Chapter 13: Don’t Go There
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on Arthur’s door.
Knock knock.
Arthur turned his head quickly, one eyebrow raised. "Casca?"
A bit of trauma still lingered in his mind, especially from what happened a few minutes ago... when he innocently pressed that holy object against his face. His cheeks warmed slightly just remembering it.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and opened the door.
Casca stood there, still in her casual clothes, hands crossed behind her back like she was hiding some sort of scheme.
"Ahem," she said casually. "You got a lot of bread earlier, right?"
Arthur stared at her, his deadpan expression instantly returning.
Casca gave a slight smile. "Can I have one? The soft kind. Preferably with sesame seeds."
Arthur stared for a few seconds, then let out a long sigh. "You made me clean your house, and now you’re asking for bread too?"
Casca nodded nonchalantly. "Yeah. You got it for free, didn’t you?"
Arthur closed his eyes for a second. "You know... where I’m from, there’s a term for people like you."
