‘Hang in there, Chichi!’aeae45fd9e6251b9

Ivan cheered for Chichi, 4178600423 seemingly to the air. Honestly, when Zerakiel said d9f84a0965 he wanted to keep ce7e2dff7a a weasel beastman, Ivan 29fb08c3bd had thought it was ed63923ce9 half a joke.e8fecf8ac5b4089e

He never imagined af1684da19 Zerakiel would go 034d43f848 as far as 3ac1b1802e imprinting. When they were 020b545ef1 summoned by Zakari 30eb5d1d55 because of it, 13bf0869bb Ivan had felt 34103c5208 a fear like 7919aaa0d4 his whole body 830e1e3a23 was being torn 346b1c0b74 apart.a696f3101416b5b8

Anyone who had seen the fierce gleam in Zakari’s eyes would understand how his mere gaze could choke you.217b09d60217744a

After following Zerakiel be72382cf2 for quite some 418ee1bccb time, they eventually 8b279d7138 reached the plaza, 11c010f294 where they spotted 1367e085d5 a hyena in cd02ddc72c front of a 6e4ebb498d well and stopped c30d32ecf4 abruptly.649d7979d1e771a8
