"Actually, we could have let Mrs. Shimizu go in and scout first."
Shinomiya Kaguya suggested in a low voice.
"I wish, but I can't." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head. "Just now in Andy's room, I tried summoning Mrs. Shimizu, but there was no response at all."
Mrs. Shimizu, who could be summoned in the Midnight Subway, could not be summoned in the current scene, and the game gave no explanation.
This was very strange.
"…Andy?"
Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head slightly and looked over.
"One of the world's top 100 classic must-see movies, 'The Shawshank Redemption'." Amamiya Natsuki said, "You can watch it after the game is over."
"Also, the male protagonist's name is Andy, not Shawshank."
Shinomiya Kaguya was puzzled: "Why do you intentionally emphasize it?"
Of course, it's because some people still don't know the male protagonist's name even after watching the movie!
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki spoke while cautiously pushing the door open, waiting for a few seconds, and after finding no issues, he said in a low voice:
"Let's go in."
As soon as Amamiya Natsuki entered the door, he felt something land on his shoulder, and then his body suddenly sank, controlled by some force.
"Don't come in..."
Amamiya Natsuki's heart sank, and he quickly spoke to warn.
"It's too late," Miss Ice Princess said with a resentful tone. "I'm already in."
"What was that thing that landed on my shoulder?"
Amamiya Natsuki quickly calmed down and asked.
Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her pink lips: "It looks like... spider silk?"
The next moment.
Under the control of an unknown force, their bodies began to walk deeper into the room.
Amamiya Natsuki, still holding Puppet Billy, walked and said, "Mr. Butler, isn't this against the etiquette of hospitality?"
Puppet Billy slowly said:
"There are other guests living in the room. Your current behavior is trespassing on someone else's room. What do the two of you think?"
After a few steps, Amamiya Natsuki was surprised to find that there was a small stage in the room.
On the stage were three chairs, and three girls sat on chairs made of bones, from left to right, they were Fujiwara Chika, Yukinoshita Yukino, and the chuunibyou girl Rikka.
"Natsuki-kun, Kaguya-chan!"
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya appear, the pink-haired girl was both surprised and delighted.
"Stop shouting," Amamiya Natsuki retorted. "We've also fallen for it."
Under the control of an unknown force, Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya walked onto the stage, and then a pile of pale bones rolled out from the darkness, and with 'clack, clack' sounds, two bone benches were assembled next to Rikka.
Finally, Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya involuntarily sat on the bone benches, and the ribs of an unknown creature intertwined and gathered, embracing them and trapping them in the chairs.
After sitting on the chair, Amamiya Natsuki felt his body regain its ability to move, but unfortunately, he was firmly bound by the chair and could not get up.
"Welcome, today's Q&A game welcomes two more guests."
A hoarse, sharp voice suddenly sounded from the darkness.
Amamiya Natsuki looked in the direction of the sound and saw that in the darkness of the ceiling, there was a huge spider web, and a gray-white spider as big as a car wheel was squatting on the web... Even people who weren't afraid of spiders would get goosebumps seeing this thing.
"Oh, Mr. Butler is here too?"
The large spider's scarlet compound eyes rotated, quickly looking at Puppet Billy in Amamiya Natsuki's arms.
"I'm temporarily controlled by this player," Puppet Billy's voice was neither humble nor arrogant. "Spider Girl, please enjoy your game, you don't need to mind me."
"Hey, hey, isn't the name Spider Girl a bit much?" Amamiya Natsuki looked at the big spider above his head and couldn't help but retort, "The difference is too big."
"A name is just a code," Spider Girl snorted lightly. "You can also call me spider-woman."
I can't see any connection between you and a woman!
Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds: "How about calling you White-chan (So I'm a Spider, So What? protagonist)?"
Fujiwara Chika leaned over: "Don't bully others just because they haven't seen the manga."
"What is the Q&A game?"
Shinomiya Kaguya was surprisingly bold; facing such a large spider monster, she only frowned slightly, showing no fear at all.
"Good question..."
Spider Girl crawled on the web.
Takanashi Rikka tilted her head to look over, her ahoge on top of her chuunibyou head drooped, and she explained: "It's like a quiz game on TV."
"If you answer incorrectly, the chair will keep tightening."
Spider Girl's eyes rotated, looking at Takanashi Rikka, her tone displeased: "Human, don't steal my lines."
"S-Sorry."
"Given that the two guests have just arrived and don't know the rules of the Q&A game yet, I will explain them again," Spider Girl's voice was hoarse. "I ask the questions, and you answer. The questions are divided into 'first-to-answer' and 'all-member' questions. For first-to-answer questions, the first person to answer correctly gets a point, which can be used to offset one punishment."
"For all-member questions, everyone must answer."
"During this period, no creature in the room is allowed to lie."
"Once someone lies, everyone will be treated as having lied, and the chair will tighten inward, punishing everyone. Is there anything unclear?"
"Understood."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded, the rules were simple and clear.
"Then, the game continues," Spider Girl's voice became louder. "Let's start with a simple question to warm up... Please listen."
"Suppose there is a rope, whose circumference is only one centimeter longer than the Earth's circumference. Now, if you wrap the rope around the Earth's equator, you can lift the rope a little. How high can you lift it? Can a person pass through it? Can a person crawl through it?"
"Countdown begins, please answer quickly."
"Eh, eh, eh?" Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this question simple?"
"Meow? What does the question mean?" Takanashi Rikka looked bewildered. "Why do I not understand it at all?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "It sounds unreasonable, but..."
"I know," Amamiya Natsuki quickly answered.
"Very good." Spider Girl extended a spider leg and pointed at Amamiya Natsuki. "This player, please answer."
"Heh, it's just a simple physics calculation..."
Amamiya Natsuki quickly calculated in his mind and gave the answer: "A person can completely pass through it."
"Very good." Applause surprisingly sounded from the darkness, and Spider Girl announced, "The answer is completely correct."
Spider Girl was quite happy: "It really was a simple question, wasn't it?"
"Is it really that simple?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened, suddenly doubting her life. "Why don't I understand it at all?"
Takanashi Rikka: "I don't understand either, meow."
"Then... the punishment begins."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the others and quickly noticed that the ribs of the bone benches began to contract inward.
Shinomiya Kaguya, Yukinoshita, and Takanashi Rikka were fine, as they were slender, but Fujiwara Chika's face couldn't help but show a distressed expression.
This was the trouble of being a busty person.
"Then, the answering continues..." Spider Girl didn't waste time and quickly continued, "The third question is very simple. All players, please get ready to answer quickly."
