When it was a little awkward, a faint smile came to my lips.

“Do you like animals?”

I heard Cass’ voice.

“They’re less complicated than a person.”

I answered while looking at Blue Wing.

[The God of Destruction, Ciel, likes your answer.]

People and animals were different. Because they didn’t betray with shallow calculations, and there were many things to repay as much as I gave affection.

Jjae-Rok, the one that I raised in my past life, also gave me a little comfort.

“I told you. Lloyd is the safest companion.”

“And we’re also the fastest companion.”

“Pardon?”

“Because Lloyd has a map with all the shortcuts in the world.”
