Chapter 185 - Battle with the inner demons (part 3)

"Master. You can show up. I know that you are watching us."

Toy Zoemi spoke up, not looking up to the heavens like Cherro – speaking to the unachievable perfection of the closest being their world had to a god – but rather looking down, to the height at which proud but timid nine-years platinum girl would stand.

"...I am sorry that I made you do that... m protector..."

And just as if she was summoned by the call, a little platinum-haired girl appeared behind the remains of Cherro, speaking up in a fearful voice, unable to look up at her savior, too focused on the ripped flesh.

To change that, the bear-like beast stepped over Cherro and approached the presence.

As it did, the remains of its claws and its fully functional fangs retracted and its form changed into that of a giant teddy bear.

Its eyes remained lifeless, but now they looked almost cute.

Despite being over four times larger than the platinum-haired girl, the creature was not threatening at all.
