Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 83
Chapter 83

“What am I doing? Hah. I’ve intended to do this from the beginning.”
When Felix said that, Dietrich gritted his teeth as he glared at the other man.
The situation was turning bizarre.
Did Dietrich really think I would be getting a beating from Felix?
Why would he leave the safety of the room and come out here?
Having Felix and Dietrich encounter each other right now was not ideal.
An ominous progression from the game flashed through my mind.
“Why are you doing this suddenly, Mister Felix? Please let go of Miss Charlotte.”
“And if I don’t want to?”
“I won’t stand by idly.”
Felix momentarily trembled under Dietrich’s murderous intent, but that was brief.
He arrogantly raised his chin.
Did he think he could win a fight against Dietrich?
…Or could it be?
At that moment, Dietrich drew his sword, seeming to have made up his mind.
“Dietrich, wait—”
He wasn’t someone who knew how to harm others. The moment Dietrich charged forward, I realized why this situation felt so dire.
Blood splattered.
“……!”
But the blood was Dietrich’s.
He looked at his wounded arm in shock.
“Ahahaha!”
Felix burst into laughter, seeing Dietrich hurt.
He leisurely smiled, pulling his hand out of his pocket, which he had kept hidden since Dietrich’s arrival.
Unlike when he was alone with me, his hand now bore a ring.
“That ring…”
“Yes. It’s Erik’s ring.”
“…So you killed Erik?”
Was this man the culprit?
But Felix just sneered.
“No. It wasn’t me. I had plans to eliminate him if he became a nuisance, but not at that time.”
“…Then how did you get that ring?”
“I picked it up.”
“……”
It was absurd.
Certainly, that ring couldn’t have been easily picked up.
Yet, too many unbelievable events had occurred over the past few days.
“The truth is, I didn’t come here fleeing from the bandits.”
Damn it.
That ominous premonition began to come true.
“Dietrich! I’m fine, so get inside the room!”
“Things are just getting interesting, what are you talking about?!”
I wanted to rush at Felix and knock him out, but it was difficult to act because he had the ring.
“I’m one of the bandits who swept through Owen.”
Damn it.

The figure rose again.
“Let’s have some fun here too.”
“…Did you kill all the people living there?”
“I intended to keep them alive at first, but they were all squawking too much. Too noisy, so I killed them.”
“For such a reason… those innocent people…”
Dietrich’s complexion turned pale.
His dark, purple eyes stared at Felix.
Something felt dangerously off.
[ Darkness: 40% ]
—Grrr.
The sound of monsters approached.
We made too much noise. But Felix, with the ring, remained nonchalant.
Dietrich was in danger right now.
“Don’t move, Dietrich.”
Felix commanded Dietrich, pointing a knife at my neck.
“Do you want to see this woman die?”
Felix withdrew the knife from my body and then pointed it at his own neck.
“Oh, of course, you’re here too. If even a single drop of blood appears on my body, who do you think will get hurt?”
Veins stood out on the back of Dietrich’s hand holding the sword. Struggling to suppress his anger, he tried to appear calm as he spoke.
The man, whose reason seemed entirely flown yet still trying to calm down, looked at me.
“…What do you want?”
“What do I want? Right now, I want to see that expression on your face.”
—Grrrr!
—Grr!
I needed to escape quickly, but it was impossible in this situation.
Monsters swarmed from all sides like clouds gathering.
“Come on! Everyone, gather around!”
Felix shouted louder to draw attention.
“These monsters seem to covet this painting, you know?”
Thunk.
Felix casually threw the painting.
“That’s why I kept it.”
[ Steel Mentality is being implemented. ]
Given the circumstances, I had to make a choice.
I didn’t want to be played with any longer on this artificially constructed chess board that seemed to grant luck to others.
I pushed Felix away with force and ran toward the painting he had thrown.
“You…!”
He reached out hurriedly to grab me, but I had already slipped from his grasp.
