Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 96
Chapter 96
Translator: Yonnee
—
This was the boss’s territory on the second floor.
How did this man tamper with that ring?
I thought maybe there was a hidden boss, but that couldn’t be it.
“But I didn’t kill those vulgar beasts.”
“…If it wasn’t you.”
“There’s another. Besides me, another entity exists.”
Suddenly, I remembered the little kid I saw earlier.
…Could it be.
“That thing killed them.”
“……”
I just remained silent.
He’s lying now.
“You don’t believe me, do you? How unfortunate.”
Of course, I can’t believe it.
“…Why would you do such a thing?”
You’re not supposed to be in this game.
‘Or, was he really not?’
I’ve only been up to the third floor a few times, but can I be certain I know all the routes on the second floor?
‘But he’s never appeared before.’
“Why did you do it?”
The man smiled wryly.
“Well, it’s fun, isn’t it?”
“…Just for fun?”
“Why. Were you very flustered because things didn’t go as you planned? But that’s why it was more fun.”
[ The Second Floor Administrator has recovered. ]
At that moment, the administrator, having spewed a tremendous amount of venom, began to regain its form.
[ The Second Floor Administrator looks at ‘???’ and ‘Charlotte’ and becomes furious. ]
Even though Dietrich had died, the administrator’s anger did not subside.
“If you want, I could kill you, too.”
“……”
I wouldn’t die, but the thought that it might furiously tear my body to shreds crossed my mind.
This was a threat too, but I no longer felt like eliminating the boss.
Dietrich was already dead.
“That punk killed him.”
“…”
“Don’t you want revenge?”
Revenge.
My heart fluttered for a moment. But…
[ Steel Mentality is being implemented. ]
“It’s an unnecessary emotion.”
Right now, I just want to rest.
“Really?”
The man respected my choice, leaving me alone even as the administrator started creating more venom.
It was more of a face saying, ‘do as you please,’ rather than respect.
It seemed he was expecting the moment when my spirit would break.
Then the boss opened its black mouth.
Inside, black smoke filled up.
The bubbling liquid seemed like it would soon dissolve the entire mansion.
Finally, as the boss spat out the smoke.
Something unexpected happened.
Fwick—
A silver flash cut through the boss’s body.
Huh?
[ ‘Dietrich’ has used the item ‘Sweet Taste of Death Teddy Bear (Single Use)’, which was received from the First-floor Administrator, Penny. ]
[ The Sweet Taste of Death Teddy Bear disappears. ]
That…
I had completely forgotten.
It hadn’t been used during the boss battle on the first floor, so it had been in the inventory until now.
I blankly stared at the man who miraculously survived.
“Dietrich?”
My heart stirred.
A sensation I had never felt since being trapped in the grand mansion.
Dietrich, who had slain the boss, approached me.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m okay. You?”
“I’m fine.”
“Ah.”
I had grabbed him as if I were the one who had narrowly escaped death.
“Are you hurt? You look pale.”
“No, no, it’s just…”
It’s just a bit strange. I feel strange.
“…I’m really glad, Dietrich. Really.”
“Were you worried?”
“……”
Probably not.
But strangely, I felt happy.
However, the man looked on contemptuously. Dietrich watched the man with wary eyes.
That was when.
—…I will kill.
The boss, slashed by the sword, stood up as if it would kill everyone.
Dietrich seemed ready to face the boss again, gripping his sword.
At that moment, I was overwhelmed with the urge to hold onto Dietrich.
The blurry gray figure’s face was indiscernible, not even the tips of its hair visible, but it seemed sad.
I wished it hadn’t.
I hope he…
“I’ll be back.”
My wish was not fulfilled.
The boss opened its black mouth, and Dietrich once again charged forward with his sword.
I didn’t want to watch.
[ ‘Charlotte’ shall henceforth be assimilated with the Second Floor Administrator. ]
