"The assassin is in this hall?

No way. I don't want to give a shit about the new facts anymore, but I can't stop thinking about Serenia since I listened to Mr. Risel.

I did see that kid out of breath. Besides, with the characteristic of dream-eating and slaughtering left in color.

"Serenia's dead because I wasn't ready."

With Serenia's body, that's what Mr. Risel said.

That was what happened in the loop that broke into his room to find out who Mr. Risel was and uncover his purpose.

I didn't know why Serenia was suddenly supposed to be killed, though. Could that be because I revealed Mr. Risel's identity aloud and the assassin perceived his failure--

"Well, how could you not have tried to catch such a dangerous guy when you knew he was in the hall!

Afraid to think ahead, I absurd my voice.

"There is not one enemy. They're probably lurking all over this mansion. At least, on Serenia's side and yours. They've poked that fact at me with all sorts of hands.

... but we don't know the exact location of the enemy. And yet, if we act on the dark clouds, Serenia will be in danger. They're like even the Dukes in their hands. If I behave inconsistently with them, I will not hesitate to take Serenia's life. "

That's... I know. I actually saw how easily she was killed.

But Serenia and I can't believe there's an assassin lurking near me, even when they say that all of a sudden. I can't accept that story very much, and I don't know what to do. Until earlier, I thought Mr. Riselle was planning my murder by herself.

... and eh?

"By my side, fellow assassins?

"Oh."

Mr. Risel nods as a matter of course.

"Precisely, in your samurai. We don't know how many, but we're sure the enemy's mixed."

"Huh...... That's crazy! How can you be sure that you are among the samurai? Earlier, you said you didn't know where the enemy was!

"Thanks to you, I found out."

"Wow, me?

I feel my head's processing power approaching its limits.

But Mr. Riselle keeps talking about my brain situation.

"When I couldn't resist your murder, they sent me daggers, sleeping pills, and details of your assassination plot.

When the party's over, I'll invite Crusade over and make him drink sleeping pills in his own room. And while he's asleep, he sneaks into the master bedroom and kills you for entering without knowing anything. This is how the plan works. It will be a long and simple crime for an organization that has rocked the country. "

……

Sure, though it's simple.

I don't see how that could lead to a story of assassins mixed up in my samurai.

"However, it is possible that inconvenience could arise when we put Krüsseld to sleep and headed right to the master bedroom. Sometimes unforeseen things happen, like you escape today. [M] So they said, 'I'll send a signal the same day when the bride leaves the room. When I heard that, I was instructed to go to the master bedroom."

"What do you mean, a signal?

Suddenly, Mr. Risel steps on the floor a few times. Hello, and a light noise sounded.

"... that"

"It would be a terribly simple way. I don't know why you were actually going to slap the floor. Anyway, at the right time to head to the room, there were three knocking sounds coming from the top floor of this room."

As a signal used by a vicious assassination group, there are no words in too primitive a way. Besides, if Mr. Riselle's words were true, someone was supposed to send a signal from my room.

"But there was too much unexpected happening. He won't drink a drop of water instead of wine, although it's good to have Crusade in his room, and even though your brother hasn't called, he comes to my room and begins to indulge in an extended drink"

Ugh...... Embarrassing.

"When I couldn't stop Crusade from leaving the room, my blood caught me saying it had failed. But if you rush after him and go see how he's doing, for some reason, go bowl in with Crusade with a blue and white face. I said I'd be spending the night in the library, so I figured I could somehow continue with the plan."

Ugh...... The story stabs me in the chest.

"And I tried to get your brother back to his room and head to the master bedroom. But this time I can't hear the signal for long. I also wondered if there was a signal while I was away from the room for a moment, but for that matter, even shortly after I got back to the room, there was noise from the upper floors —— a noise that sounded for a while, and it was a very unlikely situation that you headed to the master bedroom.... In the end, without understanding the situation, I had to wait here.

Even as dreameaters, it would have been an unexpected streak. I didn't know you were upstairs, but I didn't know you were in the upper room, so I didn't know who the person who was supposed to send the signal was. But you're... quite well. Your brother told me that the sound of a leak from the top was the voice of my sister, so I could decide that the person who sends the signal is in your room —— that is, among the samurai, there are fellow assassins. "

"Then how did you know I escaped the room? You don't know that I escaped, even if I found out there was a fellow assassin among the ladies."

"It's a simple story. As I was saying, your maid told me."

"But the samurai..."

"As I was waiting in my room, 'the bride suddenly disappeared, but haven't you seen her,' one of the maids visited my room. I had my doubts at that point... but I was sure I heard you. Sure, I can't believe the bride escaped, there's no way she'd leak it to an invitee if it was normal. She visited my room pretending to look for you to tell me what's going on."

……

Oh, no.

The ladies who talked to me many times and did my part. Really, there's an assassin in there?

But in the second loop, the samurai were involved, too, and should have been sacrificed. By something like that poisonous smoke......

Now I think the method of killing then was obviously heterogeneous compared to other loops. Was that Mr. Risel's ploy to bury me, the samurai and the assassins in it all together?

But Mr. Risel, who fears an assassin so invisible, acts so bold...?

More questions overflow.

They seem to be pointing to kill from all over, and I don't know why anymore. Why should I be targeted for my life by an assassination group whose name I didn't even know?

But I can't escape the truth. If Mr. Risel's words are true, I need to know for sure who his assassins are.

"Who is the samurai who came to the room? And Mr. Riselle."

There is a shock that my words are blocked before I say everything.

I didn't know for a second what happened.

After a few seconds, the back of my head and back began to hurt slightly, and I understood that I was being pushed to the floor. Right in front of me is Mr. Risel with a knife, and my mouth is covered with his left hand.

It was only a few more seconds before I realized that Mr. Risel had pushed me down to the floor.

"... sorry"

In a voice that is going to cry out now, says Mr. Risel.

I try to scream, but only the pitiful sound of things comes out of the edge of my mouth, inhibited by big palms.

"One, nothing changes where the assassin is found. The only way to protect Serenia is for me to sin."

"Mmmm! Hmm!"

What should I do? I was too distracted by the story to be on my guard at some point.

This guy doesn't care about my story from the beginning, he's been asking about this gap.

Pity. Really pity. How could I have thought so smoothly in front of someone who had killed me many times?

"Even if I kill you, it only pleases the dream eaters and the people behind them. It won't solve anything. But --"

Mr. Risel doesn't say it till the end, he cuts the words.

The guys behind you? You still have enemies? Enough is enough. I don't know how many more loops I have left or if I have the next one in the first place.

I stare flashly at the cutting edge of the blade as it does not fit into my head and turns to information that circles around me. At the same time, Mr. Risel strengthens the hand holding the knife.

It was then.

"-- What are you doing"

From behind Mr. Riselle, I can hear a man.

Mr. Risel stretched his body tight and slowly looked back.

I feel my hand holding my mouth loose and I only manage to wake up my head.

Soon, the door to the room was open.

At the entrance, the Duke stood.
