11 - Chapter 9: Half-Blood Mermaids
The moment we got home, Jeong Hae-in was the first to strip down to her underwear and dive straight into the pool.
"Me too... oh."
Jeong Hae-yeon started to follow her sister's lead and strip, but stopped herself when she remembered I was standing right there.
Jeong Hae-seo, who hadn't been swept up in Hae-in's antics to begin with, simply sat on the edge and dipped her feet in, lightly splashing the water.
The pool was so deep that Hae-in stayed submerged for quite a while. Of course, as a half-mermaid with a mana-enhanced lung capacity, there was no way she'd drown.
A moment later, Hae-in bobbed back up to the surface.
"Pah! Ah, now I feel alive."
Resting her elbows on the edge of the pool, she suggested,
"First things first. If we're going to coordinate our teamwork, we need to know what everyone can do. Let's start by sharing our abilities."
It was a perfectly reasonable suggestion, so none of us—myself included—objected.
As everyone nodded in agreement, Hae-in turned her gaze toward me.
"Alright, Su-hyeon, you go first."
"My mana is D-rank. I'm not a mage, and I mainly use an assault rifle and a compact automatic pistol."
"Hmm, I see."
Hae-in gave a half-hearted nod at my explanation.
"Then I'll introduce us. All three of us have A-rank mana. And we're mages."
I already knew that.
Magic was a supernatural power that only a select few humans were born with, fueled by mana.
Though it depended on the specific spells they possessed, mages generally had no trouble finding work anywhere.
Even so, despite having such high mana ranks, they had chosen to become hunters. Rumors of their eccentricity had spread far and wide because of it.
The reason wasn't hard to guess.
In this world, sleeping with a monster was viewed as nothing less than bestiality, and the public perceived the triplets as grotesque hybrids born from such an act.
Their stunning looks might have softened that disgust to some degree, but they still must have grown up ostracized, consciously or unconsciously, because of the lingering stigma of their birth.
That was likely why they wanted to be hunters. It allowed them to minimize their interactions with society, form a tight-knit three-person team, and work as freelancers.
On top of that, they probably hoped that working as hunters—a dangerous, avoided, yet indispensable profession—would salvage their public image, even if only a little.
While I was lost in thought, Hae-in kept chattering away.
"As for my spells..."
Right then,
Jeong Hae-yeon, who was standing right behind me, suddenly gave me a hard shove.
"Huh?"
Caught completely off guard by an A-rank mana user, a mere D-rank like me stood no chance of keeping my balance. I stumbled backward.
The pool was right behind me. I tumbled backward and splashed miserably into the water.
Ugh...!
The pool was even deeper than it looked from the surface, just like the cave lake. But this time, my arms weren't tied, so I didn't need to panic.
As long as my arms and legs are free, swimming should be a breeze...
However, it didn't take long for me to realize how badly I'd miscalculated.
What the fuck?
A violent current surged around me. A whirlpool—something that should have been impossible in a standard swimming pool—wrapped around my body, completely throwing off my balance.
I was tossed around by the raging current, my head spinning as my body rotated out of control. With no ground beneath my feet, the sheer disorientation made me feel like I was free-falling through the air.
[Ahaha...!]
Through the muffled water, the faint sound of the mermaids' laughter drifted into my ears.
[Kyahaha...!]
Was it because of their monster blood?
The half-mermaids effortlessly sliced through the turbulent currents and closed in on me.
[Hehehe...!]
Bluish-gray hands grabbed hold of me. I expected them to be cold, but they were surprisingly hot. Did their body temperature spike when they entered the water?
Six burning hands tangled around me like seaweed, stripping away my clothes piece by piece. Within moments, I was completely naked.
Oh, no...
Reflexively, I reached down to cover my crotch, but my hands were instantly seized and pinned above my head.
I flailed helplessly in the deep water, my cock fully exposed. Then, Hae-in appeared right in front of me, her eyes glowing a sharp yellow.
Seeing her like this, it truly hit home that she carried the blood of a shark.
Faced with an overwhelming pressure I had never felt from her on land, an involuntary shudder ran through me.
[Oh my, sis. I think he's scared.]
Thanks to their racial traits, the half-mermaids could communicate perfectly underwater.
[Really?]
Unlike the expressionless Hae-seo, Hae-in grinned at Hae-yeon's words, revealing rows of jagged, razor-sharp teeth.
