Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ari: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

He mumbled in hesitation, trembling as if he was about to cry, "A-Ari, I—never mind, go ahead. My sister is already waiting for you inside." I responded in a low voice, "Hmm. Let's talk about it when you're ready, okay?" He squeezed my hand before letting go. I turned around despite my hesitation and curiosity. I can't force him to speak up if he's not even ready to open up. I was just happy that he was already cured of his illness. I didn't know that my power could heal their existing illness. I only took a quick bath and changed my clothes with Tora's help. I was still perplexed as to what Macan was thinking, but he was too busy cleaning up to talk about it. He was used to keeping everything in because he was unable to communicate for a long time. After refreshing, I realized it was past noon, so they probably had their lunch. I wanted to eat with them, but my stomach was already grumbling from hunger—I wouldn't be able to wait until dinner time. Just right after we managed to g

I expected everyone to feel disappointed upon hearing what I really felt and thought from the start. I knew I might hurt them, and the same goes for myself, but I have to be honest with everyone at all costs because I have to straighten things up. I don't want to regret things in my current life anymore. I don't want to have any other burden before fighting an impossible battle. I focused on informing everyone about what happened during my absence, then burst into tears, asked for forgiveness, and told them I was initially tempted to go back to the place I used to live in my previous life. I told them everything on my mind without looking at them, fearing the sight of even a slight disappointment in their reaction. Everyone became silent for a moment as we sat in front of the table, which was stacked high with various delicacies cooked by their combined efforts—dishes I had taught them throughout our tour. The aroma of ham glazed with honey, roasted duck, steamed buns, and dumplings

We were stocked on top of the tree while vigilantly watching the movements of the Sirens surrounding the area. We had to mask our presence, especially mine and Tora's, to prevent them from spotting us. In the Beastman World, Sirens were similar to the half-human, half-fish mythological creatures we called mermaids in my previous life, but their aggressive forms were quite monstrous compared to the mermaids I knew. According to the elders, their passive forms were undoubtedly the most attractive for any female. They look human with beautifully colored scales surrounding some parts of their body—scales that cover up their private body parts, creating the illusion of a piece of clothing. Their eyes resemble the colors of different types of pearls and gems. The colors of their scales were vibrant and beautiful. Their hair was long and could sometimes be mistaken for that of a female. They have buffed bodies and extremely irresistible scents, at least for females. Their passive-aggressiv

She vanished after uttering those words. I was baffled, but I unconsciously followed as I turned around, despite seeing the shocked look on Macan and my brother's faces. I ran towards the end of the huge branch, flapping my wings, and took a leap. I could hear my brother and Macan's voices calling out my name, but I still dashed toward the direction of the ocean. At a distance, I can see a flock of Sirens who suddenly stopped singing upon sensing my presence. They bowed down to me as I landed in front of them without letting go of the females whom they held captive. My tears were still drenched from crying, and my voice was trembling as I shouted at them, "I'm here! It's me w-who you were c-calling. Let them go! Let them all go!" One of the Sirens stood up and transformed into his passive form. His eyes and scales glisten like the stars and the sand on the ground. I couldn't tell the exact color of his hair and eyes due to the darkness surrounding the night. He reached out to me,

[Flashback] One day, while we were playing with shells and pearls and chatting nonstop inside the secret room, we suddenly overheard his father's voice. We had no choice but to keep quiet and listen to their meeting. We were both stunned upon hearing the agenda of their meeting. It was an emergency regarding an attack, which they had been planning for a long time—his father, Iravan, the ruler of the ocean, whose ranking was just below my father, was planning an attack on him. Dylan was trembling and told me he didn't know anything defensively. He asked me to stay still until we could sneak out safely and go back to Nirvana. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel, but I felt that he was telling the truth. I remained silent and felt worried for my father. I felt a cold sweat while listening to their words, but Dylan hugged me and covered my ears. We were both trembling, but he tried his best to calm down. He managed to safely bring me back to Nirvana immediately after the meeting
