Chapter 12
The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 12
“A storm! “
“A storm ising! “
The crew shouted from outside. The boat started shaking even more violently than before.
It seemed that Gary had exited the bathroom, so I quickly got dressed. I hid in my cabin and locked the
cabin door from the inside.
The storm came too suddenly, even professional sailors couldn’t predict its arrival.
With the chaotic winds outside, the rain droplets mmed onto the windows and its trails could be seen
against the clear ss.
Suddenly, I saw a dark silhouette speed past my window. Its speed was shocking, unlike the speed of a
normal human being. I thought it was just something being blown away by the wind.
All of a sudden, I saw a hand simr to a human’s stuck on the window, the spaces between its five
fingers were connected with skin.
That was a merperson’s webbed w!
But the moment I blinked, the hand disappeared as if I had hallucinated it. I attentively looked at the
window and traced the area where the hand was. But all that was left were the streaks of rain droplets.
Was I seeing things because I was too tired? I was definitely exhausted. I had been through so much in
just the past several hours, so much so that my head felt heavy.

If I were to get on deck in this situation, I would only add to the troubles of the crew. I may as well rest,
after all I would still need to face Gary after I woke up.
I tiredly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
After sleeping for what felt like an eternity, I felt a chilly gust of wind against my skin causing me to
wake up. Some time during my sleep, my window had opened and the sea breeze was blowing into my
cabin.
I sneezed due to the cold so I got off the bed to close the window. While doing so, I saw the clock on
the wall, and it was barely past six in the morning. I had only slept for half an hour?
How did the weather be like this? The cabin was lit with a red afterglow, and the storm outside
seemed to have calmed. It was also suspiciously quiet.
Suddenly, I felt like there was something behind me! In the dimness of the room, I faintly saw the
shadow of something that shouldn’t be in my room. I turned to look at it clearer and I was
dumbfounded.
Was I dreaming? What was a merman doing in my cabin?
I panicked. This wasn’t the tranquilized merman, it wasn’t the merman in the tank. It was a different
merman that somehow appeared in my room!
He could battle a shark, itsbative abilities were unparalleled.
When the merman realized that I saw him, a hoarse voice rose from his throat.
“Li-n-da.“
What? Did I hear him correctly? Was the merman saying my name? It wasn’t clear, but I could faintly
hear the sybles that made up my name.
As I stood there stunned, the merman stood in front of me, looking down at me from above.
With the courage, energy, and speed that came out of nowhere, I pushed the window open and
escaped the cabin.
“Help! Someone help me! “ I screamed.
I frantically tried to search for the crew but I couldn’t find anyone. Even Gary was missing. It seemed
like I was the only one aboard this boat.
Of course, there was also that weird merman!
“Li-n-da.“
The merman’s voice kept following me, now he was really shouting my name!
Oh my god! How did he know my name!
I wanted to head to the navigation room to survey the situation. There must be someone there! I
clumsily made my way up thedder to the navigation room. In my panicked frenzy, my foot slipped
and I fell backward. But just when I thought I was about to receive bone -shattering injuries, the pain
did note. I felt a gust of wind behind me. Something held onto my waist and I slowly started to
slide downward. After that, I copsed onto a wet and slippery, but strong fishtail.
