“What are you doing?”

Luna sat quietly without raising an eyebrow.

“I told you. I came because I had a question to ask about the Precious Blood.”

“What is that outfit?”

“Clothing? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Is it a problem to walk around in comfortable clothes at home?”

Luna blinked with an innocent face.

It’s as if there’s a problem with his behavior.

I glanced at her with a disapproving face.

What’s the problem?

The way you dress, the way you speak, and even your hand gestures.

Literally everything is a problem.

okay.

It’s as if he sees Kyle as the opposite sex…

‘… ‘Could it be that he has no self-awareness?’

Yeah, that’s ridiculous.

No matter how crazy Luna is, there is no way she could see Kyle as a person of the opposite sex.

That’s right, Luna still considers Kyle her younger brother.

I guess he’s just acting defenseless to close the distance between himself and Kyle.

Aside from that.

‘Where should I put my eyes…’ .’

Even though it’s a pajamas, isn’t it too transparent and highlights the body?

The tip of my nose is tickled by the faint scent of roses, as if I’ve even sprayed perfume on it.

“… ”

I slowly lowered my gaze from the ceiling.

And once again, I met Luna’s blue eyes.

As always, the look in his eyes is one whose true intentions are unknown.

But why?

The reason why I feel particularly uncomfortable today.

“Kyle?”

Luna slowly tilted her head and asked.

“Where does it hurt? I think my ears are red.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“But is it real? Now, look. What does your face look like now?”

She took out a hand mirror and held it in my face.

Kyle’s face reflected in the mirror had a sharp expression as usual.

‘My ears are turning red, what is that…? ‘

I moved my gaze to Kyle’s ear in the mirror.

And then I realized.

Kyle’s ears were slightly redder than usual.

“Are you okay?”

Luna pulled her upper body forward and looked at me.

“Just tell me.”

“Huh.”

“You don’t know, right? Maybe my sister can help.”

Luna’s face gradually gets closer.

This is a situation that literally makes you laugh.

Luna’s approaching face is so annoying that I can’t stand it.

I reached out and grabbed her face as she approached me.

and.

“Put it away.”

I pushed back with all my might.

Luna lost her balance for a moment and was pushed backwards to the armrest of the sofa.

“Ha… .”

Luna roughly pushed back her hair with a distorted face.

“What is this happening now?”

“If you have any questions about the Precious Blood, just settle the matter and leave. Don’t be a fool.”

“A vain effort? Kyle, what on earth are you misunderstanding?”

Luna sat down and slowly bent her back.

“I just wanted to help you as a sister.”

Then he looked at my crumpled face as if he was admiring it.

“Have you been thinking of something else?”

“What?”

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. I’m not offended at all that you think like that.”

Luna smiled softly as she spoke casually.

A gloomy glow shone in her eyes.

‘You’re really crazy.’

There wasn’t even a drop of blood in the mix, so what happened to my sister?

It was funny how they were so confused without even knowing the hidden truth.

I glared at Luna with a gaze full of contempt.

“Why don’t you leave it at that? I definitely have no intention of living with you as warmly as we are now.”

“But we will continue to meet in the future, right?”

We’ll keep seeing each other?

Is that possible?

I will leave this mansion as soon as I get my hands on the Precious Blood.

“There is no need to be so cautious. No matter what I do, I will definitely put the Precious Blood in your hands, Kyle.”

“… ”

“The duke is said to be leaving the mansion in a few days, so just wait for good news.”

Luna slowly stood up.

“Release the increase. I’m going to leave today.”

She laughed and turned her back.

I sat down and watched her back.

“See you next time.”

Squeak—

When she turned the doorknob, a loud clanging sound rang out.

“My beloved younger brother.”

****

As the days passed, Luna’s behavior became more bizarre.

The clothes you wear, the way you walk, and the way you speak.

Everything was noticeably different from the usual Luna.

Even though he knew he would be rejected every time, he personally came to my room every morning and offered me a meal.

Now, he goes even further and wanders the hallways at night wearing embarrassing clothes.

Even if you go crazy, you should go crazy in moderation.

Same goes for Isabel and Luna.

What on earth happened to them that made them lose their screws like that?

‘Isn’t there a hidden penalty at this level?’

For example, there is a penalty for heroines to suffer from mania as a group.

Otherwise, there is no way to know why they went so crazy.

At this point, I was suspicious that I was the only one who had gone crazy.

Every day I feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

I gritted my teeth and made a promise.

As soon as I get my hands on the Precious Blood, I will leave this mansion without even thinking about it.

The unpleasant days passed.

After a long time, I left the mansion with Diana and headed to the downtown area.

There were still a few days left until the duke left the mansion, and more than anything, it was frustrating to be stuck inside the mansion all day.

At first, I thought about walking around alone, but then I thought of Diana, who would be left alone in the mansion.

