Kelly, who had been lying on the floor gasping for breath for a long time, raised her head as if she had calmed down somewhat.

The moment her gaze turned to me, I turned and started running.

Every time she moved her short legs vigorously, the bag on her back shook loudly.

The moment I was about to get annoyed by the sword stuck in my back constantly hitting my head, I found myself standing in the place where Kelly had first dragged me before I ran.

“Ahhhh!”

I got hit again.

It means that the body was dragged by an unknown force.

Kelly looked at me with her arms crossed, as if telling me to give up.

But I could never give up.

I started running again right away.

But since then, I’ve been dragged back to the first place several times.

I looked at Kelly with a sad face.

“Shouldn’t you just give up now?”

“Oh, I’ll tell mom everything!”

“Your mom can’t come here right now?”

“No!”

The moment Kelly answered loudly, the Black Palace shook violently.

Kugugugugugu-!

The building was now tilting slightly, as if it was really about to collapse.

Is this really okay?

Kelly also seemed bewildered by this situation, and looked around with a pale face.

I ran quickly without missing the gap.

The moment I was shot towards the large door with lightning, I was rolling on the floor.

“Oh my!”

Again.

I got hit again.

I couldn’t figure out what the principle was, but Kelly’s ability was clear.

I lay face down on the floor, biting my lip.

“I’m just checking your memory for a moment. Just be quiet. I’ll send you back once I’m done.”

“Poem, I hate it!!!”

Kelly came over to me as I lay face down and held out her hand.

Her small hands grabbed the back of his neck and lifted his body up.

No, should I consider this as lifting?

Kelly was barely holding me up with her shaking hands.

Judging from his trembling movements and his sinewy forehead, he didn’t seem to be very strong.

“Let go of this!!!”

I twisted my body with all my might.

Then Kelly, who was carrying me in her arms, stumbled and rolled on the floor, tangled with me.

“Hey, stay still!”

“I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!”

“This, this this is…!”

Kelly started to shake, seeming angry.

But I fired a bright electric blast around Kelly to keep her from getting closer.

Zzzz! The current in my body was rapidly decreasing, but this was the best resistance I could do.

“Ugh!”

Kelly, who was approaching me, took a couple of steps back as if affected by the blue lightning.

I couldn’t hide my wonder as I looked at that sight.

At first, when I dealt with Kelly, my powers didn’t work on her.

But now, it was wrapping around my hand, as if I had touched something tingling.

It definitely means that the ability is working.

I sat up with my eyes shining.

I don’t know why, but if the ability works, it’s a different story.

I stretched out my hand to test it and sent a faint electric current.

It was an attack that felt like a stinging sensation similar to static electricity, but not so strong that it was noticeable.

“Heeheet!”

Kelly reacted to the current shot into her chest.

She sat down on the floor, covering her precious chest.

As expected, as expected, it works!

I don’t know the principle, but once I do, the ability starts working.

I reached out to Kelly, collecting the electricity that was scattering around me.

“Let me go!”

“No!”

I frowned at Kelly’s words.

I felt like I needed to be a little stronger.

Dismissal-

The electric current gathered at the tip of the finger shoots out in an instant.

Peeing-

A straight line of blue light flew towards Kelly.

This time it won’t end with just a sting.

But, contrary to my expectations, Kelly just blinked.

What on earth is going on?

Sure enough, a blue flash passed over Kelly’s arm.

It would have been normal to feel severe pain, but Kelly sat up in her seat, seemingly unaffected.

I looked at Kelly’s arm, where the flash had passed.

White skin, without a single scar on it.

Even seeing that there wasn’t even a red, burning mark, it seemed like it really wasn’t affected by my ability.

Kelly saw my bewildered look, smiled wickedly, and started to approach me.

That sight really did look like a sex offender, it was so scary.

I trembled and stepped back.

“Oh, don’t come!”

“I said I was just checking my memory for a moment!”

“That’s gonna put a hole in my head!”

Kelly neither confirmed nor denied.

That’s why it was more scary.

I looked at Kelly, holding her head carefully.

Why on earth isn’t my ability working?

What’s different from before? What’s different…

It was slow.

It was a visibly slow attack, just a stinging attack with low output.

Is that it?

really?

It wasn’t accurate.

But for me, that was the only way.

I raised my hand to Kelly.

At that moment, Kelly stopped walking, flinching as if she remembered the stinging electric shock she had received earlier.

Gulp-

Kelly and I swallowed almost simultaneously.

“Take this!”

I shouted with all my might, drawing out my abilities.

Phagejik-

A faint spark lingered at the tip of his finger and shot out toward Kelly.

“Giyaaaat!”

A blue light flashed over Kelly’s body as she was hit by a blue spark.

