How does it feel to step into a B-grade horror game? - 29

Episode 29.

“Well, what about these notes?”

“I can’t solve it on my own, but I know how to solve it. Everything on the note is true, so there’s no need to doubt it.”

Pecua grinned, recalling Fidelis’ childhood. That child who resembles Sarha. Pecua was furious when she saw young Fidelis who looked like Sarha. Yes, it was then.

Pecua decided to unleash her renewed anger on him. At first, it was to annoy her outgoing resemblance to Sarha. There was no way Pecua knew that the little boy was innocent.

It was something I started out of anger and half for fun. I didn’t want to end it by using the usual methods and killing him as easily as I had done with Sarha.

So the idea was to send Fidelis to another dimension and decorate the mansion in the form of a popular game there. Sending it to another dimension was, frankly, half spontaneous.

It was also a coincidence that I saw a game there. Pecua watched Fidelis from time to time, and she liked the type of survival game that was popular in her world. Pecua decided to take advantage of it. It was crude, but it was imitative.

“That was another problem.”

Both the skill and the item were set up so that Fidelis wouldn’t die early and bore me, but for some reason, she never got caught in the penalty-ridden skills and items. He was a lucky kid.

Even the skills and items that were once set could not be changed due to the power of the mansion, which made Pecua troubled. It wasn’t fun to just watch them dodge cooking.

The good news was that the way to break the curse would somehow be a great pain for Fidelis.

In a situation that was getting boring, Pecua decided to intervene indirectly. Next to Fidelis, Hakan and Isota were powerful enough to protect her.

It shouldn’t have been. He wanted her to suffer, not to be protected and to break the curse. I had to keep the three of them apart. Use the beth in front. Even more dramatically.

“I’ve never died here because I don’t want to be seen.”

Beth could tell she wasn’t talking to herself. In a jarring remark she didn’t know who she was saying to someone, Beth didn’t bother to ask who it was. Pecua didn’t mean to hear anything from Beth. With a mumbling softly, Pecua got back to work.

“Help me. Then I’ll show you how to break the curse. And I’ll help you unravel.”

“… How can you believe that?”

Beth was vigilant, and Pecua opened her mouth to seduce her.

“Then I’ll show you how to break the curse first. What do you think?”

“I’ll listen and judge.”

“Good. How do I break the curse…….”

The more she listened to Pecua’s smirking whisper, the more joy befell Beth’s face. The closer I compared it with the note I found, the more it became clearer. She wasn’t lying.

It was my chance to get rid of all the nuisances, and it was my only chance to finally get my hands on the rewards. Beth wasn’t about to miss this rare opportunity.

“I don’t think it’s a lie. But I don’t think I have to do that.”

Suspicion fell on Pecua.

“What? That’s no fun.”

Grimacing exaggeratedly, as if asking such a question, Pecua shook her head. I felt a little overwhelmed.

“So what do you want in exchange for me to lift the curse?”

Pecua smiled as if she had been waiting for the question.

“All I want is for you to cut her down to break the curse.”

With a pretentious smile, Pecua uttered a pretentious word.

Pecua frowned as Beth crept behind Fidelis. He didn’t even take him to the last place, he was ready to take his life blindly. Just as she was racking her chin for what to do, Beth stopped.

‘What?’

As she was staring at Beth, she raised her face and glanced at Pecua. Pecua’s expression brightened. She snapped her hand, and a bright light leaked from one of the places.

“Isn’t that light?”

Just in time, Beth pointed to one side in surprise. However, they all neatly ignored it and moved on. Tendons rose from his forehead.

“Maybe that’s where the light leaks out of the note.”

Beth pursed the corners of her mouth to suppress her anger as much as she could, trying not to look strange. Fidelis and the others struggled for a moment.

I figured I’d check it anyway so I wouldn’t be embarrassed later, but the problem was that Beth was the one who found it first. Isota, who was worried, turned around.

“You go in first.”

“Sure.”

With a smile of remorse on her face, Beth opened the door and stepped inside. What appeared to be a large hall was lit differently from other places. It wasn’t just a small light from a candle, it was literally a bright light.

“Look, nothing happened… Hey!”

Speaking confidently, Beth turned around and squealed at Fidelis and the others as they left me alone and strode straight forward.

“Mistress, you’ve been caught.”

Isota, who threw himself away in frustration, turned and walked into the hall. Shion followed Isota closely.

“Aren’t they coming?”

“Don’t talk to me.”

Once inside the hall, Isota began to take a closer look at his surroundings. Shion was rolling his eyes restlessly next to him.

