The Villainess Who Has Been Killed 108 Times

When I woke up, the pain came.

"... when...!?"

Erica, the maid at Countess Rosenthal's residence, moaned with her face frowned.

I don't know how it is but I scrape my whole body. In addition to the tingling pain, it also causes pain. I think I hit everywhere in my body.

From depression, raise your torso to support your elbows.

From the cold and hard feeling, the stone floor... I wonder if this is the basement... it smells like mold and dust, and it smells like animals. I wonder why he was lying here.

"... maybe this is... a remote reservoir...?"

Even though it is a reservoir, few foods are stored. It's a basement like a junkyard.

The customer's mouth became irritated with tingling. The inner cheek is slightly cut.

But the continuum of pain was also evidence that I was still alive.

"... I'm supposed to be dead... why...?"

Earlier, a horrible memory of her own throat slit came back, and Erica shook herself. I don't even know why I did it and if I'm alive.

As her body trembled, Erica hugged herself, bent her knees, and shrunk.

I tried desperately to resist the irrational order to slit my throat myself at first. But as soon as I saw the mysterious glow of the Countess' eyes, I blurred my head like I was wrapped in fog and killed myself with a knife, as I was told.

Even now, I still have the unpleasant feeling of ripping meat in my hands. Definitely not a dream. I remember the tip of the carpet on my fallen cheek and the tingling sensation of wine on my cheeks.

And the tall young man in a dark black academic gown with his nasal glasses shining cold looked down on him as he died. Silver-haired faces appeared to be separated from humans by glasses.

"... reborn to know the beauty of love. Good night. Sweet dreams."

The jokes and manners were playful, but the atmosphere was full of ice. The frowning smile is creepy and I don't know what to do suddenly. Ten of the people who saw him should be anxious and evaluated as dangerous. Erica must have thought so.

Unless he bent, stretched out his long fingers and closed Erica's eyelids. Strangely enough, I felt a human touch from my fingertips. Erica doesn't think that young people are so bad anymore. I mean, where did we meet so long ago...?

I wanted to see what kind of eyes were hidden behind his nose glasses lenses.

The cold in the basement eased slightly.

In the darkness, Erica noticed that her cheeks were getting hot and she smiled bitterly.

It is not a case of such an imagination. I don't know, but it's a lifesaver. We should get out of here before the Countess finds us.

If this is a remote reservoir, I've been here several times. With both hands on the wall, Erica tried to get to the ladder she should have.

... I can't find it. Apparently, the ladder was pulled up.

The only way to get in and out is to push the top plate over your head. There's nothing you can do without the ladder.

Erica was at a loss. It's about two meters to the ceiling. Although the surrounding stone walls are bumpy, it is not a very good substitute for climbing with a woman's strength. It's up to you.

"I can't help it. Now, pile up your desk and chair...."

That way you can reach the ceiling.

The top plate here is movable. If you push hard from the inside even if it is closed, you can open it. The basement should have been furnished on the verge of disposal. In the blind darkness, Erica searched for the legs of her desk with her giddy waist. The moment I felt relieved, the sharp pain ran to the back of my hand.

"... it hurts...!?"

There are countless keys and tall voices. Something ran around the desk and little claws echoed everywhere. I feel my feet groaning.

"... no... ah...!!"

Erica began to scream.

Your hair is upside down against the shadows of rough hair touched in the dark.

A rat. The thick, long snake-like feeling of passing by was the most vicious sign of a rat. That is not the only bad thing.

Erica was almost out of fear.

I realized I was in the middle of a swarm of rats.

This is the cause of the beast smell I've been using.

I tried to escape, but it was too late. Unfortunately, Erica's screams have turned into gold.

The rats that were stabbed turned into a raid at once. The rats jumped into Erica's fleeing body or ran up against her nails. Little rodent fangs broke through the clothes and were pooped into the skin one after the other.

"Ouch!! Stop!! Don't come!!"

Erica waved her hands and feet away in tears with the pain of being hit by a chopstick, but a new group of rats approached without getting tired.

