Kekkon Shoya no Deathloop~Nosuji Reijou wa Nando Shindemo Megemasen~

"Why do you need a sword?

"In case, to protect the Duke."

……

Me and the Duke have that conversation as we climb the stairs.

"I will take care not to be in contention as much as possible. But if you're in a really dangerous situation, you can leave me and run away."

"... what?

"And no chatting when you're close to the master bedroom. Because they could ask."

Previously, when I entered the master bedroom with my brother, Mr. Risel hid out the window when I heard his brother shout. On second thought, I think it was quite a rush situation even for him.

As a result, we were made vain, and we were slashed down by him without the art of doing it...

Anyway, I just don't want to be enlightened that the Duke is with me. Let Mr. Riselle think I'm only one, and let the Duke know exactly what he did. To do so, we need to use the experience of previous loops to put in place comprehensive measures.

As part of this, the Duke was equipped with a sword. I'm not going to let him fight my best friend, but when it comes to what if, I have the means to defend myself.

My brother shouldn't be strong enough to beat Mr. Riselle, but because of his round hips, he became the feather of kneeling on the ground. I don't know how strong the Duke is, but I very much don't think I can fight Mr. Risel's swordsmanship with my bare hands.

When I first told him to take the sword, the Duke was badly reluctant to "have no reason to wear the sword," but he accepted it when he asked me to be gutsy again and again.

And now he's coming after me with a sword on his hips and a face that hardens his doubts.

Just before the loop started, though I thought it was like an unpleasant man to talk to. If you open the lid and look, the only people who are cooperative with me in this hall were Black Thunder and this guy.

"Mm."

I see the master bedroom door, and the duke leaks his voice. When he told him to shut up with his gaze, he honestly tied his mouth tight.

I rush over to the door and ear for noise. There's no sign of people from inside as usual.

I looked back at the Duke and whispered softly in a whisper.

"First you wait at the entrance until I say it's good to go inside"

"... this is my bedroom."

"Shit!"

Quickly hold the Duke's mouth by hand.

"Please be quiet. Look, you can't go in there until I tell you to."

The Duke makes a face that he says he doesn't understand, but he snorts for once.

Confirming that he would cooperate, I stepped inside as I turned back to the door.

Long time no see in the master bedroom. As soon as the window with the leaking moonlight entered my eyes, my memory of my previous death came back to life, and my body trembled in horror.

—— I shouldn't. If you get too nervous, your body moves slowly.

Mr. Risel is always lurking in the left corner of the room where he has become a blind spot. And you're going to aim straight at my heart as it moves into the back of the room.

I slowly go back, rebelling in my head the tendency of the first blow gained in the repeated battles.

And the moment I took five steps forward. Avoiding the impending murder blade, I made a big leap forward.

"-- that?"

While kicking the floor, see where Mr. Risel is supposed to be.

But instead of the sword, there is no Mr. Risel himself.

When I was surprised and distracted by the unexpected, at some point I was jumping too far and my body crashed against the wall.

"Aww!

Bouncing back, I roll down the floor with my feet taken by a chair that was even nearer. Along with the flashy noise, something broke with Paris.

"What's up!

Even though I didn't say you could come in, the Duke rushes inside. And when he looked at me nodding on the floor, he muttered, "What's up..." again.

"Then jump too far, hit the wall... There he is..."

When I was bored with the pain, the Duke woke me up to help me without saying anything. Or gentle.

Standing up grasping at the Duke's hand, I glance around the dimly lit room.

... Nowhere, there was no sign of Mr. Risel.

"That...... What do you mean…"

Run over to the window and look out, but there's no shadow like that.

I thought you noticed the Duke's presence and hid. I peered under the bed and into the shelves as well. I don't know, I think I've done the same thing before.

"Duke! Is there anything hidden in this room!

"None"

I'll check with the landlord, but a few words of denial came back.

"Then why..."

One last time I look around the room again, but I still don't see any black shadows.

It's just me and the Duke, sitting in a dim room.

