Our Anna, oblivious to my feelings, tilted her head and asked me.
“Miss. You should hurry up and wash up and go see Mr. Ban. Why are you asking?”
“Mmmmmmm!?!!”
Oh my! Ban, just hearing that name makes me want to jump out of my seat.
“I can’t do this today. I’m sure I won’t be able to concentrate on practice.”
I shook my head and tried to sound calm and collected.
“Anyway, Ban won’t be practicing his humanization today. Besides, I have to read the book I borrowed today. So I won’t go today.”
“Huh? Understood… I will.”
Anna, with a puzzled look in her eyes, nodded and disappeared.
I sighed deeply and went to the living room where breakfast was being prepared.
And after another agonizingly tasteless breakfast and a dreadful bath, I sat down at my desk.
“Woof woof. Woof woof.”
Okay, I’ll just read books today.
I steeled myself and opened the thickest book I could find.
That’s when the door banged so hard it almost shattered.
“Woof woof?”
“I think it’s Mr. Ban.”
“Woof woof!?!?!?!?!?”
Anna’s cautious words made my tail stand on end.
No, I didn’t know he’d come on his own.
“Open, or not?”
The knocking continued, and eventually I had no choice but to open the door.
“Woof… Woof woof.”
I was waiting for Ban, feeling helpless, when he strode into the living room and plopped down in front of me with an angry expression.
“Are you really going to act this irresponsible?”
“Woof woof?”
“No matter what happened yesterday, it’s still the same. Didn’t you want to practice humanization as soon as possible? Why are you so lax? It was the same yesterday, and it’s the same today.”
Hey, is that what you’re talking about? You’ve been avoiding me so much.
I opened my eyes wide, but a thunderous sound came out.
“What the-”
“Gah-gah!!”
Oh, no!
Haley is listening!
If she finds out you read that book, she’ll double down on etiquette lessons as soon as you become human.
I quickly jumped onto Ban’s chest and covered his mouth with my paw.
Ban, who was suddenly attacked by me, as well as Anna and Haley, widened their eyes.
“Oh, I understand. I was wrong. Since I was wrong, we’ll practice humanization. Let’s do it. Okay? Let’s do it.”
“…”
“But let’s get Hailey and Anna out.” Huh?
I sat on Ban’s chest and clasped my feet together in prayer. He looked at Hayley and Anna with a much more relaxed expression.
I was momentarily astonished by his satisfied expression, like a wild beast having successfully hunted, but then he grinned at Hayley and Anna.
“Would you two please leave?”
What’s so great about that?!
“Mmmmmmm…”
~·~·*· . ·*· . ·*· . ·*·~·~
After Hayley and Anna, who had been looking at me with a questioning look, left, somehow, the humanization practice began.
But today, too, I failed to become human.
Is it because I’m still not used to handling pheromones? Or because of yesterday…
Because of this…
Is it because I’m not fully focused on practice?
“Phew… Phew…”
I sighed repeatedly, and he tilted his head in confusion.
“Why are you so listless today? I can’t seem to concentrate at all, even in practice.”
“Mmmmm.”
It’s all your fault.
The root of all evil.
I looked at him with a resentful gaze, but Ban, perhaps having forgotten to notice, nonchalantly picked up the books piled high on the table.
“This is… a book about the White Beastman?”
He frowned for a moment and then asked me.
“Why did you borrow a book about the White Beastman?”
“Just because I’m curious.”
“Why would you ask such a thing, rascal?”
I said it indifferently, but somehow he seemed a little anxious.
“What’s wrong?”
“…It’s nothing.”
Ban quickly placed the book back on the table and ran a hand through his hair.
As his handsome face gleamed smoothly under the chandelier, I briefly recalled that…introduction to the work from yesterday.
“Ugh! Why the heck did you have to bring up the abandoned prince again…?”
I got angry for no reason. Finally, I gritted my teeth.
-Practice’s over, right? Then get out!! Get out!!
“? Why are you so angry?”
-You don’t look angry? You threatened me. Hey… Hey…
I felt wronged.
That’s… Hey… Anyway, that’s not it.
The process of people who love each other sharing love is just a little more intense than normal.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Those who oppress and find it strange are even stranger.
They say they’re suppressing human freedom.
You low-level people!
“Woof woof.”
Do you know true love?
A comfortable trash can, that’s art!!
“Woof woof woof.”
I glared at Ban, smirking, and he tilted his head for a moment.
“Have you found out something about the white beastman, and are you on edge?”
“What’s a white beastman?”
“What are you talking about, Jasha? Just get out of here.”
His eyes just gleamed, and Ban rubbed his chin.
