Chapter 6: Last Surprise

===================================
🎵 (Yuu)'ll never see it coming~ You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes! You're done in~ by the time it's hit you, your last surprise~!🎵
===================================

I yawn, waking up to the early morning rays of light.

And the fact that Grim's screams and the ghost's laughter can be heard coming from the living room. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

"Hello there again, new face... You consider becoming a ghost with us yet? Hee hee hee..."

"Hee hee hee..."

"Hee hee hee..."

"I'm never becoming a ghost! No way!!! I swear I'll drive all of you outta here someday!"

I rub my eyes, going downstairs to check on them. "Don't worry Grim, remember what I said last night: If you don't hurt them, they won't hurt you!"

"Oh, good morning, Yuu! Come down and eat your breakfast! Grim just finished his!"

"Oh, thank you.... (Yawn) Don't tease him too much, okay...?"

"Okie-dokie!"

"Henchman!!!"

"Alrighty, what's on today's quota..." I look at my phone with Grim looking as well while he hangs over my shoulder, checking a text I received from Crowley while we were at the mines fighting the monster yesterday.

Dire Crowley

<[Hello, Ms. Yuu! I've fixed up the electricity in your dorm for communication purposes! As for your next task tomorrow, you will have to deliver some things to one dorm and to some parts of the school! I'm sure you'll find this job quite easy! Good luck and best of wishes tomorrow! 🤗]
seen today - sent yesterday

"So, delivery, huh? This should be easy!" Grim cheered. "We'll be able to do this in a breeze, henchman!"

"We'll have to make trips to the dorms... We should ask a ghost where the packages are."

We walk to the nearest ghost and they guide us to the direction of the packages. "Wow, some of these  sure are big... I don't think we could carry them all."

"Henchman, I wouldn't even be able to carry them at all!"

"Oh, right. Well, let's just make trips back and forth. And as for you..."

"...??? Why are you making that face...? Wait, is that a baby carrier? Hey, what are you doing?!?! WA-" I snatch Grim up, place him in the carrier, and attach it to my chest. "There we go! Now, to the Hall of Mirrors!"

The first stop was Heartslabyul, the only dorm we have to go to, according to Mr. Crowley's message. "Hey, it's the dorm Ace and Deuce are in!" Grim remarks as I hold up the postcard. "Oh, you're right. Say, why don't we give them a little visit?"

Picking up the packages, I make my way over to the mirror (assumedly portal) decorated with roses and playing cards, going through it.

We were met with a manor in red and white, with roses everywhere in bushes, the trees and in arcs overhead. There was also a water pond in front of the dorm itself.

"Woah! This is fancy!" Grim remarked in awe, gazing at the sight before us. "This place looks completely  different from our rundown dorm!" "Well, our dorm is a work in progress..."
