Kevin spoke.
Kallen was not surprised.
In fact, Kallen had wondered long ago: since his cat could talk, why had his dog never been able to?
It was understandable if he could not at first, but why was he still unable to speak after two layers of his seal had been lifted?
He was an evil god!
Even if he had been sealed inside a maggot rather than a dog, Kallen would have expected that maggot to be able to talk.
Perhaps looking at the matter the other way around would make it easier to find the answer.
If he spoke, it would be hard to maintain his "harmless" image.
Because he knew very well that his existence would inevitably keep Kallen on guard, and one of Alfred's eyes was always on him.
Only by becoming less of a threat would he stand a better chance of having Kallen continue undoing his seal.
Besides, Puer and Alfred could translate for him during their everyday interactions, so whether he spoke made little difference.
But this time, he spoke.
Because Puer had been captured, Alfred was still unconscious, and there was no suitable translator here, while rescuing Puer absolutely could not wait.
Actually, Kevin could have taken a gamble. He could have gambled on how, every time he finished "woofing," Kallen would ask Puer and Alfred what Kevin had said. But often, Kevin had the feeling that Kallen already seemed to understand him before hearing the translation.

This unspoken understanding might otherwise have continued, with no one knowing how long it would last, but this turn of events had broken
