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

Chapter 56 Who was there

“Alright, I’m going to open the door. Are you ready?”

“Yes!”

Seeming a bit nervous, Agetha response was barely audible.

I made a final check in my mind.

I had raised both my skills, “Swordsmanship” and “Provocation,” to level 3.

Since “Vow” was a skill without levels, it remained unchanged.

My equipment was a one-handed sword from the Golden Living Armor. It was very easy to use.

I had also conveyed a winning strategy to Agetha.

Alright, I haven’t redone anything.

“Let’s go, Agetha.”

Saying so, I opened the door.

“Kugoooooo!”

I heard the cry of the monster.

It was the Great Centipede Rumoahz, an S-rank monster, a giant centipede with potent venom.

It’s alright, I’ve defeated this monster once before. So, I should be able to defeat it again.

“Agetha, be careful of the poison that monster releases.”

“Yeah, got it.”

After her response, Agetha leaped away from me, just as we had planned.

“Hey, you monster! Let’s dance together!”

“Kshaaaaaa!”

Rumoahz, the giant centipede under the influence of “Provocation,” charged at me, and I deflected its attack with my sword.

“I see, you’re tough, huh?”

The scales of Rumoahz were as hard as steel. Thanks to that, my attempts to cut through them with my sword were futile as they were just repelled. However, I couldn’t afford to be intimidated.

“I’m not impressed with this level of challenge!”

I used “Provocation” again and deflected Rumoahz’s next charge with my sword. The clash produced repeated metallic sounds.

Then, suddenly, Rumoahz shot something at me.

“Ah!”

What Rumoahz had shot was poison, and I tried to intercept it with my sword, making sure it didn’t touch my body. However, the sword that came into contact with the poison didn’t fare well. Just like when the sword touched Magna, it quickly melted away with a sizzling sound.

This was bad; I had lost my weapon.

“Kiska!”

Agetha was shouting, her eyes expressing deep concern for me. Every inch of her body seemed to be filled with the desire to rush out and help me immediately.

“Agetha, don’t come to me!”

So, I said that to stop Agetha.

“But!”

“Trust me! That’s why you need to do what you have to do!”

Saying so, Agetha bit her lower lip and nodded.

To defeat Rumoahz, the giant centipede, it was not the right time for Agetha to join me. I understood her feelings, but for now, she needed to hold back.

“Hey, if you want to kill me, take a good look and aim carefully.”

I used “Provocation” once again to divert Rumoahz’s attention. It hurt to have lost my weapon, but all I needed to do now was avoid its attacks.

“Kshaaaaa!”

After that, I continued to dodge Rumoahz’s attacks relentlessly. Dodging and dodging again, and then, during one of the attacks I managed to dodge,

“Kiska, sorry for the wait.”

Agetha’s voice echoed.

“Agetha, go for it!”

I encouraged her with all my might.

I had taught her a technique she had shown me before, even though she had lost her memory. This technique took some time to activate. So, I drew the monster’s attention by dodging its attacks relentlessly while she prepared to launch her attack.

The name of that technique was…

“Holy Sword Technique: Dragon Slayer!”

It was a finishing move that could bury any enemy in a single strike. With a burst of brilliance, she moved in a straight line, slashing as she went. The moment her great sword touched Rumoahz’s tough scales, they were effortlessly sliced through.

“Kugoo!”

Rumoahz let out its final groan, lost its strength, and fell.

At the same time, Agetha exhaled with a “phew” and relaxed. There was nothing left in her path.

Confirmed the defeat of the monster.

You have earned skill points.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

I felt a sense of accomplishment as the message window appeared, confirming its defeat.

“Agetha, you did it!”

With joy, I turned toward her.

“Fue.”

For some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Crying at a time when you should be happy isn’t normal.”

I was puzzled, not understanding why she was crying.

“Well, when I suddenly felt relieved, the tears just started flowing. It’s because I’m so happy that I could be of help to you… So, these are tears of happiness, but is it weird?”

“No, it’s not weird at all.”

Knowing that it wasn’t because of something sad, I felt relieved.

“Hehe, um, can I ask you for that usual thing?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Saying that, I gently stroked her head.

“You did great, Agetha.”

“Yeah! I did my best!”

Saying that, she smiled.

I thought it was a beautiful smile.

I wanted to protect this smile of hers. It seemed that I had become quite attached to her by conquering the dungeon together. I thought of myself as a simple person objectively.

“Oh, Kiska, there’s a sword!”

Suddenly, just as she said, a single sword was thrust into the ground. It was a sword with a red blade, the ” Blazing Sword.”

I remembered obtaining the same one as a reward for clearing the Katarov Dungeon when we defeated the boss together with Puppeteer.

“Are you sure you want me to use this sword?”

I asked Agetha as she tried to hand the sword to me.

“Yeah, I have this greatsword, and it’s probably better if you use this one, Kiska.”

“In that case, I’ll gratefully accept it.”

“Oh, what’s that light over there?”

Agetha pointed, and there was a shining teleportation circle on the floor. It must have appeared after defeating the boss.

