Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 65
Chapter 65
Translator: Yonnee
—
It was a while before Dietrich woke up and came back to his senses again.
He found himself lying in bed.
His memory was hazy, but it seemed like the woman had coaxed and soothed him into being brought here, as he was babbling nonsense.
“…What on earth did I do.”
It was disgraceful.
Whether intoxicated by the fragrance or by emotions, he felt foolish for having laid bare his innermost feelings so unreservedly.
He couldn’t remember everything clearly.
Some scenes were blurry, while others felt as vivid as if he were still living in that moment.
—It must have been very hard for you.
Those softly echoing words still lingered.
And…
—I’ve been wanting to call you by your name, even just once.
Even the nonsensical things that spilled through his own lips.
Whether it was out of shame or because the vivid sensations he felt at the time still dominated him, his body remained warm.
However, it wasn’t the foolish self of that moment that came to mind, but the woman’s faint smile, indicating it was a different emotion from shame.
The memory was dreamlike, and yet oh so clear.
Dietrich immediately got up. He had to find the woman.
How much time had passed?
Knock, knock.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
“…Charlotte?”
Dietrich awkwardly called her name. Who else could it be but her?
However, the visitor was someone else.
“It’s Felix, Mister Dietrich. May I come in?”
“…Ah, yes. Please come in.”
Dietrich was puzzled by the man’s sudden visit.
“What brings you here?”
“How should I say this…”
Felix trailed off, looking troubled. His complexion noticeably darker, Dietrich couldn’t help but suspect something out of the ordinary.
“Miss Charlotte and Erik have disappeared.”
“…What are you talking about right now.”
“It might sound strange, but…”
As if struggling to find the words, Felix couldn’t complete his sentence.
“Felix, it’s okay. Just speak freely.”
“…Haa. Alright. This happened not long after you and Charlotte left the room.”
Felix slowly explained the situation.
“Dietrich, you didn’t seem well. We wanted to help, but Miss Charlotte refused. We were worried, but we couldn’t do anything since Miss Charlotte said it was okay. But Erik seemed to think differently.”
“……”
“…I know it’s odd to say this, but it seems Erik has taken a fancy to Miss Charlotte.”
“…What?”
“Erik and I grew up together. So, we know each other’s tastes incredibly well, and we can tell immediately if the other likes a girl. Anyway, Erik decided to follow Charlotte on his own.”
At that moment, Dietrich felt a wave of dread.
He tried not to show it and listened attentively to Felix.
“Then, suddenly, there was a loud noise.”
“…A loud noise?”
“Yes. Hesta and I were startled by the noise and ran towards it. And then…”
Felix paused again in his explanation.
It seemed he hesitated to continue.
“…It’s hard to believe, so I’m hesitating to bring it up…”
“It’s okay, Felix. Please continue.”
“…Miss Charlotte was there, standing with a blood-stained candelabra… while screaming at Erik to hand over the ring.”
“…What?”
“Erik suddenly screamed that Miss Charlotte was a demon and ran off somewhere.”
“……”
“We asked Charlotte for an explanation, but she ignored us and followed Erik. Hesta and I were too shocked to react at the moment.”
“……”
“We tried to follow them later… but ultimately, we couldn’t find where the two had gone.”
After Felix finished explaining, Dietrich was at a loss. He didn’t know how to react.
His head started to spin.
“…I’ll try to find them as well.”
“I’ll look with Hesta then. Please let me know if you find them, Mister Dietrich.”
Dietrich left the room without responding.
Unaware of how Felix was looking at him.

His mind was in turmoil.
Until he collapsed, the woman had looked at him with tender eyes.
‘But why?’
Felix was a third-party who merely witnessed the situation. There might have been some misunderstanding.
Dietrich wanted to hear the situation directly from Charlotte.
Ah, could it be because of those red eyes?
The woman often underwent such a dramatic change whenever her eyes turned red. This time might be the same.
