Chapter 96
Although her face was red with anger, Heesu was quite serious.
The original Heesu had such a complex about her appearance that she lacked confidence in her own face. This was true not just by subjective standards, but by objective ones too. As proof, she had never once in her life heard a compliment like “cute” or “pretty” from the opposite s*x. Though, she rarely interacted with the opposite s*x in the first place.
Heesu had immense pride in her other appearance, which she had gained after living like that. She truly considered it to be the most beautiful, attractive, and stunning appearance in the world. Even now, after getting quite used to it, she would often look in the mirror, marvel at her transformed self, be mesmerized, and praise it. Comparing that to her current appearance and treating them as equal was an insult to Heesu’s pride.
That’s why Heesu was genuinely angry. Because it was an act that insulted that appearance.
But at the same time, it was also an act that complimented her original appearance.
So, at first, she was embarrassed and a little happy, so her face couldn’t help but turn red. It was contradictory, but both emotions were genuine feelings for Heesu.
The men, who had no way of understanding Heesu’s delicate, complex, and subtle emotions, each looked dumbfounded, troubled, puzzled, and sighed.
“If you’re going to be like that, then don’t ask if you’re cute in the first place…….”
“I don’t quite understand what’s going on, but I’m sorry…….”
“Sometimes I just don’t understand Master…….”
“I heard that when a woman asks if she’s pretty, she’ll get angry no matter what you say, so be careful……. Master is no exception, I guess…….”
Of course, Heesu also had no way to explain her delicate, complex, and subtle emotions, so she just pounded her chest in frustration.
“It’s not like that?!”
The men were equally frustrated.
“Then what is it, exactly…….?”
“So, what I mean is…….”
Heesu, groaning and agonizing with her head in her hands, mumbled her words.
“Well…… I’ve never once heard someone say I’m cute or pretty before? When I was with you guys, I was always being compared. But lately, it’s a bit…… what should I say, it feels less like that than before…… and…… I sometimes hear people say I’m pretty good……. So, just maybe, by any chance…… I wondered if I had changed from before…….”
“Ah…….”
Only then did Violen nod.
“That’s right. You’ve gotten prettier lately.”
Only then did Heesu brighten up a little.
“R-really?”
“Yes. You’ve lost weight, so your features are clearer, and your skin has gotten better.”
“Why did my skin get better? I didn’t change my cosmetics, but my acne has completely disappeared lately?”
“Perhaps it’s thanks to you stopping instant food and eating my healthy meals?”
“Is that so? My life has also become more regular than before…….”
“There’s also a saying that if you receive a lot of love, you become prettier.”
Edstan interjected with a mischievous expression and chuckled, and Heesu winced.
“Looove?”
“You mean mating?”
“Mating…….”
At that word, Alburn’s face flushed completely, and he dropped his head low. It seemed he was recalling that incident again.
“Hey, hey! Don’t think about it!”
Heesu waved her hands with a troubled expression, yet she felt somehow wronged.
Sure, that incident was embarrassing for her too, but if you thought about it, wasn’t Alburn the one who had pounced on her first? She felt even more wronged by the explanation that he couldn’t remember what happened when he acted purely on instinct because he was a creature with minimal intelligence, unlike an animal like Rufus. From Heesu’s perspective, the perpetrator couldn’t remember what they had done to the victim and was instead treating her like a pervert.
But seeing him so embarrassed, looking like he was about to cry, she lost any thought of scolding him. It was truly a world of difference from when he was a caterpillar and a butterfly.
“I…… I think I’d get prettier if Master swore at me and hit me more…….”
At times like these, the one who unfailingly made the situation worse was Edstan, who was as perverted now as he was at the beginning. Heesu gritted her teeth, looking at him twisting his body and speaking like a spoiled child.
“Oh, I will. I will definitely make you prettier soon.”
“Haang! I-I’ll look forward to it. Aah…….”
Heesu shook her head at Edstan’s reaction, who was flushing and even shrugging his shoulders. The terrifying thing about Edstan was that no matter what abuse Heesu hurled at him, it didn’t affect him at all; in fact, it only made him stronger.
“Still, you were cute originally.”
“That’s right.”
Violen said with a sweet smile, and Rufus also nodded along. Heesu’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she turned her head away.
Do they get a “Master filter” installed when they acknowledge someone as their Master? Why are they all like this……?
Even as she thought that, she couldn’t help but feel her lips twitching upwards.
