The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (152)
Episode 152
But it was only for a short time.
The very next moment, Edmund looked startled. Without any reaction, I just opened my eyes wide and opened my mouth involuntarily.
It was just as good as the original version of the look, so the expression on his face was worthy of seeing it, but if he looked even a little naughty, it would have been ridiculous to make fun of him over and over again.
I looked up at Edmund with a face that I could hardly comprehend whether it was startled or unexpected.
“Have you ever told Sir Edmund Gloucester such a thing?”
“…… No, she never told me that…….”
Edmund’s voice trembled. I don’t even know if that’s acting or if it’s the truth.
Anyway, is Ophelia’s letter really just a letter to Casio… … .
I was worried. I still don’t know what it means not to have my heart taken away, but it’s kind of hard to ask Edmund anyway.
“Besides, Lady Elodie is from the countryside, and her past is not well known. Even if she grew up mixed with unbelievers, washed her identity and went to Tokyo, I don’t know how many past acquaintances will support her.”
Even if you have an acquaintance who will take your side, will you be able to resist the king’s command?
Even the Marquis of Windrose is paying attention now.
It is true that the king’s power was weaker than when the king was healthy, but that does not mean that there are not many people who would take the side of a noble young-ae.
Edmund made an uncomfortable face, as if he felt a sense of remorse.
“…… She did not grow up among wicked unbelievers.”
It wasn’t a voice that wanted to eat me up to my bones because I wasn’t full of energy as usual.
“Yes. I think so. I am glad that Sir Edmund agrees.”
Among the ending of the Elodie confinement in the game, Edmund brought her to him in the name of edification… … .
If that is the case, it will be a story that Edmund was fine with the allegations covered by Elodie and Marquis Windrose.
…… what? I blinked at the thought that passed me by.
Wait a minute. If the Marquis Windrose’s writers fell for the same reason that they were Elodie’s patrons, then there’s no reason not to get involved with Edmund Gloucester, who was also an ardent lover, right?
Of course, the Gloucester family is also quite powerful, and Edmund Gloucester’s personal reputation and abilities cannot be underestimated either.
With that in mind, how about Laertes Hope, the Marquis of Windrose? Was there any reason to be so damned by Elodie who wasn’t even her real daughter?
“…… I am also afraid that Sir Edmund may be deceived by such shallow people and hurt Lady Elodie’s heart.”
“It seems that the cat is thinking of the mouse. When is the last time you openly ignore Lady Elodie’s kind heart, and do you care about Lady Elodie so much now?”
“It’s much better than having a gentleman who was an ardent suitor, enough to be recognized by anyone, just watching you with the warmth of a fan on an autumn day.”
“Who’s in debt on an autumn day…… !”
“Oh, I didn’t mean Sir Edmund. Lady Elodie, unlike me, was very kind, and she was loved by many people.”
Edmund shut his mouth at my reply. Whoops, there was a grinding sound.
Anyway, in light of the contents of the game, we can guess Edmund’s attitude in two main ways.
1. Edmund picked up Elodie after he was destroyed by unknown enemies.
2. Edmund stole what Elodie was about to be destroyed by an unknown enemy.
As for other guitars, I promise the future that the original will be smashed anyway, and I will wait and see, there is the same item, but well…….
Anyway, what is certain is that Edmund intervenes after Elodie’s life is ruined.
“…… Anyway, even if it’s difficult for the lord to step out himself, Elodie… … If you’re not the culprit, wouldn’t you need physical evidence to prove it? Even if there is, I don’t even know what it is.”
Edmund looked at me with a worried face for a long time. I smiled at him as shamelessly as possible.
How he interpreted my laugh, Edmund pulled out a lighter from his chest with a frown on his face. It was the object he used in the woods back then.
“…… Then I saw this thing.”
“Yeah, you used it to do magic.”
“Whether using ordinary divine powers or magic, the ritual itself usually has to take place only in a certain place. It is suicidal to perform magic like I did at that time in the forest without preparation.”
When I set aside the top of the lighter, which looked luxurious, I saw something like a small, hard-looking black stone, as I had seen at the time.
“Then, what methods do you use to reduce the burden in an emergency or everyday life? …… I use this kind of medium or catalyst. It is so rare that only those who know it know it.”
“that…… You said that Volume 2 of 〈Amy and Polita〉 is more like a modified magic tool, right? Did something like this catalyst go into it?”
“The book is… … It’s more like a clumsy artifact. It’s kind of like a weapon, but it’s close to the magic coating effect, so it’s close to the point that it doesn’t break easily.”
