The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 125
125. The End and the Beginning (1)
The North returned straight through the portal with Medea.
What caught my eye as soon as I arrived was the appearance of a charred mansion in various places.
I couldn’t believe it, but someone in the north…
At that moment, a large pillar of ice blocked the view.
“Princess Arlot!”
“No, no. Lord Arlot!”
“Mr. Arlot, why on earth… ?” “
All members of the mansion were gathered in the yard.
Holding on to an ice pillar, swinging a sword, and sitting down crying.
There were people I knew, such as Koyono and Hanna.
There was only one person who was supposed to be there.
“What is happening?”
“Shoo, Lord Schmitz! Black lightning…Lord Arlot… “Huh.”
Koyono, who was trying to break the ice with her sword, saw me and dropped her sword
The place pointed to with a messed up face.
In the center of an ice pillar larger than the mansion, Arlot was trapped with a peaceful face.
Even though I didn’t want to understand, I had no choice but to understand.
I closed my eyes tightly to the cruelly familiar situation.
Even if it is a faded memory from the past, it is a memory that comes to mind clearly.
-… Do not be sad… Love, do it.
Black lightning flew at the protagonist. Arlot takes it on his behalf
She was worried that she would become a demon, so she froze herself.
Even after defeating the Demon King, there is no way to save Arlot.
She acts as a stimulant that makes the protagonist angry, and is an unlucky heroine who cannot participate in the credits of the happy ending.
Even if I changed her party members her or tried any of her her items her her her, there was no way to save her her.
As if to say that she has no place in her happy ending.
“Don’t be damned… “
“Shoo, Lord Schmitz?”
“Medea!”
It is not a distorted game where you have to act only within programming.
This world is absolutely real, a real world where all humans have free will.
And next to me was an absolute being called Medea.
He approached Medea, whose pupils were visibly shaking, and grabbed both of her shoulders.
“Ugh, Schmitz. It hurts.”
“Mr. Medea, Princess Arlot has been chosen as the embodiment of evil. “Please disconnect again like you did to the Demon King.”
“That… “
“Medea!”
Medea avoided her gaze as if she was having trouble.
My heart is beating. Anxiety creeps in.
No, she can. She must be able to
“… I’m sorry, but that’s not possible. The moment I disconnected from the Demon King, being S, which sensed my intervention, took over my control.”
“Then… So what should I do? “What can you do?”
“Now I am no different from an ordinary girl. … It’s all my fault. I expected that being S would take my power, but… I didn’t know they would do something like this. “I’m sorry.”
Medea lowered her head, and I took her hand away from her.
Having lost her powers, she is literally just a weak girl.
So what on earth should I do?
Like the time of the Demon King, the role of evil incarnate cannot be postponed to another person.
If I break Arlot’s ice spell, I will have to fight her and one of her two will have to die.
Or keep her locked in her ice her for the sake of peace in her her world her her her.
Whatever the method, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a terrible ending.
“There must be some way. Lord Schmitz is here too…”
“Mr. Schmitz, there is some way… “
“… “
Koyono, Hannah, and Evan’s eyes turn to me.
Everyone in the mansion also looks at me with concern.
Their eyes are filled with anticipation and worry that something will work out.
Even though I am not the type of person to receive such expectations.
‘I am… I don’t know.’
My mind felt dizzy.
What can I do about a situation where I can’t use the game’s information and have no knowledge of anything?
Waltz Schmitz is not an all-rounder who can do anything.
There’s just an idiot named Yoo Seon-hyuk who pretends to be an all-rounder.
They are mistaken. I am hopeful that I can get through this crazy situation.
At that moment, someone held my hand.
“I have a story to tell. Please lend me your ears.”
“… “
I quietly bent down and Medea whispered various things in my ear.
After listening quietly to her words, I took a deep breath.
To raise a voice loud enough for everyone in the mansion to hear.
“Everyone, please leave the mansion as it could be dangerous. Please evacuate as far away as possible. It’s not at the level of retreating from this mansion, it’s just staying away so that I don’t get caught up in a big fight in the north.”
“Shoo, Lord Schmitz?!”
“Koyono and Hanna…” ” We are sorry, but we ask for your cooperation. “I have work to do.”
“There’s no way you can get away with saying something like that!”
I asked Sebas and Evan to take them with me.
Koyono and Hanna are struggling and trying their best to come to my side.
I’m sorry, but if they are there, Medea gave me… And I can’t carry out the plan I came up with.
Time passes by and only I, Arlot, and Medea settle down in that place.
I first gave my luck to Medea, who was quietly looking at Arlot.
“Arlotte, who couldn’t walk at all in the original, is now walking. So she must still create a miracle.”
