Soon after, the creature lightly landed and stood next to San.
The wolf, with its silvery-white fur, had jet-black paws as if it were wearing boots, and a luxuriant tail.
And around its neck, it wore a sky-blue handkerchief embroidered with blue flowers, reminiscent of a baby’s bib.
Seeing this, Kang seemed entranced.
The sight of San in his black clothes beside the large silvery beast seemed like a scene from a fantastical fairy tale.
San reached out and petted the creature, which affectionately nuzzled its large head against his chest.
The moonlight pouring from behind them illuminated the scene, making it even more mysterious and beautiful.
“……”
For a moment, she wondered if perhaps she was immersed in a very long dream.
Soon after, a hazy mist surrounded them, and the beast transformed back into Romi.
The handkerchief she wore became human clothing.
Romi looked at Kang and smiled radiantly.
“Nice to meet you, senior. Let’s be close friends from now on.”
Without hesitation, she approached San and nuzzled her head affectionately, just as she did before.
Kang was so startled that she stood frozen, hands hovering in the air.
But Romi, elated, ran around Kang’s spacious home, treating it like a playground.
Upon discovering intriguing objects, she’d sniff them inquisitively.
…What am I witnessing right now?
While San felt human enough for her, seeing a beast transform into a person before her eyes was enough to make her question her current reality.
Seeing the once again flustered Kang, San chuckled softly.
“How do you feel about the girlfriend I introduced?”
“…Huh?”
“Do you like her?”
It was then she realized the friend San spoke of was Romi.
Truly, her mouth wouldn’t close from the utterly unexpected surprise.
However, suddenly, Romi, who jumped to her feet, sniffed the air towards the balcony.
Sniff, sniff.
Catching a scent carried by the wind, she turned her head and said,
“There’s a Mongma nearby! I’ll be right back!”
Then, without giving anyone a chance to stop her, she jumped over the balcony railing.
In an instant, Romi, who disappeared from view, reappeared as a massive beast and began sprinting across the pitch-black night sky.
Watching this, Kang asked,
“…Won’t she quickly get noticed by people moving around like that?”
“When in her beast form, Romi can hide herself at will. Naturally, she won’t be seen by humans.”
“She can detect Mongmas by their scent too?”
The Suins have a well-developed sense of smell. It’s tough with higher-level Mongmas since they’re adept at hiding their presence, but they can detect lower-level Mongmas even from 1km away.”
“And what do they do once they detect them?”
“They kill them.”
“They kill?”
“They’re natural predators.”
The relationship between Suins, who live as divine companions, and Mongmas was like chalk and cheese.
Hearing this, Kang asked,
“Do they eat them?”
“No. They don’t eat them, they just play with their catch.”
One significant doubt arose in her mind.
“But… you’re also a Mongma.”
Hearing her words, he quietly laughed and then replied.
“The only Suin serving a Mongma is Romi.”
“Is that even possible?”
“It happened. There’s a reason.”
“What reason?”
“When Romi was young, she nearly died. I saved her.”
Kang blinked in surprise, to which San commented.
“Ask Romi about that story later. It’s good to have something to talk about when becoming friends.”
A moment later, Romi, appearing on the balcony, returned holding something resembling a ball.
It was hard, surrounded by a black smoky aura.
Romi tossed it to San, then lay down with her front legs stretched out low, her backside raised, and her tail wagging.
She looked like a playful puppy.
When San threw it, Romi, leaping, played with it on the ground.
“What is that?”
“Looks like a Mongma she hunted? Judging by its shape, seems like a head.”
Only then did Kang realize that the round object Romi was playing with resembled a skull, and she turned pale.
Romi, the creature San brought for them to be friends… could she handle it?
While Romi playing with the skull of a Mongma looked like a large dog playing with a toy ball, knowing the reality made the scene eerie for Kang.
Perhaps the eerie appearance of the skull emitting black smoke was reminiscent of something from a horrifying dream.
She turned her stiff neck to look at San.
He sat with his legs crossed, resting his chin on his hand, looking affectionately at Romi.
As if watching the antics of a pet dog.
Feeling Kang’s gaze, San slightly turned his head.
Then he asked,
“Isn’t she cute?”
“…That?”
Answering with a “yes,” he paused before continuing.
“Think of her as my dog and try to get along.”
His smiling face had a hint of pride.
Perhaps he felt gratified by having introduced a friend to her.
Kang felt conflicted.
She wanted to get along with Romi, if only for San’s sake, but she was someone who struggled to mingle even with human women.
Let alone a Suin.
And a Suin who plays with the skull of a Mongma at that!
In the end, she couldn’t give any response to San’s hope for them to become friends.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
