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

Chapter 122 Humiliation

Three days after defeating the Demon Lord, today was the day I had a date with Agetha in the royal capital. I followed the events of the previous timeline, visiting the theater in the morning to purchase tickets for six days later and having lunch at a famous restaurant recommended by the staff.

Afterward, Agetha and I strolled through the city, leisurely shopping together. The central district of the royal capital was bustling with numerous shops, catering to both local shoppers and tourists. There was an abundance of goods in various stores, making it enjoyable to simply look around.

However, having explored the shops thoroughly in the previous timeline, it felt a bit dull the second time. Agetha seemed to be enjoying herself, so I stopped by a bookstore to pass the time.

I picked up a book that caught my eye and flipped through its pages. Books were generated through the Priest class skill, “Automatic Scribing,” resulting in a tendency for shelves to be filled with myth-related literature. However, these books were often too formal in content, and I wished for something more casually readable.

There were also spellbooks available. I tried flipping through one, but the content was too complex, and I couldn’t understand what was written.

“Should I head back to Agetha?”

Leaving the bookstore, I walked while searching for Agetha. I found her inside a particular shop, gazing at something.

“What are you looking at?”

I asked, approaching her.

“Um, rings…”

Certainly, in front of Agetha, there were rings displayed in a glass case.

“Do you want one?”

“Yeah, but it’s expensive, so it might be difficult…”

Checking the price tag, it was written as 300,000 El. El was the currency unit in this country.

300,000 El was almost the amount I could earn in half a year as a farmer. It was a considerable sum. Despite wanting to give Agetha a present on this special occasion, it seemed impossible for me to afford it, considering my current balance of 0.

“In my country, there’s a custom where people in love wear the same ring. So, I wanted to wear a matching ring with Kisska…”

“Is that so?”

One ring was 300,000 El. Buying two would cost 600,000 El.

It would be great if there were an easy way to come up with this much money.

“After returning to the royal palace, we had dinner, and then Prince Eligion, who visited my room, asked me to attend the Triumph ceremony. In return for accepting, I received tickets for the VIP seats at the theater, just like in the previous timeline.”

“Kiska, today was enjoyable again.”

On the bed, Agetha and I were relaxing. Perhaps due to crossing a certain line yesterday, Agetha felt closer than usual. Even now, she was leaning comfortably against me. At this proximity, a faint sweet scent emanated from Agetha. Maybe because of this fragrance, I felt an inexplicable desire to indulge Agetha.

“Agetha.”

Calling her name in a somewhat drawn-out tone, I embraced her while enjoying the pleasant warmth coming through the fabric. I started feeling a bit romantic, so I extended my hand, intending to—

“No, Kiska.”

“Why…?”

“Wait until I finish bathing. So please be patient until then.”

If that’s the case, I can endure as much as needed. So, I distanced myself from Agetha. She then got off the bed, preparing to head to the communal bath. Initially, I thought our relationship had started casually, but now I genuinely liked Agetha. Perhaps the more time we spent together, the more I found myself growing fond of her.

◆

The royal palace’s public bath is spacious and open.

In that large bath, Sage Nyau immersed her body.

Due to Nyau’s small stature, when he sits with his buttocks on the floor, her nose is submerged in the bathtub. Therefore, Nyau needs to squat.

While in the bath, one must remain still. Perhaps because of this, Nyau’s mind has been crowded with thoughts.

Deep down, Nyau knows that something is off about herself.

The cause of her strangeness is undoubtedly the man named Kiska and the girl, Agetha, next to him.

When she closes her eyes, she seems to be thinking only about Kiska. When she learned that Kiska and Agetha were lovers in the carriage, she was shocked to the point of tears streaming down involuntarily.

Thinking back to when she cried, various emotions, embarrassment, pity, sadness, well up, making her feel depressed.

“What should Nyau do…”

She mutters in a fading voice.

Even though she has been thinking, the answer has long been clear.

“It’s quite a coincidence to meet here.”

