The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me 40

“Young Master, why are you staring so blankly?”

As I lay on my bed and stared blankly at the ceiling, Kania asked a question with a mysterious expression on her face.

“Guess it once.”

“…yes?”

When I gave such a quiz to Kania with a blank voice, she asked again with a slightly absurd expression on her face.

“How do I fit that?”

“…Selena just looked into my eyes and met me?”

But when I provoked with a mischievous expression on her face, she frowned and began to approach the bed I was lying on.

“Uh… So, are you looking at the system?”

Then she sat down on the bed, looked me in the eye and answered.

“…After all, Kania is also great.”

Because Kania’s expression was so serious like that, I thought that I had to make fun of her, so I slowly got up from the bed and started talking.

“Yeah, I was watching the system.”

“…But why were you just staring at me? I remember you moving your pupils back and forth when you looked at the system in the past.”

“…Ohh.”

In response to Kania’s sharp question, who was digging into my story, I realized that she was also quite smart, and I continued the story with a happy smile.

“At first, there were a lot of things to do with the system, but unfortunately now I can only do it by looking at it.”

“What does that mean?”

To Kania who once again asked a question with a mysterious expression on her face, I looked at the system window floating in front of me and answered softly.

[System update in progress]

“…the system is under renovation.”

Because of the terrible thing he did at the ball yesterday, when he broke up with Serena and got into the carriage, 3,000 points of false evil came in at once.

And, from that moment on, the system stopped working with only that message displayed.

Thanks to this, I can’t use my usual ‘mind reading’ skill or ‘information search’ skill.

According to the prophecy, when the system is ‘updated’, all abilities except the penalty and quest system are temporarily blocked… Perhaps ‘False evil’s intuition’ is also unlikely to be activated.

‘If the update is over, the system will become quite unfriendly… Really, it is too much.’

Well, anyway, the system will only help you do false evil properly, so it wouldn’t have helped you to break this main quest.

Still, it’s quite a pity that I can’t use useful skills such as information search.

“…Young Master.”

“yes?”

As I was eating again with such regret, Kania suddenly lowered her voice and said:

“Selena is right outside the door.”

“…how do you know that?”

“You don’t know that my black magic, the mana of the sun, the mana of the stars, and the mana of the moon are opposite.

“…that’s great.”

As Kania, whose curse had only been slightly neutralized, was already prominent, I smiled with a happy smile and took a deep breath and opened the door.

“…Maybe you knew I was there?”

“What?”

“You can tell by the speed at which the door opened and the expression on your face. Well, it’s not a great reasoning, so let’s just say this… May I go inside?”

“What’s going on?”

Serena was trying to squeeze me inside, so I grabbed hold of her urgently and asked, she answered with a natural expression on her face.

“Do you need a reason to enter your fiancee’s room?”

“but…”

“…I told you? You’re going to change your mind within a year. So, I’ll always do my best.”

After saying those words, Serena forcibly dug into the room and started checking everywhere.

“Um… the room is pretty clean, isn’t it?”

“…because of various things, there are a lot of cleaners.”

“The janitors seem to be quite good at it. Seeing that there is not a single particle of dust.”

Serena, who was muttering while wiggling the window sill with her fingers, suddenly saw Kania crouching on the bed and opened her mouth.

“So, why are you here?”

“I am a servant of Young Master…”

“Kanya-san, I’m not asking that.”

Serena cut off Kania’s words firmly, sat down by the bed and began to ask questions with a cold expression.

“Are you going to harm Mr. Frey, or are you trying to help?”

“…the latter.”

“Yes, that’s true. Thanks for the reply.”

Kania, who spoke with a lot of nervousness, made a confused expression for a moment when Serena understood so easily, and then started shaking her head.

“Mr. Frey, is this part of your usual cheating?”

“I’ve never cheated on a lie.”

“Again, lies. You’ve gotten pretty good while we haven’t seen you, but you can’t fool me that much, maybe.”

