After saying what he had to say, Kain bowed and was about to leave the room. At that moment, Lilia blurted out without thinking.
“You still can’t beat my sister, can you…? Surely more attention will be drawn to her than to me. Naturally. My sister is beautiful even to another woman.”
“You, Miss, are beautiful too.”
“…….”
Kain bowed again and left the place.
Beautiful…….
The words echoed in Lilia’s mind as a twisted smile briefly appeared on her face. She muttered to herself.
“You ‘also’ are beautiful, Miss. That’s not what I wanted to hear.”
What I wanted to hear was, ‘You are more beautiful, Miss.’
(This is a time delimiter.)
The physiotherapist in charge of the rehabilitation, Sir Willen, came to see Liz again today without fail.
“You have improved a lot.”
He had her walk a couple of rounds and then said so.
“I think so too.”
Liz agreed, feeling her body had become lighter lately.
Then her mother spoke.
“It went well. In a few days, it’s her sister’s debutante, so she’ll be able to dance without any problems.”
“Ah… I’m sorry, but that might be difficult.”
Sir Willen said. She had improved a lot, but her muscles were still weak, so it would be too much to dance.
Liz thought to herself that it was a good thing. After all, she didn’t have anyone in particular she wanted to dance with.
“What are you talking about? Not dancing at your sister’s debutante?”
Her mother suddenly flared up.
“Find a way to build up her strength by then.”
No… does she think that’s something that can be done at will? The poor physiotherapist was chastised.
‘She’s strange, but she’s stubborn. She’s really concerned about appearances.’
“Well, there is one way…”
Sir Willen’s words piqued her mother’s interest.
“What is it? What?”
“It’s training in the water.”
“In the water?”
In the water, because you have to overcome resistance, it takes several times more effort than moving on flat ground. Therefore, if you train in water, you might be able to make it in time, Sir Willen said.
Her mother didn’t hesitate for a moment.
“Then let’s start right away.”
Thanks to her mother’s love for baths, there was a bathtub in the Viscount Berium’s mansion as large as a swimming pool in her previous life.
A whole room had been converted into a bath, and her mother would stay there half a day. It was quite deep too, coming up to my chest.
“That is…….”
But Sir Willen hesitated slightly.
“What are you hesitating for? Let’s start right away.”
At her mother’s insistence, Sir Willen spoke.
“To train underwater, we can’t do it in these clothes.”
“Then what kind of clothes should we wear?”
“The thinnest and lightest ones, covering only the bare minimum of the body.”
“…….”
There was a silence all around.
Sir Willen scratched the back of his head, embarrassed by his own words, her mother cleared her throat a few times, and the attendants held their breath.
Liz was the only one unaffected.
Liz recalled memories from her previous life. Therefore, the clothing that Sir Willen was talking about, covering only the bare minimum of the body, must be a swimsuit.
But in this world, there was no concept of swimsuits, nor had fabric of such material been invented, so it meant they had to train in clothing that was almost like underwear….
“Wouldn’t it be better not to do it? No matter what, that’s a bit….”
But mother thought differently.
“If necessary, we must.”
“……?”
Oh dear mother. Do you want to train your daughter that badly that you’d completely undress her? Do you want to uphold your honor that much?
“Mirabel.”
“……Yes.”
Mirabel’s voice was utterly dejected.
“Pick out some clothes suitable for training.”
“But there are no such clothes.”
“Then you must do it undressed.”
Mirabel surrendered to her mother’s sternness.
“II’ll go look.”
Willen sighed. Even if he was treating Liz as a healer and patient, seeing a young noblewoman in such a nearnaked state was no small burden.
Anyway, as Mirabel hurriedly ran off to find clothing….
She had just rounded the corner when she collided with a pillar and nearly fell backward. Fortunately, the pillar caught her.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
The pillar asked.
“Uh, Kain… You see.”
Mirabel finally calmed her heart and spoke.
“Ah, what I just heard. I’m so astonished that I can’t speak.”
“What did you hear?”
Kain asked again.
“My lady is planning to completely undress the young lady and put her in the water with Sir Willen, or something?”
“……”
“Going so far as to support Miss Lilia’s debut like this, I guess. It’s obvious, isn’t it? She wants to flaunt, ‘I love my two daughters equally.’ But no matter what, putting a lady who has just turned twenty with an outsider man and….”
Mirabel couldn’t speak beyond that.
It was because Kain’s eyes had settled into an unprecedented chill.
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.”
