Ch. 12 - Causality
After much thought, Abby designated two of the seven rooms as living quarters.
“Di, tell me what you think.”
“No complaints. If anything, I’d suggest splitting them into two zones: one for sleeping, one for daily living.”
“Yeah, that makes sense. Especially at night, sticking together would be safer if something happened.”
By early afternoon, no summons had come from Alex yet.
Cat-girl screeched at the kids as she helped prepare the meal. Sui, the lizard-girl, occasionally glanced at me, which I noticed but ignored.
Meanwhile, Ashita and Zoë stayed glued to me, never leaving my side.
“Abby. I’ve got a suggestion, want to hear it?”
Abby nodded. She seemed to be in a good mood.
“Of course. If it’s from you, I’ll listen. Let’s hear it.”
“When we have a bit more leeway, buy clothes for the kids.”
“…Fine. Got it.”
She replied with a cool face, though her eyes flickered away. She’d answered, but she didn’t really get it.
For Abby, her treasure was only one person—Dietrich Becker. Nothing else mattered. That much was written all over her behavior.
One day, that would lead to disaster. But that wasn’t my concern. Eventually… that would be her crossroads.
She pretended to understand, but she still underestimated what it meant to lead a group.
Well then, how would Mother Asclepia’s hand of fate punish this reckless little Queen Bee?
