esier ponon cast a sidelong glance at
Jang Mansion realizing he had indeed
chosen an excellent local now that she
had deciphered her whereabouts she felt
a modicum of relief she had heard
legends that 5,000 years ago there were
powerful beings who emerged from the
Abyssal sea the figure she had glimpsed
was merely a fleeting Shadow lacking
concrete evidence even though he had
garnered some Renown on the continent
many remained skeptical with some
outright claiming he was hallucinating
especially after many adventurous Souls
from various Realms ventured into the
Abyssal sea and never returned the
legend was met with derision yet gonon
believed that perhaps the legend held
some truth if it were not true she
intended to embody that very Legend giu
tontion considered herself fortunate not
to have been slain immediately but
rather regarded as a pet by the maiden
which opened up infinite possibilities
and the chance to escape the Abyssal sea
the first step was to follow the maiden
earn her favor and continue to survive
the Second Step involved understanding
the Abyssal sea. for what lay ahead she
would need to devise a plan as
circumstances evolved having organized
her thoughts gonon led the two little
creatures into the tent to sleep the
maiden had instructed her to rest and
had not expressly forbidden her from
sleeping in the tent had she there was
no comparison between the comfort of a
tent and that of a chair once ins sconed
within the tent the maiden's tightly
shut eyes cracked open slightly seeing
her favored pet behaving obedient ly and
in compliance the maiden couldn't help
but smile however upon noticing Jang

maiden when the tent swayed gently she
quickly opened her eyes sprang up and
poked her head out of the tent only to
find the maiden curiously prodding at
her tent dantan yawned and greeted my
esteemed Maiden the maiden delighted to
see her cherished pet yawn while still
seeking her affection found it utterly
adorable internally exclaiming with joy
as her hand instinctively reached out to
stroke gu Tintin's hair
gonon do what a familiar scene this was
precisely the action she observed every
morning when witnessing the little mouse
and highing yawning in a moment of
empathy she realized that just moments
ago she had mirrored highing who would
always meow at her first before yawning
and stretching it truly was rather
endearing inviting to touch the maiden's
hand having stroked her head seemed to
unlock a new realm of experience as she
then ventured to caress gu Tintin's
cheek with her sharp claws retracted she
cautiously used her fingertips to feel
the delicate warmth of her skin for for
reasons unknown the maiden suddenly
recoiled as if scalded hastily
withdrawing her hand she murmured this
dot is warm gonon however was startled
by the maiden's touch which felt cold
and rough akin to being brushed by a
chicken foot freshly retrieved from the
refrigerator poor Maiden having lived in
the sea had only ever encountered icy
entities all sea creatures were Frid how
could she have ever experienced such a
sensation guon tion had already grown
accustomed to her new identity
expressionless as she nodded indeed my
lady I am of a constant temperature she
was at a loss as to how to explain the
