The second day of the development trial (part 8)
Now that the black horse was assigned to one of the "big sisters", Espi let go of its neck to then jump into the air, landing on Aster's back to then hang from his neck, she was basically hugging Aster the same way Kana did a second ago.
"Hissss~", naturally that earned the little wyrm a head pat from Aster, which made her cutely hiss in response, unfortunately for the black horse at least, seeing others getting spoiled by Aster while she has to be separated from him, stirred Alice's jealousy, luckily, she now had someone to vent her anger on.
After Espi had let go of his neck, for a fraction of a second the black horse thought of making a run for his life, but before he could order his legs to move, his instincts made his body freeze on the spot.
