Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 167
Chapter 167
Translator: Yonnee
—
“Hey, Dietrich. Are you still sulking?”
“……”
“Dietrich.”
“……”
“Dietriiiich.”
Even as I elongated his name, there was no response from him.
The irony was that, despite that, he was still by my side.
“I was wrong. I’m sorry for everything. So…”
I raised my foot from under the blanket.
Clang—
The sound of chains clashing rang out.
“Can’t you at least take these off?”
“……”
Ignored again.
The wounds from the nightmare must have been severe.
He had shackled my ankle and confined me.
It was a disturbing situation, but knowing the wrongs I had committed, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.
After all, wasn’t I the one who broke him in the first place?
“Dietrich.”
He was sitting at the edge of the bed, his back turned to me.
I embraced him from behind, resting my head against his back. His body tensed, and I could feel his strained breaths.
“What should I do to make you stop being mad? Hm?”
“……”
“Tell me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
Only then did Dietrich look at me. I smiled sweetly, trying to entice him.
“Should I kiss you? Would that make you feel better?”
“……”
“Or should I keep hugging you like this?”
“……”
“Or maybe… should I tell you I love you until you’re tired of hearing it?”
At that moment, his body tensed even more.
Ah, this must be it.
I traced patterns on his back with my fingers.
“Go on, choose. I’ll do whatever you want.”
“…Anything?”
“Yes, anything.”
For the first time since he shackled me, he finally turned to look at me.
“Do everything for me.”
“Sure. But can you take off these shackles first?”
The moment I saw his face, I realized.
Yeah, that’s not going to happen.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him.
“I love you.”
“……”
Dietrich’s tension seemed to ease for a moment. But soon, his violet eyes glinted as he gripped my ankle.
He kept pressing and releasing my ankle repeatedly, as if testing it.
“Do you love me, or do you love my ankle?”
I asked out of curiosity, seeing his puzzled expression.
“What? Seems like it’s both, I guess.”
“Seems like you know me well.”
I embraced his neck.
“You’ve found my love again. Congratulations.”
“……”
“So now, please let me go. I’m exhausted.”
“Promise me you’ll never say those terrible things to me again.”
Dietrich, still believing the nightmare was reality, said.
In exchange for that promise, I had to suffer in this room for a week.
“Yes. I promise.”
“Say you love me.”
“I love you.”
After repeating this exchange several more times, Dietrich finally removed the shackles from my ankle.
I wouldn’t treat Dietrich cruelly anymore.
After all, we would soon part ways.

And now, in the present.
I stood in front of the mansion’s main doors.
I was here to open them.
< You may feel as if your limbs are being torn apart. You must endure it. Only then can you open the door. >
Could I really endure it?
[ Steel Mentality is being implemented. ]
At this moment, I was grateful that Steel Mentality hadn’t deactivated.
At first, I thought it was a curse of an ability, but without it, I wouldn’t have been able to endure.
[ Would you like to use Word Spirit? ]
[ Yes / No ]
It was my first time using this power, and I was trembling with nerves.
I didn’t hesitate any longer and moved to select [ Yes ].
But at that moment, thud! A powerful shock struck the mansion.
The mansion, which hadn’t moved an inch before, suddenly shook violently as if an earthquake had hit.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
‘What on earth is happening?’
A chilling sensation spread from my heart, and pain shot up to my head, sending me collapsing to the ground.
“Ahhh!”
It hurts. It hurts so much.
I hadn’t even used my power yet.
Something’s wrong.
“Charlotte!”
Hearing my pained scream, Dietrich came running frantically.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The entire mansion trembled as if it was about to be uprooted.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
“Why all of a sudden…?”
[ Charlotte’s power is unstable. ]
[ Steel Mentality has been temporarily deactivated. ]
[ Steel Mentality: OFF ]
[ All abilities, except the unique ability ‘Word Spirit’, are locked. ]
