That time I was reincarnated as a snake (Tensura)

After praising Mira, I prepared to return to my work, I had to start recreating the device I was making before Mira interrupted me.

Only to be stopped by Mira's hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We always do what you want to do, now it's my turn to decide" she said firmly.

"And what do you want to do?" I said with a raised eyebrow.

"A vacation!" she said excitedly.

"If you're almost always on vacation, except when you practice, you usually do what you want, the last time I lost sight of you, you had gone to the Seren Kingdom to look for Tiger Fish for your lunch, because you said they were very tasty and you didn't even share them with me" I said indignantly.

Look, embarrassed, she turned her head away.

" Cough , I told you there wasn't enough for you, and it wasn't fishing season," she said, avoiding the subject.

"I mean, let's go do something we don't normally do, together, like a couple," Mira said with a cute face.

I've known for a while that she was already interested in me, which is mutual, but now having both human forms may allow us to take a significant leap in our relationship.

"Well, what do you want to do?" I asked with my arms crossed.

"How about we go to that kingdom in the south of the continent, the last time we went looking for that dragon I quite enjoyed the views on the beach."

"Sounds like a plan to me, why not, come on, just let me finish this magic device and then we can go" I said turning my gaze back to my work table.

Only to be pulled by Mira once again.

"No, we're leaving right now, and that's the end," she said seriously.

I raised my hands in defeat.

"Ok, but get rid of the cat ears, it makes you look like a werewolf and right now humans and they have serious conflicts, if they see you with them, they will surely bother us on our vacation" I said regretfully.

Knowing that it would be a nuisance, Mira decided to go back to having normal human ears.

We both used shadow movement and went to where we found the water dragon last time.

Once there we headed to the largest city in the area.

The port city of AquaMoon, one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the kingdom of Trident due to its privileged location, with access to the sea to the south and to the west of it is the great Sapphire River, which connects the sea with Lake Aquacity to the north, the second largest lake on the continent after Lake Siss in the Jura Forest, this allows the kingdom of Trident to trade with many other human kingdoms, selling a wide variety of exotic fish, although due to transportation problems, its export is very limited.

As always, Mira and I infiltrated the city without any complications.

Once inside, I was dragged by the arm by Mira to the shopping street, where we spent several hours looking at the different products, such as fish, fish and... or of course, more fish, what else could a port city have in this world where maritime trade cannot be carried out because of the sea monsters that destroy all the ships that move further than a few hundred meters from the shore.

But Mira seemed to be enjoying the wide variety of fish, and as a good companion, I paid for everything she wanted, although we managed our money together, not that we cared much about getting more, plus I had to act as a bag carrier, the tragic fate of every man when shopping with his girlfriend.

Although I could put it all in my shadow, I decided to feel the whole experience, since we were trying to do things we normally don't do.

After several hours of wandering around the city, we decided to take a break, since we didn't have a house in this city, and the place didn't have good views, we went to a secluded beach where there were no signs of living beings and with some materials and magic, I built a beach house, although not very big, of exquisite craftsmanship, the patio of it overlooked the ocean.

To avoid being disturbed, create some simple concealment barriers, as well as some alarm barriers in case someone sneaks in.

Then I prepared beach outfits for both of them, for me a simple and comfortable black swimsuit, and for Mira, I made her a sexy two-piece black bikini.

With the sun setting on the horizon, I decided to grill some of the fish we had bought during the day.

"Here you go, it's hot, be careful," I said as I gave Mira a grilled fish.

"Thank you…Ugh…hot" Mira said blowing air onto her tongue.

I laughed at his misfortune.

In response she elbowed me in the ribs, causing me to choke on the fish I was eating.

So she laughed at me.

We both started laughing together.

After eating , we lay back on beach chairs I had set up, watching the bright orange lights of the sunset as we drank my attempted soft drink, which I still hadn't quite enjoyed, but was better than the first version I thought.

I leaned back in the chair with my hands behind my head, closing my eyes and enjoying the sea breeze hitting my skin.

When I felt something…

I felt like someone had sat on my stomach, when I opened my eyes, it was none other than Mira.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Claiming my territory," she said proudly, her hands crossed, further emphasizing her breasts.

I raised an amused eyebrow at his comment.

"Oh, and how do you plan to do it? I am a free being..." before I could finish my sentence, my mouth was sealed with Mira's lips.

Our lips met in a slow touch, charged with affection rather than desire. There was no hurry in that kiss, only the warmth of mutual company, the relief of knowing that we were together. The kiss lasted for several minutes. When our lips separated, she rested her forehead against mine, letting out a slight, broken laugh.

