484 This is my first time meeting such a handsome perver (1/2)

'So noisy…

'So noisy die I don't want to die stop being so noisy go die so noisy shut up die don't die so noisy so noisy go die…'

There was a huge commotion going on in Shoutarou Rinura's head right now. He was no longer able to differentiate between which noises came from his own heart and which noises were just illusionary fantasies.

Everything he saw before him kept flickering back and forth between reality and his dreams. Disgust, complaints, anger, and hatred, all these emotions that he possessed in both reality and his dream mixed together and formed something pitch-black and chaotic.

He faintly heard some rather strange words in his daze… was these words he heard in his dream? Or a foreign language?

No, they weren't, it sounded more like…

A curse…

The black mist around Shoutarou Rinura suddenly exploded!

By the time that Seiji noticed what was going on, he was already engulfed in darkness.

Seiji felt his head becoming dizzy and consciousness going hazy. He faintly saw many chaotic scenes and heard clamorous sounds as his body became light.

He did his best to maintain his consciousness. Soon, his head no longer felt dizzy and his field of vision returned to normal. He immediately noticed that the black mist had disappeared, but that the banquet hall was now dark with all the lights turned off as if the electricity had stopped.

Everyone in the banquet hall was standing there frozen with no signs of life in their eyes. It was as if they had all lost their souls.

Before Seiji could take a closer look at the situation, he suddenly saw a patch of bright red appear in his vision.

The bright red came from cluster amaryllis flowers.

”This is…”

While Seiji was still busy being astonished, the beautiful bright-red flowers continued to bloom in the banquet hall while glowing with a dim red.

Under the illumination of this red glow, everyone's clothes soon began to corrode. The skin revealed underneath soon began withering at high speed, and their hair began to fall out as their eyeballs melted. Their hands enlarged and soon became nothing but bones… in less than ten seconds' time, all the original banquet attendants had become a large group of skeletons with distorted bone claws!

*Whoosh…* The skeleton that was formerly the male host lunged in Seiji's direction!

Seiji dodged this attack, then dodged the female host skeleton's attack. He immediately cast [Body-strengthening technique] on himself and knocked back the female anime president skeleton with a punch.

More skeletons started rushing him, waving their sharp bone claws at him!

Seiji speedily retreated while casting [Mana Barrier] on himself. He dodged the skeletons' attacks while countering with his punches and kicks.

*Boom!* *Smack!* *Crash!* *Bang!*

There were far too many skeletons, and their bone claws were incredibly sharp. There was no way for him to dodge all the attacks, but luckily, his [Mana Barrier] was able to block all the attacks that landed on his body.

Not to mention, Seiji wasn't the only person in the banquet hall who was battling the skeletons.

In a location slightly far away from the stage, there was a crew cut hairstyle pudgy middle-aged man wearing a jacket and sweatpants who was agilely dodging the skeletons' attacks with dexterous movements that seemed completely unmatched with his body shape. He was shouting angrily loud while grabbing everything around him to block the skeletons' bone claw attacks or to attack the skeletons with.

”What the hell! Why did things suddenly become like this!? What exactly happened here!?”

He kept shouting while fighting the skeletons. Although he was slowly forced into a corner by the skeleton horde, he suddenly backflipped and then landed on the ceiling, attached there in a position like a toad's!

The skeletons kept jumping up and down while waving their bony claws at him. The pudgy middle-aged man kept crawling on the ceiling, while occasionally stomping down on a skeleton's head… this scene appeared both abnormal and hilarious.

Seiji noticed that the pudgy middle-aged man was heading in his direction.

”Harano-kun! You don't mind me addressing you this way, right? Do you know what's going on here!?” the pudgy middle-aged man shouted towards him.

”Of course you can call me Harano-kun. Also, may I ask who you are?” Seiji responded. ”I don't know how any of this happened, but I think it's connected to Shoutarou Rinura.”

”My name is Tsuyoshi Matsutani,” the pudgy middle-aged man replied. ”I think that this is connected to that Shoutarou Rinura as well… Damn it! I should have just left here immediately when I saw a black mist emerging from that middle school brat!”

He crawled near to Seiji's location and backflipped off of the feeling, crushing a skeleton under his feet as he landed.

The two of them started fighting together as allies, which made it much easier on both of them to face the skeleton horde.
