"But respect isn't enough to guarantee safety." Long Yifan said with a frown, worried Gu Jin's heart might melt, and she would end up contracting this disaster.
Mimi clenched her fists and stood up.
"I know I said all the bad stuff," she said quickly, "but there are good things too! Lots of them!"
Gu Jin tilted her head. "Go on."
Long Yifan folded his arms with a sigh, clearly not convinced.
Mimi held up her hands and started counting with her fingers.
"First," she said, "we ghost beasts can pass through walls and hide in shadows. That means I can sneak into places no one else can! I'm perfect for spying, stealing keys, or escaping when things go wrong."
Gu Jin blinked. "That… does sound useful."
"Second!" Mimi said louder, getting more confident. "We don't need food or rest. I don't eat your money. I don't need a bed. You don't have to take care of me like a pet. I take care of you!"
Long Yifan muttered, "Still sounds like a creepy ghost."
Mimi ignored him.
