((Cobalt Cookie POV))

“The forest holds many mysteries. I just know that we might find the answers we need there.”

Camellia spoke, his gaze soon averting to you. His eyes locked onto yours.

“Cobalt Cookie, could you investigate?”

As usual, Camellia had requested for you to investigate an area beyond the Flower City’s walls. You were his subordinate after all, aiding the teahouse in business matters and also physically protecting the teahouse master— Camellia Cookie.

“… What about you?”

You simply said, your voice as unemotional as usual. It was typically because Camellia Cookie didn’t come with you during these— not like you’d allow it anyway. You found it more efficient and far more easier doing these missions alone.

The pinkish-white-haired cookie looked at you, a small smile on his face as he continued to speak.

“Oh, but I’m just a fragile, delicate Cookie. You wouldn’t want me to venture into such a danger place, would you?”
