How does it feel to step into a B-grade horror game? - 61

Episode 61.

The Swald family was a man of wealth who could not be ignored, and Hakan Declan was also a monstrous man who became the owner of the Demon Tower at a young age and possessed the greatest magical power of all time. Neither of them knew much about anyone but their own people, so not much was known about them.

“Well, if you go to that tower, will you be able to meet Hakan Declan?”

“Right. But the Demon Tower isn’t usually far away.”

Fidelis’ shoulders slumped. The old lady held back a smile and pointed to the large building, which stood out unusually well.

“Hey, do you see that big building?”

“Yes, yes.”

“It’s not a Demon Tower, it’s a store run by a Demon Tower, and if you go over there and ask them, they might be able to contact you.”

“Uh, really?”

“Normally, I do, but it can be a little hard to get in touch with the Demon Tower Master.”

Still, it was the closest. If it didn’t work, I would have no choice but to walk all day to go to the Swald Street. It would be a long delay, but it was the shortest time.

“Thank you, ma’am!”

“Yes. Cheer up!”

“What? Yes!”

Fidelis, who had somehow been cheered, tilted his head, bowed cheerfully, and ran towards the building that the fruit vendor had pointed to.

As he ran and saw Edu and Essie following behind him, he heard a small scream from the crowd, so Fidelis stopped and glanced at him. Before I knew it, my eyes were focused. Fidelis sat down and whispered to them.

“Edu, can I hug Esie?”

[Yes, it’s okay.]

[Wooh… Walking in Riga… In this case, it is possible to

“I think people are staring at me too much….”

I felt like I was creating a sense of dread.

[In us… Jump… If you’re not… Lida.]

[Sa, people’s poems, don’t worry about the gaze, don’t use it, uh, let’s go.]

Fidelis’ heart sank at Edu and Essie’s consideration of me. Fidelis nodded, patted each of them on the head, got up and ran again. Somehow, it was surprising that there was no warning that even if I ran, my stamina would decrease.

Soon they came to the large door, and Fidelis’ mouth fell wide open. It was so grand that I wondered if I could go in. However, Edu and Essie stepped in to get past Fidelis.

Although he was immediately blocked by the guards.

Although it was called a magic shop, it was possible to hire wizards, and they sold various things such as rare magic tools and scrolls made by wizards.

Nowadays, even items made by alchemists are sold, and the value of the magic shop has increased even more. Naturally, there were many people who wanted to make this place full of expensive items.

As such, security was quite tight. Carl, who was looking at the guard as usual, saw a strange face in his eyes. He was stunned by the two faces as they brazenly tried to enter the door, but the knife quickly blocked their faces and stared down.

Edu and Essie’s eyes were blank as they stared at the sword that had blocked their way. No, should I call it black masturbation? Carl hesitated for a moment, thinking of something absurd. He was momentarily mesmerized by a woman who ran up to him.

She was a beautiful woman. She looked too young to be a woman, but it was too ambiguous to be a girl. As Fidelis moved closer to Carl, he nervously asked, his tone shuffling.

“Are you an alchemist?”

“… What?”

The people who created such monsters and carried them with them were usually alchemists. Fidelis was puzzled by Carl’s sudden question, and when he answered a beat late, Carl cleared his throat softly, blaming his somewhat sharp tone. He spoke softer than before.

“It is forbidden to bring anything that may cause harm. Do you want to leave it behind?”

“Uh, that’s….”

“Hey!”

Fidelis was looking at him in a daze, distracted by the sight of him hesitating, when Phil, who was watching the guard from the other side, rushed over and whispered to Carl in a small voice.

“Look at the color of your hair!”

“Uh, huh?”

“Have you forgotten the Lord of the Demon Tower?”

“Oh, ah!”

A thoughtful Carl hurried to let Fidelis inside. Fidelis could easily take Edu and Essie into the magic shop.

Their behavior was strange, but she was glad to be inside, and she quickly teased her feet, lest the guard change his mind.

He stared blankly at the back of Fidelis as he entered, and Phil tapped him on the shoulder, and he squirmed.

“It was a year ago, so I forgot about it… You’re not going to scold me, are you?”

“Well. I don’t think so. Above all, it may not be the one the Demon Tower Lord is waiting for.”

A year ago, Hakan had ordered all of his employees to let anyone with gray hair and red eyes in the area, just in case. It hadn’t been there in nearly a year, and it was slowly forgotten by the guards. Carl was one of them.

Thanks to Phil’s belated rush, I let her in, but if only I had let her go… Thinking of the demon tower lord’s anger, Carl’s body trembled involuntarily.

“I’m glad you ran.”

“Tsk.”

Phil clicked his tongue and went back to his seat.

