"I wonder what Natsuki-kun and Yukino are talking about," Fujiwara Chika said softly, looking at the two standing in the corner, "I'm super curious."
Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms over her chest, her tone cool and composed: "I'm not curious."
"I don't believe you," Fujiwara Chika tilted her head and looked over, "If Kaguya-chan isn't curious, why are her eyes fixed on them without blinking?"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "…"
In the corner.
"In short, that's the situation," Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "Each of us will verify one direction."
Yukinoshita Yukino showed a thoughtful expression and nodded lightly:
"I understand."
The two conversed in low voices for a moment, then quickly separated, each choosing a book from the bookshelves.
"Natsuki-kun, what book are you holding?"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened as she looked over.
"A secret."
Amamiya Natsuki put the book behind his back.
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand: "I can help keep a secret."
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously: "Sorry, I refuse."
"How mean." The pink-haired girl puffed out her cheeks, "Natsuki-kun doesn't trust me."
As she spoke, the long-haired, dark-haired girl walked over, also holding a book: "I've chosen mine."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded lightly: "Let's go."
The group left the library and quickly arrived at the first-floor hall.
At some point, a pale blue frost had quietly covered the entire hall, and the entire ancient castle seemed to be entering a world of extreme cold.
Amamiya Natsuki walked to the fireplace.
The books thrown in earlier had long since burned out, but the flames in the fireplace still burned faintly.
Amamiya Natsuki, with a calm expression, handed the book in his hand towards the fireplace.
"Wait a minute," the stranger they met on the second floor couldn't help but say, "It seems those monsters in the ancient castle were released when we burned the books… It's not cold at all now, so we don't need to burn books anymore, do we?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Anyway, we've already burned so many, one more won't hurt."
Passerby girl: "…"
Thinking about it, she actually had nothing to refute.
After Amamiya Natsuki finished burning the book, Yukinoshita Yukino stepped forward and also threw her book into the fireplace.
Flames engulfed them.
The two books quickly burned to ashes.
"Oh, right," Fujiwara Chika suddenly remembered that three players were still missing, "Where are Mei and the others?"
There were ten players in total; the male Izumi was already out, and three players were still unaccounted for.
"Those three guests mistakenly entered other guests' rooms," Puppet Billy's voice was low, clearly knowing the castle's situation inside out, "They haven't come out yet."
"Natsuki-kun."
Fujiwara Chika turned her head and looked over.
Amamiya Natsuki put down Puppet Billy and said directly: "Butler-san, lead us to apologize in person. The guests who were disturbed will surely forgive us."
If they didn't forgive… then it would naturally be a case of 'Seize and Eliminate Evil' first, then force.
It could now be basically confirmed that Puppet Billy was a neutral faction, so the combined skill of 'Seize and Eliminate Evil' could be used again.
"Esteemed guests, please follow me."
Puppet Billy straightened his small suit, took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe his palms and body, then walked forward, quickly leading everyone to a room: "The esteemed guests are inside."
Amamiya Natsuki pushed the door open and saw three players huddled in the corner, trembling. Opposite them was a Werewolf with thick fur all over its body, surprisingly wearing a pair of stretchy fitness shorts.
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki appear, the three players' eyes all lit up with surprise.
The Werewolf was the same.
The Werewolf turned its head to look, its eyes flashing green, and it quickly bared its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth: "More food has arrived."
Amamiya Natsuki said, neither obsequious nor arrogant:
"Mr. Werewolf, have you seen my cousin?"
The Werewolf was startled: "...Who is your cousin?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"She's a little girl, seven or eight years old. A few days ago, my grandmother fell ill, and my cousin went through the forest alone with food to visit her, but she suddenly lost contact in the forest and hasn't been heard from since..."
"You're talking about Little Red Riding Hood, aren't you!" The Werewolf couldn't help but shout, "Don't think I don't know!"
"Very good, you indeed know the whereabouts of my cousin." Amamiya Natsuki was fearless, "Mr. Werewolf, you are under arrest."
"Human, do you know what you're saying?"
The Werewolf stood up, his height approaching two meters, looking very imposing, "I've decided, I'll eat you first!"
Amamiya Natsuki moved half a step to the side, revealing the pink-haired girl behind him.
"I call you Don, the Outlaw, do you dare to answer?"
Fujiwara Chika was already prepared, pointing her hand at the Werewolf.
The Werewolf quickly felt his mouth lose control: "I...I am Don!"
While the Werewolf was in a state of shock and uncertainty, Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and grabbed him: "Don, you are under arrest."
With a light touch from Amamiya Natsuki, the large Werewolf instantly froze, as if someone had pressed a pause button, only his eyes could still move.
"Humans, what have you done to me?"
"My cousin, Little Red Riding Hood, suddenly lost contact..."
Fujiwara Chika took the opportunity to wave at the three people in the corner: "You guys, hurry up and come out."
The three dumbfounded unlucky players finally awoke as if from a dream, scrambling out of the room in a hurry, using both hands and feet.
Amamiya Natsuki calmly looked at the Werewolf's elastic shorts, and mused:
"The Hulk has shorts, and you have shorts... Are your shorts products from the same manufacturer?"
"Human, don't touch my shorts!" Seeing Amamiya Natsuki reach for his shorts, the Werewolf's voice suddenly turned into a female voice, "I'm going to eat you alive!"
Wait.
What's with that voice?
You wouldn't happen to be a big sister, would you!
Thinking about it carefully, it's completely fine. In movies and TV shows, there are only male werewolves, which is definitely gender discrimination. Female werewolves should not be absent either.
However, with such abundant hair all over, it's really impossible to tell if it's male or female.
Amamiya Natsuki said: "You usually eat raw food, don't you?"
"Don't underestimate monsters. Haven't you seen I'm setting up a grill? Of course, cooked food tastes better."
...""
The three unlucky players had already evacuated, and Fujiwara Chika quickly said:
"Natsuki-kun, you can come out now."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, releasing his hand, and the Miss Werewolf immediately showed a fierce face, ready to bite.
Slap.
Amamiya Natsuki slapped with his right hand.
The Miss Werewolf stopped again, still fierce, though her body was subdued, her mouth was not.
"Human, I'm going to eat you!"
Shinomiya Kaguya's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she whispered: "I'll seal it."
Saying that, she was about to materialize her bow and arrow, transforming into a Miko, to seal the Werewolf.
"No need." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "Since she's so enthusiastic, let's take her with us... We might need a taste tester later."
Amamiya Natsuki directly led the Miss Werewolf out of the room. Everyone gathered and, led by Puppet Billy, arrived at the dining area.
The Restaurant lights were dim, and the dome was painted with a fresco, Da Vinci's "The Last Supper." On the right side of a long dining table, there were ten chairs.
Excluding the boy whose game ended, the remaining chairs were just enough for one person each.
Amamiya Natsuki and the Miss Werewolf sat at the very front, followed by Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, and then the others in a row.
"I apologize for the wait, guests." Wooden Puppet Butler placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, "Now, dinner will begin."
