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

Chapter 40   I don’t like it when people talk to me arrogantly

Parasitic Sword Puppeteer consumes the shadows, and departs for the deep world.

“Hey, what do you want with me?”

In the shape of a person, with body parts haphazardly attached, the enigmatic Parasitic Sword Puppeteer says so and greets me.

“Help me with your power.”

“Sure, I’ll help. Let me be your strength.”

And the Parasitic Sword Puppeteer readily agrees.

Well, I don’t know what it really thinks deep down. Maybe it’s always waiting for a chance to devour me.

After that, I repeat the process many times, like tracing a well-practiced routine.

I obtain the “Crystal of Wisdom” from the hidden room, acquired “swordsmanship,” defeat a few monsters, and raise “swordsmanship” to level two.

I think everything is going smoothly.

“Oh, do you know there’s a hidden room here, my master?”

“Well, yeah.”

While exchanging this dialogue that I’ve done many times, I head towards the hidden room with the Golden Living Armor.

Then, I systematically subdue the Golden Living Armor.

As skill points accumulate, I raise ” Parasitic Sword Puppeteer Master ” to level two and unlock the derived skill “Pulsating Greatsword.”

“Oh, it’s amazing, Master! I never expected that you’d defeat everything. I’m truly astonished!”

Seemingly without realizing it, I had defeated all the monsters while swinging the “Pulsating Greatsword” in a trance.

I have no choice but to acknowledge the power of the puppeteer.

“Hey, Master! Use the remaining skill points to level me up to level 3!”

“I refuse.”

I immediately break through.

“Why not? If I reach level 3, I’ll become even more powerful! I can be more useful to you, Master.”

I could continue ignoring him, but that would be troublesome. So, I’ll just say it.

“You seem to think you’re not discovered, but I’ve noticed long ago. Once you reach level 3, you’re planning to devour me, aren’t you?”

As soon as I said this, the puppeteer fell into silence, as if lost in thought.

Anyway, as long as I don’t level up the puppeteer to level 3, it should be useful in battle.

Thinking this, I tried to leave the room while dragging the “Pulsating Greatsword.”

“Ugh, why do you have to figure it all out? Such a pain.”

The puppeteer began using rough language, as if revealing its true nature.

“How about you polish your act a little more?”

“Annoying. I don’t like it when people talk to me arrogantly.”

The puppeteer complained with dissatisfaction.

“Hahaha, never mind,”

“Hey, Master.”

“What is it?”

“How are you feeling right now?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I was just curious. Maybe you’re in a good mood, thinking you’ve outsmarted me.”

“Well, I won’t deny it.”

“Okay then, I’m going to make you despair now.”

“What are you talking about—”

Immediately after, something unusual happened.

The “Pulsating Greatsword” began moving on its own.

It moved my arm, which was holding the sword, without my consent. Before I knew it, the sword’s tip was in a position as if it was about to hit my throat.

I couldn’t resist…

I desperately tried to move my arm and pull the sword away from my neck, but the puppeteer was much stronger, and I couldn’t resist at all.

Come to think of it, this sword’s unique ability was “Autonomy.”

Sweat trickled down my cheek. My breathing was heavy.

If it decided to, the puppeteer could decapitate me at any moment.

Having the power of life and death in someone else’s hands is quite an unsettling feeling.

“So, how do you feel now?”

Asking how I feel, the puppeteer inquired.

“I feel the worst.”

“Haha, I see. Since we’re here, I’ll let you choose. Would you like to die now, or later?”

If I choose to die now, I’d be beheaded right here. If I choose to die later, I’d likely be eaten by the ‘Ruthless Predator.’

“…How about we negotiate?”

Suppressing my rising panic, I suggested.

“Negotiate?”

“Your goal is to become human, right? So, even from your perspective, it wouldn’t be amusing to behead me right here and now.”

“Indeed, you’re right. So, I, too, would prefer you to choose to die later.”

It seems that in order to become human, the puppeteer needed more than just killing me; it had to become the ‘Ruthless Predator’ and consume me.

“Hey, does it have to be me who you eat?”

As I said this, I wondered what a terrifying idea I had come up with and felt aghast at myself.

“Certainly, it may not necessarily have to be you, the Master. However, it’s not like just any human would suffice. Consuming a powerful human would bring me closer to becoming human. Also, I’m the type who’s not very patient, but can you find such a human quickly?”

