Pukki sat leisurely on the cloud, his body limp and bent, his head bowed, looking extremely peaceful.
On its tiny nose, a huge bubble expands and contracts with its even, steady breathing.
The clouds below trembled slightly.
The once soft and relaxed white down seemed to become taut due to the weight of the pukki, losing its original fluffiness.
Suddenly, the red crocodile next to him slammed its fist on the table, a deafening "bang" echoing through the silent air.
It pierced through Pukki's sleepiness and reached the ears of the fast-sleeping Pukki.
"Sleep, sleep!"
"Sleep your ass off!"
It raised its head blankly, looking left and right.
Finally, those innocent eyes landed on Viktor's calm face directly in front of her, and she returned a gentle smile that seemed to understand but not quite.
But then its eyelids started to droop again.
Less than three seconds later, it lowered its head again and drifted back to sleep.
Wrightton turned around, looked at Victor, shrugged, and sighed.
"Boss, look, we can't wake him up."
"This lazy dog is completely impervious to reason, and we have no way to deal with it."
Victor sat in the chair opposite Pukki, with one leg crossed over the other.
They watched the sleeping puppy intently.
Pukki, the Demon of Sloth.
Its method is perhaps the mildest of the seven deadly sins.
Its existence will continue to stimulate the lazy nature of others.
They eventually slept until they found even walking and eating too troublesome.
Compared to the tricks of other demons, Pukki is indeed considered mild.
But a demon is a demon after all, and is by no means a benevolent being.
When Victor uttered the demon's true name, it was tantamount to gaining control over it.
A simple transaction can expose the secrets of this devil.
It doesn't matter who attracted it.
The important thing is that after it arrived at Cleviner Manor, it went straight to Cocotte.
This is a very unreasonable thing.
Originally, the Sloth Demon was too lazy to seek out a host; it only needed to lie lazily in place and wait for its prey to take the bait.
However, it was unexpectedly drawn to Cocoyte's fluffy, white, and lovely cloud.
These white, soft clouds look like they're perfect for sleeping.
Therefore, Pukki and Kokot reached a deal:
Pukki promised that Kokot's sleep would be exceptionally peaceful, and that the noise of the world would not disturb her dreams.
In exchange, the cloud will be temporarily lent to Kokot to sleep in until he wakes up.
Upon hearing this, Cocotte agreed without hesitation.
Next, the demon merged Kokot's consciousness with the garden, plunging her into an endless dream.
Since plants themselves have no consciousness, this lack of consciousness is equivalent to eternal slumber.
Therefore, Kokot, who was unable to wake up for a long time, was clearly being cunningly used by Pukki.
As long as she doesn't wake up, the cloud doesn't need to be returned.
In this regard, it could be said that Cocote brought it upon himself.
Heni looked at the elf and dog peacefully in their dreams with some worry, and asked Victor with some unease:
"Then... how can we wake Kokot up?"
Viktor responded calmly:
"Demons have different methods, but in the end, they all touch upon the deepest desires in one's heart."
If the desires that Kokot's heart has been amplified infinitely can be relieved, she will naturally not continue to sleep.
After thinking for a moment, Viktor added another sentence.
"To prevent it from harming others, Henney, let it stay with you for now, just like Lightton."
Even if a demon doesn't possess someone else, its mere existence in a certain space is enough to influence those around it.
People with weak willpower are easily attracted by the invisible temptations of evil, and their emotions will be affected for a long time.
Therefore, he was left with Henney.
At least there's the old devil, Wrightton, to keep an eye on him.
Hearing Viktor's calm decision, Heni nodded slightly and responded softly:
"I see."
She skillfully grabbed the puppy by the neck with one hand, gently lifted it up, and placed it on her other shoulder.
The already chubby puppy was still fast asleep, looking exceptionally relaxed and content.
Then, Henney looked at Victor again.
Viktor's gaze remained fixed on the soundly sleeping Cocotte on the bed, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
The professor is definitely trying to figure out how to wake Kokot up.
It seems I shouldn't disturb the professor.
Thinking of this, Henney whispered to Victor:
"Professor, I'll be leaving now."
Victor nodded slightly in response.
With her left hand holding the crocodile and her right shoulder slung a small dog over her shoulder, Henne tiptoed out of the room with Cocotte's cloud.
They carefully and gently closed the door along the way.
Inside the room, Vega, perched on Victor's shoulder, muttered with slight displeasure:
"I didn't expect you to take in another demon."
"You're not really going to collect all the demons, are you?"
Vega was somewhat confused; it couldn't understand Victor's collecting obsession.
In particular, the moment the Sloth Demon appeared, it easily took control of a fifth-tier mage.
If given more time, perhaps a second Yem could appear in the royal city and wreak havoc.
Even as the demons grow stronger, Victor is still able to deal with them.
But it really couldn't figure out where Victor got the real names of those demons from.
