan to get legs here?”

“In the mythology I read, the Kraken can change the form of living things in exchange for a price.”

“Really?”

I was also surprised, so I immediately sent a communication to Ctilla through the tentacle mental network.

– [Ctilla!]

– [Why? My honey.]

– [Can you change the form of living things in exchange for a price?]

– [No.]

– [There are Krakens like that in mythology?]

– [Ah. I can’t, but I’ve heard that there are also shamans among the wise Krakens in the larger sea. They would be able to do it.]

– [I see. Thank you for letting me know~]

– [Yeah. But you’re just saying what you need and ending it?]

– [I love you! Pretty girl!]

– [I love you too~ My cutie!]

I cut off the communication and thought hard.

Ariel is not strong, but I like her, so I want to make her my subordinate.

I said to Ariel.

“I am a being of darkness greater than the Kraken and the god of the Sahagins. If you give me a price, I will give you legs.”

Ariel’s eyes widened and she asked.

“Really?”

“Yeah. I will give you the power of darkness. If you accept my baptism, I will give you legs.”

“Are you going to do something bad to me!”

“I will not do anything to you. I just find it fun to watch mortals bickering.”

Strangely, Ariel felt confident that this tentacle would really not do anything to her.

Ariel thought hard and asked.

“What do I have to do?”

“To give you legs, I have to give you a baptism. Accept me.”

Ariel replied.

“Okay. Give me legs.”

Ttiring

[Use 200pt to make the mermaid Ariel a Tentacle Hero.]

‘Okay’

My tentacle touched Ariel’s nose and anesthetic gas came out, and Ariel lost consciousness.
