—
“He’s a devil?”
“Yes. Wearing the shell of a child.”
The voice that burst from Erik’s lips didn’t sound like his own.
Felix felt an eerie sense and looked at him.
Rather than the child…
This man, who Felix had been traveling alongside for a long time now, felt more like a devil to him.
“……”
“Go ahead and pounce, little beast.”
Erik’s tone was strange, and he exuded a certain dignity and arrogance that only those who rule from above possess.
He didn’t seem like the vulgar Erik who Felix knew.
Click—
The child turned the gem part of the ring he was holding.
Then, flames burst wildly from a small hole in the ring.
“Ggh!”
Shocked, Felix was thrown by Erik towards the flames to block the attack.
As the flames reached Felix, who was set up like a shield, the ring activated.
“Hu, huu…”
He didn’t die.
Felix, his heart pounding, glared at Erik.
“Are, are you crazy?!”
“Hmm.”
However, Erik laughed as if he found it interesting.
“Quite useful.”
“Erik! What the hell are you talking about?!”
“Look ahead, Felix.”
At the sudden instruction, Felix looked ahead, but the child was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, there was a small furry ball crouching, as if it was hurt.
“…What the hell is this?”
“It’s her nightmare.”
Erik calmly responded to Felix’s question.
“…What are you talking about now?”
Felix asked, forgetting even to be angry at Erik’s behavior.
His attitude was strange.
“Shall I tell you an interesting story, Felix?”
“…An interesting story?”
“This mansion is filled with ‘her’ nightmares.”
“……”
“Both that thing and I. We’re all her nightmares.”
“…What are you talking about?”
Felix looked at her with a twisted smile.
“A long time ago, a woman summoned a demon.”
“……”
“And so, the mansion was cursed.”
Erik spoke softly and then pulled Felix’s arm with a lazy smile.
Felix didn’t feel the strangeness in his smooth actions for a moment.
“No, I don’t want this!”
“Shh. It’s okay.”
Felix clenched his fist tightly to prevent the ring from being snatched away. Then Erik laughed as if it was a bother.
“Should I cut off your finger?”
Felix hurriedly wrapped his hand that had the ring on it to prevent Erik from taking it.
“You gave it to me! Why are you trying to take it back all of a sudden?”
“Because you’ve already served your purpose. I must take it back now.”
…Served my purpose?
Erik glanced at the furry ball that was apparently unconscious.
Felix instinctively realized.
Was his purpose to be hit by the fire that the child had shot, before he soon transformed into that furball?
“…Then you should have just worn the ring from the start!”
Why go through the trouble of giving the ring only to take it back?
But that was strange.
The ring’s power was random. How could Erik— Or rather, this person, be sure that he wouldn’t be hit?
Everything was full of questions.
Then, the man wearing Erik’s face chuckled.
“It wouldn’t look good for me to get hit.”
Was that the reason?
The man reached out his hand as if to take the ring.
“No, don’t! You, you’re not Erik, are you?!”
“…”
“And if you cut off my finger! You won’t be safe either.”
Felix shouted, knowing the ring’s function. Someone else gets hurt instead of himself. Then…
“Ah.”
But a low laugh came from above. The man laughed as if he found Felix amusing.
“Why, why are you laughing…”
“Unfortunately, that clock tower bastard can’t harm me.”
Clock tower bastard? What does that mean?
“Are you watching, clock tower painter?”
At that moment, Felix felt a stinging sensation in his finger.
Huh?
“Ah!”
“Shush. How noisy.”
The man, annoyed, moved his hand.
Soon after, Felix felt a stinging sensation in his throat.
And Felix could no longer scream.
The man casually walked past Felix’s body, leaving the room.
Outside the door, the man looked down at the unconscious small furball and sneered.
