The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me chapter 76

“Selena, we have arrived.”

“…thank you.”

It’s finally arrived. A place you never wanted to get to, where you will be sure of everything.

“Don’t follow me. I’ll go alone.”

“Then, the load…”

“Okay. Leave your luggage alone.”

“yes?”

The maid, who faithfully followed me both in the previous episode and in this episode, is tilting her head. Well, I think it would be like that if I just left my luggage in the wagon.

But, to me right now, these things are meaningless.

“Wow, the smoke…”

“……”

The maid, who was looking at me strangely, pointed to the smoke rising from a distance and said something.

I left behind such a maid and started taking heavy steps.

‘…here, it’s always nice.’

After walking for a while to the Starlight Mansion, I stopped for a moment looking at the surrounding scenery.

‘Originally, coming here only calmed my mind…’

It was the only place I had the happiest memories of, which made it through my childhood full of horrendous abuse and training.

Me and Frey used to play hide-and-seek all the time on this trail to the mansion.

“Serena… where are you going…?”

“Fufu… Well?”

With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes for a while, then opened them to find a young Frey and I playing hide and seek.

“I can’t find it… Hurry up…”

Little Frey started crying when he couldn’t find me hiding in a tree on the way to the mansion for a long time.

“I don’t like men who give up quickly.”

Then the young me smiles and speaks in a friendly way. I can’t see it anyway, so why are you smiling? I was pretty young back then too.

“…Ugh.”

However, young Frey was shocked and began to open his mouth. Seeing his eyes tremble, he seems quite anxious.

“Bar, I’ll definitely find you, so stay there, okay?”

“Yes, please find me. If you can’t find me today, I’ll be gone forever.”

Oh man, that’s too much fun.

“I can’t… I shouldn’t disappear… heh…”

Look, Frey started crying. Even if you play with it, you can play it longer if you play it in moderation…

“…Selena-sama? Why don’t you leave soon?”

“ah.”

When I heard the maid’s voice from behind, the young Frey and I disappeared.

“…ha.”

Again, it is quite difficult to reproduce the memory. If you lose your concentration even a little, it will break.

‘That tree is still there.’

Still, I was able to bring out some pretty enjoyable memories. At that time, Frey couldn’t find me until the sun went down.

Thanks to that, Frey was scolded by his mother that day.

“…I’m sorry, Frey.”

I’m still very sorry about that. But then, I really couldn’t help it.

Of course, I also wanted to tease Frey and see his reaction, but I didn’t want to be discovered by him for as long as possible.

Because, when he finds it, the game is over… I have to go home again.

Then, the terrible time repeats.

“Coo…”

“…ah.”

I’m shivering from the terrible memories of a moment, and my owl flies from far away.

“Yongke also found me. By any chance, the letter…”

“Coo…!”

“…Ouch.”

I smiled and reached out to a friend who had been with me since I was little, and suddenly he started pecking me.

“Don’t do this. It hurts.”

A child who has never even disobeyed my orders, let alone rebellion, is running at me desperately. Thanks to you, the hand that covered my face is bleeding.

“Coo…”

But even so, as I straightened my face and walked forward, he fell all over the floor.

“…Go to the wagon.”

I looked at the owl with a stern expression on my face, spoke with a stern expression, and jumped over it.

“…Whoa.”

I can’t hear any more crying, so it seems like I’m on a wagon. Or are you still lying on the floor?

If you look back, you’ll see which of the two is right, but I won’t look back.

If you look back, you will definitely feel weak.

“The entrance… It’s the same as it used to be.”

So silently walking forward and forward, I finally arrived at the entrance of the Duke of Starlight’s mansion.

“…this is where I first met Frey.”

I still vividly remember my first visit to this place, led by my father, who was the head of the Moonlight family’s secret family and former head of the family.

Perhaps you were embarrassed to see your fiance for the first time, you hid behind your mother, then showed your face with a curious expression on your face.

Until then, I didn’t expect much of you.

Unlike you who were innocent, I was immersed in the dark side of the Empire, and I knew the purpose of the engagement.

“Selena! Let’s play!”

“…I don’t know how to play.”

“Don’t do that! You can just play while doing what you normally do!”

“Is that so… right?”

At first it was just simple jealousy.

Unlike me, who is drenched in darkness, I just hated you, who has a pure and bright face and always looks happy.