Serena, who unwittingly added ‘probably’ to the end of her words, probably because of the influence of absolute obedience magic, suddenly stopped smiling and said with a cold expression on her face.

“By the way, I don’t know if it was aimed… or just a coincidence, but you picked your opponent pretty well this time, didn’t you?”

“What?”

“Well, a stray cat is always just a thief cat.”

I was staring blankly at Serena, who was uttering unfamiliar sounds, and suddenly Kania quietly opened her mouth.

“…By the way, Serena-san didn’t like cats.”

“Yeah, I hate cats. I love it too.”

Then Kania said with a slight smile.

“I’m sorry about that. Young Master loves cats.”

“Yeah, you just like them as ‘pets’. I don’t know either.”

Serena, who is smiling softly, and Kania, who is smiling sharply, intersect.

I was watching the situation with interest, and suddenly Serena frowned and sat down on the chair, raising her eyebrows slightly.

“…Is it that chronic disease again?”

“Uh, did you just worry about me? Maybe.”

“Okay, get out of this room quickly. Because I don’t want to see the pitiful trembling.”

“all right.”

“No, wait. Stop for a second.”

As I was about to get her out because I thought I could understand the reason why she suddenly collapsed into the chair, I called her up for a moment and gave an order.

“If you start seeing strange things in the commoners’ dormitory, call me immediately.”

“All right.”

“Only for this order, don’t follow it naturally, and think it was my earnest request.”

“yes.”

As soon as she finished the order, Serena smiled softly, and instead of saying goodbye, she said her usual words.

“I love you, maybe.”

After saying that, she turned and started heading out of the dormitory.

“…Young Master, I have a question.”

“What?”

As I looked at Serena with a sigh, Kania, who was next to me, asked me a question.

“From what the Young Master explained to me last night in the wagon, Serena is currently unsure of everything about the Young Master.”

“right?”

As I nodded, Kania asked with a frown.

“Then why don’t you tell Serena-san everything?”

“……..”

“Even if you tell Serena everything anyway, there will be no ‘penalty’ because she will ‘doubt’ it to the end. But, why…”

“…everything has a reason.”

I slowly started explaining the reason to her like that.

“For now, first of all… because of the ‘Trial of the System’.”

“An ordeal of the system?”

“Yeah, because of that ordeal, except for you, the warlock… everyone who ‘worry’ about me will be cursed.”

“…okay.”

As Kania nodded with a firm expression on her face, I sighed and said.

“The only people who are ‘worried’ to me right now are my sister Arya and my fiancee Serena. So I have no choice but to make them not worry about me.”

“So you’re not going to tell Serena-san everything?”

“Yeah, if I tell you everything, even though I’ll be suspicious until the end because of the order I’ve placed… Because the chances of the feelings of ‘love’ and ‘worry’ disappearing are considerably lower.”

As I tried to speak calmly, Kania frowned and opened her mouth.

“But… after the curse is over, you can confide in everything…”

“No, the second reason is her family.”

“…ah.”

As I spoke firmly, Kania began to make a persuasive expression.

“Did you just see her in pain? Seeing that means the ‘Family Subordination’ curse has been triggered.”

“…that’s terrible.”

“In the previous episode, the heads of the Moonlight family were all removed by the Demon King before they decided to get rid of me… But I think I decided to get rid of it sooner than I thought because I proposed to the princess.”

After speaking up to that point and holding my breath for a while, I slowly closed my eyes and continued the story.

“So, if she doesn’t really want to kill me in the future, the intensity of her pain will be incomparable to the pain she felt originally. So, even for Serena’s sake, I must be hated by her.”

“…if Serena-san really tried to kill her, it would be quite difficult, wouldn’t it?”

“How can I survive until I catch the Demon King?”

As I spoke with a bitter smile, Kania sighed and muttered.

“Somehow the whole world seems to be designed to make the Young Master a villain.”

“Yeah, it’s a damn world.”

