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

This will also be Mr. Risel's room for the third time.

Moving back, my brother was no longer there, and the glasses and bottles that were scattered on the table had been cleaned up beautifully. I guess the liquor platter is open.

Should your brother's absence be regarded as good luck or lack of power?

After a bit of a brain conference, a unanimous decision of good fortune was made.

Yeah, it's a good place to interrupt if you have a brother to talk about coming in. If you rely on your brother, and don't say anything stupid, you see an ochi who can force you to leave after he drops a genius trick.

I mean, now is a great opportunity. If I'm alone, Mr. Risel might loosen his mouth.

"So what is it you want to talk to me about?

With another lying smile, Mr. Risel asks.

But that look is obviously tense, and I can tell he's nervous.

Unlike the master bedroom in the barely populated central building, this is Mr. Risel's room. No matter how much he is, he can't easily reach me in this place. I mean, right now, it's a mutual situation.

I made myself clear, telling myself so.

"Mr. Risel. Why are you trying to kill me?"

"--Huh!"

An unspoken surprise leaks out of Mr. Risel's mouth.

Mr. Risel opens his mouth to say, "Why did you do that?" And he laughs dry, as he fixes it right away.

"Ha... ha. I guess I heard wrong. Am I gonna kill you? I'm just kidding. I'm sorry about the scratches."

"I'm not kidding. That must be very familiar to Mr. Risel himself. You were going to ambush and assassinate me tonight, knowing that the Duke was not in the master bedroom. But something inconvenient or unexpected has happened and we are still waiting in this room. … is it not"

With his eyes as if even a creepy monster could see, Mr. Risel looks at me. It's a little too rude for me to point it at the maiden. In his gaze, I looked back at him with both hands together, showing off the gap.

After being unnatural, Mr. Risel shrugs his shoulders to hide his agitation.

"I heard from your brother that you are a very unique woman... but the story seems true"

"From your brother?

Huh? What the hell did your brother tell you? The word unique catches on oddly.

"But it's a little too much. Whatever, you ran away from your room and got the samurai in terrible trouble, didn't you? I know what it's like to be anxious about your first marriage... Repeated actions that go too far may hurt the honor of Crusade and your parents. I'll keep my mouth shut now, so why don't you go back to your room and get some rest?"

Gu. Riselle. Do you still want to hang up on me? As with previous loops, the guard is oddly strong.

He doesn't even try to pack a distance from me, although he's up to calling people with an oversized scream if it strikes him at all.

Are you saying that you are not going to do anything to find out that you are a murderer?

Besides, tell me about me like the retarded woman who got away with being upset about marriage--

Is that it?

"Mr. Risel. How do you know I ran away from my room?"

"... what?

"If I were in this room, I'd run away somewhere and trouble the maid, what a story, it couldn't be in my ear. I'm asking you how you know that."

……

The expression disappears from Mr. Risel's face.

The lukewarm air filled with deception leaves, and the air in the room strains away.

"... it is. Your maid told me. [M] They came to my room to find your place."

"It's a lie. The samurai were searching for me in secret without telling anyone that it would be a problem if the customers knew that I had escaped. They won't ask you where I am at this late hour."

……

"If you still say you heard it, shall we make sure it's true to them? Was it Ines with dark hair who told you about it? Or Petra with chestnut hair?

Mr. Risel does not answer.

He's just staring at me. Is there even a further excuse to think about it? Or laugh and delude again?

But I'm not going to let go of his tail, which I grabbed at the corner.

"Tell me, Mr. Risel. How did you know about my trends? What were you trying to do to me tonight?

Speak up, exchange sights with the murderer.

I confronted Mr. Risel many times. In the loop so far, this is probably the longest time we've had together. But I never had a more serious look at Mr. Riselle's face.

"... you mean that"

With a grunt, Mr. Risel's eyes shake.

He distorts his face as if to grieve badly and slowly sits down to a nearby chair. And as he drooped his elbows, he began to speak in a weak voice.

"You surprise me. I'm the one who wants you to tell me. How do you know I'm trying to kill you?"

Kill, my chest bounces dokun at the word.

