How a Nuisance Character Survives in a Horror Game

 

Holloway lay face down and ran his fingers over Evelin’s wet, shivering back.

 

His flowing fingers slowly traced her spine all the way down to the bottom, thenn stopped.

 

Evelin’s slightly cold body temperature flowed through the negligee.

 

Holloway opened her hand to her soft skin and this time pressed it to her lower back.

 

He could feel her bare skin all over his palm.

 

When his hand slowly moved and reached her waist, Evelin’s urgent hand blocked it.

 

“…W-What are you doing?”

 

“It’s just.”

 

He grabbed her waist. Her rejection of him was so mild that it didn’t bother him.

 

“

Cough

…”

 

Then Evelin coughed and vomited blood.

 

The blood spread around him, yet his face was indifferent.

 

Evelin dying wasn’t something that really bothered Holloway.

 

‘Rather than her changing like them later, wouldn’t it be better… ’

 

—to leave her like this?

 

His sunken eyes twinkled strangely.

 

Holloway, overcome by the unknown impulse, stared at his hands holding Evelin’s waist.

 

The back of his hands, with its prominent blue veins, seemed to be enduring something.

 

Looking at Evelin with her beautifully curved body, white skin, and mysterious purple hair, Holloway felt like he had some idea of why Suriel used collecting techniques.

 

If you stuff it, it will never leave your side.

 

It doesn’t have to change.

 

If it doesn’t change, you can have it for a long time.

 

If the moment came when Evelin changed and he had to kill her, he would feel a little dirty at that time.

 

‘So it would be better to stuff her in this state.’

 

There was a strangeness in his red eyes.

 

“Evelin.”

 

Startle.

 

Every time he called her name, she let him know with her whole body that she was scared.

 

Even her small movements made him laugh.

 

As time passed by, Evelin, that woman, ignited Holloway’s desire to boil from the inside out.

 

The wetness of her neck and pale skin made him thirsty again and again.

 

A large hand wrapped around Evelin’s neck.

 

Holloway withdrew his sword and held Evelin’s head up, unable to properly aim it at her body.

 

He stared intently at the back of her neck as she gasped for air.

 

Soon, he slowly lowered his face and pressed it against the nape of Evelin’s neck.

 

“What are you doing now?”

 

Evelin’s extremely irritated voice was heard. Holloway’s movements stopped.

 

“What?”

 

Holloway pretended not to notice.

 

“What did you put on my neck? What is it? If you’re honest, I’ll forgive you.”

 

“Really?”

 

“No.”

 

“…”

 

For some reason, it seemed like the blade near her neck had been removed, but a window saying that the ‘Stuffed’ ending had disappeared didn’t appear.

 

The point was that she wasn’t safe yet.

 

The pounding from her heart spread throughout her body, making her tremble spontaneously.

 

Evelin smoothed the bandages covering her eyes as calmly as possible.

 

“By any chance, can I take off this bandage? I’m bleeding so much I’m dizzy…”

 

“Then take a nap.”

 

If it were you, would you be able to sleep?

 

When this method didn’t work, it was time for Evelin to look for another method.

 

[The ‘Flamethrower’ location is in the direction the arrow points.]

 

She internally cheered at the system window that appeared at the right time.

 

She was so happy that her mouth formed a ▽ shape.

 

She has a gun, but she’s sure to miss it with her eyes covered right now.

 

It was no use because if she did the three cheers he would know she was shooting.

 

On the other hand, the flamethrower has a wide range, so even if it misses, it can cause even a slight burn.

 

Enough to be a threat to Holloway…

 

‘…Is it?’

 

She didn’t know if anything would pose a threat to that guy, but it was still better than nothing.

 

Holloway stared at Evelin’s blue lips, touching his chin as the corners of her quivering mouth twitched.

 

‘When did she get scared…’

 

Holloway observed the sudden emotional change with interest.

 

A faint sense of anticipation arose from the bottom as to how to avoid this situation.

 

Holloway was so focused on Evelin that he didn’t even realize it.

 

Evelin, who was unable to see anything, lightly pushed him, who was cupping his own face.

 

When she got out of his arms, she crawled.

 

It was an unfortunate accident that occurred because she lost so much blood that her legs lost strength.

 

‘If only I could get my hands on the flamethrower…!’

 

She couldn’t do anything, but still.

 

Fortunately, she saw an arrow floating in the air, so she just had to follow it.

 

Although at some point, she unintentionally touched something mushy and started trembling in surprise, she was fine.

