"Why has Kaguya-chan been staying in the fire escape and not coming out to meet us?"

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.

"I can't get out." Shinomiya Kaguya's expression immediately became serious. "This fire escape is strange. I kept going up, but I couldn't find an exit."

"Then I went down, preparing to return to the basement to find another passage to go up... The passage entrance to the basement also disappeared."

"..."

The air immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other.

A fire escape with no exit sounded even more bizarre than a midnight monster.

"There's such a thing?"

Kitagawa Marin subconsciously hugged her arms, feeling a strange chill in the air, and couldn't help but lean closer to Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, turned to look behind him. The fire escape was completely dark, shadowy and indistinct, with no exit visible.

After a brief thought, Amamiya Natsuki quickly said:

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

The girls all agreed, carefully following behind Amamiya Natsuki, and turned to walk upstairs.

After entering the fire escape, they had only walked a few steps before finding the Dumbfounded Miss. Logically, they should have seen the exit by just turning around.

However, at the corner of the stairway, there was only a bleak, grayish-white, bare wall; the stairway exit had eerily disappeared.

"The exit really is gone."

Amamiya Natsuki muttered, while reaching out to touch the wall. The sensation from his fingertips was cold and hard, clearly not an illusion.

"Natsuki-kun, what do we do now?"

Fujiwara Chika asked in a low voice.

"No rush." Amamiya Natsuki's tone was calm. "Let's go further up and see, maybe we can find an exit to the second or third floor."

"Oh."

The group continued to walk up, but a shadow had fallen over everyone's hearts.

Several minutes later.

Murphy's Law was once again proven true; things inevitably developed in the worst possible direction.

The shopping mall only had five floors in total. Walking for several minutes was enough to go from the first floor to the fifth, yet before their eyes were still dim stairwells and endless walls, with no exit in sight.

"It's pretty much confirmed, we can't get out." Amamiya Natsuki stopped, calmly clapped his hands, "Forget about going downstairs, everyone conserve some energy, and let's analyze the possible situations."

"An alternate dimension?" Fujiwara Chika raised her hand, her expression serious, "I saw a foreign movie where a policeman and a thief were trapped in a stairwell for decades and couldn't get out, eventually becoming old people."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Cube?"

"Exactly." Fujiwara Chika nodded, "That's the movie."

"Trapped for decades, wouldn't they go crazy?" Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip, unable to help but retort, "I feel like I couldn't even last a month."

Definitely couldn't last.

In the movie, there were endless food and drinks, but this building was empty. There was no water or food here. You wouldn't even last a week!

"Um, could it be a ghost wall?"

The Glasses Girl, a passerby player, raised her hand and offered her opinion, "We've been bewildered by a ghost, which is why we can't find the way out."

Fujiwara Chika blinked:

"There are only monsters in the shopping mall, no ghosts, right?"

"There are ghosts." Hayasaka Ai quietly pressed her finger to her throat, changing her voice to avoid revealing her identity, "The woman in red with an umbrella we saw on the surveillance earlier, her body was transparent and she could pass through objects… obviously a ghost."

Shinomiya Kaguya's ears twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look towards Hayasaka Ai.

Strange, it felt somewhat inexplicably familiar…

"If it's truly a ghost wall, then it's easy to handle." Kitagawa Marin extended a finger, her voice clear, "I heard that a boy's urine specifically breaks ghost walls."

"Whoosh—"

All the girls turned their heads in unison, looking towards Amamiya Natsuki.

"Since you all are so expectant…"

Amamiya Natsuki silently reached for his waist, sighing softly, "It seems I can only sacrifice my innocence."

"We weren't expecting anything!"

Fujiwara Chika covered her face with both hands, unable to help but shout.

Kitagawa Marin also turned her pretty face away: "You should be shy at a time like this!"

"Shy? What's that?" Amamiya Natsuki snorted lightly, looking at the pink-haired idiot, and said seriously, "When a person is about to die of thirst, no matter what liquid it is, they can drink it in one gulp."

"…Too much!"

The pink-haired girl couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, as if a hamster stuffing sunflower seeds into its mouth.

He's openly slandering me!

"You wait." Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't bear to watch anymore, "Let's think of other methods."

The silver-haired elementary school student stood on her tiptoes, raising her small hand high, clearly having something to say.

"Aharen-san, what do you want to say?"

Fujiwara Chika bent down and put her ear close.

"…"

The silver-haired elementary school student raised her hand to cover her mouth, whispering secretly.

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya cast a curious gaze, Amamiya Natsuki pressed his brow, while casually observing his surroundings, and said:

"The elementary school student player I picked up on the way, her life motto is 'Secrets can only be told to one person at a time'."

"That's not it." Kitagawa Marin glared over, "It's clearly Aharen-san's voice that's super quiet, so only one person can hear her speak."

Amamiya Natsuki gently wiggled his pinky, "You actually exposed me to my face, I'm going to lose it."

"Tch." Kitagawa Marin folded her arms across her chest, raising her chin, "I'm not scared."

Fujiwara Chika turned her head and reached out: "I can't, bending over makes me feel a bit unstable… Natsuki-kun, hold my hand."

"Mm."

Amamiya Natsuki naturally held the pink-haired girl's hand.

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her eyes met Amamiya Natsuki's. She subtly moved her body, blocking them.

A moment later.

"Oh, I see." Fujiwara Chika stood up, her voice filled with pleasant surprise, "I know how to get out!"

The Glasses Girl, a passerby player, was startled and quickly said: "Eh, eh, how do we get out?"

"If I say it, it won't work." Fujiwara Chika shook her head, "Marin-chan, come here, come here, let Aharen-san tell you."

Kitagawa Marin nodded and stepped forward to listen.

A moment later.

"I see." The golden-haired girl clenched her right fist and gently tapped it into her palm, realizing with a sudden understanding, "The method is actually so simple."

"Kaguya-chan, it's your turn." Fujiwara Chika waved, "Come here, come here."

"Mm."

Shinomiya Kaguya stepped over, bent down, and leaned her ear to listen to the silver-haired elementary school student's sermon. After a short while, she nodded gently and said:

"I understand, thank you."

"It's my turn…"

The Glasses Girl stepped forward expectantly.

"You go after." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and scooped the silver-haired elementary school student into his arms, "I'll go first."

The silver-haired elementary school student raised her hand to tuck her falling hair behind her ear, leaned close to Amamiya Natsuki's ear, and began to whisper her teachings.

The next moment.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly reached out his right hand, grabbing at the empty void beside him: "Don, the Outlaw."

A stammering voice sounded in the air.

"…D-Don is here!"
