Chapter 178: The Great Outdoors

"Rose, you scared the shit out of me!" Ace barked, his voice sharp with both relief and frustration as Dame Wasp materialized before him.

For a fleeting, agonizing moment, he had thought she'd gone rogue in a reckless bid to impress him and win back his trust. But no—Dame Wasp had already secured the doll case. On her way out, however, she wanted to hack into the resort's Wi-Fi, intending to hijack its surveillance system. She planned to monitor the movements of the S.S.S. members and eavesdrop on them through the microphones of devices connected to the network.

He should have known better than to think Dame Wasp would pull a reckless stunt just to impress him and end up putting him in danger. He understood that he had grown insecure about his powers and often wondered if he truly deserved them. Ace wasn't afraid of hatred or hardship—but love, unconditional and selfless, terrified him. He felt unworthy of something so precious, something so many could only dream of. And yet, here he was, with two loyal toy summons who would do anything for him, and soon, he was going to animate another one.

"Sorry, Master. I should have been clearer in my report. Do you want me to return and hack into the resort's Wi-Fi?" Dame Wasp apologized, in a tone laced with contrition, understanding that her incomplete report had caused her master distress and worry.

However, the words Ace had said to her earlier, and seeing him receive her with concern and worry, made her feel blessed, like the luckiest toy in the whole damn world. Though she felt bad for making her master worry unnecessarily, her wings vibrated, unable to hide her extreme joy.