 

The reason the bandage got wet was because of sweat.

 

Not tears.

 

Holloway leisurely watched Evelin crawling hard.

 

“Turtle?”

 

‘It’ll only be a little while since he’s relaxing like that!’

 

Evelin crawled hard and finally got the flamethrower. She opened her mouth wide at the feeling of iron sticking to her hand.

 

[‘Flamethrower’ acquired!]

 

[Flamethrower

 

Features: Wide area attack is possible. You can set the thing in front of you on fire.]

 

Even the demons?!

 

[This is the right temperature to burn a human!]

 

‘…So you’re saying that’s not the case about the demons?’

 

Evelin was dumbfounded by the horrifying and unfortunate explanation. Still, she might be able to deal at least some of her blows.

 

She couldn’t see the flamethrower, thus she fumbled to get into position awkwardly.

 

Seeing Evelin squirming as she sat up with her back to him, Holloway strode towards her.

 

Although he only walked a few steps, Holloway arrived behind her and stopped.

 

Evelin licked her dry lips.

 

She couldn’t have known what she didn’t know.

 

Holloway’s coolness touched her back and made goosebumps all over her body.

 

“Are you all done?”

 

Evelin’s hand holding the flamethrower tightened as she heard the voice playing with her.

 

“You better be careful.”

 

Her voice suddenly filled with confidence.

 

Holloway glanced at the weapon in Evelin’s hand and understood, yet pretended not to know and asked back.

 

“What?”

 

“Even though I can’t open one’s heart, I’m good at opening their mouth. That’s because my specialty is breaking teeth.”

 

“Ah…”

 

When he let out a small exclamation, she turned around and aimed straight at his center.

 

Holloway looked at Evelin a little suspiciously as she grinned happily.

 

“Do you know what that is? How did you know it was there?”

 

“Because I saw it earlier.”

 

“…”

 

Unbelievably incredible. It was unbelievably incredible.

 

Evelin held her pounding heart and gulped, but fortunately, the gauge didn’t rise as she suspected.

 

For Holloway didn’t particularly suspect her.

 

If it was Evelin, after seeing the location of the flamethrower in advance, it wouldn’t be strange for her to find it later. Judging from her actions so far, her ability to avoid monsters and survive is excellent.

 

‘…No, is it luck?’

 

It would be fair to say that she’s lucky.

 

However, he didn’t know if her sense of direction would be this good…

 

[Holloway’s danger gauge has increased by 5.]

 

“…!”

 

Evelin’s eyes widened in surprise from inside the bandages.

 

After she thought it would be fine…

 

The more Holloway thought about it and considered it one by one, the more he couldn’t understand Evelin’s actions.

 

‘It does seem suspicious.’

 

Evelin muttered deliberately as if to make everyone listen.

 

“It was fortunate that it was in a place that was easy to find…”

 

“…”

 

It seems like she intentionally let him know…

 

His eyes narrowed.

 

[Holloway’s danger gauge has increased by 10.]

 

Evelin cried and ate mustard, pretending not to know.

 

“As a mere human being, this is all I can do. If you don’t back down, I will use this.”

 

“Mere human being…”

 

Did she really say that because she knew who he was, or just because?

 

[Holloway decides to watch you for now.]

 

[Holloway’s danger gauge starts from 0!]

 

[From now on, if you do anything suspicious in front of Holloway 5 times, you will be considered an enemy.]

 

[If the favorability level exceeds 15%, it will be completely withdrawn.]

 

F-For now, the hurdle has been passed.

 

Evelin let out a sigh of relief, out of sight.

 

Holloway took a step back and calmly opened his mouth.

 

“You’re holding the flamethrower upside down. What would happen if you shot it like that?”

 

“The one becoming barbeque… is me?”

 

“Dingdongdang.

”

 

F*ck!

 

Evelin used her clumsy skills to fix the flamethrower again.

 

“No, I mean, I think that the original position of it that I was holding was right. It’s a bit uncomfortable…”

 

Evelin tilted her head, feeling like she was somehow becoming more uncomfortable.

 

“Or maybe you should just believe in yourself.”

 

Evelin couldn’t trust herself as much as she could trust Holloway.

 

She hesitated, then corrected herself as he said.

 

Since he was the final boss, she never imagined that he would kill her in such a ridiculous way.

 

Watching Evelin put on a victorious smile, Holloway eventually covered his eyes with his hands and bowed at his waist.

 

“Pfft… ”

 

Holloway even trembled slightly. It was rather cute that she so obediently believed that again, like an idiot.

