I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 43
Chapter 43
The suspicion hidden in her innocent voice pricked my heart. My heart, which had just sighed and calmed down, began to throb again.
“Y-your name?”
“Yes. You kept calling me you. No way, sister….” The child tilted her head slightly and looked up at me. “Did you forget my name?”
“No, of course not! Why would I forget your name?”
“Really? If you’re my best friend, you shouldn’t forget my name.”
“Of course.”
“Then call me by my name.”
My heart sank at her words.
If I tell her that I don’t know who she was, how will the child’s expression change, who is waiting for me to call her name while smiling brightly…
Just thinking about it made me shiver all over.
Calm down.
I met this child for the first time today, but there might be information about the child in ‘Heyna’s’ memories.
I desperately searched my memory.
“You don’t remember my name?”
“Yes. My family always called me hey, you, that. So I don’t remember.”
“Would it be okay if I gave you a name?”
“Yes!”
“Okay. Then from today on, your name is….”
The remaining clues in the fragmented memories gradually took shape. Blurry memories gathered as if they had been waiting for this moment, along with a splitting headache.
My feelings when I gave her a name. The child’s expression, as she was about to jump up and down with joy, came to mind vividly.
Nevertheless, strangely, I couldn’t remember the name.
‘What should I do?’
While I was at a loss, Dekir’s voice rang out.
“What’s the matter*?”
*TL/N: He actually gave her a hint, he used 애냐 (Aenya), an informal way of asking what’s wrong, to give Heyna a hint since the child’s name was Anna, but I’ve got no idea how to translate this to English.
It was an unusually curt tone for Dekir.
‘Wait…’
It came to me in an instant. The name of the child that I, no, ‘Heyna’ had given her.
“Anna.”
A smile bloomed on the face of the child, Anna, when she heard her name.
“You remembered!”
“Of course. I gave you the name, so how could I forget it?”
She was happy just because her name was called once….
Looking at Anna, who was smiling brightly, my heart ached.
“So Anna, will you return Tommy to his original form now?”
I handed Anna the Tommy doll that Dekir had found.
Anna, who had received the Tommy doll covered in dust, lightly tapped the doll’s head with her finger.
“I’m tired of it. I don’t want to be friends with Brother Tommy anymore.”
As soon as Anna finished speaking, poof, white smoke rose. A familiar figure appeared through the smoke that spread like a stage effect.
“Tommy!”
Tommy, who had returned to his human form, collapsed to the floor unconscious.
‘Now’s my chance!’
Now that he was unconscious, it was the perfect opportunity to use the ‘memory eraser’.
The problem was that Anna and Dekir were here with me.
Fortunately, Dekir was looking at the doll display behind him and didn’t seem interested in me at all.
‘He doesn’t even care that Tommy has returned to being human.’
His behavior seemed somewhat heartless.
‘Whatever.’
Dekir’s words and actions had been strangely helpful to me since earlier.
Of course, he had given me my space before entering, and he had also helped me remember Anna’s name.
The same was true now that I was about to use the ‘memory eraser’.
Perhaps Dekir was looking away to give me time to use the memory eraser?
‘No way.’
I shook off the doubt that had briefly crossed my mind.
Why would Dekir do that?
Dekir had been helping me without any reason.
What if the small actions that had made my heart flutter were not out of goodwill, but simply because he had another purpose and was trying to deceive me?
‘Even then, I don’t want to suspect him like that.’
Just as Dekir had trusted and helped me without any reason, I had decided to trust him.
‘Now is not the time to worry about Dekir. I need to distract Anna to use the memory eraser.’
I naturally came up with a way to distract Anna.
“Come to think of it, there are a lot of dolls in this room.”
“Yes! They’re all my friends.”
“Who is your favorite friend among these dolls?”
“Hmm. Wait a minute!”
Anna jumped to her feet, saying she would show me her best friend.
While Anna was rummaging through the box to find her doll, I quickly opened my inventory and took out the memory eraser.
‘I got it out, but how do I use this thing?’
As if in answer to my thoughts, a message appeared.
[Would you like to use the ‘memory eraser’ on ‘Tommy’?]
[Yes] [No]
Wow, I just have to press a button.
