Mermaid Attack × Breeder Shou

One month after Boyce entered the Eureka Marine Research Center, the institute caught a blue male mermaid S-37.

A year later, Boyce became the breeder of this mermaid. After getting along for a while, Boyce found that the fierce and cruel mermaid in front of others was completely different when facing him…

————

Someone asked: “Do you believe that mermaids have the emotion of love?”

Boyce said, “I believe it.”

S-37 asked: “What is liking?”

“I like it…you have minions that are enough to tear me apart, but you can retract your claws when you touch them.”

“what is love?”

“I showed my neck in front of you…”

……

The young experimenter was dragged into the pool by the mermaid. The mermaid restrained its minions, carefully circled the human with its tail, and whispered “I love you too” in his ear.
