How did things come to this?
The woman who had resolved to die, intending to jump from the top of the tower, and the man who had gone to rest at the top of the tower and unexpectedly ended up leading an unknown lady’s hand, were both thinking the same thing.
During this, Riley, who had been led by Gibnen’s hand, couldn’t suppress her irritation and asked.
“……Excuse me, where are we going now?”
To Riley’s question, Gibnen replied indifferently without even looking at her face.
“The hotel.”
“……What?”
“Staying here after making such a bold assertion to Earl Ermeintz would be strange, wouldn’t it?”
“That’s true, but the reception isn’t over yet…… Is it alright to leave our seats?”
“It’s better now that an excuse to flee has come up. Wait here for a moment; I’ll go get our clothes.”
Gibnen briefly left Riley at the door of his office and went in to grab their coats. He also picked up an additional overcoat, and then began writing something on a piece of paper and left it on his desk.
It was a message for Salk, who would soon be frantically looking for him.
Coming out of the room, he draped the overcoat over Riley’s exposed shoulders.
“It’s cold outside, wear this for now. It’s better than going out bare.”
Then he reached out to the teleportation device, injecting mana, and they were instantly down in the central hall of the first floor. He then began to walk boldly across the hall.
Riley, with his very conspicuous and bold stride, lost her words and just stared at the back of his head.
‘What on earth is he thinking?’
All eyes were on his brazen display, leading an unknown woman by the hand.
There wasn’t a fool who didn’t know what it meant for the star of this reception to openly lead an unknown woman out.
Riley, frightened by the many stares, looked down at the floor, overwhelmed by attention she had never felt before.
If he wanted to show a showy display to Earl Ermeintz, he could have left the party quietly and discreetly. Yet he chose to do it like this.
But why?
Not a single hiccup in his motion, even as they left the party to board the latest model floating stone carriage.
“Where to, Master?”
As soon as they boarded the floating stone carriage, the driver casually asked. Gibnen, who was nonchalantly looking out of the window at the noisy party, calmly said.
“To Ingsignia.”
“Understood.”
This was a major accident, one that would be recorded and then some. And yet the man who had caused this major accident was overly relaxed.
Completely indifferent to the affairs of others, with not a hint of concern or worry on her face, Riley was at a loss for words. She wanted to ask something, but it was stuck in her throat, unable to escape.
Was it because the situation was too absurd that she was at a loss for words, or because she felt a sense of discomfort in the cool, yet somehow aloof atmosphere of the gentleman?
It wasn’t until they arrived at the entrance of ‘Ingsinia,’ the topclass hotel within Blestige, in a floating stone carriage that carried them, that she spoke.
(This is a time delimiter.)
Hotel Ingsinia.
As part of the business expansion of Matop Horizon, this hotel was staffed entirely by magicians capable of using magic. It was a stateoftheart, topclass hotel equipped with the latest magical tools developed by Matop Horizon and other magical tool manufacturers.
Riley was dizzy from the overwhelming grandeur of the hotel right from the entrance.
‘How did I end up here…….’
Just an hour ago, she had been thinking of jumping off the top of the Matop, and now she found herself in such a topclass hotel. And with an enormous man, the size of a Matop owner, no less.
“Welcome, Master. It’s been a while.”
“Is everything ready?”
“It’s all prepared for immediate use. Please come this way.”
The middleaged man who took over the guidance had a manager’s title on his name tag. Behind him, the staff lined up to welcome Gibnen’s visit.
It was a very overwhelming production, but Gibnen seemed very accustomed to the situation and moved without hesitation.
Taking the latest teleportation device to the royal room on the top floor, he entered, taking off his overcoat like a householder.
As he removed his overcoat, it floated just before hitting the ground and flew to a hanger where it was neatly arranged. At the same time, a basket with a bathrobe and towels moved to a shelf in front of the bathroom, and the sound of water being drawn was heard in the bathtub.
Despite Gibnen doing nothing in particular, everything was proceeding smoothly. Riley’s eyes widened in surprise, but she managed to keep a straight face, not giving herself away. There was no need to make it obvious she was from the rural outskirts.
“Lady first?”
He gestured towards the bathroom. Riley, realizing what he meant, felt her forehead growing hot and quickly shook her head.
“Nno, you go first.”
“Alright.”
He paused for a moment as he headed into the bathroom, then spoke to the air.
“Can you help our guest change comfortably?”
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.”
