A rare magical miracle in the world

"Not long after, terrible Sea Beasts began to appear on the ocean, and their numbers increased."

"At that time, people didn’t understand and thought Sea Beasts could be eaten, but those who ate the flesh of Sea Beasts each fell sick, suffering from diarrhea, fever..."

The old man said, "The place I came from before experienced a strange epidemic. Although it didn’t cause a major disaster, and not many died, the source of the calamity was found."

"Fish?"

"Not just fish," the old man said, "All kinds of seafood seemed to carry something eerie within."

"The sea is being polluted by some force," the old man lifted his head, his white eyes ’seeing’ the adventurers present, making their skin crawl, "A new disaster is about to come upon this sea area."

"Master, Miss, dinner is ready."

In a western-style house as grand as a palace, a maid pushed a cart and placed today’s dinner on the dining table.

It was a long table, with a gentleman dressed as a noble on one side and a blond girl, delicate and cute like a doll, on the other.

The maid’s hands trembled slightly.

There was no helping it, the two individuals before her in Hiruen were too terrifying in rumor.

"My dear Emily, this is the birthday present Daddy has given you."

The gentleman was the head of one of Hiruen’s six great families, the family leader of the Skelot Family, Agate Skelgot.

And the girl, the pearl in the palm of the Skelot Family, his only daughter, Emily.

"What is it, what is it?"

The blond loli opened the box, revealing an incredibly ornate doll.

"Wow~~~"

"So beautiful!!"

The blond loli lifted the doll out; it had silver hair and eyes as Brilliant as gemstones.

The girl’s hand brushed the doll’s cheek, its elasticity almost like that of a real person.

The limbs too, it was as if a living girl had been turned into a doll, so lifelike.

"Beautiful, isn’t it?"

The gentleman said, "This is a gift Daddy bought from the Lord of the Birch Trees, guess, what materials were used?"

"I know, I know!"

Emily began to list eagerly, "This silver hair, it’s from that sister, these eyes are from another sister, Emily knows them well, and then there’s the doll’s skin, just like Sister Fila’s..."

"Ah, my Emily is so clever, that’s right, these are all treasures Daddy has collected for you."

Listening to the father and daughter, the maid standing by shuddered in fear.

She had heard that the Skelot family’s head was a madman, who liked to buy beautiful girls, not for pleasuring with their bodies, but purely, for their body parts.

Beautiful eyes, gorgeous silver hair, skin as soft as silk, a small and delicate tongue...

"Monet, there is no need to be afraid."

Agate said with a smile, "There is nothing on your body that my Emily desires, so you can be at ease, you are safe for now."

"Yes, yes..."

Monet was so scared she almost cried.

It wasn’t safety, but temporary safety.

Agate was hinting to Monet that if one day she had something they desired, she could become the next victim at any time.

"Daddy!"

Suddenly, Emily dragged the doll up to Agate, "The doll is missing something, she cannot talk, how can we make her talk?"

"Don’t worry, my little darling."

The man picked up Emily, seated the lovely girl on his lap, and stroked her golden hair, "Daddy has already found her, a girl with the voice of an angel. Once we have her, you will have a doll friend who can talk to you and play with you."

"Good, good."

Emily clapped her hands, "Thank you, Daddy, you are the best! Emily loves Daddy the most!"

"By the way, Daddy."

After speaking, Emily asked, "How is the voice taken out? Like last time, when you dug out that sister’s eyes?"

"Look, Daddy!"

Emily lifted the doll, "This is the eye Emily dug out. Did I do it well? Let Emily do it this time, too!"

"Of course."

Agate lifted the girl high up, "My little darling, you are the best!"

Standing by, Monet heard the father and daughter’s words and almost fainted from fear, but unbeknownst to her, the doll in Emily’s hands was turning its own head, staring piercingly at Monet. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Click!"

The doll’s mouth opened slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
