In fact, the important treatment for the wounded soldiers had already been completed with only Tane remaining.
“Grandmother would probably predict my illness as soon as she sees me. Is it a fortunate thing or not?”
As she melted her tired body, Shar-ti laughed softly.
Then, suddenly, she recalled what she had said to Ren during the day.
“Let’s talk tomorrow. I’ll go to bed early today.”
The laughter abruptly stopped, and Shar-ti hugged her knees in the water.
In the water, she wiggled her toes.
“…Surely, he didn’t interpret it as let’s talk all day tomorrow, did he?”
For Shar-ti, it naturally meant briefly in the morning, or perhaps at lunch or dinner.
Reconsidering her statement, Shar-ti rested her chin on her knees.
“It feels like tomorrow is coming soon, considering the time.”
Although I wanted to believe that I wasn’t emotionally prepared yet, that was just an excuse.
Hesitating to proceed with what I had already decided was due to trembling nerves. The unfamiliar tremor caused by the familiar tension. It was unclear what it meant.
It was anticipation.
“Let’s pull ourselves together and leave now.”
In the darkness, Shar-ti got up.
It was when she finished a satisfying bath and was clumsily pulling out the magic stone from the bathtub.
“Sha?”
Ren’s voice echoed softly from beyond the bathroom door. Soon, his footsteps followed.
Seeing the bedroom door open, it seemed he was searching for her.
“Oh, uh…”
The flustered Shar-ti sat back in the bathtub.
With only her eyes raised above the edge of the bathtub, Shar-ti stared at the bathroom door.
“Where on earth is that body going with…?”
A firm voice echoed through the gap of the bathroom door.
Staring at the bathroom door with an uneasy eye, Shar-ti’s face gradually turned pale.
The door latch was not locked.
“Why, why is that… Did I forget to lock it?”
It was clear that she was distracted by the heat of the water.
With the footsteps getting closer to the bathroom, Shar-ti clenched her fist.
Before Ren opened the bathroom door, she had to at least give some signal by knocking on the bathtub frame.
Tap, tap! Tap!
“…Sha?”
Fortunately, Ren understood Shar-ti’s signal.
As Shar-ti breathed a sigh of relief, his murmur was heard right outside the door.
“It’s strange. I can’t see any light at all…”
“…!”
Shar-ti inhaled sharply and bit her lip.
It was midnight, and she was the only one planning to bathe, so she skipped the bathroom light and left the magic stone in the bathtub.
In the dark bathroom, Shar-ti desperately knocked on the bathtub frame.
It was a desperate signal, saying it’s okay, don’t open the door.
“…?”
As the signal was transmitted, it became quiet outside the door.
Shar-ti became more anxious.
“Why, why isn’t he leaving?”
Shar-ti swallowed dry saliva.
During this time, the water in the bathtub was gradually cooling.
Deciding it would be better to put on clothes quickly, Shar-ti reached for the clothes she had left near the bathtub.
While pondering on whether it was safe to open the door, Shar-ti, clenching her fist, sat back in the bathtub.
When her fingertips touched the hem of the robe, the footsteps were getting closer to the bathroom.
Shar-ti raised her fist, ready to knock on the bathtub frame before Ren opened the bathroom door.
Tap, tap!
“…Sha?”
Luckily, Ren understood Shar-ti’s signal.
As Shar-ti was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his uneasy voice called her.
“Is it really okay, Sha?”
With a voice that seemed to tremble, Shar-ti sat up straight.
Swoosh.
As she came out of the bathtub, the sound of water echoed. Ren’s hesitant footsteps retreated as she exited the bathroom.
Shar-ti quickly wiped off the moisture with a towel and hastily put on her clothes.
Finally, after covering her face with the hood, Shar-ti left the bathroom.
“…?”
As soon as the door opened, Ren scrutinized Shar-ti and then, after inspecting the bathroom, finally relaxed his stern expression.
Dondt’s intrusion had become a trauma not only for Shar-ti but also for Ren.
As Shar-ti wriggled her fingers, Ren’s gaze naturally shifted to her palm.
Seeing Ren waiting for her confession, Shar-ti took a deep breath.
“Uh, did you not sleep?”
“…….”
“I thought Ren was sleeping.”
Looking down, Shar-ti, struggling to speak, was met with Ren’s blank gaze.
Then Ren suddenly snapped out of it.
“I went outside. There were weeds to clear, and I had to pick up some things.”
As Ren responded dully, Shar-ti breathed a sigh of relief.
Observing that, Ren sighed inwardly.
If he had answered a little later, the conversation with Shar-ti might have ended.
“It still seems quite windy; don’t push yourself.”
“…Did the fever go down? Are you feeling dizzy?”
“Ren is the one who should be saying that. I’m fine, how about you? No itching on your face?”
“I’m fine.”
Ren, feeling strangely elated by Shar-ti’s voice, listened attentively.
Whether it was due to tension, Shar-ti’s voice sounded stiffer than before as the conversation continued.

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

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.”
