Ancient Outer God Styx Jellyfish x dark-skinned, soft-waisted dad-type man
(The female eldritch being can mimic forms, but only to a limited extent)
1-
In the strange depths of an underground sea, something slid through the slime.
Ancient, skin-crawling patterns were carved into enormous trenches.
She awoke in dark, damp black water.
Suddenly, she caught the scent of death.
Blood//limbs//vertebrate?
[No, no, no.]
[It doesn't smell fishy. It's fragrant, a very unique pheromone.]
The banded tentacles drifted a little faster.
Dark red arms curled around the little thing that had fallen into the deep sea.
A handsome face, a frail body, devoid of life.
"That day, the ancient Outer God, the Styx Jellyfish, found a dead man."

Qi Lan lived in an era 8,000 years in the future. Earth was still called Earth, divided by new technology into three classes: A, B, and C. Technology had advanced, but otherwise, the world had not changed much.
He was a low-spec C-class, focused on the study of the unknown and affiliated with the Goe organization.
The Cthulhu Mythos was a field that even Qi Lan and the world wanted to study, but those beings were mysterious and ancient. From beginning to end, they remained beyond sight.
Recently, heavy rains had become frequent, and the scanner showed abnormal wavebands in a restricted area. While investigating, Qi Lan ran low on oxygen. He had planned to head to an underwater base to replace his tank, but an octopus attack delayed him, and a powerful current swept him into the deep sea.
Just as his consciousness was about to fade...
Why had he suddenly spotted...
A very long, dark red "mermaid"?

The first time Dai Si saw Qi Lan,
her disguise nearly fell apart, and she almost gave herself away.
The countless tentacles inside her wanted to wrap around his slender waist, massive chest, dark skin, and curly hair...
From that moment on, her craving reached its peak. He looked so tempting to suck on.
Qi Lan had a somewhat youthful appearance, so she wasn't sure if he could reproduce.
She held back her impulse to give in to his looks and coolly flipped through a book, but some animal caretaker kept using human delicacies to tempt her!
Dai Si pretended to stay calm and pointed at the special area that was rising and falling on the scanner. "There's movement over there again. Go take a look."
Qi Lan was like an obedient dog: 0-0
He turned around, swaying his round, pert bottom, and left.
Dai Si wiped away her drool, then wiped it away again. She looked away, only for her gaze to land on the table full of delicious food.
She opened her enormous maw.
"Burp~"

Ever since Qi Lan's investigation failed, he had been demoted to slave and made Dai Si's personal cook. His colleagues always looked at him with envy.
But what was there to be happy about?
His boss was taciturn and didn't like to talk. Though she was a peerless beauty, her presence was imposing and she was hard to approach. She was always stern, with a serious expression.
One day, his hands shook while he was cooking, and he nearly set the greaseproof paper on fire. In a panic, he put it out with water. It took a long time to clean up. Qi Lan's chest was soaked, and there was sticky egg on the floor by his feet.
He thought to himself: I'm doomed! Dai Si is a neat freak!
Qi Lan slowly turned around and, sure enough, found her lips pressed together as she stared straight at him…
Next time, he had to be on his toes, get promoted and earn a raise, and return to C-class. He'd never do work serving someone again.
Until Qi Lan accidentally caught Dai Si diving into the sea in the early hours of the morning.
A black-and-red umbrella-shaped bell, trailing tentacles, glowing faintly.
His eyes filled with tears, and his own reddened with excitement.
He covered his mouth with both hands, afraid of frightening the beautiful god.
He never imagined that the "little mermaid" he'd been searching for all this time was right in front of him!
And so, Qi Lan went full dad-mode, feeding Dai Si different dishes every day with endless enthusiasm.
"Ah, it's so wonderful to fool around with my beautiful boss."

He let out a shameless, sly laugh.

A rift tore open in the underground sea, shattering the balance.
Strange creatures quickly took over Earth.
Dai Si was a rare treasure. Whenever she led the team into battle, her livestream was packed with viewers. She not only received an offer from the supreme commander, but also drew the covetous attention of even more humans with ulterior motives.
Qi Lan, who had been pretending to be a loyal puppy and acting weak at every turn, could no longer sit still.
He took off his flimsy, delicate maid's dress and cinched a binder tight around his chest. His military uniform showed off his figure even better.
The 190-centimeter-tall, dark-skinned, curly-haired puppy reached out and tugged on the Styx Jellyfish's enormous arm. Their sizes were impossibly different, and their contrasting skin tones met, light against dark.
Qi Lan stood beside Dai Si, a cannon slung over his shoulder, looking imposing.
The next second,
he secretly edged closer. "I'm useful too. I don't want to stay home alone."
Then he lowered his head in a plea, his nose turning red.
[Master, please.]
A guide to this unhinged story:
1. Nonhuman romance, female eldritch being, alternate-universe fiction, sweet romance with a Cthulhu Mythos backdrop. The Styx Jellyfish is a modified creation inspired by the image of the Great Old Ones, so the early chapters are definitely dark, damp, and musty. The writing switches between clingy, warm, and funny according to the plot. This is a self-indulgent story, so please forgive my strange tastes.
2. The author has a moral compass. Little Dai is expressionless (flicks it away).
3. The heroine is unquestionably the one in power, but she has an inborn habit of falling for looks at first sight. The hero is a gorgeous dad-type man with a youthful vibe, and the heroine's original form's number-one fanboy.
4. The mermaid story exists only in the hero's imagination. The heroine who rescued him didn't see it that way at the time.
