Chapter 400 It Strangely Fits Just Right (2/2)

[Master!?]

Anima finished one quickly and told me how delicious it was with a cute expression on her face, but it was obvious that she hadn’t eaten enough yet, So, I ignored Anima’s objection, bought more, and handed it to her.

[……T- Thank you.]

She tends to be reserved, so a hint of forcefulness like this is just right. I think I’m getting to know Anima better now.

As a side-note, the long coat-like outfit that Anima is wearing now…… it actually has a similar design to my clothes.

However, my clothes are embroidered with golden threads in many places, while Anima’s clothes are not. Also, the design of Anima’s clothes looked a little more modest.

I guess this must be playfulness on Alice’s part, as she deliberately made Anima’s clothes more modest than mine, as if she’s using our position of master and retainer as the motif.

Receiving her clothes, Anima was greatly praising it. She seems to be proud to be my retainer, and she’s really happy to be dressed in a way that makes her instantly recognizable as my retainer.

Well, that “pride” can be a bit of a problem for me too……

As expected, I’m not that much of an idiot. I’m aware that Anima has feelings for me that go beyond that of a servant to her master…… To be honest though, I’m happy she feels that way about me.

It’s just that, unnn…… Anima, on the other hand, is completely oblivious about her own feelings. Rather, she thinks that her feelings are simply affection for her Master whom she respects.

Should I say that she’s too loyal to realize that she holds feelings beyond loyalty? This is very difficult. Even now, when I’ve gone out of my way to declare that we’re on a date, she’s too serious and tries to keep her position of being my retainer at every moment.

[……Hmmm. Should I be a bit more forceful?]

[Did you say something?]

[Unnn? Well, errr…… I’m actually just admiring how cute Anima is.]

[Fueehhh!?]

[Now then, I guess it’s about time we head to the arena.]

[Eh? M- Master!? P- Please wait a moment……]

No, well, I guess I don’t have to be in that much of a hurry…… I was bewildered when she first came, but I think Anima has already become…… someone I can’t imagine without by my side.

Unless she gets tired of being by my side, we’re going to be together hereafter…… Moreover, Anima is a former black bear. Her age as a human is much younger than mine. Or rather, she isn’t even a year old.

I guess we should take our time and make progress one step at a time huh? With that thought in mind, I smiled at the confused Anima as we walked side by side, down the road to the arena.

Dear Mom, Dad————— To be honest, after I’ve lost you two…… I thought that I would never be able to feel the warmth of a family again. However, unnn…… I really don’t understand this whole master-retainer thing, nor do I know if this feeling is really the same as my love for my family. However, unnn. I wonder why though? Thinking about Anima as my family, how should I say this————– It strangely fits just right.
