Being Handsome Really Is a Kind of Trouble...
This was a situation they hadn't anticipated.
After carefully carving their way through the Mirror Maze and finally arriving at the castle, a blonde little Girl in Princess dress appeared before them.
Welcome, everyone!
With hands lifting the hem of her white dress, the little Girl leaned forward slightly and gracefully gave them a bow.
"Welcome to Anna's Castle. I am Anna, the Master here. Please come with me into my castle, and I will provide you with the most Perfect hospitality. I hope you enjoy your stay here."
"Entertainment? Does it refer to those abandoned Doll in the woods?"
Looking at the blonde little Girl in front of him, who looked no different from an ordinary person and was wearing White Princess Dress, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He never expected that Anna, who was on a mission, would swagger in front of them.
The other person seems rather frail... Perhaps we could try killing them here?
However, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, Bai Zhi decisively chose to give it up.
Courting death has never been his option. Killing the other party here seems simple, after all, the other party is just a weak and helpless little Girl. However, the words "extremely dangerous" in the System Prompt are still vivid in his mind.
"Anna is a good girl. She likes obedient and cute toys. Those toys aren't cute at all, and they've been played with until they're broken. Isn't it common sense that unlovable toys should be thrown away?"
Turning her head to look at Bai Zhi, the little Girl had an innocent smile on her face.
"My esteemed guest, please... Oh, so much time has passed, it seems a Prince has finally arrived at my manor~"
Upon seeing Bai Zhi's face, Anna's eyes lit up involuntarily, and she happily reached out her hand to him.
"Your His Highness the Prince, would you be interested in staying to accompany Anna forever?"
"..."
Steel Bones turned around and glanced at the person behind him, a strange look on his face.
While he admitted that the other person was indeed very handsome and had exceptionally high looks, to have Dungeon Boss fall head over heels for him right away... that's at least a 12 or 13 point in innate Charisma, right?
Should I try increasing my Charisma level sometime? After all, I'm not bad looking...
He involuntarily took a step back, while a certain Young Girl unconsciously stepped forward, staring expressionlessly at the blonde Girl in front of her, her body subtly blocking Bai Zhi's path.
"... Sorry, not interested."
After a moment's hesitation, Bai Zhi shook his head firmly.
"Really? But Anna thinks she still has a chance."
Anna glanced at the expressionless Young Girl who was vaguely blocking Bai Zhi's way, shook her head with some regret, then lifted her skirt and turned to walk into the castle.
"Alright, we've already wasted enough time. Distinguished guests, please follow me into the castle. The Game is about to begin, and you're among the last to arrive..."
"You hesitated just now."
Turning her head to look at Bai Zhi, the Young Girl's gaze was cold and aloof.
"Yes, after all, who could refuse an invitation from a cute Blonde Loli in White Princess Dress?"
With a slight pout, Bai Zhi took the lead and followed behind Anna.
"However, I have no interest in being Doll, and the word 'forever' is too terrifying... Alright, hurry up and catch up. No matter what the situation is now, we just need to remain unchanged."
"..."
In the central hall of the castle, Bai Zhi and his companions met their other Teammate.
The five-person team led by the March-shi, along with the Girl with the headphones around her neck, had clearly changed their outfits, seemingly because Girl had been bombed earlier.
Upon seeing the three of them follow them in, the six people sitting there all wore various strange expressions.
"Alright, all the guests have finally gathered. Now, let me announce the rules for inside the castle~"
Anna happily climbed into her seat, wobbling as she stood on the chair.
"I am the Master of this castle and the owner of this Rose Manor. You can call me the beautiful Anna ~"
"Yes, for beautiful Anna."
Bai Zhi raised his hand, instantly attracting the attention of a crowd.
"Your His Highness the Prince, you can call Anna whatever you like~"
Turning to look at Bai Zhi, Anna gave him a sweet smile.
Then the gazes that had been focused on Bai Zhi suddenly became strange, including expressions of envy, shock, and admiration.
--The Young Girl's gaze grew even colder.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Anna clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back to herself.
"This is Anna's castle. Esteemed guests, you are welcome to choose any room within the castle grounds. I will provide you with free room and board. Furthermore, each of you may make one request each day... This is Anna's Gift."
Her gaze swept leisurely across the faces of each Player, a bright smile on her face.
"That's right, you heard me correctly. Every day you can make one request to me, and I will choose one from those requests to grant your wish."
"Oh, is any request acceptable?"
Upon hearing this, the Girl, chewing Bubble Gum and unceremoniously putting her legs up on the edge of the table, raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, anything Anna can do, we can do too!"
Anna returned a bright smile.
"Inside the castle, each of you can only choose one room; two or more people cannot share a room. Every evening, you will receive an envelope, and you can write your requests on it. Remember, after writing your requests, you must put the envelope back outside the door, otherwise I won't be able to keep track of them."
"If that's the case, then what should we do?"
After the other person, March-shi smiled and began to speak.
"Since you have been so generous in giving us such a great gift, shouldn't we reciprocate in some way?"
"Of course, after all, you reap what you sow, right?"
After glancing at the March-shi, Anna happily held up three fingers in front of her.
"It's very simple, you just need to play a few Game with Anna... These are Anna's Game."
