Chapter 251 Is this our place?

Sylvia looked at the book in front of her.

"Amazing!"

"It's drawn so meticulously, so detailed. Is this pointillism? Ah, but the workload would drive a demon mad!"

"No, this isn't pointillism. The dots here are made using stickers," Shesi explained.

"Stickers?"

"This is incredible! Can I borrow it to look at it again?"

Shesi pondered for a moment. Ameri hadn't mentioned anything like this to him, but... would the power of first love memories make Sylvia become like that too?

Shesi ultimately shook his head, refusing Sylvia's request.

"Ah... I can't... Then I'll have to engrave it into my mind right now," Sylvia said, then began to seriously read the manga.

"She really likes it."

"I didn't expect Sylvia to like scary things," Chima-chan exclaimed.

"I don't think so. Sylvia might not like scary things, but rather that manga, right?"

Shesi said, stroking Chima's head.

"Really?" Chima tilted her head and looked at Shesi.

"Hmm, never mind Sylvia for now. Let's first figure out how to create a terrifying haunted house. Everyone, draw the haunted house you've imagined... Chima-chan, could you let go of my hand?" Shesi said, looking at Chima, who was hugging his arm and rubbing her face against it.

"Okay..."

Shesi withdrew his hand, thinking that he should probably restrain himself from patting heads.

The demons discussed until school ended before returning home.

Inside the Babyls student dormitory,

Sylvia lay on her bed.

"Ghost... haunted house..."

Sylvia got up and found a long-forgotten box among her luggage.

"It's been a long time since I drew..." Sylvia opened the box and looked at the drawing tools inside.

The next day,

"First, a chilling despair, followed by a heart-pounding rush of excitement and pain! It's two sides of the same coin as exhilaration! Yes! That means, what the Magic Tool Division's haunted house needs is! A terrifying, clumsy reception magic tool that bites guests' bodies and minds, Zombie-chan!" Senior Schneider had just pulled out his cute zombie-chan drawing when Azu incinerated it.

Shesi saw this but didn't turn his head. Actually... it didn't seem too bad... "Alright, then, let's officially begin the Magic Tool Division's haunted house project report."

Chima was the first to raise her hand.

"I referenced a small prop from that book: an ice towel on a fishing rod."

Chima pulled out her creation from behind her.

"Drifting Ice Hammer."

"It's good as a decoration itself, and encountering something so cold in the dark will definitely give people a fright."

Shesi and the others:... "Chima-chan, we didn't mean to cause harm. And by 'cold,' do you mean 'chilling' in the way I'm thinking?"

"Then, Junior Yē Mǎ Shǐ."

"Anyway, I made something that I think looks quite scary."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expectations were piqued.

When Yē Mǎ Shǐ unveiled his creation,

"Uh..." Everyone felt it was hard to comment. Scary? Yes, looking at the terrifying image on top, it was definitely scary, but the pair of things below... "It feels like a mess..." Iruma commented.

Hearing this,

"I'm sorry, I originally intended to make it horror-themed, but as I worked on it, I kept adding various functions."

"Hmm... While it's good, it won't work," Shesi rejected.

"Heh heh heh, first-years, it seems you still have a long way to go!" Clara stood on Yē Mǎ Shǐ's machine, chuckling at the two of them.

"Could it be Senior Clara!" The two looked at Clara, who patted her bag, and then a huge drawing board emerged.

"Please see! Chapter One: Terrifyingly Cute..."

"Rejected," Azu immediately rejected it.

"I haven't even finished! This is only Chapter One!"

"Chapter One? What does that mean?"

"There are 216 chapters in total!" Clara said proudly.

"Who would listen to all that!" Azu retorted.

Clara said disdainfully,

"So, Azu, what have you made?"

"Hmph, compared to your stuff, mine is like heaven and earth."

"I, based on horror literature, have summarized..."

"Rejected," Shesi's voice interrupted Azu.

"W-why?"

"It's definitely no good if it's too complicated."

"Do you have a picture?" Shesi asked.

"Picture..." Azu, embarrassed, took out his abstract drawing from yesterday, which looked like a child's stick figure, and showed it to everyone.

"I'll burn it right now," Azu said, his body and the drawing in his hand igniting from shame.

"Spontaneous combustion?!"

Azu looked at Shesi and Iruma.

"I'm very sorry, but drawing and tracing... are really not my strengths."

Shesi looked at the drawing.

"Forget a strength, it's a weakness as deep as an abyss."

"But if the subject were Iruma-sama, I could draw him perfectly just by imagination."

Shesi:??? It's not an abyss with a cave where a strong person fell, right?

"What about Iruma?" Shesi asked Iruma.

"Hmm... Although I thought a lot, I just can't seem to find that feeling from back then, so I only drew some rough sketches."

Iruma showed the sketches to everyone.

"Oh, not bad," the demons exclaimed, looking at Iruma's sketches.

"Hmm, it has indeed declined a lot," Shesi commented, then pulled out his own drawing to show them.

"Oh! Super detailed, so well drawn!"

Iruma looked at Byun in the corner.

"What about Student Bain?"

All the demons were stunned. Oh right, wasn't there also Student Bain? How did they almost forget him?

"Uh..." Although Byun had a bit of social anxiety... one-sidedly (towards Shesi).

But he still handed his drawing to Iruma.

"Wow, Student Bain draws very well."

"This was drawn by my sister. I just came up with the idea," Byun explained.

Byun's sister? Shesi said in surprise, he didn't expect Byun to have a sister?

Byun, hearing this, looked at Shesi in terror.

"Are you already going after my sister?"

"No! I'm just curious!" Shesi yelled, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

"Wow!" Suddenly, Chima's voice made all the demons look over.

"Sylvia-chan, you draw so well!"

Shesi and the others walked over and nodded repeatedly at Sylvia's drawing.

"It's super amazing."

Iruma glanced at his brother, then, seeing his brother nod, looked at Sylvia.

"Sylvia, I appoint you as the art captain."

"Cap... captain? I... I can't. I think Senior Shesi..." Shesi patted Sylvia's shoulder.

"Sorry, Sylvia, I'm better suited for plotting the story."

Seeing this, Sylvia excitedly lowered her head. Azu, seeing this, also spoke up.

"Since it's decided, let's go inspect the venue."
