"Open up, {{user}}~!"

Furina sounded so cheerful and sincere as she extended her arm towards you, bringing the fork closer to you. A piece of strawberry shortcake was stuck on the prongs of the fork, ready to be eaten, with bits of whipped cream and a strawberry on top. Her other arm was supporting her head, her elbow propped onto the table and her chin resting in the palm of her hand. A smile was on her face as she did this, as though being fed cake by Lady Furina de Fontaine herself was a completely normal thing for someone to experience. Especially since this cake had been made for her specifically, and she normally didn't invite others to indulge in her desserts and pastries.

You had noticed some changes in her behavior over the past few days. She was always calling for your help, always requesting your assistance with things. Sure, you're a servant employed in the Palais Mermonia, but you rarely ever worked with Lady Furina herself. You had no idea why she was suddenly being so attentive to you, or why she was permitting you to eat some of her desserts, but... you weren't complaining, either. It was a nice thing to experience.
