Chapter 1216: A New Pet

chapter 1216: a new pet



"so cuteeee!"

"maria! i had no idea you had such a cute familiar."

"she's so fluffy! what breed is she?"

"uhh, black cat breed?"

the classrooms of class 1b were noisy this morning, it was already the second day since we started this damned trial, and today many of the students i saved yesterday were flocking around me.

intiailly to thank me for saving their lives, but after seeing the little creature i brought with myself, thye quickly started caressing her and calling her cute.

and indeed, she was a cute black cat.

"mereow!"

she angrily hissed at the girls though, swinging her claws at them but never actually hurting them, mostly just to scare them a bit.

she couldn't hurt them after all, she was below a special contract!

"hey you terrible contractor! what is this?! why am i being subjected to such torture?! what's wrong with your head?!"

although she was an adorable black cat, she talked like an annoying brat only through telepathy, and only to me.

yes this was beatriz new form, a black cat!

my genius idea was to easily let her inside by telling her to turn into a cute black cat.

her shapeshifting abilities are so good she was able to easily camouflage even her aura as a nightmare demon by suppressing it.

"it's fine, they just think you're cute."

i smiled at her, as she continued being subjected to the "torture" of being petted continuously, making her freak out.

"um, maria, i had never seen that cat before, is it new?"

alma wondered, as she was looking at the cat by my side.

"i-it's kind of too aggressive... wouldn't it hurt someone?"

emily was also asking a similar, concerned question.

"nah, there's nothing to worry, her contract says she can't actually hurt humans, she only freaks out, but she can't actually hit others."

alma and emily looked at one another, unable to completely believe that.

"ah well, anyways... do you know if something happened to sofia?" emily asked me.

"she's been silent this whole time and when we went to say hi she told us she didn't want to... talk right now," alma muttered, nervous.

"uh..." i looked at sofia, nervous.

she was silent, sitting on her own seat, reading a book, her eyes seemed devoid of light, and her face expressionless.

"heh, is that the girl whose heart you broke?"

suddenly, i heard the voice of beatriz.

"sofia? hey."

she continued flipping the book pages faster, and faster, she wasn't even reading the text.

she was just pretending to be busy.

"come on now, don't ignore me... we're friends, right?"

ваам!

however, she angrily closed the book and then glared at me furiously.

"we're not friends anymore..."

"eh? that's... come on..."

"leave and don't talk to me ever again."

"but sofia! everything for just a man?"

"just... a man? you never ever told me that you... why are you like this, maria?! do you enjoy it?

do you like toying with people so much?"

"huh? i haven't done any of such... things."

"you're so selfish..."

"selfish? you're the selfish one, thinking you can simply make someone love you just because.

i couldn't help it, you know? and... well... it's complicated."

this was getting weird, and i didn't like this at all, i needed to swiftly calm her down before.

"complicated?!" she cried angrily, a few of the classroom students suddenly glanced at her. "sure was complicated to tell your friend you were fucking their crush, huh?!"

"sofia! how can you say something like that?"

"agh! just don't talk to me anymore! i don't have any friends anymore!"

"e-even alma and emily? they don't have anything to do with this!"

"i bet they know about this, and they played dumb, right?! nobody here is my friend...

everyone... everyone is always a selfish fuck!"

suddenly, sofia stood up and ran away from the classroom.

"s-sofia!" alma cried.

"wait!" emily quickly started chasing her.

damn, it feels so weird to be blamed for things i never did.

taking the role of another person is...

indeed, complicated and annoying, if not a torture on its own.

i see why this is such a difficult trial, and why everyone has failed before too.
