Belle got up when Subaru did. She had no reason for not going with him. If she didn’t go with him, he might think that she had just used him for food, and that was not the impression she wanted to give off. He hadn’t had to offer anything either, but he was trying to be nice. Belle didn’t want to intrude on his meeting with his friend. She didn’t know when they saw each other last.

“Well, if you’re sure. I suppose I can come along. I don’t have to be anywhere.” He still had the option of telling her no. And she didn’t mind meeting new people. It would be fun. Besides, if she was going to be here for a long time, she needed to meet more people. There was no need for her to be alone here. And Subaru had warned her that there were dangerous people here. Yes, she decided. She would stay with him as long as she was welcome. It was the most practical thing to do.
