章 551: The Emperor [Pt 2]

"O-okay, calm down. Please?"

"You know the only thing I listen to, Kuzon." The intensity all around me rose again.

A brief moment of tense silence pervaded the air, and even I found myself gulping due to the suspense.

"Um… ah, this is embarrassing…" Kuzon rubbed his hand on his face and sighed.

For some reason, it felt like he was reporting to his mother, or a superior.

That was the vibe I was getting from the boy's interaction with the Familiar.

'This is crazy!'

"Pweety Pwease?"

"Eh?"

Did Kuzon just make a cute sound, or was it only me that heard it?

I looked behind me, to see my teammates, and they were all laughing. Ana was blushing for some reason, though.

'Does she find that hot? What a weirdo.'

"Hahaha! Now that's what I like to see. Kuzon, you've sure grown, but you can never outgrow me! Hehehe." The Familiar laughed.

'I shouldn't waste this chance.'

While Kuzon was still in a flustered state, and his Familiar was conversing so casually, I had to take my shot.
