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.1d079b407c14e888

“Anyway, make that smelly creature not catch my eye.”883acecc84c772af

With those words, Zakari db776010a2 disappeared smoothly. I felt unjustly treated e75a9a19fe and glanced at Ayla.169be2e9c59983eb

Am I smelly, 05af74d377 Ayla?ff992aa31d56ff73

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.d624b25cccb3357a

Ayla, after letting out a laugh once, held me tenderly and said, “Now, shall we go? It would be troublesome if you run away again, Chichi.”7222a5654b6320bd

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.0194236c5d835e2e

Thinking about 3017005c61 Rachel, I cc9f46ed1f remembered the 72271c89d1 original work ce1e8abb1e as I 35f3fc4c58 obediently let 7dde67b95d myself be e6632f4dff taken away b7c4ddeea4 by Ayla.f40e009e509d0e28

In the ad74e0f8a2 original work, b97cef364b Rachel was 6269a4a3c1 a character 746284537f who appeared 393eb7c084 several times. She was the cd73f0c204 daughter of the 4470ab4822 leader of the 276e0340aa Honey Possum tribe, f03063f640 which owned the 41d8a1bdf6 most fertile territory ad3cc8b2b1 in the western 828125015e Ilanbore region.76bf8329dae8e16e

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.’bd4bf9dd482118d4

Moreover, she often interfered with Zerakiel’s actions, and when she later learned that Zerakiel was her son, she was quite surprised.168eea5f91a36b6c

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.3fbe8f0e5acd0ab3

On the other 4cef04cd41 hand, Zakari seemed ac57455f3c to have a c849b1041c glass mental state. Compared to the 13cfb212aa fiery temperament of 1b8742afae Rachel, he was 7450eb0c44 the complete opposite.3316433249b2feaa

I stood on tiptoe 64214c6717 in front of the 662d7b5ca1 window, hoping to see 0edc82de15 if there was any 6aad27098b approaching carriage. The city of Jabisi e858757e3a was much larger than faf74f9584 I had imagined. The warehouse 3cebb575a8 that Bianco aafa30e3e0 and I 69c9edbb71 had raided 9965c48173 now looked 8713772294 like a d6a8c74488 speck of e97a21ac7c dust.9a5a4944996b6be1
