"Hey, hey? Don't throw me away after you're done with me!"

Aarons was just thinking about how cruelly he would be treated, but the sudden and drastic changes in this dark space immediately reminded him of an unsettling fact-

Since this monster can imitate the eating of living things, it should also have the function of excreting indigestible things...

"...Can't you change to a more polite way!"

Contracting, squeezing, squirming-the dark space that was originally silent suddenly regarded Aarons as a foreign object.

The restraints on his body had been untied at some point, but the strange touch that kept coming from the surroundings made him feel hairy all over.

The inner wall, like soft metal, kept pressing on his body from all sides, forcing him to move in an unknown direction.

Although he had guessed what it was going to do...but wasn't this a bit too insulting!

[Intelligence analysis completed, Zhou Mu-Aarons Moti, expelled. 】

"You bastard——"

So, Aarons' life experience had another highlight... He was eaten and pulled out by some inexplicable strange thing.

...

However, as soon as he returned to the normal world, the unbearable high temperature around him immediately made him tense.

"...Karin?"

After finally standing up again on the soft and hot ground, Aarons immediately saw the flame that had turned into a giant wolf.

The huge body that burned the earth was frantically tearing and biting the silver-white ellipsoid object, as if it had lost its mind and only had pure destructive instincts.

—— Aarons realized what was happening at once.

"No, stop!"

After decisively launching his ability, Aarons, who had calmed down, immediately released his mental power.

However, the flame in the form of a giant wolf did not respond to his call, and continued to wave its forelimbs like living flames.

...Is there no sound at all!

[Karin, I'm still alive, stop! ]

The call directly sent to Karin's consciousness still received no response, and Aarons's emotions, which were forced to remain calm, began to fluctuate.

What should I do now?

I have no power, and I can't even get close to the place that has become a magma pool. And Karin, who has fallen into madness due to emotional outburst, can't hear my voice at all.

Is there really no way to stop her?

"Damn, what the hell am I..."

His hands were clenched into fists, and Aarons' ability could no longer remain stable due to his fluctuating emotions.

The strong anger, worry and unwillingness made his body tense and tremble, and he almost lost control completely.

If I could have someone who could force her to... Wait?

Aarons suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something and immediately raised his left hand, and then he saw the emblem of the red wolf head engraved on the back of that hand.

"Contract... That's right!"

Karin had signed a new subordination contract with Aarons. Although Xia Ye added special conditions in the middle, the main function of the contract was not changed.

I can force Karin to give orders - unlike Xia Ye's contract, I have no limit on the number of times I can give orders to Karin.

Although this order is not completely irresistible, my voice may be transmitted in this way.

"Order according to the contract, Karin Brownfang... calm down immediately!"

The emblem on the back of the hand instantly emitted a dazzling light, and the pattern of the wolf head seemed to be burning at this time, releasing incredible heat.

"Order again, stop attacking!"

The huge flame wolf not far away obviously slowed down its movements. Although its violent power remained unabated, its power of attacking and biting seemed to have weakened a little.

"No... No, I thought too simply."

His order was indeed delivered, but Karin was resisting the coercive force of the contract - so Aarons immediately understood that ruthless orders could not calm the anger.

"- I understand."

Aarons realized that his thinking almost reached a dead end again, and after taking a few deep breaths, he took the initiative to activate his ability again.

Since his mental power can transmit his thoughts to others, he should also be able to receive the will of others.

"Then give the order again... Let your consciousness connect with me!"

So, Aarons's mind was instantly covered by the scorching flames -

[... You monster, how dare you killThe person I care about the most! ]

[I haven't had time to repay the favor... I haven't had time to express my feelings... I haven't had time to go further! ]

[Even if I have to burn out here, I will...]

"Ahem, I'm not dead yet... We can go back and talk if you have any ideas."

In the sea of ​​nothingness, the blazing fire that almost covered the entire space and was as hot as erupting lava suddenly weakened a lot because of Aarons' voice.

"Well... Do you still regard yourself as a servant? I don't think it's appropriate. After all... I have basically done what I should do."

Because it was just a communication in consciousness, Aarons, who was forced to remain calm due to his ability, didn't care whether some words were appropriate to say.

"So for me, you are already my family."

[This voice... Master? 】

"Since you let me believe in your power, you should also trust me, right? So listen carefully--"

Because he already knew the feeling of trusting others, Aarons also believed that Karin would definitely hear his voice.

"I'm still alive, stop, trust me."

The firm voice, like an order, finally penetrated the blazing flames and reached the heart of the wolf girl who was surrounded by flames.

[Ah... Master, you're still alive. ]

"It's better to say that you're not injured at all... Okay, come back to me."

The last sentence was not an order, but it had an unexpected effect-the flames in the spiritual world quickly subsided, and the wolf-shaped flames in the real world also quickly dissipated and shrank, slowly turning back to human form.

[We're already family, but for me, it's not enough...]

"... What?"

The last whisper in the consciousness quietly dissipated-although Aarons didn't hear what Karin said, in reality, her body had returned to normal.

However, because her clothes had been burned to ashes, some flames were still left on her body, covering those places that were not suitable for exposure.

"Master, I... am back."

When the molten earth finally began to calm down, Karin, who had lost her power, finally returned to Aarons' side.

However, unlike before, she deliberately kept a subtle distance from Aarons at this time - and her eyes were dodging, not daring to look Aarons in the eye.

"Oh, it's really scary, anyway, I'm fine, we will..."

"The main structure has been transformed, and the new program has begun to execute - [Hello, World]."

- Oops, I forgot there was such a thing!
