Dahlia Black

The final girl manifested with surprisingly little fanfare in the middle of the stage.

Ashley, still reeling from that last revelation, thought there was no way anything could still surprise him.

And yet, he was once again **** to stare at the girl in front of him with a gaping mouth.

Indeed, it would not be wrong to say that this was the biggest shock he received since he was brought here.

“Don't see what the bloody hoo-ha is.”, Liz commented. "She don't look too bonza to me."

“And she most certainly does not have my figure”, Sahara added quite pleased with herself.

“Bliblebliblebabuble”-Megan

The girl indeed didn’t look anything special.

She was quite young, perhaps 21 to 22 years, had brown hair fashioned in a pony tail, average breasts and a healthy if not overly athletic body that she hides behind a white shirt and a pair of jeans.

Unassuming would be the nice way of putting it. Plain would be more accurate.

“Dahlia?”

The word came out little more than a whisper but Ashley’s eyes said everything

From all the girls it was only Kikki who showed a similarly strong reaction, although it was more one akin to confusion as she looked between the newcomer and her big brother.

“Who if fhe?”, whispered Carol, eager to soak up any information that she could.

The odd look of confusion continued for a split second. Then, Kikki slipped back into her mask and smiled. “That is Dahlia Black. Big Bro’s childhood friend.”

“So you’re Dahlia, huh?”, Shizuka grunted. “Bleh, this dream is getting stranger and stranger.”

Yes, that was absolutely true.

Just as with Shizuka, Ashley knew Dahlia since childhood.

But unlike as with Shizuka…

“W-Why is she here?”, Ashley finally squeezed out. “She is...I mean...she shouldn’t…”

“Because unlike everyone else present Dahlia Black is not a bully?”, Ora chuckled. “At least not that you are aware of.”

“N-No...that’s, no...”

The little host grinned. “But you know, there is no requirement for everyone to be a bully on my season.”

It should provide Ashley with some relief, but this only switched the origin of his dread.

Because the one thing that gave Ashley some solace was that from all the people present here not a single one did not deserve it.

But now that was no longer true.

“Poor, poor Dahlia”, Ora tittered. “So, nice, so sweet, so IRRITATINGLY a good person, the audience will now doubt love her. And because of that…”

Some of the remaining contestants immediately understood. Some needed a bit longer.

But eventually every single one of them came to the same conclusion.

She is without a doubt the biggest threat.

“Thif if like throwing a fheep to the wolvef”, Carol summed it up.

The master feels immense pity for you for the first time! +1VP

first time Bonus: +1VP

“Umm…” Dahlia, who during this entire exchange uttered not a single syllable, finally gave a sign of life from her. “Where...where am I..?”

“Yes, yes, questions, answers, later”, Ora impatiently moved her hand. “Now that we are FINALLY done with the boring introduction part most people skip anyways, let’s get on with it, shall we? Next up is…uh...uh...ah right! More boring stuff everyone skips!”

…

“DON’T SKIP IT!”
