Few survivors in the manor can start the last game.

Although the information was deliberately concealed from the survivors, the supervisors all got the news and showed considerable curiosity about it.

Those who can make it to the end, whether they achieve a winning streak or accumulate enough points, must be very powerful survivors, right?Such a prey, thinking about it, is much more worth looking forward to than those useless seconds!

The supervisors are eager to try, but the supervisor who is in charge of this game is quickly determined.

After receiving the list of survivors who applied for the last game, looking at the familiar names on it, Joseph didn't say anything, and even politely rejected the curiosity of other regulators.

Unlike the other Overseers, Jack knew why.

Killer of the Fog leisurely leaned against the window sill, looking at his colleague's calm look, if he hadn't seen the crumpled paper on which the list of survivors was written, he would probably have thought that he didn't care at all.

So he deliberately waited until everyone else had left before the Ripper pretended to be careless and said:

"If you can't catch it again, she will slip away~"

The golden eyes under his mask watched his colleague's expression with interest, but unexpectedly, Joseph's footsteps paused slightly, and he said something that he couldn't react at all:

"I'm not going to enforce my marriage contract with Beth Fernley."

He smiled and neatly folded the list in his hand: "...just a little love affair between lovers, isn't it?"

"...what are you referring to?" Jack looked at him in bewilderment.

"The whole game."

Young girls are always a little naughty.

Whether it is the previous role-playing or the final game this time, Joseph defines it as a small game, and the ending he believes will not change.

Joseph is seldom interested in anything, whether it is people or things, but at the same time, once he is interested, he must hold it in his hand.

Whether it is painting or photography, others think that he is obsessed with art, but in fact he just wants to grasp what he wants to grasp.

Whether it's an item, a thing, or a period of time, a person... He is like a wayward child who grabs the rainbow and wants to put it in his jar, but finally finds that he can only ingest a period of water vapor.

So Joseph changed his method. What the child wants is the beautiful colors of the rainbow. As long as the soul or time is taken away, everything will become a picture that can be preserved.

But a girl cannot be turned into a photo, and the power of time that brought her time travel troubles brought her to a certain extent, not all bad things...

Joseph stood in the church and looked at the huge cross on the wall, thinking.

He didn't like the feeling of being out of control.Greed is like a behemoth that can't get enough to eat, but getting a soul has become the most superficial desire, and he has never been satisfied.

The more eager he was, the more patient Joseph became, hiding all his ambition and predatory desires under the gentle surface, watching her hesitate and finally step into his trap little by little.

Maybe he should have caught her earlier... No, be patient, he thought casually.

Just be patient.

There were soft footsteps behind him.

The girl walked in slowly, as if throwing herself into a trap.

But Joseph knew that when she walked in, everything must have been arranged... At least, the air force with the flare gun could do a lot of things.

While staying together, Joseph saw the Air Force pass by the church at least three times... no, actually, far more than that.She looked anxious, and ran around the church many times, and even ran in front of them a few times, but it was a pity... different times interrupted everything.

Lilith is very good at grasping people's hearts.

Obviously there are so many survivors in the manor, and there are many girls who have a good relationship with the air force full of justice, but she is the one who finally participated in the last game with the air force.

As long as she needed it, Joseph fully believed that the Air Force would not hesitate to use up the only bullet for her.

No... It should be said that the flare gun in this game is specially reserved for her.

A naughty and cunning girl, she arranged a careful chess game, pushed the chess pieces one by one, and created the situation she wanted.

The mercenaries and the air force will protect her unconditionally.

Magicians are remedial measures used to contain the former two. Once things develop in a bad direction, magicians who pay attention to the overall situation will persuade others to prevent the situation from collapsing.

But there is one thing that Lilith was wrong from the beginning——

He is not a chess piece on the chessboard, but a chess player as well.

"your name?"

"...Beth Fenley Yeager."

He obviously didn't seem very courageous, but he boldly included him in his plan.

It's ok.

It was just a small game, just like the bottle of perfume, Joseph never minded some little fun with his lover.

Before meeting a girl, he had never tried love, nor did he intend to try, but if the object is her, it is not worth looking forward to.

"You said you met Beth Fernley."

Joseph smiled, and found an ordinary photo from the previously saved album.

The girl was a little brooding at first, but she was speechless when she saw the little girl who was only two or three years old in the black and white photo.

She looked at him blankly with those big purple eyes:

"hair……?"

Joseph stroked the black hair behind her ears for her, and explained casually:

"Many years ago, the Yeager family was eager to get married early, so Viscount Yeager sent a photo after giving birth to his daughter." Obviously, this was to remind the De La Thornes family not to break their promises, but the big family In your marriage, the interests are always the most important.

After the fall of the Yegel family, the De La Thornes family had already had a lot of voices questioning the marriage contract, but Joseph, the protagonist of another marriage contract, devoted himself to art, and was neither interested in inheriting the family nor moved by love. , even though he was really handsome, he was too cold and he was not an heir, so even the noble ladies who were attracted by his appearance couldn't bear the coldness and retreated in the end.

Joseph had no interest in casting eyes on someone who wasn't interested, and the marriage contract with the Yegel family was a suitable shield.

Because he was too indifferent, and the family didn't want to bear the reputation of being greedy for power and treachery, this marriage contract was reluctantly kept for various reasons.

Joseph glanced at the photo. If he hadn't found it by accident, he would never have remembered those things before: "The object of the marriage contract is me. Out of curiosity, my brother secretly asked the businessman to inquire about the situation of my nominal fiancee. ——The businessman told me what Beth Fernley looks like."

But this matter was carried out in private, and not many people knew about it, and they were not very interested in remembering such a trivial matter, and Joseph was not very interested in it, so he quickly left it behind.

After listening to the cause and effect, the girl hugged a book and remained silent.

Joseph recognized that it seemed to be a book in his study, and raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing..." Lilith's tone contained a trace of powerless annoyance, as if she was angry: "It's just a story about a hunter who was designed by a ferret to catch it."

"Oh? Sounds like a fairy tale."

"...Yes, it's just a story."

Joseph raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

He lowered his head and kissed her lightly, with a faintly lingering smile in his low laugh:

"My love, the way you lied to me is quite cute."

The author has something to say: You ask me why I love you, and I just love you for being deceitful.
