That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

Irreversible – 5

Revenge, what I wanted was probably a pretty nasty, soggy feeling.

Even if it wasn’t something I felt by simply repeating regression, my feelings toward YuRia could never be clear.

Why it was twisted, I don’t know why.

YuRia’s heart has been twisted since birth,

In the first place, the world she sees is close to achromatic.

They do not differentiate between the blood of humans and the blood of animals.

If you think you’re right, you just push through whatever is sacrificed.

Even when her mother passed away, there were times when she felt frightened for a moment while looking at Yuria’s expressionless face.

It would be foolish to harbor feelings of resentment toward her.

No matter how much you appeal to a woman who doesn’t consider her actions a sin,

In the end, it would be nothing more than shouting at an empty wall.

The person Yuria Taylor is an obstacle to me.

It was the most difficult and long-time opponent that I would bump into someday.

how to break down

How can I get rid of it, so that it collapses to the point where I can never get up on my own again and stays curled up forever?

The method that came to mind was fairly simple.

Even if the method can’t be dismissed as simple, it was one of the things I once suffered.

As if the name Yuria Taylor was a nightmare for me.

Maybe we could make the name Robert Taylor a nightmare for her.

Tok, tok.

He knocks on the handle of the chair and sinks into contemplation.

As I cleared my thoughts, I felt more at ease.

It was quite a strange feeling for one person’s downfall.

#

All right.

As soon as the horse stopped, I realized that I had arrived at the duke’s residence.

It was already close to midnight, and YuRia could see that her carriage had already been placed, as if she had arrived earlier.

The light that came in there must be hers.

Like last time, we might run into each other at the front door, so I went in with great care, but what greeted me was the empty front door.

“Are you here?”

“Didn’t Sogaju say anything?”

When I asked if he might have said something about my behavior, Reynolds shook his head and replied.

“He just came in, but he didn’t say anything. Did something happen?”

“…No, without it.”

He must have thought that talking about the princess was a self-inflicted attack.

No matter how much it is Taylor’s small family, it would be difficult to dispute anything about me and the imperial family as long as my father condoned my actions.

I shook my head at Ronald, who asked if I wanted to go back to my room.

It was better to run into Yuria when her thoughts about me were complicated.

If you face me in a confusing situation, it will be difficult for you to make a rational decision.

When I said that I had to see Sogaju, Renald, who hesitated for a moment, started walking forward, saying he would understand.

Doesn’t it look like YuRia is in the room?

As we walked along Renald towards the place to eat, we saw YuRia drinking tea alone.

“You seemed quite uncomfortable from earlier, are you okay?”

“Are you fine. There is nothing not to be okay.”

Then, as he headed forward, he stopped for a moment and opened his mouth again.

“The surroundings may become noisy, so take measures not to be noisy.”

“All right.”

Even if I couldn’t create a barrier, I could do at least cover the mouth of an attendant who heard strange words.

Ronald disappears and steps back inside.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, YuRia raised her head. He smiled at me and then quietly opened his mouth.

“They said they were together all day, so it seems like the wind was right?”

“Because it’s not my taste. He was even jealous… oops.”

Clink.

I looked at the teacup that flew next to me and then looked at YuRia.

The face that had been painted with a smile had disappeared, leaving only cold, bleak eyes.

A table unlit with a fire,

Even the dangerously burning candles were extinguished, and darkness covered each other’s eyes.

YuRia, who threw a teacup at me, continued talking nonchalantly.

I glanced at the fallen teacup, probably regretting that it didn’t suit me.

“I never told you to avoid it.”

“You never said yes.”

“You’ve become more confident lately. Do you have any corner to believe in? Robert Taylor.”

“It’s a corner to believe in.”

He shrugs once and smiles slyly.

Right now, it’s about Miragen, but I was thinking of making it in the future.

Besides, wasn’t it something my father condoned about this incident?

The only thing YuRia could do for me was to be this angry.

No matter how many times you throw a teacup, nothing changes.

“Have you not seen it before? The corner I believe in.”

“It doesn’t change much just because the princess takes your side. I don’t know how long you think the support you gained on the condition that you oppose this subjugation will last.”

“Probably about a year, I think.”

“What can I do with one year? Do you think that with just one year, I can destroy Sogaju’s position that I have built up over the years?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

In an instant, YuRia’s forehead wrinkled. If it’s one year, maybe next winter?

By then, perhaps it was time to think about the charges of treason, I should have owned Taylor.

That’s why I’m trying to move this winter.

At least I have to finish everything before next fall.

Perhaps because there was no teacup to hold onto, Yuria’s hands trembled in the air.

I could see eyes glaring at me as if they were going to eat me.

Still, it was me who was unconcerned.

Picking up a piece of teacup that had fallen on the floor, he opened his mouth like that.

“You said it before. There are things that cannot be undone.”

It was a word about trust, but now it had a slightly different meaning.

A broken teacup never comes back.

Because YuRia herself threw it away, even if she put it back on, it would not return to the old teacup.

Wouldn’t her destiny be similar to this teacup?

It hasn’t been thrown yet, but it’s certain that it will be shattered by this time next year.

It was a warning.

For her to be a little alert, to be wary and afraid of me.

Watching my every move, so that she herself gets entangled in my movements.

“I plan to be away for a long time in the winter. Shouldn’t I prepare myself to become the head of the household?”

