My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again

Chapter 114   Breakfast

“So, what’s the story you came to talk about?”

Agetha switched the topic, saying that.

Come to think of it, I did come into this room mentioning I had something to talk about.

“I talked about it yesterday, right? The Observer told me that if it was determined the world has been saved, I’ll be returned to the original time. So, even after a day, I haven’t returned to the original time. I thought it might mean that the world is still on the brink of destruction.”

“I see. Indeed, that possibility seems quite likely.”

“But we defeated the Demon Lord Zoga, the root cause of the world’s destruction. So, what could be the reason for the world’s destruction?”

“There are still dangerous entities besides Demon Lord Zoga. The demonic forces under the Demon Lord are still present, and there’s this mysterious organization called Chaosism.”

“True, that’s a good point.”

Even though we defeated Demon Lord Zoga, it doesn’t mean that this world has become peaceful.

“Hey, Agetha. If the world is on the verge of destruction, I want to prevent that. Will you cooperate with me?”

“I’m a hero. It’s my job to save the world, so cooperating is a given, right?”

“I see.”

If Agetha is willing to cooperate, that’s a relief. After all, she is a hero.

“However, I wonder where we should start.”

If we don’t know the cause of the world’s destruction, we can’t come up with a plan.

“Agetha, do you have any idea about the cause of the world’s destruction?”

“Well, for example, it could be those guys from the Chaosism. I don’t know the specifics, though.”

“I see.”

In that case, it seems like we’ll have to investigate diligently.

“Kiska, can I make a suggestion?”

“What is it?”

“I want to go somewhere with you, just for fun.”

Fun, huh? I thought, is it really okay to do something so carefree when the world might be on the verge of destruction? However, being too tense isn’t good either.

“Alright, let’s go somewhere for fun.”

“Yay!”

She said with joy.

After Agetha finished changing, we headed downstairs.

We heard that breakfast was prepared for us in the dining room on the first floor.

“Good morning.”

“Ah, good morning. Nyau, are you having breakfast too?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As we entered the dining room, Sage Nyau greeted us. There seemed to be something awkward about her demeanor. She glanced behind her.

Ah, I see.

Already seated at the table was Hero Eligion. Although he had been unconscious yesterday, he seemed to have recovered in a day and looked healthy.

“Good morning, Hero.”

To be polite, I greeted him respectfully.

“Ah, good morning.”

Hero Eligion returned the greeting, but his expression seemed tense.

“Hey, Agetha, say hello.”

I quietly urged Agetha, who was standing behind me doing nothing.

“Hello.”

Unbelievably, she said it without even making eye contact. Hey, he’s not just anyone; he’s a prince and the Hero. Show some respect. It’s too rude. Just as I was about to apologize, at that moment—

“I’ve heard most of your circumstances from Sage Nyau,” Hero Eligion began without reproaching Agetha’s attitude. Thanks to that, I missed the timing to apologize.

“Is that so?” Once again, Agetha responded bluntly.

“There are various things I want to confirm with you, but first―”

Hero Eligion let out a sigh. What could he be about to say? What if he sentences me to execution with the authority of a prince? There are too many possibilities for execution.

“Thank you. On behalf of the citizens, I express my gratitude to you for defeating the Demon Lord.”

Hero Eligion bowed earnestly. I widened my eyes in surprise. I hadn’t expected to be thanked.

“Kiska, you also cooperated. Let me express my gratitude to you as well. Thank you.”

“Uh, thank you.”

On top of that, I was also thanked personally. I hastily bowed my head in return.

“Now then, would you mind explaining the details of this incident from your own perspective?” Hero Eligion said, looking at Agetha. Despite having heard the circumstances from Sage Nyau, it shouldn’t be sufficient. It’s only natural to ask for an explanation. With that in mind, I looked at Agetha.

“No way,” she bluntly refused.

“You, don’t refuse a request from Hero-sama!!” I hurriedly expressed my disapproval to Agetha. I hope this doesn’t worsen Hero Eligion’s mood.

“It’s just a hassle.”

“That’s not an excuse! Properly explain it to Hero-sama!”

“Well, if Kiska says so, fine.”

Although clearly disgruntled, she nodded, so I’ll consider it a win.

“I apologize! I’ll scold her later, so please forgive us.”

“Ah, yeah, it’s fine. No need to apologize.”

It seems he has accepted the situation. Phew, Hero-sama is so kind.

“Well then, let’s have breakfast while we talk,” and so, the explanation to Hero Eligion began.

Chapter 115   Explanation

“Alright, but who are you?” Hero Eligion, sitting across from Agetha, jumped straight into the main topic and posed the question. By the way, we had already cleared the area while having breakfast, so only the four of us—me, Agetha, Hero Eligion, and Sage Nyau—were present to hear this important conversation.

“I’m the real hero,” Agetha replied in a blunt manner. I was anxious, wondering if her disrespectful attitude would be considered rude to Hero Eligion.

