The moment Anna walked out of the tent, the dark night began to envelop her entire body like it was alive. In a moment, everything in the surrounding is covered with pitch-black darkness. Even the lighting magic tools couldn't show their light as the darkness covered it.
At the same time, Darren, who is inside Mira's tent, notices this strange phenomenon and tries to go outside.
Before he could move, "Darren!!" called Mira coldly as if she were warning her faithful subordinate.
"As you wish, My Lady. Will you want a cup of coffee? It seems it will be a long night." said Darren.
Mira just nodded like usual before returning back to reading her story books. Unusually for a strong person, she really takes her time just to read one storybook-like a completely ordinary person.
Ignoring the pitch-black darkness in the surrounding, Anna walks slowly to the bound naked goblin. The goblin thief is a treasure trove that even all his clothes are highly enchanted. ]
Hence, they need to strip him bare, leaving him with simple clothes for his private part to prevent him from escaping.
Arriving in front of the unconscious goblin, "[Pain]." muttered Anna in an unknown language.
"ARRGHHH!!!" screamed the goblin thief in pain.
The goblin thief suddenly feels sharp pain all over his body. After a few minutes of writhing in agony, the pain subsided a little bit but still left his body shivering in pain. Worse, he couldn't even fall unconscious as something forced him to wake up and feel all the pain.
"Did the green bubble repent?" asked Anna while still inside the darkness.
Hearing Anna's voice, Ragaz, the goblin thief, finally notices his surroundings. He couldn't see anything but darkness. He realizes this is not ordinary darkness as he couldn't even see his own body and the ground.
If he didn't feel the ground and the cold wind at night on his skin, he would have thought he was inside an enclosed room. However, he didn't panic as this was not the first time he got caught and stripped naked.
"Hmph… Anna asked a question to Green Bubble. [Pain]" grumbled Anna as she was being ignored.
"Urgghharrgg!!" Ragaz tried to withstand the pain, but he failed miserably.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUsually, people can adapt to pain after experiencing a certain period. As a mad thief, Ragaz is often tortured when caught. He already gets used to ordinary torturous pain, even the magical one.
However, the pain he currently feels is the worst he has ever received. It feels like his body has been stabbed countless times and his body will keep feeling the stabbing pain. Unlike before, the pain didn't recede and kept going on.
"Argghh… Stop!! Stop it!!" begged Ragaz in a cry.
Then, the pain slowly recedes, but it still takes Ragaz another few minutes before completely out of the pain. Still, he couldn't do any sudden movement as it would give a jolt of pain to his overwhelmed nerves.
"Alright. Did the Green bubble repent now?" asked Anna again.
"Green.. Urgh.. Bubble?" asked Ragaz in confusion while grimacing in pain when he was talking.
"Yeah. Green Bubble is a baddie for wanting to do bad things to Angus, Big sis, Mira, and me. Anna already forgave Green Bubble before. But Green Bubble is a baddie and doing it again."
"Normally, Anna will burst a green bubble. But Angus is interested in the Green Bubble. But, again, Green Bubble is a very baddie and needs to be punished. So, here Anna punishes the Bad Green Bubble." said Anna.
While still recovering in pain, Ragaz hears a very confused reply from Anna. But he is also a very observant thief with a sharp mind. He knows the green bubble is him, but he doesn't understand what it means to do bad things.
'Hell, I still haven't even stolen anything from your group!! Yet, you labeled me as a bad one.' cursed Ragaz at the prejudice.
As the famous thief in this area, he hates people who judge him as bad by knowing him as a thief.
He knows stealing is far from a good deed, but it is not something he can control. Therefore, he condemns everyone who judges him as bad just because he is stealing.
"So, did the Bad Green Bubble repent?" asked Anna again.
"Tch… Judging by your voice, you must be a very young girl or just a pervert who likes to use a young girl's voice. A person like you has no right to judge me!!" spat Ragaz angrily.
"[Pain]." muttered Anna in an unknown language.
"ARGHHH!!" screamed Ragaz as he felt the pain again.
After a few minutes of screaming in pain, "Hmph… This is harder than Anna thought. Anna should ask Angus to teach Anna when Angus punishes bubbles in the future." commented Anna ignoring the screaming goblin.
Anna keeps the goblin's experience unending for pain for another dozen minutes without letting him go insane or fall unconscious.
