“The inn only sells something like bread and vegetable soup. We can’t stay at the inn, so we can only buy bread for everyone except Luella with our traveler’s pass.”
Hearing Hagen’s words, Luella almost burst into an argument when Raphael quickly stepped in between them.
“Emma packed some night snacks. Those, along with the bread we can buy for ourselves, should be enough for two days’ meals.”
Reassured by his words, Luella relaxed when Michel, who had been driving the quiet road, stopped the carriage.
“Xenon’s house. Raphael, go.”
Michel watched Raphael descend from the carriage and enter a certain house before turning around to ask,
“Miss Rominin, may I ask something?”
“Call me Luella. What is it?”
“Why are you so sensitive about food?”
The young nobles would never understand. They have no idea what it’s like to live so fiercely, just to eat and survive.
“I’ve been eating only fruits for the three days coming here, and I was quite shocked to hear we can’t buy food.”
Hagen, who was sitting in front, whispered to Tien.
“I’ve never seen a noble young lady who eats so well. Don’t they usually nibble like birds?”
“I can hear you.”
“Ahem. You heard?”
Luella answered without changing her gaze.
“Yes, quite clearly. How can anyone live on a bird’s diet?”
“That’s what everyone else says.”
“Not me. Keep that in mind.”
“Yes, yes. Understood. So how do we contact Shuna? It’ll be odd if we just show up.”
“I’m considering that as well. I hesitate to start a conversation by throwing a party.”
She trusted Shuna but not enough to spill all the beans, especially when she might not even come along.
“Then I’ll call her.”
Tien, who had been quietly listening to Hagen and Luella, spoke. Luella turned to question him.
“Tien?”
“I’m probably the least suspicious among us here, right?”
Being the youngest, Shuna would likely let her guard down around him. Hagen nodded in agreement.
“Fair point.”
But was everyone thinking too simply? Luella continued to express her doubts.
“But what should we say to call her out?”
“Just say we came to see Shuna and when she comes out, tell her Luella wants to see her.”
“Simple enough.”
As Hagen spoke, sounding somewhat disheartened, Michel agreed.
“Indeed, simple enough.”
“Seems like we’re overcomplicating things.”
Agreeing with Hagen’s comment, Michel started the carriage again as Raphael returned.
“Michel, want to switch?”
“It hasn’t been that long since we set out. Let’s rest for a bit in the forest and then switch.”
“What time will we arrive?”
They had departed a little past 11.
“We should arrive around 6 in the morning.”
“We can’t call Shuna out at that time, so we’ll have to wait.”
“I suppose so.”
Luella opened the screen and looked through the quest list, asking,
“Can I hunt animals in front of the Camoon mansion while waiting?”
By now, no one was surprised by Luella’s odd remarks.
“Is it a quest?”
“Yes.”
“You do know why we’re going to the abandoned hunting ground in Oruwol Kingdom, don’t you?”
It was a question that implied the risk of getting caught while hunting wasn’t worth it. Luella, who didn’t intend to make a spectacle while hunting, accepted it with a laugh.
“I’ll only do as much as the quest requires. It’s a beginner zone quest, so I feel like I should do it.”
“Eh, who knows. You shouldn’t hunt without permission, but who cares? The full-scale battle is not far off anyway.”
Hazen grumbled, but everyone knew half of what he said was in jest. Luella turned her head back and deliberately pouted her lips.
“I guess I’ve made it awkward. At least we don’t have to be conscious anymore.”
“When were we ever conscious?”
“Fine, let’s call it cautious. We were cautious, weren’t we?”
Hazen tilted his head as if questioning what she was talking about. In reality, there wasn’t much for them, the empowered ones, to be afraid of in the world.
“Rather than being cautious, we were waiting for the right time.”
Either way, either way.
Listening to the words that came out like an excuse, Luella decided not to be sarcastic for no reason. After all, not just her but anyone would feel stifled if they stayed in the mansion for too long.
“But it does feel liberating, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s very liberating. The front of the Camoon mansion is an area where even the hunting guild can’t easily enter, so let’s go and sweep it clean before moving quickly to the Oruwol Kingdom hunting ground.”
“Great, let’s go and sweep it clean!”
It felt like they had escaped from some sort of restraint. Whether everyone else felt the same way was unclear, but they all looked excited.
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.”