It doesn't work for a fierce flock of small animals like Erica's plea. Excited by the smell of blood, he repeated his relentless wave-like attacks. Erica's body was wet with fear and sweat. I feel incontinent. I realized by the instinct of life that it is the appetite, not the will, that the rats are pointing at themselves.

And the mice that were victorious cried, and slew to my bait (Erica), which had no claws or fangs.

There's no way the rats will miss this treat. It is impossible to keep dodging countless small armies around in a narrow, invisible basement. With a desperate feeling of shrugging her back, Erica found herself cornered by the wall. Everything's off.

Remembering the incident where a baby was eaten and killed by a mouse that used to be a neighbor, Erica cried madly. The tip of the baby's finger, nose, etc. was caught and the skin of the whole body peeled off, turning into a bloody lump of meat. The voice of her mother, who came back from the outside and cried, kept her ears shut.

While Erica was deeply sympathetic to her poor mother and child, she felt strongly that she would never die that way alone. And then I realized that I was feeling a little bit weak.

At that time, I didn't think I was waiting to die the same way as that baby.....

I can't escape anymore. Like that baby, it will be shredded little by little and eaten alive for the worst. You won't die soon. Their skin and flesh will be chewed off and their stomachs will continue to be heard chewing as they are caught in severe pain. The constant pain will not allow me to go mad.

Tomorrow morning, the rats will be digging into their bodies with pieces of flesh in their bones. Even parents don't know the body's Erica.

"... terrible... terrible... why am I..."

Erica sobbed. Despair fills your heart.

To earn the medicine of a sick father, and to support his younger siblings, he went to the princess of the midwife. When I met him, I was hired by a Scarlett maid at the bottom of the Countess Rosenthal mansion, and I fell asleep trembling in the cold compartment. Looking good, he was overrun by a short-staffed parlor maid, subjected to a kettle, and snorted by both his original and new colleagues. Still, because my salary has risen, I've been able to help my parents, and I've been struggling with my teeth.

But it's over. No one will look after you in the dark, and you will end your life by being miserably eaten and messed up.

Like that baby who died right after she was born, no one could help her...!!

The last thing that came into my mind was the face of my beloved family and for some reason that young man in black.

"... Erica!! Where are you!! Answer me!!"

Suddenly, the voice echoed from above was exactly the voice of the young man.

The voice was in a great hurry. I knew you were desperately looking for yourself.

Help is coming!!

Erica, who had given up living, raised her face to begin. The hopes that were about to disappear burst into flames. I couldn't afford to think about why a young man knew his name.

"Help!! I'm about to be eaten by a swarm of rats!!"

"... underground!! The entrance is...!? Oops!! That building is in the way!!... Get out!!"

Erica's screaming and sharp shouting intersected.

The shock waves rocked the entire basement, scaring the swarm of rats that were about to bite Erica.

A corner of the basement ceiling collapsed with the roar, and a young man in black came down with smoke and light. In Erica's dark eyes, a slight moonlight appeared as a light of salvation from heaven. The young man's black suit looked like an angel's white suit. I've never seen anything like it.

"... get back!! Rats!! Don't be afraid of this solomon!! Even a small brain can understand the fear of death!!"

Solomon, a young man in black, sipped the mountain of rats with signs of thunderclouds. It's killing.

That alone made the swarm of rats stuck to Erica in a state of panic. I realized the visit of the mighty. He ran away scattering the Spider's Child with a challenging keykey.

"Ah, um... thank you..."

Suddenly rescued from an unexpected person, Erica sat on the floor and was stunned, but instead tried to thank her.

"... excuse me"

When Solomon thanked him lightly, he approached Erica, turned his hand around his hips and behind his legs, and lifted him gently.

"... hyah..."

Erica, who had never been seen with a romantic princess, did not catch her head in a continuum of surprises, shouted out her voice and swallowed it in haste. But the real surprise awaited ahead.

"... I'll fly. If you don't hold tight, you'll have a concussion."

