Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 51
Chapter 51
Translator: Yonnee
—
Dietrich died quite a lot.
He died several times on the first floor. Then, after barely making it to the second floor, he met the bandits and died again.
Finally reaching the third floor, he got caught by the events on the second floor and it was game over.
Having climbed to the third floor with his darkness meter too high, he couldn’t do anything.
Out of sheer frustration, I quit the game.
I just couldn’t forget what happened with the bandits on the second floor.
If certain conditions were met, the bandits who ravaged the village would enter the mansion.
True to their brutal nature, they were all in a frenzy.
Upon their first entry into the mansion, seeing Dietrich’s handsome appearance, they felt an impulse to cruelly destroy him.
For their amusement, they hid their true nature, pretending to be benign and spent time with Dietrich.
The moment Dietrich trusted them, they brutally betrayed him.
They poisoned his food, ambushed him with fatal wounds, and tormented him in various ways.
And when they killed him, it was done so cruelly.
Ah, I suddenly remembered how harshly I cursed at that moment. Every curse word I knew, and even some new ones.
What was truly regrettable was that Dietrich was already exhausted from the events on the first floor.
For Dietrich, the appearance of the bandits seemed almost welcome.
Their arrival slowed the rise of his darkness meter.
If only for a moment.
“…So what you’re saying is, we’re trapped here? There’s a curse on this mansion that we can only leave by finding the Room of Truth, and that’s why both you and Miss Charlotte haven’t been able to leave?”
“That’s correct.”
After Dietrich finished explaining, the bandits’ eyes widened, seemingly shocked.
Dietrich offered them a brief word of consolation, as if pitying them.
However, the corners of the bandits’ mouths twitched after hearing Dietrich’s story.
“Hahaha! Bwahaha! What a great joke, even with such a serious face!”
One man laughed heartily, his shoulders shaking.
“Your face was so serious I thought it was true. Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve met someone this fun.”
The bandits, taking Dietrich’s words for a lie, pulled at the door.
“It opens so easily, what do you mean ‘trapped’…”
Click.
“…Hmm?”
Click, click.
Pushing the door forward, pulling it backward, even pushing it sideways did nothing.
Silence fell for a moment.
“Ugh, you’re frustrating me! Move over! Let me try!”
No other bandit succeeded. The result was the same.
Click, click.
“This is absurd… Are we really trapped?”
“Damn! I told you this place was cursed!”
The bandits shook their heads in disbelief.
But as I already knew the whole situation, I could only find it amusing.
Initially shocked, they soon changed their thinking.
True to their madness, they came to think of this grand mansion as a place meant for them.
After struggling at the door for a while, they finally accepted the fact that they were trapped.
“…So you’re saying we really need to find the Room of Truth to get out?”
“That’s correct.”
“How did you come to know all these facts?”
A sharp question.
In the game, ‘Charlotte’ had told me, but right now, Dietrich just glanced at me without saying anything.
“It was pure luck. We found out while trying to escape and wandering around the rooms.”
I calmly answered for Dietrich, and the bandits nodded.
Dietrich seemed reluctant to lie, but he didn’t say anything else.
“So we’re all in the same boat then… Since it’s come to this, how about we each introduce ourselves?”
The despondent bandits quickly regained their composure.
“I’m Felix. I traveled around here and there, following my father who was a merchant. These guys and I are like childhood friends.”
A bold-faced lie. They were nothing but fiendish bandits.
