After chatting with Hiro for a while, maintaining her persona as a sweet Little Sister, Haruko hung up the phone and returned to her room.
She still had two things to do now.
First, deal with the poisoned apple in the System space. When Sento woke up and could eat again, she felt she could find an opportunity to give him the apple.
Second, she needed to give the figurine she got from the gacha pull to Ichiko.
Haruko locked the room door and took the figurine out of the System space.
It was a double figurine, made with exquisite materials and incredibly lifelike.
Ichiko, with long gray hair, wore a dark fairytale-style black dress and elegant high heels, as if she were dancing with Haruko.
Her body was slightly tilted forward, her right arm wrapped around the slender waist of the white figure. Her left index finger touched Haruko's chin, tilting it up slightly, a bewitching smile on her lips, her gaze intensely possessive as she looked at the person in her arms.
Haruko, in stark contrast, wore a white princess dress, posed as if about to fall but being held, her feet barely touching the ground, her eyes slightly moist, looking worried and scared, like a fragile little white rabbit.
The figurine, including the base, was less than 20 centimeters tall, as if the height difference between the two was scaled down proportionally at a 1:10 ratio.
Haruko is 1.53 meters tall, the figurine is 15.3 centimeters tall.
Ichiko is 1.66 meters tall, the figurine is 16.6 centimeters tall.
It was like an angel and a devil embracing, or a big bad wolf and a little white rabbit, completely opposite to the real-life situation.
In the figurine's character roles, Ichiko was the dark one, while Haruko was timid and cute, ready to be plucked.
Haruko held the figurine up high with both hands.
Ichiko's character had a cartoon Chi Xiaocheng pattern.
Haruko's character had a cartoon Mimi pattern.
The details and textures were incredibly fine.
"This is simply a work of art!"
"The System's description said that looking at it for a long time would cause a trance. Just the lifelike quality and the impactful color combination of the outfits are incredibly stunning."
"What kind of dream will a lucid dream be?"
Haruko thought for a moment and decided to try it herself before giving it to Ichiko.
Just like with the soft bone powder and sleeping red tea from the last time in the little black room, Haruko also tested the situation first, confirming she could better control things before using them on Ichiko.
After changing into her pajamas, Haruko prepared her sleeping position in advance and placed the figurine on the table next to her bed. She just looked at it quietly.
Her originally chaotic thoughts seemed to gradually dissipate.
Haruko even felt her thinking slow down.
In her line of sight, the two figures on the figurine seemed to come alive.
The fingertips of Ichiko in the black dress lightly tapped, and the next moment, she revealed a terrifying smile.
It seemed as if a red moon appeared around them.
The girl's eyes suddenly emitted a red light.
And the originally fragile and scared Haruko's expression instantly transformed into one of morbid enjoyment and fondness.
This horrifying scene nearly scared Haruko's soul out of her body.
She swallowed, shook her head, "That's a bit scary. I hope I don't have a dream like this tonight?"
But if such a scene really happened, maybe it wouldn't be so bad?
After the trance passed, she started to feel sleepy.
Haruko didn't force herself to stay awake. She originally wanted to try what a lucid dream was like, so she closed her eyes and hugged a new large brown teddy bear pillow she had bought.
Hmm?
