How a Nuisance Character Survives in a Horror Game – Chapter 40 – 7# I Know What You Did Last Time You Went Swimming (2)

Author: lipzoldyck

I felt it vaguely.

It felt like something firm yet warm touching my body was relieving the pain in my body.

When I forced my eyes to open, I saw someone blurry.

At the same time, a sharp voice sounded.

“Don’t be ridiculous! She’s a human! We…!”

“Quiet.”

A woman’s voice, which had been shouting fiercely in a stern voice, stopped.

The face, which was looking somewhere else while holding me, turned to me. A large hand covered my eyes before their face became clear.

“Sleep a little more.”

The friendly voice made me fall into a deep sleep again without realizing it.

***

Blink!

The first thing I saw with wide eyes was none other than Holloway’s cute and handsome face.

As I was silent and just blinking, Holloway muttered seriously.

“…Is she in her right mind?”

What does that mean.

“No, she shouldn’t be, though.”

Since I didn’t say anything, Holloway started muttering to himself.

“Because if she is, she’s not Sister.”

You really have a knack for keeping your words so rudely.

“I’m in my right mind.”

“Sister!”

His face brightened then he hugged me. I asked, patting his back.

“If I’m in my right mind, I can’t be ‘Sister’.”

“People who are originally in their right minds don’t call themselves sane.”

“…”

You also have a talent that makes me want to grab you as soon as I open my eyes.

I got up and stopped.

I’m definitely dead, though?

No… I almost died, didn’t I?

As I was reminded of the imminent death, my body began to tremble.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

Even though Holloway shook me and asked, I couldn’t hear his voice clearly.

From the time I was fooled by Celyr to the time I almost died.

As that situation came to mind non-stop like waves, tears fell.

“Sister.”

Holloway called out to me quietly, cupped my cheek and wiped away my tears. Without realizing it, I hugged him tightly.

He silently patted my trembling back. As if he knew everything.

I embraced him tighter due to his gentle comfort.

This warmth let me know that I was alive and that my blood was still flowing.

For a long time, I held Holloway like that.

When the sound of our hearts slowed down and my mind and body calmed down, I got further from Holloway.

Even though I had experienced something like this, it was difficult for me to act cheerfully without a moment of fear.

Still, it was a relief that I recovered mentally faster than others.

Full from crying, I grabbed my neck.

It was to find out what I had been through.

I felt a smooth neck without any holes. I quickly got off the bed and looked at my face in the half-broken mirror.

There was no injury whatsoever. I fumbled around, yet there wasn’t a single thing that was damaged.

“How did this happen?”

I thought I would die and the game over screen would appear.

“Sister, are you okay now?”

Holloway kept stroking my hand and asked me worriedly.

“What happened to me?”

“What?”

Looking at how I’m with Holloway, did he find me right before I died?

As I panicked, a note shape appeared in front of me and started to sparkle. The number ‘3’ was written on the note.

I think it was a system window that popped up while I was unconscious.

I pressed the message button to see it. Then windows popped up one after another.

[Holloway’s tightly closed heart has been opened!]

[All numbers rise explosively! The numbers have reached 30%!]

[Holloway recognizes you as a ‘cute and special comedian’!]

That damn comedian is w-well… Is that my name?

Rather, 30% in an instant. I was overwhelmed with emotion, but then I became a little anxious.

It’s not broken, right?

I glared at the window out of reasonable suspicion.

[You checked the message!]

[The current hotel difficulty level is ‘Under Holloway’s Protection.’]

[All of Holloway’s stats reach 30%, and the hidden feature, ‘Obsession’, is activated!]

[‘Future Conqueror of this World’ Holloway’s emotional levels!

Favorability: 30%

Attachment: 30%

Possessiveness: 30%]

[‘The Future Conqueror of this World, Holloway’s ★★!

Jealousy: 5%

Anxiety symptoms: 15%

(=connected emotion: possessiveness)

Obsession: 20%]

[When the level of obsession is ??? high]

What should I do if it covers up something really important?

I’m wondering whether I should cry or not, but what should I do?

It seems like a bad thing with a high probability…

Even if I didn’t do anything, I decided to pray for my soul to rest in peace as I saw the level of obsession that broke 20% at once and the brakes failed.

“Sister. Answer me.”

[Obsession has increased by 2%.]

From now on, I will answer well.

“I was apparently with Lord Werner… when someone suddenly hit me on the back of the head and I fainted. And then I was chased by a woman and a man…”

First of all, I couldn’t pretend to know anything about Holloway, so I spoke gibberish.