"Yikes!?"

With Erica in his arms, Solomon jumped.

With so much acceleration, Erica forgot the light and surprise and stuck to Solomon's head in haste. Solomon's black coat dances. The ascent does not stop, as if running up a clear staircase. I jumped out of a broken hole in the basement and went further into space.

The wind blows at night. The moon shines in heaven with loneliness. The tip of the forest trees that I always looked up at was below my feet. The dark forests and countryside spread far away. Village lights dot everywhere. Is it the carriage lantern that is moving?

Erica took a breath.

Erica, who was running around sweating the floor and stairs of the Mansion, had never seen a view before, spreading across it.

I only saw my three knittings shaking at the edge of my vision.

Solomon, who leaps higher than the spire by himself, is by no means a human. The robust, detached stone building that was supposed to be underneath us also blew up as if it had exploded. Solomon destroyed them all in an instant. Even if a dozen engineers were to challenge with the help of horses, it would have been a sturdy building that could not be broken in half in a day. It was a lot of work that would not have been possible without demons.

Under the uninterrupted moonlight, Erica saw Solomon's eyes properly.

Unlike before, Solomon didn't wear nasal glasses. She had strange grey eyes like multiple circles. Exactly out of phase. But the silver hair and the white side appeared very favorable to Erica. I have a strange feeling of pre-vision. For the first time since Erica was born, she was sad that she didn't have the talent to translate her thoughts into words.

Night walks didn't last long.

After several jumps, Solomon gently lowered Erica to the ground, descending on a small hill above the walls of the site of Countess Rosenthal's residence.

"... I can't do this, I didn't know that the maiden's soft skin was defective. It must be suppressed. Please take this medicine only when you have settled down. What, it's a very safe medicine. Your skin will shine even more than before. There are slight side effects."

At a glance at Erica's ragged clothes and her scratchy skin, Solomon sneered with pleasure, hiding his appearance in his hands.

"The other bottle here is the only medicine that can treat your father's illness. Even the family of cursed pharmacists can't cure your father's illness. Don't ride on their sweet talk. This medicine I formulated is the best!! awesome!! Oh, it's fate that both experiments will show up conveniently. The God of Destiny wants to witness a miracle by my hand."

The one who opens his hands and declares his fingers as if they were hooked claws is a lump of softness, no matter how hard he looks. Until now, Erica had a princess and her hands were blocked, so she just said she had to put up with the pose. It's like an actor in a play.

But Erica believed Solomon wasn't lying.

As a testimony, I swallowed my medicine in front of him.

"Well, don't hesitate... aren't you afraid of the side effects?"

"I hear any medicine is poisonous. Solomon said that there were only a few side effects. That's why I'm not afraid. I believe you."

"You're smart. The trust of the patient is the inspiring voice of the doctor. Side effects make you a little sleepy, so watch out for falling asleep and catching cold."

"Thank you very much. But how did Solomon know about my father's illness?"

"Let me tell you, if you study, people approach Almighty. It's not impossible. Nevertheless, a straight maiden comes a lot. That temper sometimes beats a warrior. I liked it. I certify you and your father as experimental subjects of my medicine."

Solomon narrowed his eyes.

Alright? Take this teaspoon once a day before you go to sleep. If your cough subsides, continue until you run out of medicine. And this is the street silver to the house. You and your father are my precious experiment. We have a duty to be convenient and safe. "

It was too much money for the street bank. I was able to support Erica's family for ten years. The medicine is probably expensive enough to pop out of your eyes.

"I can't take it, so much!!... why are you doing so well for me, a stranger?"

Solomon took hold of the goods, wrapping Erica's hands in surprise and pale.

"... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I can't get accurate data unless I'm feeling well. Just take it. Here, too."

And Solomon took out of his pocket a branch with numerous white flowers in the form of a fishing bell, and handed it to Erica. The flower, which also appears to be a Suzuran in the distance, was Erica's familiar shrub-shaped flower.

"... is this...?"

