Chapter 85 – Did Mr. Stay Really Leave Us?

“I haven’t received any apology for what happened in the past… That’s why I don’t like it. “If I had to choose between meeting you or not meeting you, I would choose the latter.”

“······.”

“······.”

“······.”

After the explanation of the situation containing only the facts of Nice’s forced confession, there was only cold silence in the hospital room.

In the heavy and terrible silence where each second felt like an hour to Nice, who just wanted it to go on like this, the first to speak up was May Ruina, who asked a question.

“······Is that all?”

“Yes, yes?”

“I asked Mr. Stay if that was all he said.”

Saint. Saver. The light of humanity.

All of her reverential words that described her were in vain, and the sound of her voice coming out of Mei Ruina’s mouth was so cold.

Just meeting her felt like her heart was frozen, and Nice felt the threat of her death just from the atmosphere that Mei Ruina gave off, and her body trembled.

“Well, I mean, that’s…”

Normally, her lips and tongue would have been stiff, and she would not have been able to get any words out of her mouth, but since Nice was under the spell of forced confession, she opened her mouth with difficulty and forced herself to spit out the words that Stay had said.

“I won’t go to you three anymore. “I told him to tell me his best wishes.”

It was really difficult to complete the sentence while in a state of extreme fear, but since what Stay said was not very long, Nice was able to convey what he said to the three people.

Thanks to the miraculous discovery of the magical loophole in forcing a confession: ‘Once you’re asked, all you have to do is tell the truth’, so no unnecessary words were spoken, and it was only after she finished speaking that Nice could barely calm her trembling heart.

“······The end?”

“Yes, yes? Ah, yes! Okay, that’s the end!”

“Really. Is it the end?”

“······Yes?”

Until May Ruina’s lingering eyes and her voice tightened her own throat.

“Why do you keep asking? Are your ears clogged? I’m asking. Is it really the end? I asked you if that was really what Mr. Stay said. But why do you keep asking questions and making me waste time needlessly? Yes? Do I look easy? “Do you think that because you are called a saint, you appear merciful and harmless?”

“Uh, uhh. Well, that’s not it…”

“Then quickly! Speak quickly! There’s no way Mr. Stay would have left me with just those words!”

Nice felt like he was going out of his mind due to the torrent of fierce and cold emotions rushing in without giving him time to breathe.

Stay Did that guy experience this every time? How did he survive without going crazy?

The concentration of emotions poured out by May Ruina was so high that Stay, whom she had previously regarded as nothing more than an F-class scoundrel, felt respected.

This was really all she had heard from Stay, but Mei Ruina, who was pressuring her, was not willing to accept that this was all.

However, that doesn’t mean he can’t lie and create something that didn’t exist in order to satisfy Mei Ruina. Right now, Nice was under Mir Ryuin’s spell of forcing a confession.

A situation where he couldn’t tell a lie and couldn’t give Mei Ruina the answer she wanted.

At a time when he was literally in a dilemma and was trying to stay deep in his heart and regret the past in which he tried to suck up all the profits, a ray of hope reached Nice’s ears in the form of words.

“······Stop it, May Ruina. “The fact that you didn’t get an answer even after asking like that means that Stay really left behind those words.”

“What do you mean! That can’t be possible!”

“I cast a spell to force a confession. At that woman’s level, she can’t resist my magic at all. So, the reason she can’t answer your question right now is because she said everything she could.”

“Mi, Mir Ryuin…”

Just as he stepped in and stopped Dain Adamas in the middle when he threatened his life by spilling his emotions, it was Mir Ryuin who saved Nice’s life again.

Mir Ryuin was the one who cast the ridiculous magic that easily trampled on people’s human rights, called the magic of forcing confessions, but in Nice’s mind, she had already become her lifesaver.

Nice felt gratitude coming from deep within her soul to Mir Ryuin, who saved her, to the point where she wanted to offer her lifelong loyalty if she could.

“Of course, May Rui and your question are not appropriate.”

“······Yes?”

However, as the conversation continued, Nice felt that something strange was going on in the situation.

“I’ve been feeling strange ever since the moment I heard that Stay had left. Stay until she pays off her debt… To be precise, until she receives payment from May Ruina, she can’t leave us even if she wants to.”

Mir Ryuin’s blue eyes meet Nice’s while saying that.

