A great hand

"Simply put, meow, this is a room you can't leave without **. Please complete the CGs here, and you'll clear the game. How lucky you are, Ciel. You couldn't even protect your own ending before, but now you have such a good opportunity. Does eating curry really bring good luck?"

Neco-Arc's words echoed both inside and outside the room. Upon hearing them, Ciel felt as if his brain was about to catch fire, and a tidal wave of emotions surged within him.

Huh? Here? No, no, no, this can't be right. Even though it's the same room as mine, this is just too sudden.

However... if this really is the only way...

"Ciel." Bai Mo's voice interrupted the girl's reverie, and she suddenly stood at attention, like a newcomer to the workplace.

"Yes! That..."

"Don't just stand there, quickly help me find a way out of here. You should know more about Magecraft than I do, right?" Bai Mo knocked on the doorknob and said with a frown. These words instantly poured a bucket of cold water on Ciel from head to toe.

Ciel's expression froze instantly. Although she hadn't thought about such a thing, Bai Mo's behavior essentially negated her charm as a woman.

"It's even sturdier than I thought; it feels like it's all connected. If I were to attack it directly, I might destroy the entire coffee shop. But the God-Severing Thunderbolt should be able to remove this door, right?"

If all else fails, give it a try.

Bai Mo placed his hand on the door, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed what was happening. Watching this scene, Ciel sighed deeply and said:

"Hey Bai Mo, have you been spending too much time with strange things? Have you lost interest in humans? Even though I know that's impossible, your attitude makes me feel utterly unattractive..."

"What are you saying that's unclear? Don't worry, Ciel, you're beautiful even without hints, and you'll definitely be popular in the future. But can we open this door first..."

Just as Bai Mo was speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the door. Then, it seemed as if a hundred million murderers were standing outside the wooden door, their murderous aura penetrating through the door and the wooden planks emitting a piercing wail.

In a dark room, Neco-Arc, holding a glass of red wine and setting up a camera, froze, then a voice rang out both inside and outside the room.

"Um... did I forget to turn off the outdoor speakers?"

Outdoors, Cathy Palug huddled together, shivering. The mighty Fourth Beast, the Primate Murder, Gaia's monster, now resembled a small animal encountering its natural enemy.

For before that door, Arcueid, like Demon God, was relentlessly striking the wooden door with punches. The door shimmered with light, containing unimaginable magical power, but each strike caused that light to tremble violently.

Arcueid's long golden hair was already flowing, and a layer of iridescent light flowed over her golden Mystic Eyes. She exuded a terrifying killing intent like a ferocious beast, and every breath she took emitted a chilling mist. She was determined to devour the enemy who tried to take away her most precious possession!

"Ciel!" Arcueid slammed his fist on the wooden door, sending a jolt through the entire café.

"If you dare touch him, even the slightest thing, I will kill you, chop you into mincemeat, and leave you with no burial place!" Arcueid roared and howled.

The thought that her room was utterly meaningless, while Ciel's was... this intense imbalance tormented her.

"Arcueid, calm down, how could you do something like that? Tsk, can't the sound get out?" Bai Mo said from behind the door, but the violent banging on the door didn't stop. This room seemed to have been designed with extremely perverse tastes to allow sound to travel in one direction.

"Damn it, we have to get out of here before Arcueid demolishes it," Bai Mo said, frowning.

Behind him, Ciel listened to Arcueid banging on the door and her hysterical roars. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of pleasure.

Moreover, she had clearly not done anything wrong, yet Arcueid was threatening her like this. For a moment, Ciel felt a rebellious impulse, and the thought, "If that's how it is, then I'll do as you wish," arose in her mind.

Calm down, Ciel. I'm doing this to help the righteous person who has taken good care of me. After all, Arcueid's actions have undoubtedly set a time limit for this level.

Thinking this, Ciel took a deep breath, and just as he was about to say something, the banging on the door became even louder.

After gaining Magnetic Field Power, Arcueid's senses seemed to become stronger. She immediately felt a strong sense of unease, as if something was about to happen, something she utterly loathed.

Just as she was about to unleash her Marble Phantasm and the Magnetic Field Power, and start the explosion without thinking twice, an unexpected change occurred.

The door in front of me seemed to have dimmed considerably for some reason.

Arcueid immediately calmed down, then glanced at Cathy Palug, who was huddled up behind him.

"Ah, right, how could I forget about you? You seem to hold the Principle of Comparison, possessing the characteristic of always being stronger than your opponent, right?"

Upon hearing Arcueid's words, Cathy Palug felt a chill run down her spine. Just as she was about to run, Thousand Locks, each imbued with Magnetic Field Power, bound the White Beast tightly, slamming it against the door like a meteor hammer.

"Fu! Ji!" (Gaia, save me!)

However, no one could save it, so Cathy Palug could only muster her strength and slam it heavily against the door. At the same time, ripples of magic spread throughout the entire café.

In a dark corner, Neco-Arc bristled, "How could this be? Coffee Shop, didn't I sign a pact with you? Why are you betraying me? Is this 16+?"

Hmm? My actions might provoke the wrath of some dangerous individual, and to avoid being implicated in the future, they're abandoning me now?

What a joke, you idiot! Abandoning a cat is a sin against the gods!

With a loud bang, the door was blasted open by a white ball of fluff, and there lay Cathy Palug on the ground, utterly weak, as if she would breathe her last at any moment.

"Fu..." (I really want to escape...)

"Tsk, what a useless cat." Ciel clicked his tongue inwardly as he watched Arcueid barge in. Then, as if realizing something, he shook his head, seemingly trying to shake something out of his head.

"Cathy Palug, are you still alive?"

Bai Mo lifted Cathy Palug, and it could only let out a weak wail. Its body was shrinking, as if it had exhausted a great deal of strength, just like Arcueid had back then.

Bai Mo tried her best to soothe its physical pain, feeling helpless. Sometimes, you really have to trust your gut feeling.

A gust of wind blew by, and Arcueid rushed forward like lightning. Just as Bai Mo was about to say something, he saw Arcueid's big eyes, which looked like they were about to cry, with a faint iridescent glow on them.

Seeing the iridescent light, Bai Mo frowned. The next moment, Arcueid quickly sniffed at something like a kitten.

"It doesn't taste like Ciel, that's great." As if confirming something, she hugged Bai Mo tightly with joy. Bai Mo shook her head helplessly, pulled her away, and said:

"What are you thinking? How could you possibly do something so absurd?"

"Of course, do you think everyone is as emotional as you?" Ciel walked over expressionlessly, calmly picked up the freshly brewed coffee and took a sip, but Ciel usually had a steady breathing, seemed to be sighing slightly.

"Besides, that cat said it was prepared to record the video. You can tell that's impossible." Bai Mo's voice was calm and even from beginning to end, but Ciel was drinking coffee, choked on his words.

"Ahem, this coffee tastes a bit strange."

She breathed a deep sigh of relief: thank goodness she hadn't said it aloud, or she would have been socially dead.

Hearing this, Arcueid seemed finally relieved and laughed, "That's great! Then let's take care of things here too. I see the lights outside have gone out, just like the first one."

There's another door? Are we going to take Cathy Palug with us?

Bai Mo shook his head and said, "There's no need for that anymore. I already sensed that guy. It seems you've used up all the magic you were using to shield yourself. Although the barrier is still strong, it's not enough to hold you back."

With that, he flicked his finger, and a Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade sliced open the floor of the room. Beneath it, a Neco-Arc looked at everyone with a terrified expression, holding a video camera in its hand.