Erica blinked, and Solomon nodded.

"... Erica from the Tsutsuji family. It is the flower of your name that blooms in the winter rocks. An ordinary flower, but a demon amulet with my demonic genius trick. Beasts and villains won't get near you if you wear them. They will protect you during your journey. Experience the miracle of learning."

When Solomon told him that, he quickly turned the hem of his black coat.

"Well, here I am. But I'm busy with this. We'll never see each other again."

"... wait!! wait!!"

When I broke up here, I could never see her again, and Erica screamed unintentionally, stopping the bottom of Solomon who was about to leave. It was driven by strong emotions that I had never experienced in my life before. Solomon has a ruthless atmosphere and perverted behavior. But what you did was sincere. Sticking to Solomon's clothes, Erica burst into tears.

"I don't want to say goodbye without knowing why!! Why are you...? Where are we...? Me... why am I crying...!!?"

I don't know what to say even if I hold onto it, but my feelings are about to explode and my tears stop. Solomon had a slightly troubled face, and gently put his hand on it, and Erika's fingers twitched.

"... Erica is a common tree in the field. However, it is strong enough to withstand the harshness of winter. And they bloom small flowers in the wasteland and heal people's hearts with a gentle fragrance. I once promised a woman... that I would see this flower together again next season. I tried to protect her.... and yet I made a promise..."

Solomon stared at Erica. The expression hardly changed. It was the face that pushed my feelings and killed me.

Erica blinked. For some reason, I felt like a boy much younger than myself was wearing the current tall solomon. I can't remember anything but nostalgia and pain.

"... you know...!!!... you are...!!"

Solomon gently put his index finger on Erica's lips and did not let her speak any more.

"... I talked a little too much. I did this for my boring complacency, I don't care... go home and live a normal and worthwhile life, as the flower name suggests. Neither disease nor poverty that has afflicted you will ever come near you again in the name of Solomon."

Solomon turned his back. The dark black academic gown blew into the night breeze, and Erica's eyes looked sad and sad. It looked like the boy was enduring something behind him.

"... forget about tonight. My darkness is unnecessary for a happy life to come."

And Solomon leaped without a sound, and vanished into the night.

Erica stood on the hill and looked in that direction forever. And the chamber of Erika's flower, which Solomon gave him, was held tightly in his chest as if it were a bond with him.

"... I won't forget what happened tonight until I die... Solomon, a mysterious person..."

And when Solomon lifted him up, and he danced in the night sky in his arms, Erica finally thought of what words she should have put into her chest. A strange young man who will never see him again, even if he is old and his youth disappears to the other side of time, he will remember tonight when he touches him, and he will recover from the feelings he felt when he was a girl.

Erica is the only one on the hill this evening.

Erica believed that God gave herself the opportunity to express her thoughts without disturbing anyone.

"... my prince..."

Very common and embarrassed, that's why Erica put words important to women on her lips small. I repeated it in my chest over and over again. As a precious memory, try to permanently engrave it in your mind.

◇

Solomon runs through the darkness of the forest.

Darkness is no obstacle to him. Nothing in the Night Forest or in the sky can move faster than him. Academic gowns tail like black comets. Trees of both diameters flow backwards with tremendous momentum. All Solomon can come is the three suns and the moon that float in heaven.

Solomon frowned as he took out his spare nasal glasses and put them on.

I think while running at high speed.

"... hmm, that Alisa just kindly told me where Erica is. What are you up to, Alisa... hmm?"

An unnaturally thick fog tried to block Solomon's path. With a white soup, the surroundings become submerged and the field of view becomes equal to zero. Solomon didn't even try to slow down in the fog, which prevented ordinary people from moving a step. With Erica, she slipped into the fog and tore it apart with an unbelievable expression she couldn't see.

"It's not like Alisa. Can I stop playing with children like this? I became a little girl and my mouth became sweet. But it's too late for a prank. No matter how much you think about it, I can't give a shit. I have to punch your ass."

