Chapter 100
“Well, you see, Luda only had a limited time to live. And I didn’t like that. So I told him to take me and wear me instead. That way, he could endure within this time, withstand the cold, and rest comfortably. And then… little by little, he started changing.
He’s not the prettiest like this, but he’s well protected and sturdy, so I think it turned out okay! Don’t you agree?”
“…What do you mean by ‘take you and wear you’?”
“Well, originally, we were things that Master had kept for a long time.
I was Master’s cloak!”
“Oh.”
Only then did Roina recall Lutan’s words—that the northern fragment was a cloak.
So the fragments were items she had possessed in her past life.
That was new information.
Had he worn the cloak, and over time, transformed into what he was now?
The massive yeti was entirely covered in white fur, making it impossible to discern what he had originally looked like.
Roina tried to imagine what Luda must have been before.
Perhaps he had been a man who lost his beloved.
“Then… is there no way for him to return to how he was?”
“He can return once the wish is fulfilled and the contract ends!”
“That wish… is for the sick woman to be healed, right?”
“Yes!”
Quies beamed brightly.
But Roina felt a strange sense of unease.
She silently observed Quies, who had been so openly expressive just moments ago—chatting away and revealing every emotion without hesitation.
Now, however, she seemed… different.
“Quies, there’s something you’re not telling me, isn’t there?”
The moment Roina spoke, Quies’ face stiffened in alarm.
It seemed she had hit the mark.
The fairy hesitated, then quickly darted into the petals of a large peony blooming nearby, hiding within its folds.
