Euryce smiled and whispered in Asha’s ear,
“I’m feeding him.”
Asha covered her mouth and laughed, to which she added,
“He looks skinny, but he’s actually a real man. The Ricaons here are all beasts… no, very primal. They are no joke when courting a woman they like.”
Euryce said that although he was not her style and she had cruelly refused his courtship twice, she had decided to marry him after seeing his courage and sincerity in jumping into the flames for her.
As he blew a hand kiss, Euryce caught the flying hand kiss with her mouth and gulped it down.
And she cheekily blew a hand kiss back.
The surrounding Ricaons trembled their teeth but smiled and shook their heads at the two’s unstoppable affection.
Listening to the cheerful love story of the two, Asha suddenly wondered if Jackal would also become primal if he had a woman he liked.
But she soon shook her head.
He looked so cold and curt that he didn’t seem like it.
But then, a mocking sound came from somewhere.
“…To let a strange woman, whose identity we don’t even know, into the organization because of pity. Ricaon is falling apart.”
That voice resonated clearly in the noisy space.
Suddenly, the hideout became as quiet as if cold water had been poured.
Asha knew that those words were meant for her and blankly stared in the direction the voice had come from.
In a corner of the hideout, a man with dark reddishbrown hair was looking at her with a face filled with contempt.
“Hey, you naive princess over there. Come here for a second. Let’s see how much of a flower garden your head is.”
“Gebe! What rude behavior to the captain’s companion!”
“Companion? Companion?”
He spoke with a face that sincerely couldn’t believe it.
“Has the captain ever officially declared her as his companion? Or have any of you ever agreed to such sentimental nonsense?”
The organization members could not answer.
Indeed, Jackal’s attitude towards whether or not he was going to take her as a companion was ambiguous.
As Asha stood up from her seat, Euryce, who was next to her, grabbed her wrist.
When she looked back, Euryce shook her head with a serious face. It meant not to engage him.
A woman without an assigned companion could become the target of another Ricaon at any time.
Recalling the two organization members who had once fought like dogs over a woman, Euryce sincerely worried.
That day, the two organization members almost got kicked out of Ricaon for causing chaos, but they ended up both giving up on the woman after crying and begging for forgiveness from Jackal, with faces torn and swollen.
They were so sensitive and violent about women’s issues that they had a rule to shatter the wrist of anyone who touched someone else’s companion.
And they were just as cautious about admitting women into the organization.
“I’m fine. Nothing will happen.”
Asha spoke gently and as she walked forward, Gev looked up at her arrogantly with his wolflike yellow eyes.
“Do you really want to join our Rikaon, Princess?”
“Yes.”
“Then go the easy way. Why are you trying to take the hard way?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
Gev abruptly stood up from his seat.
And he glared at her with his falconlike sharp eyes and threatened her.
“If you want to woo the captain, woo him properly. Don’t talk nonsense about becoming a hunter, just focus on hunting men.”
Asha’s eyes dimmed at his words.
“That crazy bastard…! What’s he going to do if the captain finds out about this nonsense?”
“Drink a little less!”
Organization members ranted on the side, but Gev didn’t pay attention.
He was clearly annoyed after overhearing her earlier remark to Jackal about becoming a hunter.
Although not as tall as Jackal, he was also tall and wellbuilt.
His arrogant expression emitted a dangerous vibe, but Asha stood her ground and faced him.
“Why is it nonsense that I want to become a hunter? I was sincere.”
The organization members were taken aback by her assertiveness, but Gev scoffed and said,
“Do you know why we don’t allow female hunters? Because the organization can collapse at once because of a single woman.”
He glared at Asha with his sharp eyes as he said this.
“You understand? Rikaon doesn’t need weak female hunters. This isn’t a charity that feeds and houses you for free. Do we have to risk our lives to protect someone we don’t know, huh?”
“Gev, stop it.”
Organization members approached to stop him, but Gev harshly brushed their arms away.
“Ah, let me be, a little!”
Asha looked at him dispassionately and spoke calmly.
“I find your argument quite convincing. You have reason to be dissatisfied with me.”
“You do? Then we understand each other now. Don’t ever talk about becoming a hunter again, just focus on wooing the captain. I won’t say anything about that.”
He blew the mouth of a bottle as if to end the conversation.
Organization members cursed him with nasty faces.
“That, that, damn guy…!”
“Is that something to say to a woman? That’s why he’s always being called a scumbag!”
Organization members clicked their tongues, but Asha silently observed him.
On his neck, where the cape was attached, an eagle badge was affixed. It was a symbol of ‘patrol squad’ in Rikaon.
Being the one who always led patrols to prevent the organization from being endangered, he certainly felt his presence as a threat.
And since Jackal had maintained the same stance from the beginning, Asha didn’t particularly feel bad.
Gev was tilting a bottle of liquor when he noticed Asha still standing in place, and he asked her a bit crookedly.
“Still have something to say, Princess?”
Asha silently met his eyes and sat at the table.
As Gev slightly frowned, wondering what she was doing, Asha looked at the chef and said,
“Wid, could you give me a bottle of liquor too? The same one he’s having.”
“Ho, do you want to go a round with me?”
Gev wiped his mouth with his glove as if it wasn’t funny and looked up at her with an arrogant gaze.
Asha smiled faintly and said,
“I’m likely to join the same patrol squad, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to get to know you.”
Gev’s relaxed expression instantly stiffened, as if he had been hit.

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
