Chapter 33

—
I wanted to help Dietrich with all my heart.
I wanted to guide him to sew with a needle and thread, to rescue the thread and needle being sucked into the floor.
But I couldn’t get involved in the game, so I could only watch him with a sigh.
Dietrich clenched his fist.
Whether to call it lucky or unlucky…
A needle had pricked his palm. Blood oozed from the puncture.
One needle was saved.
But what could he do with that alone?
He needed the thread to sew the teddy bears.
—Hehe, keheheh, let’s playyyy, kekeke.
With the stuffed toys stuck to his body, he leaped over to the opposite bookshelf, still holding the teddy bears.
“Ha….”
Dietrich, who let out a low sigh, removed the stuffed toy from his side and quickly took off his shirt.
Pluck, pluck.
He roughly pulled open the shirt without unclasping the buttons.
Then, he grabbed the tangled thread of the torn clothes, the same thread I had pointed out earlier.
Riiiip—
The thread was pulled out long.
He cut the thread with his teeth and inserted it into the needle’s eye.
Wow, that’s the right answer, Dietrich.
As I watched him sew the fallen stuffed animal’s arm, the speed at which the swamp was engulfing the room gradually slowed down.
I approached Dietrich, who was sewing the teddy bear with determination.
“If you had lost the needle as well, it could have been dangerous.”
After all, even if he could get some thread from the clothes on his back, where would he be able to get another needle?
“Anyway, I’m glad you found it. But I see you’re good at sewing, aren’t you?”
“If you live as a temple servant, it’s a basic skill. I always needed to mend my own clothes.”
I see. But it would still be a bit bothersome to have to sew outer clothes though.
As it was something I myself had little skill in, I wonder if that’s why I was suddenly nosy about his ability to sew.
—Keheheh!
At that moment, a teddy bear raised its club-like foot and hit Dietrich.
“Stay still… Ugh.”
The struggling teddy now hit Dietrich’s cheek this time, as if seeking revenge for being separated a moment ago.
“Just, stay still.”
Dietrich grabbed the waist of the squirming stuffed toy.
—Keheh… My arm, it’s fine now…
When Dietrich finished sewing the teddy bear’s arm, the swirling force stopped.
The floor expelled all the furniture it had sucked in.
Books, the apples I brought, the crumpled basket… The study was instantly thrown into disarray.
“…Is it over?”
As a moment of relief crossed his face, a small cotton stump tapped Dietrich’s thigh.
With a look of tension, Dietrich stared at the teddy bear.
It opened its mouth and handed something sparkling from within its body to Dietrich.
As soon as the dazed Dietrich received the item, a system window appeared before him.
[ Dietrich has obtained a ‘Crushed Shard’. ]
Was this the third one now?
‘He’s collected almost all of them now.’
Just two more to go, and he’d have a complete ‘fragment’ he could use to advance to the next floor.
The remaining two crushed shards were held by the first floor’s boss.
The teddy bear continued to rummage through its pockets without giving up, not leaving.
I subtly leaned towards Dietrich, watching the stuffed animal handing something to him.
[ You are invited to the Doll Café.
Invite, invite.
Come on in, come on in.
Hehe. ]
“Doll Café?”
Dietrich received the card, looking at me as if asking what to do.
Why are you looking at me though?
I shrugged—a joking sign for him to figure it out on his own.
When the teddy bear looked at Dietrich with a puzzled expression, he turned to me again, with the same look as before.
Why do you keep looking at me, huh?
“Thank you, but… I’m too busy.”
—……!
—……!
—……!
When Dietrich declined with difficulty, the teddy bears gathered around, looking at each other in confusion.
The teddy bear extended a card towards Dietrich and pointed to some lines.
[ Come on in, come on in.
Hehe. ]
Dietrich, struggling to refuse, furrowed his brow and finally spoke.
“I have work to do.”
—……!
—……!
—……!
The teddy bears exchanged glances and then thumped the floor, looking quite dejected.
Were they really crying right now?
Dietrich seemed even more flustered, and I smiled as I watched him.
“How about going just once when they’re asking so earnestly?”
