How does it feel to step into a B-grade horror game? - 51

Episode 51.

“What a charm exudation. Would you care about this?”

“I like cute, pretty guys! It’s me!”

“Shameless.”

It’s shameless, very.

She mumbled almost liberatedly, shaking her head.

In this space, Alvin, Harold, and Chester felt left out. He pouted his lips behind him and chased after him. Edu and Essie loved looking at Fidelis and didn’t feel left out.

“Alvin.”

No matter how much she was ostracized from the orphanage, she was mainly in charge of her younger siblings, so it was inevitable that her interest would automatically turn to the younger child.

Alvin, who was following behind him, rushed over to Hakan at the sound of a welcoming voice calling for him. Both sides of Fidelis had already been occupied by Hakan and Isota, so he could not be by his side. The only one closest to her was Hakan’s.

“What do you want to do first when you get out of here?”

“I want to eat a lot of meat!”

There was a faint smile on everyone’s face. I wanted this kind of peace. It was a peace I couldn’t dream of in this mansion, but I wanted to have it for a short time.

If you go to the last place and break the curse…

‘No, let’s not think about this now.’

The present was important. No matter what happens, he’ll be back with them.

“You like meat.”

“I prefer vegetables. But for some reason, I just want to eat meat. What do you want to do when you get out of here?”

“Hmm.”

There were so many things I wanted to do. He wanted to see his country with Isota, Hakan, and Shion, and he wanted to make Edu and Essie fulfill their wishes. I wanted to eat something delicious, and I wanted to sleep in after chatting with Isota all day.

Still, what I want to do the most is…

“I want to sit around and have a meal together.”

“Meals?”

At the nursery, she would always take care of everyone else first and then pick up the spoon last. Not to mention the school. Without friends, there was no way she could eat with anyone. I ate alone every time. Even if she was chatting next to her, she couldn’t intervene.

“I’d like to sit down and eat with you. Talking about fun everyday life.”

Fidelis smiled broadly. On the other hand, the smile hurt so much that Isota bit her lip tightly. She had told me everything since she had died and came back to life. I said it casually, but still… His brother was also a man. There was no way he couldn’t help but feel lonely.

There were so many people around me, but there was no one around Fidelis. Isota pulled his face back slightly so she wouldn’t see it. In response, Shion wiped Isota’s clinging tears from his eyes.

“Iso… What about your sister?”

“I, I’m big, I’m ….”

When his throat was choked, he cleared his throat and smiled as he waved his hand with Fidelis as if nothing had happened.

“There’s a lot to do, but to list it in a nutshell… He’s going to put a lot of expensive meat in our mouths, he’s going to buy us a lot of clothes, he’s going to buy us a house, he’s going to buy us a big horse, he’s going to put a lot of desserts in our room. And we have to share the same room, we have to cover ourselves with blankets, and we’ll sing lullabies every night.”

Wishing him so, firmly believing that it would, Isota grinned.

“Ugh.”

His head, which had been slammed against the wall by Hakan, was causing him to feel dizzy from time to time. Staggering once, Astin pursed his lips.

By the time he woke up, he had already disappeared. I was dizzy and couldn’t move for a while. He had just woken up from a break.

Ever since he entered the mansion, Astin’s teeth gnashed in anger. Even if his swordsmanship skills were good, it was useless if he was in such a bad physical condition.

“I’m going to kill them all.”

I don’t forgive all those who insulted me. But he couldn’t think of a plan to bring down the two of them.

“First things first, get out of here. Revenge comes after.”

His jaw tightened through gritted teeth. As I walked ahead, a door opened with a creepy sound.

A middle-aged man with short orange sports hair, a bushy beard, and a rough tanned sun popped out of the gap. The large man had a greatsword strapped to his back. He looked down at Astin.

“Are you a volunteer?”

He asked in a thick voice, looking down at Astin, haughtily. He frowned and looked at the man, but then he remembered. He was a middle-aged man with one more head than the others.

He looked like the tall Hakan, but he was also taller. A middle-aged man with a rugged body and a rough-looking impression waited silently for Asten’s answer.

“Yes.”

He replied briefly, and he strode in front of Asin with his long legs and suddenly held out a large hand. His scarred hands were thick knuckles.

“My name is Eland.”

“My name is Astindelphine.”

Astin, who had greeted him abruptly, clasped his hand. After shaking it up and down once or twice, Eland let it go, baring his teeth and chuckling.

“Why are you laughing?”

A distraught Asin frowned and asked, and he blinked and laughed heartily.

“I’ve never seen a living volunteer. You’re too sharp, by the way.”

When he saw the cranky Asteen, he clicked his tongue slightly. It’s because the first person I’ve met is so young and cheap. Tsk.

If you found a person, it was all a corpse. That’s where one is broken. Some of the corpses had been brutally mutilated to the point of holding a grudge. It wasn’t a big deal for Eland, who had a pretty rough life.

