< Chapter 111: This Is Not It (3) >

The misunderstanding between the two was resolved quite easily. It was much easier compared to the time with Maiden and Yu Hwa.

โ€œWow, youโ€™re a Beastmen princess.โ€

โ€œSo those animal ears were real.โ€

It had to be easy.

I had to lie to Group B (Maiden, Yu Hwa, Hermit, Choi Ji-hoon, etc.) who thought I was a survivor of a biological experiment.

But I didnโ€™t need to lie to Group A (Shin Jia, Ha Si-yeon) who believed I was a half-angel, half-elf, and a hero.

โ€”โ€What did you say this time? Donโ€™t tell me you called me a test subject again.โ€

โ€”โ€No, I didnโ€™t need to lie to these two. I simply introduced you as the Beastmen princess.โ€

Princess Rena looked at me suspiciously.

โ€”โ€Is that so? After all, I find it hard to believe that you easily convinced them that the Beastmen, who disappeared thousands of years ago, have reappeared.โ€

She was skeptical.

Is it because Iโ€™ve been playing too many pranks lately? Sheโ€™s developed a tendency to doubt me first.

โ€”โ€Itโ€™s true.โ€

Still, Princess Rena didnโ€™t get rid of her skeptical look.

It was then that Ha Si-yeon spoke to me.

โ€œSeo-yul, what is the princess saying?โ€

โ€œShe doesnโ€™t seem happy. Did we do something rude?โ€

Both looked anxious.

They canโ€™t understand what weโ€™re saying, so of course, theyโ€™d feel that way.

โ€œItโ€™s not like that.โ€

โ€œBut her expression is frowningโ€ฆโ€

Jia looked back and forth between me and Rena anxiously.

โ€œThereโ€™s another reason for that. And thereโ€™s no need for formal speech. Weโ€™re the same age, so whatโ€™s with the honorifics?โ€

โ€œSame age? 20 years old?โ€

Jiaโ€™s eyes widened.

โ€œYes. The average lifespan of a Beastmen is 200 years, so their growth rate is half ours.โ€

That explains why she looks about 10 years old.

โ€œThat appearance is 20 years oldโ€ฆโ€

Both of them stared at Rena, surprised. Then Rena spoke sharply.

โ€”โ€What did you say to make them look at me like that?โ€

โ€”โ€I just told them youโ€™re 20 years old. Theyโ€™re surprised, thatโ€™s all.โ€

Rena nodded in understanding.

โ€”โ€Hmm. If we go by human standards, I do look around 10 years old. I understand.โ€

โ€”โ€By the way, shouldnโ€™t you introduce yourself first?โ€

โ€”โ€Ah, right. That comes first.โ€

Iโ€™d forgotten.

Facing Jia and Si-yeon, who were still looking surprised, I spoke.

โ€œPrincess Rena wants to introduce herself first.โ€

โ€œAh, right. We forgot.โ€

โ€œWe were distracted.โ€

โ€œOf course, a lot is going on. Princess Rena will go first.โ€

Both responded with a look of realization. I gestured to Princess Rena.

โ€”โ€Ahem.โ€

Rena cleared her throat and stood up, adopting a solemn expression. Truly, she looked regal, worthy of being a direct descendant of a king.

Jia and Si-yeon swallowed. Pleased with their reaction, Rena spoke.

โ€œHello. I am Rena Beast Liperiel.โ€

I couldnโ€™t help but burst out laughing.

After adopting a solemn tone, to say โ€˜Helloโ€™ like that. Knowing her usual tone, it was hilarious to me.

The gods who told Princess Rena that formal speech is solemn really played a trick.

Ah, this is so much fun.

โ€œPrincess, hello. My name is Ha Si-yeon.โ€

It seems only I found it funny.

After all, these two donโ€™t know Renaโ€™s solemn tone (in the Beastmen language). Thereโ€™s no reason for them to find it funny. She just seems like a polite princess to them.

โ€œMy name is Shin Jia. Nice to meet you.โ€

Both finished introducing themselves cheerfully.

โ€œHa Si-yeon. Shin Jia.โ€

Princess Rena nodded at each of them.

She had memorized their names. A heartwarming scene, but communication wasnโ€™t advancing because the languages didnโ€™t match.

All three looked at me at the same time.

Their faces seemed to ask for some mediation.

โ€œUm.โ€

This is frustrating when they canโ€™t understand each other.

Because Iโ€™ve been focusing on learning magic, Iโ€™ve only had time to teach her basic words, and now weโ€™re having this problem.

โ€œWhy are you two here? Whatโ€™s going on?โ€

โ€œAh? Oh, nothing special. We came a little late for a housewarming visit.โ€

โ€œWho could have guessed something like this would happen?โ€

Both smiled awkwardly.

โ€œAh, this is a housewarming gift.โ€

Ha Si-yeon pulled out a shopping bag.

