How a Nuisance Character Survives in a Horror Game

 

“It’s all solved, Evelin.”

 

“You can raise your head.”

 

Would it be okay if I secretly kissed the back of his hand?

 

Holloway, who had no idea what was about to happen, straightened out my messy hair.

 

Cleta, who was watching, also raised his hand and hit me.

 

“It hurts.”

 

“If you don’t like Miss Evelin, you can’t do anything rashly.”

 

Peony scolded Cleta harshly and then helped Holloway straighten my hair.

 

Before pressing number 1, I looked at Moran and quietly moved closer to Holloway.

 

As expected, I can’t press the wrong one and end up licking the back of Cleta’s hand or doing something like a courtship dance.

 

Such a terrible disaster can’t happen.

 

[Favorability has increased by 2%.]

 

[Attachment has increased by 1%.]

 

I was puzzled by the sudden increase in the number even though I hadn’t done anything, yet surprisingly, no one gave me an explanation.

 

Instead, the window flashed as if the time had expired, and I quickly pressed number 1.

 

[Number 1 ‘Kiss the back of Holloway’s hand. Smack. (( ˘ ❥ ˘ ))’ was selected.]

 

It was when my body moved on its own and I was about to kiss the back of Holloway’s hand.

 

Tak.

 

Holloway stopped my forehead just before my lips hit him.

 

“What are you going to do?”

 

How can I say that with my own mouth? Shamefully.

 

“Kiss…?”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because I want to.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Did my heart tell me to?”

 

“Why?”

 

“…”

 

Why are you acting so scary…

 

I gently let go of Holloway’s hand.

 

It’s not that I don’t want to do it. Holloway stopped me from doing it.

 

So I insisted that I was innocent, yet the system suddenly turned around and forced me to take the action I chose.

 

[If you do not execute the selected choice, number 2 will be automatically selected.]

 

Why?

 

Holloway is blocking me, so what am I going to do?

 

Although I was embarrassed, the system window floating in the air was also indifferent.

 

…Wouldn’t it be better to lick the back of Cleta’s hand?

 

It’s better than dancing, though.

 

[If you do not execute the selected choice, number 3 will be automatically selected.]

 

“Hey!”

 

That’s not it, you know! It was originally number 2, you know!

 

I jumped up screaming into the air.

 

As it happened, Cleta was right in front of me, so instead of being surprised, he put his hand on my forehead.

 

“Does it hurt?”

 

“Be quiet.”

 

“You were the loudest.”

 

I can’t do it. I have to give him a kiss somehow.

 

I held the hand of Holloway, who was sitting quietly, tightly.

 

He must have read my intense gaze as he immediately refused.

 

“no, I don’t want to.”

 

“Just let me do it once.”

 

If not, I have to dance.

 

What is the dance of courtship. I really don’t want to dance that.

 

“What will you do for me if I do that?”

 

“Anything.”

 

As long as I don’t have to dance.

 

“Ah, except for dying. Except for asking for my body. And…”

 

“I’ll ask for something without hurting you.”

 

[Holloway begins to happily think about what to wish for.]

 

Then he held out the back of his hand to me.

 

For a moment, I was conflicted about whether dancing would be better, but I couldn’t have one more person watching my messy dance.

 

It would have been better if it were just Moran and Holloway…

 

Wait, then you can just send them out.

 

Anyway, all my sides were out in front of Peony and Holloway.

 

I felt like something bad would happen to me if I kissed Holloway and granted him a wish.

 

I looked at Cleta and pointed to the door.

 

“Get out.”

 

Cleta grinned and shook his head.

 

“Please leave for a moment. I’m begging you like this.”

 

“Hmm, I don’t want to…”

 

I pushed Cleta towards the door, but he didn’t move an inch.

 

…Shit.

 

“Sister.”

 

Holloway urged.

 

[There are 5 seconds left until the courtship dance.]

 

The window sparkled unluckily.

 

Is it the dance or Holloway’s wish?

 

I kissed the back of Holloway’s hand.

 

Since all my sides were out, there will definitely be people who will tell me to just dance. Right?

 

But no matter how shameful I was, it wasn’t so much that I would dance twice.

 

“

Smack

. (( ˘ ❥ ˘ ))”

 

Holloway gently rubbed the back of his hand on his clothes in response to my light and dirty kiss. I was hurt, though.

 

I checked Holloway’s likeability.

 

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

 

Favorability: 29.5%

 

Attachment: 28%

 

Possessiveness: 26.2%]

 

[※He unconsciously wants to protect you. His eyes are on you.]