"You... what were you trying to do?

Horrible, and so on, the Duke asks.

"Here... Mr. Riselle was supposed to be here."

Upset by the absence of criminals to prove, I answer honestly.

When Mr. Risel's name popped out of my mouth, the Duke made his expression strong.

"Riselle? What do you mean?"

"Ah... it"

I wonder if I should delude you or tell you the truth. But I can't do much longer. Even if we can't show Mr. Riselle the scene of his crime, if we don't tell people who he is, someone other than me could lose his life.

If this happens, I'll have to explain it here.

While I blurred about Loop, I began to tell the Duke about the revelations.

"Mr. Riselle was supposed to be waiting for me here tonight, knowing that the Duke wouldn't be heading to the master bedroom,"

"... what? Riselle?"

"I don't know why, but Mr. Risel is willing to kill me. They're trying to make me a dead man in this room."

"Ma, wait. I don't know what you're talking about."

"I don't even know what that means! I learned about Mr. Riselle today, and I'm not supposed to be doing anything to make you resent me. Does the Duke have any idea?

"No... not at all. It can't be that he's willing to kill you."

To the Duke, nothing in particular seems to hide something. It just conveys the stray of how to chew on my words.

Don't you understand if I ask this man? I had an inner disappointment, but I can't even end the story here.

Somehow, I need you to understand just the truth I have.

"But really, Mr. Risel is trying to kill me! That's not all. I don't know why, but Serenia's involved in this matter, too!

"Serenia? Why is my sister's name here?"

The look on the Duke's face, which was confusing, adds to the seriousness. It's like they say I won't tolerate jokes, and I clog words for a moment.

"... that too, I don't know. But in some cases, Serenia could be harmed..."

"… Are you trying to say that Riselle could harm Serenia"

It was like the first time we had a conversation, it was a cold voice.

I feel like I'm coming here and my distance from him keeps moving away, and suddenly I get anxious.

"I don't think the possibility is... zero. I, too, find it hard to think that Mr. Risel will have Serenia in his hands."

……

"But at least, Mr. Risel is a murderer. This is true. I know it's hard to believe my dear friend is such a person..."

Gradually, my voice becomes butt-shuffy. Everything I'm saying is the truth I've experienced and gained from this. There is no mistake.

Still, in front of the Duke's gaze, he could not somehow argue forcefully.

"I have a sense that I'm saying something crazy. I was asked to come with me to the master bedroom to have a look at the actual crime scene because words alone would surely not convince me... For some reason, Mr. Riselle isn't here..."

I wonder why, only this time, Mr. Risel is not in the master bedroom. Though I thought about it, I have no idea why.

Then I'm a crazy woman who talks about fantasies.

The Duke arms himself to think still and shuts himself up for a while.

I felt my suspicions seep clearly from him, and I was so uncomfortable.

"What the hell is that story based on?

"I can't talk to you about the rationale... I'm sure you won't believe me..."

"... right"

Without even trying to correct my unclear words, the Duke shuts up again.

"Don't be ridiculous," I wait for the next word, frightened inside.

The Duke stared at his feet for a while with a rugged look, but turned his gaze back towards me.

And expression is a serene tone on the back, breaking the silence.

"... I'm sure you're tired"

"Huh..."

"With all the things, there would have been some thoughts about me. Maybe I messed you up badly because of me."

That said, the Duke smiles small like trouble.

A gentle grin like the one I made pierced my chest for some reason.

"... don't you believe me"

"You're a bright, backless person —— you should never do anything that easily disparages others. I'm sure that story, without any ill will on your part, has some reason to think so and you're trying to tell me."

Words without horns line up to hurt me.

"But," the Duke added.

"As I know you are a good woman... I also know that Riselle is a man full of justice, who never hurts a weak person. So —— I can't easily accept that story."

It was like being hit in the head with a blunt instrument. My head gets cranky.

For some reason I stuck my trembling lips to the Duke.

