Chapter 5 - Her Strategy
Since then... I was looking at the transparent blue sky from the room window. When I sat down on the bed, I looked at the candle while thinking...
(I wonder if there's something that Drei-san likes besides games...)
Although, nothing came to mind about what Drei-san would enjoy.
(...I'll try asking him himself.)
MC: Drei-san.
Drei-san was at his usual spot.
Drei: Do you need something again?
MC: Drei-san, is there something that you want?
Drei: Something that I want...? What do you mean?
MC: Eh... Aside from just gaming... I want to get to know you more.
Drei-san gave me an unexpected look.
Drei: Is this a flag?
MC: A-A flag?
Drei: Or is this some kind of strategy... Is it?
MC: A-A strategy is...!
Drei: ...It's pretty troubling to think up of a fair strategy.
Even though Drei-san said that, he made a malicious smile and left.
(What should I do... It seems like I have caused some kind of strange misunderstanding.)
When I thought of that, I returned to the castle.
...
Drei was observing MC from his shelter.
Drei: What kind of ending should I go for... Although, I don't want to go simple and get the happy end.
After going through his thoughts, Drei came up with only one answer in the end... And made a daring smile.
Drei: ...
...
Last Chapter - Bad End
As the sun was shining beautifully, the clouds covered it up.
I arrived in front of Drei-san's room to call for him.
(In the end, I couldn't clear up the misunderstanding with Drei-san.)
Once I was ready to tell him, I knocked on the door, but... There was no response from inside.
(Is something wrong?)
MC: Drei-san, um...
Then, suddenly, the door opened and I was strongly pulled into the room.
MC: ...!?
The next moment, both of my arms were grabbed with my back against the door.
MC: D-Drei-san...?
I cowered as I remembered the time when I came to this kingdom for Drei-san.
Drei: ...Fufu.
Drei-san looked at me with a daring smile.
Drei: ...You really have no sense of danger.
MC: W-What do you mean?
Drei: I'm not going to let you leave this room.
MC: Eh...!?
Drei: It's the bad end after all.
MC: Bad end?
As I was unable to understand Drei-san's words and behavior, I repeated what he said.
(Just what is going on...?)
Drei: This is the end that you were strategizing for.
MC: Strategizing... That was a misunderstanding!
Drei: Misunderstanding? ...Wrong. Let's put it this way. Isn't this the ending that you want with me?
Drei-san's words made me gulp.
MC: ...!
I tried to get away from Drei-san, but he grabbed my wrist.
Drei: Hey...? This is what you strategized. Can't you see it?
Drei-san gave me a sharp look.
Drei: Even I have the right to enjoy a game.
MC: W-What do you mean?
Drei: Didn't I tell you? I'm not going to let you leave.
MC: ...Drei-san.
Drei-san softly whispered in my ear.
Drei: It's called the confinement end. The bad ending that you got.
I trembled after Drei-san said that amusedly.
MC: ...!
Drei: This room is soundproof. That way, no one will come unless I call for someone.
(Drei-san... He wants to do this sort of thing?)
Drei-san narrowed his eyes amusedly in a way I've never seen him do before.
(He looks happy... But...)
MC: ...I'm scared.
Drei: I'm scared too. It was impossible to understand what you were doing... But... I have taken a great interest in you. It's been a while since I've felt this excited. Lately, I've been getting tired of games.
Drei-san placed his lips against my ear.
MC: ...!
When he breathed into my ear, I turned my face away, but since he said that he wouldn't let me escape, his grip around my wrists became stronger.
MC: Drei-san...
Drei: That's right, just stay there.
I couldn't go against him, so I stood still.
Drei: Isn't it thrilling how a straightforward strategy can be so different than the ones in games?
As a key was making a jingling sound, he locked the door with it... I slowly closed my eyes. The next moment, Drei-san kissed my ear...