"Just like that," Mira said.

"He refused me," I said, and with a quick movement, I reversed our positions.

Now I was on top of her.

With my hands I began to caress her delicate body, with my mouth I gave soft kisses to her body, starting with her beautiful feet, slowly I went up her body, she began to get hot with my touches, I kissed her little toes, her calves, her thighs, I placed special emphasis on them, I wanted to convey my passionate desires to her, continuing the journey I ended up reaching her little flower, with a quick movement of my arms, I separated her legs, she tried to cover her flower with her hands, but I easily pushed them away, my mouth just a few centimeters from her most precious place, although covered by her bikini, I could capture underneath, the moisture caused by my touches.

I gently began to lick her bikini, Mira tried to get me to stop, she wanted to close her legs, but I stopped her, I continued licking, as if it were the tastiest ice cream popsicle on a hot summer day and like a popsicle, with each lick drops of liquid fell to the floor.

She wanted to moan, but she didn't want to look weak, so she used both hands to cover her mouth, while stimulus after stimulus made her tremble in ecstasy, when it seemed that she would reach orgasm, I stopped abruptly.

With a feeling of loss, she gave me an annoyed look, to which I responded with a funny face, leaving the place between her legs, I continued my journey of kisses down her body, passing by her navel, with which I played using my tongue, her toned belly, defined but without bulky muscles and her plump breasts, while with my left hand I continued to stimulate her little flower, I used my right hand to rhythmically knead one of her breasts, the double attack on her body, completely stimulating Mira, when it seemed that she would reach orgasm once again, I stopped abruptly again.

Annoyed by me playing with her, she hit me on the head with her fist, which I ignored and continued with my journey, kissing her delicate neck, while using both hands to stimulate her breasts, pinching her erect nipples, her moans resonated like the songs of an oriole, when she reached orgasm again, I gave her what she wanted so much, with one last stimulus, she came like a fountain while I gave her a passionate kiss, to which she responded by hugging my head and pulling me closer to her.

Between gasps from both of us, I told him...

"I am the one who claims this territory," I said proudly.

"Let's call it a draw," she said with blurry eyes.

"As you wish," I said and lay down next to her and gave her a warm hug.

To which she responded by snuggling into my arms.

The sunset before us slowly gave way to night.

…

The next morning we woke up scorched in the bedroom I had prepared.

If you're wondering, no, we didn't, we just slept together, nothing more.

A new day has dawned upon us.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Mira asked me while hugging me.

"How about we go diving, it shouldn't be a problem for us," I said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Sure, but we should have breakfast first," she said.

To which I agreed.

I got up and went to the kitchen, while I started preparing breakfast, she sat down to watch my art in action.

To use the ingredients we bought, I decide to prepare some breaded fish fillets accompanied by a light salad and a homemade dressing.

With a snap of my fingers, my clothes went from beach attire to chef attire. I roll up my sleeves and arrange the ingredients on the table.

The essential thing when preparing food, hygiene, using water, fire and wind magic I thoroughly wash my hands, I stop when I see them shiny with cleanliness.

First, I cut a white fish, a monster fish of several tens of kilograms in this case, into several fillets using mini water knives. I run my fingers through the flesh to make sure there are no bones and then dry them with wind magic. This is key: if they are wet, the breading does not adhere well.

In a deep plate, I beat an egg with a pinch of salt and a spice similar to pepper. I make sure that the yolk and the white are fully integrated, creating a foamy mixture. In another plate, I pour wheat flour and in a third, I place breadcrumbs.

I dredge each fillet in the flour first, making sure to coat it completely. I shake off the excess and dip it in the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off before transferring it to the breadcrumbs. Using my fingertips, I gently press the breadcrumbs into the fish so that it adheres well. In the end, the fillets look perfectly breaded, ready for the pan.

I heat a large skillet over medium-high heat using fire magic and add enough homemade vegetable oil to cover the bottom. I know the oil is ready when I stick my fingertip in and little bubbles appear around it. I carefully place the fillets in the pan, listening to the sizzle as they come into contact with the hot oil.

I cook each side for three minutes, until they are a deep, crispy golden brown. Then I remove them with tongs and let them rest on paper towels to remove excess grease.

While the fish is resting, I prepare a creamy lemon-garlic dressing, or rather their worldly substitutes. In a small bowl, I mix three tablespoons of a milk-yogurt mixture. I squeeze half a lemon and add its juice, followed by a finely grated clove of garlic.

