This had originally meant announcing to the world that Seele was hers...
Black Seele withdrew her gaze, leaned back in her chair, crossed her right leg over her left, and watched Seele eat the pastries in front of her.
"Seele, is it good?"
Seeing Seele relish the snacks the shopkeeper had brought over, with cream even smeared at the corners of her mouth, Black Seele blinked her crimson eyes at her and asked softly.
"Do you want some too?"
Hearing that, Seele set down the pastry in her hand, raised her head, and looked adorably at the other version of herself with her big eyes.
"No need. Seele, you can eat it yourself."
Black Seele smiled faintly and shook her head in refusal...
"Oh."
Seele froze, her face seeming to say, "I really don't understand why you asked if you didn't want any." Still, she said nothing more and continued eating the dessert in her hand.
Seele's Valkyrie body was simply too good. No matter how much she ate, she would never gain weight—the dream talent of every foodie.
After Seele had nearly finished eating, Black Seele looked around the shop and found that there were barely any customers left. Only the shopkeeper behind the counter and a few employees remained.
Black Seele stood up, braced both hands against the table, and leaned her head closer to Seele.
"Seele... there's cream on the corner of your mouth."
"Huh? Cream?"
Seele tilted her little head and prepared to wipe it away with her hand. But... Black Seele was faster. She grabbed Seele's hand, leaned her own head toward Seele's mouth, and extended her soft pink tongue... licking away the cream from the corner of Seele's lips.
"Now it's clean."
After licking it away, Black Seele smiled faintly at Seele.
