MTLNOVEL Chapter 11
Seduce…
What can I do when I have never seduced a man or been in a relationship before?
I couldn’t even guess why the favorability rose.
It’s impossible for a demon without blood or tears to be moved by something like that, to say that he was elevated simply by a single compliment.
It’s no one else but the demon, though? I died at the hands of that guy every time, though?
I couldn’t believe it.
So I guess I should try an experiment. If it really rises because of a conversation or not.
If his favorability increases with just one word, or if it builds up gradually and explodes all at once.
“Holloway, don’t get away from me. Because I will protect you at all costs. Understand?”
“Yes, Sister.”
And I held his hand tightly. At the same time, a window popped up.
[Favorability has increased by 0.5%.]
[Favorability: 2.5%]
Words and actions!
Seeing that it had risen by 0.5% compared to 0.1% at the beginning, it seemed that the longer we talked and got to know each other, the higher the percentage increased.
So, if I just raise the favorability rating well, wouldn’t I be able to get out of here quickly?
The room is unlocked, and if possible, I can win the favor of the final boss and avoid the route where I die…
‘It’s totally beneficial!’
In that case, there was no need to separate Holloway, whose favorability toward me was rising.
If I make small noises and make contact in this way, I will be able to accumulate them one by one.
I’ll say it again, there’s no way the escape gate in a horror game is in an easy-to-find place.
I had a hunch that there must be an escape gate in an unlocked room or underground.
No, this is certain.
Looking at the system, there was no way it would let me escape easily.
But was it this easy to raise Holloway’s favorability?
Of course, it can’t be said that the level has risen compared to other games, but the fact that there was a liking for the final boss was amazing in itself.
After rising by even 0.1%, it was going up easily.
By hugging Holloway at the beginning of the play, my favorability seemed to increase easily.
As soon as I got to know him, the final boss’s favorability that I took for granted opened up.
Since I hugged him so tightly, did he react to human body heat?
Come to think of it, no one was hugging Holloway in the early stages of the game.
They held his hand but…
Then my luck is nice!
Even if it’s just a coincidence, as long as the favorability is open, I can never waste it.
“…velin. Miss Evelin!”
“Ah.”
I was so excited that I started thinking without realizing it, and I was pulled out of it by Moran’s voice.
Moran asked worriedly, examining my face.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, it’s nice.”
“…Pardon? Nice? The current situation?”
The loud sound of the monster breaking down the door was still audible next to me.
The approaching sound had now reached the door of the guest room where we were hiding.
We held our breath at the same time.
The rough sound of the tagger’s breathing could clearly be heard even in the ears of those of us hiding in the closet.
Crackle, cracklecracklecrackle!
The loud sound of teeth clashing together was heard, and then the loud roar of a door flying away pierced my ears.
Moran and I reflexively covered our ears.
Baam!
Cluck, cluck…
Along with the sound of falling debris, cloudy dust flowed into the crevices of the closet.
I moved carefully so as not to make a sound and looked through the crack in the door.
The tagger’s figure gradually emerged from the gray dust.
The tagger’s appearance was as bizarre as the monster I had seen for the first time.
Compared to its large head, its small body was that of a child.
Its short hair covered its face, and it had no mouth.
It has no mouth, yet it speaks…
What is
crackle, crackle
? Where did I hear that…!
The tagger who waddled in looked around the room and tilted its head repeatedly.
—I saw hair!
—I did, but where?
The tagger, who was looking around the room while answering questions to itself, grabbed the bed and easily threw it onto the ceiling.
The chandelier on the ceiling hit the bed, broke violently, and fell down.
Who checks on people so ghastly.
I wanted Moran to scold the ghost that couldn’t learn things, like when she did to me.
Yet Moran was shaking and covering her mouth with both hands.
After confirming that there was nothing under the bed, the tagger tilted his body left and right.
—Not here! Not under the bed!
…Then this is the only place left.
The tagger’s neck began to turn 360 degrees.
I felt like I would shed tears of joy at the bizarre performance.
[ε=ε=ε=ﾍ( ´ Д`)ノDanger!!]
[ε=ε=ε=ﾍ( ´ Д`)ノDanger!!]
[If this continues, you will die soon!]
I know it well even if you don’t say it.
It wasn’t until I saw the monster that I realized how foolish I had been, thinking I would run away the moment the closet door opened.
‘Can I run away from that monster?’
It may not be agile, so there is a chance.
Why am I having an agile day today, unlike a monster?
That monster will destroy my day with all its might.
Even though I tried to channel positive thinking, negative thoughts kept popping up and blocking me.
Let’s think carefully.
I can’t die in the beginning.
Should we use Holloway as bait? And then what if I die?
