After several chapters—actually, more like a volume or two—Dearth, the self-proclaimed death goddess, finally reappeared on screen.
And without warning, she stole my first kiss. Just like that.
The last time I heard of her, Levi had brought to my attention that she'd betrayed me—pointing out my location to that sea monster.
And now here she was, perched on me like some cat, acting as if I were a lost pet finally recovered. The nerve.
"So, what brings you here?" I asked, trying to peel her off me.
"How rude!" she snapped. "Your mistress comes all this way to give you some attention, and this is the attitude I get?"
She went on and on about how she'd been worried sick, rambling about how lonely I must have been without her.
Wait—does Dearth... actually think I'm a pet?
Like, a familiar? Or some sentient animal?
She always talked to me like I was some creature that just happened to develop a brain overnight—and that's very insulting!
