Twisted Wonderland Book 5: A Beauitful Tyrant

Chapter 67: Guest Restoration

Suddenly, someone speaks up, "Well, well. What have we here?"

Everyone turns in shock to the source of the voice, and sees who's walking over to them.

Vil is just as shocked to see who is walking over to them, "You're—"

Excluding Briar and the Ramshackle group, everyone is shocked to see Briar's friend, Tsunotaro walking over to see the state the stage is.

"I thought I'd arrive a bit early, and what do I find but a stage laid to waste?" Tsunotaro says.

"Oh, hi, Tsunotaro," Briar says and walks over to him.

"TSUNOTARO?!" The boys: Ace, Deuce, Vil, Epel, Rook, Kalim, and Jamil exclaim in complete shock.

What's more, they are shocked to see Briar is being friendly with him.

"I'm glad you're able to come. You're actually two hours early before the show," Briar says.

Soon, Sereia, Tanzanite, Jasper, Grim, and Trinket walk over to see Briar and her friend.

"Briar, is that the friend you told us about?" Sereia asks.

"Yeah. Guys, this is Tsunotaro. He's the friend I told you who visits the dorm from time to time. Tsunotaro, these are my friends and roommates. Grim, Sereia, Tanzanite, Jasper, and Trinket," Briar says as she introduces them to each other.

"Hello. It's really nice to meet you," Sereia says, shyly.

"So you're the student who wanders around the Ramshackle Dorm Garden and visits Briar at niht," Tanzanite says.

"And the one who gave her the Holiday Card," Jasper says.

"We heard about you from Briar," Grim says with glee and interest, "You really do have horns growin' outta your head! Myah hah hah—" and suddenly, someone covers Grim's mouth, "MRAH!"

The one who covers Grim's mouth is Deuce, "Grim, are you nuts?! Y-you can't just talk to an upperclassman that way!"

Suddenly, Ace grabs Briar by her shoulders in a panic state, "Briar! You're really calling THIS guy Tsunotaro? Do you have a death wish?!"

"Don't ya know who this is?!" Epel asks, still in shock.

"To be honest no. I don't really know who he is," Briar says.

"How... how could you not know who he is?" Jamil asks.

Briar sighs and removes Ace's hands.

Then Briar says, "Look, he never told me his name and he said that he's okay with me giving him a nickname."

"It's better than the nickname Grim chose. He wanted her to call him Hornton," Jasper says.

"Okay, that name is a lot worse," Ace points out.

"But still, you don't know who he is, like at all?" Kalim asks.

"No. I only saw him at Ramshackle Dorm garden when he came by, and I never saw him around campus either. Then again, I suspect him to be an upperclassman which is probably the reason," Briar explains.

Surprised, Rook asks, "Roi des Dragons, how did you get into the coliseum?!"

"I was invited, by the child of man living in Ramshackle Dorm. I have my invitation right here," Tsunotaro answers

"That's not what I was asking..." Rook says. "The entire venue is still enveloped in the cursed poison mist generated by Vil's signature spell. There's no way anyone coming into contact with that curse would come out of it unscathed."
