Page 21 Epilogue: Something to Value

(Second Opening Theme: Sunday's Without God Opening-Birth Performed Kitamura Eri)

For the rest of the day, it had been more exhausting then Prism thought. She thought she had been ready for what Meroleona had to offer. She thought it would be virtually the same as the treatment she's been getting from Yami.

Needless to say, she wasn't at all prepared.

By the time she returned to the safehouse, she had collapsed onto the bed, as she could feel her arms aching, like they were about to fall off.

She could only groan as she could still feel her arms ache from today's training.

"Everything hurts... So much..." She groaned as her voice had been muffled, since her whole face had been on the mattress.

Adrien had been by her side as he only whimpered; he started to lick her arms as she could feel the aches had been relieved, "Thanks bud... That feels way better..." The Spirits soon floated to her shoulders as she could feel all the tensions in her muscles start to release.

"Bime i elena that feels so good... " Prism said, "... You Sweetums really do know what I need..."

"So--These little guys really respond to what you're thinking?" Theodore asked curiously, before his eyes shifted to green, "What powerful minions you have!"

"Yeah--" Prism replied, "--It's been like that since I was a baby. Though they're not my minions, they're my friends."

"Aww, you're friends!!" Theodore said as his eyes were pink before they shifted to blue as his tone changed, "That's okay too I guess..."

Prism only giggled at Theodore's response as he rolled over on the pillow. It was then she heard a knock on the door. "It's open." She soon said.

She could hear the door creak open before a familiar voice came over her.

"Hey Pri--"

She picked up her head from the mattress to see it had been Asta. She noticed he had been carrying a tray of food, as she could pick up the familiar scent of potatoes.

"Asta--" She said, "--Is that, what I think it is?"

"Yep, it's a pot potato pie! I was in charge of the food today, and I found the potatoes in the market with Pluck!" He replied, "It might not be exactly what Sister Lily makes, but I hope you like it!"

Prism had been touched by this, "Aww Asta--You cooked it yourself?"

"Well--I had a little help from Karasu." Asta replied sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Either way--It still looks delicious." Prism said with a smile as she sat up.

She soon took a piece that had been pre cut before taking a bite out of it. Almost afterwards, her eyes started to sparkle.

"It's so yummy!" She said gleefully.

"It's not bad?" Asta asked, a bit worried.

"Of course not, it's really good!" She said before she cut a piece, "Theo, you want one?"

"Yeah, sure, gimme!!" Theodore said as his tail started to sway. He took a piece before eating it whole--His own eyes started to sparkle as his tail wagged harder.

"IT'S WONDERFUL..." He said tearfully as his eyes were pink.

Asta couldn't help but laugh, "I'm glad you two like it! I wasn't sure I did a good job, since I--" He soon looked a little embarrassed, "--Never actually baked anything before.
