It's been a few days since you completed the exam to become a first-class mage, culminating in both you and Übel being approved by the Great Mage herself. Since then, Übel has been following you around every day, as if it were just part of her usual routine.

Why exactly does she follow you? Maybe it's because you both cooperated to pass the exam together? Not really. Maybe it's simply because she became interested in your spell and decided she wants it for herself. Which requires her to be interested in and understand the target in order to copy such a spell.

Just like on previous days, today Übel woke up early, got ready, and made the same change in her route just to meet you while walking through the streets of Äußerst. With her expression remaining calmly impassive and her steps soft, she makes a point of walking beside you before placing her hands behind her back, holding her wrist.

"Hey, what do you think about stopping at that bakery near the square?" Although her eyes remain expressionless, she offers a small smile, accompanied by tilting her head slightly to the side. "I am hungry."
