Chapter 156: Who would stuff a stranger’s things into their mouth?
In the student council president’s office on the fifth floor of Building 2 of Shikoku Gakuin, or rather, in another space within this office.
“Mmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm~”
The round-faced girl with pigtails leaned back in the executive chair, humming an unknown cheerful tune and intently playing with a lifelike exquisite doll in her hand.
Her chubby little hands moved the doll’s limbs into various strange poses, and what was surprising was that the doll’s face also displayed expressions like a real person, changing into various kinds of agony with the girl’s movements.
“…”
The faceless monster beside her exuded an aura of irritation. Even with only a mouth, it was clear that flames representing emotions were emanating from him. In the end, he just scraped a piece of wood off the table with his tongue and shoved it into his mouth, continuing to stare at the bizarre computer screen in front of him, as if operating something.
“!”
The round-faced girl, who had been relaxed, suddenly changed her expression. She turned her head to look at Kurokawa Iori not far away, then put on a playful smile, put the doll in her hand into her pocket, and said to the faceless man manipulating the computer in the distance with a half-smile.
«Kurokawa.»
«What is it!»
Kurokawa Iori irritably picked at his featureless face. Deep marks were left on his pale face. He gritted his sharp teeth and answered with some anger.
«Hmm… For the sake of your toy, I’ll give you an extra reminder, the thing you asked me to put inside that little rat’s head seems to have been eliminated~»
Adjusting her slightly wrinkled skirt from sitting in the chair, the girl took short strides and ran to Kurokawa Iori’s side, saying.
«Hiss— It was cleared so quickly, is it because of Warhammer?»
Kurokawa Iori nodded. His pale hands moved swiftly on the keyboard, and then several character profiles appeared on the computer screen.
«Yikes, Kokuzou Hito, a psychic, so this is the guy who dispelled my [Shadow Dust]!»
«Kurokawa, should I go and kill him? He cracked my ability so easily, it’s really a bit upsetting.»
The girl charmingly shook her head, the ornaments on her head swaying with her fluffy little head, and she looked at the information on the screen, asking Kurokawa Iori beside her with a coy expression.
«No!»
The tongue with the spectacles instantly shot out towards the girl beside him, but soon stopped. He extended his hand and patted the girl on the head twice.
«My dear Granny, the plan is now at the stage of casting the net. It can capture many future core members for the Organization. Even if not for me, for [Shadow] Master and the development of the Organization, you can’t disrupt me this time!»
Irritably scratching the healed skin on his face until it cracked again, Kurokawa Iori looked helplessly at the cute round-faced girl beside him. Being with her, Kurokawa Iori truly felt that he wasn’t the monster, but this seemingly very cute little girl!
«Tch, you always like to use Boss Kuromon to pressure me. Kirie won’t play with you anymore!»
«I’m going to report to Uncle [Shadow] that you designed and framed his niece out of revenge for him calling you a monster last time!»
Hearing Kurokawa Iori’s words, the girl, whose eyes were originally sparkling, suddenly dimmed. Her chubby little face visibly puffed up, and she quickly said a string of words to Kurokawa Iori with her hands on her hips. Then, without waiting for Kurokawa Iori’s explanation, she waved her hand and conjured a black portal made of mist and plunged into it.
«Eh, Kirie!»
«……..»
Looking at the departing little princess, Kurokawa Iori rubbed his head with a headache. Although it was good news that Kirie didn’t stay here to interfere with his plan.
However, if that guy really went to Fukada Akihiko’s doorstep to add fuel to the fire, that guy would probably not even do the mission in the north and would come looking for him directly.
Pressing his temples with a headache, Kurokawa Iori waved his hands and made arrangements for his subordinates waiting for orders on the computer. Then, he raised his hand and turned off the computer screen.
Moving his chair to the small cabinet by the table, the cabinet was now covered by dark flesh, making it impossible to tell its original appearance.
He put his hand into the entrance of the strange drawer with sharp teeth and took out a dark, old-fashioned mobile phone covered in mucus.
Taking a deep breath and scrolling through the dial, Kurokawa Iori picked up the phone. His previously impatient tone instantly became normal and respectful.
«[Shadow] Master, it’s me, Kurokawa…….»
…….
At the same time, in the girl’s room on the other side.
«Little Black, don’t die! Hold on!»
A voice with a strange emotion came from the girl’s dilapidated bedroom, and the scene inside the room was equally bizarre.
The girl in casual clothes was kneeling on the bed, her stern face showing a trace of sadness as if she was looking at something in front of her.
And what the girl’s thin arms were holding was a humanoid creature with sharp teeth, a withered and rotting body, and a disgusting aura.
Kazumi was already regretting her previous actions. She shook Little Black in her hand forcefully twice, but the latter remained unresponsive, lying on the ground as if it had truly become a corpse.
[No! Little Black is so cute and obedient, I should have let another ghoul eat it when testing the medicine!!]
She awkwardly scratched her head, looking at Little Black, who was continuously absorbing the death aura emanating from the Black Coffin but still motionless. A hint of sadness flickered in the girl’s eyes.
It was as if her favorite kitten had died due to her mistake. That sense of loss and guilt would last for quite some time.
Kazumi touched the ghoul’s head, hoping it would stand up and nuzzle her hand like usual, and squat in a place where she could just reach to pet it.
But this time, it seemed it could no longer stand up.
«Damn [Dark] Organization! How could they bear to poison such an obedient and cute Little Black?!»
She angrily waved her fist, her face showing indignation, completely disregarding the fact that *she* was the one who personally fed the pill to Little Black’s mouth.
After being angry by herself for a while, Kazumi also managed to emerge from the grief of her dead pet. Although Little Black was the more obedient and cute one, she still had another one to fill the gap, right? Although that one wasn’t as cute, she could make do with it for a while to cope with the emergency.
«How about… calling you Little Yellow? Or Little Mao? Or Little Zhi?»
She summoned another slightly stunned ghoul, and the girl, with her chin resting on her hand, was seriously considering what name would be more convenient for this ghoul that had successfully taken the position.
Suddenly, a strong and terrifying aura of death erupted from behind her. The ghoul in front of her, whose name was unknown, be it Little Yellow or Little Mao, showed a rare biological reaction, trembling and crouching down as if encountering its natural enemy.
Her eyes lit up with excitement and she turned, her eyes meeting the cute figure with a familiar aura. However, the energy emanating from it and its completely different appearance proved that it had undergone some strange changes.
«Little Black!!»
