After recording the scene Bubble described, Sylvie glanced at her and said, "Very well, you've been requisitioned by the castle. You'll start work tomorrow. As for the location... it will be on the public balcony on my floor. There's a small fountain there; you can stay in it for now."

"Oh... okay..." Bubble nodded in a daze. She still couldn't leave the water, and while a fountain wasn't as free as a lake, at least she wouldn't be scooped up by a fishing net anymore.

However, due to her reserved nature, she hesitantly asked, "Can I... not go? ( ′◔ ‸◔`)"

"No."
