She gently played with the Epic seed in her hand that seemed to begin transforming after absorbing fresh blood, and slowly said, "If I have to say, regarding a certain matter, I do have some expectations of you..."

Ophidia heard the sound behind her and realized that Herbert had already lain down beside her, even pressing against her back.
But she merely lowered her eyes slightly, then abandoned the thought of driving him away, tacitly consenting to his tentative approach towards her.
"Tch."
Finding Herbert's cautious probing movements somewhat annoying, she simply leaned back, pressing her back directly against the warm chest.
"Eh!!?"
Feeling the warmth from behind and Herbert's flustered reaction, Ophidia's lips curled slightly as she pushed his arm onto her waist with her snake tail without looking back.
From an outsider's perspective, it seemed as if Herbert had proactively wrapped his arm around Ophidia's waist.
"Hehe."
