Turning off the shower valve, putting on some clothes, and drying my wet hair with a towel, I headed back to my room and jumped on my bed.
-Pamf!
"haaa..."
As I felt my body sink into the white mattress, I exhaled and relaxed my body.
I was honestly quite tired.
Training for four hours with Donna really took a toll on me...but if I had to be honest, I didn't dislike the feeling..
Even though after every session it felt as though all my bones had been broken, the feeling of continuously finding my strength improving overwrote all of the pain and suffering I felt.
...it was honestly addicting.
Staring at the white ceiling of my room for a couple of seconds, recalling something, and lifting my head up, I stared towards the corner of the room where a black cat quietly rested on the seat of a chair.
After hesitating for a second, I spoke up
"Hey Angelica, can you turn into something other than a cat?"
Turning her head in my direction, Angelica warily asked
"Why are you asking?"
"No, I'm just curious"
Squinting her eyes suspiciously, Angelica nodded her head
"Yes, but I won't be able to turn back for a week"
"A week? That long?"
"Yes, the skill has a cool-down period"
"I see.."
That made sense.
With how strong her skill was it was understandable that it had a cooldown period.
If she could change into whatever she wanted without a cooling period, I wouldn't be surprised if she told me that her skill was an ranked one.
It would honestly be that strong.
Seeing my reaction, Angelica became even more suspicious as she asked
"...why are you asking me this?"
Turning my attention back to Angelica I casually replied
"Ohh, it's because I might need you to change into something else"
To put it bluntly, I wanted to bring Angelica to Immorra with me.
No, I needed her to come to Immorra with me.
With her being a demon, it was only natural that I brought her along with me. Although I wasn't sure about whether she had ever been to Immorra, I needed her for a specific task.
One that would involve her demonic powers...
In fact, if Angelica didn't come with me, the plans that I had been preparing for the past two months would go down the drain.
...that's how important her participation was. Therefore, I needed her to change into something else other than a cat as it wouldn't really be ideal for the environment we were going to be in.
Hearing my answer, Angelica shook her head and firmly denied
"No"
It was already humiliating enough for her to be a cat, now he wanted her to change into something else?
No.
Angelica wouldn't stand for this.
"No what?"
"No, I will not turn into something else. Don't push your luck human"
Frowning, I protested.
