Seeing Rafayel's expression, Varek said, "I'll let you touch it again."
After that, Kael climbed up and reunited with Elia and Aphy, but by then, Varek had already returned to the forest.
When Rafayel arrived at Kael's mansion, he headed straight for the bath, and now Kael and Elia were interrogating him about the situation.
"Anyway, I'm glad you aren't injured. But why did it come to that…? It's rare for my uncle to come to rescue people, you know?" Kael said with a puzzled look.
Rafayel hesitated, wondering where to begin.
"Ah… well… it seems he really liked the sandwich."
I'm not lying, right!?
"Is that all...?"
"And something about a scent or something…" Rafayel said, looking away.
"A scent?!" Kael stood up sharply.
Eh… is that a big deal!?
"Anything else!?" Kael pressed him with an intense gaze.
"Well… something about mates…?"
"'Mates'!?"
Kael and Elia's voices overlapped.
"Did he really say 'mates'!?"