“It was all something I created by manipulating the system.”
“… Such a confession at this time is a bit too much.”
“It was a joke.”
Medea says that with an expressionless face.
I made eye contact with her.
“We evacuated everyone as requested.”
“I said I could leave Koyono and Hanna behind.”
“If something goes wrong, they have to survive.”
“The likelihood of success has become even lower.”
“That means it’s not 0. “Good.”
“… “
Me and Medea exchanging glances in silence.
I can’t tell what she’s thinking from her expressionless expression.
I could see that many thoughts and emotions were intersecting within it.
“… There are two things. What are your options?”
“Thank God I have two.”
“One is to take advantage of her last opportunity given by Arlot.”
“If you say it’s an opportunity… “
I close my eyes and look at Arlot standing in the middle of the ice pillar.
Medea pointed with her finger at the dagger in my arms.
“It is to suffocate Arlot through the crack in the sealed ice. I recommend it. She can make everyone happy by sacrificing just one person, her.”
“… Okay.”
I quietly took out her dagger from her arms and approached her.
Even though there was a huge pillar of ice, her position was at my eye level.
I slowly raised my sword and brought the dagger to her her neck her her her-
At that moment, memories of the past passed through my mind.
-Me… Kill me. We… We are friends, right?
On Arlot’s terrible 15th birthday, she lost her eye and said, holding her dagger.
She didn’t want to live anymore and asked me to kill her.
Then, as now, I held a dagger and pondered.
If killing her is her her, would it be right to make that wish come true?
Wouldn’t it be my arrogance and deception towards her to refuse her request to die?
If the Grand Duke of the North hadn’t entered the room the moment I was thinking about it, I would have…
“… The first plan will probably be difficult.”
Even if it’s just her, her, her selfish wish, I want to save her.
Even if I hear her criticize me and end up hating me.
Giving up Arlot’s life… It is a choice that can never be made.
“… Anyone who has played a lot of games will know this. Do you remember what happens if the main character dies while playing a game?”
“I guess it’s game over.”
“Even though Being S has taken control from me, I can see. In this already twisted world, existence continues the story with you as the main character. It may be in that sense that Arlot was designated as the embodiment of evil. So… So… “
Medea placed her hands on her own breasts and pressed them.
Medea, who had a painful expression on her face for a while as she caught her breath,
She finally finished her sentence.
“… It’s a complete gamble. What would happen to a world without a main character? It may be a philosophical question, but at least I think it is a way.”
“The main character’s death… “Ira.”
Medea frowned, but my face her her, on the contrary, became calm.
Okay. If this world created good and bad characters in a dichotomous way –
If one of those people had to die, I had only one choice.
Medea hurriedly grabbed my arm her
“If the main character dies, you don’t know what will happen to the world or what will happen to you after the game ends. No, it is unclear whether this situation will be resolved. I’ll pretend it never happened. Correct. That’s not an option-“
“No. Ms. Medea.”
Perhaps because of her loss of control of her, Medea’s emotions her are gradually turning into those of an ordinary human being.
It’s like seeing her younger sister telling her to stop receiving meaningless life-sustaining treatment.
“I think maybe my journey so far has been a life-sustaining treatment for hikikomori.”
“Schmitz… It’s not like that. “I, who has looked at your entire life, can tell you.”
“No, I think it was for this.”
“Schmitz!”
My complicated head became clear and I understood existence S.
The completion of the story he tells is completed with this choice of mine.
Damn, I’m trembling at the fact that I’m playing in his hands until the very end.
Because this is a story that has to end like that.
[Sch, Schmitz. What does that mean? Because it’s a game and hikikomori, there are a lot of words I don’t know… What on earth are you talking about!]
‘Miho… ‘
An urgent voice rang through my head.
Did I notice something strange about the conversation between me and Medea?
I smiled and told her her last words.
“Miho, I’m sorry. He followed me because he thought it would be fun… I guess this is where we say goodbye.”
[Schmitz, what does that mean? Answer!]
“Stop. It’s not a solution, it’s just an escape. Don’t bet your life on meaningless gambling!”
[Do you think that child will be happy even if the solution is resolved through your death? That would be the same as killing that child!]
“Existence S once again chooses between good and bad. Evan, Koyono, Hannah… Will you pass the responsibility on to those who love you and whom you love?”
I walked slowly and approached Arlot.
I closed my eyes, pressing my forehead against hers, trapped in her ice.
Miho’s cry and Medea’s scream.
In the silence where the loud noises around you subside and you can hear your breathing.
“Can you tell me anything? “Because I am a vicious pure-loving person.”
For a moment, I hope the dagger that was shaking in my arms turns towards me.
By my own will, I began to rush into myself.
