Everyone returned to the open space of the garden, and the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful.
Or maybe the word "strange" describes it better.
Only Tiffany lifted her head with a satisfied expression on her face.
“Damn it…”
Shirley thought this silently, not daring to say it out loud.
After all, the chilling pleasure seemed not to have completely faded away by now.
She felt very uncomfortable, whether standing or sitting.
“What’s the next activity, little one?”
After waiting for a moment and noticing that no one else was speaking, Tiffany impatiently asked Zola.
“Ah? Oh…”
Tiffany pulled Zola back from her confused thoughts, but it was clear that even this little fairy had not fully regained her normal state.
She simply ignored the fact that Tiffany called her “little” and started explaining.
“In the next activity, we will form pairs. One person on the team will lose all their senses and can only receive information from their teammate, while the teammate can only give orders but cannot participate directly.”
In the end, Zola seemed to be gradually regaining her usual energy, becoming confident again, and the rules she mentioned were quite clear.
“In other words, it’s a game that tests the coordination between team members?” Shirley analyzed.
It was evident that the game chosen by Zola also used rules quite advantageous to her since Zola and Zoe were twin sisters, and Shirley definitely didn’t believe they didn’t have some kind of telepathic connection.
“Eh? But there are nine of us, how do we divide that?” Tiffany suddenly asked.
According to the rules Zola explained, one person would have to be left out.
“Hmph!” Zola, with her arms crossed and full of confidence, replied, “Do you think I didn’t think of that? In this game, you can’t participate!”
“Why not? That’s so unfair!”
Tiffany naturally protested strongly against this.
To be honest, she didn’t mind being the older sister.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
As long as she had fun.
“Hahaha.” Zola laughed proudly. “Do you still think anyone would want to team up with you? If you can find a partner, I’ll let you participate in the game, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Tiffany looked around, and whenever she looked at someone, they quickly looked away, or looked to the side, avoiding eye contact with her.
“I can’t just stand here watching, this is a test to be the older sister, how will I show my skill like this?” Tiffany was still reluctant.
Her “skill” was already strong enough, Shirley silently complained in her heart.
“Who said you have to just watch?” Zola continued. “You can be the referee.”
“Ah, you only explained how we’ll form the teams, you haven’t said the details of the activity yet!” Shirley said after reacting.
“Don’t rush.” Zola cleared her throat. “Now, we need a maze with a complex terrain, the more complex, the better. It should have various traps and, somewhere, a treasure. Only the commander can see the treasure, and the person without senses must find the treasure under the commander’s guidance. The first to find the treasure wins.”
“Tiffany will stay up high to monitor everything and will be able to alter the maze’s paths.”
After saying many words at once, Zola looked around with a dry mouth, then flew over to the teacup and licked the vanilla tea inside.
“So, let’s form the teams now!” After quenching her thirst, Zola gave the order, and everyone began the process of forming teams.
Zola and Zoe, the twins, obviously formed a team.
Then, Shirley and Karina looked at each other, and since they were clearly partners, they formed a team.
As for the remaining four, although they didn’t know each other well, it wasn’t difficult to form teams.
“Blub blub blub!” Norma was blowing bubbles while waving her hands.
“Blub blub blub, blub blub.” She tapped her chest.
“Blub blub, blub blub, blub blub! Blub!” In the end, she confirmed with a nod and opened her eyes.
“So, let’s form a team?” Rosamund asked Sylvia.
Sylvia nodded.
Between the mermaid that no one understood, the completely inattentive dryad princess, and Rosamund, who communicated normally, the answer was obvious.
As for how Norma and Nicole would work together, that wasn’t her concern.
Thus, Rosamund and Sylvia formed a team.
Norma, in turn, with a dejected look, looked at Nicole, who had a naive expression, and slowly rolled her water bubble towards her.
“Hello.”
Hearing Nicole greet her, Norma released a few bubbles and said nothing more.
After forming the teams, the next issue was the location.
“I can use the garden at my house, if I manipulate it, it should work.” Shirley offered.
On the surface, she seemed completely normal, as if wearing a mask.
And what did she think inside?
Hmph, this is my territory, the garden is under my control, and when we enter… Hmph…
“Great, then that’s how we’ll do it!” Zola accepted without hesitation.
The others couldn’t find a maze in a place completely unknown to them, so they had no reason to refuse.
And as for the balance and fairness of the game?
Hehe.
Judging by Tiffany’s performance in the first game, these two concepts no longer existed.
Under Shirley’s leadership, the group quickly arrived at the front of the castle, that is, the outskirts of the garden.
Shirley was the first to advance, and the garden plants swayed as if greeting their master.
By gently touching a small flower, the garden underwent a radical transformation.
The central path that was in the middle disappeared, giving way to four narrow and invisible paths, a series of complicated corridors, and fruits from plants that exploded upon touch…
A not very large, but extremely complex maze was created simply.
“Tiffany, you’ll stay up high monitoring the situation. Oh, Shirley, can you allow Tiffany to temporarily control the garden?” Zola asked.
“Sure.” Shirley said very generously.
So what if I let you control? The authority might be greater than mine?
“Then it’s decided!” Seeming satisfied with her arrangements, Zola clapped her hands. “Let’s prepare and start!”
