Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 87
Chapter 87

“…You wish to… to embrace me?”
It was an unbelievable request that came from Dietrich’s mouth.
He even used to shudder at the slightest touch from me.
I looked at Dietrich.
The tips of his ears were red.
“I’m happy that you’re alive… So…”
“Okay.”
As I agreed, I opened my arms. Dietrich, who had been blinking at me, cautiously embraced me.
A hug. It’s not so much of a difficult task.
It was just peculiar that this punk, who used to shudder just by touching me, was now doing this.
While Dietrich was holding me, I thought about what would happen next.
The boss battle was coming soon, so I needed to prepare.

The system window also popped up.

Felix crammed himself into a corner as much as possible.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he quickly picked up a knife, which was rolling on the floor, and hid in the closet of the second-floor dressing room.
‘God damn it! What should I do now?!’
He had hidden from the skeletons wearing cross-marked clothes, but he didn’t have the courage to face Dietrich.
The rumors about Sir Dietrich, the esteemed paladin, went far and wide.
A swordsmanship genius that might appear once every thousand years.
Thanks to his excellent strategy, he ended a long-standing war in just a few years.
Why would such an incredible figure be in this mansion?
‘Why has it become so quiet?’
After hiding for a while, he found the surroundings oddly quiet.
But he couldn’t muster the courage to go out and check.
What if it was a trap?
He tried not to relax for a moment, but as time passed, his tension naturally eased.
Just as he was about to push the door of the closet open with some force…
Thud.
“……!”
There was some noise outside.
Felix was startled and quickly removed his hand from the door.
He covered his mouth in fear that his panicked breathing might escape.
Thud—
But the noise gradually got closer.
Unwittingly, tears welled up in his eyes as fear crept in.
Don’t come!
Just as he internally screamed, the door burst open.
“Ah!”
“Felix.”
Felix was terrified and swung the small knife he was holding, but a familiar voice filled his ears.
“E-Erik?!”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“What— It’s you! You weren’t dead?! That woman definitely said you were…”
“There were some circumstances, Felix.”
“What kind of circumstances? Is it safe outside? Are those monsters not roaming the hallways anymore?”
“If they were, could I have come here?”
Reassured by Erik’s words, Felix finally felt relieved.
“You can come out now. It’s really okay.”
“Really?”
Felix barely crawled out of the closet. His legs trembled as soon as they touched the ground.
“Here, take this, Felix.”
“E-Eh?”
Erik handed Felix a ring that was on his finger.
This was…
“It would be better if you had it.”
“How did you… This ring was taken by that guy Dietrich. How did you snatch it?”
Something was odd.
Erik was strong, but he was definitely no match for Dietrich.
And this isn’t the kind of thing he would give away willingly.
So why give it to him now?
“Thanks.”
However, Felix wasn’t in a position to refuse, and he certainly wasn’t one to turn away a treasure that fell into his lap.
As Felix put the ring on his finger, he felt relieved.
But at that moment.
Click.
The sound of metal turning made him turn to the side, and there stood a child holding a ring.
A child?
He had never seen a child in the mansion before.
Startled at the sight, Felix turned to look at Erik.
But the man’s lips had now curled up unnaturally high into a snarl.
“Felix, that child is a devil. He tried to kill me!”
“W-What?”
Such a small child?
