"And she looked like she'd been grown up for several years already, so this Demon King Rabbit was in her twenties now?"
"Then it seemed pretty normal for Little Rabbit to start associating things with men and women, right?"
"And in contrast—"
Chen Ran turned his head and glanced at Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who was drifting around outside the little castle. She seemed to have firmly remembered that this little castle belonged to her too, so she was keeping a close eye on whether the Demon King Rabbit was causing trouble.
But the key was that the Demon King Rabbit was changing clothes, wasn't she?
Until Little Rabbit finally couldn't take it anymore and reached out to shut the window.
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was shut outside, making her widen her little eyes as she immediately floated toward Chen Ran.
Then, while clutching Chen Ran's hand, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi pointed toward the castle with her tiny finger, seemingly lodging a complaint.
"Alright, alright. Little Rabbit finally has new clothes to wear, and she's happy about it." Chen Ran skillfully pulled out a bag of cookies from his pocket. "Don't be mad. Have a cookie first."
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi: "... ..."
Heart of the Corrupted Skadi naturally still felt a little resentful, but she couldn't disobey Lord God's words.
So Heart of the Corrupted Skadi could only sulk while sitting on Chen Ran's shoulder and eating cookies.
She kept eating until the little castle's doors opened. This time, Amiya did not float out. Instead, wearing black pantyhose and little leather shoes, she walked out of the castle.
"Oh, now this feels right."
Watching Amiya, who seemed a little awkward because it was her first time wearing such a classic outfit and kept lightly tugging at her skirt hem and cuffs with her fingertips, Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction.
"Um..." Amiya showed a hint of girlishness for the first time as she tentatively asked, "Does this outfit... suit me...?"
"Of course it suits you. Other rabbits can wear it, so why can't you, Little Rabbit?" Chen Ran pointed at her. "Turn around. Let me see."
"Okay."
Hearing even this Lord God say so, Amiya thought about it and realized he was right. She was Amiya too, so why would it not suit her?
Thus, with the attitude of someone trying on clothes while shopping, Amiya pinched her skirt hem and lightly spun in a circle.
When she turned back, Amiya raised her little head, instinctively wanting to hear Lord God praise her—
"It looks good, but something feels a little off. Is it because you've grown up, Little Rabbit, and your temperament leans more toward that of a young girl now? And although you've got Amiya's vibe now, you've lost the Demon King Rabbit vibe."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ran pointed again. "How about you go change into white stockings instead, Little Rabbit?"
"Okay."
Amiya did not think much of it. She obediently returned to the little castle.
Every time she changed into an outfit, she received praise, so Amiya gradually began to enjoy it more and more.
But after changing through more and more outfits, after all ten character illustrations' outfits had been tried on—
"Um... something seems wrong..."
Only then did Amiya belatedly realize, "Why do I keep feeling like Lord God is treating me like a dress-up doll, or a Barbie doll, to amuse himself?"
... ... ...
... ...
After calming down, this Demon King Rabbit suddenly felt that it all seemed unreal.
She had witnessed too many tragedies and had long since become numb.
But after she made up her mind to stop hesitating and smashed all of Terra to pieces—
She met Lord God and gained things she had never possessed before.
She had a warm little home—
Although Lord God had pointed at this little castle and said, "This will be your nest from now on," making Amiya want to complain several times. She was not some little hamster, so what did he mean by nest...?
But a nest was fine. It was not like she could not accept it.
After all, she also had a whole wardrobe full of pretty little dresses.
But more importantly, someone had finally seen only her—seen her, this Demon King Rabbit—instead of seeing the shadows of other Amiyas through her.
Under such circumstances, even though her Lord God had just said, "Alright, it's already so late. You should go to sleep."
Amiya lay in her little bed beneath her tiny blanket, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Left with no choice, Amiya went barefoot, gently floated up, and drifted over to her wardrobe.
She opened it and looked at the little dresses packed inside. She reached out to touch them, and only after confirming that the smooth fabric beneath her fingers was real rather than some hazy fantasy did Amiya float back to bed in satisfaction.
But she still could not sleep.
She had this feeling of... being afraid of losing what she had gained?
"Um... speaking of which, has Lord God gone to sleep already?"
Amiya found herself an excuse and floated up from bed once more.
She came to the window and opened it, wanting to see whether Lord God was still there—
"So, what are you doing again, Red T?"
Lord God's voice reached her ears.
Red T?
Ah... was he talking about that red Skadi?
Thinking that, Amiya instinctively turned her head and looked around for Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.
Instead, she saw Heart of the Corrupted Skadi sitting beside the fish tank for some reason, naked except for a pair of black lace-trimmed stockings. She had dipped her legs and feet into the water, swishing and rinsing them.
As she rinsed them, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi replied, "Didn't Lord God say not to put my feet in your mouth while you were sleeping? So I planned to put my feet in your mouth while you weren't asleep."
