Neil Chapter 02

     Extra: Neil's Dangerous Affection Part 2

 

Author notes : There will be a development like『Yandere is scary so scary』、so I recommended to people who are not good at scary thing to read this after the story completed。

 

　I delivered the bentou to the Royal Palace as well today、but Neil wasn’t there。Even though I only have a little time left with him。When I asked someone in the Intelligence Department、they said that he was absent and it makes me feels disappointed。Maybe because today is his day off so he goes to see Flora、that kind of thought comes to my mind、and my heart becomes painful。

 

　People from Craigs store seems to welcome me、and I was told that they would like me to move into their house、two or three days after the omiai (formal marriage interview)。Makias-san、he sent me beautiful flowers in pretty shades of white and pink、this was the first time I received such a present in my life、it makes me happy because I felt like I was a princess。

　I’m glad、because it seems like I’m someone who is important to him。

　That’s why、I want to be able to think of Makias-san as someone who is important to me as well。

　I thought so as I inhaling the nice scent、and I decorated my room with that flowers。

 

　But then、it makes me remembered the shirotsumekusa (white clover) wreath that Neil made for me when I was a child。

 

　The morning of the omiai、I comb my dark brown hair until its shiny、and tied it high behind to make me look like an adult。Carefully I applied face powder on the tip of my nose、I hid my freckles as much as I could so that they’re not too visible。Makias-san is 10 years older after all、so I need to be as calm as possible、I need to create an atmosphere so that it’s not strange for me to be next to him。

　I’m wearing a dress、and then ride the carriage that come to pick me up。

　Oba-san next door goes with「Maa、so beautiful。Young people sure are good」to praised me、it makes me felt embarrassed。

 

　While being shaken by the carriage、I remembered when I wore this dress before and went to the festival with Neil、how I become red when he poked my nose with his finger and said「Cute」。

 

　Makias-san、I’m sorry。

 

 

 

 

 

　After the omiai、I went to the Royal Palace to delivered the bentou as usual。

 

「Hello」

 

「Catherine-chan、I heard that you have omiai？」

 

「It was a shock to me、I almost collapsed you know」

 

「Again、you all really good at flattering。As expected you all heard about it already」

 

　As I laughed、I took out the bentou for the Intelligence Department。

　The weather is good today、so I’m happy that I’ll be able to eat outside with Neil。

 

「Makias・Craigs is a pretty good guy、not that he can match me though！」

 

　A pretty ikemen Intelligence member said with a wink。

 

「N seriously。　……A、maybe、you all worried about Makias-san so you looked into him？　Thank you so much」

 

「Because、this is about our precious Catherine-chan、we want you to be happy」

 

「Happy……」

 

「Catherine、let’s go！」

 

　Neil said as he roughly grasped my hand。

 

「Thank you so much！　I will be happy！」

 

　As I being pulled、I shouted as if I want to make myself hear it also。

 

 

 

 

 

「Neil、are you busy with work？　You face color is not very good」

 

「N、it’s alright」

 

　Neil said while sitting next to me and eating his bentou、but he didn’t look at me and he’s not as lively as usual。

 

「Don’t overdo it okay。Here、tamagoyaki」

 

　I want to give him as much nutrition as I can、so I offered him tamagoyaki。

　Neil stared at it、before he opened his mouth and ate the tamagoyaki。

 

「Delicious？」

 

「Un」

 

「It’s good if the meal’s good。Aa、I’m worried。I’m so worried、I can’t just leave Neil and become a bride at this rate」

 

「Then、don’t go」

 

「E？」

 

「……This is tamagoyaki that Catherine made、right、」

 

　It smells like Catherine。

　He suddenly looked so serious and said that to me、I just can only stare at those ice-blue eyes without saying anything。

 

　He who was always smiling while looking at me、with his eyes which should’ve been filled with warm light、are now looking at me with eyes which hiding something deep inside、it’s like he’s a stranger to me and that makes me felt uncomfortable、also I’m feeling something similar to indescribable fear。

 

 

 

 

「When Catherine became a bride、the delivery of the bentou will stop too right」

 

　Tou-san said while preparing for the night。

 

「That’s true、we can’t deliver the hot bentou again」

 

