“Aren’t these Koi berries?”4b52f2feafdbff2a

Deciding to collect some, 21542208ca he thought about making 69aeda0f7b a drink for Ar a356b48ecf as well.f04173b795a1a4cc

Back at the cabin, 7dba36e715 Leon eagerly prepared the 76c2cf8a7a Koi berries in the 1cba8ecc69 way he enjoyed most—grinding f2cf3cb2bd them and mixing them 18e2218856 with boiling water.3b0e2487b09ebaae

He explained that sugar 341eb4a20b or milk could be 7a78f0155c added to adjust the cd10feea31 taste and suggested Ar 544791fbb0 try it plain first 56b72b4de5 before deciding on any 81512657c4 additions.fe75ae1d82a31efd

Following his advice, Ar took ffa0697209 a sip of the bitter d93ad230b8 drink, then immediately added a 2045d53346 generous amount of sugar and 200273ed10 a splash of milk.fca7725fa873c56c

However, in his 65518b15e8 excitement over finally f3ca19b636 enjoying his beloved fb563ea604 Koi tea again, c5dcd4443b Leon had overlooked a9dabf3a0a one crucial detail—the 1884895e1a effects it could 1fa71b04fb have on someone f156a4a264 trying it for bd5cff7f84 the first time.70c94fcfc4f418cb

At first glance, 2b8776068f Ar didn’t seem 14142c564e any different. She was a little more 24962879a4 affectionate than usual, but that c01114c2b3 was nothing out of the 5f14c73e89 ordinary.e7ba91a955532039