This method is a failure….
I held my hands tightly together and didn’t take my eyes off the monster.
Holloway punched me in the knee as I was racking my brain vigorously to find the most plausible method.
“Ouch…”
It hurts.
“Why don’t you answer when I call you?”
“When did you call me?”
“I kept calling.”
“Didn’t you call me in your heart?”
“Do you have time for pointless arguing?”
Not sure…
First of all, it seems like a good idea for you to at least pretend to hide your identity.
“I think Sister doesn’t like losing to others.”
“It’s better to win if possible.”
“That sounds like me!”
[Holloway found something in common with you.]
[But he does not feel anything special.]
[(￣^￣,)(￣^￣,)(￣^￣,)(￣^￣,)(￣^￣,)]
Are you adding fuel into the fire…
I looked at Holloway, stopping him from hitting my knee again.
“Sister, what should we do?”
“If you asked me that…”
Then I asked Holloway a little question.
“But is Sir Friedel dead? I didn’t see him.”
If I don’t ask this at some point, he’ll wonder if I didn’t suspect it.
“Yes. I turned my head for a moment and saw the monster…”
Great, until there.
When I nod heavily.
[You must disrupt the tagger.]
Disrupt…?
Anxiety crept up on the system window that said the right thing.
I haven’t seen the system working properly since I came here.
[To disrupt, you must choose one of three things to do. Select and fill the gauge.]
…Please, please
Although the options hadn’t yet appeared, I held my hands and prayed as I felt something dirty. Eventually, a window popped up.
[1. Dancing passionately.
((

]
It sucks from the start.
Are you asking me to dance in this state?
As far as I know, <A Child’s Secret> is a very scary gore horror game, but I don’t know how it ended up deteriorating like this.
Is it that you’ll get those options if you’re the nuisance character…
Is it that actually, the character Evelin is a character who speaks shamefully? That’s why it’s like this?
[2. Play rock, paper, scissors with Moran and win 10 times.
ን✌️ ° ◡ ° ✌️ʯ]
…What if Moran says she doesn’t want to?
If I tried to do it in this situation, Moran would definitely scold me to understand the mood.
For some reason, even if I’m now in a position where I’m being scolded by Moran, I don’t want to be scolded by others.
I didn’t want to be someone who didn’t have a grasp of the situation.
[3. Avoid the tagger’s attacks 5 times.
| д・)]
The tagger’s attack where it lifts the bed with one hand and throws it away? Me?
[If you do not make a choice within the time limit, the closet door will open.]
Uaah, uaaaah!
Still, I raised my index finger to choose number 2, which was still the best.
“Miss Evelin! What should we do!”
Suddenly, Moran grabbed me and shook me, so my index finger pressed number 1 instead of number 2.
“Huh?”
N-No, no!
Cancel, cancel! I was going to do number 2!
In my haste, I clicked twice in a row before the window disappeared.
But the sky doesn’t care about me.
The window disappeared as if it had finished its work and a new window appeared.
Ring!
[No. 1 ‘Dancing passionately.
((
(ว ˘

))
‘ has been selected!]
“Moraaaaaan!”
How can you do this to me!
I called her with all my might, then she flinched and covered my mouth.
“Mmmp, mmmp!”
“Be quiet, Miss Evelin! What now…”
Then, Moran looked at my face and asked seriously.
“But why does your face look like that…”
Did you just point out my face?
It was then.
The window excitedly turned on the gauge as if I wouldn’t give me a chance to despair even for a split second.
[Gauge ◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻]
[Dance passionately to fill up the empty gauge!]
[When the gauge is fully filled, the tagger leaves this room and heads to another place.]
[Time limit is 1 minute. If you do not fill the gauge within that time, you will be caught by the tagger.]
There was nothing to worry about. I got up from my seat.
I was very fortunate that it was a large closet.
What a blessing it is that there is still room for two adults and one child.
This comfort that doesn’t shake even when I jump up.
Just as I wanted to dance, I felt like I wanted to be lost in a sea of emotions on a suitable stage.
I can’t help it. I have to dance to live.
I was a person who had a lot of regrets about life.
But if I dance this, will the monster disappear? What does this have to do with anything?
But I’ll dance first!
Because I want to live. Desperately.
As I suddenly stood up, Holloway and Moran’s curious gazes were fixed on me.
I looked at the two and earnestly asked them.
“Please keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them. Holloway too.”
That way I’ll be less embarrassed.
I wanted them to follow me without asking, yet they didn’t listen to my request, as if I had met a tree frog somewhere and made friends with them.
“I don’t want to. What are you going to do?”
“I also don’t want to, Sister.”
Then just watch it, f*ck!
I moved my body slowly.
