Drake, who was sitting on the couch downstairs, noticed. “Do you want to see Lilly?”
Just go, damn it!
This back-and-forth is giving me a headache.
Josh clicked his tongue. “Who said I was going to see her? I was just thirsty and wanted a drink.”
Drake obviously doubted him.
Josh scurried about until night fell when he knocked on Lilly’s door.
“Come in!” Lilly called out.
He lowered his head and nervously scanned his surroundings before quickly entering the room.
Drake, meanwhile, pretended he didn’t see anything.
Hah, that guy is so stubborn.
He didn’t understand why Josh seemed different ever since he left with Lilly.
Lilly was such an annoying person. He would never be foolish enough to go along with her whims.
He huffed and closed the door behind him to read.
Lilly was lying in bed when Josh entered her room.
Her feet were dangling in the air.
“What are you doing?” Josh asked.
She continued to shake her short legs. “I’m trying to lose weight.”
“…”
“How old are you? What kid needs to lose weight?”
Her chubby cheeks would disappear if she lost weight. She wouldn’t be cute anymore.
She was perfect as she was now. Like a tomato.
She finally put her feet down and sprawled on the bed. “Okay… I won’t be able to eat as much later if I don’t lose some weight.”
Granny will worry if I don’t eat.
“You still want to eat?” Josh was shocked.
Others go on a diet to appear slim, and here she was doing it because she wanted to eat more.
She ate everything the street had to offer this afternoon!
Lilly clutched her rounded tummy in distress.
“Why are stomachs so small? Why can’t everything below the neck be a stomach?”
“…” Josh had no response to that.
“…”
She suddenly looked up. “Hey, Ms. Sumo Wrestler? How did you die?”
The spirit was so swollen. Could she have been stuffed to death?
Lilly was looking directly behind Josh.
He stiffened. “I-Is Ms. Sumo Wrestler behind me?”
No way… Is she behind me…?
Lilly pointed behind him. “She’s right there on top of you.”
She said the most frightening words with the sincerest expression.
Josh immediately moved closer to Lilly and stiffly sat down next to her.
That startled Lilly. “Are you scared, Josh?”
He pursed his lips. “No. I was just tired of standing and wanted to sit down.”
Lilly looked at Josh and then at the sofa nearby.
He could’ve sat there. Why was he sitting next to her?
She saw through his lies in an instant but chose not to dwell on it.
“Okay, Josh! Let me know if you’re tired next time.”
“…”
There won’t be a next time!
He slinked onto the couch to cover up his embarrassment.
“Did you manage to ask her how she died?”
He couldn’t contain his curiosity.
How did a spirit like her die?
That was his first encounter with the supernatural. His world turned upside down ever since he saw the ugly ghost that night.
It was as if he had opened a door into a brand-new world.
He was scared, but he couldn’t help wanting to know more…
Pablo was currently suppressing the vanity spirit.
Her mouth was wide open. She didn’t look friendly at all.
He managed to pull a female spirit named “May Lee” out of her mouth.
Lilly was surprised. “Wow, you did it!”
“What?” Josh asked.
“Ms. Sumo Wrestler ate Ms. Ugly. Master tried to separate them.”
She had been worried.
She had to fill the jar, after all. Having a spirit devoured meant that she had to find another one to replace it.
Pablo told her not to worry. That was how she could leisurely try to lose weight while Pablo rescued Ms. Ugly from Ms. Sumo Wrestler’s stomach.
Josh misunderstood her.
He was now without sight. His overactive imagination had him thinking it was like going to the bathroom.
Disgust flashed in his eyes at the thought.
May Lee burst into tears after being spat out.
“She ate me! She actually ate me!”
