Chapter 6 - Will We Meet Tomorrow?
When Sarasa-kun touched me, he felt cold. As my eyes widened from the sudden action, Sarasa-kun sadly furrowed his brow.
Sarasa: The truth is... I heard that I'm not allowed to touch humans.
MC: R-Really? ...But, it seems like you're all right.
Sarasa: ...Yeah.
Sarasa-kun nodded as he affectionately stroked my hand.
MC: Did you... wanted to check something?
Sarasa: ...No, it's just that... I wanted to touch MC.
MC: Eh...
After hearing that just now, my cheeks became warm and I looked away from his gaze quickly. I heard Sarasa-kun chuckling a little...
......
Before we knew it, the sun had gone down and the orange sky was shining on us.
Sarasa: Will we meet tomorrow?
MC: Sure.
After making that promise, Sarasa-kun became happy and smiled innocently...
Chapter 7 - The Human Body
Since then, the two of us would have fun talking to each other at the shoreline from morning to night.
Sarasa: Time... has gone by again. Can we meet again tomorrow?
MC: Sure.
Then, once again today, I was having fun spending time with Sarasa-kun. Although...
MC: U-Um... Sarasa-kun?
Sarasa: Eh? What?
MC: You're touching me there...
Lately, Sarasa-kun has been touching my body here and there without any restraints.
(It's not that I hate it, but...)
Not only was I happy about Sarasa-kun touching me, but I was feeling embarrassed too. Which was making my cheeks warm instantly.
Sarasa: Ah... Am I not allowed to touch you there?
Sarasa-kun touched my cheek softly with his cold hand.
MC: I-It's not like that, but...
Then... After I told him that, his hand went a little bit lower.
(Eh...!)
His hand was stroking my nape gently...
(It tickles...)
As Sarasa-kun was staring at my face, I couldn't bring myself to look at him in the eye.
Sarasa: That's right, can humans... swim?
MC: W-We can swim, but some people can't...
After hearing my answer, he touched my leg next.
MC: !
Sarasa: So warm... Humans are really warm. Somehow, touching you feels nice.
MC: R-Really...?
Sarasa: Yeah... This spot is the warmest.
Sarasa-kun touched my inner thigh as he said that.
MC: ...
When I shook off his hand without thinking, Sarasa-kun widened his eyes in surprise.
Sarasa: Eh? ...A-Are you okay?
MC: ...I-I'm sorry.
When I apologized, I held my red cheeks.
Sarasa: Human bodies aren't just warm, they're really smooth... They're nothing like mermaid scales. Sorry, I'll be more careful, so just one more time...
As Sarasa-kun stared at my leg, he slowly stroked it up and down.
Sarasa: MC, does this tickle your leg?
MC: No, not really...
When I saw Sarasa-kun mumbling something, I looked at him oddly.
(It was either by his natural instincts... or he did it on purpose...)
As I was thinking of such things, he suddenly held my hand.
Sarasa: Try touching my body too, MC.
MC: Eh...
Those words made my heart race as Sarasa-kun gently placed my hand against his chest.
MC: Ah...
My hand felt his heart that was going fast a little.
(Sarasa-kun's heart... is beating too?)
While feeling Sarasa-kun's heartbeat, I looked at him in the eye and gave him a kind smile...
Last Chapter - A Mermaid's Kiss
The next day...
I arrived at the shoreline again.
(I'm happy to be seeing Sarasa-kun like this every day...)
When I thought of that, I looked at the beautifully calm ocean. As I was thinking about Sarasa-kun, I went to the usual spot...
MC: Huh...?
Usually, Sarasa-kun would arrive early, but he didn't today.
(I wonder why, did something happen...)
Feeling uneasy, I stared at the deep blue ocean. Then...
MC: Ah...
Among the sparkling sheet of water, Sarasa-kun appeared from underwater. As water was dripping from his blue hair, the sunlight made his golden eyes shine...
