The group, including Aragis, who had been waiting nearby to watch the spectacle, saw this scene unfold.
The area fell silent for a few seconds before an ear-splitting burst of laughter erupted.
Reize casually picked up the bouncy pink creature at his feet, a sly smile playing across his face.
"Heh heh, Walter, I didn't expect you to have such… cute tastes," he said.
Even Leo beside him couldn't help but facepalm and laugh softly. The contrast was simply too stark.
Aragis and the others nearby had already discreetly stepped away, their expressions clearly reading,
"We don't know this guy, we're not familiar with him! Don't look!"
Hearing his companions' unrestrained laughter, Walter's cheeks flushed briefly before he quickly regained his usual composure.
Clearing his throat, he maintained his calm demeanor.
"Ahem, you've misunderstood."
"This is actually a small gift I specially acquired for Miss Lilith, a magical creature from a distant nebula that can soothe emotions."
