“Actually, it’s easy for you because I showed you once. Spirits also learn the same way from adults. So you should be grateful to me.”
Though the spirit sent a wink my way while rustling its lavender dress, I ignored it and looked away.
If it had been this simple, people wouldn’t have needed to go to the trouble of making cupcakes.
“Can I go now? I’d like to share the cupcake you gave me earlier with my friends~”
“Wait a bit. I have something to do.”
“Huh? Where are you going?”
“To the place we went last time.”
I took out a bag of cookies hidden under the blanket and tucked it securely into my arms.
They were chocolate chip cookies I had baked as practice when making cupcakes earlier in the day. Despite some burnt spots, they were incredibly sweet and crispy, perfect for snacks.
“Um~? Are you going back to that room where that kid named Raven was? Why?”
“I want to give him these. The kid seems lonely.”
“Interesting. A kid taking care of a kid. You look the same age to me.”
Ignoring the spirit’s comment, I created a barrier again, testing what I had just learned.
It was much easier to form than before, as if my proficiency had improved in the short time.
‘Phew, I’m a genius after all.’
However, since it was my first day mastering this new skill, slipping out of the room alone felt somewhat risky.
So, I chose to go with the spirit, asking for its assistance while also practicing my barrier technique.
“Raven, are you there?”
Upon reaching the door and whispering, I heard soft knocking sounds from the other side of the door.
A sign that he was still awake.
‘It’s amazing that he can detect my presence even now.’
For some reason, despite being shielded by the barrier both visually and audibly, Raven had no trouble sensing me.
‘Could it be because he’s of Venian descent?’
After all, even I was a hybrid of demon and fairy, born with strange powers I never anticipated. There was no rule saying Raven couldn’t be the same.
“Alright, let’s go.”
I took a deep breath and recalled what the spirit had taught me earlier.
Sure enough, I closed my eyes, and a few seconds later, a white light enveloped me, and I was inside the room……
“You’re back again. Wandering around at night won’t help you grow.”
“Huh?”
What’s this?
When did I break through the barrier?
‘Really fascinating.’
I looked up at the fairy who yawned casually and secretly admired him.
Of course, it was my talent that made this possible, but I was also amazed that the fairy had taught me the correct method.
“What brings you here today? Don’t come too often. It’s troublesome if people find out.”
Geez, Raven is as blunt as ever.
‘I took the time to come secretly, and you act displeased…’
I puffed up one cheek with air and pulled out a bag of snacks I had hidden in my lap and offered it to him.
“Stop complaining, just eat this.”
“A cookie…?”
“Yes! I made it myself!”
Raven slightly looked surprised, then took the bag of cookies.
As soon as Raven put a cookie in his mouth, his eyes widened.
“…It’s sweet.”
Hmm, does he dislike sugary stuff?
Considering his unusual expression, I thought that might be the case.
“Aw, too sweet? I’ll put less sugar next time.”
“No, it’s perfect as it is.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”
I felt oddly elated by his sincere, though brief, reply.
I chuckled foolishly, watching Raven eat the cookies with satisfaction.
Although I appeared as a three-year-old child, I had lived much longer than Raven, making me feel like an older sister.
“By the way, how old are you, Raven? You still look young.”
“Twelve.”
“What? You’re just a kid!”
The moment I called him a kid, Raven’s expression hardened subtly.
He probably thought he was obviously much older than me.
“You only look about three or four years old yourself.”
“Hey, I’m a vampire! I’m well over fifty!”
In reality, I had spent fifty years in hibernation right after being born, and I’d only been active for about a year, so in human terms, I was barely two or three years old.
But omitting that part was better for my pride.
“I’m different from you. I have a human lifespan. By my standards, you’re just a baby.”
“What’s that supposed to mean!”
“It’s right here.”
Chatting away like this, midnight soon approached.
Usually, time felt like it moved slowly, but when I was with him, it seemed to fly by.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Sure, go ahead.”
As I nodded, Raven, who had been hesitating with an empty snack bag, finally spoke.
“Why, as a member of the royal family, do you never leave the palace?”
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.”
