【Aki】【my world divided in half】

“Dear, I still want to talk to you for a while, but I really have to go home!”
On my way home at sunset. I look at my watch, oh no, it's almost the time!
“Hey, isn't it the weekend tomorrow? Why you go home in a hurry. . . "Stopped me on my way home, and the classmate who asked me for a chatting compresses her mouth.
"Sorry, house rules!" I use my usual excuses to prevaricate, not looking at her face, pick up my schoolbag, turn around and start running home!

Huhuhu, so risky, but I made it!
By the moment I close the door, a slightly cooler air in the house hit my face, and I feel that I have shut out the warmth of the setting sun—the world with the warmth of the setting sun.
I feel a familiar throbbing pain in my legs.
It's coming, the other half of my world.
After staggering two steps, I sit down on the hallway. The leg hurts so much. . . It feels like something is drilling outside. I tear off the stockings and put them in the cabinet in the hallway together with my shoes. My smooth legs are exposed to the air.
Although I feel a little shy, the panty must also be taken off!
Tick to tick. . . my time has finally reached the end. I fall down to the ground, and the pain in my legs turn into sharp tingling, just like the feeling of barefoot stepping on a pebble in the swimming pool, magnifying infinitely on the middle of my legs. A burst of strong pressure merges the legs together and fills the gap between my legs. In the pain, I try to pull my legs left and right, but I can no longer feel my legs. The two legs became a whole.
The biggest pain is coming. My feet melt like candles and fall to the ground. Why it has to happen once a day? This is really painful though!
Fortunately, the whole process takes less than a minute. The porch sensor light, which was customized by my sister, is finally turned on, and the white and gentle light is sprinkling on me.
The pain disappeared, I sit up from the ground and lift the school uniform skirt.
Pink, thin and smooth scales have covered my lower half body. I try to move my "foot", but there is only a small sound of caudal fin hitting the floor.
I have transformed into a mermaid.
Aha, this is who I am now. 12 hours of human time, 12 hours of mermaid time, for my every day.

Three years ago, my world was divided into two parts.
By that time, I had just graduated from elementary school, and I was having fun and carefree summer vacation every day.
My parents have a seafood company. Although it is not large in scale, their hard work is enough to spoil my sister and me until we grow up.
It was just a common day. As usual, I went to the dock to watch the return of the fishman who went fishing on the sea, and transported the full fish harvesting to different vehicles. My sister Summer used to work here with those fishman, but they thought I was too young to work.
So, I could only run around the dock and play with myself.
However, I heard it. "Aki... Aki..." Someone was calling my name from far away.
I couldn't resist the magic of this call, and then went to the way to a remote sea rock area. The rocks here are etched by sea water all year round. Although it is magnificent, it is not a surprising view for people who living in the coastal town. It was dusk, and the few tourists also left.
I had found the source of the call, under a cave buried in rock. Then after that, I lost my mind.
It was late at night when my sister found me. I fell on the beach, the waves rubbing against my soaked clothes. In my arms, I held a stone statue tightly.
I woke up in the hospital and was soon discharged home. After the parents wiped the stone statue clean, they found that it was a lightweight mermaid statue. The outline of the statue is clear and lifelike, but the craftsmanship cannot tell the age of the statue.
For this stone statue, my sister is fine with it. My parents even did some research and left them in the office for a while, and they were also fine.
However, I fell ill because of this.
My summer vacation ended there, and I started to have a fever while lying in the bed with a confusing mind.
I don't know when the high fever faded, and when I pulled back the quilt, I found that my legs were missing from the lower part of body and turned into pink fish tails.
Mom and Dad didn't blame me. On the contrary, they quickly accepted the reality, and their attitude towards me remains unchanged. They told me that, the sea area near the city actually contains "mysteries" that have not yet been discovered.
My sister was the first person who discovered that I became a mermaid. This kind of fish tail makes it difficult for me to move at the moment, and I basically rely on the comprehensive care of my parents and sister in the beginning.
However, my sister’s thinking is more considerable and long-term, and it is estimated that she started thinking about the essence of the trouble and the solution as soon as she discovered the problem. She was a genius who went to college at the age of 16 and had an independent studio at the age of 18. She discovered the secret of the 12-hour transformation and trained me to control the time of the fishtail exposure. She was also experimenting with me to see how much water flow could make me transfer legs to a fish tail, so that I was careful not to walk through some places that would make me unable to move.
And that day, she asked me whether I wanted to move out to live alone and no longer rely on my parents' care. I originally thought she would arrange for me to rent a house, but I did not expect that the one she greeted me was a quiet, small two-story cottage. . .
Although living with a fishtail is always inconvenient, in such a family, I never find myself with any misfortune.

Hey. . . my thought is flying in the sky, but, as usual, let's take a bath and relax.
Of course, this fishtail cannot walk. In fact, it is basically impossible to even stand up. QVQ. So although I am embarrassed, I can only climb on the ground for moving. I support my body with my arms, and moving to the bathroom slowly with the flapping of the fish tail.
Once I have imaged to move on a skateboard and even dance like a mermaid on a movie, which was made by comedy master. But the last time I stood up, the whole fish's tail was trembling, because there were no supporting bones inside like human legs, and the deep sense of weakness immediately transformed into a (fish) muscle soreness. Let alone walking, this fish's tail is inseparable, how to walk like legs?
Finally, I arrived to the bathroom. . . which is also customized by my sister Summer. The low bathtub and the automatic bathroom system have already filled in with warm water. If the height is as an ordinary bathtub, I can't get in when I become a mermaid, but I can get in this one just with a turn over. . . Wait a minute, why did that bottle of shower gel pour? I can't do cleaning now, hey, I really want to hire a nanny!
However, it cannot be ignored. I touch with my fish's tail, and think about it. Later on, I turn over into the bathtub and began to slap the water happily with my tail fin. . . A large amount of water is thrown out of the bathtub by me. After slapping it for a while, I turn my head and look at it. Sure enough, the leaked shower gel has been cleaned up.
Ok, let’s do a relax shower . . . The water level overflow is detected, and the automatic bathroom system starts to automatically replenish water. . . After all, I can't reach the sprinkler with a fish tail, so my sister is really thoughtful. . .
In fact, when I became a mermaid for the first time, I didn't feel very discomfort, but quickly accepted it. Although I don't know why, it seems that this fish tail is a part of me. On that summer vacation, I just found it back.
Up to now, due to the 12-hour state switching every day, I seem to subconsciously believe that in this world, I am a little mermaid with a pink fish tail. . .
So, when I came into the water, I feel really comfortable. Unconsciously, I have sunk to the bottom of the bathtub. . . But don't worry, I can breathe underwater in this state. Warm water flows in and out of my body like wind to provide me with oxygen. Cool!
My future is still uncertain. I don’t know the color of the world when I was at school, on the streets, and when my friends talk.
I lift my fishtail and watching the pink shadow swaying away on the water. I think, at least this half of the world, is the color of pink.
