"What kind of reward is this, all shrouded in mystery," Pannis found Flare's reaction very odd. In his memory, Her Majesty the Queen should never respond to his words this way. Yet, in truth, the Queen's reaction was the best possible scenario for him, so he could only respond with inexplicable bewilderment, "And now you want me to close my eyes? Don't tell me you've also picked up on Catherine's schemes."
"Hm?" Flare was taken aback, asking meaningfully, "What does this have to do with Catherine? Could it be that the little girl has done something? Oh~~, I think I understand now. Hehe, no wonder you ran faster than a wind leopard."
"Cough cough, you've understood nothing," Pannis coughed a few times with an embarrassed expression, pretending not to care as he asked, "What exactly is the reward you want to give me, and why must I close my eyes?"
"You'll know soon enough," insisted Flare uncompromisingly, "Hurry up, close your eyes, and stretch out your hand."
