Chapter 104 Descendants of the Former Kingdom
Honestly, the moment that cracking sound rang out, my heart sank.
Most unexpected events that lead to experimental errors arise from the accumulation of small mistakes.
Uneven distribution of magic, changes in ambient humidity, shifts in wind direction... or even subtle deviations left over from the depiction of a certain line.
Only a solid foundation can build a sturdy building; a sandcastle built on a rusty foundation will naturally not withstand the onslaught of the waves.
Everything had been going well until now, and everything was proceeding as planned. So where did the problem lie, and what could be the source of that strange noise?
After a belated second of deep contemplation, a definitive understanding emerged from the shattered fragments of the shell.
—It's not that there was a mistake in the experiment, but rather that another uninvited guest has appeared.
...I feel like cursing. What's wrong with this world?
When I was building the sandbox, I made a point of wandering around the area and carefully checking the location. I specifically chose a spot near the barrier of reality, but in a relatively secluded corner in the void where I wouldn't be easily disturbed. I even confirmed it for several days before it officially began. So why are we encountering one disaster after another? First, there was an accidental fall, then an invasion by an enemy, and now this one with unknown circumstances. What's going on?
My forehead is throbbing with pain, and I feel like my blood vessels are about to burst.
Surely someone didn't broadcast the coordinates here?
Who would have the time to do that?! Do you really think building a small garden that can be used as a backyard is such an easy thing?
Even disregarding magic, there's time, money, and energy!
It's all hard work!
We're losing money!
With a sigh, I tried to calm myself down by stroking the warm, fluffy fur on the cat's back. Then I turned around and looked at the uninvited guest who had been instantly bound by the vines that shot out from under my feet and then rendered powerless by inhaling the sedative smoke.
Thanks to the previously planned inward defenses, this prevented further damage to the outer wall.
Thanks again to Flower Fairy and Lena for building the simple internal defense system; otherwise, if the intruders had tried to escape when things went wrong, it would have taken a lot of effort to catch them successfully.
Although this method of binding is somewhat indecent, why should I talk about morality and righteousness with intruders!
Anran sat down in the chair that Hikari had brought over. Beside her were the table, chairs, and writing utensils that the doll maids had quickly prepared, as well as... Yao's head.
I'm tired, but I've gotten used to it.
The fact that this stay-at-home manager is willing to do something is already a sign of respect; we can't expect more.
The concise inquiry, written by a mischievous rabbit that suddenly appeared, began on its own without any prompting.
"Name?"
The cold question was met with a disgruntled glare in return.
A girl with long, pure black hair and a tight-fitting short dress was forced to sit obediently on a wicker chair, her angry discontent burning fiercely deep within her dark red eyes, almost distorting the light in the air. But even this stubborn face changed color in the face of the many vine tentacles slowly approaching her vital parts.
"Ah—I'll talk! I'll talk! Don't let these things tickle me anymore!"
The girl, desperately trying to avoid having her itchy spots tickled within a limited area, quickly cried out for mercy, and the scene was nothing but chaos.
It's completely unimaginable what Lena and the Flower Fairy were thinking when they developed this feature.
Judging from the attitude of the fairies who heard the strange commotion, flew over out of curiosity, and then hid to the side to watch, it was at least the flower fairy who was in charge of this matter.
Alice, equally enthusiastic, sat on the table, her long, fluffy ears twitching. Before Yao could speak again, she had already finished her task: "Come on~ could this lovely lady please introduce herself?"
"Who are you, and why have you suddenly invaded this place?"
"Hehe~ Let me make it clear beforehand, we're not unreasonable people. As long as we're sure you're not someone with ulterior motives, we won't do anything excessive to you. Of course, personally speaking, it would be even better if you were someone with ulterior motives."
This guy makes such a provocative statement, as if he wants to stir up trouble.
Such threats and intimidation inevitably provoke fierce resistance:
"What invasion?! I just accidentally fell in here, I didn't want to be here! And wasn't it you weirdos who attacked me first! Before I could even go back the way I came, I was bound by this strange thing, and I can't use my magic... Eek—don't come any closer!"
The faint resistance vanished quickly:
"My name is Anne Farns! I am a esteemed descendant of the Farns family! I ended up here today because I accidentally fell into a huge ditch that suddenly appeared in the road while I was out and about! It wasn't some kind of deliberate intrusion! Even if I wanted to intrude, I wouldn't come to such a dilapidated little place! So get these weird things away from me right now, waaaaah!"
“That seems a bit excessive, Mr. Yumi.”
Hikari peeked at the girl who called herself Anne Farns being repeatedly rubbed with a cane like a cat being petted, and whispered to herself.
It's quite a challenge to keep this naive and soft-hearted fool from acting like a seasoned villain.
Then his next sentence completely surprised me: "How about I find a feather?"
Who exactly corrupted our innocent and kind-hearted little fool?!
