"I'm stuffed~"
After eating, Azura even pulled Betelgeuse over to sit on the villa sofa and chat. But it was obvious that Betelgeuse was far less interested in the current Azura than she had been in her dumpling form...
Maybe because she hadn't looked human before, Betelgeuse had felt no psychological burden interacting with her?
But Azura didn't turn back into a dumpling. The girl knew her mission.
We hadn't come here today merely to return the bionic body. Otherwise, there would have been no need to bring Azura along—I could have come alone...
Azura needed to use Betelgeuse's fondness for her to break through her defenses, take her out of her comfort zone, and teach her how to interact normally with people.
"Big Sister Betelgeuse, why don't we go out and have fun together?"
Azura began her operation.
"No. I can just stay here."
The shut-in Witch refused, just as expected.
Azura asked again, "Big Sister, do you have any clothes besides this outfit? You're always wearing the same thing. Do you even take baths normally?"
Although Betelgeuse's personality was unbelievably twisted, she was still a girl.
"Huh? Of course I bathe!"
Being questioned about whether she bathed naturally made her emotional. She dragged Azura upstairs and opened the wardrobe in her bedroom to show off her clothes.
"And I have several outfits!"
Hearing that, I extended my perception through the darkness and took a look through the floorboards.
Good grief. The wardrobe held camisoles in every color, while the drawers contained panties in every color...
And that was it.
She really only had one skirt.
Azura scratched her head and bluntly asked, "They're all the same style. Doesn't that basically mean you don't have any other clothes?"
"I-I don't go out anyway. These clothes are enough, aren't they?"
