The Beast Bear was sitting up there in the tree, his hands stretched out as he grabbed some apples.
It was in that process that one fell and smashed onto Sunnie's head.
"Ouch!"
The Beast Bear looked down as their eyes met.
He had brown hair and brown bear ears which perfectly complimented his deep beautiful brown eyes. This bear beastman was only wearing a loincloth (of brown animal skin) around his waist. He had nothing else.
His chest was bare and bulky. His muscles were well-defined and coupled with abs. He was tanned. And he looked like a professional village hunter to Sunnie.
This beastman had some tribal beads worn around his neck and had some marks around his body. Some were black, some red, and some were simply scars.
Sunnie gasped. She had completely forgotten that an apple had smashed against her head and she was supposed to be angry, because now she was admiring the beautiful, huggable body of this beastman.
"I've forgotten how hot they looked though..?" She swallowed shamelessly. She had read some beastworld books and comics too, so she wasn't surprised at how naked they always were.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations Host! You've found one of your husbands.]
[Name: Luka]
[Status; Beast Husband]
[Species: Bear]
[Position: Last Beast husband, Youngest]
Sunnie gasped as she got up. "Hey! You! What are you doing here?!"
Luka stared down at Sunnie casually, the beads around his neck dangling.
"Hey!" Sunnie called, more authoritative. "Come down from there now!"
Luka blinked. "No. I'm hungry. So I'll have all I want. You can't tell me what to do."
He wasn't necessarily cold with his words, but he was being stubborn. It was a given since he was the youngest and prone to sound as such.
Sunnie recalled the memories of the past host. Luka was a foodie who enjoyed eating anything and anywhere. He was a bear who ate up whatever he saw without caring. And he'd also go to lengths to obtain whatever he wanted.
Sunnie could guess that he was here, ravaging the land of the pigs and stealing their fruits and harvests!
"You can't go around stealing. That's wrong. So come down now and let's go!" She demanded.
She could see the shock and confusion in Luka's face.
The original Sunnie could never speak to her husbands in such an authoritative tone! She didn't have the guts!
She was always so meek and quiet, accepting whatever was thrown at her. She was scared to talk to her husbands. Even though they never beat her up, she was scared they would because she found them scary!
But Sunnie was yelling authoritatively at Luka, and he was shocked.
But Sunnie didn't care. She had to get these grown-ass men of husbands out of here before these pigs came for her bunny tails or ears!
"Why are you suddenly speaking like that? Did you get drunk, Female?" Luka asked.
Female.
Sunnie recalled that this was what her husbands always referred to her as. Even though they were married for years now, they never did see her as a wife truly.
The old host was almost certain that they didn't even like her enough to acknowledge her as a wife. They never did anything with her. So they still referred to her with the distant title "Female".
"I don't care! Just listen to me and come down now so we can get the others!" She snapped, both hands on her waist.
Luka stared at her, still baffled by her new demeanour. But he said nevertheless, "No. I'm not coming till I get all these apples," he insisted.
Sunnie sighed, running a hand through her ears. "You stubborn little thing..." She muttered as she looked around.
Luka looked away and continued picking his apples and throwing them into his mouth as Sunnie went around looking for something.
She finally found it.
"Yes," she picked up a tiny stone and turned to the tree again.
"If you won't come, I'll make you!" She said as she threw the stone in his direction.
She didn't plan on throwing it at him. She simply wanted to scare him. So she threw it to the side. And it worked.
Luka instantly got scared as he fell off the branch of the tree where he comfortably sat.
"Ouch!" He landed hard on his back.
Sunnie could tell he would stand up almost immediately and act. So she ran towards him and placed her foot above his chest, keeping him down.
Luka looked up at the feisty rabbit that had placed her foot on his bare chest to keep him down.
He was simply shocked.
Of course, he could overpower her and get up. But he didn't. He lay there staring at her in shock.
He couldn't help but wonder how she got so feisty and courageous to act up like this!
"Female, are you really drunk?" Luka asked.
"Yes. I am. And I want you to come home with me now," Sunnie insisted.
"Female. I don't care how you got drunk, but I won't be leaving with you. I still have a lot to grab," He insisted.
Sunnie was frustrated. She guessed he wouldn't be leaving with her that easily. So she had to think of a way to make him leave.
If he wasn't going to come voluntarily, she would have to force him!
Sunnie looked around. She needed something to chain her wrist to his wrist so he wouldn't leave her that easily.
"System," she called. "Do you have anything I can use to hook our wrists together?"
[Ding!]
[Yes! I have the perfect tool for that!]
The system showed her the image of a tool on its screen.
"Perfect. Now hand it to me!"
[Error!]
[You can't obtain this equipment!]
[It's not for free! You have to buy it with heart coins!]
"....."
Sunnie blinked "Heart Coins? What the hell is that?"
[These are coins that are used as a means of exchange for buying things from the system store! They can also be used to unlock special skills, services and so on!]
Sunnie nodded. "Ah. So how much of it do I have now?!"
[Calculating...]
[0 = zero]
[You're broke. You have nothing]
