The heavy rain battered the rooftops and didn't seem to show any signs of slowing down. According to the time, it should have almost been light outside, but there was nothing other than the misty blanket of rain that obscured everything.
Spring rains before dawn were always nice and calming. Listening to the rain outside, sitting by a fireplace and enjoying a cup of hot cocoa that truly warmed the body made that fierce battle just earlier seem only a dream… Alright then, let's pretend that the Dragon Knight Archduke who was glaring at me didn't exist. Meanwhile, I was quite angry at the fact that nobody gave me a cup of hot cocoa. This was clear discrimination against the undead!
"Even if you received one, would you be able to drink it? If someone really gave you one, wouldn't you just complain that they were making fun of you?"
"Silly cat, leave your cup for me."
"Heh heh, don't even think about it!"
