“What for?” he muttered. He pouted, but he still bent down. Joanna placed her hand on top of his head.
She used 100,000 Affinity Points and calmed him once
Just a small reward, so he wouldn’t keep making trouble
It was Lucien’s first time being calmed. His eyes went wille at once. In that moment, he felt like he could forgive Joanna for anything. He even felt like he liked her more..
“Alright. Everyone go get some rest,” Joanna said.
“O-okay,” Lucien replied, and obediently went to his room.
Alwyn could only rub his forehead.
See? You really shouldn’t be too much of a gentleman.
That night, there weren’t two fluffy companions squeezing in around Joanna.
Only Nighthowl stayed.
He behaved and turned into a small, fluffy pup. He looked very happy.
“Joanna, today I ate a really big moon. I can give you some energy back.”
“System Notice: Your contract beast truly cares for you. You have received a bonus: Corrupted Frenzy.”
Joanna froze.
This was the first time she hadn’t used any Affinity Points, yet Nighthowl still gave her energy back.
Before, feedback between a summoner and a summoned beast only happened when the summoner gave the beast a lot of resources. She had only ever given Affinity Points.
So, had she not given enough before?
She asked more questions and started to thinka
Nighthowl liked things that looked like moons? Or maybe things linked to vision or eye-based skills?
If that was true, then the Sight Deprivation skill from before could have suited Nighthowl too. She had just used it herself because she thought he couldn’t give her feedback.
Thinking about it made her feel guilty.
“Thank you, Nighthowl. I’m sorry I didn’t give you better resources before. You’re a Transcendent Beast. I should have trained you more carefully.”
“You don’t have to work so hard,” Nighthowl said softly. But… can you kiss me?”
“Of course,” Joanna said.
She leaned down and kissed the top of his fluffy head.

Nighthowl suddenly returned to his human form. His tall body took up a lot of the bed. He looked down at Joanna, and the strong pressure made her eyes shift away without thinking.
“Kiss me again,” he whispered.
The night passed in quiet.
The next morning, Joanna still remembered her food scam.
Not for money-just to record her life.
After breakfast, the doorbell to the villa rang.
Alwyn went to open the door. An old man stood outside Next to him was Garfield, who looked like he had lost his whole world.
The Lowes is here?
But just yesterday, Garfield had been talking tough.
Why did he lose all his spirit today?
“Hello, Joanna,” the old man said kindly. “I’m Webster Houle, a professor from the Divine and Demonic Academy, Department of Paranormal Dungeon Studies You can call me Professor Houle.”
Joanna had thought the man was from the Lowes.
She never expected him to be an academy professor instead.