"... me, I'm not lying"

"I'm not doubting you. I just think there's some misunderstanding."

Is there a misunderstanding? I actually confronted him and revealed who he was.

Mr. Risel is still after my life somewhere. Even though that's for sure.

"It's too late tonight. Take the night off. And we'll try to discuss this later. If you talk to Riselle, you'll know who he is."

That said, the Duke puts his hand on my shoulder. The warmth of his hand made me want to cry why.

Even when my brother didn't believe me, I felt terrible.

I wonder why. This man's words of denial seem tender and badly dictate my breasts.

Even though I'm not. Mr. Riselle is an abominable criminal, and I've been tormented by him many times.

When dissatisfaction swells, it swells and emotions overflow all at once.

I don't really know if I'm sad, frightened, or angry.

But the only thing that makes me feel rough is that I can't contain it.

I paid the Duke's hand and shouted out my thoughts.

"I know what a good woman is! You don't know anything about me! Don't pretend like you're the only one who understands!

"... eh"

The Duke takes his breath.

I couldn't stop myself, though I felt like my chest ached when I saw him surprised.

"I know. He said no one would believe me about this story. No matter how hard I tried to tell you, it's all for nothing!

My eyeballs are getting hotter all the time. I only weep, I think, and I meditate strongly on my eyes.

"If you don't believe me, make it clear you don't! It would be more hurtful to be congratulated only on the spot, in unusual terms!

"Katrea...... I am"

"My brother didn't try to believe my words at all. But he tried to make sure I knew exactly why I would say that. Don't flush my words appropriately, even though you didn't like it, you dated me all the time.

I thought you'd try to help me, even if you didn't believe me. "

It's a lie. I was expecting this guy to believe everything over this period.

Knowing his fondness for me, what a sloppy idea he had in his chest that he might accept my words and be on his side.

Such a convenient development, even though there is no way.

This is a complete guess. I'm just bumping my emotions, obsessed with the kindness the Duke showed me.

The Duke said he'd hurt me, but he was careful. This is no different than a child's eclampsia.

When I was impatient and spit out my dissatisfaction, I felt Dawn cooling rapidly.

Neither the Duke nor I can find the words to say and just stand on the spot as frozen. Even though I'm right in front of you, my gaze drifts around the universe without capturing my opponent.

"... sorry. A little too much."

I can't stand the silence. When I say, the Duke shakes his head, "No".

"I'm not trying to understand your feelings —— I'm trying to imitate your appeal by wearing a lid..."

"Enough is enough."

When I'm apologized, I feel like I'm going to get to know him even more, and I overlap words.

"We just met today. My best friends, my master, my sister, the Knights —— you know as much as I do that there are many things more important to you than me. And yet you talk like such an idiot... angry at yourself, sorry"

Surprisingly, even myself, sloppy words overflow.

Even if I calm down, I can't believe I'm throwing up this dialogue. Me, is he like this?

"You're right, you may be tired. Take a night off… I'll think about what I'm going to do"

"... ok"

"See you tomorrow then..."

The Duke nods. Seeing my explosion, I couldn't seem to find the words to put on.

I bow my head and turn my back on the Duke and leave the master bedroom behind. When I went out into the hallway where no one was, I got kind of suddenly thin.... With that said, you've been in the master bedroom many times, but you've never been out of it safely.

Me, how did I get so messed up?

This is the second time you've exploded your emotions against the Duke. Ever since I came to this castle, I just feel mad at that guy.

My chest hurts a lot when I'm reminded of the last painful look on his face I saw. I still want to go back to my room and apologize properly.

But the loop's limit is imminent. There's no time left for me to make up with the Duke right now.

—— Plus, you could inadvertently say mean things.

Arrange reasons not to apologize and convince yourself for now. Yes, I still have something to do.

We couldn't get an ally, but the fight is still going on.

Containing the smoked feelings, I turn to my next destination. The Duke and I went to the master bedroom to get nothing, but we knew what to do next.

Find out where Mr. Risel is.
