Chapter 99 – Memories Aren’t Photos, They’re Captured in the Heart.

Solving the last puzzle revealed a password that could open a locked door. We hurriedly entered the number into the lock and succeeded in escaping.

“Ah, I’m finally leaving. Finally get out oh!”

When I opened the door as a representative, the female employee who guided us at the cafe earlier was waiting.

“Congratulations! Then, you can follow me this way!”

With a commercial smile, she pointed to the end of her aisle. As she walked to the place where her fingertips pointed, the space she had seen when she first entered the cafe came out.

The Demon King succeeded in escaping the room and called me with a happy expression.

“Hey, you haven’t forgotten who it is thanks to who made it this far, right?”

“Of course.”

As I spoke, I looked at the person responsible for successfully escaping the room.

“If it wasn’t for you, Sehee, I would have just wasted my time. Thank you.”

“Me?”

But she shook her astonished face from side to side in her face.

“What am I? It only interfered with the two of you solving it.”

“No.”

Perhaps it was the same thought as mine, the demon king shook her head while waving her silver hair.

“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to solve it by the time limit and would have just left. I enjoyed it thanks to you.”

“Oh, no.”

“No, is that right?”

Took

Saying that, he lightly slapped Sehee’s slender forearm.

“And I liked your facial expression solving the puzzle more than solving the puzzle.”

“!”

“What?”

Suddenly, both of them opened their eyes and looked at me.

“…”

Se-hee lowered her face, but

“You,”

The demon king frowned and glared at me.

“What if I seduce Se-hee with the words I told Jim?”

“No, what am I?”

“You sure you didn’t forget about that?”

The demon king approaches with a grim face, and Se-hee does not lower her head. I hoped that she would defend me, with only red ears visible through her black hair.

“Why are you looking at Sehee? Jim is talking about you!”

“Oh no,”

“A guest over there?”

It was the female employee of the escape room cafe who helped me in this dangerous atmosphere.

“We will take pictures of those who manage to escape. If you wish,”

“Something.”

“It’s nothing. Goodbye.”

“What if I scare the staff?!”

I hurriedly intervened between the demon lord and the staff and said to the pale-faced staff.

“Excuse me, can you take a picture? A picture.”

“Ah, yes, yes! Wait a minute.”

She hurriedly walked to the counter, as if she wanted to get away even a little. I tried to appease the demon king while the staff came with the camera.

“No, why are you so angry?”

“When did Jim get angry?”

Now. Staring at me, now.

Of course I didn’t say this. Because that’s obviously right. So I thought of the words I praised Se-hee earlier.

“Is it because what I praised Sehee is the same as what I did in the valley? Is that why you’re angry?”

“I know you well.”

When did you say you weren’t angry?

“Why did you say that? Are you trying to seduce me?”

“No! I just said whatever came to my mind!”

“You said it quite naturally for something like that, right?”

“It can’t be.”

I held the demon king’s hand and lifted it up and said.

“I have you.”

“Heh”

She snorted at her as if she had let go of her anger. The demon king shook his head with the corner of his mouth raised.

“I can’t do this. Even if I am angry because of you, I am relieved because of you. Stop taking pictures.”

The Demon King held my hand and walked to a bench in the corner of the cafe. As we made our way under the plastic vines surrounding the bench, Sae-hee, who had regained her composure, approached.

“Ah, I was a little nervous.”

“Hey you.”

“Still, I like my sister more than my brother. You know?”

“Hmm, I know that.”

For a moment, I thought Se-hee was provoking the demon king, but thanks to the added words, I was able to get over it.

As we made our way to the bench, an employee arrived with a Polaroid camera. She said, pointing to the bench and beyond.

“Would you mind sitting on the bench or standing behind it?”

“Um, okay.”

“Sister.”

“How are you?”

Suddenly, Se-hee took the demon king’s hand and led him to sit on a bench.

“My sister takes a picture with me.”

“Hmm?”

“I told you. I like my sister better than my brother.”

Haha! Is Jim really that good?”

At first, the demon king was embarrassed, but soon sat down with Sehee with a big smile. Because of that, the Demon King let go of my hand.

I stared blankly at the two while holding onto the air.

“So what about me?”

“Your brother can stand behind here.”

“Where, behind the bench?”

“Then where will it be?”

I guess I’m still not angry.

While thinking so for the time being, I took a seat behind the bench as the girls ordered.

“Yes, hold on a second. Would you like to stay there?”

“You.”

At the words of the employee, the demon king slightly turned his head and looked at me sideways. At the same time, he glanced at his shoulder, which subtly revealed the line.

“Put your hand on it.”

“Hey, here?”

“Didn’t you say so?”

Once, I put my hand on his shoulder. Then, the demon king raised the hand that was not holding Sehee and placed it on the back of my hand.

“Uh?”

“Now, I am ready! I’ll take it!”

“Wait a minute.”

