How to become a mermaid

Chapter 5 Alicia
Mermaids are a "matriarchal" species.

This matriarchal society needs quotation marks because merfolk don't form families.

Aur star has two moons, the first month and the last month. The first month hangs high in the night sky every day, and the last month only appears in the last two months of the year.

When the moon rises at the end of each year, the mermaids will rush to a place called [Island of Origin], which is said to be the birthplace of the mermaids, and now it has become a paradise for them to mate and multiply.

Here, the mermaids choose their favorite partners, and after a short mating, they will leave in pairs.

Male merfolk go to the dwelling of the female merfolk to prepare for the birth of their babies.

Like humans, merfolk are viviparous and only give birth to one or two babies at a time.

Since female mermaids become weak during pregnancy and after giving birth, they are cared for by males during this period.

From the beginning of conception to the end of the recovery period, the whole process takes about ten years.

After the female spends a long recovery period, the male mermaid will not stay to accompany the child to grow up, but will leave on his own, return to the sea to continue surfing the waves, and let the female mermaid raise the child until adulthood.

This behavior is somewhat similar to some animals in the animal world that Shaman Lear saw before.

Mermaids are essentially solitary species and do not like to share their living space with other merfolk. Except for the initial stage of raising children, it is almost impossible for two mermaids to appear together.

Because mermaids basically grow up with their mothers, it can be said to be a "matriarchal society". After all... there is no guy who dares not to listen to his mother, right?
Will be hit by mother's love!
however--

Shamanleir really dares!And dare!

He is super brave, and always violates his mermaid mother's order to contact human beings again and again, and he goes there for a day, just like being crazy on the verge of being beaten.

After sprinting in the sea for several hours, Samantel came to a coral group.

Shamanleir's residence is in the deep sea thousands of meters deep. Since there are no islands and settled humans around, the corals here grow extremely complicated and gorgeous.

Red, white, green, yellow, corals of various colors are intertwined with each other, like a jungle in the sea, and magnificent coral fish swim in groups among the corals. They all hid in the coral.

And Shamanleir's current actions are no better than these little fishes. He sneakily pokes his head out of a tall staghorn coral bush, looking for traces of his mother.

I always feel that the quietness here is scary today, and Shamanlael has a bad premonition in his heart.

"Oh~ look! Who is back! Isn't this my dear good son Samantel, he is still alive? He hasn't been kidnapped by the sirens to make rbq? Hasn't he been caught by humans and sold on the black market? Didn’t you encounter a submarine vortex and be smashed into fish pieces? Did you not encounter a submarine volcanic eruption and be burned into grilled fish?”

"My God, my God, what luck!"

A strange voice sounded from the top of Samantel's head.

Hearing this sound, Shamanlaer's whole body trembled, and even the scales of his tail were about to stand on end.

Not good, big things are not good!
Shamanlael raised his head stiffly, and saw a beautiful figure appearing above his head.

She has black curly hair that reaches to her waist and is swaying with the waves like seaweed.

The light blue fish tail, which is about three meters long, is swaying in the sea water, each scale is shining, and each arc is so graceful that it seems to be dancing.

Human beings' description of the sea goddess is nothing more than this.

This is Alicia, the mother of Shaman Lair, a young fish who is only two hundred years old.

On Alicia's glamorous face that is very similar to Shaman Lair, a pair of bright sea-blue eyes shone with a cold star-like light. She stared at Shaman Lair without blinking, almost wanting to He saw a hole.

With just one eye, the goddess turned into a female ghost, and it was the kind that could kill her.

"Sha~man~lai~" Alicia called out Shamanlai's name word by word.

Afraid.jpg.

Seeing the sudden appearance of this mother, Shamanlaer froze even her tail.

He squeezed out a smile on his face, held up the horn of the white rhino shark in his hand, and said in a flattering tone: "Hey~ Alicia! Look what I brought back for you!"

"Crack!" A bright blue flashed.

The shark horn in Shamanleir's hand was pulled out by Alicia's tail.

"Papa, papa, papa!" The bright blue tail lashed out quickly, throwing it all over Shamanlell's face one after another.

"Tell you not to run around and run around, tell you to go home early if you don't go home, tell you to stay away from human beings and get closer, tell you to obey and you don't obey!"

"How can I, Alicia, have a son like you! Clap, clap, clap!" Alicia continued to slap Shamanlell's cheek with her tail fin while cursing.

Angry, Alicia was so angry, she was so angry that she wished to break off the tail fin of this naughty son, to see if he dared to run around!

"Do you know how worried I am about you, why I'm running around, why don't you listen to my mother! Papa, papa, papa!" The sound of violent pumping was endless.

Facing the furious mother, Shamanlael didn't dare to fight back, and he couldn't fight back either.

After about 10 minutes.

After some venting, Alicia's anger calmed down a little bit, but only a little bit, she was still in a state of rage, and she might use her tail to whip Shamanlell again at any time.

Shamanlael's delicate cheeks were reddened visible to the naked eye, fully swollen.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong..." Shamanlell lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.

Alicia felt soft-hearted for a moment when she saw Shamanleir honestly bowing her head and admitting her mistake, but when she thought of the free and undisciplined style of this little bastard, her heart became as hard as iron again.

"Are you wrong? Tell me what you did wrong?" Alicia asked.

"I shouldn't be running around, I shouldn't be leaving home and worrying my mother," Shamanlaer said.

"What else?" Alicia felt that Shaman Lear had missed a crucial point.

"I shouldn't touch human beings..." Shaman Lear said in a low tone.

"Heh, since you know why you keep making mistakes again and again?"

"I told you early on that human beings are dangerous, more dangerous than you imagined, they will arrest you, pull out your hair, scales, nails, teeth, draw your blood, and cut off your skin every day , They will even dig out your excrement to make those damn potions!" Alicia reprimanded angrily.

"Alicia, pay attention to your image a little bit..." Shamanleer reminded.

"Huh?" Alicia's eyes became unfriendly when she heard Shamanleir's reminder, her long seaweed-like hair fluttered, and even the surrounding sea water was churning with her emotions.

She was also a gentle and kind mermaid in the past, but she has become increasingly irritable after having the rebellious son Shaman Lele.

Feeling Alicia's anger, Samantel hurriedly promised: "Don't be angry with Alicia, I will never contact humans again, I swear that I will obey you honestly in the future!"

Alicia suddenly smiled when she heard Shamanlaer's assurance.

She swam up to Shamanlael, held his cheeks with both hands, stroked his face tenderly, and said softly:
"My dear son, if you run around again, I will break your fins and tie you up with moray eels so that you cannot move, and I will only feed you one meal a day until your stomach growls with hunger Call, are you okay?"

not good!Absolutely not good!
　If a mermaid becomes an adult at the age of 100, the age of 30 is equivalent to 6 or 7 years of human age, and our protagonist is just a big kid in his 30s!