It could have been discovered by accident, but if the subject is Beth, it’s different. He could have been hiding something behind it. Beth grunted at Isota’s gesture and squatted down in a corner.

Pecua was just watching Isota at a leisurely pace. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t beat herself in this. It was the same with Hakan.

“If you leave this space, you never know. Hakan might beat me.’

As powerful as he was, Hakan couldn’t unleash his full power in Pecua’s domain. In this mansion, Pecua was literally a god. Of course, he couldn’t control the mansion itself.

After rummaging around the hall for a while, Isota stepped out of the hole and called for Fidelis.

“Come on, Reese!”

Isota smiled and beckoned, and Hakan hugged Fidelis into the hall. A bright light enveloped the hall, as if the sun were shining on it.

“Is this really the place on the note?”

“I can’t even check.”

Isota muttered softly. Fidelis looked at the scythe behind him and his wrist. Shouldn’t we hurry up and slash his wrists before Isota notices? It wasn’t that hard to scream.

The person being singled out in the note is almost certainly me and Isota, who are of the same blood as Sarha. He clenched his fists and looked at his wrists, and purran veins stood out through his pale skin. I thought I could cut the veins on my wrist with a sickle, drain 40% of the blood as written on the note, and then hurry up and heal it with a necklace. It would have been close, but I couldn’t think of any other way.

Before that, I wondered if Isota and Hakan would be willing to keep quiet about the process.

But he didn’t want to slash Isota’s wrists. If Pecua interfered and things got out of hand, he wouldn’t be able to handle the back-up. No matter what happened, Fidelis wanted to receive it in her entirety. Not Isota and Hakan, but myself.

She glanced at Isota, and she smiled deeply. Fidelis narrowed his brow with an anxious smile.

“No, don’t do it.”

For the first time, Fidelis spoke sharply at Isota. At Fidelis’ resolute words, Hakan and Shion instantly overlapped with Isota.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“That’s what I’m thinking about.”

“What am I thinking now?”

“…….”

When Isota asked him in turn, Fidelis just bit his lip. Isota lowered her eyes, her long lashes casting shadows. A rather chilly voice spilled through Isota’s vocal cords and stuck into Fidelis.

“What I’m thinking about, did my brother do too?”

Fidelis bowed his face. Somehow, I didn’t feel embarrassed to see Isota.

“My only brother. My brother, Reese, whom I love more than anything else in the world.”

Isota, who had been calling her name with tenderness, stepped closer to Fidelis and took her hand.

“Even if I die, you’ll never hurt me in the slightest.”

As Isota said that, trying to grab the scythe behind her, Fidelis snatched her wrist. Fidelis screamed, her eyes filled with tears.

“It’s the same for me!”

Surprised, Isota blinked and made eye contact with Fidelis. Neither of them looked away at the straight encounter.

“I! I’m going to do it!”

In his childlike youth, Isota was quickly defeated by Fidelis. She let out a smirk, her cheeks flushed and her mouth drooped happily as if she was in a good mood.

Ever since they met again, Fidelis has behaved like an adult. He slammed into an invisible wall, and his awkwardness was palpable.

That’s pretty much understandable. A family member who had been separated for a long time and thought was absent showed up, and it was understandable. Still, I couldn’t help but feel bitterness in the back of my mind.

But I never thought I’d be fooling around like this here. For the first time, Isota felt as if the thick wall between him and Fidelis had crumbled.

Fidelis, who seemed far away even when he was close, suddenly became closer. Even the stubborn face with her small lips tightly closed and never backing down was adorable. I missed that kind of foolishness.

Shion looked at Isota’s happy expression and clenched and loosened his fists repeatedly. Even if he was smiling, it was empty somewhere, but now he was full. Shion involuntarily laughed along with her.

“Why are you smiling?”

He quickly turned a blind eye and asked, and Shion turned sullen.

“Why! When I see you laughing, it’s because I like you too!”

Zion grumbled, his heart ache.

[F… See.]

[Hey, idiot?]

“No!”

The denier Shion was busy trying to cover the mouths of Edu and Essie, who were shouting “stupid, stupid” from below.

“I don’t get hurt at all.”

With a necklace, even if I was injured, I could heal quickly.

“Trust me, there’s a way not to get hurt.”

Isota was worried. Of course, he believed in her, but she was nervous. It was just like my eyes when I was doing something reckless. She glanced at Hakan.

“What if it were you?”

“I’m willing to believe anything Reese says.”

Isota’s heart was shaken by his unwavering faith.

“Except in situations where something dangerous is likely to happen.”

My heart stopped shaking. Hakan smiled broadly at Fidelis in dismay.
