Did I hear that wrong?
What did Dietrich just say?
“Wait a minute, why is your body so warm?”
“……”
“It feels like you have a slight fever…”
The cold I caught when I came up to the third floor hasn’t completely healed, but I’m not in pain anymore.
“Have you been enduring this while being sick?”
“……”
“Why are you silent? You’re making me worry.”
It’s not unusual for Dietrich to worry about me, but something felt off about this situation.
“You should rest for now.”
“Before that, Dietrich, I want to hear what you said a moment ago…”
I wanted to confirm if I had heard him correctly.
“That your body is warm?”
“No, no. Before that…”
“You mean when I asked why you were angry?”
“The words right after that.”
“Ah.”
Dietrich smiled as if he understood.
“My love.”
As he spoke, his eyes curved into a soft smile again.
I hadn’t heard wrong.
Dietrich had become a completely different person. Why did he suddenly turn so flirty?
‘What did the undead do to him?’
I asked in disbelief.
“Why am I your love?”
“Why are you acting so mischievously again?”
‘Again’? What does he mean by that? It’s clearly my first time experiencing this situation, but he speaks as if we’ve gone through it before.
“Aren’t you the mischievous one? Stop that flirtatious attitude right now. It’s making me uncomfortable.”
Dietrich looked momentarily flustered by my words. Then he sighed and crossed his arms.
“You once said you didn’t like it when I was too stiff.”
When did I ever say that?
At this point, it was undeniable.
His memories had been completely manipulated.
The extent of his brainwashing seemed to worsen because of the undead.
“Tell me why you’re angry. Please.”
“……”
This was a headache.
First, to deal with the current situation, I needed to understand what stage Dietrich was at.
“If you know why I’m angry, what will you do?”
“I won’t do anything you dislike.”
Why is he being so devoted?
How could his memories have been altered so drastically…
I also needed to understand why he was acting so devoted.
“Why? What am I to you, that you’d fix things without even knowing the reason?”
“I’ve told you many times before. You are my everything.”
“You’re acting like we’re lovers or something.”
“…What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”
He looked genuinely hurt.
This was driving me insane.
“Charlotte, no matter how angry you are, don’t say such things. Even I can’t endure that.”
“…”
“You said you loved me.”
Were we really lovers?
This was such a headache. What exactly did the undead do to his memories?
What benefit could this memory manipulation possibly bring them?
To reverse the situation, it seemed best to play along for now.
“Alright. I won’t do it.”
Dietrich’s face brightened up.
As if he really loved me.
I felt a bit sorry for him, but it was better to use this opportunity.
“In return, you have to promise me something.”
“I’ll do anything.”
“Who were the people you were just with?”
“They are my friends.”
I smiled brightly.
“Don’t kid around.”
“…What? Did my friends offend you somehow?”
“No? I met them for the first time today.”
“…Then why.”
“Just because I don’t like them.”
“…”
Dietrich looked at a loss for words.
“You said you love me. Then promise you won’t hang out with them.”
Even as I said it, I knew how childish it sounded.
But I couldn’t let Dietrich continue to be tricked by the undead.
“…That’s unreasonable.”
“Then break up with me if you don’t like it.”
“…Haah. Why are you being so mean?”
“So, do you want to or not?”
Dietrich, looking aggrieved, finally nodded.
“…Alright.”
Unbelievable.
How much must his memories have been manipulated for him to cut ties with his supposedly precious friends for the sake of his lover?
Was their friendship always this shallow, or was he just deeply in love?
“In return, don’t speak like that again.”
“Like what?”
“Don’t mock our relationship.”
“…Uh, okay.”
I hadn’t mocked it, but now I felt like I had.
I need to shatter this illusion quickly.