Now this guy is certainly trying to kill me, I said.

Through repeated pain and death, the identity of the blackcloth man you grabbed. But even if I could figure out who did it, I couldn't prove his intent to kill him the whole time.

But now, in front of me, Mr. Risel has clearly admitted his intention to kill me.

The truth of death is approaching us.

At some point there was twitching and sweating in the palm of my hand.

"If you tell me why you're after me, I'll tell you how I know this, too"

"Right."

Without eating down, Mr. Risel nods. And I said it pompously and abruptly.

"Do you know how to eat dreams?"

"What? No..."

"About eight years ago, a group of assassins suddenly showed up."

"Ha... ah?

Could it be that I am being ridiculed? I can't believe he's an assassin abruptly.

As a preference for the noble lady, I also sometimes read a bit of adventure novels and strange novels, but the dreameating and doing that Mr. Risel talks about sounds cheap like an evil organization the child thought of, and he doesn't even want to be a novel story.

But Mr. Risel goes on with his big serious face.

"Until then, people with no health problems are discovered by their families in the morning where they are out of breath on the floor of their home.--Eight years ago, such deaths ensued there in the Wang capital.

When you wake up, isn't death coming to you too... People who thought so said they were afraid and had sleepless nights. Then the assassination group became known as the Dream Eaters "

"How can that be murder?"

Though it just sounds like he died so peacefully.

When I think of it that way, Mr. Riselle shakes his head as I see it.

"In the beginning, a lot of people thought like you. The incident was driven out not only by soldiers but also by the Knights, but investigations by them have also cleaned up most of the inexplicable deaths that occurred in the early days due to illness and accidental death. You're just dead, and there's nothing magical, traumatic, or contested.

But from one time to another, strange traits have been added to its death. "

"... what's that?

"It doesn't change the situation that he's dead when he wakes up. But the bodies came together with a distressed look and scratchy marks on their necks. Whatever you think, it would be unusual."

On terms I remember, I lose my word.

That was once seen by me too, just like her death......

"It was as if an invisible assassin had begun claiming that“ this is murder at our hands ”. Naturally, the people involved in the investigation at the time panicked. Suspected homicide has surfaced in a death we've cut ourselves free from abnormality."

"Wait —— wait, please"

I can't keep up with the story, and I keep up with the plea.

Serenia's death face was repeatedly remembered in her head, and her chest was badly damaged with dizziness.

"Yes, all of a sudden, assassination. Yeah. I'm asking you now why you were trying to kill me. Even if they talk like an evil organization that all of a sudden appears in such a trilogy novel...... Or do you think you're part of that organization?

"No, rather the other way around. I've been following them."

"I was chasing...? How could you do that?"

"My benefactor was killed. I was going to clear their minds."

A benefactor, I hear, reminds me of Sir Philardo, Mr. Risel's master. Sir Philardo raised Mr. Risel, who was an orphan.

But that man is doomed. I saw that today.

"Who does that benefactor mean?"

"The former Duke of Vlage and his wife, Crusade and Serenia, are your parents."

… ha.

It was too unexpected a name.

Duke and Serenia's, your parents? Sure, the two of them should have died 8 years ago...... Killed, I've never even heard of it.

"Did your parents get killed? I hear you two died in an accident."

"It wasn't an accident!

Mr. Risel answers my remarks with a sharp, anger-containing voice. But the anger doesn't seem to be directed at me.

When he looked up, he rolled up to blame for something he couldn't see.

"You two were found dead in your wife's bedroom. Do you think it's possible that a couple suddenly get together and catch their breath because of an accident or an illness that was until then health itself?

"Yes, no"

"But that's what the military and the Knights decided. There are no traces of poison. I don't even look like I'm suffering. Whatever this is, he died of an accident or a sudden illness. There were even people who thought," What a happy way to die if a couple lost their lives together on the floor. "

Mr. Risel grips his hand hard. But when he noticed my gaze, he gently hid his trembling fist as he returned to me.

"That said... the death of the couple was an event before the rumors of dream eating spread. Sure, you two are dead with a gentle look... It looked as if I was just sleeping. Even if it seems like an accidental death, it may have been something you couldn't help."

