130. Cayenne’s Third Personality
‘I’ve pretty much done everything I had to do.’
He also gave Ferwin crucial evidence and specific instructions.
[And one more thing. Regarding diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Pyron. Should Your Majesty and I leave it at this point?]
[Why?]
[Before discussions can begin in earnest, we will have to travel back and forth between the two countries for a while. I am worried that His Majesty’s injury may worsen due to the tight schedule.]
[Are you worried about me?]
‘… Is this how it is?’
Anyway, Perwin readily accepted my offer.
I heard that while reviewing documents related to this diplomatic relationship, you discovered a number of problematic points.
At first, he tried to step forward and revise the business plan, but it seems he decided that it would be better to just stop trading altogether.
‘At this point, I guess I won’t have to carry a bomb.’
I felt relieved to be one step away from the landmine.
“Are you here, miss?”
When I returned to the duke’s residence, the servants greeted me.
At that moment, a man came running out, pushing his way through the crowd of servants.
“Welcome, master!”
“Cayenne? Were you home?”
Cayenne, who ran towards me with an excited face, bowed to me.
He was dressed neatly in his servant’s uniform, but the sleeves were ragged, as if he had just come out from doing housework.
‘Then what on earth was that system window?’
When a window popped up saying that a male protagonist event had occurred, I assumed that Cayenne would be in the stadium as well.
He greeted me brightly, as if he had nothing to do with the series of events.
“Of course! I waited eagerly for you, Master.”
“… … ?”
Why is a person who is born with a passive sense of pathos smiling so brightly?
“But Master. I’ve been feeling a bit cold and have no energy. Can you spare me from doing housework today?”
“what?”
“I think my pain would go away if I had a lap pillow from my master.”
Cayenne gave a pitiful look.
His explosive remarks left his employees flustered.
The employees knew that I favored Cayenne, so they tended to tolerate his eccentric behavior.
But Cayenne threw a bomb that was surprisingly large.
The servant who was nearby became lost in thought and hurriedly ran out.
“What the heck are you talking about, young lady! You came home late after slacking off during the day, and now you’re asking me to skip work!”
He pressed Cayenne’s head hard.
“I’m sorry, Miss. If you forgive me just this once, I’ll educate you properly so that something like this doesn’t happen again.”
“No, I’ll scold you later.”
“yes?”
I grabbed Cayenne’s hand and pulled her along.
“You, follow me now.”
* * *
Cayenne, who was dragged to my room, was so excited that she ran around.
“What should we do? This is the first time we’ve held hands. Don’t you think we should make today a national holiday?”
“… … .”
No matter how I look at it, it’s not the Cayenne I know.
Unless your third personality suddenly awakens overnight, there is only one answer.
“You are the manager.”
I caught Cayenne, who was running around like a puppy, and questioned him.
“Ding dong dang dong, that’s right!”
Cayenne, no, the manager smiled brightly.
It felt very strange to see her face, which was always sad or seductive, smiling so brightly without a trace of guilt.
“You’re surprised to see me after such a long time? But I thought you’d recognize me right away since I’m your Bing-uija.”
“Of course I will find out.”
How can you not recognize this tone of voice, this expression, this brightness?
“Have you missed me all this time?”
“her.”
Did you miss me?
Of course I wanted to see you. I had a lot to talk about with the manager in person.
Why did it suddenly disappear and then reappear out of nowhere?
You’re my guardian angel, but why doesn’t you tell me anything about me?
I was shocked and angry, but ironically, when I saw his face, I felt relieved.
“I missed you.”
Actually, I was worried.
If the manager doesn’t come to me, I can’t go see the manager.
I was worried that I might never see him again.
“Oh my, oh my, oh my.”
The manager covered both cheeks and made a fuss.
“Is this the same Bing-ui-ja I knew? Since when did you become such a bulldozer-like heroine?”
“… … .”
“If a person who was originally indifferent suddenly becomes direct, he or she can only steal my heart.”
“What are you talking about, seriously?”
Are you kidding me in this situation?
But I couldn’t help but let out laughter without any speed.
“Where the hell have you been? Where did the real Cayenne go and why did you show up like this?”
