"What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Just as Prankster Mita was feeling bewildered, Alain's voice came through in a timely manner.
The young woman raised her head and saw a pair of concerned eyes.
"Why did you suddenly stop talking? Were you frightened?"
"No..." She tugged at Alain's hand, her heart in turmoil.
"Oh, right. No time to lose, let's head to the living room to check things out right away?" "Millie," as if changing the subject, pointed to the intact and peaceful living room.
"After what happened, maybe she has something else she wants us two to do?"
"Alright."
Holding her hand, the two of them passed through the doorway and arrived in the living room.
Alain fixed his gaze on the wall; the writing that was originally there had vanished without a trace.
Inadvertently, he asked Millie, "You said she likes pranks so much, what do you think she'll do next?"
"Who, who knows?"
Alain, through the corner of his eye, observed the girl whose expressions were plain to see. Her gaze subtly flickered towards the photos on the wall. Perhaps the next prank would be there. So, he temporarily released the girl's hand and walked straight to the photo wall.
Prankster Mita was a bit hesitant about whether to let him go through that next. After all, she had only wanted to scare him a little initially. But in the end… she herself was frightened by Alain's determination. So gentle… he truly is her player! If only the target of that gentleness was her true self… And just now, saying that an hour for a date was too short. It should have been 24 hours! Ah! No way… if it were 24 hours, who knows what Alain might do. It seems like there are no such things as condoms in the game. Hmm? Speaking of which, can Mita get pregnant?
"..."
Forgot. Oh well, let's focus on the main task.
"..."
Her gaze focused on the photo wall. This prank had a condition for its completion.
On the photo wall where Alain was, hung pictures of her and her sister. Both of them belonged to version 1.5, so their appearances were naturally identical, like twins.
And the content of the prank: if one couldn't identify who was who among the "twins," there would be a punishment.
The punishment wasn't severe, just a tap on the head with a rubber mallet.
However, precisely because of their similar appearances, the [Punishment] was almost inevitable. Even she herself couldn't really tell them apart without careful observation.
As for rewards… there were some.
What was the content again?
Forgot…
"It wouldn't be good to continue with the pranks, better stop for now."
Muttering to herself, she was surprised to find that Alain had already started observing the photos.
The young man reached out, stroking the photo frames on the wall, examining them carefully.
The content of the photos all showed a short-haired Mita smiling coquettishly. But among them, Alain noticed a different meaning in these smiles.
It always feels like… the people in these are different, somehow?
Alain himself didn't know how he could tell, but his intuition faintly told him so. It was like distinguishing between Showa-era Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam, and teachers. Men always have an intuition for things that appeal to their specific tastes and hobbies.
Mita happened to be his specific taste and hobby.
"Wait a minute, Alain! There might be danger there—"
Just as Prankster Mita was about to dissuade him, writing automatically appeared on the wall.
[Who is in this photo you're holding?]
Oh no…
Prankster Mita's face turned pale. Alain had saved her before, if by any chance… she suffered another prank, her conscience would definitely be torn apart…
And Alain, after hearing Millie's reminder, noticed the writing that suddenly appeared on the wall. When Prankster Mita spoke, the writing appeared simultaneously. And the color of the writing was a pale white. So, it should be some kind of mechanism automatically triggered by the house. Not her own doing. Prankster Mita had wanted to stop him just now; Alain thought his disguise was quite perfect.
As for now, he found this "little game" quite interesting too.
Let it be said: he didn't know Prankster Mita's sister—that is, the short-haired Mita who had gone to the core to rescue him and Misha. So, to recognize her was naturally impossible.
But, he recognized Prankster Mita.
So, Alain looked at the photo in his hand, observed it briefly, and then stated the answer without hesitation:
"This is… a child who likes pranks. I prefer to call her—"
He smiled, "Prankster Mita."
With a "poof!", the bookshelf by the photo wall suddenly sprayed out confetti. Amidst the colorful ribbons, there was also an encouraging sound for a reward.
"Eh... You actually guessed it?"
The girl observing secretly from the side was slightly surprised. No… even she couldn't guess sometimes, how did Alain figure it out?
It was probably a coincidence, right? After all, she was the occupant of this room. It was reasonable for Alain to name her.
At the same time, a code bar suddenly popped up in front of Prankster Mita.
It feels a bit familiar. It should be for her to pay the relevant reward.
By the way, what exactly is the reward?
Ah!
Prankster Mita clapped her hands. Perhaps she had completely forgotten to set a specific reward, and it was merely a matter of there being a reward.
I see…
Well, just "paying" a little something will do.
Thus, she set the reward as the books on the bookshelf.
With a "thump," a book fell in front of Alain, landing right in his palm.
"This is... What does this mean?"
"It should be a reward, right?" Millie "guessed" from the side, "Perhaps, the Prankster Mita you mentioned set up some reward mechanism?"
"I see."
Alain opened the book and looked at it for two seconds before putting it back on the shelf.
"Forget it, I don't really like books."
With a "zip," the code bar in front of Prankster Mita reappeared.
"?"
Could it be… if Alain refused the reward, she would have to pay again?
No way…
Oh well. At worst, the reward can come later, she'll give it to him later. It doesn't really matter if she gives the reward or not. It wouldn't be too late to give it to him when he reaches 1.15. The girl thought of the scene where Alain had bravely rescued her. Although this "her" was debatable, she still owed him a favor…
So conflicted…
Doesn't she consider herself forgetful? Why can't she forget this kind of thing?
By the way, what was she supposed to give a reward for again?
No, the reward must be given. Can't treat him unfairly. Besides, with her player's personality, he probably wouldn't ask for anything outrageous.
FALL.
On the other side, Alain suddenly noticed that the writing on the photo wall had changed.
[What kind of reward do you want?]
