Chapter 65: Good Puppy

Chapter 65: Good Puppy

Evelyn's mouth was opened wide in shock as she stared at the three to four year old girl who was blinking back at her innocently.

She hurriedly covered her with a bedsheet before examining her again. However, despite her different appearance, there was no change in her stats.

She gingerly poked the little girl's squishy cheek, and received a dazzling smile in return.

'Oh no oh no no, don't tell me'

"Bree? Can you talk?"

The little girl grinned. "Ahh Ahh!"

Evelyn's face was blank. 'No, even my luck can't be this bad. Let me try again.'

"Ahem, how long will it take to restore yourself to full power, now that you're like this?"

The little blonde girl gave her a cute tilt of her head.

"Ahh?"

'Well, I guess there's no way of denying it, now.'

Evelyn's smile was reluctant, but the little girl probably didn't understand, and only smiled back happily.

"Are you hungry?"

"Ahh!"

Looking at the golden haired little girl still nodding enthusiastically, Evelyn could only sigh and put aside her depression before taking out one of the regular dishes she had bought in the academy's carriage earlier.

And the girl turned her head away haughtily, as if disgusted by her offering.

A bunch of question marks floated over Evelyn's head. 'Well, it makes sense, she's a spirit beast after all. I guess I misunderstood.'

But as she put away her previous offering and didn't take out anything else, the haughty little girl immediately turned distressed, her eyebrows scrunched together as she frowned.

"Ahh!"

She opened her tiny mouth wide and pointed at it with her finger.

Even an idiot would know what she wanted.

"It couldn't be those dew drops, right?"

Regardless, Evelyn had brought them for her in the first place, so she simply took out a bowl and handed it over to the excited little girl.

Unlike in her puppy form, where she had taken it one drop at a time, this time she greedily grabbed a fistful and shoved it into her mouth, chewing loudly before repeating the process until the bowl was empty.

"M-Moh!"

Evelyn watched her carefully, and didn't notice any abnormalities. And once Bree asked for more, the pink haired girl couldn't help but be delighted. 'She can speak more clearly now? Great!'

And so, one by one, all twenty of the serenity dewdrop bowls were emptied, and Bree didn't even burp.

Instead of feeling a pinch from the five thousand gold loss, Evelyn instead felt ecstatic! Because at this moment, Bree's expression had undergone another subtle change, just like the small one in the carriage.

"Well, Bree is very cute, and strong, but won't Bree listen to me?"

The little blonde nodded furiously, her golden locks flying haphazardly from sheer momentum. "Bree listen! Bree is good puppy!"

Evelyn's lips twitched. "No, Bree, you're not a puppy anymore. You should say 'Bree is a good girl', okay?"

The little girl blinked her big green eyes in surprise, and then she smiled, bright and clear.

"Bree can turn puppy, mama wanna see?"

Evelyn had somewhat expected her to be able to do that after her transformation, but wasn't sure if Bree could just change whenever she wanted, or if she even knew about it. It would certainly be a pleasant surprise if true.

"Eh? You can?"

Bree nodded proudly, and before Evelyn realized what was happening, there was a small golden little puppy on her lap, just like the past few years. Except that this time, her eyes were sharper than ever, no longer as dumb as before.

And just as quickly, she turned back into her toddler form, and Evelyn covered her with the sheet again, feeling a little happy.

"Good girl."

"Ehehehe Bree's happy if mama's happy."

Evelyn felt her lips twitch.

If Bree can change forms at will, that would mean less scrutiny from people at the academy even if she had to take her out of the room.

Moreover, the transformation was fast as lightning!

Still, there was no need to hide it from Amara and Vivian.

'But they can't hear her call me mama! Bree would probably die from embarrassment once she recovers her memories if that happened. It's one thing for just me to know, but another entirely if everyone else also knows'

Looking at how obedient she was being, Evelyn couldn't help but have an idea.

"Listen, Bree, you can only call me mama when we're alone, alright? It's a special thing, just between us!"

The little girl tilted her head in confusion. "Then what to call mama if big red and small red there?"

Evelyn assumed that those were her 'titles' for Amara and Vivian.

"Just call me Evelyn!"

"Lyn!"

The pink-haired girl groaned. "Call me just Eve, then."

"Eve!"

"Good!"

"Mama, Bree has gift for you!"

Evelyn tilted her head, confused. "Eh? You do?"

'Could it be that she remembered something?!'

"Yes! Bree made something!"
