Reincarnated as a Villain That was Killed Before the Game Starts

[28] Hilda and the Ghost of Prisoning

“Ha… I knew you wouldn’t have broken me”

Thanks to Feather’s tearful sacrifice, Jimmy woke up.

And he looked at me and said that with resentment.

“Jimmy, how could you ever shut up about being a magic doll?”

“Because Hilda told me to. Hilda wanted me to live as a normal person.”

Jimmy squeaks at Claude asking.

“But I don’t want to be tied to this body anymore. I promised to be on Hilda’s side. I could have waited, and I want to go find the real Hilda.”

“What are you talking about, Jimmy? Besides, you can call the lady away…”

Claude gave a bewildered voice to Jimmy, who looked straight at me and spoke.

“Wow, I…”

“You won’t have to hide it now, Mr. Meiko. I’ve never called you Hilda, and my soul is in different shapes. Could you have forgotten what you were dreaming about?

Jimmy lightly points it out to me when I get upset.

Dreams and Jimmy told me what came to my mind on the pretend.

Strange memory of conversing with Jimmy in my room in the original world.

Jimmy says he’s a ghost about himself, and Hilda’s body has told me to take care of it.

“… who are you, Jimmy”

“That’s everything I wrote in my letter. It’s just a ghost, grabbed by Hilda and tied to this body. If Hilda isn’t here, there’s no point in being here, and I want to go find a real whereabouts, so why don’t you break my body?”

In response to my question, Jimmy faintly replied so.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Jimmy was apparently a sophomore boy living in a country called Nihon when he was alive.

I haven’t lived a lot of life, and I’m dead.

If I thought I was finally liberated, they would have drifted through the starry sky.

– Is this the post-mortem world? That’s where there’s nothing.

If I was flying fluffy with that in mind, the door would show up in front of me.

There came out a girl about three years old from there.

Blonde hair, jade eyes. Sturdy ears.

To his loving appearance, Jimmy wondered if this child was an angel, and approached him.

……

Without saying anything, the girl brought Jimmy inside the door.

There’s nothing there. In a white space.

I don’t know what it is. And the girl disappeared after putting down a confused Jimmy.

Trying to get out, the door won’t open.

Girls come to visit sometimes, but they don’t do anything in particular.

Jimmy was to live in that room, especially since he had no desire to escape or reason to.

When the girl comes, tell her to come home and stroke her head.

Looks like we spent some time playing or sleeping together.

The girl’s name seemed to be Hilda.

Hilda named Jimmy, Jimmy.

That happened to be with the nickname of the original world, and Jimmy laughed.

Then Hilda grows and goes.

She was harsh and queen-like, but Jimmy didn’t hate it.

When he visited this room, he said he only showed Jimmy a sweet face.

In time, Jimmy found out that where he was was was a place called a different space in another world.

Outside this space, there is a world that is different from the one in which I lived.

Hilda told me, but I wasn’t particularly surprised.

Honestly, he didn’t care.

“You’re not running away?

“What are we gonna do with you running away? I’m already dead, and I don’t have a body out there.”

To Jimmy’s words, Hilda looked complicated.

He’s frustrated that he’s giving up everything, like he’s relieved that he’s not running away… that’s how Jimmy got it.

“Hilda, is it okay to come here so much?

“It’s okay because time passes differently over there. Besides, the wax world is boring and crap.”

After even more time, Jimmy began to wonder if his presence was having a negative effect on Hilda.

Jimmy had no idea what environment Hilda lived in.

Jimmy wasn’t going to step in on what Hilda wasn’t going to say.

But if Hilda isn’t familiar with life outside because she’s involved with herself, which is a ghost.

I’ve come to think that’s not a good thing for Hilda.

Jimmy decided to leave here.

I didn’t like it when she grew up like this, obsessed with herself, a ghost, and couldn’t relate well to the outside.

Besides, Jimmy thought he’d had enough happy time.

Though Jimmy cut Hilda goodbye that day, thanking him for getting a peaceful time like this.

“… you run away from the wax until you do. Fine, I’ll put a collar on it for you. I won’t let you go anywhere. Because you’re a wasp thing!

I hear Jimmy totally pissed Hilda off.

At that moment, the white and calm room was instantly transformed into a prison.

Then time flies.

Jimmy was sent outside.

From Hilda’s different spaces to reality in different worlds.

He was given the body of a magic doll and made a pledge.

From the body of this magic doll, Jimmy’s soul – lest the spirit body leave.

Furthermore, he inscribed a pledge on his body that he could not leave Hilda.

“Now you belong to the wax. So stay on your side the whole time. You get it, right?

Hilda, with a cruel grin, said so.

He said he welcomed Jimmy as part of Shota Harlem.

Jimmy told me that it was all a lie to me and Claude that he didn’t remember signing with Hilda.

“Hilda has never revealed my existence to anyone. Besides, I knew very little about the other world, so it would have been more convenient.”

Jimmy apologizes for lying to me.

“… uh, I have a lot to ask you. Is it okay to say that Jimmy came from the same Nihon as me?

“Yes, you will. Unlike Meiko, there are no vessels, so it’s a doll’s body.”

Jimmy nods at me holding his temples.

“Could Jimmy have also been playing a maiden game called The Crown of Dusk?

“No. I’ve never played the game myself. I don’t know that game as much as my friends have kids who are familiar with cartoons and games”

My reading seemed off and Jimmy shook his neck to the side.

“Anyway, I promised Hilda I’d be on my side, so I have to go. She’s so lonely.”

That’s what I said. Jimmy looked sweet.

Jimmy says this body is in the way to pick up Hilda.

Because of the pledge engraved on the body of the magic doll, Jimmy says he can’t get away from Hilda’s side of the body and is also less likely to look like a ghost.

If you break the body of the magic doll, Jimmy is free to move around in ghosts.

With that look, it seemed like he was going to go find Hilda.

“Do you have that?

“The pledge is made via Hilda’s magic, but it is also connected to the soul. It’s possible to go after them.”

That’s what Jimmy said and nodded when he asked.

I was so confused that I decided to rest that day as it was.

In the meantime, Claude came to visit me when I got back to my room.

“What’s wrong, Claude? I’d like to go to sleep today.”

“… isn’t the lady, the lady I know?

It makes me nervous when asked.

I was so distracted by Jimmy’s story that I completely forgot Claude was on the spot.