“Ah, someone saved you!”

“…Someone?”

“Yes. Someone extremely handsome and extremely tall.”

Um, you…? Do you want to say it’s you?

“A man Sister will fall in love with.”

So it’s you.

“He’s incredibly big and has a great body.”

Okay, so…

Aren’t you embarrassed to say it with your own mouth?

“I can’t lie, you know!”

Did you not read my mind?

“Where is that handsome, big, hot man?”

“I didn’t say he was hot.”

“From what you say, he seems like a really hot guy. I’d like to thank him, though…”

“I don’t know. After treating Sister, he disappeared.”

He was saving me subconsciously, but was this what it meant?

It was a relief.

I thought I would be dead, yet my life was saved.

My life has begun again.

As I was enjoying my new life with open arms, Holloway pulled my sleeve with a smiling face.

“Sister, you’re thankful, aren’t you?”

“Mmhm. I am”

“You’ve never seen him before, but it feels like you favor him, right?”

“Of course. I do.”

When everyone said yes, Holloway smiled brightly.

[Holloway is very satisfied.]

“So don’t worry, Sister.”

Perhaps because he was in a better mood or because the number had reached 30%, Holloway looked at me with softer eyes than before.

And he even did things he never would have done before.

He pressed his lips to the back of my hand and leaned his cheek against my palm.

“I will protect you from everything, okay?”

“…Mmhm.”

Holloway, smiling cutely, even kissed the back of my hand one last time and hugged my arm tightly.

“I like you, Sister.”

[Holloway is going crazy because you are so cute.]

Uh, uh…

“Me too.”

[Holloway’s mood starts to get excited!]

[Favorability has increased by 1%.]

[Attachment has increased by 3%.]

[Possessiveness has increased by 7%.]

[Obsession has increased by 10%.]

It’s rising to the point where it shouldn’t be rising, damn.

[Obsession has reached 30%. From now on, when you are more than 100 meters away from Holloway, his desire to possess will begin to increase rapidly.]

I held Holloway’s hand tightly.

“Holloway, don’t get separated from me, got it?”

“Yes!”

Is it because system windows suddenly appear in a short period of time? When I felt a little dizzy.

[You exceeded Holloway’s levels by 30%!

We have a special gift for you!]

Suddenly?

I don’t decline gifts.

I picked up Holloway and headed to the sofa.

“Let’s take a break. Is that fine?”

“Of ccourse.”

I sat on my lap facing Holloway and stared at the system window. Holloway looked into my eyes, his ears blushing slightly.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

That’s because the system window is in front of you…

“Holloway is cute and handsome, so just looking at you relaxes me.”

[Holloway can’t take his eyes off your lips, which only say nice things.]

Oho.

This child. Tsk.

By the way, please give me a gift.

[★A special list of gifts for you!★

Choosing a special gift will make Holloway feel better!

However, choosing a mine will upset Holloway, so choose wisely. (◍ •﹏•)]

Do you like fortunes and misfortunes that much?

How nice it would be if you gave me what I want!

[Obtain the gift you want by following the parts! (ব)]

…Parts?

At that time, the area around Holloway’s face crackled, and soon gifts began to be written on each part of his face.

[Eyes—Hotel Map: A function that allows you to see the hotel at a glance!

(Run through Holloway’s eyelashes 5 times with your hand! Both eyes.

~( ˘ ▾ ˘ )~)]

I guess it’s the hotel’s map. Since it’s a map, I can see the hotel at a glance.

But what is in those parentheses?

The window didn’t pay any attention to my sweet and bitter words.

[Nose—A ring with a red diamond: It can be a blow to Celyr and Extenron. (Limited to 5 times)

(Press Holloway’s nostrils very, very firmly with your fingers to make a pig’s nose!

(ﾉ ⟡ ▽ ⟡)ﾉ )]

I want that. I want that!

Before I knew it, I looked at it and felt like I was shopping.

[Lips—Underground safe key: A key that can open a safe hidden in the basement. (If you fail to obtain it now, you can obtain it through a ‘difficult’ quest.)

(Press Holloway’s lips!

♡( ˘ • 3 • ˘ )♡)]

I’m secretly worried.

If I choose the nose, I can get a chance to mess with Holloway and beat up the man and woman who drove me to the brink of death.

But when I step on a landmine, Holloway gets upset.

And no matter who sees it, the mine is the nose.

This bastard…

It makes sure to make me this anxious.

I can’t even choose anyway, but it’s such a waste to death!

[What part do you want?]

No, there is no part I want.

[What gift do you want?!]