After looking at the floor with tired eyes for a while, Kania asked a question again.

“But why did you give Serena-san such an order?”

“Such an order?”

“You just told me to report anything that happens to the commoners’ dormitory.”

As Kania tilted her head and asked, I said with a soft smile.

“Don’t you remember when we decided to go out together?”

“…yes?”

“I should be getting ready to go soon. You too, get ready.”

Upon hearing this, Kania opened her mouth with a bewildered expression on her face.

“Yeah, but… The ‘People’s Dormitory Raid’ isn’t over yet? But if me and Young Master vacate their seats…”

“Actually, the reason you go on an outing is because of the raid on the commoners’ dormitory?”

“yes?”

I got up from my seat and put on my clothes.

“It seems that they don’t attack because the ‘attackers’ can see through the surveillance eyes. So, if we, who were monitoring every day, disappear, wouldn’t it be cool to attack?”

“But… if something happens when we’re not here…”

“That’s why I told Serena to call her immediately if she sees something ‘suspicious’. If she’s smart, the ‘attackers’ won’t even notice, and they’ll call us before anything happens.”

“…okay.”

Then Kania nodded her head with a somewhat understood expression and got up from her seat.

“By the way, where are you going?”

“If you get a call, you must return to the academy immediately, so please stay as close as possible…”

I wanted to buy clothes for Kania, who usually only wears suits, so I tried to tell him to go to the nearest clothing store, but,

“Fray!!”

“Ugh!!”

I was terrified when Serena suddenly opened my door and rushed in.

“Selena, you didn’t even knock, what are you doing right now…”

After putting my heart to sleep, I stared at Serena coldly and started talking…

“I found something suspicious.”

“…..!”

She froze as she spoke confidently.

“Did I do well?”

I watched Serena for a while smiling brightly, then sighed quietly and said to Kania.

“…outing, let’s put it off for a moment.”

“yes.”

Apparently, the main quest has begun.

.

.

.

.

.

“what?”

We arrived at the commoners dormitory with a lot of tension, but what was waiting for us was just a peaceful commoners dormitory building.

Usually, when this event occurs, the dormitory is on fire or destroyed… I don’t know what kind of strange feeling is felt in such a good state.

“…Look, it’s weird just looking at it, isn’t it?”

However, Serena pointed to the dormitory with a confident expression and said, and while she was looking at her with a bewildered look, Kania suddenly opened her mouth in a cold sweat.

“…I can feel the terrifying magic.”

At that time, I spread the mana of the stars in all directions with a cold expression on my face, and then I could feel a huge magical power moving around the dormitory.

“You, you know how to use the mana of a star? Why the hell are you hiding it…”

“…forget I just spent my star mana.”

Having grasped the general situation like that, I gave a quick order to Serena, who was talking to me with bright eyes.

“…hmm?”

Serena then gave a blank expression for a moment, then began to tilt her head.

‘…After all, erasing memories should not be abused.’

Then, for some reason, when Serena began to look at me with gloomy eyes, I muttered quietly to myself.

It is an ‘absolute obedience magic’ that obeys the orders of the submissive without any doubt, but if memories are deleted in this way, Serena, a genius among geniuses, may grasp the gap between the deleted memories and become suspicious.

Aren’t you staring at me a little right now? So, I think we should refrain from erasing memories unless it is an emergency.

“Come on, look.”

With that thought in mind, calmly looking into her eyes, Serena, who had already picked up a stone from the ground, threw a stone at the entrance of the dormitory.

– Pavat!

Then, the stone that flew vigorously disappeared like a touch the moment it touched the entrance of the dormitory.

“…presumably, the space inside and outside the dormitory is separated.”

“Yeah, I saw that the stone I threw away disappeared without a trace. Then I’m waiting in front of the entrance for a while.”

After I calmly answered Serena’s explanation that followed, I gave the order, and Kania, who was next to me, spoke urgently.

“I think we’ll have to retreat for now.”

“…why?”

