Chapter 47

After rushi+ng through the alleys, Harron stopped in front of an old house, which had a warped red door that was slanted

With tre

“Ria! Ria!”

Ah their insides had been set on fire

Their hands continued to shake as they ruh their pockets for the front door’s key, but the door squeaked open

Through the tears in their eyes, Harron saw their little sister’s face as the door was opened

“Uh…”

“Ria!”

Harron swung the door all of a sudden and stepped quickly into the house

They collapsed to the floor while holding their scrawny younger sister in their eh of relief

This was a sunless house where the sun’s rays did not reach even when it was high up in the sky

“W-Why are you… Did so happen?”

Confused by the sudden situation, Ria patted Harron on the shoulder and asked her older sibling

After Harron confirmed that their sister was unscathed, they felt all the tension in their body being released

Then, behind that relief orry and anger

“You! What’s this! YouRia and lowered her, then they opened their hand

The entire ti in their closed fist

A crude, shoddy doll hite hair

“Urk”

The moment she saw the doll, Ria tre

With her wide, round eyes shaking, she tried to gauge Harron’s teh of an answer

Tears welled up

Harron felt their throat clench up with a burning sensation At this, they gulped dryly and suppressed their emotions

“I, I told you not to do that anyet sick… Besides that, you know that this is a dangerous alley, right? What if you get into trouble while you’re out alone!”

As Harron tried to hold back their tears, their voice grew even louder in voluan to well up in the child’s wide eyes

“I’ Sister’s friend was the one who bought it!”

The child rew colder and colder

“Friend?”

Harron blinked at the unfamiliar word

She had no friends Friends were a luxury, so she never had any or ever tried to befriend any in the first place

But still, what friend?

“Ah, right! Big Sister’s friend even brought some food and came over to visit! Over there!”

Ria expressed the unfairness she felt through her cries of indignation, then she suddenly raised one hand and pointed towards somewhere

However, Harron couldn’t turn her head to see where her younger sister was looking

Her head was frozen in place

It felt like even the sweat running down her spine was going to becoan to tre

Slowly, Harron’s head turned Towards the direction Ria was pointing at

Her movements were so stiff that it seemed like her neck was that of a broken doll’s

With a shaky gaze, the figures in the dark began to co, the other standing

The former was a woman, and the latter was alike crazy To the point that she felt so suffocated by the pounding of her chest

“…Y…You…”

Proed with fear, the woman raised her hand

And what’s in her hand was a fan that was gently waved in the air

“hello, Harron”

Harron’s back straightened as she heard the relaxed greeting

Once again, that sensation

That terrifying sensation that felt as if an enorht in front of its wide-open mouth

“I-It can’t be”

While Harron was unable to say anything and could only gulp dryly, the woain

“But instead of Harron, should I call you Diana?”

An eerie gentleness stained with venom

Diana ca that she shouldn’t have touched

A black swamp, a black et out, the le, the deeper you’d fall

The hand holding onto Ria tightened

“Ria, can you go out for aSis just has to talk to her friend for a little bit”

Diana tried to suppress the tremor in her voice as she said this

She didn’t want Ria to worry about anything

However, contrary to Diana’s wishes, the anxiety she was feeling could hardly be hidden

Emotions that could not be easily hidden were easily read by the one next to you

The child’s eyes soon got wet

“Big Sister…”

“It’s alright I’erous and just stay by the door Count to 100 five ti her anxiously, Diana had a broad smile on her face

To the extent that the corner of her lips were so stiff

“What do you say? You can wait, right?”

Hearing the lively tone in Diana’s voice as she asked again, Ria nodded

The child was unsteady on her feet as she walked towards the door

Diana turned her head to watch Ria’s back until the end