Solomon's mouth is tight. His eyes accurately captured the golden beetles hidden in the trees' periphery, beyond the fog. The fog was an illusion of Alisa's golden worm. I realized Solomon had spotted me and was stupid enough to try and intercept me. Solomon smiled with his nose.

"... are you coming? Stupid. I don't condone Alisa's pets. Perfect. I'll have the bugs with all the tricks cleaned up for my future plans."

Solomon, who was sinking to explode, raised his face.

Solomon was the only one who felt the killing intent, silent and without even the slightest sign.

"... chi...!!"

When you slap your tongue, you jump sideways.

Oops, the wind whirled. A giant beast's nose jumped out of the fog after Solomon, who jumped out in an L-shaped trajectory. The meshed teeth made a strange noise. The extraordinary power and weight reminded me of a cannibal shark that jumped to the surface. It was Solomon who dodged the direct hit with a sharp strike, but his teeth scratched the edge of his clothes and his body spinned. Sparks scatter at the contact point.

Solomon did not move, and turned his back like a begun solitude in the air, regained stability, and landed vividly.

From the fog, four shadows were larger than buffaloes, and appeared as they swayed. It's a strange force that the icebergs are approaching. However, there is no sound at all. Incredibly large dogs surrounded Solomon for some time. Close your legs and look down with cold green eyes.

"... the children of Magic Dog Gulm!! That's Alisa, the foreword is withdrawn. It's always relentless, and it sometimes makes me feel better."

Wipe off the sleeves of the bitten academic gown, and Solomon turns to the beasts and laughs happily.

"I see. It's not a golden worm, is it true? This is tricky for me, too. You can't lay a siege on me without letting me know you're killing me. But anyway, if you could just give me all five of them... I don't see any margaritas, but where did they go?"

And as if he had answered Solomon's question, a white one went forward, and dropped that which he had sucked to show Solomon. The smile of Solomon disappeared from his face.

I rolled on the ground because it was Erica's flower cell.

"... you guys...!!!"

The shape of Solomon was about to change, but I was relieved to find the flower different from the one I gave Erica. A magic dog who dropped flowers from his mouth stepped on the flowers with a huge forelimb. The white demon dog stared at Solomon. Solomon smiled bitterly.

"... the message that if you do anything extra, you'll kill Erica?... I didn't mean to threaten this solomon with one flower. After all, Alisa is nice. Was everything on her palm from the beginning? Okay, let's wait and see. But what does Alisa intend to do when she moves even the Gulm boys to stop me?"

One of the magic dogs, the big black one, slammed his teeth in the face and smiled evilly.

Solomon's eyes were glanced at with a slightly gloomy look. Looks up to heaven. His eyes penetrated through the fog, covered the clouds, and saw the starry sky shining.

"... the fierce star moves. Did you release the Witch of Doom... that cursed gem...!?"

Solomon muttered in dismay. I was surprised that my nose glasses were falling off.

"It's too much to try, Alisa. Are you going to kill Scarlet!? No, if you win, Scarlet and the Hydrangean Royal Family will be totally hostile. What a cruel thing to think about…!! I can't overlook this…!!"

As Solomon stepped forward, four of Gulm's sons stood in his way.

Green phosphorus eyes change all at once and shine brightly.

"'Redemption of Blood'...!! When will you master it!? You will do it next, Alisa...!!"

Though Solomon laughs, he can't hide the slightest haste.

No matter how Solomon is, it is impossible to instantly destroy four of Gulm's children whose physical abilities have been boosted by "Redemption of Blood". Besides, Gulm's children understand each other's will even if they are far away. If the war begins, the remaining Margarm, who is not here, will surely take Erica's life.

And Gulm's boys were reading exactly such Solomon's conflict.

That's why he's not going after Solomon except for the first stop. With their cunning fatherhood, they prioritize their mission over battles where victory or defeat is uncertain.

And Solomon clattered his teeth, and gave up his temper.

Seeing the signs, Gulm's children lifted the siege, turned around and disappeared again in the fog. However, the surveillance of the distant winds continued, and it was clear that Solomon would come from behind as he moved around.

