"Really? Every time I fed Napoleon cookies, it never resisted, so I thought it really liked them..."

Yui Yuigahama, who suddenly learned the truth of the world, was greatly shocked.

She glared angrily at the small snake in Asakura's hand, and the small snake tilted its head and began to play dead.

Only Gokou Ruri was confused, feeling like she had been excluded, and couldn't help but ask, "What space?"

"It's a bit troublesome to explain, but if I actually do it..."

Asakura mumbled, taking down a bright gray ceremonial sword, about sixty centimeters long, from the shelf.

This was also a reward from the Nameless Magic Book. Because it was quite eye-catching and difficult to carry around, the sword itself had no special abilities; it simply had excellent Magic conductivity and could be used as a wand to assist in casting spells. Considering how conspicuous it would be to carry a short sword around in modern society, it was essentially more of a craft item than a weapon.

Both the overall length of the ceremonial sword and the width of its hilt were considerably larger than the small snake.

Asakura pinched the small snake at its seven-inch mark, once again forcing it to open its mouth, then inserted the sword hilt, which was even larger than the snake's head, into it.

The small snake's head comically transformed to roughly the same shape as the sword hilt, and then its originally slender body behind its head was also somewhat distorted by the short sword.

Just as Yui Yuigahama was about to look away, unable to bear Asakura bullying Napoleon any further, the small snake suddenly swallowed with a gulp, defying physical rules by completely swallowing the ceremonial sword, which was much larger than its body.

Even its body returned to its original slender form, and it was casually flicking its crimson tongue.

"It... it swallowed it! How do you feel, Asakura-kun?" Yui Yuigahama was so surprised that she spoke without thinking.

"Try to make it spit out the sword," Asakura said, tossing the small snake back to Yui Yuigahama.

The latter hastily caught the small snake, then looked at the snake's innocent expression, momentarily unsure what to do.

After thinking for a moment, the girl decided to start with the simplest method.

"Napoleon, spit out that sword you just ate," the girl said, holding up a finger and trying to look authoritative.

She had expected to try at least a few times to find the right method, but as soon as she finished speaking, the small snake opened its mouth wide, and then the ceremonial short sword that had just been swallowed was spat out perfectly intact.

"It really works..." Yui Yuigahama looked at the short sword, and just as she was about to pick it up, she noticed it was covered in a lot of unknown slime—for her own mental health, the girl ultimately didn't pick up the sword, but instead ceded the opportunity to Asakura: "How much can Napoleon's belly hold in total?"

"The exact capacity isn't clear, but it should be able to hold everything in this room without a problem."

Asakura speculated.

However, as soon as his gaze left the small snake, he noticed Gokou Ruri was staring at him with eyes full of 'Coach, I want that too!'

No, no, no, even Coach I don't have something like that!

From the related knowledge in the Nameless Magic Book, Golem itself isn't particularly rare. After all, golems were created by mages to guard mage towers or other valuable things.

But Yui Yuigahama's Golem was clearly special.

Most Golems, when created, were usually made based on whatever was around the mage, considering either cheapness or durability.

However, Yuigahama's Napoleon could absorb Yuigahama's Magic on its own to open a magical space from the very beginning. Even now, reduced to this state, it could still open the previously collapsed space within its belly again.

If Asakura didn't have enough confidence in his Magic, he would have already taken the opportunity to deal with that Golem.

By the way, shouldn't spatial equipment be standard for protagonists? System, be a bit more useful!

Asakura silently reprimanded his cheat.

But nothing happened.

This reconfirmed to Asakura that his system was clearly the plain type, without self-awareness.

Only after Yui Yuigahama had played to her heart's content did she let go of the small snake, which had been forced to repeatedly swallow and regurgitate dozens of times.

She let the small snake coil around her wrist like a bracelet, then curiously looked at Gokou Ruri: "This... uh, classmate, what's your Magic? Turning into a kitten?"

Gokou Ruri didn't argue, she simply placed the cat doll Asakura gave her on the table.

Then, the small doll seemed to gain life, suddenly standing up, and then pounced towards Yui Yuigahama with surprisingly agile and swift speed!

Yui Yuigahama was flustered, trying to block the doll, but the doll's performance, infinitely close to that of a rampaging flying cockroach, clearly wasn't so easily caught.

Asakura, observing Yui Yuigahama hopping around on the ground, found it very amusing—it seemed Gokou Ruri was getting revenge for being startled when they first shook hands.

"Oh, this is going to be trouble~"

Accompanying Asakura's words, Yui Yuigahama went from hopping to flailing her arms and legs, because the flying cockroach... oh no, the kitten doll, taking advantage of her inattention, directly burrowed into her clothes from near the hem, causing the girl to let out a crisp shriek.

She desperately tried to press down on the doll causing mischief inside her clothes, but she couldn't catch it no matter what.

"Alright, that's enough," Gokou Ruri said loudly, arms crossed.

As soon as she finished speaking, the kitten doll had already reached the back of Yui Yuigahama's collar, and just then, it used its toothpick-like weapon to tap the back of the girl's neck, looking as if to say, 'If you don't concede, I'll carve up the back of your neck.'

"Kitten... so scary..."

Yui Yuigahama muttered, the cat doll's bizarre, cockroach-like movement and face-jumping action just now had given the girl a psychological shadow.

"It's because Yuigahama, you reacted too slowly." Asakura pointed to the small snake on the girl's wrist, which was being worn as a bracelet, and said, "If you can't stop it yourself, why can't you let your familiar stop it?"

It should be known that although cats react faster than snakes in reality, Yui Yuigahama's Golem is an autonomous golem, while the cat doll is simply controlled by Gokou Ruri from over there. Theoretically, the former's reaction ability should be faster than the latter's.

"I didn't think of it right away..." The girl stuck out her pink, tender little tongue.

Asakura's gaze lingered on her tongue for half a second, then, sensing Gokou Ruri's gaze, he cleared his throat and, acting like a gentleman, said, "You still haven't practiced enough. It seems the Association Cabin's training camp needs to be seriously considered."