She thrust her face right up to mine. When those glistening, vertical pupils locked onto me from inches away, I felt a genuine spike of fear.
[Mmm...]
Hae-in examined me closely, reaching down to grab my cock as it swayed loosely in the water.
She wrapped one hand gently around the shaft, while the tip of her index finger slowly traced the sensitive skin.
Stimulated by her hot body temperature against the cold pool water, my cock rapidly hardened.
[Does that feel good? Hmm? Your cock is twitching like crazy, leaking pre-cum all over the place.]
Whispering those teasing words, Hae-in continued to stroke me.
[Come on, stroke, stroke. Hurry up and cum. Shoot a nice, big load for us so we can all feel refreshed.]
Spurred on by her mocking words, I ejaculated right there in the water.
The white semen bloomed and dispersed in the water, looking like paint dropped into a bucket.
Seeing this, Hae-in burst into laughter.
[Ahaha! You really came? You actually shot your load just from being forced like this? You love this, don't you? Hmm? Admit it.]
My body shuddered from the aftershocks of the orgasm. But the bigger problem was that my lungs were rapidly reaching their limit.
Just as panic began to set in that I might actually drown, Hae-seo, her face still completely blank, clung to me.
Floating upside down above me, she grabbed my face, held it firmly in place, and forced her lips onto mine, breathing air directly into my mouth.
Our tongues tangled, and I could feel a strange, slight suction from her half-mermaid tongue.
Even though I had just ejaculated, my cock remained rock-hard for a variety of reasons.
This time, Hae-in grabbed my shaft and guided it straight into her pussy.
Hngh...!
Instead of normal ridges, the half-mermaid's vaginal walls were densely packed with tiny, villi-like tentacles. The sea-anemone-like walls brushed against my cock, intensely stimulating it the moment I was swallowed inside.
Compared to an orc's, she definitely lacked raw tightness.
But where the orc's pussy had simply crushed me with sheer, overwhelming pressure, the mermaid's was far gentler.
Rather than just squeezing, the way she skillfully worked my shaft felt like a high-class whore using the ultimate mouth technique.
Yet, a pussy was still a pussy. As an organ designed purely for male pleasure, the sensation was far superior to any throat. It was as if the best qualities of a mouth and a vagina had been fused into one.
Ugh... hngh... ah...
With both of my arms pinned down on their home turf,
Inhaling the warm, humid air passed directly from someone else's lungs,
And being violated from both ends simultaneously...
It was an experience I knew I would never forget for the rest of my life.
The moment I ejaculated into Hae-in's half-mermaid womb, the triplets systematically swapped roles.
During the transition, my tongue clung to the suction of hers, stretching out before finally tearing free.
Watching their perfectly coordinated rotation, I felt like a hamster trapped on a wheel.
With my wrists pinned and our tongues constantly entangling, I was milked repeatedly by pussies that squirmed and wriggled like sea anemones.
After passing me around and using me to their hearts' content, the half-mermaid triplets finally backed away.
The current, which had calmed down without my noticing, laid me flat and allowed me to slowly drift up to the surface.
The sensation of gently floating was strangely pleasant, feeling exactly like lying on a waterbed.
But comfort aside, my entire body began to shiver violently, likely because I'd been submerged in the cold water for so long.
Just when I thought I'd escaped drowning, was I going to freeze to death instead?
"Oh, I think he's cold."
Fortunately, the half-mermaids who surfaced alongside me noticed my condition.
"Really? Well, they say pure-blooded humans get hypothermia if they stay in cold water for too long."
"Oh, really? Then what do we do?"
"What do you mean, 'what do we do'? We have to warm him up."
Seeing my pale face, the half-mermaids quickly reached a consensus.
Hae-in, the eldest, swam over and lay directly on top of me, burying my face in her voluptuous breasts.
The other two clung to my sides, leaving me completely enveloped in a three-way embrace.
My body gradually warmed from their soft skin and cozy body heat.
Breathing in the sweet, feminine scent unique to them, the tension drained from my body, and I surrendered myself to their warmth.
The water was still cold, but now, the contrast actually felt amazing.
It was like the ultimate summer luxury—cranking the air conditioning to the max and burying yourself under a thick duvet.
That was exactly how this felt.
Even if the gentle confinement of not being able to move a single muscle was slightly concerning.
As I finally regained my composure, Hae-in gently stroked the back of my head and whispered,
"You're sleeping over tonight."
It was phrased as an invitation, but in reality, it was a command.
