Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1607 - 100: News from Nali (Double - )_4

"Well, let’s talk about you then. Did your departure these years have anything to do with the Empress? The wanted notice for Fisher Benavides lasted only six months, like a little girl sulking with her lover."

"No, it has nothing to do with her, but I’ll return sooner or later. Our issue was never about the wanted notice."

"Yes, anyone with a keen eye can see that..." Keken exhaled a puff of smoke, smiling as he spoke, "The ministers urge the Empress to select a Prince more quickly. Those suggestions fly to the Golden Palace like snowflakes, achieving nothing but souring Queen Elizabeth’s mood. If Schwali’s Prince Luosang hadn’t married already, and if there were other suitable Princes, diplomatic mailboxes would have been flooded with wedding proposals."

"She is this year..."

"In her early thirties, definitely in her prime. To be honest, if we’re talking about it, Queen Elizabeth still has younger siblings, the wandering Princess Isabella, several still-young Princes and Princesses outside the Golden Palace... But you know, the people’s trust in Your Majesty Elizabeth is unprecedented, rooted in visible changes, granting her unparalleled admiration, so only her direct bloodline can inherit this trust."

Elizabeth passed four and a half years, while for Fisher, the actual four and a half years quietly slipped away in the last few months.

"Da da da..."

It was at this moment that the young woman Keken had previously instructed came forward, holding a bottle of red wine with both hands, accompanied by two maids carrying dishes. She greeted Fisher with a nod, expressionless, and proceeded to uncork the bottle and let the wine breathe.

Keken smiled helplessly, extending his hand to introduce,

"Mr. Fisher, allow me to introduce you, this is Adina, my wife. She comes from the Northern Realm, is a bit reticent, I hope you’ll forgive her."

"Oh, wife?"

"Ah, yes. But don’t get me wrong, I haven’t divorced my first two wives; they’re resting upstairs. We came from the Northern Realm, traveling by sea and road; they’re a bit seasick, so..."

"..."

So, this guy married a third wife?

Fisher glanced at the beautiful lady pouring the red wine. Maybe it was an illusion, but he felt a hint of golden light seemed to flash by her body. When he squinted, trying to discern that glow, he suddenly noticed that Keken’s wife’s hand holding the bottle was becoming "soft."

Turning into that, green softness?

No, this is...

"A Slime?"

"!!"

The moment Fisher voiced his query, he noticed Adina’s figure trembling slightly. Though her face remained expressionless, her fingers and arms began morphing into a shade of dark green.

Keken raised his eyebrows towards Adina, then stood with a smile to take the wine bottle from her hands, apologetically saying to Fisher,

"Ah, I forgot, Mr. Fisher is a renowned scholar of Demi-human Studies. Yes, Adina is a Slime I met in the Northern Realm. But as a Slime, she’s quite young and immature, and extremely shy. Every time she gets shy, she can’t maintain even her disguised form; I apologize for that."

While explaining to Fisher, he gently embraced Adina. The Slime, though still expressionless, seemed to relax as she wrapped her soft tendrils around Keken’s waist, her face burying into his shoulder, appearing very clingy.

"Why don’t you go back, I have a few things to discuss with Mr. Fisher..."

"..."

Adina remained motionless, her body growing softer, clinging to him more tightly, seemingly startled by being watched by the Mythical Rank Fisher.

Fisher, a bit surprised, glanced upstairs and asked,

"You mentioned earlier that your two wives are upstairs. I understand that as sisters they don’t mind, but do they not mind this... Adina?"

"Ah, although there were troubles at first, it’s much better now. They get along well, like Adina’s personality, living harmoniously, and at night they can even..."

"Smack!"

The words were cut off as Adina’s tender tendril gently tapped his lips. Before anyone could see clearly, she hopped away, her disguise almost entirely fading as she escaped upstairs, seeming far too shy to listen any longer.

"..."

Fisher opened his mouth, seemingly unsure of what to say.

Keken smiled embarrassedly and waved away the maid who wasn’t surprised at all, preparing to properly enjoy the meal with Fisher,

"Please, Mr. Fisher, I apologize for the amusement."

"...Not at all."

Accompanied by such fine wine, the atmosphere at the table gradually warmed. Fisher sipped a mouthful of Nali’s excellent Black Mamba Wine, and his mood lightened,

"I hadn’t tasted this wine before."

"Of course, it’s fresh off the production line. Nali recently added a few new wineries, all producing incredibly flavorful wines. Do enjoy more, there’s nothing better I have to offer you here."
