chapter 19

Ren's POV:

"So what are you—" I was cut off mid-sentence before I could even complete what I was saying.

"Ruu~ dinner is ready! Come down," Mom called me downstairs.

Sigh.

"Well, it looks like Mom's back. We can continue this talk after dinner. Until then, stay inside the room," I said to Blaze. I didn't want my parents to know that I own a mythical-grade talking puppet that I summoned by performing a demon cultist-like ritual.

Sigh.

"Whoa—"

Zoop.

Blaze's silhouette disappeared from my vision, and it flew inside my chest like a ghost or something.

"I don't have to stay inside your room when I have this cozy room all for myself," Blaze's heavy voice resounded inside my mind, scaring the shit out of me.

"You truly are parasitic," I thought. He is connected to me by mind and lives off by scraping mana out of my mana core to maintain his physical form.
