Chapter XII

Not really knowing what to do with these two monsters, Frisk is content to wait for what happens next, just like Sans. The latter observes his little brother for a moment before he decides to leave to certainly go and prepare his traps. The young human sighs in relief before approaching Sans who does not seem to want to move with a kneecap.

"You… are you sure it's safe?" He ... He is a little impressive your brother at first glance ...

-Nah, don't worry. I told you: he's not dangerous for a penny, he's just trying to look like it. The young girl nervously scratches her arm.

-OK, if you say so…

-Come on kid, don't be afraid, ok? Alright, you should go, Papyrus is certainly waiting for you with one of his puzzle pieces. Frisk just nods before he takes Sans's advice. The latter sighs before teleporting to the next area, where Papyrus is. The older skeleton teleports again to be next to its little brother.

"So bro '? Are you preparing for the invisible labyrinth?

-Exactly my dear brother! The Human is probably not prepared for this kind of test!

- Yep, it would surprise me if they had fun doing this kind of thing on the surface ...

-Was you Without! The Human is already here! Get in your place! The little skeleton rolls its eyes as the two brothers position themselves to face Frisk. The latter stops to observe the two monsters while Papyrus takes out an orb which does not know where.

" Human ! Here is my first riddle! I named it: The Invisible Labyrinth! In front of you is therefore a labyrinth whose walls are invisible. If unfortunately you touch one of these walls, this orb that I hold will assimilate an electric shock to you! You can not imagine the number of fun you will receive Human! At the end of Papyrus' explanations, Frisk is not long in venturing into the maze, but at the first step, the largest skeleton is electrocuted. The latter, annoyed, therefore begins to stamp his foot. But why ?! Without! What have you done again ?! The latter shrugs his shoulders.

-I think it's the Human who must hold the brother orb.

-Oh yes! Where was my head! Papyrus therefore makes the journey of the labyrinth, and thanks to the snow, Frisk can clearly see the path to follow. Once near it, the younger skeleton sends the orb into the air before reversing to return to its big brother, while the orb lands on the human's head. Very Good Human! You can go now! It is therefore without difficulty that the young girl crosses the maze to join the two brothers. The larger of the two, shocked, stares at the little human for a long time. Oh my god… It looked so easy… It looked like he already knew the route in advance!… Ok Human! Next time it won't be that easy! The next puzzle game was made by my brother! You didn't get off that easily! With his words, Papyrus rushes off to the next area to set the next trap. Hearing that the next puzzle has been completed by Sans, Frisk swallows and walks over to the smiling skeleton.

"What is your 'skull-breaker' Without…?"

-Hehehe, are you scared kid? The latter pursues her lips.

-Bah ... It's true that looking more closely, you look more dangerous than your brother ... Even if you stand there doing nothing with your hands in your pockets, I'm sure you're smarter than you look like it… right? The other just chuckles before giving him a wink.

-Who knows. Okay, next area, kid, I have to go find - prepare the trap with my brother. Frisk puffs out his cheeks before surrendering and leaving for the next area. Without a sigh of relief before teleporting home, or more exactly, to his brother's room. The little skeleton therefore begins to rummage in the drawers and does not take long to come across a sheet on which there are junior mishmash. Looking at the leaf more closely, the older skeleton laughs, already imagining his brother's reaction to it. So he teleports again and returns to Papyrus after dropping the skullcap on the ground. The two brothers don't even have time to debrief that Frisk is already arriving in the area. The youngest skeleton therefore resumes his self-confident air.

"I was waiting for you Human! Get ready for the next brainstorm! ... Papyrus blinks several times and observes the area. Uh… Without…? Where's the puzzle?

-Just there, parterre. The young girl therefore comes forward to pick up the leaf, which she looks at for a moment before raising her head towards Sans. The latter assimilates a new wink to him, which makes smile the human who puts down the plug before heading towards the two brothers. The smaller of the two nods his head several times. Well, looks like it hasn't stopped him.

-This Human is really impressive! Being so quick on a junior hodgepodge is crazy! The older one looks at his brother with a jaded air.

- Man, are you serious? The mishmash? Complicated? Crosswords are by far the hardest for baby skeletons.

-Without! Don't be ridiculous! He turns to Frisk. Human ! Solve this dispute! The latter hesitates for a moment, but after setting her gaze on Sans, she decides to answer that the junior hodgepodge is more complicated than the crossword, and of course, that makes Papyrus happy. Nyeh Heh Heh! Humans have to be pretty darn smart to find complicated mishmash! Go! Head to the next area where my other traps await you! Then he leaves again, at full speed to be sure to finish the preparations on time. Sans makes fun of the situation and goes to meet Frisk.

"Well done kid, my brother really seems to have fun, it's been a while since I saw him so playful. Well, on the other hand, I don't think he has any other puzzle pieces to offer you… He shrugs his shoulders. Anyway, you'll see, go file. And once again, the girl wisely obeyed the smiling skeleton's instructions. The latter follows the girl with his eyes, and observing her carefully, he realizes that her LOVE level is greater than one. Well, not really to worry about, if she had killed all the monsters she has encountered so far, her level would be much higher, and she would not have accepted Sans Qu's proposal. 'she would have attacked on the spot. This focuses again on the plane, but looking at the area more closely, he realizes that he is not far from his favorite spot. He chuckles for a moment before teleporting and landing in front of a large door that seems impossible to open. The skeleton therefore comes forward before knocking on the door and saying "Knock knock". No answer. He renews the operation: Once. Twice. Thrice. Always nothing. Disappointed, the little skeleton sighs and ends up turning back. Weird… The old woman he usually talks to is never late… Too bad, she's probably gone to rest or something… Yeah, that must be it. land in front of a large door that seems impossible to open.

On the way home, still with his hands in his pockets and his head bowed, Sans couldn't help but reflect on the reason for the old lady's absence. The skeleton discovered this place quite a while ago, and he loves to go there to chill out a bit. The first time he stumbled upon that door, he couldn't resist the urge to knock while wanting to play a pun. And to his surprise, a woman responded present to his call, and the jokes of the skeleton immediately pleased him very much. Since that day, this stranger and Sans often meet to exchange their different word games and company. But hey, we have to believe that today she is not in the mood ... Anyway, Sans finally ends up raising his head,
