Getting back to his room the four petrified girls were still there as they were not moving... at least again it seemed. Well that was what he would have thought at first glance but clearly there was one of them that had moved once again and that was Rebecca this time around.

Having somehow found where he was stashing food in his room and was now holding in front of herself almost in a manner that seem meant to be in a way as if she were presenting it to Asta. That was the appearence that she was giving off at the moment.
Causing more question he could not answer at the moment to pop up.

"Can not figure anything out if I am hungry" he said as he than went to take the food from Rebecca's hands.

As to why he would even eat something that a statue (even a statue of someone he knew) had managed to not only move but find something they had no business knowing it's location. Led back to when he woke up and found Mimosa over top of him as he was fully sure what was going on with anyone but he just had a hunch at what was happening and was going with that. After all if they would move somehow in their petrified state and wanted to cause him harm. Than when he was out cold or not looking would be the perfect time to do so. Since that was not happening whatever or however they became animated was not in a manner to cause harm to him seemingly.

While he was chowing down on the food, his grimore began to glow as a pair of curved, ram-like horns appeared on the head of the petrified Noelle. She than began to move and activates her valkyrie dress. The key difference her besides Noelle being a statue and having horns on her head.

The water is not blue but black in color along with the fact that the grimore open is not hers but his. In fact he could not see the grimore of anyone else other than his own. It made since for Rebecca not to have one as she just did not seem to have gone through the grimore selection process or merely did not find a usage for it. As not everyone that could use magic necessary had a grimore of their very own.

Could dwell on this fact for that long though as quickly strike out with her lance at the floor stabbing through and what appeared to be the another statue completely destroying their torso in the process. The animated Noelle statue enlarged their lance so that would be outcome of their attack.

Once having completed the task they went to stand directly next to Asta thus put themselves between him and Rebecca. Even going so far as to take the leftover food at her hand and shoving in Asta's face before the horns on her horn vanish and she goes motionless once again.