Turning towards the voice, she sees a figure standing in the bathtub.

“Hero Agetha…”

Never expected to meet her in a place like this. Reluctantly, Nyau averts her gaze from the person she doesn’t want to face.

“Mind if I join you?”

“Y-yes.”

Even though she really doesn’t want to, she has no choice but to nod, lacking the courage to refuse.

(What on earth does Nyau want from him?) That’s what Nyau thought.

“Do you like Kiska?”

Nyau’s face twitches at the unexpected question. She never imagined being asked such a thing.

“N-no, it’s not like that…”

She denies it on the spot. After all, the person before her is Kiska’s lover. She can’t affirm it.

“I see, denying it. But, judging by your attitude, it’s hard to think you don’t like Kiska.”

Saying so, Agetha throws a sharp glance at her. Being looked at with such a gaze makes it feel like Agetha can see into her heart, causing Nyau’s heart to race.

“Well, I can understand falling for Kiska since he’s so cool.”

Not knowing how to respond, Nyau can only stay silent. However, when Agetha mentioned that Kiska is cool, she blushed faintly.

“But I’ll tell you this much.”

Saying so, Agetha brings her face close to Nyau.

What on earth is she going to say?

“I’ve already shared a bed with Kiska. Maybe, he’ll seek me again today.”

“…!?”

For a moment, Nyau couldn’t understand what Agetha was saying. However, once she comprehended it, Nyau instinctively lowered her gaze.

“Kiska is infatuated with me, so unfortunately, there’s no room for you to intervene.”

Saying that, Agetha stands up from the bath, seemingly intending to go somewhere.

It seems like she believes she has said everything she wanted to convey.

“Ugh…”

Nyau can’t help but shed tears. Fortunately, being in a bath, crying doesn’t attract much attention. She felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

Chapter 123 Supreme Swordsman Nidorg

The fifth day since defeating the Demon Lord. Four days remain until my death.

If things proceed similarly to the previous timeline, today I am supposed to have a simulated match with the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg.

Supreme Swordsman Nidorg, ranked as a Master and holding the 10th position in the rankings. When I traveled various places with Sage Nyau, it was said that the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg died during the dragon attack on the royal capital.

Around noon, as I laze around in my room, a servant comes in and says:

“There’s a guest who really wants to meet Hero Agetha-sama, waiting in the meeting room. Could you please come and meet him?”

At first, Agetha seemed reluctant, but considering it might cause trouble for the servants if she declined outright, I managed to persuade her, and we headed to the meeting room together.

“Hey, you’re Hero Agetha, right?”

When we entered the meeting room, there was a giant man standing there. He was clad in armor, muscular, and carrying a greatsword of a length almost equal to his towering stature.

“Who are you…?”

“I’m the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg. You must have heard of me, right?”

Saying so, Supreme Swordsman Nidorg grinned.

“Yeah. So, what do you want with me?”

“I heard there’s a hero around. Couldn’t stand still once I heard that. Came here to challenge you. Let’s fight.”

“Why? I have no reason to fight you.”

“Reason? Is there any reason other than wanting to fight? I want to face strong opponents!”

Quite the belligerent individual. He played a significant role in the ‘Battle of Arianne’ dealing a massive blow to the Demon Lord’s army. I recall hearing that despite his contributions, he sustained injuries, preventing him from going to the Katarov Dungeon for a direct confrontation with the Demon Lord. Instead, he stayed in the royal capital for recovery. From the looks of it, he seems uninjured now, perhaps fully healed.

“So, fight me!”

“No.”

“Why the hell are you refusing!?”

“Because I don’t want to.”

“What the hell are you thinking!? Just fight already!”

“Um, could you please stop?”

Seeing that it might escalate into a fight if left unattended, I forcefully intervened.

“Who the hell are you?”

The Supreme Swordsman Nidorg glared at me.

“He’s Kiska. My important person.”

Before I could respond, Agetha introduced me.

“Is he strong?”

“Kiska is stronger than me. Especially during the night.”

