Pergina knew exactly what had just gone down.
Demi's reaction made perfect sense.
"Uh... Kiri, don't you think you should apologize to Demi real quick?"
"Sorry! Senior!"
Kiri jumped to obey.
But the way she kept staring at Demi showed she was totally confused.
Why was it soft?
That didn't make any sense.
Senior's should definitely be hard as steel, only getting soft after tons of modifications.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
Demi's voice dropped low, her eyes flashing with serious murder vibes.
"No... nothing at all, Senior!"
Kiri shook her head like crazy.
In her memory, when she first met Senior, she'd already swapped out most of her organs with steam-powered machinery, obviously including...
It used to make her face ache something fierce.
Could it be that Senior hasn't gotten her upgrades yet?
The pain temporarily cooled down Kiri's overexcited brain. She had a sneaking suspicion she'd figured it out.
Master had never been this gentle when patching her up!
