“But you haven’t put my mat in yet,” I said.
The rascal paused for a second, stiffly turned to me, and then looked down slightly. After a few seconds of silence, it finally came running over with trembling lips: "Oh dear, my troublesome master is really something~ This is such a small thing that can be done with just a flick of the wrist, but you still have to make your poor servant do it, sob sob~ You really love to act cute."
I silently revealed my claws, summoning a tiny flame that successfully silenced the creature.
