"Meow—ow!"
Jiang Han flashed aside, dodging Histeria's little paw as it reached for her head. She huddled off to one side, staring wide-eyed like a cat and glaring fiercely at her Master Xi.
Xiya, dressed in an Alice-style girl's outfit, withdrew her paw and gave a hehehaha laugh, covering her mouth.
This was already the sixth time today she had tried to pet Jiang Han's cat ears, only for Jiang Han to dodge away.
Lin Zhaojun, seated in the lounge, lowered her newspaper and asked in a cool tone:
"Did you offend her?"
She had done more than offend the cat! The cat's brain had practically been roasted!
Jiang Han remembered that spell!
After that evil cat-abusing spell—the cat said so!—ended, Angelite had no choice but to take out her brain and cool it down. A Witch's core was her spinal cord, after all. But when they took it out and looked at it—good grief! It was nearly scorched!
That was serious cat abuse. No question about it.
"...I-I wouldn't exactly say I offended her?" Xiya gave an ingratiating smile.
Jiang Han glared back and shook her head.
The next second, a cat's keen sixth sense kicked in. In an instant, she flashed behind Lin Zhaojun's sofa, once again making Histeria's outstretched paw miss as Jiang Han turned her head.
"Stop dodging," Xiya complained.
"No way." Jiang Han stuck out her tongue and nimbly slipped over beside Kraken, who was puffing her cheeks as she worked on her research project.
Because of Kraken's poor performance a couple of days ago, Kraken had suddenly had something to deal with at home, so Miyamoto Mo Na had been sent in to test the waters.
Still, Jiang Han thought it was unfair. Fighting Greedy Umbrella and fighting other teams were completely different levels
