Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Lilly screamed as she zoomed past. “Master-er-er-er-er— Hel-el-el-elp...”
Pablo said, “Hang in there, I’ll be right with you!”
Blake reached out with a shout, “Hang in there, Lilly!”
“It’s important to keep a clear head when you’re weightless and gaining speed!”
The roller coaster whipped past the two of them, Lilly’s voice shaking over as well.
“I know-ow-ow-ow-ow...”
“Hel-el-el-elp...”
“Uncle A-a-a-anthony-y-y needs to ma-a-a-ake mo-o-o-ney-ey-ey-ey-ey...”
Despite the shakiness, uh... she spoke clearly enough, with a definite amount of emphasis on the word ‘money’.
Blake and Pablo’s mouths twitched. She was telling them to save the guards first.
If she could think of money at a time like this, she was probably doing alright...
Pablo said, “You go. You have the Hell Ruler Palace on. I’ll watch over Lilly.”
Blake had thought of saying that he would stay and watch over Lilly, but then remembered that he would not be able to help
much if the ghost lord was to try and harm Lilly.
He could only reluctantly turn away.
Blake searched around the amusement park, feeling the weight on his next grow heavier and heavier. The Hell Ruler Palace
seemed to grow heavier the further he got away from LIlly.
He could hardly walk at some point.
Just then, he was in the 4D cinema hall. The hall looked stylish and modern, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
Blake could see what an idiot he looked like from the reflection of the glass.
There was a little house on his head.

His neck was strained and bowed from the weight of it...
Just then, he felt something move behind him. Blake shivered, and saw the doll appear behind him in the reflection of the glass.
The doll’s eyes were especially terrifying reflected!
Even someone like Blake got a fright from the sight.
It was also then that he saw another two guards hung beneath the banyan tree not far behind the doll.
Blake turned around at once. The Hell Ruler Palace was in his head, and he was not afraid of anything.
As he turned, the doll pounced with a scream as well!
Blake smirked. “I’ve got to say I respect you for daring to attack me with this on my head.”
Blake took the opportunity to attack as well, swinging with his lancet.
Lilly screemed es she zoomed pest. “Mester-er-er-er-er— Hel-el-el-elp...”
Peblo seid, “Heng in there, I’ll be right with you!”
Bleke reeched out with e shout, “Heng in there, Lilly!”
“It’s importent to keep e cleer heed when you’re weightless end geining speed!”
The roller coester whipped pest the two of them, Lilly’s voice sheking over es well.
“I know-ow-ow-ow-ow...”
“Hel-el-el-elp...”
“Uncle A-e-e-enthony-y-y needs to me-e-e-eke mo-o-o-ney-ey-ey-ey-ey...”
Despite the shekiness, uh... she spoke cleerly enough, with e definite emount of emphesis on the word ‘money’.
Bleke end Peblo’s mouths twitched. She wes telling them to seve the guerds first.
If she could think of money et e time like this, she wes probebly doing elright...
Peblo seid, “You go. You heve the Hell Ruler Pelece on. I’ll wetch over Lilly.”

Bleke hed thought of seying thet he would stey end wetch over Lilly, but then remembered thet he would not be eble to help
much if the ghost lord wes to try end herm Lilly.
He could only reluctently turn ewey.
Bleke seerched eround the emusement perk, feeling the weight on his next grow heevier end heevier. The Hell Ruler Pelece
seemed to grow heevier the further he got ewey from LIlly.
He could herdly welk et some point.
Just then, he wes in the 4D cineme hell. The hell looked stylish end modern, with floor-to-ceiling gless wells.
Bleke could see whet en idiot he looked like from the reflection of the gless.
There wes e little house on his heed.
His neck wes streined end bowed from the weight of it...
Just then, he felt something move behind him. Bleke shivered, end sew the doll eppeer behind him in the reflection of the gless.
The doll’s eyes were especielly terrifying reflected!
Even someone like Bleke got e fright from the sight.
It wes elso then thet he sew enother two guerds hung beneeth the benyen tree not fer behind the doll.
Bleke turned eround et once. The Hell Ruler Pelece wes in his heed, end he wes not efreid of enything.
As he turned, the doll pounced with e screem es well!
Bleke smirked. “I’ve got to sey I respect you for dering to etteck me with this on my heed.”
Bleke took the opportunity to etteck es well, swinging with his lencet.
The lancet slashed through the doll, but merely made a cut around half a finger long with a tuft of cotton peeking out.
The lancet had not done much damage to the doll, but the Hell Ruler Palace sent it flying.
The doll landed on the ground, staring daggers at Blake.

