His skin bulged where the flesh under his feathers trembled visibly. What’s going on? Haniel looked at Nasir, who had started trembling with the appearance of someone enduring pain, now positioned at a distance from her.
His skin bulged where the flesh under his feathers trembled visibly.
The massive wings on his back were also flapping as if having convulsions.
Haniel, her face pale at the sight that could hardly be considered normal, called out to Nasir.
“Nasir, are you okay?”
“…Haniel. I, I…”
“!”
Just as Nasir was about to explain something.
POOF!
“W-whaaaat?!”
With a bursting sound, a thick cloud of dust rose and engulfed Nasir’s body at once.
Haniel coughed, covering her nose and mouth.
It wasn’t dust but some strange smoke with an unusual glow.
“Nasir? Nasir!”
Haniel shouted his name at the top of her lungs, veins standing out on her neck.
Could it be a problem with the status window? Was having relations with her the mistake?
While her mind was in confusion with all sorts of thoughts, the smoke dispersed in the wind and a very familiar sound was heard from in front.
Pyorong!
“Huh?”
And from the dispersed smoke, a very familiar giant bird appeared.
| Nasir (Saedol) |
“…Nasir?”
…Kaeeaek!
A blue bird the size of a house. Saedol… no, Nasir, who had returned to his original form.
Haniel gave a hollow laugh, feeling the tension suddenly release. Only now did she remember that she was looking for him n*ked with her skin wet with bodily fl*ids, and she found her disheveled appearance suddenly ridiculous.
‘So that’s what the status window message meant.’
All that talk about shape transformation and whatnot, it was still in an incomplete state.
“You’ve turned back into a bird.”
Haniel looked up at the bird that was taller than her, placing her hands on her hips.
Nasir, who had been blinking stupidly as if he couldn’t understand the situation, opened his beak as if to say something.
Kaeeaek! Pyorororong! Pyorong!
But what came out was not a human voice, but bird calls that sounded like singing.
‘This can’t be happening.’
Sensing something, Nasir raised his two pairs of wings and fluttered them while examining his own body, then clicked his beak as if grinding his teeth.
His transformation had been undone. The shape-shifting magic he had used to take a form similar to his mate Haniel had been unstable.
‘Of all times…’
He couldn’t even communicate properly.
Kaeeaek! Kaeeaek!
Nasir, unable to overcome his frustration, screamed in a frenzy. He looked like a pterosaur.
A descendant of ancient life forms. Majestic and beautiful, but it seemed like he could swallow her in one bite, giving her a bird phobia she never had before.
Haniel stepped back hesitantly.
“Um, listen… you’re scaring me, so please don’t shout like that…”
Kaeeaek?!
“Huh? Sorry. You’re absolutely not scary. I mean… well, humans use that expression even when something is too pretty or beautiful, you know? We say ‘scary.’ Really. It’s not that you’re terrifying, but that even in this form you’re… well, quite majestic and beautiful.”
Nasir, whose rampaging reminded Haniel of a bird with avian influenza, gradually began to calm down with her somewhat servile flattery and stroking, as always.
It was quite comical to be stroking a giant blue bird with two pairs of wings much larger than her own body while n*ked. But thanks to his mate Haniel, Nasir’s frustration subsided somewhat, and he soon returned to being the noble and elegant ruler of the sky that he originally was.
Peeee…
“So that’s a sound you can make even when you’re feeling bad.”
Haniel said calmly while stroking his feathers.
Nasir could only hang his head dejectedly under her touch.
‘D*mn it, what a mess… I was in such a hurry that I had *ntercourse first and couldn’t even properly convey what I wanted to say!’
Originally, his primary purpose in visiting Haniel was to warn her about the situation in this forest.
About the presence of strangers roaming the Nightmare Forest, and the suddenly unsettling atmosphere of the forest lately.
But who would have thought that his shape-shifting magic, which he believed was perfect, would fail like this?
Because of that, he couldn’t even communicate properly.
Nasir raised his gaze to look at Haniel.
Without wings. With nothing but a tenacity that seemed unbelievable for such a small body, how could his mate fearlessly roam the forest in all directions?
Nasir sometimes felt his insides burning black with worry at the thought that Haniel might die while he was away.
No matter how much all the flora and fauna of the forest loved her… there was always the possibility of something going wrong.
Pirooong…
Nasir heaved a deep sigh.
“Birds can sigh too?”
‘You’re the one making carefree remarks.’
Still, having drained her energy through this mating, maybe she would wander around less for a while. That’s all he could hope for.
The day after tomorrow. No, it seemed better to properly refine his shape-shifting technique and visit her again by tomorrow.
‘I should find out if there’s anything more I can do. That Hume male also concerns me.’
As a husband, protecting his wife was both his duty and joy. Including removing annoying leeches.
Nasir finally extended his head and lightly pecked at the berry-like n*pple at the tip of Haniel’s modest br*ast.
“Ouch.”
It didn’t hurt, but… Haniel instinctively covered her br*ast, momentarily afraid that her n*pple would be torn off by that alligator-like beak.
The moment she removed her hand from Nasir’s feathers, he rubbed his beak on top of Haniel’s head as if giving a brief farewell.
Peeee.
“Nasir?”
Flap!
Then he spread his two pairs of massive wings and rose into the air.
Wings so massive that for a moment the sky seemed to darken.
Is he leaving? Haniel looked up at Nasir with a bewildered expression.
With each wave of his wings, her hair fluttered ceaselessly.
“Are you leaving?!”
Pirororong!
Perhaps he meant he would return soon.
After taking one last look at his mate, Nasir rose high into the sky with a “Peek!” sound.
And just as suddenly as he had arrived, he flew away and disappeared beyond the territory’s boundary.
Haniel shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand as she searched for his distant shadow.
“He’s so huge…”
He was gone.
Haniel scratched her cheek.
Whether he had some urgent business or not, she couldn’t help feeling empty inside when he left so suddenly again…
After giving a momentary bitter smile, Haniel turned her gaze to look at the status window.
| Current Vitality: 475 |
A sentence that made her heart feel generous and abundant just by looking at it, as if her stomach was full and her storehouse overflowing.
This was what instantly provided a more powerful effect than any stimulant to her exhausted body and mind.
“Great!”
Haniel firmly grasped the hoe handle that had fallen nearby.
“Now I just need to expand the house!”
A better house. A more splendid nest. Haniel burned with the enthusiasm of “my house, my improvement.”
This was precisely the scene that would have greatly dismayed Nasir had he seen it… but he was already gone.
Unable to even guess what her first bird friend in this place had wanted to convey when rubbing his beak against her, Haniel diligently washed herself at the water tap and changed her clothes.
Time to work!