“I thought I was the hero,” he said.

“You’re a fake hero created by an organization called Chaosism.” Agetha explained. She went on to describe her own sealing with the Holy Sword Hagentia and how Hero Eligion, possessing that sword, gained the qualifications of a hero.

“Do you have any proof that you’re the real hero?”

“I defeated the Demon Lord. I don’t think I need any more reasons.”

Agetha said this, and Hero Eligion pondered for a moment. After a few seconds, he spoke.

“Indeed, it seems I’m a fake hero.”

“Do you believe our story?”

I never expected to be trusted so easily and blurted out that question instinctively.

“Well, yeah. When you think about it objectively, it seems I’m not a hero,” Hero Eligion said while displaying his status screen.

“Look at what happened this morning.”

The screen Hero Eligion showed us displayed his rank: Platinum. I recalled that Hero Eligion was ranked seventh among the Masters.

“Could it be that Agetha-san became a Master?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m currently at Master rank.”

“I held the rank of Master because Agetha-san was sealed within the sword. Losing it means I’ve likely lost the qualifications of being a Master.”

I see, so such things can be deduced from rank changes.

“Hero Agetha, I acknowledge that you are the true hero. However, there’s one thing I can’t understand. Why did you kill the Holy Knight Canaria?”

Hero Eligion’s expression as he said this was stern. It was a question that had to be asked. Canaria was, after all, a favorite loyal subject to Hero Eligion, and the fact that she had been killed was likely something he couldn’t accept.

“She was a traitor. She was scheming to revive the dead Demon Lord. That’s why we couldn’t afford to let her live.”

“Do you have any evidence that she was a traitor?”

To Hero Eligion’s question, Agetha looked at me while saying “Kiska.”

“Let me show you that.”

What she meant immediately became clear.

“This is a ring used to resurrect the dead Demon Lord, and Holy Knight Canaria had it.”

Saying that, I took out the ring from my pocket.

“Indeed, it looks like a special ring at first glance, but there’s also a possibility that the ring is just junk you guys prepared, right?”

Well, what Hero Eligion said is reasonable.

But I have one more piece of evidence to convince him that Holy Knight Canaria was a traitor.

“Hero Eligion-sama.”

“Kiska-kun, I’m no longer a hero.”

Certainly, that’s true.

“Eligion-sama.”

And so, I corrected myself. Since he is the first prince, this address should be the most appropriate.

“Do you know the term ‘Luna Village’?”

As soon as I said that, Lord Eligion’s body twitched.

“Holy Knight Canaria seems to be a survivor of Luna Village. Therefore, she harbored strong revenge against you, my lord.”

“That’s ridiculous…”

Lord Eligion stood up and slammed the table. Sage Nyau, who was sitting next to him, murmured worriedly, “Are you okay…?”

“Holy Knight Canaria, being an illegitimate child, was entrusted to Luna Village’s parents at a young age. If we interrogate Canaria’s parents, we might be able to corroborate this.”

“In other words, she had a motive to betray me…”

Eligion sat back in his chair in a daze.

“I’ll look into Holy Knight Canaria in my own way… Thank you for sharing your story with me.”

“No, thank you for believing in our story.”

“Oh, right. Hero Agetha, you defeated the Demon Lord, so you will receive a reward from His Majesty the King. Also, I would like you to participate in the triumphal ceremony held in the capital. After all, the main character of the triumphal ceremony is you, the hero. So, would you come to the capital?”

Come to think of it, after defeating the Demon Lord, the hero’s group was supposed to go to the capital and participate in the triumphal ceremony.

“No way. Too much trouble.”

Agetha refused with those words.

“I don’t like standing out too much. I even hate calling myself a hero. If you want, you can say that you defeated the Demon Lord.”

“Indeed, it’s not that simple…”

Eligion had a troubled expression.

“At the very least, you don’t have to participate in the triumphal ceremony, but could you please come to the capital? I’d like to entertain you.”

“I don’t want to.”

Well, it’s quite something to casually refuse the request of the Crown Prince.

“Hey, Agetha. Wouldn’t it be okay to go to the capital? If you go there, you might find various interesting things.”

This morning, Agetha expressed a desire to go out and have fun. In that case, going to the capital for sightseeing might not be a bad idea.

“If Kiska says so, I’ll do it.”

“I’m glad you’re in the mood for it. Well then, I’ll arrange for a carriage again, so shall we go to the capital together?”

Saying that, Lord Eligion seemed ready to head somewhere. He had already finished his breakfast. It seemed like he intended to conclude the conversation.

“Eligion-sama, there’s one more thing I’d like to tell you.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“In fact, our battle is not over yet.”

The world is not yet saved from the threat of destruction. However, the specifics of what will happen are still unknown. All I could do was convey a sense of caution. Even so, Eligion nodded and said, “I’ll keep that in mind.”