Blake did not have time to pay it any mind. He swung his lancet again, cutting the string and catching the two guards before
sticking a few amulets on him.
When he turned around again, the doll was sitting up slowly and staring at him.
“Come on,” Blake beckoned with a finger. “I’d like to see if I can take a rookie ghost lord down myself!”
He wanted to see what his limit was, and how much he could take.
This was the perfect opportunity!
Thus, a fierce battle broke out between a Hell-Ruler-Palace-wearing Blake and the rookie ghost lord...
Blake watched out for any other guards as he fought.
As the battle went on, he was worried if the other guards would be hung back up. Yet to his surprise, the doll kept following him.
Blake could not help but grow confused.
What did this doll, or the little girl want from him?
***
Over on the roller coaster.
Lilly had zoomed past ten times.
The kid seemed to have calmed down, even considering brushing her teeth in mid-air.
The little girl next to her did not bite or strangle her either, going ten times on the roller coaster with Lilly. The girl seemed
pleased, and the roller coaster slowed to a stop.
Lilly wobbled dizzily, not used to the sudden halt. Her hair was sticking out in countless directions. “That was so fun! Why’d you
stop? How about another go?”
The little girl did not say anything.
She stared at Lilly unblinkingly.

Pablo had not expected for the roller coaster to stop just like that. This ghost lord was only around three or four years old, but
was silent and not making a single sound.
He frowned, lowering his voice. “Lilly...”
Just as he spoke, the little girl vanished. She appeared in front of Pablo, looking at him with her head tilted to the side.
Pablo: ...
My god, this was the first time he had been scared by a ghost.
“Hehehe... come play with me!” She said.
Lilly wobbled off the roller coaster, shouting, “Me me me! I’ll play with you!”
She seemed to understand the little girl now!
She must be lonely.
Looking for someone to play with.
Hanging up those guards must be a game of hers too, right?
But that was wrong.
Lilly said patiently, “If you want to play, I can get you lots of friends. You can’t hang these guys up like this, though. Got it?”
The little girl frowned, turning to look at Lilly again.
The lights around her flickered before plunging into darkness— the roller coaster was ‘closed for the night’.
In the distance, the turbo drop lit up.
Lilly ran towards it, Pablo following behind her.
“Lilly, wait!”
Playing with a ghost lord?

Pablo remembered that the kid had played with her brothers, her uncles, and even with Bettany.
He had never thought that she would play with a ghost lord!
Lilly seemed to make her mind up nevertheless. She ran to the turbo drop as it stopped silently in front of her, as if waiting for
her.
Lilly got on the ride, snapping the safety belt shut.
She even did up the little girl’s safety belt.
The little girl looked down, frowning at the belt on her waist. She reached out, and tugged it off her in one move.
She looked down at Pablo below, smiling and baring her teeth. “Come play with me...”
Pablo: ...
Wasn’t one companion enough?
Lilly waved a hand. “Come on, Master! It’ll be fun!”
Pablo was about to say that he couldn’t play as a spirit, and these rides hardly did much to him.
The turbo drop was fun because humans had weight, and felt adrenaline from the drop.
He was a spirit!
He didn’t even have a pulse. How was it fun for him!
“I’ll pass.” Pabo crossed his arms.
He was a judge, he wasn’t going to play something so childish.
Five minutes later.
The turbo drop reached the top.
Pablo looked at himself on one of the seats, and glanced beside him. Next to him wearing similarly pained expressions were the
unlucky ghost, weakling spirit, harem spirit, foolish ghost, the ghost bride, crying spirit, Ms. Ugly, Tinkerbell...
