The child is pure.

    Because I don’t know anything.

    I don’t know what I shouldn’t do.

    You don’t know what you can’t do.

    I believe in Santa and try to be a good child.

    I open my umbrella and jump from the stairs to avoid falling slowly.

    Tear off the insect’s wings and insert metal chopsticks into the outlet.

    Because I don’t know.

    Just give it a try.

    With a pure heart.

    … … .

    『New doll.』

    “People are not dolls.”

    “why?”

    “Because he’s alive.”

    “doll. Alive.』

    “Then there’s nothing to say.”

    Ugh.

    Eunha climbed the stairs carrying the suitcase containing the [Black Book].

    The girl in the teddy bear pajamas reaches out to catch her as she leaves, but Eunha, who used ‘body enhancement’, is surprisingly quick and misses her by just a hair.

    Eunha quickly entered the 7th floor hallway and listened with a nervous look on her face.

    The girl in the teddy bear pajamas… The moment the [Doll Girl] gestured to her, a chilling amount of goosebumps ran down her back.

    Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo…

    Footsteps heard from afar.

    The sound of a child walking awkwardly wearing slippery shoes.

    Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo…

    Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo…

    Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo…

    On the lower and upper floors of the apartment,

    Numerous footsteps approach at random.

    Eunha stuck her head out and looked down through the gap in the stairs.

    Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo…

    In the distance, starting from the first floor, the lights turn on one floor at a time.

    As if something was coming up the stairs.

    Even when I looked upstairs just in case, the situation was the same.

    The lights on the 10th and 9th floors have already turned on.

    The sound of footsteps getting closer every moment.

    Eunha let out a frustrated breath as if submerged in water.

    It’s a scene I’ve seen a lot in zombie movies, but I got to experience it firsthand.

    It’s not as fun as I thought.

    ‘Still, there is time to think about it. ‘It’s approaching slowly.’

    Eunha, who was trapped on the 7th floor of an apartment, sat down on the floor and opened her suitcase.

    As soon as you open the suitcase lid, the fishy smell of blood taints your sense of smell.

    Gooey blood flows from the [black book] with a bookmark with a strange pattern. The bundle of amulets that were put together was soaked in blood, and the cross and prayer beads were also soaked in blood, welcoming Eunha.

    And… an old jigsaw with a bent middle part of the body catches my eye.

    The [Red Woman]’s jigsaw whose body was bent after accidentally attacking an elderly security guard.

    However, there is no major problem with cutting something.

    Even if the jigsaw is bent, our red thread will not break.

    As has been the case so far,

    From now on and forever.

    … … Grumbling.

    From the two dots engraved under the eyes of the galaxy,

    Sticky blood flows down.

    『Shall I borrow it?』

    It seemed like someone was whispering that in a sweet voice.

    Eunha seemed to be possessed by something and picked up the jigsaw.

    … … .

    … … .

    (『We recommend that you do not use our items carelessly, young lady.』)

    Startle!

    “……Wow, what is this?”

    It looks like he lost his mind for a moment.

    Eunha quickly came to her senses and wiped the blood flowing down her cheek.

    My head feels weird these days.

    Eunha put [Red Woman]’s jigsaw back and closed the carrier.

    Didn’t the old security guard say that the other day? You shouldn’t use ‘those’ items carelessly.

    Just today, an old man at the park almost caused a serious accident, and I don’t want to do that again.

    I’d rather die once.

    Eunha tapped her temple with her palm and stood up.

    There are many ways to survive even without the help of the [Red Woman].

    (『Shall I borrow it?』)

    “It’s okay. It’s a precious jigsaw, so you can’t use it carelessly.”

    Eunha strengthened her resolve as she answered the [Red Woman] who was somewhere.

    I will survive today too.

    『My doll. Come on.”

    [Doll girl] in fluffy teddy bear pajamas approaches hesitantly.

    The sight of him climbing the stairs, swinging his body from side to side like a roly-poly, is so dangerous that it is difficult to watch.

    “…Climb up while holding onto the handle. You will fall.”