“Hey, what is this…?”

“It’s the work papers of the peasant. I play while organizing this.”

“Is this…?”

“It’s an in-depth defense magic circle. I found it the most fun to play while studying this.”

So, I hurt you, who is innocent.

God, what kid would play with something like that?

“Serena! Look! I’m done!”

“…under?”

But after a few months of meeting you, you started to get used to the bullying that pretended to be my playing house.

No, it’s not about adapting, it’s about overcoming it. I’m not up to my level, but I’ve done pretty well.

At that time, I thought you were a genius just like me. And at the same time, I thought you were the only one who could understand me.

“This… what is all this?”

“Ah, I found out. Hehe…”

But one day, when I accidentally walked into your study room and found a pile of papers, I knew it was half right and half wrong.

“You… why…”

“If you don’t know this… I can’t play with you, can I?”

On the paper before it was piled up like a mountain, traces of practicing the difficult tasks I had been given were written in abundance.

You memorized whole knowledge for months to play with me.

“… then I had to get away from you.”

I’ve been thinking about this and that, and I’m almost getting to the mansion.

However, the more I do it, the closer the ending I never wanted to face.

No matter how many letters you send, your reply does not come back.

An owl desperately trying to stop me.

No, the ending you can see in front of your eyes… just by looking at the stinky smoke pillars.

“…ah.”

As you enter the yard of the Starlight Mansion, various people come into view.

Half the people with dark faces and half the people crying.

I stared at that scene for a moment, then stepped onto the lawn where I was playing with you.

“Se, Serena-sama…”

As soon as I entered the yard, someone noticed me and opened my mouth, pale and tired.

“I, I… I mean…”

Someone told me, it’s Aris. She was the secret agent of the head of the secret family.

Seeing you with a pale, tired face and a blank expression on your face, I think you haven’t understood the situation yet.

In fact, it would be difficult for anyone to understand the situation in such a situation.

Ah, I see one person over there who has grasped the situation very well.

He’s scratching his arm with a stone.

“It’s because of me… Because of me… Because of my unhappiness…”

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is the person Frey spoke to in the letter, Lulu. He was said to be a poor man with a brand of misfortune.

As you can see, you seem to think that all this happened because of you. Seeing that his arm is stained with puddles of blood, he must have felt quite guilty.

“”……..””

The commoners all have dark faces and bow their heads. Perhaps if Frey had seen it, he would have been terrified and told him not to do it. It is clearly pictured in my mind.

Oh man, the more I think about Frey, the more I feel depressed. I guess I’ll have to go through it quickly.

“The yard is full of weeping…”

But the more I moved and the more I moved, the more depressed my heart became.

Professor Isolet hugging the letter and crying, Kania with her head bowed and burning dark magic, and Perloche cursed the sun god by radiating holy energy.

Irina smiling almost half-heartedly and Arianne crying while hugging her.

And the princess sitting in the yard and holding a letter with a blank expression on her face.

‘…Really, it’s messy.’

One of the things I hate the most is promiscuity.

So, I have to sort this mess out somehow.

“I’ll be here… I’ll be…”

With that thought in mind, I began to rummage through the envelopes lying on the ground.

“under…”

It didn’t take long to find the letter that was left for me.

Because there was only one letter left in the envelope, and on the outside of the letter was written the following message.

– To my first love.

“…Frey.”

I thought it would never happen, except when Frey was in front of me, for emotions to win over reason… but it wasn’t.

As soon as I see tears flowing from my eyes.

– First of all, I’ll warn you. Stop thinking about treason.

“…Puch.”

As I read the first sentence with tears in my eyes, I burst into laughter at Frey’s pointless joke.

Anyway, the habit of trying to get rid of the serious atmosphere is still there.

– Let’s get to the point. Since it’s game over, I’ll have to do some sort of backtracking. I’m going to tell you the best routes from now on.

“…under.”

With that in mind, as I read the following content, I sighed briefly.

Frey doesn’t even hate the world. He leaves behind all countermeasures for this unfamiliar world.

‘…if that’s the case, it’s useless.’

– …that way, everyone can live for at least three generations. If this doesn’t work for you, escape the Empire and go to the Western Continent. If it’s your talent, then somehow…

“It’s also not convenient.”

