Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

"So, where is it?"

.... Blink. Blink.

It?

The Obyn family of 4 thought for a bit before their eyes suddenly lit up in understanding.

This time, Chiyou was the one to speak.

"Grandmaster... We dared not touch it after listening to your suspicions. So it's still in my room untouched." She said hastily with a distorted expression.

Touch that thing? She dare not!

In fact, she hadn't even entered her room since yesterday.

And if one looked at her outfit, they would be able to tell that her clothes were looser than normal.

Yup!

She wore her mother's clothes, completely shutting her door as though it was the gateway to the underworld.

Dorian nodded and looked in the direction Chiyou pointed at.

~Creak. Creak. Creek

The wooden floors kept squeaking once more as the gang followed behind Dorian closely, as though they didn't want to be left alone here again.

Hey! Who knew if some strange thing would attack them once he was gone?

Say no more.

The safest place to be was wherever the Grandmaster was.

Dorian shook his head wryly, once again confirming his thoughts about the people in this world.

At this rate, wouldn't they be more liable to have heart attacks frequently?

What an interesting world.

.

Like Shaggy and Scooby, the gang subconsciously moved on tiptoes behind Dorian and Butler Sheng.

And soon, they stopped before the wooden door that now looked gigantic and horrific in their very imaginative minds.

Dorian was the first to pause.

He stopped, crouched down, drew his fingers across the door and examined the contents he picked on it.

To them, it looked just like dust.

But with his heavenly eyes opened up, what he saw was a far cry from reality.

Oh?

Dorian raised his brows thoughtfully while everyone else was fighting to see what it was that had piqued his interest.

They looked at it so much, with Chindu even using his eyes to open his eyelids wider.

The little boy stared hard before looking at the adults again.

And after seeing that everyone was frowning, he very quickly frowned as well in pretense.

Eh? Could it be that his eyes had problems?

Because all he saw was dust.

But seeing that everyone else was so focused, then they should've also noticed something different too, right?

Yes. Yes. That must be it.

With that, the little boy frowned hard in pretense, giving the most adorable face ever.

But little did he know that just like him, no one else could see what Dorian saw.

Oh well... Might as well fake it till you make it.

.

Interesting.

Dorian rubbed the substance off his fingertip, stood up, stared at the door for a bit.

Catchak!

The handle turned, and the door was pushed open.

Gasp.

Everyone else flinched back in fear as a part of them had been expecting something to attack them once they opened the door.

They closed one eye and left the other open while still keeping their hands over their faces.

But after opening the door, nothing happened.

.... Well, this was embarrassing.

They looked at the Grandmaster who was now stepping into the room and quickly followed behind him, not daring to be separated from him for even a second.

Who wanted to stay in this hallway?

They quickly slapped their legs and chased behind him with brisk footsteps.

Grandmaster... Wait for us!

(XoX)

Like so, everyone forced their way into the room, with no one standing directly at the door.

They hastily stood along the walls of the tiny room, squeezing themselves in one location while watching the Grandmaster go to work.

You say they are an inconvenience? Then why don't you try being in their shoes?

The Obyn family shamelessly higher each other, staying in one position trying to create more room for the Grandmaster and Butler Sheng.

Butler Sheng had indeed wanted to tell them to wait outside the room

But their move alone was evident that even if a Caterpillar came to lift them away, they still wouldn't move.

Butler Sheng smacked his lips together helplessly.

This was the first 'unreasonable' group of customers he had net ever since he began his journey with Dorian.

Hello? Couldn't they see that the room was just too small?

The Obyn family turned a blind eye to the side as though they hadn't seen Butler Sheng's gestures at all.

It was just that now, standing within the room, they didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but they felt a very mild wave of cold air penetrate their bodies subconsciously.

No... It was more like just standing in the room was giving them very faint headaches.

But maybe they were overthinking things?

.

Dorian walked into the room, scanning his eyes across every corner of the room from top to bottom.

Orderly.

That's the first impression he had of the room's owner.

Though very tiny, the room had tiny furniture that gave the illusion of it being bigger than it was.

A little table at the foremost end of the room at the bottom of the bed, a tiny bed, a small table mirror... All made the room look big.

And underneath the bed, one could see reveal boxes, probably filled with clothes in them.

At another corner, one could see several stacks of books neatly arranged on the floor in a pile too.

The Bed was dressed with very overused beddings that looked old, washed off but clean.

Butler Sheng also bad another understanding of Chiyou's character from her room setup

But unlike everyone else, Dorian kept looking around with his heavenly eye, noticing the true culprit of the matter from the moment he stepped into the room.

Purple energy!

The room was filled with a thick fog of purple energy, flowing around as though it were the air itself.

The curtain of purple mist kept swirling and dancing around the room like a tornado.

And the culprit behind this was the object lying beside the table mirror.

The comb!
