After some time, Ronald finally let go of Isaac. Isaac dropped to the ground and said. "Finally, that dunce let go. Ugh... I think he broke all my bones."
I carried Isaac up and gave him a good smack on his back. "Stop being such a wuss. Your bones are not broken." I squeezed his arm. "Look, no pain, right?"
Isaac glared at me and said. "I don't feel pain on my arm because my whole body is in pain! I wonder if I can live long enough for my next birthday before my "friends" accidentally kill me." I rolled my eyes and walked towards Ronald.
Rona walked towards Isaac and nuzzled Isaac's arm. "Hmm? Rona, what wrong?" Isaac smiled and rubbed her head. Rona looked at Isaac and then his arm. Rona licked her lips and bit Isaac's arm. Isaac was shocked and screamed. "Rona! My arm isn't food!"
At the same time, Ronald and I were leisurely gazing at the ceiling of the dungeon. I laughed. "See. The ceiling didn't fall on us, right?"
Ronald nodded. "Yup, everything is perfectly fine. I'm glad."
"AAAHH!!! Rona!" We heard Isaac's scream. Ronald and I looked at each other. "Rona?" We quickly rushed over to Isaac's side.
"What happened? Are you all alright?" I asked.
"Did the little girl attack you guys?"
"What do you guys think?" Isaac yelled.
"Rona!" Ronald tried to pull Rona away while I was standing beside Rona, staring at Rona biting Isaac's arm. "Tasty?"
Isaac yelled at me. "What are you doing? Get Rona off me!"
I pouted. "Fine. Stop yelling, would you?" I patted Rona's back and said. "Rona. Rona. Open your mouth. Come on. Be a good girl." Rona shook her head and wouldn't open my mouth.
I shrugged. "I tried my best."
Isaac yelled at me again. "Pry open her mouth, you baboon!"
I sighed and did as Isaac told. Soon, Rona gave up and opened her mouth and said. "Not tasty." I chuckled. "As if a robot can be tasty. It's all made of metal. It's tasteless and disgusting."
Isaac ignored me and asked Rona. "Rona. Why did you bite me? Do you hate me because I don't let you play with Ronald?"
I tilted my head on one side. 'Even if you don't allow it, she will still play with Ronald. Doesn't he know that?' I thought to myself. I remembered the times when Rona played with Ronald. '... Oh, right. That's because whenever Isaac wasn't looking, Rona would carefully sneak past Isaac and play with Ronald.' I looked at Rona and smirked. 'You sneaky little rat.'
Rona pointed at the little girl. "'Cause she wanted to bite you, so Rona thought TsunTsun must be yummy." Rona drooled. Isaac wiped Rona's drool from her mouth and said. "No. She was just attacking anyone who was close to her." Rona nodded. "Oh."
"Anyways, what are we going to do with her? I pity her. She's all tied up and alone." Ronald showed Isaac his puppy face.
Isaac shoved Ronald's face away and said. "It's not going to work. Besides, you completely forgot about her until Rona pointed out at her."
"But unlike you all, I didn't continue to ignore her. Hmph!" Ronald refuted.
Isaac sighed. "Did you forget what happened before this? She tried to kill all of us."
Ronald jumped. "I completely forgot about it!"
Isaac said in monotone. "Wow. How nice, you can forget things like that so easily. I am so jealous of you."
Ronald panicked and squealed. "That's not something to be jealous about. Anyways, are you sure the rope is enough? Shouldn't we use chains?"
"Nah, it's fine. Ropes should be enough." I moved closer to the little girl and poked her head. "By the way, what happened to her? Why she go all berserk on you, huh?"
"I'm not sure since I don't have the proper tools, but I think it might have something to do with the tiny hole on her neck. If you look closely, there is a tiny hole like an injection around here." Isaac said.
I squinted my eye super hard and could finally see a super tiny hole on her neck. "Wah~ That's a really tiny hole. Your eyes are really sharp to spot it so quickly."
Ronald rubbed his eyes and looked, but he couldn't see any hole. He shook his head. "I don't have super eyesight like you all."
Rona tried to, but she couldn't see the hole as well. "Rona can't see it too."
Bzzt.
Bzzt.
A blue screen with Mr. James's face appeared. "Bonjour, little bunnies. Your Papa is here once more before you all spread your devilish wings and fly away from your Papa's sweet embrace."
