Chapter 181

"To be honest, if it weren't for Leah, I would have definitely taken the bait if I hadn't foreseen it in advance."

It's terrible.

Will would definitely take the bait not only because of the inertia of "helping Treya survive in the royal family" over the years, but also because...

a very subtle "fate factor".

A year before Edward's death, that is, now, the Systrom family disrupted a royal internal struggle, forcing the "fourth prince" who had concentrated the military power to lose the military power in his hands.

Distributed to several other princes who were not good at managing the army.

This matter is very important to the Systrom family. Without this matter, the royal family of Entak would not have dispersed the most important power.

This matter is very important to Treya. Although she did not participate, it indirectly affected Treya's future destiny while affecting the royal family.

So, knowing that Treya appeared in the wrong place at this time, he would definitely take the bait.

"So, Will, what will you do now?"

"..."

This question made Will silent.

He pulled his hood down a little, not knowing how to answer.

If you want to avoid the "Yandere Killing", the best way is to "escape".

Since you know it's a trap, of course you won't step into it.

Why would anyone jump into a pit when they see it?

After all, if he falls into the hands of the other party, Will doesn't know what he will become.

But...

He looked at the "missing person notice".

A simple missing person notice is full of traps and lies.

But Will understands that the font is real.

When writing, Treya likes to write beautiful and formal cursive, which is inherited from her mother's "elven writing".

Normally, she would not give up the writing method her mother taught her.

Her mental state is indeed "blackened" to the point that she can write in such a sloppy way.

She should not be comfortable and happy in this state.

What's more...

What she left behind is such a "trap" that looks like a "confession".

Sweet but poisonous, "confession" that only "you and I" know, it's too cheating.

Now, will Treya also be in the palace, stroking the missing person notice, looking forward to his arrival?

"So, run. Let me think, why not go to Novis Town! Don't you have someone waiting for you? And there is also a house?"

Xuna seemed to see his intention to escape, patted his shoulder and said.

"I..."

Will paused.

He took off his hood and raised his head with the same appearance as the missing person notice.

——What a joke, this is the yandere he raised himself!

——Of course there is no one in the world who knows better than him!

——Since ancient times, there have been people who use their love to influence yanderes in works, right?

——Then why is this person not the one who taught them himself? !

"I want to step on this trap, not only do I want to step on it, I also want to turn danger into safety!"

He was quite confident, and even pushed his newly bought handsome glasses.

"Oh?"

Xuna was not angry, but showed an expression of watching his performance with interest.

"I just thought of a whole confession to Leah, promising not to abandon her. Now I might abandon the little princess who threw her love in my face - how could I do such a thing?"

"Huh?"

"I have to treat everyone equally, and I, Will, will not refuse anyone."

"You can really make a very classic "scumbag speech" with a righteous face?"

"I didn't abandon them, so I'm not a scumbag, right?"

"... You are worthy of it."

Xuna showed a trace of "disdain" on her face. Of course, this disdain is more like "hearing such words, of course you have to make such an expression" that only a particularly familiar bad friend would show.

However, Will immediately retracted his frivolousness just now, and changed his tone to speak seriously:

"But, Xuna. This decision is full of risks. I... can do it alone, if you don't want to take risks."

"It's completely okay to quit now."

"You don't have to follow me."

Chapter 206 Quitting the team, she...?

After saying this, which was more like driving her away than letting her choose...

He finally dared to look up at Shuona.

Because he was afraid that Shuona would glare back at him angrily before he finished speaking.

But surprisingly, Shuona, who usually kept looking at him and waiting for him to finish speaking, turned her head to look somewhere else today.

She didn't seem to be angry about Will's words, looking at the mainland with people coming and going outside the remote street.

Shuona's profile was "beautiful" in a cool way.

It was like a senior sister who would always stand by your side reliably, but was quite willful in her bones.

Although he kept hinting to himself that Shuona was his good brother, it was still difficult to treat such a sister as a brother every time he saw this face.

"Well...are you sure that there will be no problem without my help in the future?"

"This...yeah."

Will nodded, but he lied.

He really wanted Shuona to help him.

She and Leah, who was in her prime and still at home, were both only slightly injured. Will had confidence in her strength in this regard.

But facing the royal family, and Treya, who has her own mysterious "devil power", Will feels that as a royal family, there is really no need for her to get involved.

His mentality is somewhat similar to that of Teacher Leah, who advised him not to mess up the situation at that time.

In the final analysis, the Entak royal family is too bad. Subconsciously, they will think that they will definitely not let go of any "ordinary person" who interferes.

Moreover, Shuna has been injured once because of him, and he is really embarrassed to see her get injured again.

More importantly...

Shuna's eyes that were looking elsewhere were retracted and circled around him.

——Will has never understood why Shuna would be so willing to follow him into danger.

Not only has she always expressed her hope to join his adventure team.

But she is also willing to go to various difficult dungeons with him.

Even... saved his life many times.

It's like...

She has no other "wish" in this world. Following Will to form a team and explore various dungeons together is the only meaning of her life.

I'm worrying too much.

An adventurer like Shuuna who seems to be very sociable and very powerful may have long passed the "achievement" or "material" needs of pursuing dungeons, and just wants to have some fun.

"Really? I thought that with my ability, you would definitely need a logistics person like me in the team, and begged me not to let me leave."

A trace of "disappointment" flashed across Shuuna's face, not pretending, and that's why it just flashed by.

Looking at Shuuna like this...

Will suddenly remembered some memories that were not very clear at first.

This description of the mentality of "someone": to form a team with others to enter the dungeon as the most important thing in his life, but everyone around him thinks that he doesn't ask for anything from the team, maybe he doesn't take it seriously at all, just to have fun and can be kicked out at any time.

So familiar, it's like he repeated it exactly.

This...

This is the description of the protagonist Shu in the original work.

He was kicked out of the team precisely because he gave people this "illusion".

And the reason why he cared so much about the "Morning Star" has not been told to anyone.

Because, when he was in the former Qiming Star, he regarded it as his life's work and regarded the dead "captain" as his most important friend. Otherwise, he would not have been so obsessed as he was later.

Speaking of which, he had noticed before that Shuna's hair color, eye color, school, and age all matched up with the original work.

Now he completely knew the disappearance of the protagonist of the original work.

Thinking about it again, there will be more matching elements-

The time when she "accidentally" joined Qiming Star just happened to be the time when the protagonist rejoined Qiming Star described in the original work.

Her position was logistics-although the reason was that he had instilled some strange things in her letter.

Even the identity of "God Condenser" was exactly the same.

There are not many God Condensers-due to its special nature in the world view.

...

Could it be...? !

The only thing that didn't match up was personality. Whether in the former Qiming Star or in the team of "Will" later, Shuna was not as cheerful as Shuna.

If that's the case, will it be impossible to "quit" her at such a "wrong" time?

"Okay. I know, you said that for my own good."

Xuna didn't seem to notice that Will had so many things in his mind in this short time, and simply stretched.

His expression was still as relaxed as usual, as if he had expected this.

"You saw it...."

"Since it's your decision, then... I'm embarrassed to stay."

"It's okay, this is what I taught you, I know it very well."

"You really won't be completely controlled by the other party like last time?"

"No."

"You won't be drugged and unconscious like last time?"

"Really not!"

"You won't be stripped and drained like last time?"

"This time the advantage is mine!"

Xuna actually laughed when she heard this.

"Well, if you insist on going to the capital, at least hire some thugs, or ask your father for help?"

"... You're talking like my mother."
