In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

Eriri felt nauseous right after riding the giant swing ride. She went to the bathroom and dry-heaved for a while without vomiting anything, but she was still nauseous for quite some time.

Having learned from such a mistake, she felt it was essential to use the restroom before actually going to the haunted house.

Just in case, let's get some insurance...

Rikka urged her, "Hurry up, Eriri, it'll be our turn soon."

Eriri simply responded softly.

She had a vague feeling that Rikka had been brewing a plan against her from the very beginning, but she had no evidence.

"Qianye, over here, over here..."

"what happened?"

As Eriri walked away, Rikka furtively pulled Chiya aside to whisper something.

Eriri is actually very afraid of haunted houses.

“I can see it, it’s quite obvious.”

"Right, right, but she has a strong personality and is too embarrassed to say she's scared, so she can only force herself to go in with us."

What are you trying to say?

"After you go in, please take good care of her."

Gen Chiya looked at Rikka strangely: "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"Yeah! I'm a little scared myself, so I guess I'll just have to take care of myself. Yukino is probably in a similar situation. I'm not that close to Haruno-nee, so I can only ask you for help."

Rikka thought she was really smart. Her little brain, which wasn't very good at studying, was really useful in this situation. Her explanation was flawless!

"What a touching friendship." Gen Chiya patted Rikka's head with a half-smile.

"So, Qianye, you're agreeing?"

Eriri, who had already reached the bathroom door, turned back.

"Eri, you're all better so quickly!" Rikka seemed quite surprised.

It was only about two minutes; if it were her, she probably wouldn't have even taken off her panties yet.

“No, no…” Eriri stammered.

The bathroom attached to the haunted house was also quite terrifying. I don't know if it was due to years of disrepair or intentional, but the dim lighting flickered, and the escape signs glowed green...

Too many gruesome scenes from horror movies—where supporting characters are murdered while alone in the bathroom—replayed in her mind, making her too afraid to go in alone.

Senya saw something from Eriri's reaction and withdrew his hand from Rikka's head: "I agree."

"Thank you!"

The next moment, Rikka took the initiative to stand in front of Eriri. After listening to what she said, the two walked towards the bathroom together.

On the way, Eriri asked curiously, "You just thanked Chiya specifically. What were you two talking about?"

Rikka???: "It's nothing, but I'm really envious that you have such a good friend like me."

Eriri was speechless: "You've really had enough..."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Eriri and Rikka returned from the bathroom.

It was their turn.

They entered together from the entrance.

The corridor gradually became dark and gloomy, and the facial expressions of the companions around him were not very clear. Only their general body outlines could be vaguely discerned.

When vision is obstructed, inner fears are amplified.

To dispel her fear and also to encourage herself, Eriri chuckled dryly, "Once you're actually inside, it doesn't seem like such a big deal."

"Eri-chan, this is only the beginning. Things will probably be different later on." You could clearly feel the smile in Haruno's voice as she replied.

But she was clearly much more relaxed and natural with Eriri, who was all bark and no bite.

"Wow, fog is starting to rise from the ground!" Rikka exclaimed, looking down.

"It must be an effect created using dry ice or something similar." So far, Yukino felt it was alright, and she even had the energy to provide an answer.

"Yukino is amazing, she even knows something like this."

"This is very basic knowledge; it's taught in textbooks."

As they continued talking, Eriri's fear subsided considerably.

She felt that if she stayed the way she was, she could safely reach the end.

But this idea was quickly shattered.

A fork in the road appeared before them.

On the broken wooden sign in the very center, written in what appears to be some kind of fluorescent substance, is the message: “Two-way passage, concerted efforts, only then can we escape danger.”

The situation was quite clear: here, the group split into two teams and advanced.

Eriri trembled as she reached out to her side, only to find nothing there.

Rikka had somehow run up to the Yukinoshita sisters, linking arms with one of them: "Yukino, Haruno-nee, let's go to the left together."

She didn't think too much about it, nor did she care whether it felt natural or not, and made the suggestion directly.

