"Master, quit messing around!"
Kiri couldn't watch this train wreck anymore and called out her master.
"Senior's about to die from guilt."
The second she finished talking, Pergina's voice rang out:
"Huh? Kiri, how'd you know?"
"!!!"
Master!
Demi's head snapped up, eyes wide as dinner plates!
She watched her master's red flesh crumble away bit by bit, turning to dust and floating off in the air, showing off pale white bones underneath.
Then fresh flesh grew back over those white bones like crazy until she looked normal again.
No... her skin was even more snow-white than before, like a newborn baby's.
"Mas... Master! You're okay!"
Demi's eyes went huge as she threw herself forward, hugging her master tight.
This soft feeling was the real deal!
She wasn't dead!
"I'm fine. Just got a little steamed, that's all!"
Pergina held her student with an annoyed look on her face.
"Master! I'm so sorry!"
