"Eris, Nanahoshi, juice~"
Aisha thoughtfully carried a wooden tray with two glasses of orange juice over to them.
"What a good girl." Eris happily ruffled Aisha's reddish-brown hair, took a glass, and drained it.
"I'd better not have any..."
Nanahoshi looked into Aisha's adorable eyes and reluctantly refused, her face full of regret.
"All right."
Aisha helplessly put the offered juice back on the tray, looking dejected. Of course, it was an act. Aisha was a genius at pretending, a genius in plenty of other ways, and had known how to read people since she was little.
"Why did you turn Aisha down? She brought you juice to be nice!" The red-haired beast, who clearly thought of Aisha as her own little sister, stroked Aisha's head and demanded an answer.
"E-Eris, calm down! I didn't mean anything by it. Aisha, I'm sorry, I really am, but I can't consume things like that."
Aisha was cute and warm, and Nanahoshi didn't dislike her. But she didn't dare consume food from outside because it might contain magic power.
"Why?!"
"Because..." Nanahoshi didn't know how to explain it.
"Anyway, I can only eat specially prepared food. Ordinary food could harm my body."
"Hmph! Aren't you full of yourself?" Eris was clearly angry.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not being arrogant. It's true. I'm not lying, Eris. If I take in too much magic power, my body might change."
Now that things between her and Eris had improved, Nanahoshi was willing to tell her a little more.
"What a troublesome body," Eris complained.
"I heard that..." Nanahoshi sighed helplessly. In truth, she was incredibly envious of Cain. He didn't have to worry that his surroundings might kill him at any moment. Meanwhile, simply staying alive felt like a struggle for her...