I’m bored at the moment, and Diana is the only person I can trust with peace of mind, so it’s not a bad choice.

The schedule is simple.

I need to store all the ore stones I brought with me in the bank, and finish talking with Diana about what happened after I died.

I handed Diana a well-packed box.

“Take care of it.”

“… … This is.”

“It’s an elixir. If you take good care of it and are buried after I die, you can take out my buried body as secretly as possible and feed it the elixir.”

“Then will I survive again?”

“That’s right.”

I handed the elixir to Diana.

At first, I thought about leaving it to Merlin, but there are still too many suspicious corners about Merlin.

The only thing I can do is leave it to the trustworthy Diana.

Diana looked at me without saying a word.

With a slightly darkened complexion.

“… … Do you really have to die, my lord?”

Diana asked slowly.

The voice is polite as always.

“Okay.”

I answered firmly.

Then Diana also reluctantly nodded.

Jumble-jump-

A heavy silence fell.

Diana stood behind me with a complicated face.

I also didn’t say anything to Diana.

How many minutes did it take to walk like that?

Finally, we arrived in front of our destination, a building.

“Go in and keep all of this in a safe in your name.”

“Is this in my name?”

“Yes, four people.”

“… … I don’t understand. Why is it in my name and not in your master’s name…? ”

“Just do as you’re told. Because you’ll need it more than me.”

“… … I understand.”

Diana entered the bank with a depressed face, dragging the ore she had brought with her.

I sat on the bench right in front of the bank building and looked at the sky.

Sunlight poured through the densely overlapped leaves.

The tree branches were swaying in the wind, and the wide open view showed a searingly blue sky.

‘I guess I’ll live a little longer.’

Good thing I got out.

Just being out of the mansion for a little while definitely made me feel better.

◆ Scenario progress

: 60%

Let’s cheer up a bit.

There’s not much left.

The elixir is ready.

In just a few days, the Precious Blood will also fall into my hands.

Yes, there really isn’t much left.

To escape this damned world and return to my original body.

I was lost in thought.

The smell of grass seeping into my nose felt strangely pleasant.

As I slowly lowered my head, Diana, who had just returned from work, looked down at me.

“… What, is it already over?”

Diana nodded slowly.

She was slightly out of breath, probably in a hurry.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Diana looked at me intently and answered in a casual tone.

“I’m worried.”

“Worried? Me?”

“Yes, my lord.”

I blinked my eyes stupidly.

And asked.

“Why?”

Something happens in that short period of time.

Diana read my eyes and carefully chose her answer.

“I was worried that my lord might have disappeared.”

“Why am I disappearing?”

“That’s right… Shouldn’t the lord leave this world?”

Diana’s answer left me speechless.

Diana, looking at my face, pursed her lips several times.

Diana, who had been choosing an appropriate answer for a while, slowly added.

“I… … I want to know my lord.”

“What?”

I want to know myself.

Diana definitely said that.

“What kind of world was my lord originally living in, what kind of life he lived, and what is his goal when he leaves this place… … I wonder. All of that.”

“… … ”

“I know this is off topic, but that’s why I was worried. Before I even got to know my lord properly… … I’m afraid my lord will disappear forever.”

Diana’s sudden sincerity made me speechless, as if I had aphasia.

Was this your original personality?

I thought you were by my side only out of blind loyalty.

“… ”

No, actually, if you think about it a little, it’s obvious.

No matter how loyal a person is, there is no one who can calmly accept being left alone.

Yes, I stole Diana’s future solely for my own purposes.

A golden future in which he will become a knight commander of the empire in the distant future.

And now, with Diana in front of me, all I can think about is leaving this world.

Diana’s eyes were calm as she looked at me.

It’s a look that doesn’t contain any rebuke or resentment.

Only then did I realize it.

That I, too, am no different from those I curse at.

Don’t you hate me?

What do you think of me?

If it’s okay, why don’t you go to my world too?

Black thoughts swirled noisily in my head.

The sound of bugs screeching scratched my eardrums.

“Sit here.”

Diana slowly sat down next to her.

Even then, her eyes never left me.

A slow pulse pounded in my ears.

A favor is just a favor, but a strange feeling disturbed my head.

I didn’t want to know the details.

I felt like I would regret it if I found out.

If I was going to leave the world anyway, I thought there was nothing more foolish than leaving room for regret.

I don’t want to feel like I want to stay in this world even just a little longer.

Because there is nothing more painful than a one-sided feeling that is not reciprocated.

However, I couldn’t stop my mouth from moving wildly.

“You want to know about me.”

“… … yes.’

What on earth are you doing now?

Knowing I would regret it.

“Want to listen?”

Diana’s eyes widened.

I added with a sheepish smile.

“My story.”

A difference appeared in Diana’s eyes.

After a while, the corners of Diana’s eyes gently curved.

“Please.”

Diana’s smile was dazzling when we first met her.

More than the shining sunlight.
