I cracked my shoulders like a debt-ridden villain about to start grinding.
Before I could start plotting how to make money in this world, I glanced at the door.
'…How do I even call her again?'
I cleared my throat. "N-Nyaa-thang…"
I physically cringed. No. No. That sounded like I was summoning an ancient demon with a speech impediment.
"A-Ag-Ang-Ga-Thang."
Worse. So much worse.
I buried my face in the pillow.
'Why is pronunciation my mortal enemy.'
"Aga-tha," I tried again, slow and careful.
Knock. Knock.
I froze.
The door remained closed, but a familiar gentle voice came from the other side.
"Miss Blanca, are you calling for me?"
My eyes lit up.
"Nyang!"
Translation: YES. COME IN.
Agatha opened the door gracefully and walked in, hands folded neatly.
This time I was ready, so my soul stayed in my body.
She approached the bed. "Do you need something, Miss Blanca?"
I nodded enthusiastically, tail wagging.
