Like how the butler silently dedicated me to the bird prince, my subordinates obediently returned me to Hadel. While bathing, Hadel, having heard through the butler that I had been kidnapped by the birds, rushed out without even drying and searched for me. As he claimed, water was still dripping from Hadel’s hair when he found me.

Nevertheless, I couldn’t forgive Hadel. I clenched my fist, swiftly turned my body away.

“Kyu.”

Go away. I don’t feel like talking to you. I won’t talk.

As I replied with a cold gust of wind, Hadel politely bowed and apologized.

“I’m sorry. I won’t leave you to the butler again.”

“Kyu.”

Still not talking to you.

I turned my body back in the opposite direction. Sitting back with Hadel behind me, suddenly, a familiar cooing sound filled the air.

“Kyu-kyu! Kyu-kyu-kyu!”

This is all because of Hadel!

‘I’m just a pigeon, but it’s weirdly embarrassing. Acting all self-conscious and then turning me over to the bird prince alone.’

After expressing my anger at Hadel, I sat back down, exhausted, and Hadel, who had persistently followed me, made a distressed sound.

“Kyu-kyu, vent your anger. I was wrong.”

“Kyu.”

“I won’t do that again. Promise.”

“Kyu-kyu.”

Humph, can’t trust you.

Whether Hadel wanted to praise his seriousness or didn’t like his change in attitude, I didn’t know. Anyway, I felt bad, so I kept playing tricks on Hadel.

After I had been sulking for a while, Hadel suddenly sighed deeply and brushed his hair back.

“Phew.”

‘Huh? Why suddenly?’

Despite continuing to tease Hadel, once he looked serious, my heart eased.

‘Is he angry? Because I kept cooing?’

But I’m angry too! Knowing how terrifying it was for the birds, and to give them a chance again.

‘Especially because I’m a female, so he’s concerned about that.’

Where does such a foolish thing happen? I was expressing my irritation by sticking out my lips when it happened.

Hadel’s hand suddenly grabbed me. When I lifted my head, his lips pressed against mine.

side.

Hadel’s lips touched mine suddenly. I widened my eyes in surprise.

‘W-What is this all of a sudden!’

Even if we touched lips and then separated, I didn’t turn into a human. It was just a quick kiss, there was no time to absorb the mana.

“Haa.”

Hadel sighed again. Looking at his expression, burdened with all the world’s suffering, I realized what he was thinking when he kissed me.

‘Oh, he thought because we couldn’t communicate, he’d turn me into a human.’
In a situation where we needed to express emotions, it would be much better than chatting with cooing and pigeon talk. It was a use of kissing that I had never thought about.

Hadel, who sighed, approached my lips again. Slower than before, his lips approached. Even though I was mentally prepared, I quickly closed my eyes.

side.

When our lips touched, mana flowed towards me like lava. Starting from the lower abdomen, heat spread throughout my body. I shivered.

‘Uh, this feeling doesn’t seem to get familiar no matter how many times.’

The sensation of lost mana filling up was truly delightful. However, relying on others for this process was terribly embarrassing. It felt like sharing my innermost secret with others.

‘Ah, I became human.’

At some point, Hadel’s hand, which was holding me, pulled me closer around my waist. His soft and short fur transformed into abundant pink hair.

‘To become human, we have to kiss each other for more than a minute.’

With that thought, I tried to slowly detach my lips from Hadel’s.

“Huh? Ugh!”

At that very moment, wasn’t Hadel’s strong arm pulling me even closer to his body! I was so surprised that my eyes widened.

‘Why doesn’t the kissing stop even though we became human?’

Hadel’s neat eyelashes were visible from a close distance. Looking at him gently closing his eyes and concentrating solely on the kiss, a corner of my heart tingled.

‘Hadel…’

As if sensing my gaze, Hadel’s eyelids slowly opened.

In the deep red pupils that shimmered with intense emotions, the moment I read a certain feeling, I pushed Hadel away with both hands.

“Hadel!”

It felt like my mind suddenly woke up.

So far, our kissing was merely an act of exchanging mana, neither more nor less. Hadel was always dazed, and I only overlapped our lips to alleviate Hadel’s pain.

But this contact was clearly different. From the palm of my hand to the tips of my hair, it felt ticklish, a strange sensation.

‘What is this?’

As if I understood, when I bit my lower lip, Hadel, who had been holding me, took a step back with a bitter smile.

“…Even so, you probably don’t feel anything.”

“What?”

However, that emotion quickly disappeared from his face, and the Hadel facing me had his usual indifferent expression. He turned his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.

“Now I should prepare clothes for you in my room.”

“Eek!”

Only then did I realize that I wasn’t wearing clothes, so I hastily grabbed a nearby blanket, wrapped it around me, and screamed.

“Don’t look! I’ll scold you if you see!”

In response to my scream, Hadel shrugged and replied in a nonchalant voice.