“You don’t know that well. There are no beings who can use this kind of large-scale space magic…”

“…there are only the Demon Lord, or the second-in-command closest to her. I know it well.”

Talking to her calmly, I took something out of my pocket and showed it.

“But, if you have this, there is nothing to worry about.”

“…yes?”

When Kania saw the ‘Stone of Domination’ I took out, she began to make a bewildered expression on her face.

“Isn’t that the ‘Domination Stone’, an item for mind manipulation? I know it well because I overheard the story of the Young Master and the Demon King’s henchmen in the previous episode.”

“…Yes, according to the original scenario, this ‘Domination Stone’ is an item to awaken the brainwashed ‘Attacker’.”

To her, I opened my mouth with a relaxed smile.

“However, the ‘true power’ of this item is not ‘mind control’.”

“What do you mean?”

With Kania tilting her head behind her, I put the ‘Stone of Domination’ back into my pocket and walked forward.

“That’s, I’ll check it with my own eyes later…”

But the next moment, I found something, grabbed Serena and Kania, and threw myself into the grass next to them.

“Do, Young Master? Why?”

“You… what are you doing with this now?”

Embarrassed by the wind, Kania and Serena opened their eyes and began to rebuke me, but…

“…so, what’s the matter?”

“Hurry up! You’ll be late!”

“After all, a variable has been created.”

As Isolet, Perloche, and Clana passed by where we had just been, they quickly shut their mouths.

“Uh, uh?”

Of course, I blocked Serena’s mouth.

– Pavat!

Eventually, the three of them entered the entrance of the commoners’ dormitory, and at that moment, the three disappeared from our sight in an instant.

“Fuha… Frey? What the hell is this? Why do you have to hide like this?”

I was sweating as I watched it, and Serena started asking questions with an expression that she couldn’t stand it any longer.

“…well, you’re not trying to do something bad again, are you?”

Eventually, she looked at me with a desperate expression on her face, so I tried to avoid her gaze and said to Kania.

“Kanya, cast awareness-altering magic around you. Don’t let anyone approach the commoners’ dormitory…”

“I can do that too.”

After saying that, Serena got up from her seat and opened the fan she was holding.

“…Yeah, no one’s going to approach this place for a while. All right.”

“No… But…”

“Tell me. What the hell are you doing over there?”

As Serena continued to question me, Kania, who was looking at me quietly from behind, began to make a sad expression, and I quietly closed my eyes and said.

“It’s nothing. So don’t worry.”

“…I’ll believe you, maybe.”

Then Serena tried to change her expression softly, but her eyes were full of anxiety.

‘…It’s also Serena. If it wasn’t for absolute obedience magic, the game wouldn’t have been possible.’

The first reason why Serena is anxious is probably because she’s not sure about everything about me, and the second reason is because she read lies in my eyes.

Yes. Today, I will subdue the unidentified assailant who borrowed power from the Demon King and take his place.

The reason is that the strategy I came up with to attack this ‘Main Quest’ was the final boss of the ‘People’s Dormitory Attack Case’ by pretending to be brainwashed by the Demon King, then subdued and claimed innocence. Because it is to reveal the identity of the world.

In other words, this case will not be the beginning of the fall of the empire and the debut battle of the Demon King… but the first step towards a blade of counterattack against the Demon King and a happy ending.

“Then, let’s go slowly.”

It’s also the first step in getting Serena to turn her back on me.

“Well, I’ll have to infer it from my own experience.”

“Careful, Young Master.”

With those thoughts in mind, I walked to the entrance of the commoners dormitory with Serena and Kania.

– Pajik!!

“…here?”

“Oh my gosh.”

And the next moment, what unfolded before my eyes…

“Keeeeeeeeeeek!!”

“Koo!!!”

It was the interior of the dungeon-formed commoners dormitory, and the mid-level monsters that started to rush at us at full speed.

“…Are you a fan of the quest?”

Apparently, there seems to be a spell in this episode.
