She'd lost quite a bit of fat by now - when she jumped , she no longer jiggled like before . At worst , she looked like a stout little garden gnome . Trailing behind her , Vesper caught every flicker of expression on her face . Is she that happy because of what I said earlier ? he wondered , quickening his pace . He reached out to grab her hand , but before he could say anything , Ardenia pulled her plump fingers back with a laugh . " Don't start scolding me just yet - I can explain . What I said earlier was only to annoy Iris . If it bothered you , I'll apologize .

Don't worry , I meant what I said . I'll tell Father everything at the Moon Tide Festival , and you'll all be set free ." Vesper froze . That's ... not what I wanted to say .

It was actually Cooper's old dog bed - Ardenia had bought it too large , so she'd tossed it into her pocket space until now . Tobias was there too , chopping wood while talking to her . " I need these pieces planed smooth ," Ardenia said , fishing cooked meat from the pot . " I'm planning to build a canopy over the kitchen , so it'll be easier to eat outside later . " Since ingredients were running low , breakfast was simple that day .

She had made three large bowls of tangy fish stew and two wooden tables , with Tobias crafting matching benches under her direction .

He had , after all , stood up for her earlier ; sharing a meal felt like the least she could do . And besides , with that " better - looking than Alucard of Castlevania " face , he was practically made to sit across from her while eating . Vesper didn't even hesitate before walking over .

The sight of the food and those delicate utensils only deepened his conviction that Ardenia had truly been blessed by the Beast God . Everything about her - her change , her tools - felt touched by something divine . Halden recognized the look in Vesper's eyes - it was the same dazed fascination he himself had worn just days ago . A faint smirk tugged at his lips , though unease flickered beneath it . If my hunch is right , he might not go through with the dissolution anymore .

" Then she handed Vesper a pair of eating sticks , and Halden immediately took it upon himself to teach Vesper .

" Halden's ears twitched . " If you can't learn , use your hands . Only when eating with Ardenia do you need eating sticks . You're dissolving the bond soon anyway ; you won't be coming here much longer . " Vesper quirked a brow . " Who said I'm dissolving the bond ?
