"Attention all teachers and students~" Teacher Dali's voice came over the broadcast, startling the three.
"Did everyone have fun at the eve festival? Here is an announcement from Babyls Headquarters! The countdown to the main festival begins! It will be held again this year! The signal from the eve festival to the main festival is the annual ceremony, the Opening Bell! One minute until the main festival opens! Everyone, hmm~! Actually, I feel it's not enough." As Teacher Dali spoke, the scene immediately became lively.
"30 seconds until the main festival begins~"
As the words fell, Shesi and Azu, wearing masks, spread their wings and flew onto the chains. Then, as the time reached the last second, they abruptly pulled open the curtain, revealing the huge, terrifying, chaotic Mobius Art Museum… It must be said that the initial immense shock made all the demons' legs tremble, and then two demons appeared from within.
"Welcome to the Magical Tools Club's haunted house, the Mobius Art Museum."
"This museum is now officially open and ready to welcome guests."
"Well then," x2
"Please welcome! Our three guests!"
The three were none other than Lead, Jazz, and Soi… As for why they had to be the first… perhaps it was because they were so shocked that they forgot to move back a step or two. Everyone else moved back two steps, making it look like they had stepped forward.
Iruma handed a contract to the three.
"Please sign this consent form."
The three demons:???
"I understand that this plan may Lead to mental and physical burdens, including but not limited to health abnormalities…"
The three demons all swallowed simultaneously.
"The museum's pipes are very dark, please use this 'Lamp of Courage.' Oh, by the way, a reminder, Galuna-sama seems to want to come out and see the outside world~"
After Iruma finished speaking, he pushed the three demons inside.
"What… Ah!"
The ghost hand at the entrance instantly startled Lead.
"Allow me to say hello to Galuna-sama."
The three demons slowly fumbled forward using the light. Suddenly, Lead felt a small piece of ice drop onto the back of his neck, instantly startling him and making him scream. The other two demons, already tense, were even more startled by Lead, and both simultaneously gave Lead a chop to the hand.
"Don't suddenly shout!"
"I was scared by the ice!"
"It's just a decoration, isn't it?"
However, after Lead's outburst, the original tense atmosphere eased quite a bit.
Lead swallowed and then looked at the two.
"It's so scary, it's pitch black all around, I can't see anything."
"After all, there's only this much light…" Soi retorted.
"This thing is called the 'Lamp of Courage,' right? Is it valuable?"
The two: … "Ah… we've reached the end, what is this?" Soi shined the light upwards.
"Please stroke the head of the doll on your left three times…" The three turned their heads and saw a ghost doll where there was a faint light.
"…"
The three exchanged glances, all indicating they didn't want to go. Finally, Lead, the ultimate loser of rock-paper-scissors, went to interact.
"Then… then I'll touch… touch it, okay?"
Lead nervously stroked it three times, but there seemed to be no problem?
Seeing this, Jazz and Soi, although relieved, seemed a little disappointed?
Lead looked at the two angrily.
"You two!"
Just as Lead was about to say something else, he saw Jazz and Soi's terrified gazes. Lead stiffly turned his head.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The doll had quietly crawled over, almost reaching Lead.
Lead instantly pulled away and ran to the other side. Seeing this, the two also didn't hesitate and immediately ran off.
The three demons ran for a distance, then turned around. Seeing that the ghost doll hadn't caught up, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then Jazz suddenly wondered what was in his hand… when did he get a piece of paper?
"Please give it to that gentle coachman. If he is in the corridor, please do not move."
The three heard footsteps approaching from that direction and instantly stood still. Then they saw what was coming… walking or perhaps crawling. Its huge body was covered in blood, four hands each holding an axe, and its eyeballs seemed to have just been put in, still feeling a bit unaccustomed. Then it looked at the three. Seeing that the three hadn't moved, it slowly walked forward, but its steps were very slow, as if waiting for something. Lead finally couldn't resist moving a little to the side, and then the huge body turned around.
"You… moved, didn't you?" A chilling face revealed a terrifying smile. Although the three demons didn't know why this thing would smile, they knew… they knew it was time to run.
The three demons immediately started running, then shook off the "gentle demon" at a corner. After passing through many more mechanisms and objects, they finally arrived at the deepest exhibition hall. After entering, the three found that it seemed quite bright here, didn't it? The further they walked inside, the more comfortable they felt. The lighting and white roses here seemed to represent a beautiful encounter.
The three saw the painting covered by a canvas in front.
"What is that?"
Suddenly, the canvas slipped off by itself, revealing a smiling Galuna inside.
All three were surprised by Galuna's face, not expecting this demon to be so beautiful… "Hello, everyone~"
Perhaps it was because they had been scared too much, but the three seemed to hear the painting talking to them?
The three simultaneously began to tremble. Although the painting in front of them was very beautiful, it wasn't right for it to talk, was it? The three demons' instincts told them they had to escape quickly.
At this moment, the painting continued to speak.
"Would you like to come to my carriage to talk?"
The smiling Galuna continued to smile at the three. Then the demon from the corridor also appeared here, pulling a carriage behind it. The coachman seemed to look at the three mockingly, then invited the three to get into the carriage. Afterward, he also moved Galuna into it. The three demons didn't dare to look up at the painting in front of them, but for some reason, the carriage suddenly seemed to tilt to one side. In that swaying moment, Jazz saw something written on the roof of the carriage:
"Run, burn her! She can't escape!"
Upon hearing this, the three demons, without hesitation, poured the flames from their Lamps of Courage onto Galuna and ran out. After running out of the carriage and seeing the twinkling starlight outside, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death!"
"Exactly, why did Iruma-kun make such a terrifying thing!"
"But… it was a bit exciting."
"Yeah, yeah… I definitely need to get something delicious later."
"Lead, why have you become so greedy too?"
"Eh? I didn't say that?"
"Eh? Soi…" Jazz looked at Soi, only to see Soi shaking his head in terror. The three stiffly turned their heads and saw Galuna, dressed in a long white dress, smiling at them.
"Hello, everyone~"
