Overjoyed by his great discovery, Bao Bei bounced up and down with excitement.
"Hahaha. Candy made from clouds, huh? That's a funny thing to say. That's called marshmallow. I still have lots more, so shall we go over there, under the shade of that tree, and eat while watching the clouds in the sky?"

Jihl stood up with a pale and horrified expression, startling Cocoboha and Gerald, who were both in the office with him.
It was the first time they had seen Jihl express such raw emotion.
