"Don't wear it!"
Fujiwara Chika quickly stopped her.
"Hmm?"
Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head and looked over, her eyes puzzled.
Under the hazy moonlight, Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed slightly, and she guiltily averted her gaze: "I haven't told Kaguya-chan about what happened before. As soon as I came in, I encountered a shark doll. My body involuntarily put on the doll costume, and then I almost died…"
"I think it's worth a try. There should be no problem wearing a regular doll costume," Amamiya Natsuki said seriously. "Kaguya-san, I'll leave the verification to you."
"…"
The pink-haired girl puffed out her pink cheeks and turned to glare at Amamiya Natsuki.
"You wouldn't be trying to feed Kaguya-chan water, would you?"
"No more feeding, my lips still hurt…"
"You, you're still talking!"
"…"
"Before that, we need to send this toy bear away." Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Hayasaka, "Hanamori, where is the small train?"
Hayasaka Ai pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on her nose, covering her face, then subtly pressed her finger against her throat to disguise her voice, checking the surveillance:
"The small train is currently on the third floor. If we go through the passage on the right, we can just catch it."
"Then let's go."
Without a word, the group quickly arrived at the third-floor Corridor via the fire escape, where they saw the small train slowly approaching.
"Guests…"
The Pumpkin Head driver turned to look, and upon seeing Amamiya Natsuki standing at the front, he immediately scoffed, too lazy to say anything further.
"Good evening, Mr. Pumpkin Head," Amamiya Natsuki introduced, neither humble nor arrogant. "This is my friend, Big Bear. He just woke up from hibernation and came from the deep mountains to rely on me. He's never ridden a small train since he was little, so I'd like to ask you to let him experience the feeling of driving without a license."
"Human, do you also have a friend named Little Bear?"
The Pumpkin Head couldn't help but retort.
"How did you know?" Amamiya Natsuki looked surprised, pressing the toy bear in his hand onto the small train seat. "I do have a friend named Little Bear. Maybe he's on his way to me. When he arrives, I'll bring Little Bear over to experience driving without a license."
"…"
Perhaps the number of rules determines strength.
The small train has the most rules. The toy bear, dummy model, and so on, only have one or two rules. Once they get on the train, they cannot break free and can only obediently be passengers.
After dealing with the doll bear, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly noticed an inconspicuous small pocket on the belly of the shark doll costume, which he hadn't checked before. His heart stirred slightly, and he reached in to search, quickly finding something.
Taking it out, it was precisely the purple item he had just obtained from the toy bear's mouth, looking like a coin, made of neither gold nor jade.
"Eh, there's actually something like this?"
Fujiwara Chika looked over curiously.
"I don't know what it's for yet."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the greenish-black coin in his hand, and a prompt appeared before his eyes.
[You have successfully found a mysterious coin. You decide to keep it safe.]
Although he didn't know what this thing was for, he could put it away for now.
Hayasaka Ai reminded:
"You can check if the dummy model has this item on it."
Upon hearing this, both dummy models simultaneously turned their heads and looked over.
Looking at the two dummy models sitting side by side, Kitagawa Marin's pretty face turned slightly pale, recalling the fear of becoming a doll girl again, and she quickly hid behind Amamiya Natsuki.
"It seems there isn't any." Amamiya Natsuki checked the two dummy models while walking along with the small train. "Their mouths can't open, they have no clothes, and no pockets… Let's try putting on a monster costume to see what happens."
Hayasaka Ai walked in the middle, holding a tablet to constantly monitor the shopping mall Corridor. Miss Ghost walked in front, using her body to explore the way. What should have been a midnight operation full of crises and trepidation, for some reason, became exceptionally stable.
Looking at Amamiya Natsuki and the others walking in front, the passing player silently clenched her pink fist. Sure enough, clinging to the strong was the correct way to clear the game!
Walking cautiously, the group soon arrived at the entrance of the doll shop where Fujiwara Chika had first appeared.
"There are no monsters inside." Miss Ghost passed through the wall, and soon passed back out, diligently working. "Everyone can come in now."
The group pushed the door open and entered the room. To be safe, they re-checked the environment inside the shop.
"We're back again."
Fujiwara Chika looked around and gently exhaled.
She had first appeared in this doll shop, and after much difficulty, she found a way out, only to have her body controlled by the shark doll costume, almost dying of thirst—that feeling was still vivid in her memory, and also…
This pink-haired girl's pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Amamiya Natsuki.
Amamiya Natsuki happened to look over.
Their eyes met.
Fujiwara Chika casually tilted her head up and softly whistled.
"Chika, why are you whistling?"
Kitagawa Marin asked, puzzled.
"…On a whim!"
On the other side.
Shinomiya Kaguya reached out to touch the doll costume, or rather, the animal pajama: "I don't feel anything."
"Normal," Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and said. "Things that can move are clearly very few."
Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her beautiful lips, picked and chose for a moment, and then picked up a penguin doll costume: "I'll try this one."
If she were alone, or surrounded by unfamiliar players, Shinomiya Kaguya would certainly not risk herself. But now that Amamiya Natsuki and Fujiwara were by her side, she could verify with confidence.
The penguin doll costume's head could be removed separately, and the zipper was at the back, making it a prop used for stage plays, quite simple to put on.
"Kaguya-chan, I'll help."
Fujiwara Chika stepped forward to help zip it up, then nervously asked, "Has your body become strange?"
"No." Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head, moving her hands. The black and white penguin wings flapped up and down, looking wobbly and endearingly clumsy.
Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but take out his phone from his pocket, targeting the Dumbfounded Miss.
"Natsuki-kun, what are you doing with your phone?"
Shinomiya Kaguya quickly looked over.
"I don't know," Amamiya Natsuki said seriously. "My right hand has its own ideas."
"Liar," Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but retort. "You've already opened camera mode, you clearly want to take a picture!"
No wonder, the Dumbfounded Miss, wobbling in the penguin doll costume, her cuteness soared. Not taking a picture to collect it felt like missing out on a billion.
"Don't take it." Shinomiya Kaguya turned her pretty face away, trying to lift her penguin wings to block her face.
Her hair wasn't even neatly combed, it would definitely look bad in the picture!
Amidst the commotion, Hayasaka Ai suddenly spoke:
"There's something happening in the Corridor, a player is being chased by a monster."
"…"
Everyone quickly quieted down and went to the Corridor.
They saw a female player running in panic, with a zombie reindeer missing half of its antler chasing behind her.
"Puyo puyo~"
The sound of something like a slime wobbling entered their ears, instantly making them feel dazed and lost.
