Chapter 19: system reward
Zara shot a mildly irritated glance at Fluff, her eyes narrowing slightly. But then, her lips curled into a mischievous smirk. Without a word, she grabbed the squishy creature by the scruff and bolted toward the bath.
Fluff’s eyes widened in horror."[H-Host! I’m sorry! You’re the best, the absolute best! Please don’t do this!]" he squealed, flailing his tiny arms in panic.
Zara reached the edge of the bath, fully prepared to dunk him in.
But just as she was about to throw him in—poof!—Fluff vanished into the safety of his pocket space with a cowardly yelp.
Zara, caught off guard by the sudden lack of weight in her hands, lost her balance and plunged into the bath with a loud splash.
"[Ha! Hahaha!]"Fluff reappeared midair, clutching his sides and laughing uncontrollably.
Zara slowly rose from the bath, drenched from head to toe, water dripping from her hair. Her glare locked onto Fluff with a murderous intensity.
The laughter died in Fluff’s throat. "Eep."Poof! — he vanished again before Zara could retaliate.
Grumbling under her breath, Zara dried herself off, pouting the whole time. Once clean, she flopped onto the bed with a dramatic sigh.
