As if she was embarrassed, she raised her voice as she yelled towards the tail end of her sentence . I was relieved that she wasn’t worried about her identity, but for some reason my face turned a bit red feeling flustered . That was because I felt like I butted in unnecessarily .
However, Jung Hayeon would have been more embarrassed than me . I certainly could not have imagined that her concerns were like that at all . She must have felt ridiculous as well since she wasn’t able to raise her head properly . As the silence reverberated loudly inside the tent, Jung Hayeon hurriedly began to speak .
“That… That is . Since you haven’t been calling me these days… I was thinking that… You like Me… Mev or Baek…Baek Ahyeon who have small bodies… Unlike…Unlike them both, I am big…”
“If not, perhaps, the plant body does not suit you…”
She must have been desperate in her own way as tears filled her eyes .
“So, I thought that… I may want to evolve into…A race you might like…”
I could see how the hypothesis of not liking plant might have been developed, but I was very curious as to from where the new idea that I liked small bodies like that of Mev or Jung Hayeon came from . Certainly, every night we spent the time together, I reminded Jung Hayeon that my preference was her, so I was very taken aback by her misunderstanding .
Especially when Mev or Baek Ahyeon could never catch up as far as size, one of the pros, was concerned .
In fact, there were times when Jung Hayeon would be going around the village with brighter look on her face . It was before Mev’s evolution and when Baek Ahyeon was in the city . She must have felt threatened now that Mev matured beautifully and that Baek Ahyeon was also staying in the village .
It seemed like she had a lower self-esteem than I thought .
If I was to nod, it appeared as if she would immediately evolve into a fairy, a fairy queen for sure . It wasn’t that I was curious about how Jung Hayeon would look as a fairy queen, but I always felt inside that my ideal type has always been Jung Hayeon . I thought her shedding her current appearance was something that could not happen .
I spoke immediately as soon as I organized my thoughts . It wasn’t a hollow talk or a lie to simply put Jung Hayeon at ease, either . I was absolutely sincere .
“You do not necessarily change . I like your current appearance the most . ”
Her eyes turned big instantly . Although she was not showing it, she must have felt happier than she could have imagined as her lips were stretching .
“Ah… Yes! Thank… Thank you . ”
As if she found the answer that she was looking for, Jung Hayeon began to coil her body . It looked like she was going to evolve right away . Actually, as a plant sorcerer, it was definitely a negative thing should Jung Hayeon was to choose to evolve into another race . Of course, if she was to evolve into a fairy, she could maintain certain level of friendliness, but the difference would be significant from that of Alaune or Dryad .
“Woop…”
As if she was feeling brief pain, she twisted her body . Like the spirit of flower that appears in mythology, her hair began to be slowly covered with branches and leaves . It was the same case over the leaves that were covering her lower body . It was getting bigger and the color was also turning very beautifully .
As if to fulfill Mev’s dream in her place, her overall look was transforming into a more voluptuous one . It looked like her waist was getting smaller while her buttocks and breasts were growing larger .
What captivated my eyes were the green light, and alluring aroma hit me hard .
Finally, after the evolution has finished, Jung Hayeon gave me a look . She must have known that I was curious as Jung Hayeon spoke with a gentle smile .
“It’s the flower of the life tree . ”
First, it was ordinary, followed by Lapressia, and now it was the flower of the life tree . Just by looking at the worthiness of the kind, I felt like she had the upper hand over me . The appearance was notable, but even the ambience was different . The green skin complexion has become a bit lighter, yet was very beautiful .
“Beautiful…”
Jung Hayeon’s face turned red as I spoke to her while looking at her as if I had lost my mind . Then out of the green branch hair came flower buds, and finally flowers began to blossom . They looked as if she was wearing flowers on her head . What was interesting was the fact that Jung Hayeon has also received a crown .
Certainly, it was different from the crown that the fairy queen Mev had . To be exact, what Jung Hayeon has placed on her head was a laurel wreath . It was a crown that appeared to have been made out of tree branches . However, filled with delicate light, I could tell that that item was not such a bad item .
She has gone further away from being a human than in her previous form . However, if there was ever a forest goddess, she must definitely have the beauty like Jung Hayeon, I thought . I wasn’t certain whether she was happy with her new appearance or not, but she seemed to be very happy to see my reaction as she smiled happily .
“May…”
“May I ask a question?”
“Go ahead . ”
“Name… I want to know your name . ”
This was an unanticipated question . She wasn’t definitely asking for the green skin name . Jung Hayeon has already known that I was a human .
What she was asking was surely the human name .
I didn’t know exactly what she meant by it . Was it to forge a relationship as humans, or grow closer to me, or it could just be that she may simply wanted to know my name . However, I thought whatever it was, letting her know the name was not a big deal .
As I nodded, I said to Jung Haeyon .
“It’s Kim Taesung . ”
“That’s a great name . Taesung . ”
The appearance of Jung Hayeon before me was more beautiful than any flower there was . Finally, having slowly moved closer to me, Jung Hayeon kissed me and I held her in my arms .
This was how we welcomed the next day . It was the day in which the three clans’ general meeting was to be held and the raid training was to be commenced . Rest was over . It was now time to move about more busily and diligently .
