Flatter-EX

The gang encountered a person presumably sobbing while muttering words, "Mama miba..." under their breath. And to their left was an eaten cake, is it...burning? WHY IS THERE SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT WHAT-

"Mama miba! I'm Topchef! My latest cake worked me to exhaustion!" He said, spinning then crying after.
"So I took a little nap...But, Mama miba! A scary noise woke me up! A beast was hunched on the table, eating the cake like an animal!"
Sounds like Susie alright.

"I spritzed it with water, and it hissed and ran off! But, my wonderful cake is..."

"Aww, Kris, (Y/n), that sounds like Susie! We must be going the right way! Let's try to keep her out of any more trouble!" Ralsei told them, to which they both nodded in affirmation.
"M-M-Mama miba! M-M-Mama SHIBA! You know that beast!? Please don't come back..." Topchef cried once again, before spinning.

Kris approaches the remains of the smoldering cake, then takes a piece of it with him.

They continue on forward, encountering a Rudinn and a Hathy which Kris ordered (Y/n) to flirt the Hathy with him.
The girl stared at him with the aura of "Are you fucking serious?!" before obliging.
Fortunately all she did was make a heart-shape with her hands and it ultimately swept Hathy off from her feet.

Ralsei spares the enemies then the fight ended. Kris eyes another Dark Candy tree, which he grabs said candies from it. He gave one to (Y/n) and the other to Ralsei.
They both ate the candy which Ralsei notes that it tastes like marshmallows. Though, (Y/n) didn't say anything, "Looks like she enjoyed it." The fluffy boy notes.
* Ralsei's UNDERSTANDING leveled by 2!

They encounter a timed puzzle, looks easy at first glance, "Check the clock. In order to solve this puzzle, you'll have to hurry."
Makes total sense.

Kris steps on a lit tile, then two other tiles lit up. (Y/n) and Ralsei stepped on it and all three tiles lit up. Kris steps on the last one then all the spikes blocking their way is gone.
"Nice teamwork guys!!" Ralsei cheered, with (Y/n) quietly cheering behind him.

Exiting the puzzle room and continuing on forward, they're met with a sign and with Lancer's handwriting on it.
"Behold! The Maze of Death! Prepare to GET LOST, clowns!!!!
- signed, Lancer."

This...doesn't seem like a place where you'd get lost easily, though.

They continue on forward before encountering another sign left by Lancer.
"Feeling lost yet!? You must be UTTERLY HELPLESS among these twists and turns! Your sense of direction won't save you now!
- signed, Lancer."

The party then went south and then west, finding another sign left behind by the chubby kid. Kris takes one glance at it before continuing on.
He discovers a chest, once opening it he finds a tattered white ribbon.

"That ribbon is Armor, Kris! It increases defense! Why don't you try equipping it on yourself or (Y/n)? I think it'd look great on both of you!"
Kris nods at the goat boy's suggestion, approaching (Y/n) with the ribbon on his hands. She steps back a bit and he takes a step forward.

To the untrained eye, this would seem that something sinister is happening.
Kris motions her to turn around and then tying her (h/c) hair into a half up with the ribbon. After tying it, he steps back to admire it.

"...You know I can do it myself, you can just tell me to do so." Were the words written on the book, as she hides her face using it.
The quiet boy smiles as he noticed the tips of her ears going red. 

Ralsei observes the two and giggles to himself. No matter how quiet the two of them may seem, they were massive DORKS too.

It wasn't after a while before they even encounter Lancer.
"Ho ho ho! Somehow you survived the maze!"
Yeah no cap.

"But don't count your blessings before they hatch...! Let's see how you FARE against this team!" He taunted, before sweeping himself away.

Four Hathys blocked their path, to which in their reflex caused them to draw out their weapons.

Kris orders the quiet girl to his right to flirt all of the Hathys on field with him.
Aforementioned girl obliges at his command.

* Kris and (Y/n) flirted with the Hathys!

She forms a heart with her hands just before saying, "Yo-You're...all cute." with a small blush visible on her face.

* All of the Hathys fell in one swoop!
* Kris got struck with (Y/n)'s cuteness!
* (Y/n)'s CHARM is maxed!

Ralsei stares at the heart-stricken lot and (Y/n) standing in the midst of it, scared of what she has done.

When it was the Hathys turn, they just circled white hearts around the red heart.

Lancer gets on the field, interrupting the battle.
"Hey, why aren't you guys getting thrashed?! You're totally outnumbered!"

Ralsei pinches the bridge of his nose(?), sighing irritably. "You made a team purely of support enemies."
"Their bullet patterns aren't balanced at all. It's like a dinner made out of four glasses of milk."

"...And that's, um...Unusual, somehow?" Lancer pondered out loud.

"Why don't we talk about this after the battle?" Ralsei said, with passive aggressiveness lacing in his tone.

Kris gets up, and orders the goat boy and mecha girl to spare three-fourths of the Hathys.
Only a single Hathy remains, they form a white outlined heart and spun it around then stopping at a direction.

As Kris spared the last Hathy, both Ralsei and (Y/n) cheered him on.

"Great job, Kris! We earned 0 EXP and 92$ !"

Lancer comes bouncing into the scene as if it was on cue.
"Sweet! How much do I get?"

"You...lost, Lancer. You don't get anything."

"Oh. Can I have some of yours?"
The chubby boy politely asks and it somehow ticks Ralsei off.

"No!"

"Fine! Later, losers!" He waved before bouncing away.

The quiet mecha girl stares at goat boy for a few good seconds before writing something down.
"Don't be too harsh on Lancer, Ralsei."

========================================

They continue on their way and encounter another time-restricted puzzle room.

On their first try it went smoothly up until they needed another person for the fourth lit up tile.

With the other two occupied with the puzzle, (Y/n) advances forward to the next room, as she heard someone slamming something on a door.
"Ugh, open up you stupid door!"

A very recognizable voice, one that she usually hears when Susie plays on her computer and just seeing her getting trashed on an online match.

Even though she herself doesn't play games that often, actually, it took her almost 4 months or so to somewhat understand the computer.
(Y/n) still has a lot to learn though.

Feeling a pressuring stare boring holes on her back, Susie turns back to see her childhood friend, (Y/n) gazing at her intently.
"(Y/n)! Where you've been? I've been--"
She places her scaly hands on the quiet girl's shoulders, her hands meeting the cold steel that covers said part.

The emotionless knight and the fluffy mage catch up to them, since Ralsei saw her leave the room. "Oh, great. It's YOU TWO."
"Susie! We were ever so worried about you! Um, how did you get past the spikes from before?"

"Oh that? Walked right through 'em."

Susie glances back at the locked door, "But this door... is a fucking cunt."

"Aww! Don't worry, Susie! It'll be over once we solve the puzzle from the room before."

"Nice. Tell us when you two finish it."

Looks like Susie doesn't wanna cooperate at all, oh what to do...
