What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

Chapter 1230: Puppets Looking At You

“So… You’re saying that we’re basically in some kind of horror story?” Lisa asked.

I shrugged, “That’s what I think. A lot of things check the boxes for such a possibility.”

Odeta let out a snort, “There’s nothing horrifying about this though? It feels more like a waste of time.”

“Well… That’s because we’re used to fighting monsters and stuff already so things like these look normal to us. If it was a normal traveller who fell into this scenario… I would think even the zombie one might have killed them… It feels like they are increasing the difficulty as we go deeper though.”

“Ha! That means we might meet stronger enemies later? Sign me up!”

Right… Of course Odeta would be happy about stronger enemies…

Lisa gave me a lewd smile, “Oh~ Does that mean that there’s also more horny girls that we can fuck? I would love to watch you pound them again, Aster~”

Right… Of course Lisa would be happy about the possibility of more sex…

I cleared my throat before looking at the rest of the classroom, “Umm… Anyway… I think we still need to figure out how to get out of here… First things first… Lisa? Did you do something to cause that girl to appear?”

She tapped the side of her cheek before perking up, “Oh! Yes! I found this key here that was just laying on the table and the moment I picked it up, she appeared behind me!”

“Was that when you screamed?” I asked.

“Hmm? No, I just asked her what she wanted, then she started to approach me and then tried to bite me, that’s when I screamed and pushed her away.”

“You’re not even scared that she appeared behind you suddenly?”

“Well, I was definitely surprised but scared? Definitely not.”

Do my girls just have no concept of horror or something?

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised considering what they have been fighting normally…

Lisa handed the key to me and I inspected it closely, comparing it to the key that Odeta and I had found.

Unlike the key that Odeta and I found, there was a tag on this one which was absent in ours. On the tag were the numbers two, zero and three in that order.

If I had to guess… This should unlock one of the classrooms here.

I left the classroom we were in and realised there were plates outside the door that would have indicated numbers on them, but they were so worn out that the numbers were completely illegible.

But if I were to take a guess…

I counted the number of classrooms and there were seven in total. If we were to assume that the classrooms were in ascending order starting from the other end… And the first number simply indicated the floor number… The third classroom would be…

Ah… It’s the classroom that I literally broke down the door of…

Then… What about the key I got from there?

I turned towards the door at the end of the corridor which, if this was a normal school, would lead to another corridor in the next part of the building.

I guess we kind of skipped over the puzzles of unlocking the door by bruteforcing our way through it…

Going up to the door, I looked for a keyhole but found none, so I just tried to insert the key into the doorframe only to watch it sink in like the door was made of liquid.

There was an audible click and I pulled the door open, revealing a dark portal behind it.

I turned to Odeta and Lisa, reaching out both of my hands which they immediately slipped their own fingers into before we stepped into the portal together.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect on the other side but I was already expecting something horror related, so it was a surprise to me when I found ourselves standing in what looks like an opulent mansion.

It wasn’t a run down or abandoned type of mansion either, but a well maintained and spotless mansion. It’s not as big as the Nilm Family’s mansion but it certainly is big by normal people’s standards.

We were currently standing in the entrance hall and in front of us was a staircase with golden railings leading up to an alcove on the second floor. To our left and right were two solid wooden doors that were closed shut.

“Huh… Is there supposed to be something scary about this place?” Odeta asked, looking around the entrance hall we were in.

Lisa clapped her hands together, “Oh! I know! This is like a rest stop or something, right? We get to take a break here before we continue! That means… Ehehe~ Aster, those stairs look comfortable enough~ Let’s fuck~”

I bonked her on the head, “I highly doubt that they would put a rest stop in a place like this. Be on your guard in case this is a trap.”

Turning back, I decided to try the doors on either side first but both were locked.

I considered if I should just bust down the doors anyway but Odeta beat me to it.

“Sister Aster! Let me!!”

She pulled her fist back and punched at the door with a loud bang, using all of her strength to try and destroy it.

With how things were going, I was half expecting the door to be invulnerable but it looks like my expectations were off as the door exploded into pieces and flew into the room beyond.

Odeta gave me a guts pose and I gave her a headpat for that.

Looking through the doorway, it seems like it was the dining room of the mansion where a long table was placed.

The only thing was that the table was occupied, no… The entire room was occupied.

All around the room were various different dolls that took up almost all the space inside the entire room.

They were sitting in each of the chairs, on the table, on the floor, on the other chairs that were left around the room, on the side tables and several of them were even hanging from the ceiling.

And, just saying, the dolls were the wooden puppets type of dolls, so those that were hanging from the ceiling looked like they were just puppets that were being manipulated into different poses.

Honestly, this sight would have been creepy if it wasn’t for the fact that the place was brightly lit and immaculate. To be honest, it looks more like a sight you might see in a fairy tale instead.

“Oh~ What’s this? They look so cute~” Lisa giggled, going up towards one of the dolls and reaching for it.

“Wait!” I stopped her. “Don’t touch them!”

She paused and tilted her head at me, “Eh? Why?”

“Usually in these kinds of cases, they’re cursed… I think? No wait… That only applies when there’s only one doll… Actually… They don’t usually mention what happens when there’s more than one… Hmm…”

“Then this should be fine right~” Lisa giggled, picking up one of the dolls before I could stop her.

As soon as she lifted it, all the dolls in the room suddenly turned their heads towards her, their movements making a loud creaking sound as they did so.

I think if I was the one holding the doll, I would have dropped it out of surprise, but Lisa merely giggled at it and turned to show it to me.

“Look, look, Aster! It can move! Ehehehe~”

I gave her a pointed look, “Lisa… Do you not see that all the other dolls are looking at you right now?”

She looked around the room but instead of looking concerned, she looked curious instead.

In fact, she started to wave the doll in her hand around as though to see if the other dolls were watching the doll in her hands instead.

“Oh, that’s cool~ So do they also want to get picked or something?” She giggled.

Right then, something dropped out of the doll that Lisa was holding, the object in question shining on the ground just like the keys we found.

I went over to pick it up and sure enough, it was another key.

But the moment I touched it, the entire room started to shake and the groaning sound of wood being twisted could be heard all around us.

All of the dolls started clacking their mouths loudly and the colour around us seemed to bleed away. Even the furniture started to rapidly age and the once gleaming and clean room suddenly turned dark and dilapidated.

We were no longer standing in a clean and opulent mansion but rather, an abandoned and crumbling mansion instead.

The only things that didn’t change were the dolls and as suddenly as they started clacking their mouths, they stopped, though they still continued to stare at Lisa who was holding the doll.

Tsk… Should have known they would use the bait and switch… Now what?
