The flapping of the wings quieted down as the harpy girl and Irene engaged in conversation.
Irene soothingly calmed the agitated harpy girl, showcasing a skill so adept it bordered on beautiful, as if to claim there are specialists even in the art of pacification.
Anyone with a hint of empathy would feel the humanity in this scene, while those more sensitive might find themselves moved by a conversation that broke down distrust and fostered trust between different species.
-Is our harpy friend not going to tear the habit with her claws?
-Shooting from below is risky because of the harpy, but shooting from above is also dangerous thanks to certain assets.
-But is a saint candidate that strong? It's usually tough to hold back kids when they're acting up, lol. Maybe it's muscle from living at the temple.
-Muscles or not, being hugged like that, even a UFC champion would stay still.
Many viewers felt something else from the intimate interaction between the slender, unclothed exotic beauty and the nun, whose habit was stretched tight by flapping wings, revealing her figure.
The arrival of a talking harpy from the sky was surprising, but it naturally drew attention to her body due to viewers being more interested in physical appearances.
However, my interest wasn't in her immature physique but in the jewelry adorning her small body, including a necklace with a jade-like pendant and various bracelets and anklets crafted from twisted materials.
"This harpy wears jewelry, different from the ones in the Kingdom."
"They're far inferior to the craftsmanship of stone dwarves. They look like clumsy toys made by children."
Of course, having a lot of jewelry doesn't necessarily mean it's beautiful.
The large gold pieces worn by the Harpy Queen could be museum pieces or command high prices in a jewel shop, marked with several zeroes.
But the jewelry worn by this harpy girl was merely shiny stones strung on worn thread.
The difference was like comparing perfectly cut diamonds to cubic zirconia[1] from a local stationery store.
Still, the fact that she wore any jewelry at all distinguished her from other harpies who fluttered about without any, suggesting she might be intelligent, wealthy, or powerful among harpies, perhaps even like a large-scale rancher who raises hundreds of mountain goats.
"Human? Oh, you don't have feathers? Hmm, wings without feathers are kind of creepy."
"These aren't featherless wings; they're hands. Hands and fingers, which can't fly but can delicately use tools... like this."
"Wow! It's wriggly like a worm, that's really amazing!"
Amid the provocative scenes that inadvertently triggered some viewers' instincts, Han Se-ah chastised the viewers, while I, along with Grace and Katie, kept our hands on our weapons, worried Irene might get hurt.
Regardless of what we were doing, the two of them had slipped into their own world.
It was frightening how effortlessly Irene, skilled in handling children, won over the harpy girl.
It took her less than ten minutes.
After tidying up her feathers and untangling her necklaces, Irene wiped a sparkling stone, which was either a jade or a crystal, on the edge of her habit.
She had completely won the harpy girl over.
"Me? I'm the ruler of these mountains. I have lots of subordinates!"
"You... you're a bit dumb, aren't you? How can sheep turn into stone? Sheep are made of meat, not stone."
There are superior beings among the red harpies, just as there are named, giant harpies among the black harpies.
While black harpies, with bodies of eagles, are distinguished by size, red harpies, with human bodies, are differentiated by intelligence and magical ability.
After all, in a world with mana, most living beings are like that.
Even the simplest goblin is divided into regular goblins and goblin shamans, and orcs have sorcerers.
Superior monsters all possess mana.
Even humans, regardless of their origin, are treated like nobility if they are exceptional mages or knights.
