Earlier in Gaffer's special room, he and his beast were as usual bantering.
[Next time send her six beastmen. Did you see how they were praising the beastwomen who bewitched three to four beasts?!]
Gaffer chuckled dangerously. "Is that a threat?"
Actually, moments to minutes passed and all they did was banter with Linda being in the center of it all.
Together they watched how she won first place in the first round, and how she couldn't even celebrate that little victory because no one around at that moment was who she wanted to celebrate with.
In fact, the beast felt how lonely she was.
[Didn't you promise you would help prepare her for the next round since you have the experience of caring for a child?]
[You even told that old man Gugli to make her wait in the brain sharpener if she ever goes there. Why are you wasting time? Let's go to her!]
"..."
Gaffer laughed. "If you weren't part of me I would cut your throat with the blade of my scale for talking to me like that."
