Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Magallan truly was a figure of causality. Even he, with his Causality Vision, had to admire her causal influence.

While Lucas Reeve was thinking, Sora had already gone to the kitchen and brought back a cutting board and a kitchen knife, looking fully armed. It was actually somewhat cute.

”You... You!! Who are you!!”

Sora hid far away, looking at Lucas Reeve. To be honest, Sora was quite brave. Anyone else encountering such a paranormal situation would have been scared stiff and fled immediately. But Sora was still in the room, questioning it. It seemed that after staying with Penguin Logistics and seeing so many strange events in Siesta, Sora’s mental fortitude had improved considerably.

”Uh... I don’t really know either. I just woke up like this.”

Lucas Reeve didn’t say who he was, just told a simple lie.

Sora could be considered someone who had seen the world in Siesta.

After all.

’Beach ’Kill’ Volleyball,’ ’Lethal ’Melon-Split’,’ ’Seaborn Coming Ashore,’ ’two-kick,’ ’pandemonium of gods,’ ’tentacle monster,’ ’Flame Twilight,’ ’volcano vanishing act.’

After experiencing so many events that an ordinary person wouldn’t encounter in a lifetime, or even several lifetimes, it would be strange if her mental state hadn’t improved.

And precisely because she had seen so many unbelievable things, Sora’s mindset gradually stabilized.

So what if a teddy bear started moving on its own?

Big deal.

Besides... she herself had wished for Bailey to move. Did this count as her wish being granted?

Bailey was given to her by Jessica.

And Jessica was surrounded by so many incredible people. This meant that the strange things Jessica experienced in her daily life, things ordinary people couldn’t comprehend, had become her new normal. And Jessica definitely couldn’t have been unaware of Bailey’s situation. After all, even if Jessica couldn’t tell, the people around her, Miss Nian, Miss Dusk, Miss Nine-Colored Deer, could definitely tell.

So, it was very

likely Jessica knew Bailey was actually alive and could move.

And the reason Jessica gave her to her was perhaps...

To give her a companion??

The more Sora thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After all, how could Jessica, a top-tier heiress, possibly harm her? It must have been for some kind of protection, or maybe she just wanted to give her a surprise, which is why she gave Bailey to her without telling her the truth beforehand, choosing to keep her guessing.

Yes!!

That must be it!

How could a gift from a super-rich young lady like Jessica be just an ordinary teddy bear? There had to be something more to it.

Sora felt like she understood!

As for the Lucas Reeve opposite her, seeing Sora’s expression gradually shift from initial panic, to nervousness, and now to relaxation, he only grew more puzzled.

Did this girl... misunderstand something?

Sora moved a little closer, wanting to get a better look at Lucas Reeve.

It had to be said.

Now that it was alive, Bailey, with its little black eyes blinking, was actually quite cute. Coupled with its short arms and legs, it stood on the bed, wobbling slightly.

Awww!

Her girlish heart was exploding!!

In reality, 90% of people in this world weren’t afraid of supernatural phenomena; they were afraid of ugly appearances. For example, if every zombie in a Columbian zombie movie was a fair-skinned, beautiful, mature woman or a cute lolita, it would probably only take an instant for the situation to reverse from zombies hunting humans to humans hunting zombies, with the zombies fleeing in panic.

Take, for example, a movie from Higashi... Sadako crawling out of the TV.

If Sadako was cute, beautiful, and had a hot body, I reckon... probably no one would be afraid.

Some might even, in the instant Sadako crawled out, pull the TV’s power cord, ensuring she couldn’t go back, then reveal a sleazy smile, announce their family name was Ning! and immediately make his move.

If the one standing on the bed was an ugly demon, Sora would have probably fled immediately. But it was a cute teddy bear... This... it didn’t look like it had much attack power at all.

”Bailey, were you able to move all along? Or....”

Sora cautiously walked over, reached out a finger, and poked Lucas Reeve on the head.

”Uh... no. I just gained consciousness.”

Is that so...

Phew...

Sora let out a heavy sigh of relief.

If Bailey had been conscious all along, then thinking about it would be really embarrassing. After all, she lived alone in her own home, and there were bound to be some unladylike things.

For example...