Solomon cried out again to heaven.

"... here's the only way to admit defeat. But, Alisa, destiny has already gone beyond the false loop. Then don't underestimate Scarlet's bond with the five warriors. Stars aren't the only ones moving through the sky. We can't help but react to the main planet's crisis."

Solomon's eyes follow the operation of the starry sky.

"... did you still rush to your fate? Serafi Orange. Protective powers are beginning to be activated. The power to protect the scarlet... try to control everything. And there's another star... Old friends... I left the scarlet to you..."

And Solomon, who was about to walk, stopped.

Suspicion arose in my heart.

The Witch of Doom is the worst for Scarlet before danger. It could blow her stability away from her feet. It gets caught there.

Alisa is certainly not fierce. But I hate Scarlet and I love her deeply. For her, scarlet can be said to be almost everything in life. The only rival to admit it. I wonder if that Alisa would push Scarlet into an absolute trap for no reason. With this halfway stage...

"... that's impossible, that Alisa... this is strange."

Solomon thought about it.

It is possible that the Guardian Star is helping, but the Witch of Doom should not be defeated in the first place. Then Scarlet's future in Hydrangea will be closed.

"... are you trying to get Scarlet to dump Hydrangea?... no... no... is there anything else I don't realize...?"

Solomon was irritated and bit his finger.

Unlike in the "True History" and "108 Times" loops, there is pride in empowering. Now, if you look at Alisa, you'll be able to cross over with Brad, the "true history" of the strongest warrior you've ever known. In addition, I have numerous special abilities and wisdom, as well as knowledge of the future.

But still...!!

Still Alisa... the anomalous genius has been devouring us for a long time and doesn't have enough hands to cross with that monster who has forged us without weariness.

"... I won't forget this time, Alisa. You trampled on the flowers in my heart. No matter how much you think about it, you won't forgive it. So I'll hide the cards I keep from you. You have distorted history too much. I'm not the only one who fixes the time. I've made a decision. I'll help her in private.

"Besides, I'm on the side of the maiden in love. This time I'll let you blossom in a heartbreaking sadness of death without being able to confess."

... hey, Flora.

Solomon called softly in his chest.

◇

Alisa was in a room on the second floor of Countess Rosenthal's residence, looking at the crescent moon at night.

She sat on a chair with a large back and hung her feet out of reach. Relax as grandly as home. A four-year-old stranger is wandering around the mansion, but there is nothing to blame or notice. It was unusual, but if Alisa was concerned, it would have been quite easy. We can do more for Alisa now.

Dresses with blue capes and large waist ribbons that match the color of the eyes are adorable as dolls. Under the slightest moonlight, the blonde hair shines like an angel. Even in the darkness, his face is so cute that everyone can fall in love with him. No mother would dream that such a girl would be her own daughter. However, the blue eyes were still frozen colored more than the ice walls.

"... ahaah, your clever Solomon doesn't know what I'm really after, so I guess he's playing tricks. It feels good for rats sneaking around in the back."

Alisa giggled.

"Now, I'll drag out the big rat hiding behind the ruby. Scarlet's protector, the Light Bats, has sealed it up, and as a night, you'll have to come out. If you don't want Scarlet to be stigmatized as a friend killer. Actors aren't sleeves, they have to be on stage. It's the same as the castle on Cape Hosoya, and even if you're going to hide, I can see it all."

Alisa burst out of her chair and walked by the window.

Reach out to the pleasant moonlight.

"We're done playing hide-and-seek, now let's play. And finally, the big ball of life and death for all of us. Now, who's the poor actor leaving the stage next? In the meantime, I'm going to have a dance first. I don't know if I'm going to break, but I wonder if I can hope for someone to dance with."

With a pale moonlight as a spotlight, Alisa and the photographer lift their mouths to the sun and moon and dance around. The fog builds up in the open air.

A dark ball was about to begin, with all sorts of confounding thoughts.