    “huh.”

    Eunha, who was worse off, said.

    Then, [Doll Girl] grabs hold of the staircase handrail.

    The girl’s starry eyes were full of innocence, and the honest desire to play with someone weighed heavily on Eunha’s shoulders.

    He’s a really good kid. Why did that child become a ‘weird’?

    Eunha ran down the 7th floor hallway, leaving the girl behind.

    The 7th floor looks exactly like the 9th floor, where the galaxy resides.

    Through the hallway windows, the dark night sky was pushing the setting sun down to the horizon, and dust had accumulated on the handles of the rows of front doors, as if they had not been used for a long time.

    Rattling!

    A hallway window that won’t open even if you use ‘Body Strengthening’. Even if you punch the window and say whatever happens, it doesn’t leave a single scratch.

    Even Eunha’s fist does not return the shock.

    It was as if space itself had escaped the laws of physics.

    “Use. This doesn’t work… Is an elevator the answer?”

    “together. house. Let’s play.”

    [Doll girl], moving her short legs vigorously, arrived at the 7th floor.

    The girl, who was holding on to the staircase handle until the very end, looked around the 7th floor hallway with sleepy eyes, and then quickly walked towards Eunha, who was hitting the window with the [Black Book] she had taken out of her suitcase.

    And, as if it were his property.

    He hugged Eunha’s legs tightly.

    “Noise. Now it’s mine.』

    The body of a small girl…

    It was as cold as a corpse.

    『Pretty doll. good.”

    “……okay?”

    Eunha was captured by [Doll Girl].

    She seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then used ‘body enhancement’ to pick the girl up.

    Then, [Doll Girl] puts her arms around Eunha’s neck with a sleepy face.

    The fluffy bear was as light as down.

    Although it was a bit uncomfortable because her large breasts were in the way, [Doll Girl] seemed to like Eunha’s embrace and gently exhaled while squeezing her soft breasts.

    Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo… Boo…

    The sound of footsteps approaching.

    Soon, the lights between the 7th and 8th floors turned on.

    Rattling!

    Eunha sighs in frustration after touching all the windows.

    There’s no answer. Should I die quietly?

    Boop… Boop… Boop.

    Soon, ‘something’ appeared on the stairs.

    『Eup… Eup…』

    “friend. arrive.”

    “Hmm… that’s a big friend.”

    It was a large stuffed toy.

    An adult-sized doll made of colorful fabric that looks like rags.

    Bright red blood was flowing out from the sloppily sewn gap.

    Large buttons replace the doll’s eyes.

    Instead of thread, long needles were inserted into the four holes on the button, and the sharp end protruded through the back of the doll’s head.

    The round hand of the ‘stuffed toy’ has human fingers, holding a sharp needle and a bloody cloth.

    『Eup… Eup…』

    The stuffed toy says.

    But my mouth is sewn shut so I can’t hear anything.

    That’s why I was slow coming down the stairs.

    『Eup… Eup…』

    『Eup….. Eup…』

    『Grrr…』

    Bear, dog, horse, cat…

    The bloody ‘stuffed dolls’ walked with difficulty and entered the 7th floor.

    Eunha glanced at the [doll girl] in her arms and stepped back.

    I was in big trouble. You must never get caught.

    I’ve met [black people] in many ways so far, but I don’t want to end up like that.

    From the looks of it, it looks like he won’t die even if he goes through that damn thing… I don’t even want to imagine it.

    You need to take the jigsaw out of the carrier.

    Eunha bent down to drop off the [Doll Girl].

    『… … open it?”

    “huh?”

    But then,

    The bear girl in Eunha’s arms quietly opened her mouth.

    open it? Rani, the words are short so it is difficult to understand what they mean.

    Does this mean that you are going to open your skull from now on? I like it because it’s hot.

    “open it?”

    “……huh.”

    I nodded cautiously.

    This is because the ‘stuffed dolls’ that came out of the stairs came scurrying towards me. There is no time to worry.

    Eunha retreated to the end of the hallway and desperately shook her head.

