Pulled back to reality by Almond Eye raising her voice, Kitasan Black froze and instinctively asked, "W-what is it...?"
"Senior Little Kita, you..."
Almond Eye looked over in confusion, her eyes full of concern and sincerity. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Ah... n-no, I'm okay! M-maybe... I just got a little tired from running while buying groceries earlier, ahaha..."
Forcing out a smile, Kitasan Black shook her head repeatedly and desperately tried to recall what Almond Eye had just said.
"Oh, right. I bought so much because I wanted to make something delicious for Trainer. It'll help him recover from his injuries."
"Wow! Senior Little Kita, you're so thoughtful!"
Not noticing anything strange about Kitasan Black, Almond Eye's eyes lit up. "I know a little about cooking too, so I'll help you, Senior Little Kita!
"Let's make Trainer an amazing breakfast together!"
"Y-yes... o-okay..."
Doing her best to smile, Kitasan Black lowered her head in a fluster and continued gathering the ingredients from the floor, trying to hide the complicated emotions in her heart through busyness.
Standing at the entrance to the rental apartment, Anjing Zhen actually wanted to help.
However, he had tried to go over and pick things up earlier, only to be rejected in unison by the two Horse Girls, naturally because they were worried he would aggravate his wound.
So, as he watched Kitasan Black and Almond Eye busy themselves, he felt both comforted and warm inside, while also beginning to ponder something.
He knew about Full Maturity, but he had not had much practical experience with it. He had never personally witnessed the exact state a Horse Girl would be in after reaching Full Maturity.
The changes in Almond Eye before and after this special stage truly shocked him and broadened his horizons.
