Exchanging flesh

If I had to say how I felt…I couldn't say that I felt confident.

After all, this was the one thing that I had been worried about when I made the decision to come here.

I did know that the way to establish this contract was to exchange flesh with the mermaid, but I didn't know the exact details of that. That was because this was a scene that was skipped over in the game.

It would result in a scene change with a HP drop that wasn't too bad, but it never showed specifically how that flesh was exchanged.

Was it cutting off a finger, a piece of one's flesh, or was it something completely different?

I thought that I had made up my mind already when I made the decision to come looking for the mermaid, but now that it was right in front of me…I had to admit that I couldn't help hesitating.

I don't think that there would be anyone in this world who wouldn't hesitate in a situation like this.

After all, it was scary.
