"Let's wash up before we eat. You smell so bad."
Jude pushed her face away with his hand.
"Is that how you treat a woman? By calling her stinky?"
He wanted to ask whether she was really a woman, given her shameless behavior, but since he seemed to have gone a bit too far, he swallowed the question. There had to be a reason she insisted on wearing uncomfortable clothes and high heels at the end of the world, right?
When she sniffed her armpits, she instantly frowned. Then she sat down on the floor and looked at him with puppy eyes.
"Are you going to make a fragile girl like me wash her body with cold water in this cold winter?"
If the Ghoul Queen in front of him was a fragile girl, then he was an innocent kindergartener.
"Wait a minute. I'll get you some warm water."
"Yes!"
When Jude brought a round barrel from the cave, Ilaria's eyes went round. "Oh my gosh. Why do you have this?"
"The more you prepare, the easier the future will be."
