"Waaah...!"
"Mm... mmph...!"
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the crackling sounds in the hall finally ceased, leaving only these muffled whimpers.
Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness had willfully challenged Fang Li despite the gap in their strength. In the end, just like last night, they were tied up and hung from the ceiling again. This time, their mouths had been stuffed as well, leaving them only able to whimper and squirm like worms.
