The Merman, My Man Chapter 232: It’s Coming Out
Dicken’s long, narrow eyes were half-shut, the blue pupils beneath murky. He was drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness, and his breathing was choppy like a candle in the wind that might go out at any moment. “Dicken.” I touched his cheek worriedly and called out to him twice, but he did not react at all, while his breathing was getting weaker.Immense terror gripped my heart right then and almost suffocated me, but I calmed down at the thought that Dicken could only count on me now, and that there was no one else who could save him.I took a deep breath to calm myself, and dropped to a crouch, putting my ear against his chest to listen to his heartbeat. It was getting weaker and too slow, and my heart sank.I had learnt emergency resuscitation for humans, but had no idea if it worked for merfolk. Still, it was worth a try judging from the upper half of their bodies, and it wasn’t like I had any other choice.I kept Dicken’s body and head level, and pressed his chest
The Merman, My Man Chapter 233: Awakening His Self
“Dicken… It’s me… Linda!”I struggled to call out to him, even as tears welled in my eyes from the pain as the tentacle flailed around in my mouth. It left my vision blurring even as I looked into Dicken’s jet-black eyes, and attempted to awaken his self.The despair and desperation in the face of death seemed to ignite my potential, and my merfolk strength seemed to be bursting out of my body. I could even feel sharp claws extending out of my skin, resisting Dicken’s control by instinct and eventually allowing me to free one hand.I knew that I should defend myself with those nails, but I was worried that I would hurt him because I didn’t know my strength, reducing the chance of Dicken coming to his senses. In addition, I couldn’t call out to the other crew on the ship for help, because that would either lead to Dicken’s capture, or the entire crew becoming his food. Those concerns kept me silent as I struggled by keeping my legs together to stop the tentacles from advancing furt
The Merman, My Man Chapter 234: Lock Him Up
I was shocked. Was Dicken trying to heal me like he did before? And at that part… Who knew what horrors might follow? I hence promptly struggled and shielded that sensitive spot of mine, saying, “I’m fine, Dicken, but what about you? I’ll help you—what do I need to do?”Nonetheless, Dicken didn’t answer my question, and merely ran his webbed claws against the trail of blood that had dried between my legs. His thin lips pursed tightly as his facial muscles twitched, complex emotions surged in his eyes, ranging from doting, self-blame, to anguish.At the same time, those purple-black speckles appeared restless again, and were oozing fluids again. My hunch was that Dicken’s emotions were exciting the other Dicken, and I promptly held his cheeks and assured him, “It’s fine, Dicken—calm down. It’s just a little bleeding, I’ll be alright. It’s much better than taking a bullet. I’ll regenerate anyway since I have your genes, remember?”“Lock me up, Linda,” he said, watching me, and I could
The Merman, My Man Chapter 235: Am I the Price?
I couldn’t help rejoicing that Dicken was asleep right now, allowing me to lay on top of him without a care while I expressed my greediness. I never imagined that there were genes of such lovesick proportions in my body, and my past self would be laughing at the present me in raucous laughter.‘But what can I do, now that I am irrevocably in love with this bastard?’Even as my thoughts ran wild, I suddenly felt his fishtail twitch. “Now what are you doing, you little minx?”I turned towards the voice to find that Dicken had already woken up, and was narrowing his eyes at where my lips were touching, which appeared to be getting rock-hard at the moment. My cheeks heated up right then, but I was not about to back off, and instead doubled down by licking the tip. “Like it?”Seemingly unable to resist the impulse, his fishtail struggled against its chains while he started to gulp, his breaths turning short and rushed. Still, he kept his eyes shut as he said hoarsely, “Stop. I’ll hurt y
The Merman, My Man Chapter 236: Self-Sacrifice
“You’re going to die.” Dicken narrowed his long, wide eyes, his gaze as sharp as a bloodthirsty blade. Even so, I didn’t avoid his menacing glare and instead met it directly, even shrugging nonchalantly as I said, “I’m prepared and willing to do it for you.”Dicken was clearly stunned, and he looked at me in surprise. I had a feeling that he did not expect me to be willing to sacrifice myself for him, or perhaps he simply did not want to ask so much. For my part, I had no idea if I should speak such words of passion so directly, but it was how I sincerely felt.Dicken stared at me for a long time without saying a thing, and it seemed to take him a lot of strength to look away. However, he did not seem keen on responding to my declaration, and merely looked out beyond the window to the boundless sea. “When I return to the land of my tribe, I would be able to get to the Nest and reforge my body.”“Reforge?”“Yes. I’ll sever my flesh from my spirit, and build a new body for myself.”
The Merman, My Man Chapter 237: Swirling Mist
But why was I alone on the life raft? I remembered that I was briefly unconscious after I was attacked, and woke up on the boat, having saved my wounded classmates. Did I forget this part of my memories?I looked at myself, unconscious in the life raft when a figure suddenly streaked through the waves. My eyes widened as a prediction struck me, and just as I expected, I saw the figure with long black hair slowly breaching the surface and swimming to the life raft. Taking my leg, he licked it as he always did to heal my wound, and took off my now-useless scuba suit. He held me in his arms as if I was a child once more, even though I was now an adult.However, I appeared to be still traumatized by my fight against the mutated crab, and struggled against Dicken’s sudden embrace, flailing my limbs and crying loudly in panic. Dicken only held me tighter in response, hesitating for a moment after seeing my reaction and stopped my cries with a kiss while he patted my back in assurance. I
The Merman, My Man Chapter 238: The Merman With the Dark Purple Tail
“Who’s there?” I called out to the figure. The figure moved slowly, but its posture was weird, having a bent neck and raised shoulders. It raised his hand and waved at me, as if beckoning me forward.Puzzled, I approached the figure even as it moved, but it was too quick for me to keep up, and disappeared into the mist in a split second.That was when I noticed in shock that the light from the washroom nearby had shown up beside me, and I was standing at the edge of the deck, the pitch-black surface of the sea right beside me. I shook my head, wondering if I was still asleep or if I’d lost my bearings in the mist.That was when I suddenly saw the silhouette of another ship, slowly appearing several meters opposite the Seeker. Could Gary’s ship be docking with ours? I dropped to a crouch by instinct to hide behind the scaffolding and looked out through the gap, immediately realizing that it wasn’t Gary’s ship. It was a familiar ship, however, with the white hull I was used to so
The Merman, My Man Chapter 239: Getting the Wrong Person
Blazing flames ignited behind the merman, and he looked as if he was surrounded by a raging inferno. It was an especially fearsome sight in the darkness, presenting him as if he was an undying spirit that crawled out of the ocean.From the lower deck, he slowly slithered from the stairs to the deck above, his soaked dark purple hair spread loosely over his body, making him look devilish yet eerie. I noticed that there was a katana sticking into his belly and out of his back, but it didn’t seem to inflict meaningful damage—he still moved steadily and powerfully, and he was flailing his webbed claws at the humans nearby who were fleeing, dicing their bodies into pieces like a skilled butcher and instantly covering the deck with blood.Through it all, his eyes were leveled at Mary without once blinking, his eyes carrying a wild yet repressed emotion at the girl shrinking into herself in a corner.I dare say that the emotion was not hate, but the exact opposite—it was love.Despite my
