How to raise a random guy's wife

The haunted house was quite fun.

Student IDs also offer discounts.

There is no fixed route inside the haunted house, so you can explore freely. Different areas have different stamps. After each person stamps different stamps in the notebook, they can leave through the escape route and get a souvenir. The more stamps you collect, the better the prize.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, holding flashlights given to them by the staff, went in first. Kobayashi Sora was about to follow when she was stopped by a staff member covered in blood. "Two at a time."

This is a common rule in haunted houses.

Kobayashi Sora waved her hand, watching Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri disappear into the darkness.

Goodbye, my friend~

About two or three minutes later, Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi were allowed to pass and walked into the dark corridor with flashlights.

The flashlight has a fluorescent strip, so it can be found quickly even if it is lost in the dark.

When the flashlight is turned on, the brightness is only adequate, barely enough to illuminate a small area.

Feeling Kato Megumi's small hand tugging at her clothes with increasing force, Kobayashi Sora reached out and gently patted her, signaling her not to be afraid.

Kato Megumi seemed to have misunderstood him; her small hand loosened its grip on her clothes and slipped into his palm.

It's soft.

The two walked hand in hand. The dimly lit corridor had a strong smell of disinfectant. Dark red scribbles were visible on the wall, densely overlapping and staining the entire wall red.

Just as they turned a corner, the two saw two figures.

That is......

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at their clasped hands with annoyance, "Why are you taking so long?"

Eriri, unusually, chimed in, "Exactly."

The two men didn't explore any further; they were just waiting for them around the corner.

Kobayashi Sora asked curiously, "Why don't we go inside?"

Eriri shone her flashlight. "Something's wrong—wait!!!"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a fleeting white shadow, and the flashlight beam flickered wildly.

Kato Megumi, who hadn't noticed at first, was startled by her voice and immediately hid behind Kobayashi Sora. "What's wrong?"

“Yes…yes…” Eriri opened her mouth, “A staff member passed by, yes, a staff member.”

This person has already started hypnotizing themselves.

"This is just the beginning," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, her leg shaking. "Aren't you done yet?"

"Who's not good enough!" Eriri glared, then changed the subject, "Where to?"

Kobayashi Sora pointed to the fork in the road where the white figure had just flashed by, "Over there."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi asked, puzzled. "Why over there...?"

"Our goal is to get the stamp." Kobayashi Sora shook the notebook hanging around her neck. "So the stamp will naturally be placed in a scary place."

The game rules themselves encourage players to actively explore, and to achieve a scary effect, the stamps will definitely be placed in places with more scary spots.

Otherwise, tourists would just run out without even looking around, and the design of the haunted house would be wasted.

"Alright!" Eriri raised her flashlight, like King Arthur raising his curry stick, and declared with great enthusiasm, "Let's go—!"

Her voice trailed off abruptly as the flashlight beam illuminated the space above them, revealing skeletons draped with bits of flesh hanging from their bones.

Flesh and blood are closely connected.

Eriri swallowed hard. "Let's...let's go..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tightened her arms around her chest, her breasts surging.

Kobayashi Sora was speechless. Why do people have to hurt each other?

The four walked toward the fork in the road where the white figure had flashed by. Eriri held a flashlight in her hand, and the light she projected kept trembling.

To be fair, the design here isn't particularly scary, but Eriri's lighting enhances the atmosphere of terror.

"Wait a minute!" Eriri suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Why am I walking in front?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka, standing behind Eriri, replied, "Didn't you volunteer?"

"You were deliberately walking slowly!" Eriri's gaze swept over them, lingering for a moment on Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi's clasped hands. "Sora, you walk in front!"

You guys are sabotaging each other, and I'm the one who gets tricked...

Kobayashi Sora, holding Kato Megumi's hand, took the lead.

Kato Megumi pursed her lips and followed behind him with small, quick steps.

Even though I know it's fake, I'm still afraid.

Slender fingers slipped through the gaps between Kobayashi Sora's fingers, then clenched tightly.

The action of interlocking fingers allows two people to not only touch their hands, but also their forearms.

As you walk slowly forward, the swinging of your arms causes your forearms to rub against each other slightly, making the strange tactile sensation even clearer.

Kobayashi Sora felt an itch on her arm.

Not only are my arms itchy.

Eriri also felt itchy.

My gums are itchy.

She originally planned to have Kobayashi Sora lead the way, and if Kato Megumi was afraid, she would let go of Kobayashi Sora's hand.

Then she took over the throne... no.

Inheriting from my aunt... no, that's not right.

Holding Kato Megumi's hand would put her at ease and also shield her from Kasumigaoka Utaha's sarcastic remarks.

result......

Kasumigaoka Utaha also felt itchy.

Itchy hands.

Standing behind Eriri, watching her trembling with fear, I had an urge to tug at her swaying twin tails.

Eriri would probably jump up immediately if that happened.

The four walked down the silent corridor, with closed doors on both sides. The good news was that the white figure from before did not reappear.

Kobayashi Sora tried pushing several doors, but couldn't open them.

"No seal...?" Kobayashi Sora pondered. "The seal should be inside a door that can be pushed open."

He continued walking forward, and after only a few steps, a loud bang came from behind him.

Boom!

Eriri jumped in fright and almost screamed.

Chapter 196 Taking a roundabout approach

Eriri is suffering inside.

Why is it that the person who should be at the forefront is frightened, but the person at the rear is?

Then came a rapid clicking sound.

The voice was so close, it felt like it was right behind me.

It feels like someone is approaching quickly, or...

Eriri turned her head and glared angrily at Kasumigaoka Utaha behind her.

Or someone is shaking their leg intensely.

"You—" The moment Eriri turned her head, she saw a purplish-black hand shrinking into the open door behind her.

"What's wrong?" Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips. "Did someone make a rule that you can't shake your leg in a haunted house?"

"It seems this is the clue." Kobayashi Sora walked towards the open door.

No wonder I couldn't push it open earlier... this door needs to be pulled.

It's likely that the staff couldn't take it anymore, which is why they pushed the door open from the inside.

Stepping into the room, a chilling, suffocating feeling washed over me. Under the dim, cold light, the walls and the long table inside gleamed with a metallic sheen, stained with dark red blood.

No... Kobayashi Sora carefully examined the situation.

That wasn't a wall, but rows of freezers.

The kind used to store corpses.

Morgues are usually located on the basement level; this one was probably moved here to create a more atmospheric ambiance.

As soon as the four people stepped into the room, a freezer suddenly slid open and stopped with a bang.

Eriri started backing away, and then bumped into something.

She turned her head abruptly, and a surging wave rushed towards her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and asked, "Hungry?"

"You gloomy woman who spouts such vile words!" Eriri accused him angrily.

What do you mean by being hungry?!

I want to eat it, do you have any?

Kobayashi Sora led Kato Megumi toward the slid-out freezer, which was covered with something by a white cloth.

As Kobayashi Sora reached out his hand, Kato Megumi released it and moved behind him.

"It's alright." Kobayashi Sora had observed that the white cloth was still, indicating that there was no living person underneath. She reached out and pulled off the white cloth, revealing a mangled corpse with the seal among the bones.

Kobayashi Sora picked up the stamp and stamped it on Kato Megumi's notebook.

"The first stamp is done." Kobayashi Sora put the stamp back.
