The Little Merman Demands Legs from the Sea Witch - Chapter 31
“No, I came to ask you for legs though?”
Iko was stunned, not understanding what he was saying. It made no sense since he already had legs. She was amazed at how much of the potion he must have stashed away.
“Do you want to have four legs or something?”
Iko stared at his lower body, feeling like she was about to cry, and almost screamed in surprise. It was dark, so she hadn’t noticed at first, but he wasn’t wearing anything below, and his large, prominent member was standing upright between his legs.
If anyone asked if it hadn’t always been there, she’d want to shout that it had never stood so rigidly pointed at her before.
“Any creature with four legs is a monster. If such a monster went to the village, the humans would be so shocked they’d run away—ah!”
Iko gasped, unable to finish her sentence, as she felt Kashmir’s hand grasp her leg.
Kashmir lazily stroked Iko’s leg. It had felt nice and soft the first time he touched it, but now it felt almost intoxicating.
“Witch, it seems you don’t quite understand what I mean.”
As Kashmir lifted her leg, Iko toppled backward. Her calf touched his firm chest, causing her nightgown to slip down, revealing her thighs and underwear. Flustered, Iko hurriedly pulled her clothes back up.
“What I want isn’t my legs. I want yours.”
Kashmir licked her leg with a grin. Iko’s mind went blank, and she couldn’t say a word. She held onto the hem of her dress and bit her lip, trying to hold back her breath.
“Now that I’ve learned about human reproduction, should I tell you about merfolk reproduction?”
“All of a sudden?”
“Actually, you know, merfolk don’t have reproductive organs.”
The irony of hearing that while feeling the weighty presence between his legs struck Iko. Of course, that was a human reproductive organ created by the potion, not a merfolk’s.
“Even without them, we can still reproduce. Do you know how?”
“I don’t.”
Iko answered in a trembling voice, and Kashmir moved closer to her. She could feel the weight and bulk of his member pressing against her thigh through the thin fabric of her nightgown.
“When a merfolk finds a mate they want to reproduce with, they can transform into the mate’s species.”
Kashmir lifted Iko’s hips slightly onto his thighs, placing her hand on his thigh.
“So, these legs here… they weren’t created by your potion.”
Even though her hand rested on his firm thigh, Iko felt like she was still dreaming. Everything felt surreal, like she was in a haze.
To bring her back to reality, Kashmir gently tapped her hips. Iko blinked and tried to make sense of the situation in front of her.
“So, you’re saying you never needed the potion in the first place.”
“If I had intended to mate with a human, yes.”
But Kashmir had never had that intention. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t transform without the desire to mate.
After hearing Kashmir’s explanation, Iko thought about it and still found it odd, shaking her head.
“Then what about the mermaid princess in the legend? She loved a human. She could have transformed.”
“Love isn’t the same as wanting to mate.”
Kashmir shrugged, as if wondering why she didn’t understand right away.
The mermaid princess had admired and loved a human, but she was too young and innocent. She believed that simply holding hands or tails would result in offspring. She couldn’t even imagine how merfolk reproduced.
“After that incident, we all received thorough s-x education by the age of thirteen.”
“…So, these really are legs created without a potion?”
Still unable to fully believe it, Iko touched his thigh again. It was hot and firm.
“That’s right. And by the way, the reason I haven’t been asking for more potions lately is because of this.”
“So, when you said you had plenty of potions left, that was…?”
“A blatant lie.”
When he admitted there wasn’t any left, Iko’s jaw dropped. The person who always accused her of being a liar had completely deceived her. She stared at him in silent reproach, and Kashmir gave her an awkward smile.
“Maybe I’ve picked up the habit from you, always lying. But that’s not the important part.”
The important thing wasn’t the small lies but something he had been desperately wanting for the past few days. Kashmir spread Iko’s legs apart.
“Let’s mate.”
“R-Right now?”
Iko’s voice trembled, and as Kashmir stroked her tense legs, he grabbed her ankle and placed it on his shoulder.
Instead of answering, he kissed her leg, his eyes filled with longing.
“Don’t you want to as well?”
“This is too sudden… You need to give me time to prepare.”
“Then prepare now. I’ll wait. How much time do you need?”
“A day.”
Hoping to delay him until the next morning so he wouldn’t leave, Iko answered like this.
But the smile faded from Kashmir’s face for a moment. He ran his hand through his hair, sighed, and then gave a small smile.
“Alright, let’s do this. I’ll go ahead, and you can take your time preparing.”
‘What kind of preparation is that? You just want to do it right away.’
Iko felt both confused and shocked. But Kashmir firmly shook his head, saying he couldn’t wait that long.
“Iko, I’ve been holding back this whole time.”