“…under.”

“North and South. I plan to be with Adele Ygritte in the North and Saint Adrian in the South.”

Yuria’s complexion, which had been laughing as if it were absurd, turned cold for a moment.

As if trying to find out if what I said was a lie, my eyes began to narrow.

“You’d better not say that, even as a joke.”

“I do not know. You’ll soon find out if it’s a joke or not. Aren’t you always watching over me?”

“Surveillance, you’re really good at saying things you haven’t even heard of. Are you paranoid?”

“It’s an illusion.”

He touched the piece of teacup he had picked up in his hand, then threw it towards the place where the curtain was drooping.

The pieces of the teacup that split the air with a short whistle sound eventually collided with something and got stuck.

It’s not the sound of hitting a wall.

Hearing the sound of something digging into something soft, he looked at it and before long, the maid who had been hiding appeared.

“Cow, cow lord…”

The lady-in-waiting wrapped around the fragment embedded in her arm opened her mouth. It was a familiar face.

She was the maid who always brought me tea or snacks when Renald was gone, so you knew that she was watching me in the first place.

So when I was outside, I paid a little attention.

It was because I deliberately went to places where there were a lot of people and acted to avoid tailing if possible.

So you probably didn’t know I went to the Wall Tower.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have doubted my friendship with the saintess.

Looking at the lady-in-waiting who appeared, I started talking again.

“What I did so far without knowing the people next to me was for Lord Soga. Aren’t you ashamed to be caught like this? How can you keep watch over me while ignoring me like that?”

YuRia didn’t even respond.

He just stared at me coldly and listened silently to what I was saying.

However, the feelings she harbors must be close to contempt.

I would have been a bit taken aback, as I never thought I would be able to figure this out.

I approached YuRia, who was speechless.

With strides, they are much closer than when they threw the teacup at me, and now they are so far apart that they can completely reveal each other’s faces.

He lit a candle with skillful hands and opened his mouth, placing the broken teacup fragments in front of her.

Smiling softly, like a whisper.

“…Are you afraid of me?”

“Robert Taylor!”

Yuria jumped up and grabbed my collar, but that was all.

Without applying any strength, he tapped his trembling wrist, and soon the strength was released and he fell.

He removed her hand and continued talking while adjusting her clothes.

“If it weren’t for that, you would have said no, and you wouldn’t have had to come out so harshly.”

“…I’ve never been afraid of you. I always thought of you as pitiful, I just despised you for relying on your mother and not being able to do anything on your own.”

Perhaps feeling full of energy, Yuria gave me a small smile and glared at me harshly.

“Are you going to become the head of household? Do whatever you want, whether you go to the north and get the support of the Grand Duke. It won’t change anything if you go to the south and get the saintess’ support.”

“Is that so?”

“I’m Yuria Taylor. I’m Taylor’s head of household, and I’m the one who wanted to become the head of the house first since you couldn’t speak properly. You, you won’t be able to do anything. Robert.”

Seeing YuRia looking at me made me feel strange.

I couldn’t feel any emotion when I saw Yuria Taylor anymore, and I just felt empty, like when I see other people.

Yes, just like when you see Theresia.

I was afraid in the past.

At the beginning of this episode, I tried to be insensitive to Yuria, and after that, I harbored hatred for a while.

But now it was nothing.

I was convinced that the woman who let go of Izzy because she couldn’t stand the immediate rage and confusion was no longer my adversary.

“If it’s true, we’ll know after the winter is over. I don’t know if I have the right to be the head of the household.”

“You can’t be… Robert.”

“No, I will.”

Adele’s support, the church’s support.

And with the support of the imperial family, I make Taylor mine.

In the process, I planned to create my own forces and prepare for the future, but also to regain my own status to a certain level.

When winter passes, the bitter cold melts away and spring comes, leaving only warmth.

Will I still be calling Yuria Sogaju?

She smirked at YuRia, who opened her mouth, and bowed her head respectfully, slightly widening her distance.

YuRia stared at me at a greeting that was not normally done, but kept the manners evenly.

“Before, you asked me if I was confident.”

It was probably something he said before going to the imperial palace. Did you mean to provoke her?

I looked up to see if he still remembered it, and YuRia pulled out her dagger and cut her palm.

Pressing down on the dripping hand, she glared at me and pursed her lips again.

“…I will definitely become the family head. And I will make you responsible for what you said.”

Responsibility, I know what that word means.

How many times have you died from being entangled in that responsibility?

However, I wasn’t afraid. It has been a long time since I made up my mind to decide where to die in this life.

I didn’t live roughly enough to be killed by Yuria.

That’s why there was no need to be afraid.

“Is that so.”

However, her wish could not be continued.

Because I decided to become the head of the household, Yuria, who only lived once, could not beat Robert, who lived 100 times.

It’s a decided story.

In this play called destiny, where the screenplay, script, and even the ending were decided.

There will be only one destiny for her.

tragedy. I mumbled softly as I recalled the word.

As if there was nothing more to say, my expression was just calm.

“Let’s try it. The next time you see it, the answer will probably come out.”

As I turned my back and went out to the dining room, I heard a loud sound of something breaking behind me.

For a while, the sound that seemed to break everything inside it soon stopped.

Instead, only the roar of a woman screaming in agony remained.
