Child Ghost was left speechless.
It felt that what this human had said was wrong.
Yet for a moment, it didn't know how to argue back.
At first, it hadn't understood, but after hearing him out, it had more or less figured it out.
This human wasn't going to agree to its request.
Then...
Child Ghost lowered its head even further, making it hard to see the expression on its face.
The air around it grew more and more oppressive.
Even the air seemed to grow thick and sluggish.
"Chirp?!"
Child Ghost lifted its face, its features nearly twisted together.
The surging aura around it had no strength left to sustain it and soon dissipated completely.
Xiao Xiao withdrew the finger he'd used to flick Child Ghost on the forehead.
A faint golden light flickered at his fingertip.
"Child Ghost, constantly trying to blow yourself up... isn't a good habit."
Xiao Xiao wore a half-smile.
Having learned from last time, he'd paid special attention to Child Ghost's movements this time.
He wanted to make sure it didn't get another taste of success and try the same thing again.
As expected, he'd been right.
This monster was trying to escape by blowing itself up again.
"Hmph~"
Little White Fox snorted, its eyes half-lidded. "If you've got the guts, then really blow yourself up."
"What's the point of always bluffing?"
"Useless thing."
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and glanced at Little White Fox.
Little White Fox had already closed its eyes, acting as though it hadn't said anything.
Xiao Xiao shook his head, finding it amusing.
Child Ghost's eyes widened.
Th-this fox... could talk?!
Child Ghost carefully sensed it again.
A puzzled look appeared on its face.
It didn't sense the presence of a fellow monster.
It probably...