“If that’s not it…”
He then swiftly pulled yesterday’s book from the bookshelf.
“So this is the answer.”
I jumped up in panic.
“Woof-woof!! Woof-woof!”
But no matter how high I jumped, I could only reach his thigh.
Instead, Ban, as if teasing me, held the book high and began slowly turning the pages.
“I thought he was a slave, but he’s actually a prince. Do you like these kinds of status reversals?”
“Woof… woof! Woof!! Woof!!”
No, that’s just a setting! One of the settings!
There are other interesting settings…
T-that’s not it. Ahemhem.
“Woof. Woof. Woof.”
I regained my composure and clung to Ban’s pants.
But he chuckled and continued.
“Your taste in men… Hmm… You’re a piece of shit. Do you like trash? Don’t you know that trash isn’t recyclable?”
Hey, you have a pretty good personality, so what are you doing?
“Woof.”
I looked at Ban with cold, cold eyes.
He had an innocent expression.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Mmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmm.”
All trashy male leads think they’re innocent.
“Now, let’s look at the cover.”
Okay, do whatever you want.
Having finally given up, I finally lay down on the floor, my stomach showing.
“The man’s face…”
“Blonde and blue eyes.”
But Ban’s face, which had been smirking for a while, hardened when he saw the cover.
What’s wrong with him?
“Blonde and blue eyes?”
I rolled my eyes and looked at him, his brow furrowed slightly.
Of course, his expression quickly returned to normal.
“Well, since the male lead is a ‘prince,’ he’d naturally have blond hair and blue eyes.”
Ban put the book back on the shelf and muttered coldly.
“I’m suddenly curious. How did a male lead with brilliant blond hair and beautiful blue eyes end up being a slave? Doesn’t that alone make him a legitimate prince?”
Well, even Ichelle had been a bit critical of that, saying it was implausible.
I glanced at him.
“Ban, you look a bit upset.”
Since she wasn’t a blonde with blue eyes, she was the one who was abandoned. But how could she possibly relate to the story of a blonde with blue eyes being abandoned?
-… Me!
Finally, a loud voice broke out.
– “I don’t really like blonde with blue eyes. Don’t they seem too arrogant?”
Of course, that’s a lie. Who could dislike a blonde with blue eyes?
Especially in the established world of romance novels, isn’t the secondary male lead always a blonde with blue eyes, a pitiful, handsome man with a cold face?
But for now, to console Ban, I muttered to this “black-haired, red-eyed, cold, arrogant, handsome man.”
– Blondes with blue eyes are unlucky. Yes. That’s true…
“… Heh.”
It was a laugh. Where did that indifferent face from before go? He covered his mouth and held back a laugh.
-Why are you laughing?
“You really are no good at lying. It says on your face that I like blond, blue-eyed, handsome men.”
-Ah… No! I just… just…
Just!
-I like any handsome man!!
That’s right! I like any handsome man. Handsome men are something to be cherished and protected!!
“Wof-woof-woof!”
His eyes widened at my words. Then he made a half-moon shape and laughed.
“You know what?”
“Wof-woof-woof!?”
Why, why are you like this? I’m falling for you!
“You’re really funny. You’re a funny woman.”
“…Wof-woof?”
Funny woman? Is that a compliment? An insult? As I muttered softly, he muttered something to himself.
The voice was so quiet I couldn’t hear it.
“I think he said he was happy…”
“Wo-woof…?”
~·~·*· . ·*· . ·*· . ·*·~·~
After the humanization practice was over and I sent Ban back to his room, I, with his help, transformed into a human and began to read a book about the “White Beastmen.”
“Beastmen who can’t fly genetically are called ‘phantom species.’
Phantom species are divided into two types: the first is the white beastmen and the second is the black beastmen.
The white beastmen are blessed by the highest god of the heavenly realm.
The black beastmen are blessed by the lord of the demon realm.”
Upon reading this, I scoffed. One of the white beastmen I knew immediately came to mind.
That was… <Saint> Ayla.
“Anyway, the Panso writers really like saints.”
And this Ayla had all the good plots. Ayla was a nine-tailed fox, a phantom species, and the world’s most beautiful woman.
Thanks to this, 50% of the readers bought Ayla stock. Of course, they sold their shares one by one after learning that Ban was an eunuch.
“When and where did they meet?”
Perhaps they met in the “fallen” kingdom of Rohiton while Ban was wandering the continent?
“The kingdom of Rohiton…”
I sighed. As a reader, I knew the true reason for the kingdom’s fall. I clicked my tongue slightly and skimmed the pages of the book.
