Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 436

When Boris' house was burning down, Bellflower stood on the highest wall of this area, her eyes glinting with the light of the flames. The cats in Boris' house disappeared only to show up before her, though they looked almost ethereal now. Bellflower growled, and she disappeared with the cats.

Ms. Ugly was crouched on the wall, staring at the flames like it was a spectacle. "He started with nothing, and now he returns to nothing. A moment of his life shone like the star, and he thought he owned the universe. Now everything crumbles around him, heh."

Harem spirit looked at her and snickered. "And then he fainted. Come on, we gotta take the hypocrite ghost back to him."

Unlucky ghost was dragging a hypocrite ghost, cursing, "Oy, why am I the manual labor every time? Fire burns, haven't you heard?" Ghosts were scared of fire.

Harem spirit said in surprise, "Because we want to give you a chance to gain some credit."

Weakling spirit smirked. "Yeah. It's the first time Lilly told us to catch a ghost ourselves, so we let you take all the credit. Aren't we nice?"

Foolish ghost said, "All the credit's yours when we get back. We won't steal." Yeah, right. We only stayed away because we knew the fire would start.

Unlucky ghost stared at his obviously devious friends. "I don't believe it at all."

Hypocrite ghost said, "Brothers…"

"Shut it!" an unlucky ghost snapped.

I'm not done yet, though.

The ghosts glided toward the Crawford residence, giggling. "But you should. You're taking the hypocrite back, and we're not touching it." Weakling spirit smiled. "You can trust me, can't you?"

Foolish ghost said, "I won't take what's not mine. If I do, you can kill me."

Unlucky ghost believed them, but only for now. I still owe him 111 lollipops. Wonder if I can get some from Lilly.

Hypocrite ghost said, "Brothers, we're all ghosts here. You don't have to do this."

Unlucky ghost snapped, "Shut it."

Hypocrite ghost was reminded of the girl who smacked him and told him to call her daddy. We're all ghosts here. Why should we be that girl's errand boy? This is mortifying. I will not be her errand boy. Right, I'm running when I can.

When they were about to arrive at the residence, hypocrite ghost held foolish ghost and whispered, "Brother, we're all ghosts. There's no need to be the errand boy of a girl. You don't seem to like this job much either. Why don't we run away?" If I can turn one of them into my ally, I might be able to escape. A two-on-three situation isn't the best, but I can work with it.

Foolish ghost looked at him calmly. "And why do you think I don't like this job?"

Hypocrite ghost had no idea, but he thought this one should be the most gullible of the lot, based on his name.

Foolish ghost said, "I might be foolish, but there's one thing I know. I can mess everything up, but I must never betray Lilly." That's the line I would not cross.

Hypocrite ghost was speechless. When the ghosts came back to Lilly's room, the girl was already asleep. She was lying on the bed facing down, and her cheek was contorted a bit, her mouth open.

Ms. Ugly said, "Oh, you can't sleep like that. You'll turn out ugly. I once slept like that when I was a kid, and look what happened to me."

The ghosts were speechless, and the harem spirit rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right. You were born ugly. How you slept had no bearing on that. You should ask your parents why they made you so ugly."

Eh?

Foolish ghost said, "Hey, don't blame the bed. It's not responsible for you being born ugly."

Oy, be considerate, will you?

Weakling spirit poked Lilly's cheek, and he smiled. "She's adorable. No matter how she sleeps, she won't get ugly." She fell asleep while waiting for us. She must trust us. Weakling spirit was touched. No one in this world would trust ghosts, but Lilly did.
