In an instant, the staff member playing the monster began to lose confidence in his costume.

He then looked at Kurumi to the side and asked again, puzzled, "Then why wasn't this guest scared either? I've never had a girl not scream at my costume."

"Ara~ How do you know I wasn't scared? Just now, I was so frightened I couldn't even move,"

Kurumi said with a hint of a smile in her voice, then looked at me with affection. "Besides... if there was any real danger, I believe Kyoya-chan would protect me, right?"

"Of course! I will protect Kurumi-chan."

"..." Being forced to watch that display of affection left the staff member feeling pretty deflated.

Hidden beneath the mask, he couldn't help but pout.

'Easy for you to say now. Who knows if you'd abandon your girlfriend and run for your life if real danger struck.'

After all, he had seen many boys just like you, full of promises, but in the end...

Just now, a young couple was scared out of their wits, crying and screaming to go home, and the boy directly abandoned his girlfriend and fled.

However, noticing Kurumi's exquisite and delicate face, and then thinking about his own miserable self, nearly thirty and never having had a girlfriend, this staff member's heart couldn't help but turn sour with envy.

"It seems more guests are coming. Please, you two, continue forward."

Hearing this, Kurumi and I nodded and continued deeper into the haunted house.

After their figures disappeared, this staff member immediately took out an earpiece. "Hey, hey... Is everyone there? I have something important to announce."

"Here, Matsushita-kun. What is it..."

"Matsushita-senpai, what happened?"

"..."

The voices coming from the earpiece were all from the staff members playing monsters in this haunted house.

"A couple just passed through here. They said the props in our haunted house are of poor quality and not scary at all. Later, you must do your best to scare them severely and let them know how formidable we are!"

As soon as his voice fell, a series of indignant voices came from the earpiece.

"What! How dare they look down on us like that!"

"Don't worry, Matsushita-senpai! I'll definitely let them know what true terror is."

"That's right! We've worked so hard on these props, and they just dismiss our efforts so lightly. We must teach them a lesson."

Listening to everyone's statements in the earpiece, Matsushita finally nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent! The man in that couple is wearing casual clothes—and the woman is in a pure black dress. You'll be able to recognize them at a glance."

"EVERYONE, THIS BATTLE CONCERNS OUR HONOR!"

"THIS TIME, LET THEM TASTE OUR POWER! I DECLARE THE BATTLE OFFICIALLY STARTED!"

"HAI!!!"

"..."

———

And our protagonists, Kyoya and Kurumi, had now arrived in an abandoned emergency operating room.

The lights in the operating room flickered on and off. The room was exceptionally messy, and there was red liquid dripping "drip-drip" from the operating table onto the floor.

"Kurumi, I bet you, according to the plot, there's definitely a monster hiding in some corner here," I said to the girl beside me with absolute certainty.

Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, all the white cloths on the operating tables were blown into the air.

Suddenly, several ferocious-looking monsters crawled out from under the operating tables and, with extremely strange postures, rushed towards the two of them, roaring.

They had several scalpels stuck in their bodies, and their hands also held dripping scalpels. The white bones of their thighs were exposed.

However, noticing that Kurumi and I were still so calm, all the monsters present were dumbfounded.

But out of professional ethics, they still continued to twist and make strange movements, roaring beside the two of them.

"Awoo~ awoo~"

"Leave your lives behind!"

"I'll kill you!!"

"..."

However—

I stroked my chin, looking them up and down.

And Kurumi, with a smile on her lips, raised her hand to touch her cheek, watching them.

"..." To this, the NPCs before them were all speechless.

'Holy crap!!!'

'Can you two give us some face?'

'Acting like this makes us look very stupid.'

Kurumi's wine-red eyes darted, as if thinking of something. Her body leaned slightly, her voice filled with seduction. "Ah~ Kyoya-chan, they're so scary! I'm so afraid~"

Then Kurumi, without much thought, directly pounced into my embrace.

A soft fragrance entered his embrace. Instantly, a faint girlish scent assailed his nostrils, making me momentarily flustered.

Her soft chest pressed tightly against his, like a soft dough, soft yet elastic, clearly transmitted through the pure black dress.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them became somewhat ambiguous.

'Aha~ Here comes the classic couple scene from a haunted house.'

Although I knew Kurumi was acting, I also went along with it.

Holding the soft jade in my arms, I patted Kurumi's small head with one hand, and gently patted the girl's back with the other, comforting her softly. "There, there~ It's okay, Kurumi. They're all just props. Nothing to be afraid of."

"But they're really ugly. Let's not play with them. Let's go!"

"Mm~"

Then, I affectionately wrapped my arm around Kurumi's slender waist, and slowly moved, walking past the several staff members before them.

Watching the two of them leave, laughing and talking, the several staff members in the operating room looked at each other, dumbfounded.

'What's going on??'

'This is supposed to be the world's most terrifying haunted house.'

'Why are they not reacting at all?'

'Especially that cute girl in the pure black dress...'

'She wasn't scared at all, yet she pretended to be scared and pitiful. And she was openly showing affection in front of them.'

'The most, most, most excessive thing is that the boy actually said we were ugly, making personal attacks...'

'THIS IS TOO MUCH!!!'

————

Then, these NPCs, with tearful faces, took out their communication earpieces.

"Senpai, we failed! Not only were they not scared, but they also said we were ugly and showed affection in front of us!"

"What... Damn it! They're looking down on us too much!"

"Don't worry, Kohai! Leave it to us next! We'll definitely let them know how formidable we are."

"That's right! We must defend the honor of our haunted house!"

"..."