Wait, don't leave me alone!

Eriri was too flustered to realize the perfect opportunity her friend had created, and was only focused on getting closer to the girls.

But Rikka didn't give her that chance: "Eriri, you go with my brother on the right side, otherwise he'll feel pitiful all by himself."

Eriri paused as she walked over, only realizing what she meant when she heard what she said.

In the dim light, Yang smiled and glanced at her younger sister.

Yukino was looking at Chiya, remaining silent without much reaction.

At this moment, Yuan Qianye spoke up: "What do you mean?"

"Let's do as Rikka says. It's also a good opportunity to see which side can get out faster." Haruno could tell that Rikka was doing this on purpose, but she didn't mind pretending not to know and going along with Rikka's wishes.

After all, in Eriri's eyes, although she is cute, given her arrogant personality, she is not threatening in the slightest.

"Where's Eriri?" Minamoto Chiya turned his head to look at Eriri.

Eriri suddenly clenched her thighs together in the dim light: "I-I'm fine."

"Alright then, let's all set off together," Yukino finally decided.

Everyone parted ways at the fork in the road.

Chiya and Eriri walked towards the entrance to the road on the right.

The further you go in, the lower the temperature gets.

It's not a psychological reason, but rather that the air conditioning is really on full blast.

Soon, the two followed the corridor to a room.

The room's lights were working properly, but you could see various rusty surgical instruments scattered all over the floor, and mottled bloodstains were spread everywhere. The human-shaped brown stains on the hospital bed had replaced the original pure white, and everything seemed so eerie.

Yuan Qianye arrived at the center of the room and looked around.

Eriri followed closely behind him like a submissive wife, forcing a forced laugh as she spoke, "It really is as Rikka said, not that scary at all!"

This statement carries a strong sense of urgency.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door that the two of them had just walked through slammed shut!

"Alas!"

Eriri scurried to Chiya's side like a startled rabbit!

Then the white light inside the room suddenly turned into a bloody dark red!

Then came the eerie whispers, followed by the dull thud of some heavy metal object dragging on the ground, growing ever closer.

The overall feeling is that the pace is quite fast!

"ah!"

Eriri finally revealed her cowardly nature and could no longer hold on. She let out a scream and hugged his arm tightly.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Qianye wanted to laugh and offered some words of comfort, but the situation inside the haunted house didn't give him that time.

Indeed, there are still so many customers queuing up, so the staff's thought is definitely to speed up the process as much as possible.

"boom!"

The "wall" was suddenly pierced, and a bloody hand holding a "head" was thrown in, rolling down to Eriri's feet.

"—!"

Eriri didn't cry out this time. Her pupils dilated in shock, and she jumped up as if her feet were electrified. She hugged Minamoto Chiya's neck tightly with both hands, wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, and curled her whole body into a small ball, trembling uncontrollably.

In the instant the accident happened, she didn't think too much; her body reacted instinctively!

"Eri, it's too tight, too tight..." Minamoto Chiyo patted Eriri's arm. She suddenly grabbed his neck with great force in her fright, and he had a little trouble breathing.

"Run! Run!" Eriri buried her head in his chest, not daring to open her eyes, and naturally didn't hear what Minamoto Chiyo was saying.

With no other option, Yuan Qianye could only use one hand to forcefully pry her arm open a little, and with the other hand, he supported her little bottom and quickly retreated out of the room.

"Okay, okay, it's all over now."

Back in the corridor, with the "crisis" temporarily over, Gen Chiya gently patted Eriri's back and comforted her with kind words.

Eriri calmed down a bit and realized her embarrassing behavior. Her face turned red and she was about to get down when...

Suddenly, a hanging ghost with a long, blood-red tongue hanged down from the ceiling!

And just in time, he had a face-to-face interaction with Eriri, who had just opened her eyes!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The next moment, Yuan Qianye's face twisted in pain.

It wasn't that I was scared, but rather that I was stunned by Eriri's soprano voice, which could almost lift the roof off!
