Only the silhouette of a graceful, naked young woman emerged from the sea.
Her upper body was no different from a human's, with a voluptuous and delicate female form extending down to the base of her thighs, but beyond that was a long cylindrical tail with black scales.
"Dragon Maiden! Dragon Maiden, I've brought the man, let me return to your side, let me return to you! I cannot endure a moment longer!"
Nakao was so excited he fell from the fishing chair, stumbling and crawling towards the sea witch.
His face was flushed, his speech mixed with heavy panting.
The murky seawater soaked through his clothes, its icy chill biting, but he didn't care, frenetically trying to get closer to his goddess.
He hadn't crawled far when someone pulled him back by his jacket.
The pull on his collar was overwhelming, impossible to resist. With a yank, "splash," Nakao's head plunged into the seawater, choking on two mouthfuls before struggling back up.
