I woke up seeing the flustered look on Lowell's face as he shoved Macan's face on the ground. He was instinctively preventing him from looking at my body. Tora couldn't utter a word and tumbled to the ground out of surprise. She cried silently at the sight of me descending in front of them. I felt relieved that Tora and Macan were safe, so I was expecting that Nyala was also safe. I greeted Lowell, who was blushing while trying hard to look away from me. He didn't respond as if he were ignoring me, but his face was bright red due to embarrassment. I saw him lightly open his mouth as if he were about to say something, but not a single word came out. He ended up clenching his jaw as he shut his eyes to face me. I suddenly realized that my hair had become too long. I looked like the princess that was held captive upon realizing that I was naked. For some reason, I didn't feel embarrassed and tried to approach Lowell. Tora stood up, pulling her brother away in an instant. "I'll get y
"You grew up quite a lot in just a month. Are you uncomfortable with your hair?" my brother asked as he took me in his arms."Yes, Brother. It's quite annoying because it's heavy," I answered as I wrapped my arms around his neck while resting my chin on his shoulder."But... We can't cut it here. Let's go back to your room first. Gurion is excitedly waiting for you," he grinned enthusiastically."Don't worry, Ari. I'll lift your hair for you so that you can rest on the way. Your room is quite far from here," Dillon offered kindly."I will go ahead and mend Ari's clothes so they can fit her again," Tora said before dashing away.It's so amusing to see Tora being overactive. There might have been some good news that I am not aware of. I'll have to ask her when I have a chance.Lowell followed quietly from behind as my brother started walking.I was surprised to see Jael, Aja, and Nyala in front of the central hall when we stepped out of the door."Dear goddess, we owe you our lives. We t
"No. Rather, it sounded more enticing, but I am finding it hard to resist my urge. I want to... Urgh! Never mind... I understand now why Lowell suddenly lost his control like that a while ago. Tsk! The scent of the Wolf stinks!" he complained while rubbing his face on my neck before licking it as if he were cleaning it using his tongue. "No, he's not! Your scents are both equally refreshing. Also, Lowell cleanses his body fairly well. He is actually a clean freak despite being a Wolf. He also takes a bath every day using the oils and potions that he was making for me just to test if it is safe before handing it over to me." I disagreed while giggling at his jealous tone as I turned my back against him. "Ugh! Are you seriously provoking me right now?" he whispered in my ears upon pulling my waist firmly with both hands. He suddenly pushed me onto the bed, causing me to crawl back in surprise. He caught my arm to prevent me from crawling back any further. I was confused and quite ner
He mumbled in hesitation, trembling as if he was about to cry, "A-Ari, I—never mind, go ahead. My sister is already waiting for you inside." I responded in a low voice, "Hmm. Let's talk about it when you're ready, okay?" He squeezed my hand before letting go. I turned around despite my hesitation and curiosity. I can't force him to speak up if he's not even ready to open up. I was just happy that he was already cured of his illness. I didn't know that my power could heal their existing illness. I only took a quick bath and changed my clothes with Tora's help. I was still perplexed as to what Macan was thinking, but he was too busy cleaning up to talk about it. He was used to keeping everything in because he was unable to communicate for a long time. After refreshing, I realized it was past noon, so they probably had their lunch. I wanted to eat with them, but my stomach was already grumbling from hunger—I wouldn't be able to wait until dinner time. Just right after we managed to g
The rays of the sun shimmered through the window while I was trying to calm myself. The sun was setting, shedding its light along the horizon as it showed a beautifully drawn silhouette of the mountain from afar. Sweat runs down my body as I try to take deep breaths one after another while looking at a nostalgic scene from the vast window of my room. I was alone in the room while the others were preparing for dinner. They didn't let me help with the preparation because they wanted to surprise me with the dishes they were about to prepare. I appreciate their efforts, but the loneliness was killing me, as if I wanted to run to them now if I wasn't exhausted. I couldn't help but think too much about everything. It felt like it was just earlier when I went through the bridge, but it had already been a month since the day of the poisoning incident. I haven't even clarified the things that happened before the incident, but they all acted like everything was already settled. Dillon said I
I expected everyone to feel disappointed upon hearing what I really felt and thought from the start. I knew I might hurt them, and the same goes for myself, but I have to be honest with everyone at all costs because I have to straighten things up. I don't want to regret things in my current life anymore. I don't want to have any other burden before fighting an impossible battle. I focused on informing everyone about what happened during my absence, then burst into tears, asked for forgiveness, and told them I was initially tempted to go back to the place I used to live in my previous life. I told them everything on my mind without looking at them, fearing the sight of even a slight disappointment in their reaction. Everyone became silent for a moment as we sat in front of the table, which was stacked high with various delicacies cooked by their combined efforts—dishes I had taught them throughout our tour. The aroma of ham glazed with honey, roasted duck, steamed buns, and dumplings
Everything went well when we set off from the Canan Village, though Blake didn't bid us farewell. It was a relief that he decided to stay in a safe village—I trusted that Jael and his family would take care of him on my behalf.We planned to sail in the ocean further north because it would be quite a risk if we sailed from the nearest shore because it's the Siren's territory. Also, not even a single one of us knew how to sail a boat, except for my basic knowledge of ship mechanisms.During our journey, we allotted some of our time to hunting practice every day. I also taught Gurion how to wield a bow and arrow, while Dillon made a small set for him similar to the design he made for me. Lowell also taught Gurion how to wield a spear since he requested it and made a small spear for him. I was so amazed at how fast he could learn to wield weapons, despite his young age.Tora also wields a knife similar to my brother and Dillon, but Dillon always left them alone for some reason during prac
We were stocked on top of the tree while vigilantly watching the movements of the Sirens surrounding the area. We had to mask our presence, especially mine and Tora's, to prevent them from spotting us. In the Beastman World, Sirens were similar to the half-human, half-fish mythological creatures we called mermaids in my previous life, but their aggressive forms were quite monstrous compared to the mermaids I knew. According to the elders, their passive forms were undoubtedly the most attractive for any female. They look human with beautifully colored scales surrounding some parts of their body—scales that cover up their private body parts, creating the illusion of a piece of clothing. Their eyes resemble the colors of different types of pearls and gems. The colors of their scales were vibrant and beautiful. Their hair was long and could sometimes be mistaken for that of a female. They have buffed bodies and extremely irresistible scents, at least for females. Their passive-aggressiv
