“I’ve caused you trouble.”

The man who had been biting and sucking on Haniel for quite some time got up with sudden awareness when she told him to get up now.

And surprisingly, he… took care of Haniel’s disheveled body as she panted and tidied up the surroundings.

As if it were his natural duty.

Sitting neatly in a formal position, the man said:

“My name is ‘Regan’.”

‘What’s this? Don’t suddenly act so polite!’

This man called Regan was quite polite for a ruffian. That is, for a ruffian.

“……”

Regan politely drank the tea Haniel had brought.

The man, now properly visible under the brightly lit light, was certainly too tall and large in build to be considered human, though not as much as she had felt on the bed.

A beast. Or a man like a well-honed sword.

Despite his proper sitting posture and polite speech, such an atmosphere emanated strongly from him… Haniel thought.

An atmosphere suggesting he would resolutely cut down anything that didn’t match his clear standards without much deliberation.

If it weren’t for the faint smell of bodily fl*ids still lingering in the room, and if it weren’t for his still-flushed face, it would have been hard to believe that this man was the one who had licked between her thighs in the middle of the night.

……Between her thighs.

The man’s jawline was as neat as if it had been carved. Haniel blinked her eyes rapidly, unable to believe that it had been buried between her genitals until just a moment ago.

“Um, I……”

‘No, wait. Should I use formal speech?’

To you?

You’re the one who came in at night and did that to me, even after I treated your wounds?

But somehow, she hesitated to speak casually… because the man’s silent and noble atmosphere made him seem like someone far above her, and he seemed accustomed to being treated that way by others.

As Haniel hesitated, Regan spoke.

“Please speak comfortably.”

“Oh, really? Then I’ll speak comfortably.”

“……”

Regan blinked. Haniel awkwardly pursed her lips and said quietly,

“I’m Haniel.”

It was the first time she was introducing herself to a person in this world.

Regan rolled that name on his lips several times.

‘Haniel.’

A name with a somewhat unfamiliar feel.

But it didn’t feel alien or unpleasant. Not at all.

Rather, the feeling of it rolling in his mouth was soft like flower petals, and it felt as lovely as its owner…

It was a name he wanted to call repeatedly.

“…I see, Haniel.”

Regan laughed inwardly.

‘I’m not in my right mind because of the mating season.’

For him, Regan of all people, to think ‘it feels lovely’ and ‘want to call it repeatedly.’

Could there be a more ridiculous farce?

…Regan’s mating season was not over yet.

He had momentarily subdued the heat for now, but a mating season was not something that could be ended so simply.

And from the looks of it, still now, Regan’s entire body and all his senses seemed to be screaming at him to make this woman, this Haniel, his female.

Hoo. Pressing his temple, he deliberately glared at Haniel with a fierce gaze.

Though he had let it slide earlier, he absolutely needed to hear the whole story.

Why he had been forced into a mating season.

An explanation about whether Haniel had conspired to target his body and family.

“First, an explanation seems necessary.”

Haniel, who flinched at the icy voice, furrowed her brow.

“No, wait……”

“What is it?”

“Are you seriously demanding that I explain first?”

Regan stared at her blankly.

“Yes, I am.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

She jumped up from her chair.

Even standing, there wasn’t much difference in eye level with the seated Regan, but she met his eyes with momentum and spoke through clenched teeth.

“This is truly absurd. There’s a limit to ingratitude.”

“……”

“Regan, was it? Shouldn’t you be explaining what you just did to me?”

Haniel placed both hands on the table and thr*st her head toward Regan in a somewhat threatening manner.

Small teeth revealed between her shapely lips.

Regan, who had been unable to take his eyes off that sight as if entranced, slightly parted his lips as Haniel’s scent suddenly hit him with the decreased distance.

Taking his expression as one of confusion, she thr*st her head even more threateningly and whispered quietly.

“Don’t be ridiculous. This is my house, and no matter what anyone says, you were the one who tried to enter my territory first.”

“……”

“I found you collapsed and bleeding near my house, brought you in and treated you, and then you came to me in the middle of the night and tried to se-, s*x-, forcibly *ssault me? And you’re telling me to explain first? Huh? Are you joking…?”

Haniel’s eyes blazed with rare fighting spirit.

She was right. Judging by the marks left around at that time, it was Regan who first tried to enter Haniel’s precious territory, her home.

Taking him in from the forest where who knows what might have been lurking, treating him, feeding him, washing him.

Of course, there was the incident where she fed this man a potion meant for humans like herself, causing an abnormal reaction in him… but d*mn, she almost ended up mixing bodies with him too, and this kind of outrageous talk was acceptable? It was unacceptable.

‘No matter how handsome he is. Huh?’

And not just handsome, but so exquisitely handsome that he would never be forgotten in memory!

If grandchildren a hundred years later were to ask, ‘Grandma, who’s the most handsome man you’ve ever seen?’ the words ‘Well, about a hundred years ago in the forest…’ would immediately spring forth!

There were no clothes big enough for the man to wear, so he was loosely wearing Haniel’s clothes, and fierce chest muscles were popping out between the ties making their presence known!

And though it was hard to take her eyes off him because of that!

Wrong is wrong.

But Regan, who had been staring at her intensely with eyes whose intentions she couldn’t guess, simply closed his eyes tightly.

After taking several breaths, he blurted out as if he couldn’t bear it anymore.

“You don’t need to, flaunt yourself, I understand well enough, so please stop.”

“What?”

As Haniel opened her eyes wide, Regan spoke through gritted teeth.

“I understand well enough that you are an exceptional female, so you can stop flaunting yourself.”

“……?”

Haniel’s aggressive face went blank.

What… is he saying?

Flaunting? What flaunting? What female…?

Countless question marks floated in her suddenly empty mind.

‘What nonsense is this?’

But Regan’s Adam’s apple, which had uttered incomprehensible words, was protruding as if enduring something.

“What… what? Huh? Wha-, what are you saying? What am I, what am I……”

“Haah.”

It happened in an instant.

Whoosh!

“!”

Regan suddenly pulled Haniel close and buried his head in the side of her neck.

As if he intended to cut off his prey’s breath.

“Hieek?!”

And just like that, he opened his mouth and licked between her neck and shoulder, eagerly nibbling at it.

Caught in the blink of an eye, Haniel froze still like a snack caught by a beast.

Sniff, sniff. Hwoook.

The various hormones and female-specific scent emanating from her body.

…When Haniel had met his eyes and scolded him earlier, Regan had almost *jaculated.

Those golden eyes that seemed to be sparking with fire and this increasingly strong scent had come at him so stimulatingly that thought became impossible…

Heuut. After deeply inhaling the incomparably sweet scent and smell of flesh one last time, Regan asked in a deep voice.

“Otherwise, are you planning to stimulate me again?”

Shake, shake. Haniel shook her head vigorously.

“N-no. Really no.”

Whatever it was, the action she had taken to threaten this man seemed to have come across not as a threat… but as a kind of seduction.

Having instinctively realized this, Haniel suddenly calmed down.

She had no desire to become a s*x toy again so soon.

“Not at all. Absolutely not.”

Perhaps displeased by Haniel’s strong denial, Regan narrowed his eyes and slowly released her.
