Chapter 71: Doing His Job (Rewritten)
Deciding to permanently keep the Ghastly Hunger summoned, Sunny contemplated the best position for him to take a nap.
’It’ll be another three or four hours before I can go back to the Waking World. Being an Awakened Demon really halved the necessary time...’
He wondered how quickly he could leave the Dream Realm after becoming a Devil. Once he was a Titan, he might be able to leave thirty minutes after sleeping!
Not that he planned on being stuck as an Awakened until he became a Titan.
Sunny constantly rotated his body, laying on his left side, right side, and stomach. Not finding that sweet spot, he could only sigh as he laid on his back. Seemingly unable to go to sleep, he planned on staring blankly at the ceiling until he could...
’...Why is my ceiling on fire?’
It was a small flame, around the size of his torso. Strangely enough, the fire didn’t spread whatsoever. It burned silently, a soft crackling sound being emitted from it as he felt the warmth it exuded.
A baffled expression on his face, Sunny turned to look at the Sparkle doll he had — the one with a very special opening. Ignoring that, he narrowed his gaze at it’s smug face, feeling as if there was a hint in it’s eyes.
"...Oh."
Suddenly, a figure leaped out of the flames, barreling straight for Sunny. Before he could roll out of the way, he felt a pair of legs jab into his stomach. A breath of air was forcefully pushed out of his lungs, causing him to gasp. Despite the chaos, he caught a glimpse at a pair of flower-shaped pupils, two black dots, and a grin that quickly turned awkward once her eyes rested upon him.
Rolling off the bed, Sunny immediately sprang up to his feet with a scowl.
