Chapter 86: 'Companion's Name'
"It's still fat..."
Vincent muttered under his breath, his tone laced with amusement, as he studied the newly evolved black rabbit. Its long, thin ears, which reached its back, perked up sharply.
The plump creature spun around and fixed him with a sharp glare, its small eyes gleaming with indignation.
Suddenly, Vincent felt an odd tug in his mind, like an invisible thread had connected him to something. Moments later, a young girl's voice—childlike yet firm—rang in his ears.
"I'm not fat!"
Startled, Vincent instinctively tensed, almost flinching as he processed the impossibility of the moment.
"You... you can talk? Telepathically?!" he exclaimed, unable to hide his astonishment.
The rabbit crossed her stubby arms over her rounded form and snorted, the sound both comical and indignant.
"Hmph! I can do more than that!"