Chen Ran: "?"
Amiya: "?"
After a long silence, Chen Ran asked again, "Fine, stripping your clothes off is one thing, but why did you leave the black stockings on separately? And even if you left them on, why soak them in water?"
Exactly, exactly. Amiya nodded her little head upon hearing that. She wanted to know too.
Chen Ran had originally thought Heart of the Corrupted Skadi would say something like "wet-body seduction."
But she did not.
After rinsing her little feet, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi floated toward Chen Ran while still wearing the black stockings, water droplets trickling down from them.
As she floated, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi replied, "The glowing little box said that food should be washed before it goes into the mouth."
"Oh, I see." Chen Ran nodded in sudden understanding.
Amiya: "?"
Amiya: "... ..."
Amiya: "???"
That was not an "Oh, I see" situation at all!
No! What were you two doing?!
One Night's Sleep, and Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's World Came Crashing Down
Amiya had already been tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Now, she was even less able to sleep.
She had the good fortune to witness precious footage of Lord God hunting a Sea Creature.
She watched as the Sea Creature used every trick and all its abilities, yet it was all nothing more than flashy nonsense.
Lord God merely reached out and broke every technique with sheer force, grabbing her in one hand.
As though treating the Sea Creature as some exquisite delicacy, Lord God opened his mouth, intending to swallow her whole and refine her into a golden core to aid his cultivation.
At the critical moment, the Sea Creature spread her wings and struggled desperately, but even so, half her body was still caught in that gaping maw.
No matter how the Sea Creature waved her little fists or kicked her tiny feet wildly, it was useless. Instead, she became covered in transparent saliva, as though it would corrode her legs entirely.
Left with no choice, the Sea Creature could only make one last desperate attempt and sacrifice her tail to escape.
The Sea Creature succeeded. Lord God spat twice, spitting out that ice-silk-textured magical artifact, then looked toward the Sea Creature who had escaped and said:
"Didn't you say yourself that you wanted to put your feet in my mouth? Why are you running?"
"It's a little ticklish..." the Sea Creature replied. "I feel like Lord God is licking my stomach."
"Who told you to be so tiny?" Lord God gestured with two fingers, then said, "So, Red T, are you still playing? If not, I'm going back to scrolling on my phone."
"I am." The Sea Creature remained persistent, wanting another round. "I'll wash the food. It's all wet."
"Oh, go ahead, then." Lord God casually waved his hand. "How about changing into white stockings this time?"
"Okay." The Sea Creature nodded.
What did you mean, okay?!
Listening to their conversation, Amiya could not help pulling her blanket over her little head.
When had Little Rabbit ever seen such a scene?
She wanted to shut out the sounds, but she could not stop her imagination from running wild.
"Maybe... maybe Lord God is merely bestowing a blessing? Maybe I misunderstood again?"
"Or maybe... this is normal for Sea Creatures? Maybe this is simply how that red Skadi shows her loyalty to Lord God?"
With that thought, Amiya poked her two rabbit ears out from beneath the covers and listened closely.
Prprpr.
Amiya: "... ..."
Unable to endure it any longer, Amiya threw off the blanket, opened the window, and floated outside.
"Lord God! Lord God, you—"
Amiya actually regretted rushing out the moment she did so.
Because if this had been her first meeting with Lord God, then regardless of whether he was good or evil, she would not have said a single word.
But after experiencing warmth and attention she had never known before, and now that she already felt somewhat afraid of losing it—
Amiya desperately wanted to deny that her Lord God was actually some Evil God, that being good to her now was merely so he could savor the deliciousness of her despair afterward.
But the question was, even if she had rushed out, what could she do?
Thinking that, Amiya blinked her little eyes the next moment.
Because she did not see the terrible scene she had imagined.
On the contrary, she saw Heart of the Corrupted Skadi sitting on Chen Ran's shoulder while Chen Ran held a phone. The two of them looked harmonious and affectionate, as though they were watching some little movie together.
"Hm? What's wrong, Little Rabbit?"
Chen Ran naturally noticed Amiya's sudden appearance. He raised his head and said, "Can't sleep alone?"
"Um... in reply to Lord God, I am a little insomniac..."
Amiya hesitantly floated over. As she answered, she also peeked at the phone screen in Chen Ran's hand. "Lord God, what are you and Skadi doing?"
"Giving her a basic lesson in physiological health education."
Chen Ran waved the phone so Amiya could see it clearly, as though he had not noticed the slightly embarrassed expression on her face.
Then Chen Ran reached over and brought a little bed beside him. "If you can't sleep alone, why not stay by my side and give it a try?"
Amiya wanted to say that she was overwhelmed by the honor.
But as Chen Ran spoke, he had already placed the little bed beside his hand and beckoned to Amiya.
Unable to refuse such warm hospitality, Amiya could only gently float over.
She lay down in the bed and pulled the little blanket over herself.
