Side Story: Halloween Haunted House
Nell and Lyuu were frozen before the strange entrance.
It was a dark, mysterious, and terrifying sight to behold.
“…Um, Onii-san, what is this?” (Nell)
“Husband…what is this?” (Lyuu)“No. No, I am not Onii-san or Husband at the moment. I am the monster Demon Lord Frankenstein!” (Yuki)
“Demon Lord Frankenstein-san, I don’t think it’s a good idea to refer to a monster as a Demon Lord.”
“I don’t care if it sounds bad or not. Because I am the monster Demon Lord Frankenstein. You can call me Franken-san if you like.” (Yuki)
“I see, so, Monster-san. Can you explain to us what this is all about?”
“Yes, what is this?”
“Well, uh, it’s a haunted house.” (Yuki)
Nell said with a gulp, “A… a haunted house.”“Hmm, yeah, that’s right.” (Yuki)
Yes, this year’s Halloween was a haunted house.
The Wraith Girls were in their element!
“This is probably the only one of our family celebrations that I get nervous about…”
“Nell’s reaction is so cute, the Wraith Children love her.”
Yes, that’s true.
Nell might be the Wraith Girls’ favorite.
She was worth spooking.
“Fufufu, you should be thankful. Originally, I was going to ask you two to go in one by one, but then Nell – no, Nell the cat girl – will get stuck somewhere! So, I decided to pair you two together…” (Yuki)
“Why Lyuu of all people, and why not Lefi… it would have been very reassuring if I was paired with her…” (Nell)
“Oh, you are right, Nell, then, you can go in by yourself if you want.” (Lyuu)
“Oh, no, no, no, sorry, I’m kidding, I want you to stay with me, no really, please don’t leave me alone Lyuu, stay with me.” (Nell)
“Oh, I know, I know. I’m sure you’re scared as always, Nell.” (Lyuu)
Lyuu smiled wryly as Nell clung to her.
“It’s because the Wraith Girls are so serious when it comes to scaring people! That’s terrifying!” (Nell)
“…Well, their ability to surprise people is really amazing. And if the husband is helping them, then…well, I guess you’ll have to be prepared.” (Lyuu)
“…Why are you saying such a scary thing now, before we go in?” (Nell)
“Well, I like to see Nell scared, you know. Hehe…” (Lyuu)
“Ugh, traitor…!” (Nell)
“Fufufu, are you sure you want to say that? Nell is now in my hands, and I can do whatever I want with you.” (Lyuu)
“…Lyuu, you’re being so bossy, are you okay with it? You’re scared too, aren’t you? Can you enter the haunted house built by the Wraith Girls and Onii-san by yourself?” (Nell)
“I’m scared too, but I am more familiar with ghosts! I’m better than Nell!” (Lyuu)
“I’m frustrated that I can’t deny it…!” (Nell)
I smiled at the two of them as they chatted like that.
“What is it, Monster-san? What’s with that face?”
“…Yeah, you have quite an evil look on your face.”
“What? I am just trying to think of something fun to do, you know, to make it as fun as I want?” (Yuki)
“…as fun as as you want…”
“…to have fun, you need to give it your all.”
“You know exactly what I mean.” (Yuki)
Then they looked at each other.
“…Nell, I’m sorry for getting carried away. So, you know, I want you to stay with me.” (Lyuu)
“…Yeah, don’t worry about it. I’m the one asking you. Don’t leave me, stay next to me.” (Nell)
“…From here on, we’re all in this together.”
Even before entering the haunted house, the two of them were tight together, arm in arm. How cute those two were.
And then, my wives, looking a little nervous, entered the haunted house – and immediately, a beautiful scream could be heard from inside.
It never stopped, it kept on echoing intermittently, and it was echoing throughout my Demon Lord’s castle.
Well, I was glad to hear that they were enjoying it.
And so we spend the festival happily for the Wraith Girls of our home….
–Happy Halloween!
