Oh…” (chew chew chew)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert watched Valentina’s cheeks constantly moving, ignored the grease on her lips, and said with sincere expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Valentina, you know I’ve always treated you like family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hungry Dragon on alert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no, is he trying to trick me again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, I fought hard with the higher-ups on your behalf—and won you an excellent reward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve agreed to expand your cell enough for you to revert to your true form! How exciting, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert ignored her suspicious gaze, beaming with excitement and speaking passionately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if you continue behaving well, your movement range within this zone can expand even further!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who says you must give all rewards at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plenty of room for maneuver!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when the entire Third Discipline Hall has only one employee—Herbert—juggling multiple roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Procurement?

You don’t want to revert to your true form?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert was stunned—he couldn’t understand why family members hesitated over such a great deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he been working her too hard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do want to… but reverting to my true form makes me hungrier faster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already prone to hunger; her human form let her endure longer.
