The dark world was filled with unknown mysteries; no one knew what they would encounter next
Just like Lucas and Judah now.
The two ran all the way, with the soul-chasing footsteps behind them pressing closer, showing no signs of leaving.
Unlike the scare last time,
This time, Himeko Murata was serious.
After chasing for almost ten minutes, the distance between them had shrunk from thirty meters to twenty meters.
However...
Lucas wasn't too worried about being caught this time.
With Judah as a human radar, she could help him find a safe path.
Plus, at this specific time,
There were almost no Night Valkyries nearby.
This also meant that Lucas didn't need to take detours or stop, and Himeko Murata, who liked to play cat and mouse,
Her speed would basically remain consistent with his.
This caused the distance between them to shrink very slowly.
Lucas was confident that he could return to the Valkyrie Dormitory before Himeko Murata caught him.
At that time...
No matter how strong the Red-haired Onee-san was, she would only be able to go home.
This was the rule of the Inner World.
"There's a Valkyrie fifty meters ahead, go right."
Judah led the way, taking big strides with her short legs, looking quite adorable.
With the Armed Doll's help,
Now, Lucas only needed to follow without thinking… Just as he was fantasizing about escaping and where to work on Saturday during the day to save some money, a sudden burst of rapid footsteps and shouts came from a distance.
"Hahaha! Bad student! Bad student! The Headmaster will find you, she will find you!"
"Hehehe…"
"You're right here, aren't you? The Headmaster has already sensed it!"
"Theresa? Was she attracted by Himeko Murata?"
Lucas clenched his fists.
The Headmaster's running sounds were exaggerated.
They could be heard clearly from a hundred meters away, and the source of the sound was getting closer and closer to him.
The current situation was like one wave after another.
"It's over, it's over. If this continues, I might really get caught… I absolutely cannot let Theresa get close!"
Compared to Himeko Murata, whose speed was stable, Theresa was like a madwoman, charging recklessly.
If she got close, with Himeko Murata as a beacon, Lucas would surely die.
Continuing like this was not an option.
"Almighty Judah, do you have any ideas?"
Lucas could only ask the Armed Doll beside him for help.
Judah was also a bit flustered. She thought carefully, then gritted her teeth and said, "In this situation… what use is it to ask me? At most… at most, I can carry you and run. Although I don't know if we can successfully escape, at least we can try."
"Really? Can you really carry me and run?"
Lucas's eyes lit up.
Judah was less than half a meter tall.
And Lucas could barely be considered an eight-foot man.
Having an Armed Doll carry him, wouldn't that be like a small horse pulling a big cart?
What was the difference from an adult riding a kiddie ride?
"Otherwise, what else can we do… or? Do you want to die? Actually, it's no big deal, you can just…"
Judah, who was jogging, hadn't finished speaking when she felt a sudden weight on her back.
Lucas didn't say a word. He directly jumped onto Judah's back, like an octopus, clamping his legs around the little guy's waist, and said, "Don't talk, charge!"
The Armed Doll in the black and red dress froze. Her fair face was tinged with a faint blush, looking somewhat indignant.
To be honest, if possible, Judah absolutely did not want to have close contact with Lucas, as she could smell too many other girls on him.
Aponia, Griseo, Ai Yi…
Judah felt uncomfortable just thinking about these people.
However, to protect Lucas, now was not the time to consider these things.
"Hold on tight, human. I'm about to accelerate. Be careful not to fall off."
Hearing these words, Lucas, who had originally been pressing his hands on Judah's shoulders, simply reached out and grabbed the pair of pointed horns on her forehead.
Someone had wanted to touch them for a long time.
Now that he had the chance, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
The sharp horns felt somewhat cold to the touch.
They made for a very good handhold.
The moment the pair of horns were grasped, Judah's fair little face turned crimson, as if she had become a steam maiden, the kind that still emits smoke from her head.
Lucas naturally noticed.
"What's going on? Did I accidentally violate some taboo…"
"Judah, she…"
Just as Lucas was thinking wildly, Judah gasped, "Ah ah ah ah! Human, you must pay me 200cc of compensation later!"
"That's it?"
"It seems I don't need to worry. 200cc is nothing. As long as I can escape alive, it's not a big problem at all."
As Lucas breathed a sigh of relief, a strong wind suddenly rose around them.
The petite Armed Doll, carrying Lucas, charged forward fiercely.
Faint red mist swirled around them, truly resembling a blood-red storm.
And it was truly fast.
Judah's small feet were already a blur.
At this speed, she could probably get Lucas back to the dorm in a few minutes.
This unusual change caught the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san's attention.
"Cheating by relying on others."
Himeko Murata stopped, exhaled a soft breath, and as the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, a chilling aura emanated from her golden eyes, like a beast choosing its prey.
The Red-haired Onee-san in a black dress was like a mountain elf, enchanting and beautiful. She stood still and raised one hand.
Flames shot from her fingertips, flickering in the wind, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Himeko Murata examined the flame on her fingertip.
Her sneering expression was eerily twisted.
"Cheating is against the rules…"
"Hehehehe…"
"Binbin…"
At this point, Himeko Murata's delicate body twitched, and the faint shadow beneath her feet became distorted.
…
The darkness remained as before.
Lucas was carried by Judah, charging madly. The strong wind slapped his face, making it impossible to open his eyes. He didn't dare to open his mouth now, fearing that if he did, the strong wind would rush directly down his throat.
The feeling of being "blown" in the mouth, just thinking about it was terrifying…
"I can no longer hear Teacher Himeko's footsteps, nor Theresa's running… If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps I can escape safely."
"It's just tough on Judah."
"But… we have a deal. This much shouldn't be a big deal."
As Lucas closed his eyes and let his mind wander, in a dark corner, inside a certain trash can, a pair of golden eyes were secretly watching Judah and Lucas as they flashed by.
"That direction… doesn't seem safe."
"Should I go and warn them?"
"Forget it, Theresa and Himeko Murata are both behind them. My injuries haven't healed yet, I can't get involved."
"You can die, but I can't."
"Sorry."
The Purple-haired girl hiding in the trash can touched the bandages on her body.
Beneath her purple dress were fresh granulation tissue wounds that would take some time to heal.
