Chapter 125

< Finally, you’ve arrived. >
“…‘Finally arrived,’ you say, as if you were waiting for me?”
It was highly suspicious.
“Was it you who opened the staircase?”
< And if I did? >
“…Who are you to have opened it?”
Do you want something from me?
Dealing with the undead on the third floor was already a headache, and now another suspicious entity has appeared.
“…Who are you?”
Instinctively, I hugged the now unnecessary book to my chest.
It was a reflexive action.
< There’s no need to be so wary. I helped you out back there, didn’t I? >
The ‘voice’ sounded hurt.
“That’s the problem. The fact that you helped me.”
< Why? >
“Because I don’t know the reason behind your kindness.”
< How about you come inside first? It’s better than talking out there, isn’t it? >
…Come inside? Open that lone door?
It was so suspicious I wondered if the doorknob might be poisoned.
“Let’s just talk here. Or you could come out, that wouldn’t be bad either.”
< Hmm. That would be difficult. >
“You can’t come out, can you?”
< …… >
I took a shot in the dark, but could it be true that they really couldn’t come out?
“Oh. Is it that you called me because you can’t come out and want me to open the door for you?”
What could be in there?
The higher you go in this mansion, the higher the difficulty.
The third floor was hard and overwhelming for me. I couldn’t even imagine how much harder the fourth floor would be.
I didn’t want to be toyed with anymore, so I stayed alert.
At that moment, I heard a laugh from inside, as if mocking me.
< It’s not really that. >
“You must want something from me. You opened the staircase so I could come up.”
< You think opening the staircase is a big deal. You expect some great reward? >
Opening the staircase is no big deal?
…Some people are desperate to get up here, and that was a deflating thing to hear.
“So, are you saying you sent me up here for fun?”
< Well, partially. >
What kind of trick is this?
“Who are you? Are you really the administrator of the fourth floor?”
< Yes. >
The voice exuded arrogant confidence. I hadn’t even met the administrator of the third floor yet, and here I was, meeting the fourth floor administrator first.
How amusing.
< I have a proposal for you. >
“A proposal?”
< Charlotte, I know what you want. >
“….”
< I’ll give you what you want if you give me what I want. That’s my proposal. >
You know what I want?
I smirked.
“What is it that I want? I doubt it’s something you can give me.”
< You want that man to leave this mansion. Am I wrong? >
“…No. You’re right. You know exactly what I want, but you’re saying you can give me that?”
< Yes. >
“Don’t lie. There’s only one way out—Dietrich has to find the Room of Truth to leave.”
I’m not interested in such tricks.
< I’m not lying. You just didn’t know the other way. >
“…Are you saying there’s another way?”
< Yes. >
“…What is the method?”
< Telling you that would break the deal. You also have to do what I want. >
“What do you want?”
< It’s not difficult. I just need someone to open this door. >
If I open this door, I’ll learn how to get Dietrich out?
‘Is this for real?’
It’s so simple. It feels like all the hardships I’ve endured were for nothing.
I’ve learned the hard way through life.
Everything comes with a price.
If you’re enticed by something simple and quick, you might end up paying a harsher price later.
< You’re suspicious of me. >
I didn’t respond.
It was a difficult decision to make immediately.
< I assure you, you will become more desperate. >
“……”
< A day will come when you will desperately cling to me. >
With those words, a bright white light spread throughout the fourth floor. I squinted my eyes shut from the blinding light.
When I opened my eyes again, I was on the third floor.
As if I had dreamed.
But whether it’s a good dream or a bad dream, someone always brings you back to reality.
For me, that someone was Dietrich, who was watching me with the undead.
“Are you here to kill me?”
