That night, Aurora’s stomach ache practically had her rolling about in pain. It was probably because her digestive system was incapable of processing raw meat. The pain almost convinced her that she was at death’s door.

But it eventually passed; possibly due to the effect of the other half’s genes, the ache passed and Aurora was miraculously still alive. With effort, she pulled herself together. Although she collapsed afterwards, the Aurora who had experienced facing death no longer cared about this.

[TN- Reminder that Aurora is a hybrid]

She had finally grasped a sense of reality in this world, and was no longer that same optimistic, naive person who thought she could go back home. She understood that this was a world where beasts hunted and were hunted; the cruelty of nature where the weak were prey to the strong. As for herself, she was at the bottom of the food chain: the role of the one to be hunted. Even the slightest carelessness would put her life at risk.

—She really will drop dead ah.

She gathered her determination to not become the small beast who relied on the spectating “animal world”—Aurora cast a look at the beautiful little beast walking majestically towards her, swaying her tail and grinning.

Although it was her fault that Aurora nearly died, she still remembered on that night, this little beast incessantly whimpered and dug against the earth with her snout. Her cold and stiff body seemed to warm up as she moved.

Or perhaps the little beast had realized her mistake last time because once Aurora got better, the little beast took the responsibility over her food.

But…

Aurora opened her bright red eyes. She stared while Alice picked her up with her flexible white tail and called out for the elder who loved Alice the most, Idra. Alice placed her in front of Idra, gesturing Aurora to suck the milk, communicating via a series of familiar and natural actions. Aurora couldn’t help but make a 囧 face.

However, Aurora knew that Alice was afraid of her getting bullied by other snow leopards and so had prepared a “VIP seat” for Aurora to enjoy her mother figure’s milk…

Alright, she was actually rather moved.

—This kid is really difficult to explain in a few words. Should I say that Alice is overbearing or considerate of the needs of others…?.

Pondering this, Aurora opened her mouth and tried to suck the milk, but, the corner of her mouth couldn’t stop curving upwards, making her accidentally leak some of the milk, resulting in Idra’s tail hitting her head. It was then that Aurora realized she was smiling. She couldn’t help but inwardly feel disdain for herself—

I can’t possibly have Stockholm Syndrome, right? Going so far as to have a good opinion of this overbearing snow leopard. Truly frightening…

But-

Aurora rate of gulping gradually slowed down. She cast away her nozzle and thought that it was actually not that difficult to like Alice. After all, to these snow leopards, Aurora was an edible herbivore. Them not trying to eat such succulent and tasty meat was already good enough. But would they treat her as well as the considerate Alice does?

As her thoughts came to this point, Aurora’s peripheral vision landed on the main culprit of her predicament— The evil snow leopard, Allen. Swaying his tail, he seemed to want to approach Alice. Aurora could immediately hear her mental alarm bells going off, straightening her long ears on alert.

Alice seemed to spend far too much time with Allen, compared to the time she spent with Aurora! That evil snow leopard particularly seemed fond of sticking to  Alice… he even curried favor more than she did. How could she let that happen?
