Che, who realized that it wasn't a dream, didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

He looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but look around.

At first, his eyes were full of light, but gradually, the light inside dimmed.

He has been out for so long, and none of his brothers and sisters have come to him.

They all think he's done something wrong, but he can't make a life disappear in front of his eyes.

Thinking of the accusation made by one person and one sentence before, Che felt even more uncomfortable.

Are they disappointed in him now, and will they not like him in the future?

He clenched the bottle in his hand, and finally made a decision-

Since his voice has been taken away and his brothers and sisters don't like him anymore, he can't lose his voice in vain.

He's going to become a human, he's going to go ashore and find that human!

Che flicked his tail and began to swim quickly towards the shore.

At first, his mood was a little depressed and uncomfortable, but as he got closer and closer to the shore, his sad emotions gradually replaced by excitement and anticipation.

What Che didn't know was that at this time, his brothers and sisters couldn't find him, and they were all going crazy.

"Did you find it?"

"No! I've searched a few places he frequents, but I can't find him! ”

"It shouldn't be, in the past, when he was unhappy, he would only run to these places, but it didn't make sense that he would disappear this time. He must have encountered some danger, right? ”

"Let's look further afield!"

"Che's ability to hide is really good."

"If we had known this, we shouldn't have said him before. He wants to save people and save him, anyway, not every time someone falls into the sea, he will be found. Moreover, he saved people this time because he liked that human, but humans don't live in the sea, and they can't see each other a few times. After a long time, it will always fade away. ”

"Alas, don't say it, let's keep looking!"

……

The moonlight is clear, and the deep sea waves are constantly overlapping.

The sea breeze at night is stronger than during the day, blowing the waves farther away.

Che behind the big reef has been here since sunset, but there were still people on the beach at that time, so he hid behind the reef and waited silently.

He had been clutching the potion tightly in his hand.

From sunset to dark, waiting for the crowd to frolic and leave, still hiding behind the reef and not daring to come out.

It wasn't until the dead of night, when everyone had already slept, that he swam from behind the reef toward the shore.

He took advantage of a big wave and stranded himself on the beach.

His upper body was human, and his long hair was wet and scattered over his shoulders. The lower part was a large, beautiful fishtail, covered with golden scales.

He had always been proud to have such a beautiful tail, but now he ......

Che gritted his teeth, opened the lid of the vial, and then poured the potion inside on his tail with great firmness.

"Wow-sss

This is the sound that the potion makes when it hits its tail.

The overwhelming pain struck Che and made it impossible for Che to resist.

His hand loosened, and the empty medicine bottle in his hand fell on the sand. His fingertips were tightly pressed into the sand, and he tried his best to endure it, but his whole face was still pale, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

It hurts so much to have human legs!

He wanted to shout, he wanted to scream...... But he couldn't speak.

Che silently asked himself in his heart: Do you regret it? Think

It hurts so much.

He should regret it!

But the strange thing was that as soon as he thought that as long as he survived, he would be able to see the human before and stand in front of her openly, and he suddenly felt that this kind of pain was actually not so difficult.

At that time, he rescued people, sent people ashore, and wanted to stay with her and wait for her to wake up.

Then tell her that he saved her.

I also want to tell her that she is the best-looking human he has ever seen, and he likes her very much......

He had a lot of ideas, and the most important thing was to talk to the human.

But reason told him that he could not be seen by humans.

Humans can't be allowed to discover that there are merfolk in this world, which will bring disaster to his people.

What he couldn't do then, now he just has to wait for his legs to grow!

Thinking of this, there was a smile on his pale face, and his eyes were full of anticipation and determination.

Later, he lost consciousness in pain.

When he woke up again, he saw that the place where he had a fishtail had been replaced by a pair of beautiful feet.

Che was stunned for a moment, and was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

But soon, when he knew what he was conscious of, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Does he have feet?

He's just like those humans!

He propped his hands on the sand and tried to slowly prop himself up, but as soon as his feet were forced, a piercing pain came from his legs. I had just lifted up part of my body, and suddenly I fell again.

Fortunately, he landed on the soft sand, which did not hurt.

The look on Ke Che's face immediately became stunned, he reached out and touched his feet, not used to the fact that there were no uneven scales in the places he touched with his hands, and even more so that the places he touched were so smooth.

The words that the old woman said in the dream appeared in his mind very clearly at this moment-

"You go to land and drop potions on the tail of a fish, and you give birth to human legs. In the future, your legs will replace the fishtail, and you will look exactly like a human. But once the legs are born, every step you take with your legs in the future will feel like walking on a sharp knife, and the pain will be unbearable. ”

Every step is like walking on a sharp knife...... No wonder it hurt so much just now.

But once his legs grow, he has no room for regret.

Since he has chosen this path, he can only go on firmly!

Che endured the pain and slowly stood up, he wanted to walk on his feet like a human, but he really wasn't used to it at all.

Before, he only had one fishtail, and all he had to do was control the fishtail. But now that he has two legs, his first instinct is to think that they are the same and let them move forward at the same time.

But he couldn't.

He tried to control his feet, but they stayed in place.

Che's eyes showed a confused look.

Why do humans grow legs that are so difficult to manipulate?

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to wait, he wanted to learn to walk.

He struggled to remember how the humans he had seen before walked.

It seems that the two feet are not together, but walk alternately one after the other......

Che tried to learn and imitate.

The pain continued, and he fell and got back to his feet, stubbornly trying to learn to walk.

As the night passed, the sun slowly rose from the other side of the sea.

The golden sunlight shines on the earth......
