"Theater Troupe Actor?"
I froze as I stood before the ragged stuffed rabbit.
"… Is this really true?"
I couldn't help but ask. If ever there was a situation where the phrase "half-believing" applied, it was this one. After all, it had only been a few times since I first heard about the Theater Troupe Actor monster.
They were supposedly creating monsters all over Japan, had given that pink rabbit monster its small world, and now here stood this tattered stuffed toy? It was hard to believe.
That's why I quietly asked again.
"It's really true! I'm the Theater Troupe Actor! Well, think of this body as more like a telephone!" the stuffed rabbit exclaimed.
"… What?"
"In other words, even if you destroy this stuffed toy, I won't die! Just like how I can't kill you either! Hahaha!"
For some reason, the Theater Troupe Actor burst into a high-pitched, shrill laughter, as if something was amusing.