 

Believing in the words of the man threatening her, she held it upside down, aiming at Holloway.

 

“I’m not there, though. I’m here.”

 

Evelin turned the direction slightly.

 

“No, not there, here.”

 

“Here?”

 

“Nono, here.”

 

“I-Is it here?”

 

“Here.”

 

Evelin couldn’t bear to keep going in the wrong direction and exclaimed.

 

“AAGH!”

 

Wherever it is, what the hell! I’ll just use it!

 

As Evelin was about to press the button on the flamethrower, Holloway grabbed her hand and stopped her.

 

“How can you trust people so well?”

 

“…Yes?”

 

“It’s going to be fired the other way, you know.”

 

“No, I mean, you…”

 

You said the opposite!

 

As expected, hearing the demon’s words won’t do.

 

This engraved in Evelin’s bones that she was more trustworthy than the demon’s words.

 

“I saved Sister again, right?”

 

“…What do you mean.”

 

That sounds like a bullshit.

 

He almost killed her, yet to think that he said he saved her.

 

Although he was outrageous, Holloway was sincere.

 

Even with her eyes covered, Evelin’s dumbfounded expression was so funny that Holloway laughed heartily and then wiped the tears from his eyes.

 

He admitted as he looked at Evelin’s lips chattering ceaselessly.

 

‘It’s no fun if I take the comedian’s life.’

 

Even though she wouldn’t change after being stuffed, the thought of these plump lips no longer moving made him feel sick with an unpleasant feeling.

 

Holloway’s laughter suddenly stopped.

 

It wasn’t a good sign.

 

A fanfare sounded and fireworks exploded in front of Evelin, who had no way of understanding Holloway’s complicated feelings.

 

[Congratulations! ☆٩(｡•ω<｡)و The ‘Stuffed Beautiful Evelin’ route will be completely deleted!]

[Congratulations! ☆٩(｡•ω<｡)و The ‘Stuffed Beautiful Evelin’ route will be completely deleted!]

 

F-Finished!

 

I succeeded!

 

I completed the 09th story quest and calmed down his explosive possessiveness.

 

I-I lived. I lived…

 

“It’s amazing to see you talking so non-stop even though you know what I put close to Sister’s neck earlier. Not only that, but you even threaten me with things like this?”

 

I guess I haven’t lived yet.

 

At that time, long fingers carefully removed my hair from around my lips.

 

[Due to excessive bleeding, problems begin to occur in your body.]

 

As if I was waiting for the window to appear, I started getting chills and my hand holding the flamethrower started shaking.

 

It certainly didn’t seem that heavy, yet it felt like the flamethrower had suddenly become heavier.

 

It felt like my body was being pressed against something and I couldn’t breathe properly.

 

I felt the eerie sensation of my blood escaping. To come to my senses, I forced my stumbling body upright.

 

At that time, Holloway suddenly pressed the wound on my arm.

 

“Aakh!”

 

My mind, which was far away from the pain, came back again.

 

Holloway didn’t care about my screams and didn’t remove the hand that was pressing on my wound.

 

A sharp pain pressed down on my arm. I couldn’t stand it anymore and cried, threatening.

 

“It hurts! Stop! Or I’ll really shoot you!”

 

Despite my lengthy threats, Holloway ignored my painful groans and asked.

 

“What are you going to say next?”

 

I had nothing to say, holding his hands tightly and praying earnestly.

 

“Let go of those hands for a bit!”

 

It hurts so much, you know!

 

“Ah, this?”

 

Yet instead of letting go, Holloway pressed harder.

 

“AAGH!”

 

It hurt so much that I burst into tears.

 

F*ck, I don’t care. I’ll shoot you!

 

The moment I was about to shoot, my head became dizzy.

 

My body lost strength in an instant to the point that I even lost sight of the flamethrower I was holding in my hand.

 

[You become incapacitated due to excessive bleeding.]

 

As I fell backwards, Holloway supported me firmly.

 

“Answer before you faint.”

 

Even in the midst of this…!

 

“Sister.”

 

Gritting my teeth, I spit out the words in an effort to pretend not to know him.

 

“Be careful on your night journey…”

 

Although I couldn’t tell Holloway’s expression or thoughts right now, I knew one thing.

 

[Favorability has increased by 4%.]

 

[Attachment has increased by 5%.]

 

It didn’t seem like Holloway was in a bad mood.

 

I guess he mistakenly thought I was a good person who cared about his well-being at night.