    “huh. open it.”

    and,

    [Doll Girl], who was staring at Eunha, who was frozen in fear,

    Move your little hands…

    I opened the window next to me.

    Grumbling…

    The window opens.

    The window, which had not moved no matter how hard I tried, was gently pushed into place as if it had been greased.

    Eunha looked out the wide open window with a dumb expression on her face.

    A cool breeze blows and wipes away the cold sweat from my forehead.

    “Huh? Why?”

    『Open.』

    “No… why?”

    『Mine. friend.”

    A teddy bear girl rubbing her sleepy eyes and smiling faintly.

    Innocent eyes sparkle beautifully in the fading glow of the sunset.

    Before I knew it, the girl’s stuffed toy that had been dropped from the landing earlier was in the girl’s arms.

    ​~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    # caution! It is recommended that you hide immediately after finding lost child.

    You might mistake which doll to take.

    ​~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You may mistake which doll to take.

    In other words, the [doll girl] herself decides which doll to take.

    “…Thank you. You’re a good kid.”

    “huh.”

    Eunha slowly lowered her body and placed [Doll Girl] on the floor.

    With a regretful gesture, the girl who was fondling Eunha’s large breasts gently falls from her arms.

    Eunha, reflecting on the girl’s cold warmth, smiled bitterly.

    There was something about it that made me reluctant, but… I decided to think that good things are good things.

    Anyway, I survived.

    That’s enough.

    『Eup… Eup…』

    The teddy bear girl, holding the ‘girl plush toy’ and stepping back, quietly waved her hand.

    Behind the girl’s back, numerous ‘stuffed toys’ move closer and closer.

    … … Did I just want someone to hug me?

    Just in case, he ignored the girl and ran away alone because he was scared…

    No, I don’t know.

    Eunha stopped thinking.

    “Later… I’ll come back to hug you again.”

    “promise?”

    “Yes. Promise.”

    So, after Eunha said goodbye to [Doll Girl],

    I threw myself through the wide open window.

    “Wow!!”

    7th floor apartment. Free fall.

    Eunha hugged the carrier containing the [Black Book] and closed her eyes.

    good!

    Lived!

    … … .

    … … .

    … … .

    “friend. Go back.』

    Wow!!

    [Doll girl], who was looking out the window while being held by a ‘stuffed doll’, pursed her lips.

    You can clearly see Eunha bleeding after falling in the backyard of an apartment building.

    He appears to have injured his spine and shows no sign of getting up.

    [Doll Girl] looked down at Eunha, who had fallen from the 7th floor of the apartment, for a long time, then turned her head and hugged the ‘Girl Stuffed Doll’ tightly.

    『… … ? Scary sister.』

    『… … .』

    However, there is someone next to me.

    It appeared suddenly.

    [Doll Girl] looked at the woman in front of her with innocent eyes.

    A woman wearing a bright red dress, her entire body covered in blood.

    She stuck her head out the apartment window and looked out at the galaxy that had crashed in the backyard.

    “town…! Ugh…!』

    The ‘stuffed toys’ surrounding her move away from the woman.

    It becomes a frightened herbivore and hides behind the [Doll Girl].

    Be that as it may, the bloody woman focused all her attention on looking at the galaxy that had fallen in the backyard.

    『… … .』

    [The Red Woman] looked down at the blood-covered Eunha.

    Covered in the same blood as you… Isn’t that the couple look that people are talking about these days?

    I was happy.

    (It’s okay. It’s a precious jigsaw, so you can’t use it carelessly.)

    The words Eunha muttered just a moment ago as she put her jigsaw into the carrier.

    (It’s okay. It’s a precious jigsaw, so you can’t use it carelessly.)

    (It’s okay. It’s a precious jigsaw…)

    (It’s okay. Precious…)

    ( precious…. )

    The [Red Woman] thought over those words several times,

    She covered her cheeks, which were as red as her dress, with both hands.

    『It’s precious.』

    『… … ?』

    [Doll Girl] tilted her head in puzzlement.

    He is a strange person.