With that in mind, all the methods Frey left behind were lousy. At best, it was only an escape from reality, which would only prolong life for a while.

– If all of these methods don’t work for you… Read Arya’s letter. that’s my last hope

After reading these useless plans for a long time, I smiled brightly when I saw the last sentence.

Because what those phrases indicated was consistent with the final conclusion I came to here.

– Ps. Even if you read a letter to Arya… Don’t use the strategy you think it is. It’s an order.

“After all… you were a genius.”

As I was thinking about it, I unintentionally looked at the postscript in the letter and muttered with a sad smile.

It was the first time I had read someone else’s memory. My fiance was also a genius.

“I’m sorry, Frey…”

However, it was still a little lower than me.

“…the magic of absolute obedience has already been solved.”

Saying that, I turned my gaze to a place I had never paid much attention to.

“…Ugh.”

Then, Frey’s mangled corpse caught my eye.

“Uh, uh…”

As soon as I saw the corpse, the princess trembled and raised her arms, so it seems like she did a confirmed kill.

“………”

Besides, it seems that only Professor Isolett knows about that fact. Mr. Perloche has been in a strange condition since before, so I’ll remove it.

– Hurry up!

“…Ugh.”

Oh, I broke my tooth.

I was clearly looking at the situation calmly on the inside, but I must have been grinding my teeth without realizing it.

It makes my lips bleed and my broken teeth swell with bitter pain, but now is not the time to worry about that.

We must end this messy situation quickly.

“…Mr. Arya.”

“Yes, yes?”

“I’ll read the letter. Give it to me.”

With that thought in mind, I reached out to Arya-san.

“Hey, here…”

Then, Arya-san, whose eyes were swollen, handed me a letter with trembling hands.

“No, other than that… a letter with strange characters.”

“…ah.”

After those words, Arya-san pulled out a letter that was tightly folded in her pocket and handed it to me.

“…Dear brother. You have two options.”

When I finally received the letter written in Korean, I began to read the contents slowly.

“Living as a fugitive or as a guardian. One of the two options.”

In the letter that Frey left to Aryae-san, traces of intense thought remained.

“…I hope you will find the Prophets, my father and I didn’t teach you these characters.

It may not be visible to the general public, but it is visible to me. The traces of contemplating whether or not to leave this letter by pressing down on each letter for a few minutes.

“…According to what the former warrior left behind, [a side story novel] exists. To explain it for you… Please note that it is a hypothetical scenario in which you are not sure if it will actually happen.”

However, in the end he left this letter. Maybe it was painful too. To have someone take over your destiny.

“Anyway, according to that uncertain scenario… When I die, you’re the only one in this world who can wear the warrior’s armor in the hidden space of the basement.”

Upon hearing this, Arya-san stopped crying and began to look blankly.

“Of course… you don’t have the ‘power of a hero’ or ‘system’… By the time you can wear it, the whole continent will be on fire.”

“Ahhh…”

“However, if everyone from all over the continent unites… And if you run around as a ‘guardian’ and somehow maximize your good deeds… Maybe the continent will end up burning in half.”

Having said that, I took a deep breath. What follows after this is very important content.

“Of course, choosing that path will open up a very difficult road for you. Although you won’t have to commit an evil deed like me… The chance of dying along the way is quite high, your mind will always be exhausted, and you’ll only get false honors.”

“…Ugh.”

“And even if it succeeds, it will only prevent destruction. It will take hundreds of years for the world to be rebuilt. Even, everything I’ve said now is an uncertain future. It’s not a story from ‘Black Tail Fantasy 2’, it’s a story of a side story. .”

By then I could understand why Frey had written such a hopeless piece of content.

“Anyway, would you dare to choose that path?”

“I, I…”

“…Remember. It’s not anyone’s will. It’s your will, you have to decide for yourself.”

He wanted to give his brother a chance to choose.

“Brother aa…”

Arya-san, who heard everything I said, embraced the letter and began to weep bitterly.

Yes, I think you got it right… Now it’s time to end it all.

“Ahhh…”

I turned to the princess, who was lying on the floor, pale and tired, leaving behind Arya-san, who was crying bitterly.

“Now, I was wrong… I was wrong…”

“Mr. Clana.”

“I was wrong… ugh… I was wrong…”

Her golden eyes were red and bloodshot, and her gracefully decorated hair was messed up.