“Oh, I can. I promise.”

“Good.”

In an instant, it seemed the puppeteer released its grip, and my arms were free.

“Then, please lead me to where that human is as soon as possible.”

“Alright.”

As I replied, two individuals came to mind.

One of them was Agetha, who is sealed.

The other was the vampire Judite.

It seemed that one of them would have to be sacrificed in order to move forward.

Chapter 41    Hey, hurry up!

Since obtaining “Save & Reset,” I’ve felt that the value of my own life has plummeted.

I no longer have any particular feelings about dying.

After all, I can just start over even if I die.

I remember in the beginning, each death was maddening due to the pain and mental anguish, but now, I’m more accustomed to it than I was at that time.

I can’t say I’m completely at ease, though.

Slowly but surely, I’m getting used to dying, and that thought itself terrifies me.

So, how do I feel about killing others?

“Look, there’s a human over there.”

I had brought the puppeteer with me to a certain place.

Before me, Agetha, who had been sealed, was present.

“Well, even if I wanted to eat, I can’t touch her because she’s sealed in a powerful barrier.”

“No, I can easily break the barrier.”

Until now, I’ve been able to easily break barriers with just a touch, and it should be fine this time as well.

“I see. In that case, please go ahead.”

Upon being told so, I headed towards Agetha, who had been sealed.

…Is this really okay?

I had contemplated various things on my way here.

Which of them should I sacrifice, the vampire Judite or Agetha?

Judite is a dangerous entity. I’ve been killed by her multiple times. So, I can’t say I desire the current situation with her running rampant.

However, I do have some good memories with her. So, I can’t help but hesitate.

On the other hand, what about Agetha?

Honestly, I have nothing but bad memories with Agetha.

However, the number of times I’ve been killed by her is much less compared to Judite.

I thought she was safe as long as I didn’t release her seal, but for some reason, when I came into contact with Judite, her spirit separated from her body and appeared before me as a vengeful spirit, trying to kill me.

While I have no intention of coming into contact with Judite anymore, and the likelihood of being attacked in the same way may be low, she still remains a dangerous entity.

Yes, that’s why feeding Agetha to the puppeteer here is to eliminate potential future threats and is absolutely necessary to escape this dungeon.

So, what I’m trying to do is not wrong.

“Why are you standing still since a while ago?”

I realized it after being told that my feet weren’t moving.

“Hah… hah… hah…”

I noticed my breathing was labored. My heart rate was abnormal from a while ago.

“Mmm… Ugh…”

I vomited right there.

I continued to vomit until everything in my stomach was gone.

“Hey, hurry up.”

The puppeteer urged impatiently.

But I couldn’t even stand up.

Why am I feeling so sick like this?

Am I under attack by someone? No, that’s not it. Agetha hasn’t done anything.

It’s just that I feel like I’m being crushed by guilt.

Is the act of killing someone accompanied by such intense mental anguish?

I’m starting to despise myself for thinking that it’s okay to sacrifice Agetha. What kind of person am I?

I’m not denying the act of killing in itself.

After all, I’ve sworn revenge on the villagers, and I hate them enough to want to kill them.

But I can’t hold the same feelings for Agetha.

Sure, she has caused me various troubles.

So, objectively, it might be permissible to kill her.

But… she told me she liked me.

It’s still despicable to kill someone who has said that, just because it’s inconvenient.

“Sorry… I can’t do it. I can’t bring myself to kill her.”

I muttered softly.

I might be considered pathetic, but I just couldn’t get my body to move as I wanted.

So, it’s fine.

Puppeteer, if you don’t like it, just go ahead and kill me.

“Ah, well, there’s no helping it.”

Suddenly, I heard a resigned voice from the puppeteer.

It didn’t sound like a voice that would come from the puppeteer, and I was surprised.

“I’ll give up on eating this child. Is that okay?”

“…You’re not going to eat me?”

“What’s that? You want me to eat you or something?”

“…No, that’s not what I meant.”

While saying that, I stood up.

“But you want to become human, right?”

“That’s true, but!”

“To become human, you have to eat a human, right?”

“But it’s impossible!”

“Oh, I see…”

“In that case, you should find another way!”

I was surprised by the puppeteer’s response.

I couldn’t understand what kind of confusion led to this.
