"A Druid?!"
After a moment of surprise, Befario's eyes burned with excitement-he had once discussed with his classmates whether Magical Beasts that Druids transformed into could be captured and contracted.
His second reaction was, The cat I've been raising was actually a transformed Druid!
The guileless Befario cautiously held down the Eden Terminal and hesitated for a long while as he looked at the white cat. "Um... are you male or female?"
Bena, the white cat, had no idea what expression she should make.
Do I look male like this? I'm obviously the very picture of ladylike elegance!
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
The furious white cat immediately unleashed a flurry of deadly, lightning-fast claw swipes on Befario, leaving remarkably symmetrical scratches across his face.
Once she finished, the white cat acted as though she had never moved and tapped her food bowl with a sharp claw.
"Meow!"
That aloof, elegant, haughty air instantly made Befario forget that this was a-er-a "Druid," as well as the faintly stinging claw marks on his face.
He immediately scurried off to fetch the dried deep-sea squid he had bought at great expense, offering it to Bena as compensation.
Anyone who kept pets knew how much happiness and emotional satisfaction came from feeding them treats and watching them enjoy the delicious food.
Bena elegantly ate the dried deep-sea squid, only raising her eyes after finishing it all. Complex emotions shimmered in her silver feline eyes-as a Sacred Dragon, she could naturally sense Befario's thoughts and Mental Power, possessing an ability close to mind reading.
Is this guy an idiot?
He already knew she was a transformed "Druid," yet he hardly seemed to care, simply watching her eat dried squid with a doting gaze that felt cloyingly affectionate.
Is he just that easygoing, or is he an idiot...?
