Ivy sighed softly. "I still have instant noodles."
"We can eat twenty more," they replied without hesitation.
Ivy fell silent for a moment before waving her hand again. Hot water appeared, steam rising into the air.
After twenty more bowls of instant noodles, Moona and Maxi finally leaned back slightly.
"We won't feel hungry for the next two hours," they said together.
Ivy did not respond immediately. They ate as if tomorrow did not exist.
At first, she thought it was simply hunger. Now, she suspected something else.
Since they had become half-zombies, their appetite had likely increased far beyond that of normal humans.
Perhaps it was connected to the endless hunger of zombies themselves, creatures that continued to devour even after consuming an entire human.
Lost in thought, Ivy suddenly heard them speak again.
"So," Maxi asked, "what about the contract?"
By now, Moona and Maxi felt far more relaxed around Ivy.
