Why is my anime art style so weird?

Natsuki Subaru was completely thrown into chaos, his eyes filled with utter confusion.

After finishing his breakfast in a daze, Natsuki Subaru immediately suggested leaving the mansion and heading down the mountain.

Roswaal, having no reason to stop him, readily agreed.

When Subaru and Ram, who was acting as their guide, arrived at the door, they discovered that it was pouring rain outside.

Natsuki Subaru looked worriedly at the heavy rain outside.

Even those without much wilderness survival knowledge know that encountering heavy rain in the mountains is extremely dangerous, not to mention the slippery ground, there is also the possibility of encountering mudslides.

Natsuki Subaru is currently experiencing a great deal of inner turmoil.

He was filled with doubt about what happened last night.

Looking at the people who were chatting and laughing with him today, his doubts deepened.

Could it be that all those terrifying things he experienced last night were just his nightmares?

But this nightmare is a little too real.

Even now, he still feels a dull ache in his shoulders and neck.

But if it wasn't a nightmare, how do you explain the people who came back from the dead?

Regardless, this mansion was just too eerie, and he desperately wanted to leave and return to his classmates, even though they all ostracized him.

However, traveling through the mountains in such heavy rain is also extremely dangerous.

What should we do?

While Subaru Natsuki was caught in a dilemma, Ram seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

After a while, Ram seemed to have made up his mind and finally spoke.

"Mr. Subaru Natsuki, although I don't particularly like you, I still suggest you stay for the time being."

Walking in the mountains in this kind of weather is extremely dangerous.

You may stay at the manor until the rain stops. My master, Earl Roswaal, will not mind.

At this moment, the rain continued incessantly, like a vast curtain of water falling from the sky with a splashing sound.

Standing inside the porch and looking out, everything outside was shrouded in a gray haze; the rain had completely separated the inside from the outside into two worlds.

Seeing that the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier, Subaru Natsuki had no choice but to stay, no matter how unwilling he was.

"It seems I won't be able to leave today, and I'll have to trouble you from now on."

As Natsuki Subaru spoke, he bowed slightly to Ram.

Afterwards, Subaru and Ram returned to the mansion and explained the situation to Roswaal.

Roswaal readily agreed to Subaru Natsuki's request to stay the night.

Not only that, he seemed quite pleased that Subaru Natsuki had chosen to stay overnight.

Afterwards, Natsuki Subaru asked to borrow the mansion's phone to contact the teacher in charge.

Roswaal agreed without any hesitation.

Natsuki Subaru called the guesthouse they had booked for their school trip and explained the situation to the teacher in charge.

Then Natsuki Subaru sadly discovered:

Not only did he not return home at night, but he also did not ask for leave, and as a result, no one, including the teacher in charge, noticed.

He told his teacher that he would have to stay overnight at a Western-style house in the mountains because of the heavy rain. The teacher didn't seem worried about him at all, and just gave him a routine reminder to be careful.

Natsuki Subaru felt like the superfluous person in the whole class; whether he was there or not, no one else cared at all.

After hanging up the phone, Natsuki Subaru shook his head with a self-deprecating expression.

"Well, I've really failed as a person..."

"Subaru-kun, so you were here."

Just as he was talking to himself, Emilia's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Natsuki Subaru immediately perked up, turned around, and raised his hand with a smile.

"Yo! Emilia Tan!"

Did you come here specifically to see me?

Natsuki Subaru's teasing immediately made Emilia blush.

"Well, Ram said he was worried you'd be bored, so he sent me to find you and take you to the game room in the mansion."

Huh? What is that woman trying to do?!

Upon hearing the name 'Ram', Subaru Natsuki instantly felt a dull ache in his neck.

But fearing that Emilia might notice something, he quickly put on a very excited expression and shouted loudly:

"A game room? What are we waiting for? Come on, Hedgehog!"

Led by Emilia, Natsuki Subaru quickly arrived at the mansion's game room.

To his surprise, this seemingly old Western-style mansion actually had a very trendy game room.

It not only has traditional games like billiards and board games, but also newer game consoles such as computers, PS, and Xbox.

As a complete shut-in, Natsuki Subaru naturally thrived in his new environment.

Under Emilia's adoring gaze, he utterly routed the twin maids.

Even if the two maids teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for him.

"Damn it! A mere Subaru!"

Ram and Rem clung tightly to each other, tears welling in their eyes, their cheeks flushed, their faces contorted with humiliation as they glared at Subaru as if he had just brutally violated them.

Of course, they were indeed ravaged, but only in the game; their minds were severely ravaged.

"Hmph! Don't underestimate otaku!"

Natsuki Subaru wagged his finger triumphantly at the twin maids. He had not only won again, but had also utterly humiliated them, finally avenging his repeated verbal attacks on them.

He felt incredibly happy, like after taking a sauna, he had taken a big gulp of ice-cold soda, feeling refreshed from head to toe.

"Subaru, please stop bullying Ram and Rem."

Subaru's arrogant behavior was so bad that even the kind-hearted Emilia couldn't stand it anymore and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Hmph! The playground is the battlefield, and on the battlefield, there are no fathers and sons! This is the cruel law of the battlefield!"

Subaru Natsuki's nose was practically pointing to the sky.

As soon as he said that, Ram, Rem, and even the kind-hearted Emilia all stared at the arrogant Subaru Natsuki speechlessly.

Rem looked up at the wall clock in the room, then said to Ram:

"Sister, it's getting late, we should prepare dinner."

Ram checked the time and nodded.

"Looks like we'll have to find another opportunity to play this game later."

"Hmph! You'd better run away now, but you will always be shrouded in my shadow. As soon as you pick up a game controller, you will remember the fear of being dominated by me!"

Natsuki Subaru immediately put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and delivered an incredibly chuunibyou (delusional) speech.

Ram and Rem both had several cross-shaped veins appearing on their foreheads at the same time.

"Sister! Sister! I don't know why, but I really want to beat up Subaru!"

"Rem! Rem! Your sister thinks the same way as you."

As the twin maids spoke, they turned around at the same time, their two pairs of murderous eyes fixed on Subaru Natsuki.

Their cold gazes immediately made Subaru Natsuki feel immense pressure.

He quickly put his hands together, bowed his head, and kowtowed.

"Sorry, I got too carried away!"

After the twin maids left, Natsuki Subaru glanced at the darkening sky and his expression immediately turned grim.

"It's getting late..."

"What's wrong, Subaru-kun?"

Emilia tilted her head, looking at him with some confusion.

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but recall the image of Emilia being nailed to a wooden frame and bled, before finally having her heart pierced.

If everything that happened last night wasn't a nightmare...

He must protect Emilia and keep her from any harm!

This is a man's vow!

Soon, night fell.

Ram and Rem quickly prepared dinner.

Natsuki Subaru followed Emilia back to the restaurant and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Tonight's dishes were just as excellent as yesterday's; they were almost indistinguishable.

However, Subaru Natsuki found it tasteless and unappetizing, and he had no interest in tasting it at all.

His mind was filled with thoughts of what terrible things might happen tonight.

In this situation, even if dragon liver and phoenix marrow were placed in front of him, he would still have no interest in tasting them.

After dawdling around like this, they finally managed to get through dinner.

Natsuki Subaru was preparing to leave the restaurant and return to his room.

Betty, who was holding Parker, seemed to have finished eating as well, and the two of them came to the restaurant door at the same time.

Just as Subaru was about to leave, Betty's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey, monkey! Let me give you some advice."