“It’s a teleportation circle. If you touch it, you can ‘exit’ the dungeon.”

“Really! Let’s go, Kiska!”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Agetha seemed to be more excited than usual. Well, she had just defeated a tough boss, so it was only natural for her to be in high spirits.

While thinking about that, as I was about to follow Agetha, I heard a swooshing sound.

I also heard the sound of splattering blood.

“――Huh?”

Agetha said that as she looked at her own arm. Her right arm was missing from the middle.

“Ahahhhhhhhhh!”

A split second later, Agetha screamed in intense pain.

“Hey, Agetha!?”

What just happened? I had no idea. All I knew was that something had caused Agetha’s right arm to be severed.

I had to help Agetha, that was the only thing on my mind as I reached out my hand to her.

Thud! I felt a shock running through my body.

“Ouch!”

I groaned as I rolled on the ground. I realized that someone had kicked me. There was a third party present in this situation, someone other than Agetha and me, and that person was attacking us.

“Who are you…!?”

I shouted as I turned to confirm the identity of the third party. And there, standing before me was…

◆◆◆

Chapter 57 Reset

This elusive figure had a knack for appearing suddenly and swiftly vanquishing anyone in its path. It seemed like an embodiment of intense hatred and envy, perpetually provoked by something. It was, indeed, the one responsible for beheading the vampire Judite.

Judite was a vampire, so just cutting off the head wouldn’t kill her. It took careful pounding to crush her brain.

Crushing the brain into a pulp, it finally realized that it had killed the vampire.

Afterward, it searched for the next target and slowly roamed the dungeon. And then, it found its next target.

◆

“That’s not fair,”

It had a slimy, clingy tone.

It was glaring at us with sharp eyes.

“Why is it always you who gets the good end of the deal? Why am I always stuck with the bad role?”

It cried out in that way.

“…Agetha?”

In the midst of this, I was simply confused.

Yes, the one who had severed Agetha’s arm and kicked me away was Agetha herself.

“Ah… Ahhh!”

Agetha, who had her arm cut off, was still writhing in intense pain.

There were two Agetha in front of me.

Huh…? What’s going on?

I didn’t understand.

“Who are you?”

I asked, but I wasn’t even sure which Agetha I was asking. Perhaps I was asking both of them.

“I am Agetha Tsubaki,”

The one who answered was the Agetha who had kicked me.

“Why are there two of the same person?”

As I asked this question, Agetha gave a self-deprecating smile and pointed to the Agetha with her arm severed.

“This one is my impostor. It pretends to be me and tries to steal everything from me.”

“Ha…”

Since I didn’t quite understand, I let out a sigh-like breath.

From the perspective of Black Agetha (to avoid confusion, I decided to call the Agetha who had suddenly appeared Black Agetha), Black Agetha was the real one, and Agetha (the one with lost memories) was the fake.

I considered hearing Agetha’s side of the story and looked at her.

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand! Why am I in two places at once?”

Agetha was holding her head in confusion.

Right, Agetha had lost her memory. Even if she was called a fake, she couldn’t argue back. She was the most confused person here.

“Fine, let’s erase all the inconvenient memories and start over. Ah, it’s truly like a field of flowers in your mind, I’m getting fed up with you.”

“I don’t know even if you say that!”

“You not knowing is probably your own fault. Ugh, I’m getting exasperated!”

“That’s why I don’t know!”

Black Agetha and Agetha were exchanging words.

“Kiska… Please, help me…”

“Ah.”

Agetha pleaded for help, clinging to me.

I wanted to live up to her expectations, but even if she asked for help, I had no idea what I could do to help her.

“Agetha…?”

I suddenly noticed that she was trembling beside me.

Well, of course she would be. I’m sure I would be very scared if I were in her shoes.

So, with the thought that I could alleviate her anxiety even just a little, I gently pulled her close.

“That’s not fair.”

Black Agetha muttered bitterly.

“It’s not fair. You’re always sucking up and being coddled, while you push the unpleasant roles onto me. Always, always, always, using me like that. Ah, I’ve had enough. I can’t take it anymore. I’ve put up with it for so long, but I’m done. I would have been better off on that side too. Because I also like ×××…”

I couldn’t make out a part of what she said.

But more importantly, my attention shifted to something else.

She was crying.

Black Agetha was shedding big tears and expressing something.

“I didn’t mean that…”

Agetha tried to deny something.

Ah, I had to help.

Honestly, I didn’t quite understand what had happened between the two of them. What was right and what was wrong. What was just and what was unjust. I had no clue.

But when I saw a girl crying right in front of me, I knew I wanted to help.

Among the emotions that had sprouted within me, that was the one thing I was sure of.

So, unconsciously, I reached out my hand.

“I can’t take it anymore…”

Black Agetha muttered, tears falling.

“If it’s going to be like this, maybe it’s better to just disappear, in a world like this, right?”

This was bad. Black Agetha was about to do something.

I didn’t know what it was, but my instincts were screaming that it was really, really bad.

“Stop it! Agetha!”

When I shouted, it was already too late.

With a murmur, she spoke these words:

“<Reset>.”