Seeing that you are holding the crumpled letter so tightly that your hand bleeds, you must have already read all the truth from that letter.

“…the corpse, I didn’t think it was going to be like that.”

I didn’t want to say harsh words to her, but for some reason strange words started coming out of my mouth.

“Doesn’t matter… You don’t even need to confirm the kill.”

Then, Clana began to look at the faces of those around her with a look of terror on her face.

“…Okay. Now that I come back and check it out, what are you going to do?”

Mr. Clana, standing before my eyes, provided the trigger for Frey’s death and mutilated the body.

However, the reason she killed Frey is because Frey stabbed her in the heart the previous time. And, the damage to the body was probably due to Frey’s behavior in the previous episode.

So it makes sense, but…

“Aww…!”

“…Princess?”

Suddenly, Clana grabbed her head and began to moan.

“What, what… this memory?”

“Ahhh.”

“Fray…”

At the same time, I heard a sound from behind, so I looked back carefully and saw quite a few people grabbing their heads.

Everyone is complaining of pain except for the common students, Kania, Irina, and me.

“Hey, what is this memory…”

I was staring at him quietly, and Mr. Clana started muttering with a blank expression on her face.

“I can’t… Then, then, to save me, Frey…”

“…does your memory come back?”

“Se, Serena…”

Only then did I know what the situation was.

As the subject of the amnesia disappears, everyone’s memories have returned to their original state.

Read at https://noblemtl.com

Except for Kania-san, Irina-san, and me, who have already regained their memories.

“……..ha ha ha.”

As I was thinking about it, Clana-san’s eyes died.

It’s like looking into a lifeless doll, which is a bit creepy.

“Mr. Clana. Calm down. Mr. Clana.”

I shook Clana-san like that, but the princess just smiled with thin tears from her eyes.

Apparently, the princess is broken.

“”……..””

And that, as well as everyone else behind it.

They were still crazy people, but I was completely blown away by my memories with Frey.

“Mr. Clana.”

I watched the scene quietly, sighed and sat next to the princess and started talking.

The last thing I have to do, to finish.

“Look at Professor Isolet over there. He’s quietly stroking his sword.”

“…ah?”

“The man who had only been making a blank expression until now is smiling and stroking the sword that Frey gave him as a gift. Do you know what this means?”

As I spoke coldly, Mr. Clana, who had been broken, began to tremble.

“…soon, you’re going to stab yourself in the stomach with that knife.”

“Ahh…”

As I spoke to her relentlessly, a sense of fear appeared in Clana-san’s dead eyes again.

Apparently, shock therapy worked.

“Look at Kania over there. The black energy is about to swallow her up. Next to her are Perloche, who is scratching the floor until her nails are dry, and Irina, who has gone mad.”

“Hey, stop…”

“Aria’s eyes died after remembering the truth about her mother’s death. Not only that, but her mana also flows back. If you leave it like that, it won’t last long…”

“Stop… please…”

But, I stimulated and stimulated her like that.

“In a situation like this, what should Clana do?”

“Mom, I don’t know…”

“Why don’t you know? You’re the leader who leads everyone. If you don’t know, who knows?”

“I… don’t have the qualifications to be a leader…”

Then, Mr. Clana began to mutter with dark eyes.

“I just… I want to die. I want to die like this and disappear. So, so…”

“No.”

I declared… to be heard clearly by Mr. Clana, and everyone around him.

“If Clana and you all fall here, my plan is useless. So… get back up.”

“Come on, what’s the plan…?”

Having said that, I took a vial out of my pocket and started talking.

“There is still hope. Hear from Arya-san. He will make the decision.”

“Selena-san…?”

“Then, I’ll show you my last trick.”

After saying that, I opened the cap of the medicine bottle I was holding and poured the liquid inside my mouth.

“”………””

And, there was silence for a while.

‘Fray, I’m sorry…’

In that silence, I quietly closed my eyes and fell into thoughts.

‘…But no matter how much you think about it, this is the only way.’

Recently, while reading a secret document of the Moonlight family that I obtained secretly… a shocking memory came to my mind.

Only then did I understand why I fell in love with you so blindly, and why I couldn’t give up on you until the end.

I owe you a debt that I can’t pay even if I dedicate my whole life to you.

