"Ahhhhhhhh!" A pitiful sound came from inside the room. Even standing outside, one could hear the sounds of heavy objects being struck, making the entire Tohsaka residence seem like a haunted house. Tokiomi and Kirei were both scared out of their wits.
"What's going on?!" Looking at their lifeless eyes, had they just seen the eighteenth level of hell? Such terrified expressions!
"Aww~~~" Just as Erza was asking the question, another painful howl came from inside the house.
"Oh dear!" Erza felt a surge of joy, and almost laughed.
Suddenly! The doorway snapped open, revealing a half-covered mosaic. The limbs, no longer recognizable as hands, stretched out towards the four people standing outside.
"Quick...quick...save me!" A weak voice came from a blood-stained, deformed face that was unrecognizable from the four people's perspective. The face had become the appearance of a demon, and it looked incredibly painful.
"No~~~ Ah!" Shan Shan cried out as she felt herself being dragged into the house little by little!
"Help me! Ah!" Her ten fingers dug into the floor, but she couldn't stop herself from entering the house step by step! Shan Shan abandoned her dignity and begged the four for help! But when the four saw the bright red eyes in the house, they turned away in tacit understanding.
"No~~~" Poor Sparkle was left with ten bright red marks. Her figure disappeared into the darkness, and a heart-wrenching wail rang out once more.
"Yamete! Ah~~~~"
"Let's go out for a late-night snack tonight!" Erza said, turning to the three people beside her.
"Thumbs up~~ I agree," Shi Chen said, taking out a small handkerchief and wiping the sweat from his forehead. His voice trembled as he spoke.
"..." Kirei was speechless.
So the four of them left the house, giving up! To the golden retriever, may you be free from pain in heaven! Rest in peace!
The next morning, Erza was preparing to go to the arcade during the day.
"Kirei! What is this?!" Erza asked briefly, watching him deal with a pile of red water.
Kirei didn't answer, but pointed to a corner of the room. "That bunch of mosaics!" Okay! Simple and clear.
"Glass! Want to go to the arcade?" Erza cast a resurrection spell on Gilgamesh, followed by a dozen healing spells. Once Gilgamesh could barely be seen in human form, Erza woke him up and invited him out to play.
"How could I, the king, be left out of such a delightful occasion? Woman, lead the way for me!" She truly lives up to her 'cucumber' reputation for being a jerk; wasn't yesterday's lesson enough? Perhaps the blow was too harsh? Has she lost her memory?
"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" Erza asked the blond man curiously, wondering if he had been "trained" too harshly.
"What's wrong! I fell asleep as soon as I got back yesterday!" Sure enough! I feel sorry for you, buddy! Erza patted the golden retriever's shoulder. Tears streamed down your face, glistening drops! Poor thing!
"Hey! Woman, why are you looking at me with such pity?" the blond man protested angrily, but still walked out with Erza.
"Please call me 'Gaming Guru'," Erza said smugly after taking down the enemy with Iori Yagami!
"This is a really interesting form of entertainment. I've found something fun and a good way to kill time. I've almost learned how to use it. How about we play a game?" The golden retriever, who had been watching for a while, said with a masochistic grin.
"Newbie! Let's go!" The golden retriever didn't mind and walked straight to the other side. He started inserting coins!
One minute later!
"Come on!" the golden retriever laughed happily, as if he had found a fun toy. He laughed like a child!
Twenty minutes later!
"Haha, hahaha, amazing, so amazing! Hmm, I see, that's how you play it!" The golden retriever exclaimed excitedly.
One hour later!
"Alright, alright, I've figured it out! Let's try again! This time I'm serious!" the blond-haired man, whose face looked a little grim, encouraged.
Two hours later!
The golden retriever's face had turned completely black.
Three hours later!
The golden retriever's face could drip black ink!
"Hmph, very well, very well. Woman, you've really angered me." The blond man revealed a ferocious smile, exuding a chilling killing intent. Just as Lance, who had materialized beside Erza, thought he was about to make a move...
"I will avenge myself! It's my turn to fight back!" Erza said arrogantly, almost making everyone laugh.
"What should I do? I'm not really looking forward to it!" Erza taunted the blond man with a mocking smile.
"Don't be so smug, woman! I will avenge myself."
Then, the two fought again.
The outcome was predictable. The golden retriever was utterly crushed again. And in the same way—Erza was left with almost no health, and he was KO'd at the last 59 seconds, just when it seemed like a draw. You can imagine how the golden retriever must be feeling right now.
This is bullying! You're bullying me, aren't you?! I've never seen anyone bullied like this before! Anyone else would have burst into tears. But the Golden Retriever has a pretty strong tolerance.
"However, this is just a toy. I am indeed inferior to you in this respect. I have come to deeply understand this over this period of time. Aside from this aspect, just how dominant will you be in other areas? I look forward to it."
The golden retriever is gone, and I clutch my heart in sorrow. It's gone! Now he needs the comfort of his best friend.
"Sigh! Before I knew it, I was playing a little late." After leaving the arcade, Erza looked at the stars in the sky and sighed.
"Bang!" Just as Erza returned to the Tohsaka family home, a five-star hotel not far away suddenly exploded! Flames quickly engulfed the entire hotel.
"No! No way! Just going out for a bit and I triggered the story. World! How small are you?!" Erza stood there for a moment, thinking, deciding that side quests were too troublesome. She'd better go back and wait for the main quest!
