Strangely enough, the system window didn’t appear while I was doing that.
[ Congratulations, Charlotte, maid of this mansion. You have achieved an assimilation rate of 45%!
With the increase in assimilation rate, Charlotte’s autonomy increases.
Charlotte can now act more freely than before.
– Words can be used more freely.
– Actions can be done more freely. ]
So it was because of this?
I wondered how far I could go. I was curious.
Perfect timing.
I’ll get rid of these undead and see what I can do.
I immediately swung the knife to stab one of the undead, but my arm was grabbed.
The undead looked at me and laughed.
Its eyes gradually focused, and it screamed.
“AARGH!”
At that moment, the undead’s face changed.
The creatures, pale and reeking of decay, shed their zombie-like appearance and turned human.
“Huh? Dietrich! Why are you here…?”
And it happened right as Dietrich arrived.
It was truly unbelievable.
As expected, Dietrich looked confused about how to deal with them.
‘I need to end this now.’
The longer these beings were left alive, the harder it would be to kill them.
At that moment, Dietrich snapped out of it and slowly approached me.
He gently took hold of my arm, which held the knife, and spoke with difficulty.
“Dietrich, these are undead. They’re not the people you know.”
“…I know.”
“Really? That’s good. Then kill them quickly.”
“Charlotte, that’s…”
“This mansion is deceiving you. These things are monsters, Dietrich.”
I placed the knife in Dietrich’s hand.
“Ah, right. You always carry a sword with you. I forgot. You can use that to kill them.”
“Charlotte, I mean…”
“Wait, wait! What is this lady talking about? Calling us monsters! And she wants you to kill us? What’s going on?”
Dietrich’s face turned pale.
In this state, he can’t do anything.
“Charlotte, let’s step aside and talk for a moment.”
“Fine.”
With my permission, Dietrich took my hand and quickly led me away from the undead.
But as I glanced back…
The monsters were smirking at us.

The place we took refuge was the staircase connecting the third and second floors.
Dietrich sat down on the stairs, and I stood a few steps below, looking up at him.
“Kill them, Dietrich.”
Those were my first words as soon as we moved aside.
“I tried to kill them, but I don’t have enough strength. I underestimated them. They’re stronger than I thought.”
“……”
“They’re monsters. Keeping them around won’t do any good.”
“……”
“You may not be able to kill people, but you’re good at killing monsters. Or is it because they look like people?”
He couldn’t say a word.
Still in shock, he just held my hand and hung his head.
“Dietrich, you’re the one who wanted to talk elsewhere. So, speak up.”
Maybe reacting to my words, Dietrich finally lifted his head and looked at me.
“I’ll do as you say. I’ll kill them.”
“Good decision. I don’t know what their relationship is with you, but they’re pretending to be people you know. They’re deceiving you.”
“……”
“So, Dietrich, go and kill them.”
But instead of moving immediately, Dietrich just looked at me.
“…They’re monsters, as you said. So, I’ll kill them. But not right now.”
“Not right now? Then what will you do?”
“…Give me a little time, Charlotte.”
He asked, almost pleading, gently pulling on my fingertips.
“…I need time.”
As much as I wanted to tell him to kill them immediately, I had to be satisfied with successfully convincing him to do it.
“How much time do you need?”
“…A day. Perhaps one day will be enough.”
One day.
I thought about what could happen during that day.
I didn’t have much experience on the third floor, so I knew very little. So it might be better to deal with them quickly before any variables arise.
But… seeing him struggle so much, one day should be fine.
“Alright. But you must kill them.”
For you to survive.
[ Darkness: 57% ]
Killing them quickly would probably help lower his darkness meter, too.