You must have taken it quite naturally when you entered the academy that you only had 10 years to live.

But, how is that possible?

It was too much to be considered the result of continuing to share life force with Kania, and how did he know that it was ‘exactly 10 years’ in the first place?

The answer lies in your fabricated memory.

Yes, what you remember as ‘the first evil’… a memory related to the curse of my subordination.

“Big Black!!”

“Se, Serena-san!?”

Oh, it’s slowly starting to work.

Have you always vomited blood like this? Oh my gosh, that must have been terrible.

“Serena…? What did you… do you?”

“Ha… ha ha…”

“…what is that magic circle that floated on your body?”

After I sat on the floor for a moment, Clana-san started to look at me with a blank expression.

“I ate poison. The magic circle is a curse on me.”

“…….What?”

“Mr. Frey, who was blocking my curse, dies, and my weakened curse is activated again. After a few minutes, I will become the puppet of the ‘Secret Leader’. So, I commit suicide.”

When I spoke to Clana-san like that with a rapid-fire gun, her expression, which had been constantly blanking out, began to distort.

“Hey, what do you mean… Frey stop your curse? You’re the secret master? You… you’re going to die?”

“Yeah… to make the last tactic I’ve set up for success… I have no choice but to do this.”

“That… what does that mean!!”

Then Clana ran up to me with tears in her eyes.

“Lord, don’t die… Don’t die…”

“Keheuk… uh…”

“Are you going to die for me too? I… I made Frey that way… You too… for me…”

“…Mr. Clana, and everyone else. Listen to me from now on.”

I stopped talking to Mr. Clana, who was in a panic, and I started talking while barely grasping the fading consciousness.

“Don’t let Frey’s death… and my sacrifice be in vain…”

“Oh no… no no no… no…!”

“With the death of the two of us… in your heart and as a milestone… move forward. Don’t give up. Okay?”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!”

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but I think it’s impossible to go further. It’s too hard.

“…just one thing, I’m going to ask you one thing.”

God, the black cat asked me a question. I can’t help it. I’ve heard bad things about him.

“Why… why do you do that? What the hell is this hopeless world… so good for?”

You asked a pretty cute question. Thanks to that, it puts a smile on my face.

“…the world that Frey wanted to protect.”

Ah, I think what you just said will be a will.

Oh, what do you do?

The last thing I wanted was to bury him next to Frey…

.

.

.

.

.

“Se, Serena?”

Serena, who was spitting blood from her mouth while being held in Clana’s arms, drooped, and Clana, not knowing what to do, started gibbling.

“Is that a lie? This… Is this all a ruse you’ve devised? Is it…?”

Those who watched Clana realized the depth of Serena’s last words and remained silent.

“Serena… Serena… Uh…”

Clana, who had been gibbling for a long time, buried her face in Serena’s arms and began to mutter.

“My, I… I… I… Serena… Frey… uh…”

“His Majesty, Princess Clana!! This is urgent news!! One hour is urgent!!”

“…OMG?”

Clana, who had been rubbing her eyes for a long time, shed tears, was startled and trembled when a messenger suddenly came to Frey’s yard.

“No, you’re okay… I’m glad… Uh, huh?”

Seeing her like that, the messenger sighed in relief, but belatedly grasped the situation unfolding in front of him and hardened.

“…Uh, I don’t know what happened… First of all, let me tell you the news.”

The messenger, who had been bruised for a long time, soon realized that this was an emergency and began to deliver the news quickly.

“The Emperor and His Majesty the Empress, as well as the 1st Prince and 1st and 2nd Princesses, have just been killed.”

“…….yes?”

When Clana heard this, her eyes widened and asked a question, and the messenger responded with a firm expression on her face.

“Now it means you are the emperor of this empire.”

“…….ah.”

Everyone, including Clana, was bewildered by the shocking news, but the messenger continued the story with a darker expression.

“And, the Demon King has declared war.”

“……..!!!”

Hearing those words, Clana and everyone froze, and from that moment on, time suddenly began to accelerate.

The sun keeps rising and setting, and the moon comes and goes. People are passing by at high speed.

“ha…..”

And in the midst of it, Frey, who had a gloomy expression on his soul, began to mutter in a melancholy voice.

“…that’s the worst.”

The ordeal was coming to an end.
