The gaze falling through his long bangs toward me, who was looking up at him from a kneeling position, was as clear as the sky on a sunny day instead of the cold gaze as usual. Maybe that’s why his expression, which always felt cold, was mistaken for being gentle. Is it because the sun is shining softly behind Clyde’s back?
It was when I thought that this moment when we were just looking at each other without saying a word was very peaceful and quiet, and a comfortable smile emerged.
Creek!
No one had asked to come in, but the door suddenly opened, and toy soldiers rushed in. Clyde sprang up from the sofa in an instant and stood in front of me. It was an unusual atmosphere.
Step! Step! Step! Step!
When tension was high, a one-legged soldier appeared among the toy soldiers.
“Hello. The lord invited the two of you to the gallery. Would you like to go with me?”
We had no choice. The toy soldiers surrounded us and drew their swords before the one-legged soldier could finish his words.
“I guess the lord here treats his guests like this.”
The one-legged soldier lightly ignored our words and took the lead.
“Follow me.”
I chewed my lips and glanced at the bunch of tools lying on the table. There were scissors.
I can’t believe this happened before I even brought the tools to tear up the painting.
This was a different progression from the scenario. I couldn’t even guess why this scene was created.
We were taken to the gallery surrounded by toy soldiers. In the gallery, Delve was holding a brush dipped in blue paint. He spotted us and smiled broadly.
“Welcome! Thanks to you guys, I can make the blue paint safely.”
The painting wasn’t visible from the direction we were heading.
The gallery had no artwork whatsoever. Instead, it was all about a huge fireplace with wicked flames flying like demon tongues. That fireplace was where the waiters were executed.
When the waiters were tossed into the fireplace and burned, they instantly turned into toy soldiers. It meant that the toy soldiers who were now everywhere were once waiters.
Delve left us standing and carefully painted the painting.
“Phew. I’m finally done.”
He looked at the painting for a while, wiping the sweat running from his forehead. Then he looked at us with an ominous look.
“Ah, sorry. I called you to show you, but I was the only one appreciating it. Can you come here?”
Then, the toy soldiers pushed us against the back. The toy soldier thrust a sword at our necks as Clyde and I approached. It meant to stop.
Delve turned his body with a satisfied face.
“How is it?”
What was painted on the canvas was an angel with long silver hair. The angel had Clyde’s face.
Delve murmured ecstatically. “It’s a painting I’ve been thinking about ever since I saw your painting, Clyde, at school. As expected, it’s beautiful.”
To paint a half-demon in the form of an angel. Clyde’s expression hardened with displeasure.
“It’s a disgusting painting.”
“Isn’t it wonderful? The fact you became the main character of this painting will be the most valuable thing in your life.”
Delve’s eyes turned red. His gaze fell on Clyde’s wrist.
“Because you’re a lazy waiter.”
What? I checked Clyde’s wrist with surprised eyes. However, his bracelet was still hidden from view.
I wondered why this happened, but was it the influence of Clyde being put on standby?
Clyde tilted his head sharply.
“So what? You’re gonna die anyway.”
While everyone was puzzled, Clyde pulled out a dagger that radiated holy power from his arms and rushed forward to tear apart the angel painting.
Riiiiiiip!
Kyaaaaaaaa!!!
A creepy scream shook the castle. Delve held onto his painting and screamed. “Noooooo!”
As soon as the demon-infested painting was torn, the toy soldiers fell to the floor like puppets with broken strings. Clyde tried to kill Delve as well. However, he couldn’t do that because evil spirits erupted from Delve’s body like a huge wave and attacked us.
“Execute the waiters!”
Clyde uttered a cursing word, hurriedly grabbed me, and hid me behind his back. Then, he stretched his other hand forward to create a shield with holy power. Shring! However, the protective shield could not completely block the evil spirits that were coming like black paint and began to crack. Even pushed out of the force, Clyde staggered back.
“Damn it!”
His neck was covered with blood. On that subject, his hand that was holding me was very careful, as if holding glass.
Before we knew it, we were pushed all the way to the fireplace. Clyde was only defending and ended up in a dangerous situation because of me. He might have killed Delve and got out of the dungeon if it wasn’t for me.
I was overcome by a feeling of helplessness. What can I do? I was nothing without the ability to use magic.
“Clyde, your dream was a normal life, right?”
Clyde’s gaze touched me for a very short time and fell. He couldn’t afford to answer back.
“Was it impossible to live a normal life because of me? And yet, all my dreams came true. You’re quite nice, aren’t you?”
I looked down at Clyde’s hand, holding my hands together. It happened to be his left, so I could see the wedding ring on his finger.
“You know, when I thought of it, living a normal life is just like living in some form.”
“I don’t want to hear it. Don’t tell me.”
“Everyone has their own heaven and hell. Isn’t it normal life to go back and forth without an answer? It’s not normal to look for answers.”
Clyde shouted furiously. “Don’t talk nonsense. If you hold on for a while, you will return to reality!”
“I had that worry too. I want to live a normal life. Why am I put in this situation? Why can’t I live like others? When will this suffering end? But now that I think about it, I think that’s what living is like.”
I rolled up Clyde’s sleeve. Then I saw his bracelet, which had been dyed perfectly black. I didn’t notice that it became like this.
Even if Clyde only hid his arm, it was my failure to recall the possibility that the color of his bracelet might change due to the original scenario. Rules that work most forcefully in Delve Dungeon. The one who has a black bracelet must be executed.
The dungeon hadn’t disappeared yet, and Delve was alive, so the rules of the dungeon couldn’t be broken. Only when Clyde dies will this dungeon completely collapse.
“Still, it’s good that I put the setting that allows me to swap the bracelet.”
I swapped my green bracelet with his black bracelet. It was better to do so if I could reasonably afford to buy either one.
The evil spirits changed the target.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The notification sound was exploding as if they hadn’t expected me to make such a choice. Even without looking at the contents of the sponsorship, the embarrassment of the Constellations was transmitted.
This is my last.
“What are you doing?! Change it now!”
I was taken to the fireplace.
“Live well so that I don’t feel wronged.”
After removing the shield, Clyde ran towards me with a distorted look on his face as if he was about to cry.
“Stop! Stop!”
But the evil spirits were faster. They threw me into the fireplace, where a huge fire was soaring.
“Theresa—!”
He reached out fearlessly to me in flames. At this rate, even Clyde could be caught up in the fire in the fireplace. That would be troublesome. I shook off Clyde’s hand, hoping that I would die soon.