“Have you ever seen a scythe?”

“Scythe?”

Lost in thought, Astin remembered the large scythe Hakan had always wore. Then she glanced at the man.

I couldn’t predict how he would act after I showed him all the cards. Even if he was intact, he couldn’t defeat the man who had been holding the sword for a long time. That middle-aged man was strong.

“Why do you ask?”

“Well… Do you have to take it away?”

“Take it away?”

“You’re here to break the curse. By the way, I think you’re a little short.”

A glance swept through his eyes.

“Are all aristocrats like that?”

As the momentum mounted, Asin hurriedly apologized. At the moment, there was no way to beat him, so he had to pretend to lie flat.

“I’m sorry. Maybe it’s because I’ve been facing ghosts all the time, so I’ve become a little sharper. Excuse me.”

After a polite apology, Eland decided to move on.

“So, didn’t you see the scythe?”

Slightly annoyed, Astin rested his chin for a moment, quietly lost in thought.

Hopefully, you can use it.

Even if he stayed still, the momentum that emanated from his body was formidable. Gnashing his teeth at Hakan and Isota, it seemed to him that Eland was the only one who could fight them on an equal footing.

The men who seemed to have been through the rough winds and storms had outlived them, so they might have had the upper hand when it came to fighting.

Hakan and Isota are strong enough to surpass that, but…

‘Let’s set a trap.’

Even if Eland loses in front of you, don’t let it hurt you.

“I know of a man who has a scythe.”

He scrubbled and examined Eland. Eland stares at Astin, then bares his teeth and sneers.

“Do you know what I’m going to do to it so easily?”

“Aren’t we all competitors from the moment we walked in here?”

“Why are you telling your rival about it?”

“As you can see, I’ve already given up.”

He deliberately showed his wound and frowned as if it hurt. In fact, he was suffering from a wound that wouldn’t heal. Eland smoothed his bearded chin and examined Astin. Seeing this, Asin hurriedly spoke again.

“I don’t know if you know Hakan Declan.”

“Ahh

“…….”

Eland gruffled his face in frustration. I didn’t like Hakan, who believed in his ability and was cocky. His reputation was so great that even the most formidable man knew Hakan. His crumpled face didn’t look good.

“I don’t know what happened, but anyway, that Hakan Declan has it. Do you still want to take it?”

“It’s obvious. It wouldn’t hurt to press the bridge of your nose at this point.”

He replied without a moment’s hesitation. On the contrary, the smirk made me nervous, as if something was going to happen.

“So where’s that cocky bastard?”

“I don’t know about that, but the last time I saw it, it went to the right.”

He pointed his finger to the right hallway, and Eland, aiming for his goal, strode forward, then stopped, and turned around.

“Aren’t you chasing me?”

“Are you going with me?”

“It’s obvious. If it’s a lie, do you think I’ll let you cheat on me?”

An eerie surge swept through Astin through his body. Before I knew it, cold sweat beaded on my forehead and ran down my face. For a moment, he thought he had touched the wrong thing, but Asin hadn’t lied to him.

Eland asked if he had ever seen a scythe, and Asin clearly saw with his own eyes that Hakan had one. I even went to school with him, and I couldn’t forget it.

In a word, there was nothing to be desired. He raised his chin and straightened his waist so as not to look formidable.

“I don’t want to die at your hands, but I’m sure Hakan Declan has.”

“If you’re so confident, take the lead.”

It wasn’t bad for Astin. Seeing the fight between the two in front of him, he could have secretly brought in Isota. On top of that, I was getting worse and worse. If he went alone and met an opponent stronger than himself, the path to the underworld was assured.

He needed someone to protect him. He was about to go find Isota again, so Asin decided to accompany Eland.

No matter how haughtily he raised his chin in the pale complexion, it didn’t pose much of a threat to Eland. One hit with his big hand would knock him down, and there was a big wound on Asten’s forehead. Perhaps that wound was the cause of his pale shyness.

“Who is Hakan Declan with now?”

“Do you know when I tell you?”

“And again, it’s crooked again. Do you really need to educate them here so they can come to their senses?”

Astin’s irritated retort to Erland’s threatening slap on the shoulder. After staggering, Asin pursed his lips and bowed again to apologize.

“This is really the last time, so you’d better behave properly.”

“… I’ll keep that in mind.”

“So who are you with?”

I felt like my pride was being thrown to the bottom. For a moment, he cursed himself for being caught in the wrong way, but if he could get Hakan out of front of him, there was nothing like this. If he broke the curse and left, he would become a nobleman again, so he had to bear this much.

“I’ll start with the personnel. The last time I saw him, there were five of them, including Hakan.”

“Five.”

Eland furrowed his brow as he touched his bushy beard. It was more than I thought. Considering that a few volunteers had died, five was not a small number.

In addition, most of the people who came in here were skilled people. If they attacked all at once, they might be a little tough to deal with.