 

[※He rejects you unconsciously. It becomes difficult to reach more than 30%.]

 

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

 

Jealousy: 13%

 

Anxiety symptoms: 10%

 

(=connected emotion: Possessiveness)]

 

Huh? That’s pretty high!

 

I was busy with the rise and fall, yet the numbers rose considerably more than I expected.

 

So, is it fine to kiss him?

 

If I raise it just a little bit more, I think I’ll be able to see ‘Happy Us’ again.

 

Since I can see it when all numbers reach 30% or more, a different reaction may appear.

 

Anyway, he really hated kisses.

 

It doesn’t even go up 0.1%. That person is really tight.

 

Even though the numbers have risen so much, it’s not enough for kisses?

 

It turns out he was a Confucian boy.

 

No, it’s not.

 

Only then did I notice the writing below the system window.

 

It will be difficult to reach more than 30%…?

 

Subconsciously protecting me and pushing me away meant that this demon was refusing to give his heart to humans.

 

Ah, it gets more and more difficult.

 

It wasn’t the time to like it because it was easier to climb than I thought.

 

It’s still atrocious, but Holloway’s favorability has almost entered hell mode.

 

I can’t believe it’s blocked at the 30% threshold.

 

Although unfortunate, I had to put my weapon next to me first.

 

“And where is my flamethrower?”

 

“Flamethrower? I don’t know. Did you have one of those?”

 

Yes. I had that too.

 

There’s no gun in sight.

 

I tried to get up to see if he had hidden it somewhere in the room, yet Moran grabbed me and forced me to sit down again.

 

“You can’t move. I only gave first aid. It was so bad on your shoulder and back that I used up almost all the potions. Your butt… well, anyway, that place, and your arm weren’t healed enough.”

 

Why does Peony’s cheeks blush when she talks about my butt?

 

“You found potions… No, was there any potion in this hotel?”

 

“Yes. There were basic things like potions and first aid kits. Isn’t that fortunate? We were fortunate that the old hotel also had an infirmary.”

 

“Did you go to the infirmary?”

 

“No, I just happened to pick it up discarded.”

 

An infirmary…

 

I’m scared that there might be a sick monster somewhere, so let’s avoid that place.

 

“But I need to find my weapon…”

 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but Evelin, you were lying down in the hallway. There were no flamethrowers or guns when we brought you here.”

 

“…Huh?”

 

“There were no flamethrowers or guns.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“…”

 

“HUH?!”

 

For a moment, I almost looked at Holloway.

 

Anyone could see that this was Holloway’s doing. Not only flamethrowers but also guns were gone.

 

No, they were taken from me.

 

Even though it was so hard to get it!

 

[Holloway looks happily at you as you despair.]

 

That cursed bastard…

 

Even though it was thanks to those weapons that I was able to be confident.

 

Would you be satisfied if I found a weapon and shot it again?

 

“My weapons…”

 

The wide area weapon that could incinerate everyone was lost.

 

The moment I couldn’t bear it and jumped up from my seat, my head started spinning and I sat down on the bed helplessly.

 

Moran noticed and sat down next to me and comforted me.

 

“Miss Evelin… Don’t be too upset.”

 

“If I don’t have it, the monsters will attack again…”

 

Moran flinched at the word “monster,” and her face was colored with contemplation.

 

It seemed like it wasn’t a fear of revealing what happened with Holloway, but a genuine fear of monsters.

 

Cleta looked at the shaking peonies.

 

“Moran, are you okay?”

 

“Ah. Yes… I’m scared…”

 

“That’s understandable.”

 

After looking at the two pink figures for a while, I lay down on the bed.

 

The thief who stole the weapons that cost me my life was also lying next to me.

 

I don’t want to do anything.

 

I lost all the weapons I worked so hard to collect. I felt empty, as if Holloway had kicked down the tower I had worked so hard to build.

 

What should I do to make that guy cry?

 

I’m the only one crying every day… I want him to cry too. Just kneel under me…

 

Ding!

 

[The hotel’s difficulty level increases by 1 level.]

 

[The current hotel’s level of risk is ‘You Are Now Dead.’]

 

[Please look up, down, left and right carefully. A moment of inattention will lead you to death.]

 

“…Yes?”

 

“Sister, what?”

 

No, wait, wait!

 

What are you talking about, system guy!

 

I jumped up from my lying down position.

 

[‘Demon of Temptation’ Suriel has discovered that you are the culprit who destroyed the collection.]

 

Quick-witted bastard…
