Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Translator: Yonnee
—
I slept really well.
Charlotte’s body didn’t require much sleep, so I hadn’t realized I could sleep this well.
However, it seemed like I was exhausted, probably due to the penalty.
Getting up from the bed and pondering the events that had unfolded before, I searched for Furball.
‘He’s gone.’
Where could he have gone?
In the game, it always stuck close to Dietrich.
After wandering around for a while, when I returned to my room, there was something placed at the door.
A basket with apples.
‘Did Dietrich leave this?’
I bent my knees to look at the apples, and I noticed tiny bite marks on one of them.
On closer inspection, I also spotted bite marks on the basket’s handle.
Could it be…?
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Kkyung!”
Just then, a small black furball jumped out from behind.
I embraced Furball, feeling its warm body temperature.
“Did you bring this here?”
Furball nodded, tilting his tiny head forward.
He seemed to understand me.
“I appreciate your help from last time.”
I couldn’t have anticipated this little creature would bring a water bomb.
This was something that never happened in the game, so it was somewhat suspicious.
However, since it seemed friendly toward me, I didn’t see any immediate issue.
“What are you, anyway?”
“Kkwaaang.”
“You’re a ‘Kkwang’?”
Shake, shake.
It shook its head.
This time, he looked dissatisfied, like it wanted to say something but couldn’t express it, and his face appeared sulky.
Then, he seemed to make up his mind and nodded his head again.
“Kkung! Aaang!”
“……”
“Kkyung- ah!”
Perhaps, it was trying to tell me its identity.
He made a valiant effort to communicate, but regrettably, I couldn’t understand a thing.
“Kyung…”
After a few attempts, he seemed to give up, and his body went limp.
He appeared to have realized that no matter what he did, I wouldn’t understand.
“Kyuung…”
I pitied his futile efforts.
Now, I was even more intrigued by its true identity.
[ Time remaining until the next game: 1:31:29 ]
Hmm…
I’d love to play more with Furball, but there’s not much time left until the next game.
For now, I’m relieved that Furball is safe.
I gently set down the warm little guy. He gave me a puzzled look and lightly tapped my leg with his small head.
“I have to go meet Dietrich. Do you want to come with me?”
“Kkyung…”
It seemed to hesitate for a moment and then shook its head, indicating it didn’t want to go.
“Why?”
I was surprised. I had expected it to follow me willingly.
“Okay, then. How about we see each other later, just the two of us?”
“Kkyung!”
He started jumping up and down, as though this was what he’d been wanting to hear.
Now, it’s difficult to tell Dietrich about this now. The little one who was supposed to follow Dietrich was instead following me.
“You’re supposed to dislike me, you know? Do you understand?”
Shake, shake.
It gave a nonchalant response, as if it didn’t know, and nuzzled its head against my leg.
In the game, it used to growl when it saw me.
“Okay, let’s meet later.”
I gave the furball a gentle pat on the head, and then I stood up.
With the apple it had given me and other necessary items, my arms were full.
Ugh. It was quite heavy.
With all these things in my arms, I walked to Dietrich’s study.
What made him stay in the study when he was so busy searching through the room?
He had hung his usual outerwear on a chair and was leaning slightly against the desk.
With his sleeves pushed up his forearms, he was flipping through books, his strong muscles and the well-defined structure of his hands beautiful to behold.
His fallen strands of dark hair and long eyelashes were equally captivating.
Unconsciously, I held my breath whenever his violet eyes blinked slowly.
The expression ‘breathtakingly handsome’ wasn’t an exaggeration.
“…When did you arrive?”
Only then did Dietrich seem to sense my presence, and he turned his head with a surprised expression.
Every time he looked at me, it was the same expression.
An expression that seemed to say that he wasn’t expecting to see me.
“I just got here. Are you busy?”
“…What do you need?”
The smile I had seen before going to sleep now seemed forced as he gazed at me.
“Nothing in particular.”
“…Why did you bring those things with you?”
Dietrich’s gaze turned to the objects I was carrying, wrapped up in my arms.
“This is an apple, and this is a needle and thread.”
As I explained, I raised one apple in my left hand and the needle and thread in my right.
“I know what I’m looking at. What I’m asking is, why did you bring those?”
