As the Beast leaps towards Klara Katyusha tried to push Klara away from danger but it may seem that she doesn't need help for she pushed Katyusha away as she evaded the attack and threw the beast away by hitting its chest with a super human strength. The beast's body was slammed on the wall where it landed on the floor, after taking such damage on its body, the beast fainted.
Klara stopped Katyusha from inspecting its body "It's too dangerous" Klara whispered while holding Katyusha's wrist "Let's just get out of here while there's still time." Klara added as she slowly moved towards the door bringing Katyusha with her. The whole place suddenly went darker as a sign that the sun slowly sinks into the horizon.
As they went outside the room they were attacked by another beast but this time it leaped towards Katyusha. Klara grabbed one of its arm and threw the beast away but it landed safely as it prepared for another attack. Klara then drew a sword out of thin air as she prepared for the attack, the beast leaps for the second time but this time Klara sliced the beast into half using the sword she held suprisingly the beast have not shed a single blood but instead it slowly faded from existence "It seems that there are only hostile creature in this household" Klara said as she looked around. "H-how can I go back?"Katyusha asked but Klara shrugged showing that she didn't know the answer.
They went silent as they pass through the hallway with Klara in front of Katyusha, they walked quietly on the hallway with caution as they knew the dangers that are lurking in the corner. As they passed through the guest's hall, They've heard a loud sudden sound that echoed as if it came from outside, it sounded like a cannon that was just freshly fired "It can't be" Klara said as if she was surprised "it can't be what?" Katyusha confusedly asked but instead of answering her question Klara instructed Katyusha to be extra careful for they may face their demise while Klara was summoning a marionette, Katyusha was amazed of the process of summoning the marionette as well as making its appearance to fool anyone thinking that the marionette are the both of them, after she made it walk ahead of them while they sat and observed.
A loud thud was heard and before they knew it there is already a large hole on the wall as if the mansion was split into half, they both saw the damage that was made to the hallway, the first floor can be seen through the large hole and they also saw the forest which surrounds the mansion. "This is bad" Klara muttered as she peeked outside to spot the enemy but she was surprised to see the enemy on the courtyard, it was a large ship floating in the air it has twice the size compared to the mansion and its cannon was as big as the width of the hallway which explains on how powerful its firepower is which was enough to tear a large hole on the mansion. Klara saw its crew loading the cannon and this gave Klara a signal for an attack so she equipped a bow and loaded it with an arrow, she then aimed at the boat but as she stretched the string she was surprised that the crew already finished loading the ammunition as they are ready to fire towards Klara.
The Cannon released a loud thunder like sound as they fired towards Klara, Klara in the other hand has a few seconds before she will be blown apart but to Katyusha it almost happened in an instant, before she knew it Klara vanished which nade Katyusha shed her tears from her eyes as she was surrounded with beasts and as they leaped towards her, they were slain in a blink of an eye which made her suprised "Well I've took care of everything, Master" a familiar voice suddenly said. "Klara!" Katyusha shouted in a joyful tone, Katyusha saw Klara as the smoke subsided "I'm back, Master" Klara said as she knelt down "welcome back, Klara." Katyusha said as she smiled.
But the fight isn't over yet for the ship was still there left unscratched, they haven't fired yet but it may seem that they would if they spotted them. The night was still young as Katyusha does not know how much time she had spent idling around while they were on a lookout for the ship, it was a complete silence in the dark that only the crickets were the only ones that are making the noise from the forest "Stay here, Master" Klara instructed as she sneaks her way to the boat. Katyusha sat on near the wall while trying to fight off the cold breeze of the night that are trying to make her sleep, she thought of taking a nap but since she felt like someone is watching her, she started to resist into falling asleep.
Klara successfully snuck inside the ship, as she climbs to the open window, she took a peek of what's inside. Klara was disgusted on what she saw, it was a pile of fresh meat but not from the animals but from the people they victimised this very scene made Klara think that their opponents are cannibals and they want to feast on Katyusha's soft and tender flesh. Since it was the only window that was open, she had no choice but to enter. As she landed on the floor, there were footsteps that echoed towards her, Klara responded into hiding behind into one of the corpses that was hanged.
The door opened and Klara took a peek from the bullet wound of the displayed flesh. She saw the creature's appearance, it has the head of a pig and its sharp claws over its bulky body. Klara has to decide fast otherwise she would be part of the collection of corpses. She took a deep breath as she gripped on her sword and leaped towards the enemy as if she was ready to take a swing once she was close enough, her actions made the creature startled but it was too late to react for Klara has already sliced through its neck. The creature's head plopped on the floor as Klara swung her sword to cleanse her sword from the creature's blood. Klara took a peek from the door as she went out to find the way to the ship's deck.
Katyusha couldn't wait any longer so she stood up and ran towards the ship, she was spotted as a sudden flash of light blinded her with a loud thunder like sound deafens her ears before she knew it there was a loud explosion but as the smoke subsided, her surroundings were completely obliterated but the only place that was left unscratched was the place that she stood this made her scared as she ran back inside the mansion while the ship's cannon was loading it's ammunition. Katyusha then regretted her decision and hid once again to wait for Klara once more.
Klara heard the explosion as this made her worry, she started to rush things by planting the ammunition room of the ship with an explosive trap, she then snuck out through the window of the ammunition room and went back to look for katyusha, the creatures was trying to look for katyusha but they couldn't find her so they decided to bombard the whole mansion but before they could do so, they would need more ammo so one of them was ordered to get fresh ammunition from the room.
The creature went on the ammunition room but when he opened the door the trap was activated which made a large explosion inside the ship, not only destroying the rooms but also setting everything on fire as the ship slowly falls towards the ground, the whole crew were panicked but it was too late the fire was already too large for them to extinguish, they made the fatal error into jumping from a high place as they died from landing on the ground, the whole crew were killed, some by being burned alive and some by jumping off.
Klara went inside the mansion and saw katyusha hiding behind the cabinet once again, she released a chuckle as she patted her head "it's okay it's already done...your safe now" she said while she kneels in-front of her. Katyusha then smiled and said "does this mean I can go now?" Klara nods her head as a reply which made Katyusha giggle as she hugged her tight "Thank you very much!!" Katyusha said with a very cheerful smile. Klara stood up and patted her head and said "you should go now...they are waiting for you" Katyusha then smiled and replied "sure! Lets go!"
They went on the front door as they stood by the door, Klara bid her farewell but Katyusha was clueless of what Klara did and went through the door. Katyusha suddenly felt weak and fell down but as she hit the cold hard floor, she suddenly woke up on her very own bed, it seems that she was asleep the whole time "Was it a dream?" She asked herself while wondering on why it felt like it was real. Katyusha stood up from her bed and went to the courtyard to get some fresh air.