Hey, did she say something weird just now?

“I see, you’re stronger than her. Alright, you, fight me!”

Nidorg’s attention shifted from Agetha to me.

In the previous timeline, I ended up being coerced into fighting him, and it was a miserable experience. This time, I should firmly refuse.

“Sorry, but please spare me from the fight.”

“Why!? Why don’t you want to fight me!?”

“That’s right. I don’t want to fight you because I can clearly see that I would lose to Nidorg-san.”

“You won’t know until you try!”

“No, I know.”

After all, I fought him in the previous timeline.

“Oh, I see. How about this, then? If you win against me, I’ll do anything you say. With this, you should feel like fighting, right?”

He’s quite generous with “anything.” Just how much does he want to fight?

“Well, if I lose, do I have to obey what you say?”

“No, if you lose, there’s no need to do anything. I’m satisfied as long as I get to fight.”

So, there’s nothing to lose, only to gain. In that case, I might as well agree to the fight.

“In that case, can I have 600,000 El if I win?”

“Hmm, a large sum. What do you need it for?”

“Well, I thought I could use it for a present.”

“I see. In that case, you’ll have to defeat me.”

◆

A simulated match between the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg and me was set to take place. The venue was the arena used by soldiers for training.

Somehow, incorrect information spread that the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg and the hero would be fighting, attracting a large audience for our seemingly ordinary battle. I felt sorry for those who came specifically to see that.

“Kiska, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

In the waiting room, Agetha and I were alone.

“Sorry for involving you in this because of me.”

“It’s not a big deal. I’m doing it because I want to.”

“I see. But you don’t have to push yourself. You’re doing this for the ring, right?”

“Don’t worry about that. I just wanted to show off a bit.”

“I see. Well, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Yeah, leave it to me.”

After that, we left the waiting room, and in the middle of the arena stood the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg.

“He’s here.”

Saying that, the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg smiled. In his hand, he held a wooden sword shaped like the form of the great sword used in the simulated match.

In my hand, there was also a wooden knife.

“No rules. The one who makes a sound first loses.”

“Got it.”

With a nod, a soldier acting as a referee gave the starting signal.

Instantly, the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg charged straight towards me.

Fast! His large body was approaching with unexpected speed. It was so fast that if you blinked, you would lose sight of him.

However, I had seen this attack before. If it were the first time, I might not have been able to avoid it. But this was my second time facing the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg.

So, I knew this attack was coming.

And if you know, you can avoid it.

“What!?”

That was the voice of the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg. I evaded his attack with minimal lateral movement.

If I could avoid it, there would be a significant opening.

In front of me was the side of the Supreme Swordsman Nidorg.

“Uoooh!”

I roared. Since the weapon I was using was not a real sword but a wooden one, I had to attack with full force to inflict damage!

Crack! A loud sound echoed. The sound was the wooden knife I was holding shattering.

“Ah…?”

I stand there dumbfounded.

After all, I thrust the wooden sword with all my might into the side of the great swordsman Nidorg.

However, it’s the wooden sword that ended up breaking.

Is Nidorg’s body really that tough?

I’m bewildered by this completely unexpected turn of events.

Without a weapon, I can’t continue the fight.

So, it’s my loss.

“Hahaha!”

Nidorg bursts into laughter, his mouth wide open.

“Could it be that you knew all along and challenged me to a fight?” If that’s the case, it makes sense why he made such a seemingly reckless promise to grant any wish if I won.

After all, Nidorg knew from the beginning. That a wooden sword wouldn’t harm him.

This was a battle where the outcome was decided from the start.

“Well, what do you think?”

Nidorg smirks.

It seems I’ve been played in the palm of his hand.

“All right, it’s my loss!” Suddenly, Nidorg declares.

“Really?”

Once again, I was perplexed by his unexpected statement.

“Th-the winner, Kiska!”

Even the referee declared my victory in confusion.

“Well, that was impressive!”

Supreme Swordsman Nidorg approached with a satisfied expression.
