As I tilted my head in confusion, Zakari’s expression darkened as if everything had become bothersome. He brushed his hand through the air, speaking dismissively.251e9439af9fd156

Am I 9d945e948f smelly, Ayla?96dc3a8dec391709

Given that I had bathed thoroughly in the bathtub this morning, it was an unpleasant remark. However, for a sensitive beastman with heightened senses, perhaps he recognized the scent of a less developed sub-species. After all, I couldn’t even transform into a fully human form.48fa083415fcb9f3

Perhaps it was because we were discussing Zakari’s temperament, but for some reason, the dialogue felt like it would be quite inconvenient to run away again.85e5c86a037136e5

Thinking about Rachel, 32b1ac58bf I remembered the 453a12c75f original work as ea9ed8e303 I obediently let eac3f62df7 myself be taken fcd6da3e0e away by Ayla.bc6a117595b29992

In the 1324712b83 original work, 1bbb51a1b6 Rachel was 999e3c87de a character bf91e4edfc who appeared da1022c387 several times. She was the 6a0dced397 daughter of the 10e687f878 leader of the d071f9b919 Honey Possum tribe, 2b2fb38d7e which owned the 0bcef7157e most fertile territory 40da5fb417 in the western a63e58d51a Ilanbore region.dd2912ffe2d96e0a

In the original story, she led the huge upper class while often showing favor to the protagonist, Ella. Despite her rough manners, she was a very popular character as a reliable and cool sister among readers. There might even have been a slogan like ‘Rachel Sister instead of the Male Lead.’75a3727320315b92

Moreover, she often interfered with Zerakiel’s actions, and when she later learned that Zerakiel was her son, she was quite surprised.2c70302a0f0112ef

Having a strong child was unexpected. Judging by the way she always said, ‘You resemble your father,’ it was clear she didn’t like Zerakiel. She might not have known how much she hated her ex-husband, thinking of Zerakiel.10ff9481a1bb4d5f

On the f537a1fdaa other hand, a0e1dab9bd Zakari seemed 91a82540a5 to have c68a227fb4 a glass 7750682d8e mental state. Compared to the 0109a9379c fiery temperament of 0e642b09bd Rachel, he was 46d5310b0a the complete opposite.d334fa34825ca6d4