I add a pinch of salt, pepper and a splash of honey from the monster bees I collected in the Jura forest, to balance the acidity. I mix everything with a spoon and taste. It is smooth, creamy and with a hint of citrus that will perfectly complement the crispy fish.

For the salad, I start by washing some lettuce leaves and drying them well with a kitchen towel. Then I cut some tomatoes in half, their bright red juice contrasting with the green of the lettuce. I peel and grate a carrot into thin strips and cut a quarter of an onion into fine julienne strips.

In a large bowl, I mix everything together and add a handful of sliced nuts for texture. I season with a little salt, pepper and a splash of vegetable oil.

With everything ready, I serve the golden fillets on two plates, along with a generous portion of salad. Using a spoon, I drizzle a little of the dressing over the fish.

I hand Mira her plate, sit down at the table, and take my first bite. The crunch of the breading, the juicy flavor of the fish, and the freshness of the dressing combine perfectly. Each bite confirms to me that every step of the process was worth it.

We both enjoyed our dishes.

"Hmph… they are delicious," Mira said with shining eyes.

"I appreciate the compliment," I said as I continued eating.

After eating, I changed back into my beach attire and we headed into the ocean holding hands.

Without any fear, we dived into the water, holding hands, we swam deeper and deeper, we could see many bright plants at the bottom, as well as corals and some mollusks.

As we were enjoying the view, in the shadows a pair of eyes were staring at us.

When we both seemed completely vulnerable, the shadow moved, quickly coming towards us, its huge mouth full of sharp teeth trying to eat us.

In front of me was a hammerhead shark the size of an orca, he thought we had not noticed his presence, he shook his head, I am always alert with magical perception every time I leave my base, in addition to the use of ultrasonic perception, which is better in aquatic environments.

[Can you believe it? This guy wanted to eat us] I sent a message to Mira.

[A fool, even if we actively hide our aura, should hesitate since we dared to enter the water] Mira replied shaking her head.

With an idea in mind, I created some harnesses and forcibly put them on the hammerhead shark.

With everything finished, I signaled for Mira to come closer.

[How are you? We already have a means of transportation]

Mira seemed amused by my actions, but she climbed onto the shark with me anyway and we resumed our walk.

With the help of our new mount we were able to explore a larger area, thanks to its presence we didn't run into any other blind guys who wanted to cause trouble.

During our walk we found several underground caves which we explored out of curiosity. There were many monsters in them, as well as interesting aquatic plants. It was a wonderful natural landscape, where the rock took on very interesting shapes, and bioluminescent moss grew in abundance, allowing us to appreciate the beautiful reefs without the use of skills.

The further and further we went from the beach, our depth continued to increase.

From my shadow I pulled out a small device and held it in my hand, as we continued to move deeper I continued to monitor the device.

[What's that for?] Mira asked me.

[A small device, it only serves to capture the variation in the concentration of magicules, in a more precise way than my own senses] I answered.

Collecting this data would allow me to know if my assumption was correct, that the deeper we went, the more magicules the concentration continued to increase.

Mira gave me some annoyed eyes.

[We agreed that we weren't going to work on this trip] she said with a pout.

[Okay, okay] after saying that I put my device away in my shadow.

We didn't get out of the water until after noon.

As a thank you for the fun ride, I didn't kill the hammerhead shark and allowed it to go. It didn't have to think twice, it ran away at top speed as soon as I gave my consent.

To pass the time, create two long metal poles and a net to connect them together, stick them in the sand and finally create a volleyball.

After teaching Mira how to play, we started playing, even without our skills, with our reflexes and our strength, the game became much more intense than the original game, with each hit the ball deformed to the point of exploding even when I created it thinking of resistance, for each point on the scoreboard a new crater was formed on the beach, with each pass from Mira her breasts bounced so much that they distracted me from the game, which led me to lose points against her, although I didn't care about that cost.

When we got bored of that, we went into the cabin, where I created a twister mat and we played until we ended up like completely twisted pretzels.

At night, to create ambiance, I created several Hawaiian torches, with them I created a large circle, inside which I lit a large bonfire. Mira and I sat around it on a large wooden bench.

With Mira resting her head on my shoulder and my arms around her, we continued to watch the fire for several minutes.

Letting out a sigh…

"Would you like to hear a story, Mira?"

She answered without turning to look at me.

"What kind of story?" she replied.

"One about an insignificant guy, someone irrelevant to history," I said a little sadly.

"Sure," she said, catching the sentiment in my words.

