"Wow, who is that female? She's so beautiful!"
"Seriously, she's stunning. Is she from our tribe?"
"I don't know—I've never seen her before."
…
The beastfolk of Half-Mountain Tribe began murmuring excitedly as soon as they saw Nina.
Many of the unmarried males felt their hearts flutter at the sight of her.
Shui looked up as well. What she saw was a breathtakingly beautiful female in elegant attire, surrounded by a group of outstanding males as she approached.
When Nina spotted Aina and the others, she smiled brightly and waved.
"Aina, Jina—I'm here!"
"Y-you're… Nina?"
Aina stared in disbelief. The features were unmistakably Nina's, yet the change was so dramatic that she almost doubted her own eyes.
"Yes, it's me," Nina laughed. "Did you not recognize me?"
Aina's face lit up with delight.
"Nina, you're actually this beautiful? I almost didn't recognize you!"
She guessed that Nina must have healed her own face. After all, she knew Nina possessed healing abilities.
