“Oh...That works...”

She gratefully accepted the magic crystal, and did as instructed to make it nice and cold...then put it right on her forehead.

And in that moment, Kagerou would suddenly grow in size. Her features became more bestial in appearance, and her claws grew long and intimidating. Furthermore, her aura radiated raw power and ferocity, granting but a glimpse into her wolfish form. 

But then, it would all fade away... Kagerou wasn’t wanting to completely terrify the child with her wolf form. 

“Um…I’m not sure I can just give the food the inn makes away for hugs.”

“Oh, well, I could um... do some work for food, then? I’m good at stoking fires and I can do some cooking too, just nothing complex!”

“Heck!”

“... Thanks.”

A plate of eggs was literally all she could afford from the inn, but once she got them she couldn’t help but think of how pathetic a plate of just three eggs probably looked. She just... didn’t feel like cooking for herself.
