"Oho?" I looked at Armageddon. "Is that so? Really? Really? Wow! She sure is a good mother!"
"Eugh! E-Enough! What are you even trying to accomplish with this?!" Armageddon hissed at me. "Festerliel, sit down already."
"Ok~!" Festerliel ran toward her seat.
We were left staring at each other in an awkward silence for a moment.
"I thought you were ruthless and that bonds were unnecessary?"
"W-What?! I never… well…" she groaned. "I am simply adapting! If even the gods build bonds with stupid little mortals to expand their power, then I am trying the same. I feel nothing, of course! This is all coldly calculated for my long-term benefit! With just a thought, I can easily slaughter them all if I want!"
"Hahaha, suuuure," I said. "That's why you let her snuggle with you at night?"
"S-Shut up!" she cried angrily.
I suspected it was because of our bond. As master and familiar, part of my memories and emotions flowed into her, and vice versa.
