I CAN’T HELP IT, I’M JUST NATURALLY PERFECT
“Omghnom! Ghomnomnom!”
With a voice like a famished animal, Bell wolfed down the food in front of him.
“…Huh. I guess you really were hungry down there, Mr. Bell…”
“…What a beast…”
Lilly’s and Hestia’s eyes went wide watching him eat.
It was after Bell had woken up following his return from the Dungeon with Lyu. Bell was whisked straight to a recovery facility at Babel, where Hermes had helped to arrange for Dea Saint, real name Amid Teasanare, to see to his critical wounds at once.
Now Bell was enjoying a long-awaited meal.
For four days and four nights, Bell had had nothing to eat or drink save what he could scrounge in the Dungeon. Right now, he could think of nothing other than shoveling food into his belly as fast as he could.
Bell was not usually a heavy eater by any means, so it was surprising to see him display such a voracious appetite. His normally docile eyes were twisted in bestial rage, and bits of meat and bread clung to his cheeks. He was so starving that Hestia and Lilly wouldn’t have been surprised to see him toss aside his fork and just begin stuffing his face with his bare hands. Then again, seeing him fill his cheeks did rather bring to mind the image of a hungry rabbit scarfing down a tasty carrot.
Hestia and Lilly felt their hearts soar! Their personal Bell Points went up by 100 each!
However, just then, the two baby-faced girls realized something.
Bell was unable to use his left arm, the one injured by Juggernaut, and was getting food all over his face as a result.
…This was the perfect chance to do something nice for Bell!
The two girls realized it at the same time and glared at each other. Sparks flew between their determined gazes.
“I’m gonna cozily feed Bell, and you can’t stop me!”
“You think I don’t see what you’re planning, Lady Hestia? I won’t let you and your inappropriate thoughts within ten meders of Mr. Bell!”
Bell munched on, blissfully unaware of the catfight brewing beneath his nose, when all of a sudden, Haruhime, who had also come to see him, stepped forward without a single ulterior motive in her mind.
“Are you all right, Master Bell?” she asked. “Hold still, you’ve got something on your face…”
“Ah…Sorry…Thank you, Ms. Haruhime…”
Holding up the left side of his body, she gently wiped his lips with a handkerchief. Bell blushed immediately. Hestia and Lilly had been soundly beaten to the punch.
““GAAAAH!””
After a moment of shock, they each toppled over backward, flabbergasted by the foxgirl’s genuine kindness and how it so thoroughly exposed their own vice.
