Chapter 118

She couldn't even remember which door they had originally chosen!

Which door they had chosen in the very beginning!

【Please.... I.... I'm scared....】

The eerie melody grew heavier,

and that shrill cry for help sounded all the more ethereal.

【Get out of here!】

The ticking of the clock kept accelerating,

and Stelle felt something was about to emerge!

So without a moment's hesitation, she grabbed Firefly and bolted through the door.

But after a frantic run,

they had somehow ended up right back in this room.

And this time, that shrill voice had completely dissolved into a jumble of eerie noise,

no longer making a single word discernible.

【The TV's glare is so blinding!】

【Careful!】

【It feels like something..】

【is about to come out!】

The TVs all around the room suddenly began flashing frantically, making Firefly gasp out loud!

The blinding light kept shining, forcing them to squint.

Then, the TVs inexplicably returned to normal,

and after a brief burst of static,

eerie purple vertical eyes began to appear on every single TV screen!

Staring fixedly at the two of them in a surrounding formation!

This horrifying sight made Stelle's scalp crawl!

She instinctively pulled out her baseball bat,

and shielded Firefly tightly behind her!

And then—

Boom!!!

A tremendous roar came from overhead!

A terrifying monster covered all over in compound eyes,

flew out from the dark, misty void and descended before them!

Diona: "S-so scary!"

Diona: "What kind of monster is this?!"

Diona: "Why does it have so many eyes?!"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "Unbelievable. Such a ferocious beast appearing within a sweet dream."

Miss Qingque: "Ahhhh! We run into a monster like this and you still call it a sweet dream?"

Miss Qingque: "This is clearly a nightmare!!"

Guinaifen: "Boo hoo, I was actually kinda looking forward to visiting Penacony for a trip."

Guinaifen: "But now, I almost got scared out of my soul, boo hoo.."

Furina: "This monster is way too scary-looking!"

Furina: "It doesn't like eating people, does it?"

Paimon: "E-eating people?!"

Paimon: "Does that mean Young Lady Firefly and Miss Stelle are going to be eaten by it?!"

Paimon: "N-no way!! That can't happen!"

Topaz: "Hahahahah!!"

Topaz: "Look! Look at this thing!"

Topaz: "To think such a vicious creature lurks within the Family's sweet dream!"

Topaz: "Sunday.. now, how do you plan to explain this?"

Sunday: "..."

Sunday: "I know that whatever I say now is already too late."

Sunday: "Give me some time. I will find this monster myself."

Robin: "Brother, no! That's too dangerous!"

Sunday: "Don't worry, Robin. Just trust me!"

Gallagher: "Why so tense?"

Gallagher: "Is it possible this thing just looks a little fierce?"

Gallagher: "Deep down, it might actually be quite obedient and cute."

Gallagher: "Of course.... I'm just guessing blindly.."

Lumine: "Mr. Gallagher, you call this thing cute?"

Boothill: "Meow! If this thing can be called cute, then my baby has gotta be ten thousand times cuter than it!"

Stelle: "If you've got something to say, then say it. What's with the cutesy act??"

Stelle: "Now you're meowing?"

Potio: "Meow! I'm not just meowing! I'm meowing!!"

March 7th: "Uh… isn't that still meowing?"

Potio: "Damn it! This meow of mine? Actually, I'm trying to express a plant!!"

Potio: "You know what plants are, right!! That kind of plant!!"

Stelle: "I don't get it."

Hu Tao: "Don't get it +1"

March 7th: "I don't get it either."

Potio: "..."

Potio: "Fine, don't get it. Just think I'm meowing. (Tears welling up. jpg)"

The video continues.

Inside the room, with the arrival of this terrifying monster,

Liu Ying and Stelle's spirits instantly tensed.

【W-What kind of monster is this—】

【It's like the ones we've encountered along the way… Are these monsters the family's hidden secret?】

Behind Stelle, Liu Ying stared at the monster, her expression alarmed.

【Don't be afraid, let me defeat it!】

Stelle reassured Liu Ying,

then prepared to strike first with her club, taking the initiative!

【Isn't there any way to escape it?】

Liu Ying was reluctant to let Stelle risk herself.

But at that moment, the monster moved first!

It dragged its tail-blade,

and slashed toward Stelle and Liu Ying.

Seeing this, Stelle shoved Liu Ying aside,

and began fighting the monster in earnest.

Yet the monster's fighting style was bizarre beyond measure,

and Stelle was soon on the defensive.

Then, the monster swept sideways,

sending Stelle flying far away.
