Eva hesitated before answering, "Well… we do have a service called Arion Dash…"
My eyes lit up. "Perfect! Then let's just have them deliver it!"
For a brief, glorious moment, I felt proud of my problem-solving skills. Crisis averted! No need to step into the Between Realms again!
But instead of agreeing, Eva just… looked at me. Her expression was unreadable—somewhere between pity and exasperation.
"…What?" I asked, my excitement fading.
"I'm one of the Arion Dash riders."
The room fell into dead silence.
Jiuge blinked. "Wait… so when you ride that Arion horse everywhere, it's not because you just like riding—it's your job?"
Eva sighed. "Yes, I have a side gig delivering things."
Agnos choked on a laugh. "You?! The same person who lectured us about 'commitment to duty' when searching for the missing creatures has been secretly running a food delivery side hustle this whole time?!"
"I was committed! I just needed the extra cash!" Eva shot back, her face turning red.
