Anyways, enjoy this chapter!

"The source has stopped moving completely." Oshigiri informed, "Got it, should we hurry up a bit? If we screwed up, Kudou's gonna be pissed." Kaikoku asked as they both walk forward towards on finding their friends.

- Flashback -

"I'm going too!" Anya screamed as he trashed around (Y/n) and Makino's hold. "Hey!! Let go of me!"

"You can't Anya! It will be dangerous!" (Y/n) cried as her and Makino tighten her hold on Anya.

"So that's how the transmitter works. You have to bring them back." Yuzu motionlessly said, "I'm counting on you."

- End of Flashback -

"If we mess up, Roro-san might poison us... I also want to see (Y/n) soon so i'll finish this as fast as i can." Kaikoku mumbled the last part.

Oshigiri scoffs, "Kudou acts on his emotions. This time, it's probably best to let him stay here. You'd better not act recklessly either." Oshigiri scolded.

"Yeah, yeah."

Oshigiri wrote a right sign with a "X" on top on a tree with his knife. "In a stealth game, It's more important to complete the assigned task and return safely than to subdue the enemy."

He looked at Onigasaki, "The moment we free the captives we return to the village immediately. Don't think about doing anything to the ogres. That's what Paca wants."

"Running away from the enemy? I'll bring shame to the Onigasaki name." Kaikoku said with a closed-eye smile.

"Your life is more important." Zakuro complains. "If that's going to be a problem for you, then get rid of the name."

Onigasaki froze up stared at Zakuro for about a second.

Onigasaki's face darkens as he looks away. "Now that's extreme."

"I have a purpose to fulfill... There's no way i'm going to die here." Zakuro said, He won't allow himself to die, not until he and (Y/n) become lovers. He's going to save his sister no matter what. Then he would introduce them to each other and get along because they are both kind and sweet so he won't allow himself to lose. He's going to win, even if he had to result on cheating, he would.

"Your twin sister, huh... Why did you tell me about that at that time?" Onigasaki asked.

"While everyone else was obediently working on the game, you were the only one who's focused on finding shorter escape route. Which also means that you were the most obsessed with going home. Or that's what i thought." Zakuro explains, Kaikoku's eyes soften.

Both arrived at what seems like the underground space of the house.

"It's huge... Luckily, it seems there aren't any guards around." Onigasaki looks around and spotted a person fishing. "Oshigiri, over there." Zakuro looked at the person.

"How refined..." Onigasaki said.

Then the both heard a noise above. "Ah, dammit..."

"What was that..."

"Iride! Iride, is that you?!" Oshigiri finished. Suddenly a planked was removed and there was Iride in all his glory with a mouse in his eyes? "Kaikoku-san! Oshigiri-san!" Iride exclaimed.

Iride coughs, "I escaped by going above the ceiling..." Iride shakely said. "I see, It's good that you're okay."

"How about Sarayashiki?" Zakuro asked, "Ah, yes! She's in trouble! If we don't hurry up, Karin-san will be..!"

Iride stand up and run towards somewhere. Both of them followed, "Quick, quick! This way!"

"Here!"

And there showed a doll-like mansion room. "...Huh?"

"What the.."

"It's the Ogrevarian Family of Terror..." Iride said, sweating in fear.

Both of them looked at Iride as if he was joking.

"...Sorry, what was that?" Oshigiri asked. Iride eyes glared a little bit as he repeated.

"That girl's playing a life-sized version of house with the girls she kidnapped."

"She undressed Karin-san in a flash and now she's turned into her new maid, Veronica.." Iride explains.

"And you just stood there staring..?" Onigasaki asked and glanced at him. "Yes, there was nothing i could do."

"And you watched her get changed too.." Both of them stared at Iride. "Yes... There was nothing i could do either." Iride said with a lace of disappointment. Onigasaki looked away as Zakuro looked at Iride, blush covered in his face.

"W-what are you saying?!"

"Veronica, please make me a cup of tea." Kikka grinned. Karin looked at her anger evident on her face.

"Today, let's see.. I feel like Earl Grey." Sarayashiki grumbled. She did nothing but stand there for a few seconds.

"Did you not hear me, Veronica! I'll fire you!" Kikka whined, Karin who is in her limits, "Go ahead! In fact, that's what i'm hoping for..." Suddenly a girl with a mask appears next to her.

"Hey... Are you the new girl?" She asked.

"It's best not to disobey her.."

"If you're obedient, they won't harm you."

"Well, I'd much rather..!"

The girl with a mask sprints toward her and grabs her shoulder. "You'll be disposed of."

Kikka leaned her chair as she grinned, "Yeah, if you disobey me, I'll get Ojii-chan to crush you."

Karin grumbled angrily.

"The ogres this time have cheat-level strength.."

Kikka stood up from her chair, "No matter where Ojii-chan is, he'll come when i call him. Unlike you guys who run away and leave your friends behind." Karin get's angrier at this time.

"So please make me a delicious full course meal, Veronica!" Kikka smiled at Karin.
