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

Chapter 152

Alright, honestly, I’m struggling with how to explain this.

Would anyone believe me if I suddenly said that I experienced some things in the present and then got sent back to the past? But, even if I try to cover it up, there’s no other way to explain it…

“In fact, I was sent back to the past during that time. After everything was over, I was able to return to the present.”

As I said this, I held my breath with tension.

I couldn’t believe anyone would take such a ridiculous story seriously.

“Well… you don’t believe me, do you?”

“No, Nyau believes you. Actually, it matches Nyau’s predictions.”

“What?”

“After everything was over, Nyau searched for you extensively. Nyau found the assassin Noct, but couldn’t find any trace of you.”

“Is that so…”

“Yes, there were more things we didn’t understand during that series of battles. When there are many unknowns, Nyau’s nature is to investigate.”

“What did Noct say?”

“He didn’t say much. Rather, it seemed like he didn’t know much. He said that the hero Eligion was not the true hero and that he faithfully followed the true hero’s instructions.”

“What?”

The one who spoke was Nyau’s apprentice, Lyune, who had been silent until now.

Well, it’s not surprising that someone would be shocked to suddenly hear that Prince Eligion is a fake hero.

“Hehe, sorry about that. Please ignore Lyune and continue talking.”

As Lyune said this awkwardly, Nyau spoke up again.

“Nyau wasn’t sure how much of Noct’s story to believe. So, Nyau searched for you, who seemed to know more, but as I said earlier, we couldn’t find you. We investigated thoroughly. It took decades. We went to every town, even abroad.”

“I see…”

“Why did you betray us back then?”

Nyau’s gaze was so sharp it felt like it could pierce through me. She clearly viewed me as an enemy.

“I had to take the Holy Sword Hagentia from Prince Eligion. That holy sword contained the real—”

My words got stuck.

After all, the memory is missing from within me. I know that Prince Eligion is a fake hero and that there is a real hero. I should have met the real hero, but I can’t remember what kind of being they were.

“What’s wrong?”

Nyau asked as I struggled to find my words.

“Sorry. Um, to release the true hero from the seal, I absolutely had to take the Holy Sword.”

“I don’t understand. Let’s assume for a moment that Kiska’s story is true. Even so, there’s still a question. At that time, the Demon King had already been defeated. Why was there such a rush to revive the true hero in that situation?”

“Because the enemy we were fighting then wasn’t the Demon King. There was an even more troublesome being.”

Yes, back then, we were confronting the leader of the chaos faction, the Tyrant King.

“I see. So, what kind of person is this true hero?”

“I don’t know myself, but I can’t seem to remember anything about them.”

What a suspicious answer that was, coming from me.

“I see.”

However, Nyau just nodded without probing deeper.

“I don’t expect Kiska to tell us everything…”

I really can’t remember, but I kept silent, thinking it wouldn’t help to deny it now.

“Look, the reason I came here today was to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

Yes, I didn’t come here to reminisce about old times.

“I came to tell you about the future. If things continue as they are, the Second Prince Dilekka and his escort will be completely wiped out at the relay point in Riot Village. Because of that, Nyau will also die.”

When I suddenly said this, Nyau and Lyune were understandably shocked, their mouths agape as they exchanged glances.

“May I ask the cause of the annihilation?”

“The demon Belphegor.” (T/N: Name change — Lazy Demon Master Rank Third has been changed from Beelzebub to Belphegor starting from Chapter 149)

When I said that, Nyau placed a finger on her lips, a gesture indicating she was thinking.

“A demon, you say? Does that mean someone summoned it?”

“Is that so…?”

“Yes, as far as Nyau knows, demons only rampage in the mortal world if someone summons them.”

Indeed, when it comes to demons, the image of them being summoned comes to mind. I hadn’t even thought about it until she mentioned it.

“Hey, I’d like to join the Second Prince’s escort team. Is that possible?”

“Why do you need to join?”

I was taken aback by the question. Of course, it’s to protect Nyau.

“Well, fine. If Nyau says it’s okay to add one more guard, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

With that, Nyau took out a pen and paper and began writing something.

“Give this to the captain of the escort team.”

What she handed me was a document with Nyau’s signature and a statement authorizing my addition to the escort team.

“Thank you. Do you really believe my story?”

“It’s not that I fully believe you. I just can’t afford to ignore your story.”

“I see. Thank you, Nyau.”

As I said that, Nyau looked away.

“I don’t need your thanks.”

After Kiska left the room, the sage Nyau spoke to her apprentice, Lyune.

“Well, from Lyune’s perspective, I think it’s a yes. It’s not just that he’s cool, but that mysterious aura he has is quite captivating.”

“What are you talking about…?”

“Uh, aren’t we talking about whether or not he’s a good match for you, Master?”

“What are you even saying!!”

Nyau, irritated, banged both hands on the table.

“What I want to know is what you think about Kiska’s story. You should be able to understand that without me having to say it!”

“Well, it’s certainly an unbelievable story, but if Kiska-san is lying, he should join a theater troupe right away.”

“Indeed, it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to deceive us.”

“That doesn’t mean we can fully trust him either. Even if Kiska has no intention of deceiving us, there is a possibility that he is being manipulated by a malicious entity.”

“From Lyune’s perspective, I think we should fully cooperate with Kiska-san.”

“And what are your reasons for thinking that?”

“Uh, why is that?”

Lyune tilted her head.

It seemed she hadn’t given it much thought.

“Then, Lyune, you should go with Kiska and cooperate with him.”

“Huh? Why?”

“You’re the one who said we should help him. Plus, you’ll be acting as a monitor. If Kiska does anything suspicious, report it to me immediately.”

“Ugh, that’s a hassle.”

“Why don’t you ever listen to what your master says? You need to show more respect for Nyau!!”

With that, Nyau stomped her feet in frustration.
