After reaching a judgment of their own, the administrator appeared to have sent the warning as a message rather than saying it over the call.
But there was something the administrator did not know.
I was already together with the butlers’ master.
Worse still, Dominic and I were sharing vision, so he saw even the administrator’s message in its entirety.
I tensed sharply, only for the strength to drain from me a moment later.
Dominic did not care in the least. I thought I knew what he was thinking.
‘There is no reason to care how an insignificant being judges him.’
But Dominic was attentive when it came to me.
Noticing me watching his reaction, he withdrew the shared vision.
I felt the power that had inhabited me flow away.
“You did well, Gunbam.”
Dominic’s voice was tranquil as he encouraged me.
For a moment, I thought about the pudding slime on my shoulder.
I had long known that he was an extraordinary being.
It was impossible not to know.
The instant one glimpsed even a part of Dominic, one understood at once.
But the most ancient god….
It seemed I had become involved with something even greater and more dangerous than I had vaguely imagined.
My shoulder suddenly felt heavy.
Why a being like this had taken an interest in me and remained at my side was no longer merely a question. It was unfathomable.
Of course it was only natural that I, who had lived a mere twenty-four years, could not understand such an ancient god….
Even so, there was one thing I could not accept.
‘Why is Dominic indifferent to his Subordinates?’
Even with the Cat Butler and Rabbit Butler directly before him, he had shown no reaction.