This time Sehee looked at me again. The demon king glared at me, telling me not to do it, but when he saw me putting my hand on the back of the bench, he let go of his expression.

I thought I was doing the right thing here. However, Sehee gently pressed my hand on the backrest with her back.

The soft skin was passed through the thin summer fabric, and I felt a string running vertically in the middle of the skin.

I hope this

“Yeah, that’s it. Please take a picture.”

“Uh, wait.”

“Can I take a picture now? One two,”

I said wait!

“Three!”

But as the time approached, I forced myself to smile and looked into the camera lens.

Click!

A shutter sound was heard, and Se-hee took off her back again for the perfect crime. Then the demon king turned his head and asked.

“Something? Are there any problems?”

“No, that, b, b b,”

“Brown?”

As she tried to put my guess into her mouth, she frowned again. I was frightened after seeing this and ended up telling a white lie.

“B, where is the capital of Brazil? Suddenly I can’t remember.”

“What kind of bullshit is that?”

As expected, the demon king did not believe it. But here Sehee helped.

“The capital of Brazil is Brasilia.”

“Ah, that’s right! It was Brazilian!”

“It’s not Jillian, it’s Jillia, ‘ah;.”

“It was Jillia! Uh!”

Just then, an employee shaking the picture from the camera told us.

“Photo done! Would you like to take a look?”

“Ah yes! I’ll see! Then let’s go see it, Sohee!”

“Hmm?”

I forcibly raised the demon king and went to look at the photos. She was the one who looked at me suspiciously as she panicked, but she soon changed her mind when she saw the picture of her.

“Oh! You look at this stupid thing!”

“I?”

“Iknow, right. Oppa, you came out really stupid.”

“Hey!”

“Eolppang, poop!”

At the words of the sisters, the staff member who handed the photo to them and looked at them from behind muttered a little.

No, to me it just came out as well as usual!

In the photo the staff took, me, Mawang, and Sehee were well taken without closing our eyes. The demon king had a confident smile as usual, I put my hand on her shoulder, and Sehee had a haughty but mischievous smile vaguely on her face.

When the three of us were looking at the photos, the staff said from behind.

“Pictures on the wall over there if you want”

The wall she pointed to was hung with pictures of people who had successfully escaped from the room.

“You can see it the next time you come on foot.”

“Is it?”

The demon king raised his head and said.

“Can I take it?”

“You can do that, but I’m only taking one picture, so it’s over.”

“Hmm.”

“I can take more pictures if you pay more.”

“All right.”

She shook her head and waved her picture.

“Memories aren’t originally photos, they’re something you keep in your heart. Are you guys all right?”

“It’s fine.”

“Yes, I am fine too.”

As we all agreed, the clerk still had a commercial smile.

“All right. Then could you please let me hang on now?”

“Wait a minute. I’m going to take a picture with my phone right now,”

Suddenly, the demon king took out her cell phone and started taking pictures of her with the camera app. When I saw that, I was taken aback and asked.

“No, you say that memories are left in the heart?”

“I was just saying it to pretend it was there. Wouldn’t it be sad if you didn’t really leave anything behind? Isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it’s rough.”

Maybe it’s because I don’t have a heart to put it in?

“I’ll send it to you later, so you don’t have to film it.”

“Yes, sister.”

The demon lord, who had been making shutter sounds in succession, handed out the photo to the clerk to see if he was satisfied.

“Okay, take it.”

“Yes, hold on.”

After receiving her picture, she passed us and headed towards the place where many people’s pictures were hanging. Including ours there, we looked back on this side.

“Now, whenever you come here, you can find this picture. Thank you for enjoying our escape room cafe.”

The clerk lowered his head and pointed to the refrigerator here.

“Now you can go out and take out a drink one by one.”

“Okay.”

At those words, the demon king headed for the refrigerator without hesitation. As we tried to follow her, she stopped.

“You guys stay there! Jim will bring it!”

After she stopped, Se-hee looked up at me with a mischievous smile like her older sister.

“Brother, were you nervous earlier?”

“Of course! Why are you laying on your back!”

“I was wondering if my brother would be mistaken.”

“What are you talking about again?”

“Okay, I said I like my older sister more than my older brother.”

“What is that?”

“What if you think I don’t like you and you’re disappointed?”

“No,”

“Sister, are you still far away?”

When I tried to say something, Se-hee approached the demon king pretending not to listen. Then he shook me with his last words.

“I still like you, right? So you can’t eat it.”

“But I woke up easier than I thought.”

“Say that. They say that there are times when you can’t wake up the first time.”

“Because we had Sehee. Unlike those people.”

“Huh, is that so? It’s a bit unfortunate anyway.”

“What are you sorry about?”

“If my sister and brother couldn’t think of anything, so they wrote all the hints and asked me, I tried to set conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“Well. Roughly, it’s like holding your breath underwater.”

“!”

“Hmm? Do you know what this is about?”

“No! I don’t know anything!”
