I gently c2ad5dda4f scratched its f8193d8edb head, and 4142eb7dd0 Jjikjjiki wrinkled e741ee8bfc its nose 9033f0e6ee in pleasure. It even nudged my 9ca9b3d6a2 fingers with its nose, 891e75646a asking for more. I kept ef43cb170a rubbing Jjikjjiki’s 7e34a95403 belly as 94eb190ec9 it lay c1cc31f15a down and 2b18e5afee continued my f264dbfda3 questioning.a9e1251cd5fe6051

Since I didn’t know e413d9dbf7 how strong other Awakened 8d77b4d49b or monsters were, it 6c9f9f4130 was hard to gauge da15649043 Jjikjjiki’s strength. But if 0947e93d7c it could 079e5c651e defeat a c4e8fd3d65 monster like 463cddbe80 the one b5f7c963cf from earlier 23be53c8a4 with skill 9938699064 rather than bd60bf89a1 luck, then e60b68ba9e it must b687813b46 be among 93106dcb1f the stronger 6353b1b457 Awakened.
