Chapter 4 (1/2)

“Lord Abel, you’re here.”

The majestic skeleton captain who is wearing armor found me while bowing his head to greet. And he drew his sword on a whim.

Clang, the sword was pointed at the tip of my neck with a sound.

“Why is a human here!”

“I brought her here, so leave it alone. What about Karein?”

Don’t go away like that. I’m under threat, you bastard!

As I stared at Abel’s back, he still glared at myself with a vigilant eye (I know, because my eyes are wide open). I sneaked out of the skeleton captain with a smile that I used when I first fell here ‘I’m a harmless human being.’

As I followed the drooping red thread, I saw a room with an insignia that said ‘I am a noble person.’

Hey, is this the right place?

There was a voice that gave off a feeling of drowsy yet overwhelming pressure. As I walked through the insignia, I saw Abel filling a cup with a drink or something in front of him.

I came to my senses with an insecure glance at the maid, legsless, floating under her long skirt, carrying a refreshment, a monster with no features, and almost screamed at her casually.

“Okay, let’s talk about it now.”

I woke up to the voice that said. Abel, who had loosened his chest, looked at me with his lazy, half-leaning eyes.

…… That man. Reminding me that he was a villain, he sat in front of me and filled his cup. It was a bloody, unknown drink. I smelled it, but I didn’t even touch it because I knew it was blood from my experience.

All around were dead creatures with red threads strung like a spider web. Why am I here? Just a day ago, when I was about to miss my daily life-the warm life I had with the monsters-Abel said, tilting his cup as bright as my own.

“Now, let’s think of what happened that day. Human. ‘No way my life is going on like this……it’s ridiculous.’ You said, what does that mean?”

That day, I said while saving Abel, who became a half-corpse. It was something I muttered inadvertently without knowing it, but if I knew that the other person was Abel, I wouldn’t have said anything!

I tried hard to keep smiling.

“Yes, it meant that you should survive, it wouldn’t make sense to end your life! Yes! Yes.”

“Well, then this? ‘It doesn’t make sense to have my nose hooked on a guy that’s about to get killed. It’s impossible!’ Tell me, how did you know I was going to die?”

Are you a stalker?

I tried to grasp my eyes that were about to shake terribly and came up with an excuse. I was strong in adapting to the situation. However, the bright red eyes were sweeping me through as if I was bleeding, so my head was turning blank. Eventually, I stuttered like an idiot.

“That, I, I’m actually-”

“Actually?”

Red lips twist, and the sculptural face tilts. I can never tell you that I know where, how, why you die. I can’t say that you’ll die in vain and die as a supporting character and third male interest. I can’t say it.

Seeing that fascinating appearance, I will blow everything and die! I thought so, but I desperately suppressed that feeling. The fluttering trouble had to end around here.

It would be more dangerous to know that the red thread had something to do with [Solar], and I needed something similar to turn it around and make him understand.  Then it reminded me, in the original, there were the three goddesses of fate who control the red thread of [Solar].

“Yes, it’s because you will be the one that leads to the thread of fate!”

“Fate?”

The corners of his mouth are twisted. I don’t know if he really knows about the goddess or if he’s intrigued, but I just sputtered words because my life was at stake.

“Well, yes! I saved you. Honestly, it’s true that you almost died soon. But I saved you, and the thread of fate that the three goddesses of fate wove from that moment was tied with you.”

“Hmm.”
