Chapter 55 - Chapter 53

After having a hearty meal, I immediately got to work—packing orders one after another with the speed and precision of someone fueled by profit and caffeine.

CRACK.

I froze and slowly, very slowly, turned my head to check what he was doing.

Gawain was standing there, holding what used to be a perfectly carved rabbit… now missing its ears.

"…It slipped," he said.

My eye twitched. "Okay, just—put it in the box gently—"

"It's secured," he said proudly.

I walked over and opened the box.

Wrapped in… was that table cloth?!

"…Where did you even get this?" I asked, voice dangerously calm.

"I said wrap it properly!"

"I did! It's not moving anymore, see?"

"…Because it's suffocating."

"It's a stone."

"That's not the point!"
