They weren't exactly living people.
They were...
Little gummy bears that could move!
They walked along the road, looking adorable, and came in all sorts of colors.
"What the hell..."
"Forget it. Whether it makes sense or not, whether it makes sense or not..."
Chu Yunyi repeated to himself, trying to force this principle into his brain.
Once he had done that,

It was about as big as a large dog. It wasn't half a person's height, but it still looked enormous.

Chu Yunyi had his expression under control, but he nearly burst out laughing.
The gummy bear didn't open its mouth.
But Chu Yunyi, who kept NO.6 [Words of All Spirits] active, seemed to hear a voice:
"Then you should ask the Rainbow Princess."
"She knows everything."
Chu Yunyi nodded, thinking, What the hell is a Rainbow Princess?

"Uh, so where is the Rainbow Princess?" Chu Yunyi's expression was hard to describe.
He felt like he was in a children's cartoon, the kind only little kids watched. This world was downright bizarre...

If that bunch of sweet-tooth freaks from Night Star came here...
Would they...
Eat all of Gluttony Heaven? Would they go around gnawing on gummy bears?
Chu Yunyi shook his head,
