"Wake up... hey, wake up, Little Tang Ze."
"... Um, Dad, I'm so sleepy. Call me later, there's still time to get to school..."
"..."
A groggy Tangze Asuka turned over, trying to catch a bit more sleep, but she suddenly realized something in just a second. Her mind cleared significantly as she sat up abruptly, looking to her side. Squatting there was the somewhat helpless-looking Whale-man, Hooked kiss, which startled her so much that she took a step back and said,
"Ah! Sorry... I was drowsy, Mr. Gou Wen."
"It's okay, hey, eat this. It might be useful later. We've reached the Tree Continent, but it's not dawn yet, so you can rest for a while longer."
"Oh... okay."
Tangze Asuka took the Language Gel handed to her by Hooked kiss, and under his guidance, swallowed the transparent gel. As a crystalline pattern slowly spread across her mind, her language became understandable to others, and she could also comprehend the speech of other races.
