This nap, Herbert did not sleep for long.
He naturally awoke an hour later, feeling full of strength throughout his body.
This feeling of excellent bodily state was different, even his spirit was unprecedentedly full.
He was filled with power!
Feeling like he could knock Valentina out with one punch—
Well, although he knew in his heart he definitely couldn't beat her, it was this kind of invincible feeling without regard for others that he was after.
Inflated with confidence!
Over-inflated Herbert turned his head, looking at Fremay who was sitting beside him, plucking the harp, and slowly nodded: "Fremay."
"Hmm?"
The Sea Siren turned her head at his words, looking at his refreshed face, laughed softly, with a slightly teasing expression, she joked:
"You're awake, huh? I thought you'd sleep a bit longer! Too bad I couldn't let you see your own sleeping face, what a pity."
"If I didn't know it was you, I would've thought it was so kid~ hehe."
As she recalled Herbert's obedient deanor while asleep, she couldn't help but laugh.
Herbert usually showcased so much confidence before her, even exuding a sinister charm that sotis felt flamboyantly sharp.
Such traits indeed attracted Fremay's attention, but sotis they also made her feel a bit uneasy.
But once Herbert quieted down, it gave Fremay a different kind of feeling, appearing gentle, even sowhat vulnerable.
Really quite adorable.
Seizing this rare opportunity for observation, the rmaid had many novel discoveries.
Though Herbert's facial features were sowhat girlish, his physique was sturdier than it appeared, and his pectoral muscles had quite a springy texture.
Oh, she didn't purposely look, you know!
It was just during the process of pulling him out of the water, she accidentally tugged at his clothes, causing his shirt to pull open.
Yes, it was all accidental!
Besides, Fremay had already helped him tidy up his clothes, so no one would ever know about these things.
Mm-hmm, absolutely foolproof!
Herbert didn't know what the shrimp-headed sea siren had just done to him, otherwise he surely would've teased her with a few remarks.
And Harmonious God saw it but, finding it amusing, didn't ntion it at the mont, planning to use it as a trump card at an interesting timing in the future…
Like—Miss rmaid, wouldn't you not want him to know what you secretly did to him?
Thinking about such things is really quite amusing!
But what Fremay didn't expect was Herbert, upon waking up, didn't express gratitude, but instead kept staring at the legs she transford.
Staring—
"Wh, what's wrong?"
She was already sowhat unaccustod to the transford legs, and at this frank gaze, she coyly curled up a bit.
Those legs seed to extend from a beautiful environnt, long and uniquely attractive.
Though obviously human in prototype, there were still lingering non-human traits, so colorful scales adorned like carefully inlaid gemstones on the fair skin.
But perhaps due to the nature of fish tails, the transford thighs appeared plump, seemingly perfect for wrapping in black silk...
And Herbert, after gazing at Fremay's legs for so ti, nodded, looked into her eyes, and said solemnly:
"You… change them back!"
"???"
Fremay, initially sowhat nervous believing she had changed wrong, couldn't help but roll her eyes upon seeing Herbert's expression.
You're crazy!
"I won't change them back!"
She worked hard to transform, and now you're telling to change back… no way!
Hmph!
Herbert's expression relaxed, leaning closer to her and exclaid:
"But! But! I think your tail was already so beautiful, why bother transforming into human legs!"
Is a rmaid still a rmaid if they turn human?
I want the fish tail! Want the fish tail!
Are you doubting my purity!? Although the fish tail you retain pleases , I feel the tail still holds more allure to .
"Hmph."
Fremay snorted, said sullenly: "The fish tail is beautiful, but it won't let go outdoors!"
Hmm?
Herbert blinked rapidly, his montum suddenly dropping, he ekly muttered: "Hmm? You knew?"
"Knew what?"
The rmaid glanced at him sideways, said coldly: "After you left, the breathing sound from Area One was also gone! And not long after she returned, so did you."
"Need any further explanation? She went out with you, didn't she? Haha."
She coldly laughed twice at Herbert.
Let's see now what else you have to explain?
"Actually, you've misunderstood, things aren't as you think…"
"Hmm?"
"…Hmm."
Herbert ultimately gave up explaining, hung his head and quietly glanced to the side.
Oh well.
Got caught.
Though he didn't actually do anything guilty, it still felt like being busted in bed.
Really a peculiar feeling!
And amidst slight embarrassnt, Herbert also understood why Fremay wanted to exert effort to transform a pair of human legs.
She wanted to go outside with Herbert.
Although she had little fondness for the prison warden belonging to the monastery, each ti newcors arrived she wanted to teach them a lesson.
Yet, Fremay was among the few prisoners who didn't feel pressured being detained here.
Due to Fremay's unique abilities, she already had no lingering attachnt to the outside world, staying here and being outside felt equally lonely to her.
But after eting Herbert, her ideas quietly began to change.
Especially after Herbert left with Valentina, she found herself longing for the outside world again after many years.
Fremay wanted to leave here, go to the outside world with Herbert.
But she also knew, looking like this wasn't convenient for going out.
Herbert couldn't always push a fish tank around, she also couldn't rely on water elents to float in mid-air constantly, that would surely draw attention from others.
And after so contemplation, Fremay finally decided—to transform a pair of legs capable of freely walking.
With these legs, although her strength might be sowhat suppressed, she could freely be beside Herbert.
"..."
Herbert realized Fremay's well-intentioned efforts.
He remained silent for a while, turned back, knelt on one knee before her legs, and softly said: "Can I touch them?"
"..."
Fremay hesitated for a mont but still extended her right leg before Herbert's eyes, softly cautioned: "…Be gentle, don't use force, they're still fragile."
Herbert nodded, then slowly reached out with both hands.
"Hmm, don't worry."