"Hmm… What to do… What to do… The Bad Green Bubble does not want to repent. Should Anna use Anna's magic wand? But the meanie magic wand said it would create a large explosion and wake Angus and the others. Hmmm…" said Anna while thinking hard.
"Stop.. Arghh.. I.. I repent.. Please make it Arghh.. Stop!!" screamed Ragaz in pain.
Suddenly, the pain in his body is gone like it did not exist in the first place.
"Ehh.. Really? Did the Bad Green Bubble truly repent?" asked Anna innocently.
Fear of getting the torturous pain again, "Y-Yes. I will repent. I will not steal anything again. Please no more…" said Ragaz in tears and fear.
"Steal?? What is the bad green bubble talking about? Anna didn't care if the green bubble was stealing, eating, or pooping."
"Anna only asked the bad green bubble to not do bad things to Anna, Angus, Big sis, and Mira. Umm… Maybe Nice Flashy Red since Nice Flashy Red gave me delicious meat last time." replied Anna.
"Err.. Huh?? What??" asked Ragaz in confusion.
Now, he truly cursed his fate to get caught by a crazy terrifying girl.
"Hmph… Did the Bad Green Bubble promise not to do bad things to Anna, Angus, Big sis, Mira, and Nice Flashy Red?" asked Anna again.
"Huh? Who?" asked Ragaz as he didn't know what to answer.
"Urghh… Bad Green Bubble is turning into Dumb Dumb Green Bubble. Should Anna ask Angus? No.. Angus will be angry at Anna if Angus knows. But the Dumb Dumb Green Bubble is too dumb. Even Onyx is smarter than Dumb Dumb Green Bubble." grumbled Anna.
Hearing this, Ragaz could only stay silent and didn't comment as he feared getting another mysterious pain in his body.
"Umm.. Anna will ask Mira. Anna hopes Mira is not sleeping yet. Otherwise, Anna didn't know what to do." said Anna as he moved towards Mira's tent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Miraaaa… Help!!" called Anna as she rushed to Mira's tent.
While charging at Mira, Anna destroyed anything in its path, even some part of the strong rune. If it wasn't for Darren's timely action, the whole tent would not stay intact. Ignoring the destruction, she hugs Mira, still lying on the flying pillow while reading her book.
"Mira… Mira needs to help Anna. Dumb Dumb Green Bubble is too dumb. Anna wants to make him repent, but Dumb Dumb Green Bubble is too stupid to understand the smart Anna. Mira needs to help Anna." said Anna while shaking her best friend.
Anna is completely oblivious to her rude intrusion and the grimaced Darren. He tries hard not to shout at Anna's rudeness.
"Umm. Darren." replied Mira with a nod before calling Darren.
"Ahh… thank you, Mira. Mira is the best." said Anna while hugging her friend.
"Come, Silver Corpse. Anna and Silver Corpse need to be silent or Angus and Big sis will wake up." said Anna before running out of the tent in a hurry.
'*Sigh* Her actions are completely opposite of what silence is.' thought Darren.
"Then, excuse me for a moment, My Lady." said Darren before disappearing.
Anna and Darren appeared before the bounded Green Goblin, struggling to escape. However, the pitch darkness in the surroundings leaves him helpless.
"Dumb Dumb Green Bubble, be glad Anna bring Silver Corpse to help Dumb Dumb Green Bubble's stupid brain understand. Silver Corpse tells Dumb Dumb Green Bubble to promise not to do bad things to Anna, Angus, Big sis, Mira, and Nice Flashy Red." said Anna.
At the same time, Darren wakes up from observing the surrounding darkness.
'This darkness… Just who is she?' thought Darren inwardly.
Before speaking to Ragaz, Darren decides to clarify a few things first to Anna. Finally, he gets the gist of what Anna wants Ragaz to do. Apparently, Anna is angry at Ragaz because he showed intense bad intentions toward them before.
Then, he bore this bad intention again when he arrived at their camp today. As a monster-minded person, she is susceptible to negative emotions such as intense bad intent. To Anna, a very fierce malicious intent is the same as attacking her.
Although it didn't wound her, it still offended and annoyed her. With her simple mind, she just wants nothing but to kill the person.
"So, in other words, Lady Anna wants you to promise not to harbor any kind of evil or bad intention against us anymore." said Darren to Ragaz.