"Well, it all started like it did with any other person, with his birth, born to a pair of workers, although they were not poor, money was never something they had much of, being a young couple they had not been together for long, just nine and six years ago they had given birth to their first two daughters, they were not in the best economic situation at that time, to their dismay the woman discovered that she was pregnant again, although they knew it would be very hard to raise three children with their meager resources, they decided to have the child, even if that went against what their relatives recommended, to abort the child, but they were vehemently opposed, although the child was never planned, as were their other daughters, they were not willing to take its life even before it was born."

"So they gave birth, when the day of delivery came, to the horror of the doctor who received the child, the poor child was on the verge of death, caused by strangulation, caused by his own umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, the doctor told the couple that due to the damage to his respiratory system he would not live more than a few months"

"Although the couple was heartbroken, they never abandoned their little boy. Not only did they give him all their love during the period they were told he would live, but they went into great debt to seek any treatment that could save their poor son."

"After countless sacrifices by the couple, the child recovered, but because of this, the next few years were hell for them. Due to the debt, they both had to work harder, added to the continuous expenses of supporting the family, it was taking its toll on their bodies."

"The boy, although he did not enjoy luxuries like other children of his age would, enjoyed spending the little time his parents had for him and his sisters. He was mostly raised by his sisters, so he developed a great attachment to them. For him, his sisters were as much like second mothers."

"His father, although strict in his discipline, would take his children on his few days off from his exhausting work to walk in nature, a place free of worries for everyone, where they could relax, although it was a simple life, it was much appreciated by the boy"

"But… everything changed when she was ten years old, at that time the older sister had just entered university, a place to learn the knowledge of her future career as a doctor, for this her parents had made even more efforts to enroll her in a very renowned, but whose tuition costs were incredibly expensive, they, not knowing the high costs that it would entail for their daughter to finish her studies, after only one year, the debt they had acquired for their son, which they had barely paid off, was greatly increased by the university fees."

"But not wanting to ruin the future their daughter had worked so hard for, they could only grit their teeth and give it their all. The boy, seeing his parents' hardships, at the early age of ten, in addition to going to school to learn, began to work alongside his parents, to try to lessen their workloads. It was with this experience that the boy understood how difficult it had been for his parents all these years, knowing how much his parents had sacrificed for him, from that moment on he gained the determination to free his parents from those heavy burdens and let them enjoy the rest of their lives."

"Very high ideals for a simple child, don't you think?... it was after more than six years, that the eldest daughter achieved her goal, she had become a doctor, along with that, her parents and her brother had completely covered their debts, now they could relax… or so they thought"

"Just a few months later tragedy struck, his father died of a heart attack, one moment he was fine and the next he collapsed to the ground, the boy now a teenager, because he was with his father at work, witnessed first hand what happened, when he saw his father fall to the ground he quickly ran to inspect his condition, only to be devastated when he saw that he was dead."

"That figure who had been one of the pillars of his life, who gave him affection, taught him values, showed him how to live an honest life, and with whom he had spent the last few years most closely, now lay on the ground without any sign of life."

"The news of his death was a hard blow for his daughters and his wife. With his death, some relatives tried to help them, but others only coveted what they had. It was in those moments that the boy learned about the filth of human nature."

"They later found out that the mother was pregnant again."

"Not wanting a new tragedy to occur, the boy encouraged his mother to rest, he and his older sister took responsibility for supporting the rest of the family, including his second sister who had also entered a university, but learning the lesson from the first time, she looked for a cheaper one, even if it was mediocre."

"Those years were the hardest for the boy, not only because he had to work while continuing his studies, but because of the sadness caused by the loss of a loved one, sometimes he felt tired of the world, he just wanted to escape from everything, even if it was just for a moment, it was because of this that he discovered something called light novels, books that told epic adventure stories in different worlds, a means to escape from his reality, they became his means to endure."

"Over the years he faced many hardships, such as layoffs from work, wages not paid on time by his bosses, workplace abuse, you could say he suffered the full experience of society even before he came of age, but something kept him going, and that was his new little sister, who couldn't enjoy spending time with her father like the others did, so he wanted to give her the best life he could as compensation."

"But things can always get worse. When the younger sister was only five years old, her mother also succumbed. Years of overexertion had weakened her. She died in a hospital bed, saying goodbye to her children with a smile, while asking them to continue taking care of each other and her little sister."