โ€œWhat is it?โ€

โ€œJia and I tried to make some side dishes. Youโ€™ve been eating delivery food every day since you left the dorm, havenโ€™t you?โ€

Ha Si-yeon glanced at the cooling pork belly on the side.

I had nothing to say.

I have indeed been using a food delivery app for meals lately.

โ€”โ€Pork belly.โ€

Princess Rena looked at the cold pork belly and bowed her head. Her ears drooped; she seemed quite disappointed.

โ€œYou didnโ€™t say you have pork belly for the princess, did you?โ€

โ€œHuh? Oh, yeah. This princess likes meat. Sheโ€™s a wolf, you know.โ€

โ€œAha.โ€

At that moment, Ha Si-yeonโ€™s eyes sparkled.

โ€œThatโ€™s perfect then.โ€

She then took out a container with long-term storage from his shopping bag.

โ€œI brought some braised ribs to eat together.โ€

The moment the container was opened, the aroma of the braised ribs tantalizingly tickled my nose. You could tell it was delicious just by the smell.

โ€œOh, wow. What is that?โ€

The princess seemed to be captivated by the aroma as well. Her eyes gleamed, just like when she first tasted chicken.

โ€”Ah, the kids brought some side dishes for us. Thatโ€™s braised ribs.

โ€”Ribsโ€ฆ

At this moment, it seems like saliva could start dripping any second.

โ€œPrincess, you seem to like it?โ€

โ€œIt seems so.โ€

At her strong reaction, both Si-yeon and Jiaโ€™s faces brightened up.

โ€œThen Iโ€™ll go heat this up a bit.โ€

โ€œThen I will get the dishesโ€ฆ Ancestor, do we have dishes?โ€

โ€œThey should be up there.โ€

I havenโ€™t written this before, butโ€ฆ

The two moved as if they were one body. About a minute passed like that.

โ€”Oh, ohโ€ฆ this isโ€ฆ

On the table, a feast was laid out. The princessโ€™s face seemed to say, โ€œIโ€™m so happy.โ€

โ€œDone! Letโ€™s eat!โ€

Finally placing the galbijjim (Korean braised ribs) in the center, Ha Si-yeon also took her seat.

โ€”Can we eat now?

โ€”Before that, Princess. Thereโ€™s something you have to say before we eat.

โ€”Ah, right.

The princess swallowed her saliva and spoke in Korean.

โ€œI will eat well.โ€

After saying that, the princess stared intently into my eyes.

Her eyes, shining brightly, seemed to ask, โ€œCan we eat now?โ€ I gave a small nod.

The next moment, the princessโ€™s eyes grew enormous as she put the galbijjim (Korean braised short ribs) in her mouth. With her cheeks puffed up, she twitched her ears and both hands.

โ€œSeems like it suits your taste.โ€

โ€œYeah. Thankfully.โ€

Jia and Siyeon also smiled.

I smiled too.

Just watching them made me feel as if I was becoming happy as well.

In a hotel near Seoul.

โ€•Lust. How long are you planning to just goof off?

โ€œI told you~ One month.โ€

Lust was having a conversation with Maestro.

โ€•You know how big of an impact it is to be absent for a whole month during this busy period.

โ€œIโ€™ve almost finished the tasks that were assigned to me.โ€

โ€•Vagabond still had a lot of things left to do. Thatโ€ฆ

โ€œWhy do I have to do that?โ€

Lust responded with a frustrated expression.

โ€œWhat does the boss say?โ€

โ€•โ€ฆTo just let it be.

โ€œThen itโ€™s settled. Why do you keep telling me to come back?โ€

Before joining the Saviors of Truth, Lust made a contract with Unknown, granting her a one-month period of freedom whenever she wanted. Lust was merely fulfilling that condition.

โ€•โ€ฆAs I said, we are short-handed. And thereโ€™s something only you can do.

Maestro spoke as if he were sighing.

โ€•If you come back now, Iโ€™ll grant you one favor.

โ€œโ€ฆA favor?โ€

โ€•Yes.

Maestro decided to offer Lust a carrot. Lust, who was always hanging around Maestro and tempting him, would surely come back if given this condition.

โ€œAh ha. And use that favor to get you?โ€

โ€•โ€ฆYes.

There might be a time loss, but itโ€™s better than having Lust gone for another three weeks.

โ€œHa.โ€

However, Lustโ€™s reaction was entirely different from what Maestro expected.

โ€œWhat do you take me for, an idiot?โ€

Lustโ€™s expression became malevolent.

Lust had been hanging around Maestro because he was a strong individual who could โ€˜endureโ€™ Lustโ€™s aura.

โ€œWhat are u gonna do about it? Huh. fuck off, you bastard.โ€

Most men fall into a state of heightened lust when touched by Lust, gradually having their life energy drained until they die. The life energy is higher in those with stronger abilities.

Lust, suffering from a severe affection deficit, had no choice but to either prey on weak men or stick to stronger men to feel othersโ€™ warmth.