Edmund shook his head with a tired look on his face for a moment, wondering what he was thinking. Lady Beth, who swung through the forest waving a book, seemed to have come to mind.
“…… Even if you create a magical effect with it, it is still dependent on your own abilities. The only reason Lady Beth wielded the book as a weapon was because it was Lady Beth, it would only hurt her arm if Lady Emilia wielded it.”
“…….”
So that means don’t be rude.
“Anyway, let’s get to the point. If you want to do something big like a hunting contest that day… … You would need a tool like this. It is suicidal to bear all of that with one’s own strength.”
“Where do you get that catalyst? Is it a jewel?”
“It’s not a jewel, but……. You can think of it as being close to a very old fossil. It is a crystal of power solidified under special circumstances, and if you are really lucky, you can mine it from the ground. If not… … .”
“What if not?”
Edmund was silent for a moment.
“…… no.”
“What?”
“It’s not a good story for Lady Emilia to know.”
“Who is treating me like a child?”
are you kidding I contorted my face openly.
“I’ve already seen all the things I can see and the things I can’t see. There’s nothing I can’t hear anymore… … .”
“Unbelievers artificially obtain living sacrifices.”
“…….”
Edmund’s face was expressionless. I didn’t know what to say, so my lips twitched.
“…… Then, the unbelievers… … .”
“Even so, there will be limits. He made sacrifices to artificially acquire power that shouldn’t be there… … .”
“Ah, there’s no way Lady Elodie would have such a tool. If you find the culprit and prove it with those things… … .”
“Does it look like it will?”
Edmund’s face momentarily lit up with a laugh as cold as the north wind.
“You are an idiot.”
“…… I beg your pardon?”
“Do you know who you are fighting with right now?”
“…….”
Edmund’s eyes were like blue flames.
It was as if the cold, blue, and hot were entangled and swaying like roaring ice. It was strangely different from just expressing clear anger or irritation.
okay……. It was truly as if they were looking at me as if they were throwing away.
Until recently, I was taken aback by the markedly different attitude.
“Are you trying to get to know the enemy and attack it? Knowing nothing or having nothing. What do you believe? under! The deputy commander of that great Knights of Glamis? Do you have a small nose? Or the heir to that damn Brahmanduff family?”
“…….”
“Proving, without knowing where, who, or what? save me? There is no other kid.”
Why are you so angry all of a sudden?
“If you don’t know anything, you shut up and quietly lock yourself up, knowing that your life is precious…….”
“no, I do not want.”
“what?”
“I don’t like it.”
Casio Brahmanduff asked me to marry him. I will give you everything as long as you listen quietly and stay with me.
In other words, don’t interfere with what Casio Brahmanduff is doing. Don’t know any more, don’t dig it up.
That means, if Lady Elodie is horribly killed right before my eyes, if the Marquis Windrose is completely destroyed, or if Laertes Hope leaves my side, pretend not to be ignorant.
Don’t worry about ‘something else’, don’t make sacrifices.
“Is that living?”
I didn’t consider what I was doing a sacrifice, but in Casio Brahmanduff’s eyes it might seem like a sacrifice.
“If you run away, rationalize, excuse yourself that you have done everything you can, and watch people die and get hurt and pretend you don’t know. Is that living?”
The skin of the hand that had not healed completely was sore. The man’s blue eyes stared blankly at me.
“I have already experienced a life of breathing for no reason.”
It was only about two years, but in the end it was an escape. There was nothing lacking, but I wasn’t happy.
“I also knew that even if I turned away from things I didn’t want to decide, pretended to be nothing, and ran away, I would eventually come back to my future self.”
The Marquis Windrose without Ophelia lied to me that I was nothing. He comforted me that he threw it away first because he was afraid of being abandoned.
“But now that I have come…… The opponent you don’t know is a huge and scary enemy, so know the subject and run away without tails? my…… No matter what the people around you have been through, and what will happen in the future?”
don’t be funny
I laughed bitterly. Don’t come to see me too early, Ophelia said. I told you to survive, to be happy.
I’m not that close with Princess Alois.
I don’t even want to value Elodie that much.
But I don’t want to let go of things that aren’t my fault and end in a miserable way.
Above all, I wanted to protect the Marquis of Windrose.
“Even with someone who says you love them?”
to be cowardly.
I clicked my tongue as I looked at the blue eyes that seemed to be angry, anxious, and bewildered.
“Live your life, Sir Edmund Gloucester.”
“…….”
“I will live proudly even for him.”
