"So this is Sophie!" Adel was already fluffing Sophie's tail. Unlike before, though, Sophie let Adel do as she pleaded.
"She will be living with me from now on, so you can see her whenever you want," I said as I watched Adel from the side.
"Oh? Is Faith jealous?" Adel asked teasingly. The girl was the same age as me but was being taught bad things by the people around her. But seeing her teasing smile reminded me of the old days in the previous timeline. I stuck my tongue out, which caused her to giggle and dive into my stomach, hugging me. "Don't worry. My promise still stands. When we are old enough."
I chuckled and rubbed the top of her head. This small action alone was enough to cause the girl to fall asleep. Sophie had a gentle smile on her face as she looked at Adel. "She never changes."