"But. After that, it must have turned out that all of the series of deaths were other killings. Why are you two still being treated like accidents?"

"The king at the time forbade the re-examination of an already processed death. If this death were to be all other killings and crimes committed by the same organization, the people would be afraid and confused. Mischievously disturbing people is nothing more than a threat to the security of the country."

"Why, such a stupid thing..."

"If it was a re-investigation and it was still an assassination, it could also hold people responsible for their involvement in the investigation. If we were to miss the assassination of the Duke's family, the culmination of the title, the blame could also extend to the upper echelons.

... So the king chose only the peace on the upper side over the clarification of the truth. I sheltered the great men of the army and the Knights. "

"Oh no. Couldn't you work for the king with the power of the Duke's house?"

"When the couple died, Crusade was still young. There is no way that the twelve children who suddenly succeeded to the title could have petitioned the King for his opinion and permission to investigate. Until then, the surrounding nobility, known as the Duke, also began to distance himself from the Duke's house as soon as his predecessors died.

… In the end, we could do nothing and the investigation of dream-eating by soldiers and knights also ended with the death of the former king without any fruit "

"So you started your own investigation into the assassination group?

"To be exact, you and Crusade, right? On the day the king died, he said he wanted to find out at least the truth about the death of the couple. Already at that time, the assassination riots were completely silenced and forgotten by people, such as the existence of dream eaters."

"... did you get any information?"

Mr. Risel said nothing and shook his head.

I remember the Duke. He wanted his master to be the head of the Knights. That's because I've had some disappointing experiences with the Knights in the past......

No, not if you're thinking about that guy now.

I was overwhelmed by Mr. Risel's story, but he hasn't told me anything that matters yet.

"I understand your situation.... but from there, how could you possibly kill me? I, I have nothing to do with, nor do I know, the circumstances of such a country or the assassination group. I'm just a daughter of a local nobleman!

He told me to kill you.

Until then, Mr. Risel, speaking bitterly, suddenly pales back.

"Uh," I leaked, he took the dagger out of his nostrils. A murder weapon is held in his hand and a chill runs down his back all the time.

"Kill the bride of the Duke of Vlage. Otherwise, kill Serenia Vlage. … and."

"Who... such, instructions"

"Dream eater."

Yes? Huh? Why is that?

I don't know what that means.

I can't keep up with the development of a dizzying and changing story, and I just stare at the dagger Mr. Risel has so that he can suck it off.

It looks familiar. That's definitely an abominable dagger in your brother's arm. Once that one stabbed me deeply, my brother suddenly couldn't move. Perhaps the blade was poisoned...

"After you and Crusade's marriage was decided, a man came into contact with me. The man named himself one of the dreameaters and brought your murder to me."

"A man? But —— that's all..."

That's all, you tried to decide my murder? Yes, before I ask, Mr. Risel shakes his head.

"You are the woman that Crusade has chosen. It couldn't have been easy to take on, such as an instruction to kill my best friend's bride. Besides, I didn't even know if they were really dreameaters. But..."

Mr. Risel takes the dagger blade out of his sheath and puts it on the light. Cold light reflects and accidentally I turn away.

"The man told me and made me ask how the couple were dying, what clothes they were wearing, how the interior of the room was - as if they were on the spot at the time.... That's not all. He also knew that Serenia was the first to discover the death of the couple."

"Serenia..."

Terrible. Speaking of eight years ago, Serenia shouldn't even be 10 yet.

Such a young boy said he saw his parents die.

"You wanted to prove to me that you were one of the dreameaters"

"Then isn't that really a couple's vendettas! So much so that I was a little threatened, how did you end up with those people!

"Of course, I refused to start! An invisible enemy suddenly appeared in front of me. I also thought if I captured a man, I would expose the whole dream eater thing.

But when I refused, the man happily began to talk about Serenia this time. What Serenia was wearing today, how the interior of the room is, what conversations she has had with me in the past... "

"Wow, that's disgusting. How could you do that?"

"Don't you see? The man wanted to tell me. Dream eaters are lurking in this castle."