“I’ll tell you everything slowly. For now, Cayenne is asleep.”
“Both day personality and night personality?”
“Yeah. I’ll stay asleep for a while.”
“… … ?”
“The reason I appeared in this body in the first place was because Cayenne received a penalty for failing a mission. It’s hard to explain in detail, but I guess you could say I made some kind of deal with Cayenne.”
“transaction?”
“Yes. On the condition that I compensate for the penalty in exchange for manifesting in this body.”
What kind of penalty did you get that even the manager had to step in?
The manager explained as if answering my question.
“Cayenne had no choice because she was penalized with ‘return after death’.”
“what?”
For a moment, my heart sank.
“It looks like Cayenne got a mission exclusive to the male protagonist in this episode.”
“Could it be that I chose Cayenne as my hunting partner?”
So Cayenne was given the male protagonist mission, and he failed and got penalized?
“No. It’s not your fault, but… … .”
The manager chose his words carefully.
“Originally, ordinary characters were only given roles, not missions.”
“Then why on earth―”
At that moment, a memory flashed through my mind.
“… … You mean the mission, it’s only given to those who have been possessed?”
“Usually, that’s true.”
“Then, what about other beings besides the possessed? Can reincarnated beings or regressors also receive missions?”
Because in romance novels, not only possessed people but also reincarnated people and regressors appear.
I just poked him once, but the manager’s expression became meaningful.
Seeing his reaction, my faint suspicion turned into certainty.
“Cayenne is a regressor, right?”
At that moment, a system window appeared.
【SYSTEM: The hidden keyword of the dark curtain ‘Cayenne’ has been discovered.】
[Censorship of the keyword will be removed.]
[#Regressor]
“How did you know?”
“It was so obviously suspicious, I couldn’t help but notice it. At first, I thought Cayenne was possessed and made a mistake… … .”
[Are you □□□?]
When you discover Cayenne’s hidden keyword.
At that time, I suspected that he might be a possessed person like me.
Cayenne noticed the system window, was promoted to the male protagonist role, and even had a hidden route.
‘First of all, the low personality is a being that does not appear in the original work.’
A being that struggles to go against fate, although this was not permitted in the original work.
Isn’t that no different from me trying to avoid the execution ending?
There was just one thing that was crucially different from me.
“It seemed like he didn’t know anything about the original’s existence, so I ruled out the possibility that Cayenne was the possessed one.”
“and?”
“If Cayenne was a reincarnation, she wouldn’t be repeating the same life.”
If you were born again with your current memories, what would be the first thing you would do?
It may be different for everyone, but if I were Cayenne, I would run away right away.
Because we have to prevent them from being used for human experimentation and having their bodies taken away.
Cayenne is a great wizard, so that shouldn’t have been difficult.
‘But in this life, the tragedy repeated itself.’
There must be another reason why he still could not escape his miserable fate.
“For example, if you could only return to a specific point in time rather than reincarnation.”
Just like I always regress to the same point in time when I see a bad ending, wouldn’t Cayenne only regress after all the events that happened?
The manager made a loud noise.
“I think I gave too many hints.”
“You gave me a lot, but you pretended not to know all this time. How long have you known about it? From the beginning?”
“What? I guess so?”
The manager looked at me.
This kid knew everything, but he hid it so well.
Every time I doubted Cayenne, he just brushed it off, but the manager already knew.
“This scammer. He fooled me with cute emoticons.”
“You’re lying!”
The manager jumped up.
“I just kept it a secret because I thought it would be dangerous if you found out too much.”
“Excuses.”
“Really. If you knew that Cayenne was a regressor, you wouldn’t have stayed still.”
“… … .”
“Our Bing-ui-ja is also weak to unfortunate narratives. If he finds out that Cayenne is repeating unfortunate regressions, he’ll obviously step forward to help, but how can I tell him?”
Hot.
The manager knows me so well that I have no words to argue with him.
“Then why not? Whether you’re a possessed person or a regressor, you’re both playing around with the original, so why can’t you help each other out a bit?”
“Oh, no. Our Bing-uija is my number one priority. I don’t want you to be in danger helping others.”
