“Chapter 296: Time for Punishment”

– WHAT!? JUST HAPPENED!!!??? (Ralph)

Who was it!? I can’t feel anyone’s presence.

Whoever it was has restored the whale to its original state.

Someone keeps messing with us while watching us from above the table-

【GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA】

– This is bad. This is really really bad. That thing doesn’t give up. (Moruru)

The whale was moving towards us, engulfing all the beasts and the remainings of the temple.

– R-RETREAT!

We were getting quickly sucked in by the vortex in its mouth.

Ralph and Moruru had tools to resist, but I was left defenseless.

【Hehehe…】

– Again that voice!

Just like during the experiment with Regda, only I could hear it.

【You don’t need to talk. I know exactly what you want to say. “Who the hell are you? Why are you doing this?”】

– !!??

If I wasn’t underwater I would be yelling my lungs out.

– 【No need to make that scary face! Okay, so, first things first. Who am I? Hmmm~ We might not have time for that right now. Why am I doing this? That’s easy! I just want to play with you, Takaya-kun~ Or should I call you Nagami-kun?】

“Nagami-kun”!?

No, this isn’t Shiori. She’s dead.

– 【”How do you know my name?” I asked a little friend of yours. I think he- Woops! I might get scolded if I keep talking~】

…One of my classmates other than Shiori told her.

(What do you want?)

– 【You’re so easy to read. Well, I said I wanted to play with you, but that’s half of it. Do you remember the last incident?】

(Incident?)

– 【That nutjob stalker. You did a little something at the time, right?】

She’s talking about our battle with Shiori.

Does she know about Roar and me recovering my powers?

– 【I might have made a mistake and turned the regulation on that girl’s head way too much. Whatever the case. I’ll use my Administrator Authority to give you a little punishment for what you did. Will you be able to escape from inside the whale without your friends?】

Ralph and Moruru were trying their best to hold me from getting absorbed, but multiple white arms entangled them, which caused me to be swallowed by the whale.

– 【OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo】

– TAKAYA!

– MASTER!

– RALPH, MORURU!

– 【Ahahaha! Good luck! If you manage to clear this task, I’ll give you a reward. I might even invite you to my house♪】
