A Blissful Time

I sat in Lady Seren’s room as I had numerous times before, watching as she sent barrage after barrage of ferocious Wind Cutter spells spinning into the boundary I’d cast for her. It seemed the experience Lady Seren had gained the day before yesterday, when we’d gone out beast-hunting, had caused her fervor for her magical training to double.

She worked hard yesterday as well, but somehow, I feel like she’s especially fired up today…

Her growth was truly ferocious—the number of Wind Cutter blades she could conjure had now surpassed twenty-five.

“Lady Seren, that’s enough for now,” I told her. “Take a break.”

“Just a little longer!”

“No, no, take a breather. It’s better to pause and reflect every so often, so that you can fine-tune your performance.”

She didn’t reply, just gave me a long, resentful look.

Don’t look at me with those eyes, I thought, amused.

But this was Lady Seren I was talking about—no doubt she believed that the faster she charged ahead, the faster her results would improve.

Remember, Lady Seren, rest is always important.

“I understand it will break your concentration,” I told her. “But taking a break can give you new ideas—it helps your brain refresh itself. Please, just rest for a moment.”

“You’re right…” Lady Seren muttered. “Perhaps I’m obsessing over it a little too much.”

“It’s not bad to be passionate,” I reminded her. “Now, let’s have some tea.”

“Okay.”

Lady Seren sighed, easing out of her intense practice mode. Her face relaxed back into her usual, calm expression. She walked over to me, and I watched as she settled her hands over the back of a chair. She glanced over at me, then suddenly started giggling.

“Hmm? What’s so funny?”

“It’s your tail.” She giggled again.

I glanced down. “Hmph.”

It seemed my tail had begun slapping against the table without me realizing it. It was inevitable. After all, today was the day I could finally eat the cookies I had asked for. Even my tail seemed excited about it.

“You’ve been looking forward to them that much?” Lady Seren asked, smiling at me. “I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting.”

Lady Seren sat down in her chair, looking completely relaxed now. She stroked a hand over my fur, then turned to the small basket next to her. She reached in, eventually producing a cookie about the size of my face.

“Here you go,” she said, holding it out to me.

Ah, what a delectable aroma…

The scent of butter drifting from the cookie intoxicated me. The fragrance spoke of sweetness, the scent making my nose twitch. I bit into the cookie while Lady Seren was holding it, then sat down, steadying the cookie with both forepaws as I feasted.

Ah, what bliss.

My mind flicked back to the first time I’d come to Lady Seren’s room, when she’d allowed me to eat a cookie just like this one. It had been so amazing I’d been hoping to have the chance to eat another one ever since.

I immersed myself in the cookie’s buttery scent and crunchy texture, marveling that such a large cookie could also be as thick as the width of my tail.
