This was Catherine's third death. Because of the game's settings, the revival time increased with each death, and this time, her revival time had reached half an hour.
As Catherine continued sinking through the Nightmare Space's mire, she remained fully conscious.
Recalling how she had been instantly killed for acting too rashly and recklessly, she did not get angry or go mad like she had after her previous two deaths, nor did she cause parts of the Nightmare Space to fall into turmoil.
This time, she appeared very calm.
She hugged her knees and sank into the depths of the Nightmare Space, quietly waiting for her rebirth. There was even a faint smile on her black lips.
"Ha-ha... I can't believe I made such a mistake. If Boss found out, I'd definitely be demoted to an Apprentice Clown, and I might even have to retake the membership assessment.
"Was it really the long vacation that made me physically sluggish? Or have I stayed in the circus too long and become too arrogant and conceited?
"This death was fantastic. I can finally calm down and think things through, slowly reflecting on my shortcomings and foolishness. It's time to show my real skills, isn't it, Catherine~"
When the revival was complete and the egg-shaped body bloomed like a flower,
Catherine calmly took out the Treasure Box and reached inside, rummaging for something that had been pressed beneath everything else and that she had not used in a very long time.
As she rummaged, she suddenly noticed a problem:
"Huh? My revival time after death was half an hour this time... How come That Guy William still hasn't died back yet?"
Half an hour earlier.
Catherine's physical death had directly caused a long-lasting "rainfall."
