Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

Chapter 184 : The Great Dating Operation

"Wow~ It's a skeleton!"

In Yvonne's expectation, Elsa should have been frightened or disgusted by these things, at least she should have shown more fear,

But she was wrong,

Elsa wasn't afraid at all,

"Oh? What's that thing covered with cloth over there?"

She wasn't scared at all,

"Puhahaha—Evie, look, this one looks like a monster."

On the contrary, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

...She dares to touch such terrifying things?!

Yvonne watched from the side, trembling with fear,

This girl's heart is too big!!

Speaking of must-try attractions for couples in amusement parks, it's definitely the haunted house!

In such a confined space, creating a thrilling and screaming experience, causing both people's hearts to race in a short time due to the suspension bridge effect. After all, when people are afraid, they instinctively want to find someone to rely on. For couples in love, that support is each other, so after entering the haunted house, the two often have some intimate interactions due to fear, which can further enhance their relationship—

It should have been like this~~~!

However, creatures like 'ghosts', 'zombies', and 'monsters' didn't seem so scary to Elsa.

Probably because she doesn't have the mindset of modern people,

Some inherent perceptions that modern people develop from childhood, like ghosts having rolled-back eyes and sticking out tongues without feet... Elsa, being from another world, had never heard of these.

"Because there are also incorporeal monsters in our world, ghosts and such... should be quite normal, right?"

Yes, because similar concepts actually exist there, unlike in the real world where they are just supernatural concepts,

So for Elsa, these creatures that have been thoroughly studied by various monster researchers and have tangible forms aren't scary at all.

Planning this little scheme, but it seems my expectations are going to be completely dashed.

Instead, she curiously touched everything like she was touring a museum.

Yvonne had been to this place before, so she still had some memories of it.

But when she confidently led Elsa in, she realized that making this decision was truly a mistake.

Having been here once gives an advantage? How could that be!!

Because it was so long ago, Yvonne herself had forgotten... she used to be someone who watched horror movies with her eyes covered, how did she have the courage to enter a haunted house??

Why is this maze so long...

When will we finally get out~~~!

It's okay, it's okay...

As long as I don't open my eyes, there won't be any danger.

"Oh? This place is quite interesting... do we need to find clues to pass through?"

Elsa's interest in the haunted house was growing, while Yvonne, who had fallen into panic, just wanted to get out quickly.

Hiss—

Cold air kept blowing from under her feet, creeping up from under her skirt, making Yvonne instinctively shudder.

Although she knew it was probably the effect of those artificial blowers, her body involuntarily started to feel afraid.

Calm down... I need to calm down...

The greatest effect of such a gloomy and terrifying environment is to give psychological suggestions to visitors.

"By the way, is there no magic in this world?"

"This world doesn't have any."

"No wonder... I can't use my magic here either. It seems that even in dreams, we have to follow the rules corresponding to each world..."

Some places here were lit with various eerie-colored lights, while in other places you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Just as Yvonne was turning a corner, she suddenly felt someone lightly tap her shoulder from behind.

"Don't play around now..."

"Hm? Evie, did you say something just now?"

Hearing herself speak, Elsa's voice came from ahead, judging by the direction of the sound, she should be some distance away.

".................."

Yvonne's hair stood on end.

The person who tapped me from behind is...??

No way? No way—don't scare me!!

She tremblingly turned around and saw a standard Sadako-style ghost, making her heart skip a beat

The 'Sadako' lady was in a very conventional costume, with disheveled hair, long black hair completely covering her face, wearing a white dress, the white dress had some not-so-real bloodstains on it.

It's okay, it's okay, at least I mentally prepared myself beforehand,

Any slightly professional haunted house would usually have staff members disguised as various scary ghosts and monsters,

It's usually performed by staff members.

How could there possibly be real ghosts—

Yvonne pretended to be calm as she faced that 'ghost'.

'Sadako' just stood in front of her, not taking another step forward.

The person and the ghost just stood off for nearly thirty seconds.

Heh... heh! This level can't scare me!

Because the 'ghost' was behind her, although she knew it was fake, she still felt somewhat uneasy. Yvonne didn't want to be suddenly attacked and scream embarrassingly, so to be safe, she decided to stare at it until it left.

But in this deliberately created eerie environment, Yvonne overlooked one thing,

Another gust of cold wind blew the long hair of this 'Sadako' lady, revealing a face that was as distorted as the oil paintings in the witch's barrier from "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", with colors and brushstrokes twisting like something from a mental hospital, seemingly still flowing,

It was as if countless faces were overlapped and pieced together, with lines and color blocks twisting and blending together, as if it wasn't a creature of this world.

Witnessing the 'true face' of the other party at such close range, Yvonne felt every hair on her body stand up, her body frozen as if hit by a blast of cold air, unable to move.

Then, the next second:

"Ghost ahhhhhhhh———!!!!"

The piercing scream nearly lifted the roof off this amusement park haunted house.

......

"Evie, you... really are..."

Elsa was laughing so hard she was almost in tears.

"...Please stop laughing!"

Yvonne was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to bury herself in,

In a state of mind clouded by fear, she only remembered desperately catching up with Elsa, then tightly hugging her without daring to move until they got out, afraid of encountering any more scary ghosts.

"Hehe~ The 'haunted house' is really interesting, let's go again later?"

"No! Abso—lutely, absolutely not!!"

Yvonne refused to go again no matter what, she was almost traumatized by the scare.

Although she knew this was her own dream, and those people she didn't have a fixed impression of had no faces... but observing faceless people up close was still a very chilling experience.

"Um... that should be drinkable, right?"

Many visitors were queuing in a long line in front of a beverage store.

What wonderful colors...

Looking at the colorful drinks in everyone's hands, Elsa marveled.