Faced with the fragments of Mir Ryuin’s emotions that could not be suppressed deep within his pupils, his mind was bleached white by the most terrible abyss of fear he had experienced today.

“Therefore. What you need to ask is this. How could Stay leave us?”

Mir Ryuin asked a question to Nice, who seemed almost out of his mind.

Nice wanted to keep quiet about that question, but the magic of forcing a confession did not allow it.

“······Um, us. In the name of praising Mr. Stay for his amazing service in treating you, the Central Intelligence Agency has paid off all of Mr. Stay’s debts and the balance owed…”

“Ha.”

Bang!

Nice was so lost that the last thing he heard was a short laugh, not knowing what had happened to him.

“How dare you, how dare you make the contract that only I could have made between me and Mr. Stay…! What are they…!”

Mei Ruina, who had passed out with her upper body pinned to the ceiling of her hospital room, grabbed her from Nice and swung her around, grabbing the golden chain that had pinned her to the ceiling. Mei Ruina grabbed her body with her fists tightly clenched. I was shaking

“······Ugh, great. “Did Mr. Stay really leave us?”

A voice so frail that it was hard to imagine that this was the person who had just chained up an otherwise healthy person and pinned it to the ceiling, echoed through the hospital room with nowhere to go.

“Just a few words. Just leave those words alone. “Did you leave it to this woman I’d never heard of before leaving for good?”

Mei Ruina’s voice no longer contained the terrible chill that had made Nice afraid.

The only thing contained in her voice now is the fear of loss.

“Ask me to say hello to you… Are you really saying that this is Stay’s last words to me…?”

Mei Ruina was so afraid of this reality that Stay left her and only her words, so she couldn’t acknowledge the reality and just kept asking.

“······.”

“······.”

But there was no one here who could answer this question.

It was a clear truth that could not even be disputed to deny that it was May Ruina’s words, and if she answered that what she said was right, she would be admitting to herself that Stay had left her.

So all the three people here can do is close their mouths and remain silent.

But even that was just a meaningless bid for time, and as time passed, the fear of loss that Stay had left began to gradually tighten their hearts.

If things continue like this, it’s clear that her heart will be broken by the fact that Stay has left them, leaving her to tell others that she doesn’t like it.

Because I couldn’t accept that much.

“······I can’t forgive.”

Dain Adamas decided to get angry.

“Stay…! I can never forgive you! I absolutely cannot ignore this one! No, I’m not going over it!”

Towards Stay, the cause of this fear.

“You behaved like that for a month. They tortured me without even being able to lift a finger! You unilaterally won the battle on your own and are now leaving that the treatment is over? Seriously, do you think I would tolerate that? No. No. I can never do it. Playing with people’s hearts in that way… No, insulting the sacred game of competition and looking down on people, I can never forgive.”

Bringing out anger is the only way humans can overcome fear on their own.

Anyone could see that it was sophistry and far-fetched, but for the current Dain Adamas, there was no other way than to force his anger like this.

Unless you do something like this, your heart will break down in fear.

“Oh, that’s right! I can’t forgive you! You whispered sweet words like that for a month and acted like we had a special relationship, but when the treatment was over, and you got everything you needed, you shut your mouth and left without saying a word? “This really means you think I’m a fool!”

“Yes, Dyne Adamas and Mei Ruina are right. This is something that can never be overlooked. It’s natural to be angry. How dare you treat me like this, not even anyone else. “I cannot forgive you for leaving without saying a word and blatantly ignoring me as someone who is doing something he shouldn’t have done as a human being…”

And when several people feel the same way toward one person, anger is easily contagious.

The three people, who could not overcome the current situation unless they were angry, contagious and fostered each other’s anger, burning their hot anger towards Stay.

“For this matter, I will never accept it unless you personally come and kneel down and apologize!”

“I’m not satisfied with that kind of apology. I really mean it. “You will have to apologize with all your body, mind, passion, and soul, Mr. Stay!”

“Yeah, me too. I’m not the type to normally waste my emotions on things like this. “If you don’t show sincerity about this incident, I can’t just let it go.”

However, it was so scary to actually go to them first and hear Stay say ‘I hate you’ directly, so the three of them just kept talking about being angry and saying they couldn’t forgive, like a girl in the corner of the room, but couldn’t take action.

They were three people who were so forcefully angry at Stay that they covered up the problem in front of them with temporary measures.
