Chapter 5: Directly electrocute, then 😡

It’s about to get dark…

‘Emm… it should be fine to just stay one night.’

Noel said to herself.

‘Okay, I’ll stay.’ Noel agreed to the big sister’s request.

“That’s a good girl~!”

The smile on the big sister’s face instantly bloomed even brighter.

[Hunter Favorability +999]

Noel: …Ah (°ー°〃)?

‘Is this number right Σ( ° △ °|||)︴?’

“Come inside with sister~”

The big sister stood up, warmly taking Noel’s soft little hand and leading her into the wooden cabin.

The interior was decorated very cozily. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the air was filled with the aroma of stewed meat.

This atmosphere made Noel’s tense heart relax a little.

The big sister let Noel sit on the soft couch, bringing over steaming hot black tea and a fragrant roasted steak.

“Eat up, little poor thing. You must be starving, right?” The hunter sister’s voice was almost melting with gentleness.

Noel was hungry.

All that thinking earlier, plus walking for several hours, had consumed a lot of her energy.

Besides, she hadn’t been willing to eat her sandwich.

The smell of meat made her stomach growl embarrassingly.

“Don’t be shy, okay?” the hunter sister said with a smile.

“Mm-hmm, thank you.”

Noel picked up her fork, carefully cut off a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth.

The taste… tender and juicy, absolutely amazing!

“So delicious (✧∇✧)!” Noel’s eyes lit up, and her originally tense nerves relaxed.

She ate ravenously, while the big sister sat to the side, supporting her chin with one hand, quietly watching her eat.

“Are you full?”

“Mm, I’m full (๓´˘`๓)” Noel looked completely satisfied.

However, just as Noel swallowed the last sip of black tea, a strong wave of dizziness suddenly hit her.

“Ugh… what’s wrong ๑_๑?”

The scene before her began to spin. The teacup slipped from her hand and fell to the floor with a crack.

“Hee hee hee… you’ve had your fill, now it’s big sister’s turn to eat.”

A suppressed low laugh came from the big sister’s ear. The voice was no longer gentle.

Instead, it carried a kind of chilling madness and fervor.

In the last second before her consciousness faded, Noel seemed to see the hunter sister’s pretty face leaning close to her, a sinister, wicked smile curling at the corner of her mouth…

“Hunting successful~”

…

…

“Mmmgh…”

When she woke up again, Noel found herself lying on a soft large bed.

But her heart nearly stopped.

Her wrists and ankles were locked in cold metal shackles, spread-eagled and fixed to the headboard and footboard.

Although her dress was still on, several buttons had been undone, revealing her fair skin.

Beside the bed, that hunter sister was sitting on the edge, playing with a small knife that gleamed coldly, her gaze dazed and manic.

“Awake? Little cutie, did you sleep well?”

The big sister leaned down, the cold back of the blade sliding slowly down Noel’s cheek, across her neck, and finally stopping at her collarbone.

“Who… who are you?! What do you want?!”

Noel instinctively tried to struggle, but was horrified to find her whole body weak and limp, not even having the strength to move a finger.

‘The food just now was drugged!’

“Who I am isn’t important.” The big sister chuckled softly, leaning down, her warm breath spraying on Noel’s ear. “What’s important is, do you know what kind of hunter sister hunts?”

Noel’s eyes widened. She didn’t dare to move.

“What I love most is hunting little onee-sans like you, so innocent, helpless, and cute.” The hunter sister stuck out her tongue and licked her lips lightly.

“I, I’m not a onee-san (๑˃ಐ˂৭)!” Noel screamed.

Smack!

In return, the hunter sister slapped her.

“Ahh X﹏X” A palm print was left on Noel’s cute little face.

“I say you are, so you are!” the hunter sister said ferociously.

This sudden change of face made Noel’s heart feel like it was about to jump out of her chest.

“Listen up, Noel. From now on—”

“No… don’t…” Noel shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face.

“You will be my puppet forever, hahahahahaha!!!” The hunter sister suddenly showed a sick, twisted grin, completely dropping the act.

The big sister threw away the knife, propped her hands on either side of Noel, and pressed down onto her.

She forcefully held down Noel’s struggling hands, staring intently into those tearful red eyes.

Then, a feeling of suffocation and despair instantly drowned Noel.

