"Su Yuan, who allowed you to use that kind of tone when speaking to me, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung?"
"Fischl" cast a cold gaze at Su Yuan, then suddenly kicked him to the ground…
Seeing "Fischl" fall into eerie corruption, Su Yuan realized he had been careless…
Fischl had been speaking in a normal tone all this time, which made him let his guard down and unconsciously speak in the same way…
Just then, Aether and Oz rushed back.
Aether spoke anxiously:
"Su Yuan, what happened? Why did Oz suddenly fall out of the eerie state just now?"
Su Yuan and the others present were all equally confused, unable to make sense of what had just occurred…
Why was it that when "Fischl" had accidentally entered the eerie state, Oz suddenly reverted to normal?
At that moment, Oz quickly moved to Su Yuan and "Fischl's" side, and said to "Fischl":
"My lady, Su Yuan did not mean to disrespect you. For the sake of our friendship, please forgive his offense this time!"
But the next moment, "Fischl" grabbed Oz by the throat, her voice filled with venom:
"Oz… Not only do you refuse to help me punish those who dared offend the dignity of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, but you even speak on their behalf???"
"Oz… Didn't I already warn you before?"
"Last time, I forgave you only because of your unwavering loyalty to me…"
"But… there will never be a second chance!!!"
As she spoke, "Fischl" tightened her grip, about to snap Oz's neck!
At that critical moment, a weak voice suddenly rang out:
"Amy… it's about time… come home for dinner…"
The voice belonged to Fischl's father.
After the medical staff's emergency treatment, he had successfully regained consciousness!
Upon hearing his voice, the eerie energy surrounding Fischl instantly dispersed, returning her to normal.
She murmured, dazed:
"Dad? You're okay… that's such a relief…"
Fischl immediately loosened her grip, looking around in confusion before speaking:
"Oz? Su Yuan? Traveler? Wha… what on earth is going on here?"
Su Yuan and the others were overjoyed at the sight—sure enough, upon hearing her parents' call, Fischl had successfully broken free from the eerie state!
But their joy didn't last long, as something unexpected happened again!
Suddenly, an eerie aura surged from "Oz," and he snarled viciously:
"You despicable mortals—who gave you permission to treat the noble Prinzessin der Verurteilung this way?"
Seeing this, Su Yuan fell into thought.
What did this mean?
Earlier, when Fischl had fallen into the eerie state, the corrupted Oz had returned to normal…
And now that Fischl had returned to normal, Oz had once again fallen into eerie state?
To test his suspicion, Su Yuan deliberately said to Fischl:
"Fischl, you chuunibyou, daydreaming girl—do you really think you're some kind of Prinzessin der Verurteilung?"
The moment those mocking words left his mouth, Fischl's expression instantly turned cold.
A wave of eerie energy spread from her as she snarled:
"Su Yuan, what do you mean by that? Are you denying my identity as the Prinzessin der Verurteilung?"
At the same time, Aether clearly noticed something—because the instant Fischl slipped back into eerie state, Oz beside her returned to normal…
Quickly, Aether turned to Fischl's father and urged:
"Sir, hurry—call Fischl home for dinner again!"
Still lying weakly on the stretcher, not fully understanding what was happening, Fischl's father nonetheless forced himself to speak with difficulty:
"Amy, come home for dinner…"
And the outcome was just as expected—Fischl once again broke free from the eerie state, while "Oz" on the side fell back into eerie state instead…
To prevent the Eerie Fischl or Oz from hurting anyone, everyone present could only keep repeating this process, watching the state of eerie bounce back and forth endlessly between Fischl and Oz…
"Fischl, you're not the Prinzessin der Verurteilung at all!"
"Amy, come home for dinner…"
"Fischl, you good-for-nothing, chuunibyou girl!"
"Amy, come home for dinner…"
"Fischl, without Oz, you're nothing!"
"Amy, come home for dinner…"
The others were doing everything they could to maintain this fragile balance, while Su Yuan and Aether were deep in thought, discussing the situation.
"The situation is already very clear now…" Su Yuan began.
"The very first one to fall under eerie state was Fischl. But when her parents called her to come home for dinner as she descended the mountain, that lifted the condition for her eerie state. Then it seems Oz's corruption is in some kind of complementary relationship with hers—once Fischl breaks free from eerie state, Oz falls into it; when Fischl is corrupted, Oz returns to normal."
"But the key issue now is, how do we deal with Fischl and Oz's alternating eerie problem?" Aether said with concern.
"We can't just keep having people talk like this forever, letting the eerie bounce back and forth between them."
"Not to mention, Fischl's father is gravely injured—he probably won't be able to hold on much longer…"
Su Yuan felt a heaviness in his chest.
From what he could see of Oz's eerie trigger, if Fischl had never been corrupted in the first place, the two might have coexisted peacefully.
But now that Fischl's eerie had already been awakened, it meant that between Fischl and Oz, one of them would always have to remain in a eerie state…
In other words, unless they could discover the condition for lifting Oz's eerie, they would inevitably have to make a cruel choice—sacrifice one companion in order to save the other.
Looking at Fischl's father, who was growing weaker and weaker, Su Yuan didn't know what to say.
Fischl's mother still hadn't regained consciousness and couldn't take over the role of calling her back.
Who knew how much longer her father could hold on…
Just as Su Yuan was lost in these thoughts, a medic walked up to Fischl's father and said, "Excuse me, let me check his condition."
But not long after the medic left, Fischl's father suddenly began coughing up blood, his body convulsing.
Within moments, his life had slipped away—he died on the spot.
