As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Under the watchful eye of the butler, Hirano Toda stood up.

"I'll stay."

Hirano Toda's voice was low; at this moment, he had made up his mind.

"Hirano, let me do it..."

"Takagi! Listen to me." Before Takagi Saya could finish speaking, Hirano Toda interrupted him.

"You fat otaku, what right do you have to interrupt me! I'm in charge here, I'm staying!"

Saya Takagi habitually refuted Hirano Toda's decision.

However, this time, Hirano Toda did not give her a bright smile as usual.

"Gao Cheng, I've always listened to you, but this time, I'm in charge!"

"Why!"

"Because I'm a man! Women should listen to men! So, you'd better go back right now!"

Hirano Toda said loudly.

"You fat bastard, you..."

Suddenly, Takagi Saya couldn't speak because she felt Hirano Toda's body trembling slightly.

"Gao Cheng, this is the first and last time, so just listen to me."

Hirano Toda spoke again.

"It seems you've already discussed it. Now, tell us your decision."

At this moment, the butler spoke up.

"Yes, we've already discussed it, I'll stay!"

Hirano Toda stepped forward and said.

"Very well, I admire you. Then I'll send your companions away."

As he spoke, the butler pulled a black book from his robes and began chanting an incantation.

As the butler chanted the incantation, Hirano Toda turned around and looked at Takagi Saya.

"Gao Cheng, actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell you."

"what?"

"I like you!"

Hirano Toda shouted this out.

"Why are you bringing this up now?"

Upon hearing Hirano Toda's confession, Takagi Saya blushed and said that she realized that her current feeling was not disgust, nor was it indifference, but rather a flutter of the heart.

Why? I like Komuro, so why am I falling for him? He's just a fat, military guy.

"Because if I don't say it now, I'll never have the chance to say it again. I don't expect anything from you, just let me leave with my last wish."

Snapped......

Suddenly, the pain on his face stunned Hirano Toda.

"You fatso, you're just a fatso, why are you acting so great? If you're going to stay, how can I go back alone? I'm staying too."

“No, I’ll stay here by myself!” Hirano Toda immediately retorted.

"It's not up to you to decide what I want to do. Don't worry, I'll make sure we both get out safely. I'm a genius."

Saya Takagi said confidently.

"But......"

"Don't speak, listen to me."

Immediately afterwards, Takagi Saya came to Hirano Toda's side and whispered something in a low voice.

Don't you find something strange?

"What's strange?" Hirano Toda asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's the guy. Why hasn't he opened the door yet?"

"Perhaps the incantation is very long," Hirano Toda guessed.

“That’s not what I meant. Don’t I know incantations are long? What I meant was, shouldn’t this place be under his control? Have you ever seen anyone set such a long password for their own house?”

"I don't think so," Hirano Toda said uncertainly.

“It’s definitely not true, so we can guess that he has no way to control this place at all; he’s relying entirely on that book in his hand,” said Takagi Saya, glancing at the black book in the butler’s hand.

"But what's the point of knowing?" Hirano Toda asked, puzzled.

"Because I have another theory..."

"Alright, the door is open now. You can make your final choice. It's you, or you leaving."

At that moment, Saya Takagi suddenly snatched the shotgun from Hirano Toda's hand. Then she fired a shot directly in the butler's direction.

boom......

Then something Hirano Toda never expected happened: the butler's head was smashed open. His body then fell backward.

"I'm sorry, I choose the third option: we'll leave together."

"this......"

Hirano Toda was dumbfounded by the scene.

"It seems my guess was right; this guy has been misleading us all along."

Saya Takagi casually tossed the shotgun to Hirano Toda, then went to the butler's corpse and picked up the book.

However, at that moment, the book burst into blue flames, and Saya Takagi quickly threw it away. The book, however, floated in the air and eventually transformed into a colorful, round bubble.

"This should be the real exit. That other side is just going back to where we were before."

Saya Takagi pointed at the bubbles and said.

"Gao Cheng, you're amazing! How did you find out about this?"

Hirano Toda, standing to the side, asked with great admiration.

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that from the moment we entered this unknown place, that guy has been trying to mislead us. What kind of image does he have in your mind?"

"Mysterious and elusive."

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. I was fooled by him at first too. But just now, I noticed something. Look at his hands.”

"This is......"

Hirano Toda looked over and saw pale skin on his hand.

Why is her skin so pale?

"That's the suspicious point. I think his body was originally dead. Remember that disgusting room we saw before? Those must be the bodies he used. In other words, we were actually part of his scheme. The reason I think he has no fighting ability is because he sent you in. Why would he send you in when you could still use your body?"

"why?"

"Are you stupid? Of course, he couldn't kill the armored knight and the plant from before, so he sent you in here to kill them. So it all makes sense. Okay, let's go, let's go back quickly."

After saying that, Takagi Saya walked towards the bubble.

Halfway there, Takagi Saya suddenly turned around and looked at Hirano Toda behind her:

"Um, let me think about your matter first."

..................

At this moment, Abigail in the real world was somewhat surprised by the scene in the bubble. She had originally planned to give the people who stayed behind a small gift, such as body sculpting, but since they didn't want it, she let it go.

These are just some randomly designed items; why are they being connected in all of a sudden? This person's imagination is running wild. Or perhaps it's just human nature—always trying to understand things we can't by applying our existing worldview.

Originally, Abigail only had a sudden idea to test Takagi Saya's choice, but she didn't expect her to react like this.

Yes, as expected, people can do unexpected things. Reality doesn't only offer fixed options.

However, I must say, it's quite interesting. At least I've achieved my goal of killing time. The rest is up to the fat guy's own fate, even though I can't truly bring them together. But let it be. After all, he's the protagonist; I can't go too far, or I'll be finished before the main god's mission is complete.

Abigail jumped out of the car and walked out of the garage. Tonight was coming to an end; now she could get ready.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Abigail's Little Lecture on the Evil God

As Abigail walked out of the garage, she saw Alice coming out of the house.

Alice!

"Abby-chan!"

Alice ran over happily when she heard Abigail call her.

"Alice, what are you doing here?"

Abigail hugged Alice tightly and then asked.

"Um, Komuro asked me to call Takashiro-neechan and the others."

"Oh, they're in the garage now. Go ahead."

"Really? I'll go right away."

After saying that, Alice left Abigail's embrace and ran towards the garage.

A short while later, Alice, Saya Takagi, and Toda Hirano emerged from the garage.

Seeing Abigail standing to the side, Takagi Saya said to her.

"Abi, Komuro wants us to come and discuss this. Let's go."

After saying that, without waiting for Abigail's reaction, he led Hirano Toda into the house, looking preoccupied.

"Abigail, let's go." Alice stepped forward and took Abigail's hand to walk together.

Judging from Takagi Saya's expression, she's definitely going to tell Komuro Takashi and the others what happened before.
