As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"There's nothing incomplete about it."

"Are you sure you want me to accept this answer? Black Rabbit's ears are connected to the central hub of the sandbox. If you lie here, I will immediately see through it."

"Before we go on, let me say this: our match is currently interrupted due to baseless speculation, you know what I mean."

"If no problems are found, does that mean the organizers are given favorable conditions to start the competition anew?"

Sandra asked.

"Let's discuss whether or not to add new rules later."

Spotted Loli's words were an admission of Sandra's statement, and she even wanted to add other rules to the game that would benefit her side.

"I see."

Black Rabbit nodded, then closed its eyes and used its ears to connect to the central hub of the sandbox.

"I said, to what extent can we categorize a competition as incomplete?"

During the trial of Black Rabbit, Izayoi Sakamaki asked Mandela, who was standing nearby, about this question, somewhat puzzled.

"If there is anything incomplete about this competition, the first is the seal on the White Yaksha. It states that participants must participate but cannot fight. There should be a written explanation for this."

"But the only instruction we were given was to shatter the false traditions and reveal the true ones."

At this moment, Black Rabbit opened her eyes and then gave the crowd the answer from the central hub of the miniature garden:

"The Box Garden has provided an answer: there were no imperfections in this competition, and the seal on the White Demon was applied through legitimate means."

"Of course, then let's discuss the rules, and also when the competition will resume."

"When? Will it reopen in a few days?"

Sandra asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Actually, I don't really care whether it will start again in a few days. What I want to say right now is that you want to erase one of our victory conditions, right?"

Abigail looked at the spotted little girl and said.

"Although this may seem like a cowardly act, it's a normal tactic as long as we can win the game, and it's our right."

After saying that, the spotted little girl turned to look at the black rabbit and said to her:

"Now I demand that the rules be amended to remove one of the winning conditions for the contestants: 'defeat the leader of the losing team.'"

"this......"

I was very surprised by the black rabbit, and my ears kept twitching.

"How's Black Rabbit?"

After a few seconds, Black Rabbit said, somewhat dejectedly:

“The small garden agreed to their request.”

"It seems that in this game, we must find out what is a false inheritance and what is a true inheritance."

"So, the question now is about restarting the competition, the jurisdiction of the courts, and how long the restart date can be postponed."

"The longest? Well... given the current situation, it could be about a month."

"Really? Then let's do it a month from now."

However, just as the spotted loli finished speaking, Izayoi Sakamaki and Jin shouted at the same time:

"Please wait a moment!"

The two then looked at each other, and Ren continued:

"Excuse me, organizer, are these two people next to you Latine and Weser? And the giant ceramic doll that appeared in the arena is Shutrom. In that case, your name is Pest, right?"

"Pester!?"

"The Black Death?"

Sandra and Mandela, who were standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, during the cold period that began in the 14th century, the most terrible plague in human history broke out."

"That's right, what's your name?"

Pest looked at Ren with some curiosity and said.

“The Unknown Ren Russell”.

"I will remember, but it's too late. I've already allowed the pathogens to invade some of the participants' bodies, which means your lives are in my hands, and you've missed the best opportunity to win the game."

As he spoke, Pest turned to look at Abigail, who was sitting in her seat.

Chapter 290 Negotiation

"I...I want to propose to the judges that they deliberately concealed information from the game instructions! Please review this case again..."

"No way! Lady Sandra! Even if they had already spread the pathogen before the game was interrupted, the organizers still don't need to take responsibility for explaining. The review will only give them more reason to force us to accept more favorable terms...!"

Sandra swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Pest, with a calm smile, watched Sandra's remorseful expression and then asked the participants a question:

"Can we assume that the people present are the main force of the participants?"

"......"

“Master, I believe this conclusion is correct.”

Weser answered on behalf of the silent participants.

"Well then, I have a proposal, everyone. If the members present and the White Demon are willing to join the ranks of our Fantasy Magic Tome Group, Hameln, we can spare the other communities!"

"what!"

"I've taken a liking to you two. After all, Sandra is adorable, and Ren is smart. Plus, there's an unexpected bonus here."

"Master, the girl in the red dress I caught is also amazing!"

When La Ting said this in a flattering tone, the faces of the nameless members all changed.

"Then let's include that girl in the calculations, and the game can be considered over. Since we can exchange the lives of all participants, it should be a very cheap price to pay, right?"

Pest smiled and tilted her head cutely.

However, the smile concealed the exact opposite meaning.

The girl had just announced with a smile, "If you refuse to obey, you will kill everyone."

This chillingly beautiful, childlike smile left the group bewildered.

However, Izayoi Sakamaki and Jin remained calm as they analyzed the situation.

"...This is information from Lord White Demon. Is your Fantasy Magic Tome Group Hameln a newly formed community?"

I have no obligation to answer.

Pest responded immediately, but this seemed rather unnatural.

Izayoi Sakamaki immediately realized this and continued her pursuit.

"I see. That's why a newly emerging community is so eager for outstanding talent."

"......"

"Hey, if we stay silent at a time like this, we'll take it as a yes or no. Is that alright, Demon Lord?"

Having found an opening, Izayoi Sakamaki revealed a provocative smile. Pest's smile vanished, and she frowned, glaring at Izayoi.

"So what? That doesn't give us a reason to back down."

"No, it's a reason. Because you want to acquire talent like us without any casualties. If we leave the participants unattended for a month, we'll all die... Right, Sandra?"

"Huh? Ah... um."

The topic suddenly shifted to herself, prompting Sandra to reflexively respond casually.

Although she later frantically tried to correct it, Ren didn't listen to her and continued to state:

“That’s right. If they die, we can’t acquire talent, which is why you chose this time to make negotiations. Because you can’t bear to lose those outstanding talents who will actually die in thirty days.”

Ren said with absolute certainty. Although it was only for this one time, Ren had absolute confidence in his answer.

Even so, Pest remained unconvinced and responded:

"I'll say it again, so what? We have the right to decide when to restart. Even if it's not a month... twenty days, as long as we start the game again after twenty days, we can bring back the talent who died before..."

"Then we will kill all participants who show symptoms."

Everyone was startled and turned to look at Mandela. His eyes were very serious.

"There are no exceptions, whether it's Sandra, the Garden Nobles, or even myself. Among Salamander's comrades, the rulers of the hierarchy, there are no weaklings who would surrender to the Demon King!"

Everyone was speechless. Even if it was just bluffing, it was still an overly radical declaration.

However, Izayoi Sakamaki had a flash of inspiration and found the next step in Mandela's speech.

"Black Rabbit, is it still possible to change the rules now?"

"Huh... Ah, YES!"

The black rabbit seemed to sense something and forcefully straightened its ears.

"Come and negotiate, Black Death Demon King. We're willing to add a rule prohibiting suicide or killing of comrades to the rules. So we'll resume in three days."

"No, two weeks."

The other party immediately refused, but two weeks was still too long.

Taking into account the time needed to solve the mystery, the ideal interval is within a week. Izayoi Sakamaki looked around for materials he could use for negotiation when his eyes met those of Black Rabbit.

"In the current game, what is your role, Black Rabbit?"

"Although they are a participant in the Grand Festival, they are currently serving as a referee and therefore cannot participate in the game for fifteen days... If the organizers grant permission, then that's a different story."

"Alright, this is it! Demon Lord, Black Rabbit isn't a participant, so you can't recruit her through the game. However, if you make Black Rabbit a participant, you'll have a chance to acquire her. How about this offer?"

"...Ten days, no more concessions allowed."

"Wait... wait a minute, Master! We cannot grant permission for the Garden of Little Garden nobles to participate in the war...!"
