Her wrist was swollen as if it had been twisted, making it difficult to rise.
Instead of reaching out his hand, Hae-mi casually extended the tip of the scythe he was holding.
Although his face looked terrifying enough to believe he might be the king of ghosts, it was clear that he was a celestial being.
Feeling unexpectedly warm-hearted, Romie, holding the handle with both hands, bravely stood up.
Then, she asked Hae-mi.
“But how did you find out, Master?”
“I came on a business trip.”
“What?”
“Seolseong, did your master not return to Heaven with your owner? I came as a substitute.”
“Ah…”
“Anyway, I’ll handle the investigation of those guys, so you go to the vessel.”
“The vessel?”
“The human woman who eats dreams that your owner knows.”
“Ah, yes! Then, please take care of it.”
Before the greetings were even over, Hae-mi left his seat.
Romie, wearing a pressed hat, returned, holding her side with a limp.
Kang, who saw her, rushed over.
“Romie!”
“Sister…”
The face seen up close was even more messed up.
“What happened!”
“Well, it’s nothing much…”
“Hold on a bit; I’ll call an ambulance right away!”
Instead of asking for detailed information about the incident, she picked up her phone.
But Romie held her arm and lowered her head.
“No. Please take me home. It’s safer there.”
“You need treatment for your injuries.”
“Mermaids recover faster than humans, so I’ll be fine. So, please just take me home.”
“Still…”
“I’m begging you.”
After a moment of hesitation, Kang eventually supported her and took her home.
After laying Romie on the bed, Kang carefully wiped away the scraped and bruised areas, then applied ointment.
Once she found some stability, Kang finally asked about the situation.
“How did this happen?”
“Well… it’s not a big deal, so don’t worry.”
Romie looked puzzled about how to tell Kang about Jane being a Mongma.
Although she had heard that they were quite close from the mountain, revealing the truth might cause Kang too much distress.
But Kang, sensing something, brought up the topic first.
“Jane made you like this, right?”
“Ah, well…”
Surprised, Romie hesitated, then reluctantly confessed.
Kang nodded as if he had expected it.
“It was a Mongma after all.”
Even though it was something he anticipated, it didn’t mean he wasn’t disappointed.
As always, he just accepted it.
She hid her disappointment and devoted herself to taking care of Romie.
…
Mountain returned earlier than expected.
However, as fast as he returned, unfortunately, there was no harvest.
To Soonyu, he could only get the answer that she was still in the midst of research, and the change in Kang’s body condition only returned predictable answers indicating the completion of fusion.
The exact details would probably take another month in human world time.
With a mention that she would return to her normal schedule tomorrow due to the unnecessary three-day leave, he returned the next day.
The moment he contacted Kang upon arrival, there was no response.
When he contacted Samyoung, the reply was that she was in the middle of shooting.
Mountain called Romie.
All morning, she had faithfully guarded Kang’s side on set, and she quickly revealed herself at the call of her owner.
“Master!”
Appearing as a mermaid, Romie slapped her cheek against the hem of his clothes before collapsing.
Mountain habitually touched her belly, and sensing the energy of scars near her side, he asked, “Are you hurt?”
“Yes. I was, but it’s almost healed now. It doesn’t hurt at all even when I move like this.”
She lay down with a swish, moving her body left and right like a salmon flipping.
Then he soon heard from Romie about what had happened.
“As expected.”
The fact that Jane was a Mongma wasn’t surprising. What troubled him more was the news that Hae-mi came as a substitute for Seolseong. When he heard that, he felt a chill down his spine as if his gallbladder was freezing.
“There’s no need for a meeting. The answer is to kill and eliminate the hybrid. We’ll execute him immediately upon your command.”
The one who grinned like a ghost, promising to execute him anytime, was the same person who had been appearing around Kang recently, watching him.
“I tried to confirm his face. But!”
“……”
“But!”
“But?”
“……In the end, I couldn’t even touch a hair of him.”
Romie, telling the story in this way, had a dead expression full of frustration. Through this battle, she objectively assessed her skills as a mermaid. Given that the Mongmas she had faced so far were among the lowest classes, even in the lower ranks without proper language skills and limbs, it was like suddenly being thrown from playing with minnows in the neighborhood stream into a fight with sharks in the vast ocean.
Mountain silently looked at her, then reached out his hand.
He gently stroked Romie’s head with his large hand.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
In response, she raised her head.
“No. Mermaids are originally meant to protect their owners and be their right arms… I…”
“You’re my clone.”
“…What?”
“Like family.”
Mountain spoke like that and smiled a little.
“You’re doing well enough.”
Romie’s large eyes, which had been tearful, sparkled even more brightly, filled with admiration. Instead of realizing that she needed to improve her skills through disappointment, she gained a much stronger incentive.
Romie made a vow in her heart.
If the moment came when she had to sacrifice her life, it would be for Mountain.
She pushed back her heavy heart and gently pushed his back.
“Hurry and go to your sister. Even if she doesn’t show it, she must be deeply worried.”
However, Mountain seemed a bit hesitant and opened his mouth as if he was troubled.
“Human… No, how does a woman gain strength through a certain type of comfort?”
“Are you worried?”
Of course, he was worried.
He opened his mouth again, seeming a bit awkward.
“I’m just not very experienced in that area.”
At that, Romie stepped forward and spoke with a rather professional tone.
“Let me tell you…”
“There’s a good way to comfort a woman regardless of the race.”
“What is it?”
When Mountain asked, she squinted her eyes with confidence and said, “A kiss.”
His expression tightened.
“Not the kind you want.”
“Oops, got caught. Hehe.”
Romie laughed brightly.
Mountain, who had been watching her without malice, sent Romie away as he decided to go meet Kang.
He received a message from Kang, who confirmed his absence, saying he was almost home.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
