"Young master, where have you been hiding? Come out and say hello to your grandpa, I even have a present for you~". Flick shivered at these words. "Come out, you little shit, I know you're hiding somewhere around here". So much for the friendly facade of a nice grandfather.

"If you keep your eyes closed, I won't hurt you when I find you, well, maybe a little~." Said the thing that was disguised as his grandfather and ripped open one of the cupboards. 'Does he really think I'm going to fall for the farce?' thought Flick and gritted his teeth. "If you keep your eyes closed and lick my paws, then I won't hurt you either, little asshole."

'Don't blink, they won't get you that way, don't blink' Flick repeated this Manta in his mind. The little heap of miserable creature crouching in the open cupboard was of course him. "Do you know what there is in the world I come from?" asked the thing and giggled maliciously. 'What?' thought Flick in his discomfort. "It's called pepper spray and it's used for the bad guys who can't keep their hands to themselves."

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Unfortunately, you creatures haven't developed that yet. But I think hot spices will do the trick too," 'Oh no.' Luckily for Flick, the fake grandfather received a message from the Abyss at that moment. "Big sister, Violett wants to play with the little manticore too~" and distracted him. "Can you act like a normal human being for once and stop talking like an anime girl?", "Says the Jigsaw Idiot." Luckily, mental illness seemed to run in the family of the two demons.

"And don't act like you can't see it when it opens its eyes like that. Even though it looks sooo cute~". "Spoilsport", "perverted pig", 'my life was a lie'. Luckily, the world crystal in Flick's clutches was charged with his miasma at that moment. Not a second too soon, it seemed. "Can't we keep it as our pet?" asked the disembodied voice from nowhere. "No, the coup wouldn't work like that. Besides, don't you finally want to have your own avatar?", "But I wanted to be a princess~". 'I will warn my people about you, you won't have it so easy once again and then you worms will bow before heaven and my parents.' With this inner monologue, Flick traveled into the past, because of course he didn't dare to say it out loud.
