Chapter 42: Settling in the household.

As Ethan strolled down the corridor towards his first task of the day in the household, his keen senses detected a mischievous presence nearby. Glancing to the side, he spotted two playful children, Jon and Iki, attempting to conceal themselves against the wall, their innocent eyes filled with anticipation.

With a deliberate pause in his stride, Ethan gracefully pivoted on his heel, fully acknowledging the young duo observing him. A cautious glance left and right confirmed that no prying eyes were present, allowing him to proceed with his impromptu plan.

In a sudden surge of creativity, he conjured a mischievous smile, akin to a sly fox plotting its next move. The air seemed to tingle with excitement as Ethan, filled with playful spirit, unleashed a vocalization that echoed through the hallway—a monstrous roar that erupted from his vocal cords, reverberating off the walls.