โ€œAnyway, I wonโ€™t be back for a month, so just know that.โ€

Lust angrily hung up the phone.

โ€œWhat a bastard.โ€ ๐—ณ๐ซ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐ฐ๐—ฒ๐›๐ง๐จ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐ฅ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ

Maestro clearly knew about her affection deficit and made that proposal to exploit her. This fact filled her with unbearable rage.

โ€œWhatโ€™s the use of being handsome?โ€

His personality is trash.

Biting her lip, Lust threw her smartphone against the wall.

โ€œTsk.โ€

What Lust felt at that moment was regret.

Why did she cling to a man like Maestro?

There were times when she thought he was charming.

His resilience to Lustโ€™s aura had been a major factor.

But not now.

His comment a while ago had indeed dampened her affections, and while that played a role, it wasnโ€™t the primary reason.

โ€œSeo-yul.โ€

Kang Seo-yul. The most wonderful, lovable, pure, and perfect man Lust had ever met. There was no way any other man could catch her eye now.

โ€œAhโ€ฆโ€

Thinking of him, the irritation that was bubbling inside her seemed to melt away.

โ€œSeo-yulโ€ฆโ€

The most handsome man she had ever seen. The man to whom she wanted to give everything. The man who made her feel happy just by looking at him.

โ€˜Andโ€ฆโ€™

A man who doesnโ€™t flinch at her touch.

For some reason, she canโ€™t drain his life energy.

โ€œMy destined man.โ€

Lustโ€™s โ€˜Siphon Energyโ€™, based on the system, doesnโ€™t work on Kang Seo-yul, whose existence within the system is unclear. Naturally, her aura that stirs lust also doesnโ€™t work, nor does her ability to absorb life energy.

Of course, Lust doesnโ€™t know this fact.

โ€œI wish it was tomorrow alreadyโ€ฆโ€

Lust licked her lips with an enchanting gaze. freewebn ovel.com

Sunday night.

I was once again practicing magic with the princess.

โ€œYou. Are you really using magic for the first time?โ€

โ€œWhy? Because Iโ€™m doing it so well?โ€

The princess fell silent.

And her silence was soon an affirmation.

โ€œItโ€™s my first time. Donโ€™t you remember? You personally guided my magical power.โ€

โ€œThat is true, butโ€ฆโ€

She looks incredulous.

After all, my talent is so exceptional. Whether itโ€™s due to the knowledge my brother gave me or for some other reason, Iโ€™m not sure.

Once I got the hang of it, there was no hindrance afterward. Now, Iโ€™m even improving it.

โ€ฆOf course, my magical power is so limited that I can only use low to mid-level magic.

โ€œNow youโ€™re about as good as me at fire magic.โ€

โ€œAs good? Am I not better?โ€

โ€œHeh. That wonโ€™t work against me, who possesses the original magic of all four elements.โ€

Rena possesses magic imbued with all four elements earth, water, fire, and air. Itโ€™s unquestionably an overpowered talent.

Learning from such a genius, I too am rapidly evolving.

โ€œAre you sure?โ€

โ€œI can use any fire magic that you can, and you can use any magic that I can, so weโ€™re about even.โ€

โ€œHmm.โ€

I think I have the upper hand in fire magic, but sheโ€™s not entirely wrong.

โ€œOkay. If thereโ€™s a spell that I can use and you canโ€™t, youโ€™ll admit Iโ€™m better, right?โ€

โ€œHeh. Try it if you can. Thatโ€™s if you can!โ€

The princess lifts her head proudly and laughs. I laugh too.

I gather my magical power.

Whooooosh!

A Fire Arrow appears in an instant.

โ€œJust a Fire Arrow? I could do that spell in my sleep.โ€

โ€œAh, donโ€™t be hasty. Just watch.โ€

I smirk and pour more magical power into it.

โ€œโ€ฆWhat?โ€

The Fire Arrow turns white.

Slowly but surely, white overcame the red.

In no time, a special Fire Arrow, glowing in a translucent white, had formed in my palm.

It was a modified spell using the Spiritโ€™s Flame.

No matter how you look at it, she canโ€™t do this. I grinned proudly.

โ€œHow about it? Can you do thisโ€ฆ?โ€

At that moment,

Whoooooosh!

Fire sprouted from behind my back.

โ€œWings?โ€

They were wings.

Surreal wings, glowing in a soft red and white.

Caught off guard by the unexpected event, I was stunned.

โ€œโ€ฆWhat?โ€

At that moment, something flashed through my mind.

I quickly removed my half-glove and checked the back of my hand.

โ€œGone.โ€

The tattoo of the Spirit race is gone.

In other words,

The use of the spirit flame just now has โ€˜fully integratedโ€™ the characteristics of the Spirit race.

โ€œBut what is this effect?โ€

I stared dumbfounded at the wings on my back.
