"Like this!" he said, reaching behind him and pulling something out, a playful grin on his face.
"Tada~ look at this magical item Aria brought me," he said, spinning it in his fingers.
I blinked and tilted my head. "Aria? Really?" I said, my voice carrying both surprise and amusement.
I looked over at her, my eyes softening.
Beneath all that tough warrior person, she really had a soft heart.
Aria's mouth was stuffed with cake at that very moment.
She could only manage a small nod in response, which somehow made her even more endearing.
All three of us immediately burst into laughter, watching her little struggle.
Her cheeks flared red like fire as she pushed the plate away from her, muttering something about going to her room to finish eating.
I couldn't help but grin at her cuteness.
Meanwhile, Elaris cleared his throat, drawing my attention back to him.
