He definitely couldn’t run away on his own. So, someone must have taken him. In other words, there must be a bigger backer behind those who attacked the mansion, right?
“But how did they get past the barrier? The location of this mansion has never been discovered.”
Why, why? Why are you looking at me with such a meaningful eye?
I know best that I was trapped in the cage all the time. I’m not a psychic spy, nor a communication security spy.
“Except you, Nightsprig.”
It was unfair.
When I first discovered this mansion, I had never seen or felt something like a barrier.
“When I checked today, the red stone of the barrier was shattered. You know what that is.”
What is the red stone of the barrier? I’ve never seen a red stone before…
Wait!
When I came to find this mansion, I rested on a red stone on the way and even took a nap because I was tired. It was flat and just right to lie down on.
That was the barrier stone?
I swallowed my saliva.
I don’t know, I really don’t know.
“You will know when you become human. I hope you don’t drag it out since my patience isn’t long.”
Idrish lifted me up suddenly as I averted my gaze and laid me down. I floated in the air and hid my face with my spikes.
“Don’t hide.”
Why do you keep ordering? Someone might think I’m really his pet hedgehog.
I peeped out with my eyes. Idrish laughed with a kikkik.
Sly.
I struggled, wanting to bite the hand that held me. But my teeth did not reach his body. I quickly gave up and relaxed my body.
Then I realized it was the same position as yesterday.
I was on top, looking down at Idrish. But it only seemed so to my eyes, and Idrish would never recognize me.
I’m a hedgehog, and yesterday I was human, so as long as I don’t get caught changing, it’s fine. If they catch me, that’s it. They would kill me cruelly if they knew I was a therianthrope. Cruelly, like that scout yesterday!
But there was a question.
Why didn’t he kill me if he suspected me so strongly? Just killing me would be easy. He even saved me.
No matter how much I pondered, I could never read the strange mind of that white tiger.
Meanwhile, something else caught my eye.
Idrish’s broad and thick chest looked different from yesterday.
The black traces were barely visible.
Yesterday, it had spread to his side, but now only the top of his right chest was slightly rough.
Strange. I’m sure I didn’t see it wrong. Idrish’s face looked relaxed, and yesterday’s pain didn’t seem to be felt.
“What are you looking at? You perverted Nightsprig.”
Shush! What do you see people, or rather, hedgehogs as! If you don’t like being looked at, wear clothes in the first place!
In my anger, I kicked hard with my hind legs.
Thump, thump, thump.
Idrish put me back on the bed as if he was scared of my appearance.
“Oh, by the way. I think I saw someone during all that.”
I was so surprised that I jumped up halfway. Idrish pushed back my spikes with the tips of his fingers, pressing down.
The face of the intruder, right? It couldn’t possibly be me.
“A woman with red hair, like blood.”
Good heavens. To abandon the poor hedgehog. Why of all things does her hair have to be so conspicuous and red?
Then someone knocked on the door.
Thanks to that, Idrish’s interrogation was abruptly cut off.
“Mr. Idrish, dinner is ready. Shall I bring it to your room?”
“No. Go down now. But I have something to ask.”
“Yes?”
“Is there a beastman with red hair?”
Wasn’t that a story of the past? Just think of it as a dream, you fool!
“The fox beastman has that hair color, doesn’t he? Closer to orange rather than red. Oh, there might be among the monkey or cat beastmen as well.”
“Is that so? What about hedgehogs then?”
Idrish looked at me as he asked Zeros, and Zeros also turned his head in my direction.
I deliberately avoided his gaze.
“The hedgehog beastmen, it’s been so long since I’ve seen them. Usually black or white.”
See. Black or white.
Wait a minute. What about me? Turns out I’m not a hedgehog but a porcupine? I don’t like that….
But Zeros hadn’t finished speaking.
“Sometimes they are red though. Please come down slowly!”
……
The door closed, and the room became quiet.
Idrish got up, grabbing his hanging clothes and buttoning them onto his thick torso.
I couldn’t move an inch, my nose stuck to the blanket.
But there’s still no confirmation.
But despite my thoughts, the spikes were trembling.
Then, having fully dressed, Idrish murmured quietly.
“But it seemed like a dream. It was quite dark too.”
Really?
My black nose twitched with anticipation.
“No, it was too vivid to be a dream. It was a real beastman.”
Are you messing with me now?
Playing with me?
As I was confused, Idrish picked me up and shoved me into his pocket.
Let me go! You deceiver!
As I tried to get out, he firmly blocked the entrance to the pocket with his hand.
“Right. From now on, you will sleep in my room with me.”
What?
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
