twenty-one.

Kyiing.

【note: its a cry/whine sfx that sounds like kyiing?? kiyiing?? anyways】

After a while, the beast's body became smaller and smaller, returning to the original white rabbit form.

What changed was that the rabbit's neck was shackled with a gold necklace.

The rabbit beast tried to tear the necklace off with its feet to see if it was loosening the shackle.

But the necklace didn't budge.

Grrrr.

The rabbit growled at me with fierce eyes.

Then it stomped its hind legs, as if it were starting a car, ready to rush at me.

I shouted out of fear that it would become huge again and attack me.

"D-Don't come!"

Shing!

At that moment, the beast's necklace glowed and it stopped moving. Like it was following my orders.

"What did you do just now?"

The frozen Cassis came to his senses and asked. Even I couldn't explain it.

I ordered the rabbit again just in case.

"Sit down."

Bam.

"Get up."

Bam.

"Sit down?"

Bam.

The rabbit sat down and stood up with a tearful countenance when I repeated the orders.

When I saw it, I was so surprised that I let out an exclamation with my hands covering my mouth.

"Wow."

The beast listens to me. The reason was probably that necklace.

Wow, what is it? Is there a hidden force I don't know?

My body was still glittering with gold. Perhaps this light made that necklace.

Then Elisha, who was far away, burst into tears and gave me a big hug.

"Heungg. I thought you were going to die."

"Elisha, are you hurt?"

I looked around, clasping Elisha's cheek, her face dripping with tears and snot.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no injury.

"Yes. Hugh! Evelyn is more messed up than I am!"

"I'm fine. Cassis is more... Ah! Cassis!"

I was shocked to see Cassis, who was not comforting Elisha, but shedding cold sweat.

Cassis exhaled his breath with a pale face.

He smiled reassuringly and fell down.

His shirt was getting redder and redder. I quickly got out of Elisha's arms and went to Cassis's side.

Blood was bleeding out more and more. He seemed to have been seriously hurt when he was hit by the beast earlier.

I held Cassis and shook him shallowly.

"Cassis... wake up. Hey, don't play games."

No matter how many times I called him, his eyes were still closed tightly.

My vision was blurred without realizing it. I was crying before I knew it.

"Evelyn!"

Then shouted Allen, who came to us late. Next to him was Paul.