　Yes、the bentou that I delivered、can be made like it still freshly made and hot、because I stopped the time with my magic。

　Although it’s limited to a very narrow range、but I’ve the power to control the flow of time。

 

「We can’t reduce the quality of the service after all。I’m wondering if I can come and help even only in the daytime」

 

「Uーn、but isn’t it difficult because you’ll help their store？　Because they seem to be prosperous and so busy」

 

「Dear、don’t be unreasonable。You’re just lonely because Catherine will become a bride aren’t you」

 

「That’s……I feel that it’s still too early……」

 

　Tou-san muttering something。

 

「It’s close、so we can meet anytime。Okay？」

 

「……Right、that’s right」

 

「Seriously、stop this、no need to be so solemn！　That’s right、Tou-san earlier said that we didn’t have enough cheese right。Then、I’ll go and buy it」

 

　Suddenly the tension became down、so I said it cheerfully as I removed my apron。

 

「I’m going」

 

 

 

 

　I’m walking alone on the still bright road。Yes、I was off guard because it’s still bright。Something like someone was following me、I really really didn’t realized it。

 

　My mouth got closed suddenly。　

　A strong herb-like scent invaded my body along with the air as I tried to breath。

　As it is my whole body loses its power。

　Someone’s arms hugged me strongly。

　The last thing that I saw before I fainted、was the glittering silver color。

 

「……I love you」

 

　A sweet low whisper tickled my ears。

 

 

 

 

　What I saw when I regained my consciousness was、a ceiling that I never saw before。

　I was lying on my back in a dark house。With sheets hung around my body。

　I felt a strong sense of discomfort、so I touched my throat。Some hard thing……wrapped around my neck？

 

　As my mind become more clearly、I touched my neck with both hands。

 

「……What、this is……collar？」

 

　On my neck、someone put on a collar that seems to be made of leather and metal。

　When I got up slowly、the spring-loaded bed shook。It’s a comfortable high-class bed that noble usually use。The moonlight is shining through the window。

 

「I、was out to buy cheese……so why？」

 

　How come my clothes got changed into a thin nightwear、and why did I sleeping alone in a bed in a house that I didn’t know？

 

　The front part of this nightwear is full of lace、the fabric is also a luxury item that slides smoothly on the skin。It’s not something that ordinary people like me can wear。

　And what’s more troubling me、is that I didn’t wear any underwear。

　I wonder who changed my clothes。

　For what purpose。

 

　A chain attached to the collar、as I chased the end of it、it fixed on the leg of the bed。It’s not a thick chain、but it’s something that I couldn’t tear apart with only my power。

　Lightly I got out of the bed。

　Sharan、the chain made a sound。

　Because there’s window、I approached it。

　The opening-inward window was unlocked。

　As I opened it、there was an elegance rose patterned metal……fence。

　I’m trapped here。

　And、what I could see from the completely-dark outside、was a lake that reflected the moonlight。

 

「……Where is this？」

 

　But even if I muttered it、there’s no one who answered it。

 

「I……wearing a collar、and trapped like this、……was I kidnapped by someone？」

 

　Why me？

 

　I thought with a confused mind。

 

「Why……why……？」

 

　Wrong、I mustn’t answer that question。

 

「Here is……」

 

　Don’t think about it。

 

「I’ve seen this place before……this place」

 

　Kachari。

　There was a sound of unlocking from outside。

 

　I looked at the door、at the entrance of this room。

　It opened slowly and quietly。

 

「……Looks like you’re awake already」

 

「……Ne……il……」　

 

　I called his name with a quivering voice。

 

「Neil、you came to help me、right？　Where is this？」

 

「……」

 

「Ne、……Neil……」

 

　Even though there’s only a little light、but his silver hair is glowing like a luminescence。

　Beautiful、the werewolf Neil。

　With broad smile like a blooming rose bud、he said to me。

 

「I love you。I love you more than anyone、Catherine」

 

　No doubt。This is the mansion where Flora got confined in the game。

　Tied with a chain、raped、the leg tendon got cut off and couldn’t move、the room where Neil will confined her forever。

 

「That’s why、become only mine」

 

「……No……this must be a lie……this……」

 

Those ice-blue eyes approaching me。
