The next guild mission led us toward the coast. The request had been filed not by nobles, knights, or even adventurers, but by a monster girl herself — a squid girl.
When we arrived, she was waiting at the shore. She was small, cute, and surprisingly timid for one who had put out such a large request. Her long tentacles shifted nervously in the sand as she bowed her head.
"Humans poisoned the water," she explained, her soft voice tinged with worry. "My people are weak, sick. Please… I beg you, help us restore the sea."
Her crimson eyes glistened with hope as she looked at me.
The request was straightforward. We weren't facing dragons or demons this time — just undoing the harm humans had caused to the ocean.
Katie's healing magic shone brilliantly. Her vines glowed as they spread into the water, touching the broken, poisoned merpeople. Their sores closed, their coughing stilled, their bodies returning to health.
Meanwhile, Herta slipped into the tide, her body spreading through the current like a great blue veil. She giggled happily as the ocean rippled, sweeping away the filth and waste, piling it onto the shore in ugly heaps.
Drum soared overhead, scattering away approaching ships. Yelena prowled the shoreline, growling at any fishermen who dared to look our way.
In less than a day, the sea was restored.
The merpeople wept with gratitude, bowing again and again. And the squid girl, her voice trembling with relief, stepped closer.
"You are kind… stronger than any human I've met. Please—let me follow you. Let me serve you."
At this point, I should have been surprised. But after Yelena, Katie, Drum, and Herta… I barely blinked.
I nodded. "If that's what you want, then join us."
The taming bond pulsed.
Her small body glowed, her tentacles trembling as the light consumed her. She grew taller, her curves swelling, her chest heavy and full, her beauty sharpening into something dangerous.
No longer a timid squid girl.
She had become a kraken.
The water seemed to bend to her as she rose, her long tentacles writhing, slick and gleaming. Her hair spilled like silk, her body encased in ribbons of black and violet, her every movement dripping with allure.
Before I could move, those tentacles slithered out, coiling around me with ease.
"Ah—!" I gasped, my arms pinned to my sides as the slick limbs wrapped tighter, squeezing just enough to make my breath catch.
A soft, sultry laugh brushed my ear. Her chest pressed firmly against my back, heavy and warm, her breath teasing my skin.
"Mmm… such a strong Master," she whispered, her voice husky and playful. "But even strength won't save you from me now."
Her tentacles slid lower, curling around my legs, my waist, even my chest. Each movement was deliberate, teasing, like a dozen hands exploring me at once.
"Give me a name," she purred, her lips grazing my ear. "Something only I'll carry. Whisper it, Master… I want to hear it from your mouth."
Flustered, my cheeks burned as I stammered out, "…Siza. Your name is Siza."
The sound alone made her shiver, her grip tightening as a low moan escaped her throat. Her tentacles squeezed me closer, pulling me against the softness of her breasts as she laughed softly.
"Siza… yes. Perfect. Every time you say it, I'll remember this moment. And every time I wrap around you, I'll remind you… you're mine."
On the shore, the others were seething.
Yelena's claws sparked as she growled, her tail whipping furiously.
Katie's vines twitched in warning, though her smile was still soft and patient.
Drum ruffled her feathers, glaring daggers at the kraken.
Even Herta puffed out her cheeks, her liquid body quivering with irritation.
But Siza only smirked, pulling me tighter into her embrace, her tentacles stroking possessively across my chest and thighs.
"Too late, girls," she purred, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "He's already tangled up in me. And I don't let go of what's mine."
Her voice was sultry, her grip unyielding, her devotion immediate.
And as her tentacles caressed me like a net of silk and muscle, I realized — I had gained another yandere.
One who could smother me with eight arms at once.
