At the moment when Harrison was about to grab Maria’s shoulders and kiss her, rumble, rumble.
The beautiful sunset disappeared in an instant, and heavy dark clouds rushed in.
“Well, what’s happening?”
“Even if it’s time for the monsoon, it should be far away… Is it going to rain suddenly?”
A sudden shower was a climate phenomenon commonly seen in the Cokfield region. So, it wasn’t particularly strange, but since it hadn’t rained during the dry season for a long time, this situation seemed peculiar.
“What’s going on?”
“Is it going to rain?”
“At this time? No way…”
With a fluttering heart, Harrison, who had lowered his head again, covered Maria’s lips with his swollen ones.
Flash.
“K-Kyaah!”
“Kiiiaaah!”
A beam of light descended from the sky, piercing through Harrison’s mansion.
The pure white flames descended upon the ground at a terrifying speed, engulfing Harrison Cokfield in light for a few seconds.
A massive lightning bolt descended from the sky, hitting precisely the Cokfield mansion.
“K-Kuaaah!”
“This is divine punishment! It’s divine punishment!”
For a while, chaos ensued among the people in Cokfield mansion.
Strangely, no one died from being struck by lightning, but it was enough to make people panic.
Harrison, who barely regained his composure, shouted with the hair burned by the lightning.
“Ugh… What on earth is happening!”
“Heuk, Hieeek…”
Maria, the governess, had already lost consciousness, and her body was still convulsing from the lingering electricity.
As the woman who claimed to be Lady Elizabeth Kitten’s delegate had described them like zombies, Harrison, pretending not to see the government, stepped back.
“Butler, where are you? I need to find out why this strange phenomenon occurred.”
Although Harrison’s body was trembling from the lightning, he tried to maintain a dignified appearance.
However, with his tattered dressing gown, finding dignity was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The butler, whose pigtail-like mustache had been burnt to a crisp by the lightning, appeared.
In the butler’s hands was a communication tool.
“More importantly, sir. I received a message from the main Kitten Duke.”
“What?”
“I don’t know, but it seems to be urgent. The Kitten Duke asked you to receive the message quickly.”
Despite the tremendous incident caused by the lightning, strangely, only the communication tool looked as clean as new.
“…Tsk.”
‘That clueless, cheeky girl is surprisingly persistent.’
However, unable to ignore it, Harrison reluctantly took the call.
Hello, Cokfield Duke. This is Lady Elizabeth Kitten.
“Yes, this is Duke Harrison Cokfield. For what reason did you call, Lady Elizabeth Kitten?”
Even though he sensed the butler taking a deep breath beside him, Harrison ignored it.
It was a considerable rudeness to inquire about matters first to the head of the Kitten family.
But currently, Harrison’s mind was so uncomfortable due to the unexpected lightning strike that he was in a state where he could object to anything.
‘If this is another prank by that ignorant girl, she better back off. I’m really uncomfortable now. I need to get healed by a healing mage soon.’
In addition to the pleasant time with Maria, which was also disturbed, Harrison was in an irritated state.
…Are you Mr. Harrison Cokfield?
“Yes, that’s correct.”
The voice of the young woman coming through the communication device was different from the person who claimed to be her delegate yesterday.
Like something crafted from crushed flower petals, the firm voice, as if sharpened with sharp crystals, indicated that its owner was Elizabeth Kitten.
Whispering in a voice suitable for stringing pearls, Elizabeth spoke softly.
Yes. How did the taste of divine punishment feel?
“What, what?”
What is this crazy woman babbling about?
For a moment, Harrison Cokfield almost forgot the barrier of dignity between them and was about to shout.
Elizabeth Kitten’s playful words didn’t stop there.
It’s about the lightning strike that hit your luxurious mansion in the center of Cokfield’s downtown. Well, I did that.
“What, what…!”
Oh, more precisely, it was the divine punishment sent by ‘Zero,’ the god who protects me, to the impure elements who did not heed my warning.
“God? You mean a god?”
To dismiss it as a whimsical story, Harrison was already in a state of dizziness from being struck by the huge lightning bolt.
Even the butler’s singed mustache was not clear in front of him.
“I-Is this really the punishment of a god…?”
Gradually, Lord Harrison Cokfield’s tone became more respectful.
Whether it is or not. If it’s not, then who else could have done such a thing? If not a god…
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
