A gloomy, innocent nonhuman girl who's everyone's favorite little sister (Xiao Yu) x a slow-witted researcher who's a devoted dad (He Ji)
He Ji picked up a little octopus from the roadside and took it home.
When he discovered that the little octopus in the glass tank had turned into a tentacle girl who looked about ten, he wasn't all that surprised.
Ever since the meteor shower three years ago, the world had been undergoing constant changes.
Still, when the girl wrapped her tentacles around him and called him "Mama," He Ji frowned.
But when he saw the bright, sparkling look in her eyes, he softened.
Call him that if she wants. Wrap around him if she wants.
And if his coworkers tease him every day about the conspicuous red marks, let them.

Xiao Yu grew quickly. In just half a year, she had become a beautiful adult human woman and fully integrated into human society.
One night, she knocked on He Ji's door and earnestly told her bleary-eyed "Mama," "I've reached the age when I should reproduce."
He Ji: "...What?"
He began enthusiastically setting Xiao Yu up with potential partners.
Beautiful ones, young ones, mature ones...
Human, half-human, and nonhuman...
As the number of dates grew, He Ji noticed that Xiao Yu's gaze was growing more and more clinging and lustrously damp.
Hmm... Was she not satisfied with the people he'd picked for her?

At dusk, He Ji was busy cooking at the kitchen counter, wearing an apron.
Xiao Yu hadn't come back yet at this hour, so perhaps this blind date was finally going well.
He didn't notice the door opening ever so slightly.
Not until something suddenly tightened around his waist, and a tentacle climbed up him.
A familiar woman's voice spoke by his ear:
"Stop trying to push me onto other people."
The slick liquid ate through the fabric on He Ji's back, leaving his skin exposed to the cold air and trembling.
"Your beautiful waistline should be on display. You'd look much better in an apron that way."
The girl's slender, pale hands rested on his belly as she asked earnestly:
"How many eggs do you think we should put in the nest?"
"Would two be all right?"
He Ji: "...???"
Don't say things like that with such an innocent, sweet face!
And when did Xiao Yu get so strong?
He couldn't break free at all!
1. The heroine is actually very old, but you can't help being cute when you look like that.
2. There's a flirtatious male supporting character, mainly there to act as a catalyst.
3. This should be a sweet little story about everyday survival in an apocalypse.
