Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 95
Chapter 95
Translator: Yonnee
—
I was not the only one surprised—the boss reacted the same way.
Oh no.
[ The Second Floor Administrator watches the shattered painting in despair. ]
…Wait.
This was a very bad sign.
“Hmm. I didn’t intend to interfere, but I really don’t like this.”
Erik spoke as he dropped the broken painting like trash and stepped on it with his foot.
“I don’t like it.”
Under the man’s shoe, the painting became dirty and tore.
As I watched helplessly, a sharp, cutting energy could be felt from behind.
[ The Second Floor Administrator is getting angry. ]
The moment I recognized the identity of the ominous sensation, the gray figure was enveloped in a dark red aura.
“Charlotte!”
Sensing the ominous sign first, Dietrich pulled me by the waist. At that moment, the dark red energy scattered in all directions.
Drip, drip. Hissss.
The energy turned into liquid, and where the liquid touched, it hissed and melted away.
I blankly watched as one wall melted away without a trace.
—I will destroy everything.
Damn it. The boss was fuming.
However, the actual cause of the incident, Erik, merely smirked as if it was ridiculous.
“You’re not Mister Erik.”
Dietrich, holding me protectively, looked coldly at the man.
Then the man arrogantly lifted his chin and faced Dietrich.
‘Could it be.’
I realized the source of the unease I had been feeling.
The deaths of the thieves…
“You’re the culprit.”
[ Charlotte, maid of this mansion, has successfully identified Erik as the murderer.]
[ Charlotte moves one step closer to gaining Authority. ]
—I will kill everyone!
The enraged administrator shouted.
The deadly voice caused the dark red energy to burst forth from the ground again.
The force of the energy covering the sky seemed unavoidable.
“…Hah.”
Dietrich held me tightly and covered us with his coat.
“I don’t need it.”
I tossed his coat onto his face. I wouldn’t die anyway.
No, I wouldn’t even get hurt in the first place. Dietrich was the problem, not me.
“Still, wear it.”
Though it seemed like an afterthought, Dietrich stubbornly placed his coat over my head.
It would melt anyway.
If hit by that dark red liquid, Dietrich would die.
The railings and floor melted before my eyes had come into view.
Dietrich also seemed tense. However, he always looked ahead.
“Dietrich!”
Dietrich charged forward.
And soon, the dark red energy engulfed the entire second floor.
[ ‘Dietrich’ has died. ]
What?
What I faced was merely the melted remains.
“Ah…”
A groan escaped me unwittingly.
[ Steel Mentality is being implemented. ]
But before I could feel the sadness, a familiar window popped up.
Just before my emotions spread like contamination and I could hardly breathe, the water seemed to drift far away.
However.
Since ascending to the second floor, the lowered 10% had accumulated and tormented me.
[ Steel Mentality is being implemented. ]
[ Steel Mentality is being implemented. ]
[ Steel Mentality is being… ]
Calm down.
It’s just that a man I had been with for a short time had died. It was a relationship meant to pass by…
It’s regrettable that he died, but it can’t be helped.
What can be done if he ran out himself?
It’s just too vain compared to the efforts made.
“Ah, what a pity.”
Then, the man wearing Erik’s shell approached me.
This was a development not found in the game.
“Since when?”
The man tilted his head at my question, as if wondering what I meant.
“Since when have you been interfering with me, with Dietrich?”
“……”
“From the first day the thieves entered the mansion? Come to think of it, it was strange. That ring wasn’t one to be given so easily, and then the chandelier fell…”
The more I spoke, the more everything seemed to fit together.
“Ahaha!”
Laughing at something funny, the man laughed.
“I did leave the ring. And yes, I did drop the chandelier.”
“You left the ring there? How did you…”