"How can he get more annoying each time we see him?" Isaac spitted on the ground.
"Oh, Mr. James. Thanks for telling us stories about Munchy." I thanked Mr. James.
"Oh, bunny No.1, no problem at all. But why are you thanking me for?" Mr. James smiled.
"I told Munchy all about you and how you missed Munchy. Munchy got so happy it turned over and showed its belly. Munchy even asked me to rub its belly and wouldn't let me go after that." I laughed.
Mr. James shouted. "WHAAATT? Munchy did what? Belly show? To you? But... Munchy doesn't even show its belly to Angel. But it did it for you? What in the devil did you do?"
"Nothing really? I guessed I'm just too lovable." I scratched my head bashfully. "Munchy was a really good boy. Munchy listens to me so well. When I told it to go back inside the cage, it listens obediently. I have never seen a dog as obedient as Munchy."
"Munchy... obedient? Huff... Puff..." Foam began forming in Mr. James's mouth. Mr. James's rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground. The staff besides him called out to him. "Mr. James? Mr. James?!"
Isaac gave me a thumbs up. "Congratulations. You have succeeded in killing Mr. James. Who knew it was that easy. Just a few words and that annoying cicada is dead."
"That wasn't my intention, though..." I sniffed.
"Mr. James dead? Again?" Rona asked. "Is Mr. James, a phoenix? So cool!"
"Isn't phoenix normally a woman? Mr. James is a man." Ronald asked in confusion.
"Hey, you punk! Don't kill me off so fast!" Mr. James regained consciousness and screamed at us.
Isaac clicked his tongue and mumbled. "Why doesn't that cockroach just stay dead?"
Ronald pointed at Mr. James. "More importantly, Mr. James, you lied to us. You told us that we were going to the ceremony, but we ended up separated and fighting against monsters."
Mr. James feigned ignorance and said. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"How about learning how to lie before sprouting nonsense? Even a baby can lie better than you, long nose." Isaac spat back at Mr. James.
"Grr~ Why you, bunny no.2." Mr. James waved his arms with anger.
"What? Can't handle some simple facts? Suck it up. You're an adult, not a child." Isaac said.
Mr. James heard what Isaac said and started to sulk like a little baby. "Hmph! Bully!"
I poked Isaac. "Let it go already. Aren't you being too harsh on him?"
"Harsh? He hasn't seen harsh if he can just cry from a comment like that? And he said he was an emcee? He should rethink his career choice. The way he entertained the crowd was so annoying. I wish I could pluck out his mouth." Isaac looked at us staring at him. "What? Did I say something wrong? I only spoke the truth and nothing but the truth, so why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"Oui. You'll be one hell of a famous critic in the future if you keep talking like that."
"Oh... I had never met someone like bunny no.2 before. My heart is shattered into a million pieces." Mr. James sniffed.
"If it's shattered into a million pieces, then why are you still alive. Besides that, stop the sniffing. It's annoying." Isaac shot back at Mr. James.
"I pity Mr. James now." Ronald whispered to me. I nodded, and then Rona said. "Rona thinks so, too."
Mr. James placed his hands on his chest. "Ugh... Moving on, sniff... The real ceremony is starting in an hour."
"Do we need to prepare anything?" I asked.
"Who knows. Hmph!" Mr. James continued to pout.
'Oui. Still pouting? I guess Isaac's word made him really upset.' I looked at Isaac and saw him looking down. I placed my hand on his shoulder and felt Isaac shaking all over. "Isaac. Is something wrong?" I asked in worry.
Isaac lifted his head and smiled at Mr. James. "Oh? So you have chosen death, huh?"
Rona, Ronald, and I were too scared to say anything as we stared at Isaac, who was about to lose his cool. 'Oui... Isaac looks like he could tear a person apart.' I took a glance at Mr. James. 'Hmm? Looks like Mr. James is alright. He's standing upright... Wait... His eyes are white! His eyes must have rolled back from the shock.'
Thud.
Mr. James fell backwards. The staffs who were standing next to Mr. James were screaming. "Mr. James fainted again! He peed in his pants, too!" They panicked as they were trying to help Mr. James up. The screen turned black and wrote, "Please wait a moment. The maintenance team is currently fixing the bug."
The dungeon went completely silent as we waited for Mr. James again.
