"Are there really Puki in the Treasure Chest Room?" Ai Mei stared at the scene inside the room, her voice filled with incredulous doubt.
"No, no, no!" Horn immediately countered, shaking his head like a rattle, "Which Underground City rumor ever mentioned Puki popping out in the Treasure Chest Room? Absolutely not!"
"Then this..." Ai Mei was momentarily speechless.
Horn was also at a loss for words.
Cautiously observing for a moment, it seemed there was no danger inside. He signaled Ai Mei to guard the entrance while he and Noah went in to see what was happening.
In the center of the room, a particularly plump Fat Otaku Puki sat behind a wooden table naturally formed from gnarled tree branches.
On the side facing the entrance, several knee-high, sturdy Big Mushrooms stood prominently, resembling round stools prepared for visitors.
The Fat Otaku Puki was not alone; several regular-sized Puki quietly "sat" on the Fungal Mat behind it.
