"I'm sorry, but I would rather have her yapping by my side than reducing her to a puppet," I said. "Please let her go…"
Alice glared at me with a concerned expression.
"S-Sylphy…" Armageddon groaned as I noticed tears streaming down her face. Was she actually moved by my words?
Realizing she had been tormenting a powerless being, Alice released her grip. "Fine…" She sighed. "Sorry, I might have gone overboard."
Once freed, Armageddon coughed violently, still crying and shrieking as she flew behind me for cover.
"Hyeee! Your System is crazy!" she bickered through sobs and coughs. "I-I am a spirit goddess…! How dare you be so mean to me?! I was only warning her about the many risks… Simply feeding her positive things will never help her grow, you know? She has to understand her own weaknesses and the possibilities of what could happen. I wasn't threatening her…!"
"Thank you for doing that, but don't laugh at me while you do it," I said. "Alice is a little sensitive."
