Chapter 83: Kurt, Joe, and Mansion Fun

Daykona continues to watch over what’s going on in the Mansion.

Daykona sits in front of her crystal ball.

“The undetected intruder is Udana,” Daykona says. “So, Kogen, you want to get back at me? Well, too bad. My minions are already after her! Hehehehe!”

Elsewhere in the mansion.

Kurt and Joe are now deep within the mansion. They find themselves in a dining room, standing before a door with no doorknob.

“Why does this door have no knob?” Kurt asks.

“Does it matter?” Joe replies. “It’s just a door.”

Joe tries to open the door, but it won’t budge. “There’s no lock or anything, so what gives?”

“Wait,” Kurt says. “I can see the outline of a knob. It looks like there was one here, but now it’s gone. We need it, or the door won’t open, which is probably due to a magic seal.”

“We better find it,” Joe says. “Jeez, this sucks.”

They go through a different door and enter the next room, searching around carefully. Eventually, they find a safe. As they attempt to open it, the safe suddenly vanishes, leaving only an outline behind.

“I bet you the knob was in there,” Kurt says.

“We could just be getting messed with, and there was nothing really in there,” Joe replies.

They hear a noise, and an opening suddenly appears in the wall. A sign above it reads, “I like messing with people.”

“Someone is definitely listening to us,” Joe says.

“And we probably have to go in there to get the knob,” Kurt adds.

“But it’s probably a trap.”

“We have no other options.”

The sign text changes to “Kurt’s right.”

“…Fine,” Joe says, facepalming as he becomes annoyed.

They step into the opening, and suddenly find themselves sliding downward at high speed.

“What is thissssss?!!” Joe shouts.

“I don’t knowwww!!” Kurt yells back.

Eventually, they land in a very long hallway with no doors.

Kurt breathes heavily as he says, “Well, at least it’s over.”

A rumbling sound echoes through the hallway. They look toward one end of the hallway and see a massive, ball-shaped boulder rolling toward them. It’s as wide and as tall as the hallway itself.

Kurt and Joe stare in terror before turning and sprinting toward the opposite end of the hallway.

“I told you we shouldn’t have gone in!!!” Joe shouts.

“We still had no other choice!!!” Kurt yells back.

“I’m sure we could have thought of something!!!”

As they run, a floating sign appears in front of them, moving at the same speed. It reads, “Isn’t this fun?”

“Hell no!!!” Joe screams.

They reach an exit just in time, diving through as the boulder crashes into the doorway and stops.

Joe and Kurt slow to a stop, bending over to catch their breath. Another sign appears. It reads, “Do you want to meet the Troll Queen?”

“If it means we can get the doorknob and get out of here, then yes,” Kurt says.

“The Troll Queen, huh?” Joe mutters before turning his head toward Kurt to ask, “Should we expect some kind of ogre monster?”

“Nothing would surprise me in this mansion…” Kurt replies.

They enter a massive room that is aesthetically similar to an attic. At the far end stands a giant dollhouse.

“Whoa…” Kurt and Joe say in unison.

Someone is out to have fun by making Kurt and Joe miserable! Will they be able to get the doorknob from the Troll Queen?!
