The reason they suddenly became the Black Veil was originally herself. Then, conversely, she had to undo it. In her crazy thoughts, Delina cleared her throat, spoke loudly, and reached out her hand.
“If you don’t need that scarf anymore, give it back now.”
“…….”
“It’s okay if you give it back to me. Right?”
As Delina asked for the scarf, Zen hesitated, unable to decide what to do. In the meantime, Delina briefly assessed the situation. The surroundings were still surrounded by wild beasts.
‘First, I need to drive away those beasts. If so…’
“!”
Taking advantage of Zen’s confusion, Delina snatched the scarf from Zen’s hand. Quickly tying the scarf to a ball, she lifted it high and shouted.
“Zen! Look here!”
Upon Delina’s shout, Zen reflexively looked at the ball tied to the scarf. At the same time, Delina opened her ability.
“Now, take it!”
Delina threw the ball with all her strength into the dark forest. Instantly, Zen sprang out faster than anyone else. As Zen rushed forward, other beasts followed him. Whether the beasts followed Zen or not, Zen became obsessed with finding the scarf. It was truly an astonishing level of obsession.
‘Enough, for now…!’
She succeeded in sending the beasts and Zen away. However, the crisis still existed. A sword passed right next to Delina’s face.
“What did you do?”
Seeing Zen’s actions, Calix, holding a sword, stiffened his face and asked. At the same time, a few strands of Delina’s hair fell off. Delina, concealing the pain and trying to appear nonchalant, casually replied.
“Well, I guess I really wanted that scarf.”
Both Zen’s fists and Calix’s sword were problematic. Even a slight graze could result in a serious injury. Delina quickly took something out of her pocket.
Calix, sensing Delina’s movement, swiftly drew his sword, and in an instant, the dagger flew out of Delina’s hand. But Delina wasn’t flustered. On the contrary, with a face that seemed to have expected it, she extended something toward Calix, who was about to swing his sword again. It was a cookie.
“……!”
Seeing the cookie, Calix’s sword shook. Not missing this opportunity, Delina quickly opened her ability.
Then Calix, as if collapsing, sat down. More precisely, he kneeled and sat. No matter how hard he tried to get up, his knees remained firmly bent. Only then did Delina, who heaved a sigh of relief, collapse into a sitting position.
“As expected, even in that situation, you didn’t want to break the cookie?”
Despite not being able to get up, Calix aimed his sword directly at Delina. Unconcerned, Delina, without hesitation, took out something else from her pocket. It was a pocket containing cookies.
“I made this just in case. I tried to make it as close as possible to your recipe.”
“…….”
“I couldn’t make too many because of time constraints……. Moreover, you just fell now, right?”
They had shared dessert time several times, and it was impossible not to know that. Sure enough, with the sword pointing at the black Delina, Calix’s gaze was fixed on the cookie.
“I might not be as good as what you made, but still, try it. Because it tastes good.”
Delina, afraid of getting stabbed by the sword, threw the cookie pocket in front of Calix. However, Calix didn’t even flinch.
“Uh…, and now, I might not be able to release the ability, I’ll release it later. So, while eating that, just wait quietly. Got it?”
“Why would I.”
“If you’re not going to eat it, just say so.”
With the cookie placed in front of him and Calix kneeling quietly, Delina shrugged her shoulders, showing a carefree attitude, and asked.
“Where are the others? Celine?”
“……. ”
“Oh, right. I also brought the cookies that were messed up in shape.”
It was Calix, his eyes gleaming with those words. Delina suppressed the urge to laugh. Seriously, his love for desserts was remarkable anytime, anywhere.
“I’ll give this to you if you just tell me the direction.”
Calix didn’t say anything. However, his eyes were looking elsewhere. Delina threw the cookie pocket and waved her hand in a grateful gesture.
“Thanks. Enjoy it. See you later.”
Delina, who picked up the weapon she dropped earlier, walked toward the direction Calix indicated. The bushes were quite dense, but fortunately, there seemed to be no traps.
“Ah!”
… or at least that’s what Delina thought just 3 seconds ago.
