>...

>What's this?
>Too close...
>It's a present!

>>Phew...
>Eh? What?
>What's wrong?

>Well... I just didn't expect you to give gifts to someone...
>What's the catch?
>You want money?
>Just who do you think I am?!
>I don't want money!

p4
>Don't get the wrong idea! This isn't a present for you.

>This is for Mel-chan~!

>I heard from the manager that these flowers have a scent that beastkin are fond of~
>Hmm... Alright, I'll take it.
>Go ahead!

>What's this?
>Money for the flowers.

>I told you, that's not what I meant~!
>It's a present!
>I understand that, but...

p5
>making someone feel grateful towards you and then demanding over twice the reward tends to be your M.O.
>I'm going home.
>Uuuugh...!
>>Has a job with strict deadlines

>On yeah, the manager also said to warn you to not let her sniff the flowers too much or else...
>Tch. You found me out.

>Oh?
>She's already left.

p6
>Welcome back, Master.
>I'm home.

>Let me take your coat.
>Ah.
>Thank you.

>Phew...

>Hey, Colette...

>Up we go

>Not here, huh? Is she out shopping?

>Wah...
>What a pretty flower...
>It smells nice.

p7
>Mel?!

>Ah
>Master...
>What happened? Do you feel unwell...?
>No...
>But I do feel kinda dizzy.

>Could it be those flowers...?!
>I left them in my pocket...

p8
>Hmm...
>So there was a warning attached, huh?

>"These flowers emit a fragrance that is relaxing to beastkin,"
>"but taking in a large amount will trigger a strong reaction"...?
>...So in other words, it's similar to when humans get drunk?
>There doesn't seem to be any adverse effects, at least.

>Mel...?

p9
>Master...
>Why are you acting so spoiled all of a sudden...?
>Please play with me.
>It was lonely watching the house all by myself.

>Ooh...
>She's speaking her mind.

>Sorry sorry.
>I'm sorry for making you feel lonely.

>Ehehe.

p10
>...Master.
>I love you.

p11
>Mel, wai-...
>I love you.
>I love you
>so much, Master.

>Normally, Mel would back off from doing something this embarrassing...
>To think she'd end up like this...!

>...No, wait.

p12
>This kinda thing
>isn't too bad either.
>I think.

>Wah

p13
>Fwah
>Mm
>Mm

>Hah
>Hah

>...Ma
>ster<3
>Ooh...
>She's not upset about doing this in the day...

>Colette's not here either, so this works out perfectly...

>>Effects will wear off after 20-30 minutes.

p14
>Hm...?
>What am I...

>Hah...

>Huh...?
>Are you perhaps back to your senses?

>KYAAAAAAAH!!!

>Mel's guard was tightened for a few days after that.
>I'm sorry, Mel. I swear I'll never do that again. Please forgive me...
