—
For a moment, Dietrich stared at Erik’s body without a word. Then, he decisively walked towards me.
“…What are you doing?”
“I’m going to hide it.”
“……”
I watched Dietrich lift Erik’s body.
“But you hate this kind of thing.”
“…There’s no one who’d like it.”
“You don’t have to force yourself.”
Just because he caught on a little about the red and blue eyes, did he need to go this far for me?
“Quite honestly, I can’t comprehend what happened here. When you disappeared, Mister Felix and Mister Hesta said they were together,” Dietrich said.
“Is that so?”
“If it wasn’t you… then someone else did this to Erik while they were looking for you and Erik….”
I was grateful that he was considering it up to that point.
“So I’m the only suspect, right? But it wasn’t me. I don’t even know why this happened.”
“……”
“And do you think they would come here? If they really wanted to hide it, they’d leave it here.”
“…What will you say if it gets discovered later?”
“That’s not for you to worry about.”
“I’ve already found it, and I know about it now. How can I not be concerned?”
I remained silent.
Dietrich’s stance was firmer than I thought.
“…Just stay put. I’ll be back shortly.”
I quietly nodded.
Left alone in the room, I decided to stay quietly until Dietrich returned.
After a while, Dietrich came back with a set of clothes.
“…I just grabbed anything. Change into this. I’ll step out for a moment.”
I took the clothes from Dietrich.
“Do you trust me?”
“I’ll hear the details… after you’ve changed.”
“Alright.”
With that response, Dietrich turned around and left the room, and following his instruction, I changed my clothes.
Calling him back into the room, Dietrich asked upon entering,
“Now tell me. What exactly happened?”
* * *
Really though. How did all of this happen?
So, when I was carrying Dietrich while he wasn’t entirely in his senses out of the room, that’s when it happened.
“…Charlotte, Charlotte.”
Perhaps I had left him alone in the room for too long.
He’s become strange.
Feeling slightly guilty as I carried his weight, it was then that we encountered the bandits.
Trouble.
It wasn’t a good situation to show them in this state.
The bandits offered their help. But accepting their suspicious offer was out of the question.
“We’ll help you, Miss Charlotte.”
Despite my refusal, Erik from the bandits kept persistently approaching.
“No, it’s okay.”
Despite saying I’m fine, Erik grabbed hold of Dietrich. I reflexively knocked his hand away.
The corners of Erik’s mouth twisted strangely.
But ignoring that, I dragged Dietrich back into the room.
“…Charlotte,” Dietrich murmured.
“Yes, yes. I know.”
“…Don’t leave.”
He’s really lost it.
“Rest for now, Dietrich.”
“…Charlotte.”
Ignoring his earnest request, I stepped out of the room when,
“Miss Charlotte.”
Erik was standing in front of the room door.
A bad omen washed over me, but I also had something I wanted to try on Erik.
So, I didn’t avoid him on purpose.
[ Failed to bewitch. ]
With a mere 10% chance, there was nothing I could do.
Even though the success rate increased since coming to the second floor, the probability was still embarrassingly low.
Since the bewitching had failed, I planned to seize the next opportunity to discreetly leave, however Erik spoke up first.
“Miss Charlotte, I found something interesting. Would you like to see?”
“Interesting, you say? What could that be?”
At that moment, Erik pulled something out of his chest pocket.
“It’s…”
“Wasn’t that in Mister Dietrich’s pocket?”
It seemed he had stolen it while pretending to help Dietrich.
“Is this the ‘crushed shards’ that Mister Dietrich was talking about?”
“…Please return it.”
To steal someone’s belongings so carelessly. This is why I disliked them.
Smirking wickedly, Erik forcefully grabbed my shoulder and shoved me into a room next to us.
“……!”
“Let’s have some fun.”
I looked at Erik, who had suddenly changed, with indifference.
Despite the suddenness of the situation, I could guess what he was thinking.
“What are you doing, Mister Erik?!”
I tried to shake him off, but his grip on my shoulder was strong.
“You, among all the women I’ve seen, are the most beautiful.”
Erik smirked.
“I thought you were a noble when I first saw you. Or maybe a concubine of some noble.”
“……”
“Your hands are pale and soft. You must have been raised delicately, hm?”
The man who was scanning my body grasped my hair tightly, staring intently at me. It hurts.
“Mister Erik, let go of me.”
“Oh, but I don’t want to. Now that I think about it, you’re quite presumptuous, aren’t you? Why don’t you cry and beg?”
I had thought he would show his true nature someday, but not this soon.
“Hey, aren’t you going to beg?”
“……”
“Cry for me. Cry, will you?”
“Filthy bastard.”
“…What?”
Whack!
I kicked the man’s shin straight away.
“Agh!”
The man who screamed in a low voice let go of my hair and clutched his shin.
Considering whether to hit him again while looking down at the man, I decided to first tidy up my disheveled hair.
The scalp was sore from being pulled.
‘What to do with this guy.’
The idea of somehow coexisting with them made me feel foolish.
“Crazy b*tch! You need a beating to come to your senses!”
How vulgar.
I scowled as I watched Erik charge at me.
Then, at that moment—
The ‘mansion’ attacked the man.
