Chapter 40: Level final – I thought it was a back room, but it was a lily room.

I slowly closed the book.

I didn’t know what it was, but it was hard to believe that a book labeled Bozi love would be a normal book.

And with each page I turned, the eerie feeling brushing against my neck, the unknown sensation, made me stop.

“Why? It looked interesting.”

Sia tilted her head and asked.

She had already picked up several books and was flitting between the BL and Lily corners, looking delighted.

“Something’s wrong.”

I answered in a low voice.

As soon as I closed the book, the whispering that had been tickling my ears disappeared.

There was definitely something in the book.

“Maybe we shouldn’t read the books.”

I warned Sia.

But Sia didn’t listen to me.

Rather, she held up a book, as if my reaction was more interesting.

“Hey, what are you talking about? Look, it’s just a normal story. Here, the protagonist suddenly gets a confession, and the other person is…”

At that moment, Sia’s eyes wavered.

The pages of the book in her hand began to turn automatically.

As if an invisible hand was forcing her to read.

“Sia!”

I grabbed her wrist.

But her gaze didn’t leave the book.

As if hypnotized, she was staring at the book, as if possessed.

“No!”

I quickly snatched the book from Sia’s hand and closed it.

But even then, Sia’s eyes didn’t change.

“Sia?”

Suddenly, Sia’s intense gaze reached me.

At the same time, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

What is it?

Why did it seem that this wasn’t the first time I had seen Sia with that expression?

Even though I knew that Sia had never made that expression before.

It was a truly strange thing.

A strange sense of déjà vu.

Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on Sia’s lips.

That smile gave a feeling that was completely different from the usual bright and cheerful Sia, a feeling of being somehow distorted.

“O..aa…”

The sound of the laughter brushed the air lightly like a paper swaying in the wind, but it sounded very heavy in my ears.

Goosebumps broke out all over my body the moment I heard the sound.

“Sia…, please snap out of it.”

I stepped back and said, but Sia was approaching little by little.

Her footsteps were as light as a ghost, unlike usual, and not even a sound touched the floor.

It felt like she was floating in the air.

It was a clear abnormality.

Her eyes had lost their light and seemed to have fallen into a deep darkness, and something seemed to be moving inside.

I instinctively stepped back.

The bookshelves behind me made a rumbling sound and were about to collapse, but I didn’t have time to turn around.

Sia’s gaze seemed to be piercing through me.

Her hand was slowly reaching out towards me.

Something like a black energy seemed to be seeping out from the tips of her fingers.

“Heehee”

Sia’s voice had a low, deep resonance, completely different from her usual voice.

The moment I heard that voice, I turned and tried to run away.

But before my feet could move, Sia’s hand grabbed my shoulder.

Her touch was cold, as if it was piercing my flesh like ice.

“Come heeeere!!”

“Kyak!”

Sia’s voice echoed in my head.

At that moment, I felt as if I was being wrapped in something.

Invisible threads wrapped around my body and blocked my movements.

I stumbled and fell to the floor, and Sia loomed over me like a shadow.

Her face was clearly visible even in the darkness, and that expression was no longer the Sia I knew.

“…Well, game over.”

The words that flowed out of Sia’s lips sounded like whispers in my ear, but they contained a strong power.

I gasped for breath and looked at Sia. Her eyes were still shining in the darkness, and there seemed to be something mysterious hidden within them.

“Sia, please come to your senses. This isn’t you. Something is controlling you.”

I pleaded desperately, but Sia shook her head and smiled.

That smile, unlike the usual bright smile, gave a feeling that was somehow distorted.

“I’m already in my right mind. Rather, you’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation.”

Sia’s voice was calm, but there was a cold chill within it.

She slowly opened the door to the next room.

The sound of the door opening made a creaking sound, as if an old machine was moving.

…Huh? The door opened without me clearing?”

I questioned, but that question soon subsided.

The next room was filled with bright light and felt like it was leading me to a safe place.

Sia’s hand firmly held my shoulder.

Her hand was cold, but a force of coercion could be felt.

I followed her lead and entered the next room.

The room was still filled with bright light, but that light only added to the sense of unease.

It felt like something hidden in the bright light was waiting for me.

“It’s a shame. I wanted to enjoy it a little longer.”

Sia said regretfully.

Her voice was cold, unlike usual, and seemed to be hiding something within.

I tilted my head and looked at her.

“What are you talking about?”

Sia smiled and looked at me.

That smile still had the distorted feeling of her usual bright smile.

No, maybe that was the original ‘Sia’ smile.

“This place is like a game. It’s a three-strike game. And you’ve already missed three chances.”

Sia’s words made me even more confused.

I looked at her and said.

“Three strikes? What are you talking about?”

“Have you forgotten already? Once in the Hypnotic Room. Once in the Dream s*x Bed. And once in the BL room. It’s already game over.”

I became complicated in my head after hearing her words.

Had those things happened? I couldn’t remember.

But Sia’s words were so certain.

“If we go to level 10, we can escape, but it’s a shame.”

“…How did you, no, then Sia, are you possibly…”

At that moment, Sia’s expression changed suddenly.

She blushed deeply, and her face was ecstatic.

“Fufu, you finally realized?”

Impossible.

No, it couldn’t be.

Sia and I have been working together to get through this Backrooms-

“Ah, and.”

Suddenly, my body was bound.

With chains, tightly.

Long chains that emerged from somewhere firmly restrained my ankles, wrists, abdomen, and thighs.

Sia approached me, who was instantly tied up, and tilted my chin.

“You still think this place is the ‘Backrooms’, right?”

“You’re…”

“…Hic.”

A hiccup escaped me.

“Whether you’re innocent or stupid.”

“…”

My head couldn’t work.

But there was only one thing I could know.

“Honestly, you knew too, right? In this Lily Room, you can’t be caught forever.”

I have been here so far.

This space is…

“Because I designed it that way.”

I thought it was the Backrooms, but it was the Lily Room.

“From now on, Non-19 is over. Fufu, the real fun starts now.

Fufu, you survived longer than expected this time, I was about to go crazy holding back until now.”

February 3, 2025

The diary that she had been diligently writing with those small hands.

Cute.

What number is this time.

Well, since this is the branch that has passed the most Lily Rooms among all the branches so far, should I give her some praise.

Clap clap.

Well done.

Monster File: [The Designer]

Appearance: The designer is Sia.

She usually has a bright smile and has a friendly and positive atmosphere.

Features: She is good at acting.

She pretends to be a survivor and makes the other person let their guard down.

Her behavior and words are always natural and are carefully designed so that no one doubts.

Danger: The designer seems to have absolute control.

Within the Lily Room, it is almost impossible to act against her will.

Weakness: Me? There isn’t.

Additional Information:

The designer has designed the relationship with her from a long time ago.

Sia’s goal is to make her stay here forever and repeat the endless ‘game’.

She has already repeated the ‘game’ countless times.

There were also those who ended in vain in the first room.

Has she gone all the way? Not yet.

As the diary said, this branch is the highest achievement so far, should I say it’s the golden age?

Why do I do this?

I love her.

I’m going crazy because her small, cute, and cute appearance is lovely.

So I’m repeating this ‘game’.

So she doesn’t grow up.

When will it end?

Maybe, forever.

Oh, and I will show you the videos of her tragic endings as well.

It’s a waste to watch it alone.

Hmm, should I call this in professional terms ‘IF ending’?

Anyway, that’s it.

Where do you want to watch from?

Hmm, it would be better to show it from the beginning, right?

Well then, enjoy it.

No Romance edition end.
