The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (96)
Episode 96
I looked up at Casio with a surprised look. The man, as usual, was a little smirk and had a natural-looking face.
“I’m serious, Cassio Brahmanduff. The same line you just said, if you go anywhere, one day you will get a big nose injury.”
“No matter how much I say things like this everywhere, Lady Emilia.”
“Then, since I don’t have anywhere to poke outside, does that mean that it’s okay to act like a pervert because I’m easygoing?”
“You’re a pervert. It makes me sad if you misinterpret my feelings for Lady Emilia like that.”
As he spoke, the man held out his hand to me. It means to plug it in.
The sad face, which seemed to have been made up on purpose, shone brightly and white like a newly made plaster statue.
He had a white, arrogant and aristocratic face like a parasitic brother.
Once again, I gently held out my hand, hoping that I would not be in a relationship with shame without taking my hand off.
A small rose fell on her little finger. The delicate petals shining in a translucent red light were quite pretty, making me wonder how they were crafted.
“First of all, it’s a ring, but there are other ways to wear it.”
I took out the ring that Casio had put on me and turned it over so that the round ring was facing forward.
And when I applied force to twist the ring partly, the ring split in half, and a small ring came out from the back of the rose.
Since the ring wasn’t that big, it looked like a small brooch when turned over in that state.
“Five…….”
I admired a little. A proud smile spread across Casio’s face.
“When you can’t put your ring on, you can just lightly re-apply anywhere on your clothes. I want you to carry it with you wherever possible.”
I tilted my head as I looked at the jewel rose that had become a brooch.
“You want to wear it as much as possible? It’s not difficult because it’s not that big, but it might be an inappropriate accessory depending on what you’re wearing that day.”
“Did you say that beautiful flowers have thorns?”
“Do you know how much I wanted to feed poisonous toad guts to those assholes who used such words to explain why Ophelia’s personality was dirty?”
Casio gently avoided my sharp gaze and spoke in a low voice.
“The tooth behind the rose, the part of the ring.”
When made into a brooch, it looks just like a silver decorative pin.
“If you pull this part out as hard as you can, it will release poison that dissolves in human body fluids. Exactly, it dissolves in saliva.”
“…….”
“It is as small as a pea. It is almost colorless and odorless, but it has a very faint sweet taste, so it would be good to add it to tea types.”
“Are you curious about Ophelia’s special poison recipe? Would you like me to write this and make it?”
“no.”
Casio Brahmanduff was straight forward. I felt the sincerity.
“It’s for emergencies.”
“Do you die if you eat it?”
“It’s not a lethal dose, it turns into a corpse for about 24 hours. You can never wake up in the middle. My body temperature goes down and my pulse is barely audible, so I’d say it makes you sleep like you’re dead.”
“…….”
I think this poison Romeo and Juliet……. There Juliet pretended to be dead and ate poison to avoid marriage… … .
I felt weird. It was more so in that it wasn’t a weapon for immediate self-defense.
“Wouldn’t it be better to be more immediate and clear for self-defense? A kind that bleeds when stabbed or cut?”
“That would be difficult to carry.”
That’s correct. There is nothing that can’t be hidden if you hide it under the hem of a rich skirt, but it will be inconvenient and not convenient to carry.
If it was a cold day, you wouldn’t know, it was when it started to get very hot. thin and comfortable
The fabric was fashionable. No matter how much social media it is, everyone likes to be comfortable.
I suggested
“Should I put an iron core in my heel?”
“It’s a really cool idea, but Lady Emilia, if you ever get to dance…….”
Casio gave a look of disappointment. I nodded.
“Am I going to have a hard time?”
Casio countered with a subtle face.
“Will my instep go out?”
“Casio will be fine.”
“It sounds like you don’t care anyway.”
“In the first place, you don’t have to carry your opponent around like a goldfish poop, right?”
“Goldfish poop, Emilia…….”
Casio lowered the corners of his eyes as if embarrassed.
If we compare it to an animal, it is a silver fox with a slightly mean look. This was particularly the case with his picky temperament, which seemed to ignore him without a snort if someone reached out his hand.
Still, it wasn’t even funny to have sad eyes like a pet that had been thrown away by its owner.
“You mean you can’t sacrifice one of Casio’s feet for my own safety? You lack sincerity.”
“Lady Emilia, if something happens and my feet are not intact, who will protect Lady Emilia?”
“My nimble feet and stout hands.”
“…… Even if you die soon, you don’t say that you will sacrifice for me, so it’s reliable.”
What anew between us. For some reason, I turned the rose brooch into a ring, ignoring Casio, who muttered with a slightly gloomy expression.
As soon as I put it on my little finger, a bright red shimmered like before.
I was given all sorts of gifts that could be called literally money X Ral, but these kind of ornaments were rare.
It was nice to be able to wear it on my little finger without too much burden, and it was good that it wasn’t a necklace.
I used to wear an amethyst necklace that Laertes gave me when I was wearing clothes that didn’t show much necklace.
