"I'm very happy now," Re'i said again. "Not only did I et you, but I was able to communicate with you, Gwen. Sadly…."
The smile on Re'i's lips beca even more bitter.
Gwen, who waited for Re'I to continue for a while, finally asked again. "What do you an?"
"We are completely different, Gwen. I wish I could take you to my kingdom. I want to show you my kingdom." This ti Re'i's smile disappeared. "Well, you don't want to be like just to co over to my house, do you?"
Gwen was silent for a mont. "What an interesting question."
"I already guessed it. Well, then it all ends here…." Re'i fell silent again. "Ah, I'll say it before I regret it, Gwen. Honestly, I want to always be with you... I want you to be a part of my life, and I am a part of yours, Gwen. However, that is impossible. So, I have to let you go."
You've only seen her once, and you've already confessed that you love Gwen? Isn't that an exaggeration, Re'i?
"Oh…." Gwen sighed. "Sorry, I can't answer your feelings."
"It's okay. With this alone, I'm already pleased." A single tear fell from the half-fish creature's eye. "Well then, goodbye, Gwen. I hope we can et again in the future."
"Before that, may I ask you a question? This friend of mine has sothing bothering him."
"What's that?"
"See that big tall friend of mine?" Gwen opened her eyes and pointed at Miro, still sticking her forehead to Re'i's. "He wants to know if he really is a descendant of rman or not."
"Ah…" Re'i opened his eyes as well, glanced at the man, who now looked very worried. "Sorry, but rman can't breed with humans… Well, it's also impossible for rman descendants to stay on land and take human form."
"Oh, I see."
Re'i closed his eyes again. "This is really goodbye, Gwen. If you need anything, co to . I will help you. Whatever the case, even if you need the help of combat troops, I can provide it."
"Huh?" Gwen chuckled. "Combat troops? Are you a general? Or even higher than that? Are you a king?"
"I am. I am the king of the Fin'ce kingdom in this lake."
Holy shit.
Gwen's chin imdiately dropped. She was speechless for a few seconds. "Err…. Sorry if I'm being rude, Your Majesty."
Laughter escaped from Re'i's mouth. "You don't have to call that, Gwen. You are not my resident. Re'i alone is enough."
"Okay…. Re'i. Goodbye." Gwen sounded unsure.
"Oh yes, one more. This lake may look calm from the outside, but there are actually many fish here. Why don't you eat them? Those fish can be a variety of food for you and your friends, right?"
"Huh?" Gwen frowned. She sounded even more unsure. "Isn't fish still your kind?"
Re'I laughed again. "They are our prey. We are not the sa as them."
Gwen grimaced. It seed that it wasn't because of what Re'i said just now but because the blonde-haired woman didn't like fish.
"Ah, I can't stay on the surface for long. Again, goodbye, Gwen. Pleased to et you."
" too. Goodbye."
Gwen removed her forehead from Re'i, and the king waved his hand at my colonists. At first, my people exchanged glances but eventually waved back, albeit with stiff and awkward movents. Only Miro did it with a huge smile and enthusiastic gesture.
Re'i crawled towards the lake, and Miro hurriedly caught up to Gwen. With his breathing starting to get out of control, the big man asked, "What's the answer?"
Gwen looked at Miro, smiling faintly. "Sorry, Miro. Re'i said that the descendants of rman cannot continue to exist on land in human form."
Miro's eyes widened. "You're not lying, are you?"
"I can make you peek into my mind if you want," Gwen said in a low voice. "Re'i actually said that."
"Ah, his na is Re'i, huh?" Miro closed his eyes, sighed, and nodded. "Most importantly, thank you for complying with this selfish request of mine, Gwen."
Gwen patted the big man's forearm lightly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay, really." Despite saying that, Miro blinked his eyes which were starting to water. "We'd better go ho now."
Miro walked over to the container filled with clay.
"Let's go ho. I'll tell you everything on the way." Gwen sighed to her colony mates.

I stopped the fast-forward feature at night. Like yesterday, Gwen was separating herself from her comrades by the fire, this ti wearing only panties. However, instead of practicing her ranged attack, the blonde-haired woman just sat looking at the flas that kept on moving.
"Ah, good night, Mr. Spirits." Gwen gave her trademark seductive smile. However, I noticed sothing different.
"Why do you look sad, Gwen?"
Gwen was silent for a mont. "Like I said yesterday when communicating using telepathy with other people, I can peek into their thoughts. I can't control it all, so I have to accept it."
"Is Re'i evil?"
The blonde woman shook her head. "I believe that he is a good person, although he still has so flaws. Well, it's normal... However, I could feel the burden of him being a king. He must ensure that his people prosper amid many conflicts of interest in his country. Not to ntion the complicated relations with other countries."
"Ah, I did hear that the bottom of the lakes on this planet is bigger than the surface." I nodded. Of course, I've learned about the German nation after eting Re'i. "And they are connected to other lakes or even the sea through caves that are underground. So, they can indeed carry out their state functions well."
In fact, they are more advanced than the inhabitants of the planet's surface, which only consists of tribes and colonies.
"He is …." Gwen choked. "Oh, sorry..."
"You don't have to tell if it's hard on you, Gwen." I didn't want Gwen to get too stressed. After all, I already had enough information. "I only have one question. If we ask him to use his royal army, will he ask for sothing in return?"
Sighing, Gwen nodded. "Well, at least he didn't force us to get what he wanted by force….. Like I said earlier, he's basically a good person."