Because it was an attack with a higher output than before, the electricity seemed to spread throughout my body.

Kelly sank to the floor and groaned in pain.

It worked, as expected.

Looking at Kelly, I could guess what her abilities were.

Although not exact, Kelly’s abilities seemed to be based on her perception.

Attacks that you are not aware of are not affected.

Conversely, any attack that you can perceive will be received as is.

Kelly was lying on the floor, squirming, as if she was not used to pain.

I looked at the sight and slowly walked forward.

“Oh, does it hurt? It’ll hurt more. Because I’m going to shoot a stronger electric current!”

I kept talking.

It was to hammer into Kelly’s head how painful, how agonizing, and yet how scary my powers were.

Phage crackle!

In fact, he fired a stronger lightning bolt.

However, Kelly, who was writhing in pain, was unaffected by this attack.

Because he had his eyes tightly shut and his ears covered, he did not perceive my attack.

I stomped over and grabbed Kelly’s hand.

No, I tried to catch it.

But, as if chasing a ghost, my hand passed through Kelly’s body.

I was terrified at the sight and fell backwards.

“Sigh… Ugh… It hurts….”

Kelly’s body began to blur.

The body gradually fading away and the voice starting to fade away, they looked like ghosts and gave me the creeps.

Kelly disappeared completely shortly thereafter.

As if it had never been there in the first place.

I looked around blankly.

In the empty room, Kelly was nowhere to be found.

I started to move cautiously.

Because there was no way of knowing when or where Kelly would reappear.

Didn’t you disappear earlier thanks to Amy’s ability and then kidnap me when everyone was off guard?

It was a truly terrifying ability that made it impossible to let one’s guard down.

I thought.

Isn’t it possible that Kelly’s main body is separate and that she uses her abilities to move something similar to a clone?

It wasn’t a completely impossible possibility.

But it’s a situation where you can’t be sure.

All I can do now is escape this room and meet Amy again.

Squeak-

As I opened the large door and came out, a black hallway greeted me.

I bit my lip in the eerie hallway.

This is not a castle inhabited by ghosts.

It’s where people live.

There are no ghosts.

I took out a crayon from my bag and started walking, drawing lines on the wall.

Because if I didn’t do this, I felt like Amy wouldn’t be able to find me.

Kookookookook!

The Black Palace continued to shake without warning.

The building continued to tilt, perhaps due to the strong impact from within.

I looked up at the small iron ball that Kelly had packed in the hallway.

The marbles rolled to one place.

It definitely means the building is leaning.

I reached out toward the receding iron ball.

Phagejik-

A small spark flew and the rolling iron ball flew towards my hand.

How long did it take to walk like that?

“Shine… Mom…”

I wanted to see Shine.

My one and only sister.

I wanted to see Amy.

My one and only mother.

I was walking with those thoughts in my mind.

I could see the hallways of the Black Palace beginning to change right before my eyes.

Knock knock – A small noise occurs, and the wall itself warps, creating a large staircase.

I gulped at the sight.

“Hey, you want me to go here…?”

It was as if the Black Archer was listening to me and guiding me along the way.

But my question received no answer.

I looked around, then closed my eyes tightly and climbed up the stairs.

At that moment, with a crunching sound, a large wall appeared behind me.

Now there is only one way left.

There was only one way up the stairs.

I swept the wall behind me once and then climbed the stairs.

As you climb all the stairs, a black hallway similar to before continues.

But it wasn’t a straight line.

There were small side roads here and there, as if telling us to go there.

I started walking along the path that the Black Palace had created.

After walking along the road for a while, I was able to discover a familiar silhouette.

A little chick and a trembling lily.

And then there’s Amy, with her arms crossed and giving off a bad vibe.

I shouted with my arms spread wide.

“Mom! Rain! Lily!”

The Black Palace really showed me the way.

I gave the wall of the Black Palace a little kiss and then ran to Amy.

Amy, who had been watching me from afar, opened her mouth in surprise and ran towards me.

I, who was running towards her, jumped up from my spot and hugged Amy.

A familiar scent and a familiar softness.

It really was Amy.

“Jeff!”

“Mom!”

I told Amy everything that had just happened.

What Kelly was trying to do, how evil her thoughts were.

Lily’s face turned pale every time she spoke of Kelly’s misdeeds.

When I told her everything I knew about Kelly’s abilities, Amy patted me on the head.

I took a deep breath and relaxed into her arms.

“Go home now.”

“Yeah…”

Now it’s time to go back.

Of course, you’ll have to find Shine.

But I had no worries.

“Tell my sister!”

As soon as I finished speaking, the Black Archer began to move.

Lily screamed in surprise at the sight.

“Ms. Jeff? That’s…?”

I didn’t know why, but the Black Archer was kind to me.
