"Is that so? Seele, do you like puppies too? Taking in stray dogs—you're so kind."
The girl had already prepared herself for Seele to ignore her. After all, Seele had rarely paid attention to her before. She never expected Seele to answer her with a smile today, and she was overjoyed.
Even when they did talk normally, Seele was always cold and would bluntly throw a few cutting remarks her way.
This was the first time she had ever been so gentle!
But... "taking her in"? Shouldn't a dog be called "it"?
Seele must have misspoken...
"Hehehe, that's right! Me, Seele, I'm the kindest person around." Knowing the other girl had misunderstood, Seele had no intention of explaining.
However, looking at the number over the girl's head beside her... Come to think of it, Seele didn't know this girl, yet there really was a number 1 above her head.
From what Seele understood so far, anyone with a number over their head had appeared in the anime, even if only as a passing extra for a brief instant. So this girl beside her must have had some sort of background appearance too!
She just didn't know when she had appeared, or whether she had appeared as a human or as one of the dead.
But that wasn't important. What mattered was... she discovered that the "1" above the girl's head could actually be claimed. In other words, she met the requirements to become Seele's "dog"?
That left Seele somewhat baffled. Though they had sat next to each other for months, as far as Seele knew, this girl had never shown any special reaction toward her!
So why...
Forget it. If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it. Getting a Keqing fragment for free was a great deal,