[Bad Ending Achieved: Lolita Hunter]

[Innate Talent “Time Rewind” has been triggered.]

[Loading save…]

…

…

…

“Gaaah—!!”

Noel’s eyes snapped open. She gasped for breath.

It was the familiar forest again, the bright sunlight again.

She clutched her burning cheek, feeling completely terrible.

Although she knew this was a dark fairy tale, still—

“In the fairy tale, the heroic hunter uncle who rescues Little Red Riding Hood is actually a perverted lolicon big sister here?!”

“Is there any justice QAQ!”

Noel felt like crying but had no tears.

If the first death was due to information gap with the vine monster, the second death was being tricked emotionally, meow.

Alright, third cycle… the information she got was: the right path at the fork in the road is absolutely forbidden!

That so-called hunter’s cabin is just a silver den of depravity (sad).

“Phew, let’s go…”

Noel took another deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

She stood up again, and relying on muscle memory, skillfully avoided the deadly vine two meters in front of her spawn point.

This time, without any hesitation, she walked straight to the fork in the road.

Left: A pitch-black, sinister dense forest, terrifying just to look at.

Right: A bright, sunny main road, leading to the perverted hunter big sister’s trap.

Although she was scared… compared to being ‘eaten’ by that big sister, Noel would rather go to the big forest on the left!

Noel gritted her teeth, turned around, and braced herself to walk into the black dense forest on the left that seemed full of malice.

The moment she stepped into this area, the light instantly dimmed.

The trees around were incredibly sinister, their twisted branches like withered hands reaching for the sky.

The temperature also dropped several degrees, and cold wind whistled into her collar.

“Ugh…”

Noel hugged her shoulders, moving step by step cautiously.

With every step, she looked around, afraid something might jump out of the bushes.

But fortunately, there were no vine monsters here.

After walking for about ten minutes, she heard the sound of babbling water ahead.

It was a small stream.

Honestly, hearing the sound of a trickling stream in such a dark environment, Noel breathed a sigh of relief.

She decided to rest there for a bit.

Just then…

“Hmm?”

Noel noticed a figure on a large rock by the stream.

It was a girl.

She had short golden hair that reached her shoulders, a pair of cute animal ears on her head, and emerald-green eyes that were as calm and deep as a bottomless pool.

The most striking thing was the heavy gray wolfskin cloak draped over her, almost covering her entire body, leaving only her delicate face and tightly pressed lips visible.

This expressionless beast-eared girl held a sharp little knife in her hand.

The girl stood there quietly, exuding a palpable killing intent, as if she were the ruler of this forest, the embodiment of death.

“Co… could she be the Big Bad Wolf from the story?”

Noel’s heart jumped into her throat.

Beast ears and a wolfskin cloak, plus this oppressive pressure and murderous aura—there was no doubt. This girl was definitely the Big Bad Wolf who ate Little Red Riding Hood!

‘In this dungeon, she’s actually set as a cute wolf girl?’

Just as Noel was stunned, the golden-haired girl seemed to sense the movement nearby.

She slowly turned her head, and those emerald eyes instantly locked onto the petite Noel.

“…”

Without any words or any test, the next second, the girl moved.

Like a wolf hunting, she pushed off the ground with her toes, turning into an afterimage, and rushed toward Noel at extreme speed with her knife!

The speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, she was already within ten meters!

“Eeek Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ”

Zero-frame startup!

The shadow of death instantly enveloped Noel.

Just then, that cursed mechanical voice rang out again, this time with a countdown!

[Decisive Moment!]

[Facing the Wolf Girl’s ambush, you must make a choice within five seconds!]

[5… 4… 3…]

[A. Walk straight toward her.]

[B. RUN!!!]

“Eh?! Five seconds?!”

Noel was scared out of her wits.

‘Come on, walking straight toward her would be asking to get killed!’

‘Definitely pick B!’

‘Run! Run away (つД`’)!’

Noel screamed in her heart, instinctively choosing to turn and flee.

However, the moment she turned around, she heard a whistling wind sound right above her head.

Noel looked up instinctively.

A giant rock, as big as a millstone, was falling vertically from a hundred meters high, heading straight for her face with the force of destruction!

‘I’m done…’

That was the only thought in Noel’s mind.
