The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (155)
Episode 155
* * *
“I knew you would come.”
“Do you have any prophetic powers?”
“There are pioneers everywhere in the search for the truth of the world. And many of them are our colleagues.”
Edmund’s blue eyes darkened. The small building near the marina was humid and hot even in the middle of the day. A musty smell filled the dimly lit room.
Edmund would normally have shut his nose and took a step backwards, but this time he seemed okay.
Inside the building, a man and a woman were each sitting. Both had their faces hidden in robes and hoods large enough to obscure their silhouettes.
The man turned his back and fiddled with the ropes on the floor, and the woman faced Edmund.
“Sir Edmund Gloucester.”
One of Edmund’s eyebrows twitched as he said his name. But there was no other reaction.
“The reality is nothing compared to the fame. What the hell have you done to this little space?”
“Can’t you guess?”
“…… You messed up people.”
Edmund mumbled, and the woman clapped briefly. mate, mate. It was a move that was so dry that it looked like it had no sincerity.
“That’s right.”
It is said that the way everyone reads the book is to designate it as a forbidden book.
The propaganda method of the Amy and Polita series was also similar. No one took the reality of the night escape romance story that hit the capital ‘seriously’. However, I just thought it was ‘fun’.
I added it because there were mixed riddles that could not be solved. Whether it’s theology or magic, I just thought of it as an object for solving quizzes that are not easily encountered in everyday life.
The reason why men and women who read the novel did not inform the public and visited the pier alone with few people…….
It was fun, along with a plausible interpretation that the lover, the real model of the main character, is helping the lovers in a sad story financially.
Could it be that there is something hidden in the product? Maybe it’s a sequel to the book.
I don’t go alone, but two lovers go together.
In the ‘book’, no matter how enigmatic it was, it was published openly like this. Could it be dangerous? Everyone knows that there are no people there, right?
So I was able to get over it.
They laid the camp and kidnapped people who just snooped into the empty building out of curiosity.
Even if someone said something about the book, people just laughed at it.
After solving the riddle hidden in the book first, a half-abandoned marina was revealed?
Few people take such things seriously.
Besides, the marina was a space where anyone could come. There were few people using it, so there was no boatman left, but when an ordinary person looked around during the day, nothing was strange.
Unless someone like Edmund Gloucester comes and takes a look around.
“Are you here alone?”
“What am I afraid of that I should bring others with me?”
“You must be guessing who we are.”
“I’m not even the piper… … Do I really have to deal with these little bastards who kidnap people for such frivolous things?”
“No.”
The woman came silently and grabbed Edmund’s arm. A familiar feeling rose on his arm.
The woman cleverly avoided Edmund’s startled attempt to shake it off and let out a laugh.
“You have come alone because you have no intention of accusing us. Because I’m curious… … Because I want to know. We know people like you very well……. People who are eager to experiment, to find out. He is a very good colleague of ours.”
“…….”
The woman’s voice sounded like the sound of a snake sliding down a tree stump. It was soft, faint, and creepy.
“What do you mean by the truth you know?”
Edmund nodded nervously. The woman with only her mouth exposed under the hood laughed.
“Can I tell you straight up?”
Seogung, Seogung, Scoop, Scoop.
From the corner of the building, without looking back, I could hear a man sharpening something. A subtle, irritating sound, as if it were touching a nerve.
“…… This world, no, this country and the world of ‘us’.”
There was a faint rustling sound, like a snake gliding on its tongue. It sounded like laughter.
Through the hood, the woman’s eyes flashed faintly like lightning and then disappeared. It was like the tip of a needle forged in anger.
“They are all toys of the goddess.”

“…… What is this?”
It was when I was looking around the pendant necklace that Ophelia had given me as a gift.
It was only after I realized that it was a piece of Ophelia that I could finally get information about.
As I touched the piece of the mainspring key contained in Ophelia’s second letter with my fingertips, I felt a faint bump on it.
Just in case, I rubbed a lot of charcoal on the mainspring key and printed it out with paper, but there was nothing special about it.
I sighed and looked down at the only geometrical pattern on the paper, then rubbed my soot-drenched hand on the blank paper.
I couldn’t even go out and wash my hands or make a loud noise because it was an act that I did secretly after I was tired in the room alone and insisted on going to sleep.
I tried to sit down on the chair with my hands clasped so that the soot didn’t get anywhere else, but I heard a sharp noise.
Karang, Kang!
The pendant necklace hanging from his neck fell to the floor. I was terrified and grabbed the necklace involuntarily with my soot-stained hands.
It looked like it was carved out of pure silver, but if you drop it incorrectly, the surface might be damaged. Then, suddenly, a strange thing flashed in my eyes.
At the tip of the bird’s beak, which had been crafted on the surface, it seemed that a crack could be seen.
If I hadn’t touched it with my sootty hands, it was all shiny silver and the place would not have been visible.
I tried to push the tip of the mainspring key into it, just in case.
I thought it would take time, but unexpectedly, it went in without a hitch. I just turned it around.
Crackle, wiggle.
The sound of something being pushed was heard, and the front of the pendant opened wide. It was filled with something.
At first glance, it was a black mass that looked like a piece of obsidian. Is it a gemstone? Under the sun, it seemed to turn a little reddish airway.
The surface was very black and shiny, as if it would swallow any light. When I pressed it with my fingertips, it was incredibly hard.
In the meantime, the crackling sound of the pendant seemed to be the sound of the black stone hitting the inside of the pendant.
“…… What is it?”
It looks like I’ve seen it somewhere… … ? I narrowed my eyes. Where did you see this?
I thought for a long time, rolling the lump with my fingertips, and almost jumped the next moment.
“…… Isn’t that the catalyst Sir Edmund was talking about?”
Why is that precious thing here? I was stunned. Even the size was different.
It was several times the size of the stone in the lighter that Sir Edmund was proud to use.
It was when I was observing while tearing up stones here and there. A cautious voice was heard from behind the door.
“Lady, are you still sleeping?”
“…… still in bed What’s going on?”
“You have a guest.”
“Guest?”
“Lady Emilia!”
It’s Lady Beth’s voice!
I put the stone back into the pendant and hastily closed the lid.
There was the sound of a rattling and automatic locking inside. I tucked the necklace into my clothes, hurriedly fell on the bed, and as soon as I rolled up the blanket, the door opened.
“Lady Emilia, are you okay?”
“…… Yes. Lady Bass. Did you miss me so much that you couldn’t even wait to knock?”
“of course!”
I gave up trying to convince Lady Beth of the bubbly replies. what…… I didn’t notice the necklace, so it’ll be fine.
“…… The clothes are like this, and since I was lying in bed all the time, it doesn’t look like I’m going to welcome guests.”
“What is going on between us! It’s like wearing pajamas, so you can show it off casually!”
Lady Beth might be ready, but I’m not yet… … . Instead of answering that, I just smiled.
“Thank you for taking a good look at me, even in this way……. What’s going on?”
“That’s right, Lady Emilia. that…….”
“What is it, are you looking at me?”
Did you rip a book or have an accident? Did anything happen? Beth didn’t know anything about Elodie and the princess, so she wouldn’t have been able to divulge the secret.
When I looked at Beth curiously, who was looking at me strangely, Beth hesitated and said.
“…… I got an invitation from the Marquis of Windrose.”
“Yes?”