He squinted at the two guards who were whispering and hurried inside. In the vast and clean space, I headed to where the guides were sitting in the middle. As they approached the two of them, dressed in neat robes, they both smiled politely and automatically.

“Welcome, sir. What do you need?”

“… Can I meet Hakan Declan?”

The guide’s eyes quickly scanned Fidelis. And when he saw that she looked a lot like what he had said a year earlier, he spoke as kindly as he could.

“I’ll try to get in touch. Can you tell me what your name is?”

“It’s called Fidelis.”

“Thanks for letting me know. Just sit there and wait for a while, and I’ll let you know right after the call is over.”

Moving to where the guide had indicated, Fidelis sat quietly and carefully set the flower down beside her. After smiling kindly again at Fidelis, who was sitting a little further away, the attendant hurriedly pulled out the comm seat.

Looking at Fidelis, the man next to him began to make a fuss.

“Right? The one who spoke to the Lord of the Demon Tower a year ago!”

“I think so, but…”

“Isn’t it the same as what you said to the Lord of the Demon Tower?”

“You’ll know once you get in touch.”

She hurriedly pressed the code on the comm seat to the Demon Tower Master. The comm beamed and a call sounded. Then, as soon as there was a click, a man’s voice was heard.

[Yes.]

“Hello, Rannalph, is the Lord of the Demon Tower by your side?”

[What is going on?]

She smiled slightly at Fidelis as he sat quietly in the distance.

“A woman with white hair and red eyes has arrived.”

[Gray-haired and red-eyed?]

“Yes, he asks me to contact him when he comes to me. To put it simply, a strange monster with only two faces, and a star-patterned pajamas…”

Wudang Tang!

There was the sound of something breaking through the comm stand, and the guide stopped talking. After a moment of silence, he suddenly heard a low, urgent voice.

[What’s your name?]

“Oh, Fidelis….”

Banking.

Suddenly, the lights in the comm stand went out, and the connection was lost. The bewildered guide and the male attendant next to him exchanged confused glances, and Hakan suddenly popped out of the information desk. As soon as I cut off contact, my clothes were matted as if I had moved.

“Where are you?”

Even if the subject was omitted, she could still tell what she was asking. He pointed his finger in one direction with a puzzled expression, and Fidelis rose from his seat as soon as he saw Hakan and met his eyes.

A grinning Fidelis ran up to Hakan. Hakan flinched in disbelief and then ran over to her and hugged her.

“Reese…, Reese?”

“Hakan, I’ve missed you.”

Her small arms and hands burned as if they were on fire. Hakan stammered and touched her face. Fidelis chuckled at the tickle, and he hugged her once more, unable to hold back.

“Uh, how….”

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

“No, no. Nope.”

Hakan’s eyes quickly filled with tears. Fidelis caressed the corners of his eyes carefully. His tears pooled on her hands. Hakan took Fidelis’ hand and brought it to his lips. He buried his lips deep in the palm of Fidelis’ palm.

“It’s real….”

“Go, I’m tickling.”

He pressed his lips to the palm of her hand as he spoke, and Fidelis flinched. Refusing to let go of Fidelis’ hand, he buried his face in her neck.

I could hear her scent and body heat rushing through my mind. He hugged her for a long time in disbelief, touching her face and hands. Fidelis calmly let him do as he pleased.

“Hakan.”

“… Call me back.”

It had been a long time since he had heard a voice that was a little high and pleasant to hear, and Hakan buried his face in her shoulder.

“Hakan.”

“Again.”

“Hakan!”

She smiled brightly and rubbed her face against his chest, and Fidelis’ arms tightened. I wanted to hug her a little harder, but I felt like she was going to break.

I missed you. I thought about it hundreds of times a day. Even in my dreams, she was the only one who appeared. The days went by so slowly that I couldn’t concentrate on my work. He said he would get better over time, but Hakan only got worse and didn’t get better.

I wanted to hold her in my arms, I wanted to touch her, I wanted to hear her voice, I wanted to make eye contact with her and smile, I missed her so much, I wanted to see her screaming my name, I wanted to look at her.

As soon as the curse was lifted and he returned to this place, he told the Magic Shop about Fidelis’ appearance because he didn’t want to let go of the expectation that he would come back. And thanks to that, Fidelis is now in front of me. It was never a dream I had always had.

I could feel everything. The sound of her breath and the sound of her heart, the warmth of her body and her sweet scent are all there.

I couldn’t get out of this embrace. He couldn’t loosen his grip on her. I was afraid it would disappear.

Before he could do that, he wanted to take her to the Demon Tower right away, put her in a place where hundreds of barriers had been erected, and imprison her. Don’t let him leave my side, never let him disappear.

As a strange obsession crept in, Fidelis stroked his hair and muttered softly.