Just, every time I saw that necklace, I got a strange feeling.
Even if I put it away in the deepest part of the drawer, I’m not the type of person who can easily forget it because I can’t see it right away.
I still haven’t given up on Ophelia’s name, and I’m stuck with a single letter from her.
Right now, it’s like a kid chasing Casio Brahmanduff after the piped man, just looking at him and chasing him here.
So, with a very strange feeling, I would hang the necklace around my neck and measure the warmth of that nail-sized jewel that would roll around my collarbone.
The purple shards warmed by body temperature and flowing lukewarmly down the tip of the nail.
If Casio had given him a necklace, he would have unintentionally agonized over the two. Perhaps, considering that point, did you dare to choose non-overlapping accessories?
“pretty. thank you.”
Whether it was poison or medicine inside, the ring was really pretty. I politely said thank you.
A bright light came into the face of the man who was making up a dead expression.
“Ah, if you ever need to use an antidote, just break that rose part. They are poisonous and look alike, so don’t confuse them.”
“It’s thrifty.”
“Isn’t this the perfect sense of Cavalier?”
“It’s a pity that I’m praising myself.”
“Are you still willing to visit House Gloucester in person in the future?”
“Yes.”
Casio’s face was still looking at me. A face that looks like a mask and like a deception.
“What if I hurt something other than the cheek this time?”
“If I inflict damage on myself, I have to pay more than that in order to unlock the castle.”
“If I were to accompany you, what would you do?”
“Even so, the author hates me and hates you too, wouldn’t it be better to go alone than to provoke me? I’ll take Kitty, too, and there’ll be servants in the house. Most of all, if I go missing in this situation.”
I pulled the cravat that Casio was wearing.
A blue-colored gem that looked like a sapphire hit the tip of her nail and made a dry sound.
Casio’s gray eyes widened in surprise.
“You will not stand still.”
I could see the eyes of a very close man. Eyes like the surface of mercury that had just sank after a storm.
My face, as I stared at Casio without agitation, was reflected like a mirror. Casio was silent as if he was speechless.
I don’t think a man named Casio Brahmanduff would sacrifice for me.
I do not intend to overestimate the interest you have towards me. Whatever the contents of the remaining letter, that man is too big to act in the shadow of the dead Ophelia.
So, I believe in the calculations of that man who invested in me at this point.
Personally, I’m definitely not that good. Even if they disappear, no one will find them if Edmund Gloucester sets his sights on it.
But behind me are the Brahmanduffs. There is this man, and there is also Laertes Hope. The man who whispered to me like he swore he would protect me.
I used to think that he wouldn’t make me a waste of this world, even when I thought that his love couldn’t be mine.
Even if he was someone who lived like Ophelia’s shadow, he wasn’t the first to throw it out with his own hands just because his value had disappeared.
A man who will never turn away, even in the most messed up moment.
The hope that exists at the bottom of the heart is rather like despair, and there are times when it is terrifying.
Casio Brahmanduff wouldn’t do that math. Because I am a person who weighs despair and hope and the emotions of others on my own weight.
Why did you slap me on the cheek, did you ever expect Edmund to do that to me? If I asked you this… … It was obvious what the answer would be.
‘What do you mean, Emilia? Can’t it be? Sir Laertes Hope, you have a lot of speculation.’
I would pick up words like that. On the contrary, it is a kind of openly instilling a sense of vigilance without knowing the man’s sincerity and plans.
Anyway, that man is using me to get some answers. I’m just a chess piece being dragged around in that guy’s chess game, but the game isn’t over yet. He’s not the kind of guy who’ll let his precious chess pieces be lost.
“…… Yes.”
The man’s voice was low. A complex gaze flashed through my eyes, then turned towards my hand, which was clasped around my cravat.
As if driving a wedge into something, a low, deep voice returned.
“That’s right.”
“Yeah, it’s a colleague.”
As I smiled faintly, the man frowned subtly.
“Excuse me, do I have too few roles to be a colleague? Shall I correct you as a foodie who lives close to the Brahmanduffs?”
“Lady Emilia tends to underestimate herself too much.”
“is that so? Then, in front of Casio-san, I’ll pretend to be a little better and balance myself out.”
“…… I didn’t mean to say it that way, but well, it’s good.”
The man shrugged.
“If Lady Emilia takes the lead, this poor Cavalier will only keep behind. He said that he personally went out with steel shoes and poison rings… … .”
“Steel shoes are on hold.”
“Even if it’s not a shoe, we’ll look for something similar.”
I quietly nodded my head. These products are not common, and the Brahmanduff family with a lot of money and information will take care of it.
“By the way, Lady Emilia, is there anything you want in particular?”
“I eat well, dress well, and sleep well.”
“Even such an answer is the correct answer in a sense…….”
The man looked at me with strange eyes.
“It’s because I haven’t seen you ask for anything since you were at Marquis until now.”
