Moonshiki, the Brat

No sooner had Otsutsuki Tsukishiki finished speaking than Saint Gigue's voice drifted over.

"You're so small, so stop trying to scare people."

Tsukishiki froze at his words. She abruptly turned around and saw Gigue slowly flying toward her, but there was no sign of Otsutsuki Cangshiki.

"Not at all. You're a bit arrogant... well, what people call tsundere. In my eyes, you're basically just a brat with a little more strength. At most, I want to beat you up. I don't want to kill you."

"..."

Tsukishiki gritted her teeth until they creaked, her shoulders trembling slightly. She did not know what was wrong with
