That ball of rainbow fluff stood stiffly in the middle of the kitchen counter, complex emotions churning in its black-bean eyes.
Her confusion faded, and the memories belonging to Feng Luan, a UR Contract Spirit, surged back like a tide.
Everything that had happened after she hatched flashed through her mind frame by frame.
Being fed, being teased in circles with jerky, having meat placed somewhere she could not reach...
What sent her blood pressure soaring most was that the guy who called himself her teacher had actually given her a name—Xiao Feng.
Xia Yuan, in Satoru Gojo form, lounged against the counter. Hearing the question, a teasing curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh? Kunkun finally woke up?"
The entire dining room fell silent.
Mo Shiyu's glass of juice hung in midair, her expression frozen.
Xiao Hei went rigid on the edge of the table, the tip of its tail trembling slightly.
The four maids all gasped in unison, while Future, in the corner, buried her entire face in the cushion.
The moment Feng Luan heard the two words "Kunkun," her eyes, which had gradually regained their spirit, flew wide open.
"What... did... you... call... me?"
"Kunkun, of course." Xia Yuan looked completely justified and even reached out to rub the tuft of rainbow fluff atop Feng Luan's head.
"What a cute name. It suits your appearance perfectly."
Feng Luan exploded. She flapped her wings hard, rainbow light surging around her as her tiny body shot into the air and charged straight at Xia Yuan's face.
She looked like a cannonball fired from a barrel.
Except she was only the size of a watermelon.
When that round ball of rainbow fluff slammed toward Xia Yuan, it looked less like an attack and more like an angry furball