"Ah, it's Starbucks... it's quite famous."

Yvonne had once worked at this chain store, and as an employee benefit, she had drunk quite a few of the store's beverages, so she still had fresh memories of the taste of this store's drinks.

Only foods she had memories of could be tasted.

"Want to drink? Then I'll go buy some."

Yvonne stood up to queue, and when it was her turn, she recited a long string:

"I want a Grande cup of short white chocolate flavored Frappuccino with special cheese milk cap, add caramel sauce and hazelnut syrup. What do you want, Elsa?"

...Wait?? What was that just now??

The string of unfamiliar terms she rapidly uttered left Elsa dumbfounded.

Is, is this some kind of incantation?

"Ugh..."

Unable to understand the text on the menu at all, she could only turn to Yvonne with a troubled face.

"Evie~~~!"

"Alright, alright, I'll order for you. What fruit do you like, Elsa?"

"Sweet dew fruit?"

The taste of sweet dew fruit seems similar to peach,

"Hmm... then let's order this 'Peach Whisper'."

As if performing magic, before long, a drink in a transparent container appeared from those machines.

This container was thin yet resilient, easily deforming when lightly squeezed.

What a dreamy color...

Pink, bubbling.

"Even though there's no magic... but it's cold??"

Elsa exclaimed,

"This world also has things similar to refrigerators, which can make ice."

Watching Elsa being curious about everything, Yvonne smiled.

"'Electricity', this controllable product of civilization, is like magic to us."

...Although I can't fully understand, it seems amazing!

She put the straw in her mouth and took a sip of this magical bubbly drink, immediately widening her eyes:

"This... what is this!"

It feels tingly in the tongue and mouth!

"This is carbonated drink."

"The taste is sour and sweet... and it's cold!... Wah! What are these (chew) super elastic little balls (chew)?? Soft and bouncy—sweet and sticky!!"

"Those are pearls."

Drinks from another world, so strange! But so amazing!

"...Want to try mine?"

"Mm!"

Finally coming to such a place, Yvonne wanted to do things that only couples would do, like those dog food-feeding couples she envied in her previous life.

Watching her cute girlfriend put her mouth on the straw she had just bitten, for some reason, it just gave her an inexplicably happy feeling, with a hint of excitement.

"Salty milk flavor... so rich..."

"This is cheese milk cap."

"Surprisingly good! But it might be too rich if you drink too much."

Elsa seemed not to have grasped Yvonne's intention, after tasting hers, she continued to drink the bubbly drink in her own hand.

"............"

Sensing the resentful gaze from Yvonne, Elsa finally realized.

"Ah... um, does Evie want to drink mine?"

"You really leave me no choice~ Let's swap and try then!"

Seeing the drink offered to her, she finally beamed with joy.

Unexpectedly childish...

Watching her happy expression, Elsa couldn't help but smile too.

Coming to such a place, they both became like children.

"The peach flavor is quite refreshing, it's pretty good too."

"Mm mm~!"

Somehow, feeling so happy.

The mood became as colorful as sunlight passing through a transparent glass bottle.

Although they knew they were in a dream, this happy memory wouldn't disappear.

"Evie, Evie!... Can I have one of these? What is this?!"

"Mm, that's a free balloon."

Although it might seem a bit childish for someone her age to be holding such a cartoon balloon, as long as she's happy, it's fine.

"Are those people in mascot costumes also staff?"

"...Yes."

Yvonne tried hard not to imagine the distorted, flowing faces under the cute mascot costumes.

Really~~~ so interesting!

Elsa felt she could play here all day!!

"Hahaha... I didn't expect this would turn out to be such a treasure."

Although she was a bit scared when being forced to write non-stop by the book, now Yvonne felt it was great that she had recorded her world.

"In the future, we can bring Bebe here to play when we sleep."

"Mm, she would probably like this place a lot."

Sitting on a bench in the amusement park, Elsa gazed at the distant sky, falling into brief contemplation.

This world is so vast, magical, and colorful.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly stop talking... are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Yvonne waved her hand in front of Elsa's eyes,

After seeing a glimpse of this world, she finally understood some things she couldn't comprehend before, and thus fell into a kind of unease and fear.

Elsa carefully chose her words:

"Evie, you just said... if it were possible, if there was a chance... would you choose to return to this world?"

Am I constraining her in that world?

"Ha... I thought you were thinking about something else. So you're worried I might leave?"

What a fool...

Yvonne knocked her on the head.

"Ouch!"

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

Abandoning her original name, the current self is Yvonne Smollett.

She is the protagonist's nemesis, the biggest obstacle on the protagonist's capture route, the villainous lady who uses every despicable means.

However, the protagonist is not a white lotus, not a naive innocent.

On the contrary, she's a bit scheming, doesn't like to play by the rules, and likes to use small tricks,

For some reason, she's also hopelessly in love with Yvonne.

And she even made Yvonne realize this true feeling

"For who I am now, a world without Elsa... is not okay."

"Ahhh!... Really, don't make me say such embarrassing things!"

With a mix of shame and reproach, her face turned a color similar to the unfinished peach drink in her hand.

"I, I just want Evie to be happy..."

"Hmph&... What a coincidence, I think the same."

Yvonne leaned in with a dissatisfied face,

"Not only that... I also believe that to achieve this goal, I am indispensable..."

This is probably quite a conceited thought,

Believing that her happiness puzzle would be incomplete without this crucial piece that is herself.

"...Am I the only one who thinks this way?"

Although it's a bit embarrassing, she wanted to convey this feeling no matter what,

Because the answer is unique.

"I also... believe so."

—.

The taste of a kiss in the dream was a mix of salty cheese milk and sweet and sour peach.