(Pretty...)
I couldn't help, but look at him, despite that I've seen him many times.
Sarasa: ...Come here.
When Sarasa-kun signaled me to come over, I walked across the beach towards him.
Sarasa: More.
MC: M-More...?
After saying that, I crouched down and got closer to Sarasa-kun's face and at that moment...
MC: !!
Sarasa-kun's lips gently touched my own.
(Sarasa-kun...?)
After our lips touched, I looked at him in a daze.
Sarasa: ...I heard that I would disappear.
MC: Eh...?
Sarasa: If a mermaid kisses a human, they would disappear. I didn't though.
Sarasa-kun made a satisfied smile and swam gracefully in the ocean after saying that.
(No way... I don't know what I would do if he really did disappear.)
As I placed my hands on my red cheeks, Sarasa-kun approached me and jumped out from the water.
MC: Ah, Sarasa-kun!
With a cheerful laugh, Sarasa-kun went back into the water again. Despite that he was acting childish, I went to play at the beach and at that moment...
Sarasa: MC, let's swim together.
MC: Eh!
Sarasa: Your clothes are already wet.
When I looked at myself, my wet clothes became transparent and my undergarments were showing.
(No way... How embarrassing...!)
Surprised, I quickly hid my body with my hands as Sarasa-kun looked at me oddly.
Sarasa: MC, what are you doing?
MC: Eh... Um, my undergarments can be seen...
Sarasa: ...Which are your undergarments?
When Sarasa-kun got closer, he looked at my body closely.
MC: Ah... Don't look at me like that...
As I was trembling in fear, I turned my back on him. Concerned about me, Sarasa-kun happily spoke to me.
Sarasa: Hey, MC, let's swim together.
MC: But, I'm not good at swimming.
Sarasa: I'll stay with you.
When those words made me feel really happy, I faced Sarasa-kun again. With resolve, I gave him a small nod and then...
MC: Eh!
(Sarasa-kun, what are you...!!)
Sarasa-kun reached out towards my blouse and began to undo one of the buttons.
MC: H-Hey, wait...!
Sarasa: What's wrong?
Sarasa-kun gave me a blank stare.
MC: What's wrong, you say...
Sarasa: ...Don't humans go into the ocean naked?
MC: Humans don't do it naked, they go swimming in swimsuits.
Sarasa: How strange... that is.
Sarasa-kun made a disappointed look.
(Somehow, my heart was going so fast that I thought it was going to stop...)
Sarasa: Then, let's go swimming together next time. Promise...
MC: ...Sure.
After making that promise with Sarasa-kun, we entertained ourselves by talking again...
......
Just like the ocean, the sky became a dark blue.
Sarasa: It's already this late...
When Sarasa-kun said that, he threw himself into the ocean.
(There he goes...)
Even though I'll be seeing him tomorrow... Somehow, I was feeling sad as I watched him return to the ocean from the beach. At that moment...
MC: !!
Along with the sound of a splash, Sarasa-kun appeared again. I was surprised by the splashing drops of water.
Sarasa: ...
He held my cheeks and touched my lips with his.
MC: Mm...
Aside from the one during the day, this one was a deeper kiss.
(Sarasa-kun...?)
Sarasa: Sorry. But, I wanted to kiss you just one more time.
After backing away slowly, Sarasa-kun furrowed his brow apologetically.
Sarasa: Kissing is nice. They're really heart racing. Do you like kissing, MC?
MC: Eh...
Due to the sudden question, I was looking at Sarasa-kun before I knew it.
Sarasa: ...Don't humans kiss people that are important to them?
MC: Yes...
As our faces were touching closely, my heartbeat became unbearable.
Sarasa: Mermaid companions entwined their tail fins as a sign of affection. But... Kissing feels more like a sign of affection. Can we kiss again?
When I got caught by Sarasa-kun's big eyes, I became unable to look away from them. After giving a small nod, Sarasa-kun smiled happily...