"The boy was devastated, after years of continuous difficulties, seeing his mother on the verge of death, the one who had always showered him with love and care, the one who spoiled him when his father didn't notice, the person who had sacrificed so much to give him a good life for him and his sisters, was about to die without being able to repay her, he shed tears like a waterfall, he just wanted to give up and accompany her and his father to the bottom, when he was about to fall into despair, his mother with her last strength, gave him a comforting pat on the head and said: 'I know you have worked so hard all these years because you feel guilty for your father and me, don't do it, all the time it was our decision to do everything possible for our children, your older sisters can take care of your little sister, rest, you deserve it, promise me that from now on you will live for yourself, enjoy life, make lots of friends, get a partner, get married, have your own children, although you will not be able to live for yourself, but you will be able to ... Me and your father won't be able to meet our grandchildren, we would have loved to see you all with your own families' with a warm smile"

"And he answered her with tears streaming down his face: 'I promise, I promise,' listening to his promise, with a smile his mother breathed her last, in the room plunged in sadness, the four brothers gave each other a warm hug to comfort each other, while tears fell down their faces."

Tears began to fall from my eyes.

She realized this and hugged me tightly, to which I responded by hugging her back.

We stayed like that for several minutes, only the sound of the burning wood and the waves could be heard.

Rubbing my eyes I continued the story.

"Later the older sister took care of the little sister, while the second sister and the boy finished their studies, following his mother's request, he began to live his life only for himself, at the university he met friends, among them the one who would be his best friend for the rest of his life, his name was Gerardo but he called him Gera affectionately, he met many girls with whom he tried to create romantic relationships, but they never ended well, among his hobbies of light novels, as well as manga and anime, along with his past experiences, he failed to find a partner to share his life with, for their part, his sisters continued with their lives, got married and had several children, from time to time they all got together to spend time together, as they did when their parents were alive, maybe it was because of all the hardships they went through together, but their brotherhood was strong, if someone needed help, the rest would provide it without asking for anything in return."

"One day, the boy now an adult, after returning from a disastrous date that his best friend Gera had recommended to him, started working at home, only to after finishing, start watching an anime, the adaptation of the content of a light novel to a moving image format, in it was told the story of a small slime that had the soul of a human from another world who came to this new world called Cardinal World, who would later become friends with the Storm Dragon Veldora and live great adventures."

"When he finished watching it, he went to a store near his house to buy some food, only for him to be hit by a truck (a vehicle like a cart, but faster and heavier) as he returned from the store, destroying his ribs. As his consciousness faded, and the regret of not being able to keep the promise he made to his mother gnawed at him, he heard a voice in his head. In response to his desire to better withstand blows, she granted him the ability to resist blunt force damage. Later , when he wished to have the ability to overcome everything like he always did and come out stronger than before, the voice granted him the ability to adapt and with the last of his consciousness, he wished to be able to reach the top of his next world, to be able to become a True Dragon, and with that, his consciousness became clouded."

"When he regained consciousness, he found himself near a river, with the body of a small, twenty-centimeter snake, and when he raised his head, he was terrified, because he saw Veldora flying in the sky."

"And so ends the story of that insignificant guy, whose name has already disappeared."

I said as I looked at the flames in front of me and Mira snuggled into my chest.

With magic I materialized two photographs from my memories in my hands, in one you could see a couple in their thirties, with two little girls hugging each other, one brunette and the other blonde, in the center of the photo there was a little boy smiling while jumping high with his arms outstretched and being caught in the air by his father, everyone in the photo was laughing at his antics.

In the other one you could see the three children from the first photograph, but now as adults, with the boy in the center, hugged by his two sisters on either side and their husbands hugging them; in front you could see two boys and a girl, only a couple of years old, trying to knock down a young teenager who was trying to carry them; the whole scene showed the happiness and warmth of a family.

"I hope you are doing well and can continue without me, that is what our parents would have wanted, I could not keep the promise in that world, but I will try to do so in this one" I said in whispers with tears falling from my eyes.

Author's notes:

Did you think there would be a sex scene? Hahahaha

No, I have to admit that I tried to create such a scene, but I didn't like it, even after redoing it several times I'm not completely convinced.

Surprise, I discovered that I'm bad at writing sex scenes.

Rather than leave a mediocre narrative, I preferred to delete it directly.

I'll try to learn how to write those scenes, maybe in the future I'll bring them, but I don't promise anything, I put the R18 tag simply so I wouldn't have to put up with kids complaining in the comments and so I could use any offensive language I wanted in my fanfic.

If you know any AI that can help me create erotic and sex scenes, please share it. Please make it free to use. I've already found some paid ones, but I'm not going to spend money on that.
